Well, that’s that then

This isn’t just happening in Tennessee. There are reports of voters in other states experiencing touchscreen voting machines changing their selections from Democratic to Republican candidates.

Please check, double-check, and TRIPLE-CHECK your ballot before submitting it. Make sure every vote reflects your choice. If something looks wrong, alert a poll worker before casting your ballot.

No one noticed because it was on a middle shelf in the back and turned black.

Insane

My 5 year old son has always been delayed. He's hit all of his milestones significantly later than most kids his age. He's in physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 3. I was willing to accept this diagnosis. My husband was not. He said it just didn't seem to fit our son. So we started seeing a neurologist who, upon first meeting our son, immediately seemed to question the autism diagnosis. So, we decided to do some genetic testing.

When we found out we were pregnant with our son, we opted not to do any genetic testing or carrier screening when my OB clinic offered. We didn't have a lot of money, and we had no reason to believe anything ran on either side of our families. About a month ago, we got our son's genetic testing results back. He has Fragile X Syndrome. We were shocked. And the more we looked into Fragile X, the more devastated we became. It's an X chromosome linked disorder, meaning it (usually) comes from the mom's side. It's the most common genetically linked form of intellectual disability. Their body doesn't create the proteins needed to be able to learn. After reading stories from other families with Fragile X children and speaking to multiple genetic counselors, it's very likely that our son will never be able to get a job, be independent, have a family of his own.

Because I am a carrier of Fragile X ( I have one normal X and one affected X), each pregnancy has about a 50% chance of receiving my affected X chromosome. Males are much more likely to be severely affected. And just based on developmental and physical similarities, we believe his 1.5 year old brother also has Fragile X. We are getting him tested next week to be sure.

Then we started reading about how females who are Fragile X carriers have a chance of going through menopause early - like in their 30s (I'm early 30s). There's also a chance of developing Parkinsons-like symptoms (tremors, ataxia, memory loss) in my 50s.

And because we weren't dealing with enough already, we found all of this out when I was 16 weeks pregnant...with another boy. We have been scrambling to get in somewhere to do an amniocentesis to test if this baby has Fragile X. We are considering termination if he does have it. I feel so broken and so guilty. I have cried every day and I change my mind every hour. This baby was planned and wanted. But my husband and I don't come from big families. When we go, there will be no one left to look out for our children who will likely not understand what's going on. To subject a third child to a future where we can't guarantee they'll be looked after when my husband and I are gone feels cruel and irresponsible.

My mental health has been absolutely horrible. I feel like I'm already in a state of grieving. I no longer want to see my baby on ultrasounds. I don't want to feel him kicking. It just reminds me that he's there and that I may have to say goodbye to him. I guess I'm just looking for some words of comfort from internet strangers as we face this impossible decision.

AITA for making my husband replace 15 meals after he gave half my meal prep to his sister?

Every month I spend a full Sunday doing meal prep for us. I plan out the recipes the week before and do one big grocery run on Saturday, usually about $190. Then Sunday morning to Sunday night I’m in the kitchen cooking and portioning everything into containers. 30 meals go into the chest freezer, all labeled, and that’s what we eat on weeknights for the month.

My husband’s sister had her baby a few weeks ago. She came over last Thursday with the baby so we could finally meet her. I was still at work when she got there.

When I got home my husband told me his sister looked really exhausted and he’d packed up a bunch of the meals from the freezer and sent her home with them so she wouldn’t have to worry about cooking for a while. I said that was really sweet and didn’t think anything of it.

Monday I went to grab dinner and half the freezer shelf was empty. I went through the labels and counted. He’d given her 15 of the 30.

I asked him why he didn’t check with me first. He said she needed them right then and we still had enough to get through 2 weeks. I told him that’s not really the point, I spent a full day making those and now I have to do the whole thing over again in the middle of the month which I have literally never had to do.

He offered to help me make more this weekend. He’s never made a single meal in 4 years. I’ve never once seen him use anything in the kitchen besides the coffee maker and the microwave.

I told him he’s replacing all 15 himself. I’ll buy the groceries and write out every recipe but he’s the one cooking them. He gave away an entire day of my work and he can find out what that actually takes.

His mom called me that night to say I’m being petty over some damn food. AITA?
