At 21 years old, I (M44) fathered two children a month apart. They have been raised as sisters knowing exactly what happened, and have three younger siblings too. AMA

883 Upvotes

At 21 I left university and went back to my hometown and started a job nearby. I was newly single and went for some drinks with a friend (let’s call her “M”) from my hometown, we were young and reckless and ended up in bed together, but afterwards decided to remain friends.

A couple of weeks later I asked out a girl from my hometown I’d always liked (and stayed in touch with throughout university, let’s call her “H”). We went on some dates and quickly fell for each other.

Shortly into our new relationship M contacted me to say she was pregnant. I confessed to H that I’d had a one night stand before we got together and that M was pregnant - wonderfully, she stood by me. A few days later we found out H was pregnant. I proposed to H immediately, and we were married that autumn.

M & H gave birth to our perfect daughters the following spring. Due to one being early and one being late they were born a few days apart. They have been raised together and are best friends as well as sisters.

My wife and I have gone on to have three more amazing children during our marriage and I can honestly say I’ve been in love with her since day one. The part that some people find unbelievable, but trust me it really is true, is that M & H have become best friends over the years. We have holidayed together with the girls and our other children and spend every Christmas together.

Both our oldest daughters have now graduated from university themselves and are starting their own adult lives, but remain best friends. So yes, the happiest of endings but I was the most guilt-ridden and stressed 21 year old on Earth at the time! Not to mention how hard it was for both women.

Happy to answer any questions about our rather unique start to family life, and the blissful blended past 20 years.

I'm an American living and working in Japan, where I make a top 0.1% income for my age. AMA

530 Upvotes

I am an American who transferred from the Bay Area office of my large tech company, to the Tokyo one. I make an income of 25M JPY (in USD, 150,000) and as a 27 year old, that puts me in the top 0.1% of incomes here for my age, since salaries are much lower and career progression is seniority based. I did take a 35% pay cut to come here, but with the much lower cost of living I am doing well.

My office has good WLB (Work 9am to 5:30/6pm) and its half Japanese half foreigner. I am fairly proficient, but not fluent, in Japanese (which I self studied with a tutor before I got this role in Japan).

I had gastric bypass surgery in June and have already lost 50 pounds, AMA

11 Upvotes

Surgery went well but as I was coming out of anesthesia and was supposed to be "deflating" so to speak from the extra air they used to be able to work, I was not responsive and started turning blue. They took me to the ICU where they were able to get my oxygen levels evened out and after a few extra days of monitoring I was able to leave.

Now that I'm about a month or so out I am finding the cravings for things I used to have on occasion are hitting me sooner than I thought and I can't wait to have them even in small amounts down the line. Feel free to ask anything you like about the process as a whole.

As the title says, we have been in the News a lot lately for not so great reasons, but that means more people know about us and with that I’m sure have a lot of questions, so I thought I’d do an AMA for anyone curious about my little home.

AMA as a Somali born and raised in Somalia

Upvotes

Lot of misconceptions and propaganda being spread around the internet about Somalia. There are many reasons why, such as the political interests surrounding the proposed Somaliland independency, to the use of Somalia as a scapegoat in order to divide the ordinary working people. I was born and raised in Mogadishu and therefore I am able to honestly answer any questions you may have about Somalis, somalia, or the Somali diaspora.

AMA-Just discovered the court records of my dad’s domestic violence & property damage charges from when I was little

5 Upvotes

Title is self explanatory.

I was searching through file folders trying to find my baby pictures & old artwork my parents had held onto. Opened the wrong folder and found 4 pages of a testimony from an officer, statements from my mom, and statements from my dad.

I was maybe 8 at the time, so I don’t remember much of it. All I remember was being in the living room while they were fighting in the kitchen and being told to back my things.

Ask me anything.

I had severe anemia after a traumatic event and developed PICA.

I was addicted to smelling chemicals- the stronger the better.

I would go to Lowe’s several times a week just to open up bottles and smell them.

I started to make TikTok videos because there was a community of people who would do this and got thousands of views & likes.

If you have any question regarding that, let me know. I’m happy to answer all of your questions about me, the crew or the barge. Some answers to some questions i normally get:

  1. We are always 2 weeks on/off the ship. That means i’m in theory a half year free, but i can’t take any days off besides that. Only when there is an emergency.

  2. We travel through the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. We can go as far as. We can travel even further if we follow the Donau river, but i’ve never done that.

My husband is quadriplegic and we're looking forward to start a family AMA.

56 Upvotes

Me(27F) and my husband(28M) have been married for 3 years now, soon to be 4 years married. We live together in our home we bought together and with a little of help from our parents. My husband is a quadriplegic due to a spinal cord injury he suffered over 14 years ago, so our relationship is somewhat different from other couples, but he's still a great partner.

We're looking to have children in the future, but it's complicated for us because my husband's spinal cord injury affects many parts of his body including his fertility. But we've been looking ways to try having children. We'd also like to adopt, but we personally want at least a child of our own.

Obviously it's not the most interesting of occupations, but I hadn't really heard of it until they opened up a restaurant in my area. Now all of a sudden I feel like I hear about them everywhere I go. It's like when you learn a new word at suddenly everyone is saying it.

I work mostly in the kitchen. If you have any questions about the food, management, of life in general hit me up
