Recently, a missionary made assumptions about me

I was walking my kids through an indoor mall. There was a new booth ran by some missionaries of a religious group. I am going to keep the religion anonymous, because I believe all religions at their cores are good. One missionary pulled me over and complimented my cute kids. I thanked her and she asked me if I ever heard of them. I answered “yes, but I am not interested in joining.” She asked me if I can give her a couple of minutes. So far, it was a nice interaction, and I had time to kill. I decided I wouldn’t mind just listening to her for a bit. A few minutes have passed, and my kids were getting ready to leave. They were crying. I told her I need to tend to my kids. She wouldn’t stop talking. She then stepped in between me and the stroller and patted one of my kid. She proceeded to ask me “where did you grow up as a kid?” I told her and she immediately assumed I was involved as a child with the geo-political struggle of that region of the world. She basically told me how bad I was indoctrinated as a child, and how her religion can save me. I remember I felt so uncomfortable, and I told her “thank you for your time. The kids are crying. I really have to go.” Then I started walking and trying to get away from her as quick as possible.

It’s been almost 3 weeks, and this interaction is still playing over in my head. I feel so disappointed in myself like I could have ended the interaction sooner. I feel discriminated against and sad. How would you ladies handled this situation? Also should I have given her a chance to talk to me at all?

Do you think this is acceptable?

A few times lately when my husband and I have had a disagreement and I’ve tried to walked away, he would grab my arm and pull me back but immediately let go. Tonight it happened again, we had a disagreement about the car and I knew this wasn’t going to get anywhere so I just turned away to walk out the kitchen and he immediately grab my arm and pulled me back and said don’t roll your eyes at me!! I didn’t roll my eyes at him, I l literally turned around to walk out the kitchen because I didn’t want to continue this discussion. I called him out on it saying why does he thinks it’s okay to grab me and pull me back and he tried to continue the car discussion. I said I was done about conversation and that I want to get to the bottom as to why he thought that was okay. He didn’t say anything and we went up for bed. We got to the bedroom and I questioned him again saying why did be feel comfortable grabbing me like that and when did he think this was acceptable? He completely ignored me and just laid there staring at the ceiling. I stood there and waited for a response and nothing so I repeated myself again and asked him, why he felt comfortable grabbing me like that! He didn’t say anything back and just laid there and completely ignored me. We’ve been together for 7 years and this has never happened until recently. As someone who grew up in an abusive home, I don’t want history to repeat itself, I have daughter to protect and a baby on the way! I don’t know why he has started doing this!

I am not going to spend and break my back looking for a tiny little piece of a McDonald's toy because he dropped it and it could be in a million places and it's fucking bedtime

Sorry but just my rant I am totally overstimulated and I've spent all day with my three and a half year old and I'm going nuts everyday I go nuts

What is wrong with me I feel like I can't make it and I fail every fucking day

I have seen mom's bent over backwards just to do this tiny little thing but I am not that kind of Mom sorry

Mad at husband!!

I lost my job and currently a SAHM, first time mom, my husband puts me second when it some to his sister and mom but when it is just us, he gives me priority, it’s frustrating irritating and taking a toll on me, when I. Bring it up, he says I’m imagining!!! For example he bought me a branded belt which I wanted to wear while we were going out, with his sister, he didn’t even ask if I’m planning to wear it or not just told me to bring the belt for her, now when I ordered a t shirt, it’s been missing and when I asked to check, if it’s in his sisters order, no told me to just leave it!! So many things like this. Now I’m
Not able to tolerate and crying and lots of headache and don’t know what to do

7th grader struggling to write

Last year in 6th grade my pretty smart kid struggled in English. As a result I added reading for 30 minutes and writing about it as a chore. Today I was the first time we started, asked him to write two pages about his favorite character. He was struggling, hard. 1.5 hours later and he had half a page just recapping the story.

I suggested lots of sentence starters. Reminded him we have to practice writing to get better. That I just want him to be more prepared this year and he seems to understand the why. But he sits there just staring at the page like it’s the worst thing ever. He even said he rather shovel dog poop lol

Am I approaching this wrong? I don’t want him to be miserable writing but I do think he needs to do it more. I told him it doesn’t have to be perfect, just want him to stream his thoughts on paper. I thought 2 pages was age appropriate but am I wrong?
