A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Realizing we're not getting paid to be your therapist.

Really though, talk to someone who can help. The Internet will do the opposite.

Wait, what?

Your dad is prochoice because your sister is now sexually active. I understand that.

But is your mom mad because she wanted an abortion and your dad refused? Meaning either you, your sister or both were unwanted pregnancies?

Wild guess, reading between the lines:

Dad had an extramarital affair. His squeeze got preggers. Dad is suddenly pro-choice.

Mom finds out about the affair and the pregnancy and is now mad at dad.

OP only knows what his parents have shared, intentionally or not.

Thanks. I think that's probably it. I couldn't really piece it together either.
