TIFU by hiring a male babysitter (15M) for my kid (8M), which ended in my teenage son (16M) finding a ....boyfriend (?)

Obligatory first time poster, not a native speaker so thanks for any corrections.

Last week, due to work-related reasons, my husband and myself were not going to be at home friday night. Normally this wouldn't be a problem as my 16 year old takes care of my 8 years old when this happens, but he had soccer practice until 8 pm which means he was arriving home say 9... too late. So we had to get a babysitter. Luckily for me, the school has a list of teens that are available for odd jobs and we could get one of there.

Because we live a little bit far away and whoever came likely needed to stay the night , I decided no girls for obvious reasons. I know, I know, sex should not be a taboo but teenage hormones are teenage hormones and modesty aside, my genes are good! My boy is quite handsome if I say so myself and I dont want to be a grandma before reaching the 50's.

So we get a boy, a pretty decent young man a grade below my son, super friendly, with good references. Perfect in all ways. I left friday night trusting my awesome momma ideas.

Come saturday morning 7 am and thinks are....weird. First of all, my teenage son is awake .... he would never, ever, not in a million years wake early on weekends. Last time I saw him do that he was 10. And both guys were...I don't now how to explain it, but you could feel it. They looked unconfortable when talking to each other during breakfast but at the same time wanted to talk? And on handsight I can swear they were blushing like crazy.

I didn't think to much of it until recently when I casually heard my son talking on the phone and he mentioned this kids name ( not at all common in our area ). I also realized that this week he has been talking a lot in the phone, normally he would just text.

I know , its all very vague, but while I never had the vibe my son could be gay is not entirely impossible. And I am sure something happened that night between them ( not a fan of learning the details on that one though)

I guess time would tell, but it seems my little plan against teenage love completely backfired.

​

TL;DR I hired a male nanny for my little child instead of a girl because I wanted to prevent teenagers doing the snu snu under my roof, but it seems I just played matchmaker for my son and his new partner.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
