(I don't know what season this is, it was just something that I've been thinking about for a long while)

Spoilers (maybe?)

This is just my opinion, I don't know if anyone else shares my opinion or not, which is why the post is called 'unpopular opinion'. I've been thinking about this for a while, even before I rewatched it. I think Eddie should have let Christopher in Texas with his parents for a little longer. He should have started getting therapy because dating a woman that looks exactly like your dead ex is definitely something one would need to go to therapy for, Christopher too. I can't imagine how traumatizing that is to know your mother is dead and then walk in on your father cheating on his girlfriend with a woman that you thought was your mom but turns out to be a random lady that looked exactly like her. Even after Christopher came back, no one told them that they need to for to therapy. I know therapy can't work miracles for something like this but I think it's something that they both need to do.>!&#x200B;!<

I watched the anime a few years ago, and I recently decided to read the manga, but it's unfinished 🥲. I still read it, but I want something (preferably finished) that is as wholesome as 'How to Keep a Mummy.'

I think Dawson's mom's reason for cheat is so stupid. I cheated because my life is too perfect. Really? So you got what you wanted an affair, and the drama and consequences that come with that. You had Mitch and Dawson going through it because you wanted to have your cake and eat it too. Also she and her co anchor weren't even discreet about their relationship. They were openly kissing and being lovey dovey out in public in a SMALL TOWN, plus she's a public figure in their town! I'm surprised that they weren't outed sooner.

Degrassi is being rebooted (again), how would you write the main character/side characters?

I want some youtube channel recommendations or a subreddit where I can post this and get some channel recommendations. I like vlog content, gaming content, reddit stories, Kpop content, and anime content, movie and tv content (. I would love to support some small YouTubers with great content (idk what exactly counts as a having a small following on there though, under 90k?). Here are some yt channels that I enjoy watching to help with similar recs: Benoftheweek, Via.liyouu (Via Li), Aminasnotokay, D'Angelo wallace, Oz vault (reddit channel, and I've watched a few and this is my fav), Kubscoutz, MoreAnt, Malixa, Tuv, Nicole Rafiee, ur Internet mom ash, trin lovell, Sophia phan, wurld, chad chad, dorisxchi, cortreezy, deb smikle, chase bridges, Cruel World Happy Mind, Nikki Carreon, Caitlin mckillop, faline San, Queer Kiwi, and Annamarie Forcino. This is all the channels that I watch. Please give me more recommendations! I'm running out of stuff to watch because majority of them post monthly or every few months!

Edit: I changed what the original post said. I don't know what happened bc I had a completely different post written, the one before was for a different subreddit (r/YouTube) and I tried to write a new one because it wouldn't make since to post here because it said that I posted in this subreddit before which I didn't. I just want to find a subreddit where I could post and receive new YouTube channels recommendations. This is what it originally said but I did rewrite it and it reposted this one instead"

I want some yt channel recommendations and I made a post about it here yesterday but only one person replied, and I want to expand with more than just one channel. I don't want to spam this subreddit but I really want to watch new channels. So can you help me by replying to my previous post with some of your favorite channels, or recommend me a different subreddit where I can post the previous post again?

I did use that notification that Reddit does sometimes, "Maybe this post is better suited for.." thing and it showed me this subreddit. Usually it doesn't show me any relevant subreddits that my posts can actually go in. I don't know if that's why it changed but technically I did write this in r/ YouTube but no one replied so I wrote the message about a subreddit for channel recommendations instead. That's why it says "can you help me by replying to my previous post." Anyways some channel recommendations or a subreddit where I can get them would be great. Thanks!

Please recommend me a webtoon with black main characters, specifically of the romance or comedy genre. I want to read some but it's okay if you recommend horror or action, or any other genre that I'm forgetting about.

What movies (post show) do you think that Dawson would be obsessed with today?

I'm a first time watcher and I'm only in episode eight and I don't like anybody 😭

Original Post: June 8, 2025

Saturday night I came back home at around 6pm and my husband called me saying that he was supposed to pick up his daughter (5) from her mom's and that he's stuck at work so her mom would drop her off at our place. I said okay and I was watching tv and expecting them to arrive soon. Around 8pm my dog started barking and jumping at the window and when I went to see what's going on I noticed the pool water was wavy. I went outside and saw the little girl in the water and she was unconscious. I pulled her out and she wasn't breathing. I called the ambulance while trying to like revive her. The ambulance arrived within 10 mins and I genuinely thought she drowned but thankfully they managed to save her. She is completely okay now.

The thing is, I had no idea that her mom had already dropped her off. She didn't knock or anything so she probably just left her in front of the house. Her mom also came when she found out and she was trying to blame me, telling me I tried to murder her daughter. I already told my husband that they didn't knock or enter the house and I had no idea the girl was even there.

Everything became even more messy, basically the woman kept on yelling at me, telling me how she's going to fight me and things like how she's going to hold me under water so I "see how that feels". ???

First off all, if it wasn't for my dog barking at the window I would have no idea the girl was in the pool and she would drown because I had no fucking idea that the moron dropped her off in front of the house without even knocking or anything. I said this and she SPIT at me. The police ended up holding her back and then my husband came back too and it was just so shitty.

After this I got calls from her parents and they also tried to threaten me on phone but I just shut them down. A couple other people who ig she said her version of this to called me and yeah, same thing.

I know or at least feel like it's not my fault but atp I want to clarify more.

I forgot to say that I do have a fence around the house, in the backyard and it's usually locked but that day it wasn't which I know is my fault. Also as I said this is my house, this was the first time the girl was here so I have no idea why would her mom just drop her off in front of a house she's never been to and no idea why did the girl go for the pool when she couldn't have seen it from the street, like idk why did she go to backyard. I'm not blaming her, I'm just explaining. Also my country doesn't have a law for fence directly around the pool, there is usually a cover but I wanted the water to get warmer. I don't live here but I'm currently renovating.

Commenter 1: Thank God your stepdaughter is OK

> OOP: I agree

Commenter 2: NTA you don't say whether your husband is backing you up.

> OOP: He is

Isn't it mandatory to have a pool fence in OOP's area?

> OOP: Technically in my country there is no law that says I have to have a fence around the pool

Commenter 3: A five year old lives at your house but can access the pool if they're dropped off in front of the house? > > OOP: She doesn't live here >> >> Commenter 4: So if y'all don't live there, how would the mother, whom you called a moron, know there's a pool in the back? >>> >>> OOP: She doesn't have to know there is a pool. The same way that the girl went into the backyard she could have wandered away from the house and end up somewhere else. The mom knew about the pool though.

Downvoted Commenter: Why is your stepchild being dropped off at your house without her mother (aka “the woman”) talking to you to let you know there we’re coming or that they were there? Weird. Not your fault, but I still think that lack of communication is weird.

You keep referring to her as “the girl” like you’re detached from the idea that she’s actually your step daughter and a part of your family. You’re also so blasé about the fence thing despite knowing she’s 5, and drowning is one of the most common deaths for children. I’m getting weird (possibly fake) vibes from this post.

ESH except for “the girl.”

> OOP: I don't know why didn't her mother wait for her to enter. I started refering to her as the girl because it's shorter to write. She doesn't live here and this pool has been here for more then 20 years, it's perfectly legal I never thought anything of it.

Update: June 9, 2025 (next day)

Since my post had a lot of views and comments I feel like I should post a final update. Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/s/0hRss6aD8L

I won't fully go into details but my husband talked to his daughter (I still haven't spoken to her or seen her since) and he asked her what happened. So they arrived to the back of the house and not actually to the front because they thought that was the front, which is fine. Still, the mom did just drop her off and drove away thinking she's going to knock on the door and come inside.

Thankfully, neighbours camera actually caught one side of the car and it very obviously shows that the car stopped for not more than 30 seconds and since it caught the drivers side, it's visible that the driver, the mom, didn't exit the car and drove away.

So the girl said that she was going to knock on the door but she saw a frog in the grass by the pool and wanted to pick it and bring inside. Gate for the backyard was open and she went inside, frog was running away from her and fell in the pool. She tried to reach for the frog and fell inside.

Even though what happened was horrible, thankfully she is okay now and it didn't cause any serious damage. I already said in my previous post that the gate was unlocked but, even worse, she walked in through other side which was completely open. Thankfully the pool wasn't covered because if she stepped on the cover it would literally trap her inside.

I feel really bad for what happened, knowing that part of leaving the gare open was my fault but at least the worst outcome didn't happen.

I won't share anymore about anything related to situation with mom and police.

Commenter 1: Again NTA. That child should never have been dropped off without her mother making sure that she got safely inside your house.

Please get locks and additional safety measures for your pool. And give yourself some grace.

> OOP: I will always keep the fence locked from now on.

> The mom doesn't really interact with me 🤷🏻‍♀️ if I text her something about her daughter she just leaves me on seen and answers through my husband. I guess she didn't want to see me or whatever but I don't understand how can she willingly leave her kid with someone she doesn't even want to interact with

Commenter 2: Wow, so she knows she was the one who almost killed her kid and she still had the nerve to blame you and SPIT on you. She abandoned a 5 year old in front of a house neither had ever been to and just drove off... > > Commenter 3: Worse, actually at the back of the house rather than the front. >> >> OOP: The back looks similar to front so I get that she didn't see but still the gate was open, she saw that
