How One Man’s Grudge Led to an Unthinkable Crime
Imagine the horror of discovering your infant son, lifeless in his crib on Father’s Day. This was the grim reality for Amy Shanabarger. Her seven-month-old son, Tyler, appeared to have succumbed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, but the truth was far more sinister.
In a confession that shocked the nation, Ronald L. Shanabarger admitted to suffocating his own child with plastic wrap. His motive? Revenge. The origins of this twisted act of vengeance trace back to 1996 when Amy, then his girlfriend, refused to cut short a vacation to comfort Ronald after his father’s death. Shanabarger decided that he would make Amy feel the same devastating loss he felt, a plan so cruel and calculated that it is difficult for the rational mind to comprehend.

“My girlfriend no longer wants to work”
I love my girlfriend. I want to say this to establish that this behavioral shift is what’s making me reconsider things, and not deeply buried emotions or whatever.
We’ve been together for 4 years. She had a tough kickstart in her career as she started around covid time. But so did I and many others as well. I told her I supported her and stood by her side, at times when I too was struggling.
She gives up to stress so easily and doesn’t try her best, which isn’t a fault on its own. But then she just blames everyone and everything for all of it.
Now, she has a stable job that pays ~$65k with student loan around 25k. She quit 2 months ago because she didn’t want to work anymore. She wants to stay at home, do home chores, leisure and personal care, entertainment, and nothing else.

Why Aren’t Students Taught Practical Things In School? (Build Things, Sewing, Financial Literacy, Cooking)
The first and most obvious part of it is that the past couple years have definitely proven that adults at large do not have a great grasp of critical reading skills, along with other things that have been vital to understanding the world around them like how statistics work, scientific principles, or understanding research practices like peer review. This means that the average sixth grader definitely does not possess all the learning from the core subjects they’ll need.
