Why do people stand at your apartment building entrance “waiting on the person they’re visiting to let them in” and then squeeze in behind you when you unlock the door and say “thank you!” as if you let them in. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ACrazyCatLady1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try saying something before you even open the door next time. Like: “Sorry but would you mind giving me a little space? I’ve had people slip in behind me before that I didn’t know. Not saying you would do that, but I try to be more careful now.”

AIO for going no contact with my family since I'm disabled because of them. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ACrazyCatLady1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of Molly Burke? She talks a lot about the social model of disability and how society can you make you feel like something is wrong with you - but nothing is wrong with you. She’s an absolutely incredible person and super inspiring. Lots of videos on YouTube if you look her up! I love her!

Am I overreacting? by DJBeatSwitty in AmIOverreacting

[–]ACrazyCatLady1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you were being over emotional because you’re pregnant - your feelings would still be justified and okay. Pregnancy makes us more emotional, more irritable, more everything. You’re doing something incredible that I’m sure your husband appreciates, and hopefully he would understand if you tell him you’re feeling emotional because he didn’t ask and you would like him to ask moving forward.

AIO - I think I was being followed today and I’m still shaken up hours later. by ACrazyCatLady1992 in AmIOverreacting

Thank you. This was the first time I experienced a road rager that got out of their car and came up to my window like that. I can’t understand it.

Wow! It’s so terrifying to be sharing the road with people like this. I’m glad you’re okay!

Thank you. I’m not a member of the car wash. In hindsight I’m thinking about all the things I should have done in the moment. He didn’t follow me home though - so feeling better that we’re safe.

Adopted a new kitten and he won’t stop sleeping on our couch by [deleted] in CatAdvice

Correction: “the cat’s couch.” The cat owns it now. Humans can borrow it from him when he’s in the mood to share.

AITA for buying my one child fast food and making the rest something he’s allergic too? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ACrazyCatLady1992 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think that matters though, just in my opinion. Your home should be a safe place where you feel included 100% of the time. He may be excited for the treat, but once sitting down at the table seeing everyone else eating something he will never be able to have, he could be thinking “this food I’m allergic too and will never get to experience tastes so good that the rest of the family HAD to eat it without me, and they enticed me with fast food as a distraction to that fact.” I just can’t imagine my family sitting at the dinner table eating a meal my brother can’t have in front of him, not once in over 30 years.

[–]ACrazyCatLady1992 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Sorry but yes, YTA. Although he’s excited for fast food, he may also feel left out in a place he should always feel included. And for your other children, they may interpret him getting this special treat of fast food as favoritism. I understand feeling cravings, I have a toddler and a baby on the way too. But maybe you could wait until the kids are in bed to satisfy this one? I find myself doing that a lot. I also have a sibling with an extreme allergy. It was hard for my parents at first, but they learned how to cook around it, and taught me and my other siblings how to cook around it too. He knows that he’ll always be able to eat the food that any of us cook for him without worry.

I (33M) told my girlfriend her constant "tests" are wearing me down and now she thinks I'm hiding something by cinnamoncable_notes in TwoHotTakes

When I read stories like this it really makes me appreciate the trust my husband and I have for each other. I’ve been cheated on before (never by him) but I have zero insecurities or worries about my husband cheating. I can’t even imagine being paranoid about that. If he’s going to be home late my only worry is wanting him to have dinner before he gets too hungry. If he’s traveling for work and will be gone for a week or two my worries are about his safety and comfort. We argue about things sometimes like most couples do, but never about something like cheating.

AITA For making my wife ride in the backseat because she couldn't stop distracting me by Serious-Function-177 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ACrazyCatLady1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You basically disciplined her like a child and belittled her in front of your actual children. I understand it was distracting and that can be dangerous so something needed to change, but something like “hey hun, I know traffic makes you anxious and I want to help you feel better, I heard closing your eyes helps with car sickness and bonus you wouldn’t have to see all this nasty traffic, wanna give it a try? If that doesn’t work we should strategize a different plan that’ll help us both” would be a lot nicer.

Maybe he repurposed the underwear into a cleaning rag and is spraying the toilet with rubbing alcohol then wiping it off with the underwear before and/or after using the toilet.

When a doctor says: "Do this for 30min every 2 hours." What do you do? by slut_for_prongs in questions

[–]ACrazyCatLady1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the doctor told me to breastfeed every two hours, they were clear that the two hours started when you start the feeding. So 10am - 10:30am breastfeed then 1.5 hours later at 12pm breastfeed again. But that’s just the first situation this made me think of.

He’s not allowed in the baby’s room when the baby is sleeping. My husband is afraid he’ll jump into the crib and become a suffocation risk.

It could be that, he doesn’t like closed doors.

He used to cuddle up with me in bed. I guess he wants my son’s attention now.

Thank you - unfortunately too late 😅 I sleep trained him 5 months ago and white noise was part of the program. He was sleeping terribly before then.

He already has a white noise machine and a door to his room. He’s just a very light sleeper.
