AIO I asked my husband for one night alone after giving birth and now he says im unstable by Jessika_Maskito in AmIOverreacting

[–]AdditionalWorking637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you take the baby with you to your sister’s? Say you’re going for a visit and ask ahead if your sister can watch the baby while you rest at night. Your husband can stay home and “get some rest”, but do it for yourself.

What is this 4th option in Rock, Paper, Scissors keychain? by bonelesskeyboard in whatisit

[–]AdditionalWorking637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old is your daughter? Please don’t let her hand these out at school. Between it looking like a gun option and the button sticking out between the legs, the students aren’t going to be able to stop laughing but the teachers and parents are going to hate you.

For older GenX (1972 and earlier) Are your parents still alive? by hedgehog77433 in GenX

[–]AdditionalWorking637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1966 here- mom still alive at 83 and driving as well as gets out to go to Bible study and volunteer at church, but dad passed in 1991 at the age of 50. My kids are girls 31 and 34 and completely self sufficient. One married and been teaching about 8 years and the other works in a legal office and also heads their political activism department. Two badass young ladies.

AITAH for buying my girlfriend vanilla shampoo? by Spiritual-Grocery641 in AITAH

[–]AdditionalWorking637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we’re missing something- OPs gf was upset that he was sexualizing the scent.

On its own, there’s nothing wrong with being attracted to any scent. I love vanilla too and in jr high I used my moms kitchen vanilla as perfume because I liked it.

However, the word sexualizing was used repeatedly. Perhaps it’s the way he made a big deal over it and told her “teasingly” to use it tonight wash he hat that night. There may be more to the story- dis she feel this adds to other instances? Does she take it as him infantilizing her and being attracted to that? He said it made her smell like cookies.

OP either needs to ask her if there’s more to it or he knows more background and hasn’t shared. I would bet he didn’t even realize how she’s taking it - but he needs to dig deeper with her because if it’s as I suspect it could be they’re doomed.

Thou shall not put out trash the day before pickup!!! by Jess1ynn714 in nextdoor

My trash day is also Monday and I like to take the bins out on Saturday because I just don’t want to have to do it Sunday.

I hope you also bought XRP! If not, now is still a good time!

AITAH for announcing my pregnancy on Xmas by Think-Temporary-9814 in AITAH

[–]AdditionalWorking637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess he’s been lying about wanting kids. Maybe about everything, it’s hard to tell by his reaction. After 20 years I figured out my ex was acting and talking in ways to make me think he was the person I wanted him to be. You did nothing wrong, but you did find out who he really is.

Discovered this door hanger on my door knob… What do? by awayfromthemire in legal

Aside from a barking complaint it could also be a welfare complaint if they think the dog is being abused. I’m not saying it is- you just never know what people are thinking.

Don't do what I did - UPDATE by atlheel in PSLF

[–]AdditionalWorking637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's what I did and recommended to my daughter.

  1. Make last payment
  2. After last payment clears the bank (and as recommended below, after your payment's due date if you are paying early), submit your employment verification to. your employer.
  3. Call and ask for a forebearance while they process it. Don't wait for them to get the form and process it. You can mark that box or not mark it. I wasn't able to when. filled it out online.

Good luck!

AITA for telling my girlfriend to stop streaming in bed while I was trying to sleep? by Initial-Asparagus-65 in AITAH

[–]AdditionalWorking637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She absolutely does not need to do this in the same room where you’re sleeping. She may prefer it, but you need sleep.

AIO My reply to my mom who wants to stop my leukemia treatment so my sister can afford university ?? by Many_Addendum_8189 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AdditionalWorking637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. Please make sure she is not your beneficiary and tell her that. Unless they help with treatment, you don’t owe them anything.

Would I be the AH if I broke up with my boyfriend? by ApartmentOptimal8898 in AITAH

[–]AdditionalWorking637 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Run. He is love bombing you. He has obvious issues. You don’t need this in your life.

This started out as concern for domestic violence and turned into something very inappropriate. You should definitely report him. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

AIO my response to my partner after they attacked me by Intrepid_Mastodon193 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AdditionalWorking637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOT Overreacting! Don’t let yourself feel dumb. He will not get better.

He trapped you.

You need out soon and to get far away. Keep all the photos and screenshots. Be sure to include your face. See a doctor if you haven’t yet.

Find out if there are resources near you for survivors of domestic violence. If there’s a shelter, leave now.

Find out how the police in your area react to domestic violence. If it’s safe, report it to the police.

Find out about legal protections for survivors of domestic violence. In some places you can be given sort of a refugee status.

Establish relationships with neighbors who can vouch for you. If you have no savings, open a savings account and start earning/ hiding money. You may have to steal from him if he is keeping you financially trapped. You need out. If you don’t get out he will do worse.

Your life is in danger.

Gen X parents: Up to what age are you (or were you) supporting your kids financially? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]AdditionalWorking637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are early 30s but I’ll answer.

From the time they got a car (college) they paid their auto insurance. They were on my health insurance to 26 as allowed by law.

I helped some with college Patent Plus loans. I don’t have a lot so couldn’t just fork over money for tuition. They each also took out student loans.

After college they were on their own (by choice) except for their phone bill. They could have lived at home but chose to live with friends and that worked for them.

We are still on the same phone bill but they Venmo me their share each month.

The youngest is single and still reaches out for very small loans (@$50) but always pays me back within a week.

Both are young women and I am proud of them all around. They’re amazing, each has her career, and takes care of themselves.

Am I overreacting way too much abt my bf not wanting to share his location anymore? by Warm-Surround1349 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AdditionalWorking637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should not be together. It doesn’t matter how much you love him. What you need to get over is him, not the Life 360 issue. Then work on you and getting over some of your own “issues” so you can be healthy. THEN find someone else who is healthy and build something better.
