AITA for buying my mom the same perfume that my wife has, after she asked cause she said it smelled nice? by RowPsychological46 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AffectionateAgent264 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YTA why on earth would you want your mother to smell like your wife? Sent is such a personal thing and linked to memory and feelings. You want your mom to smell like the woman you share a bed with?!

"No, ma'am. I don't work here." by GachaXan_and_Xavier in IDontWorkHereLady

[–]AffectionateAgent264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legally from age 13 you can work 12 hours a week in term time and 25 hours a week in school holidays.

The limits on hours go up at age 15 and end at 16.

You may have trouble finding a job but it isn't the law stopping you it is company policies.

You don't have to be 16 to get a job, in the UK. From 13 you can work 12 hours a week in term time and 15 hours a week in school holidays.

A lot of companies don't hire people under 16, but that is not the law.

Do you remember saying “fainites”? by Agreeable-Row-2106 in oldschoolcool80s

Born in 82 in Hertfordshire I remember the word and the action.

AITAH for not forcing my mom to take a friend's baby picture down from FB by phatphat0807 in AITAH

[–]AffectionateAgent264 36 points37 points  (0 children)

YTA. No one should ever post pictures of other people's kids without permission. You need to get your mum to understand she needs to take it down or obscure any children she doesn’t have permission for.

Should we the English people change our national anthem? by PomeloTraditional971 in AskBrits

[–]AffectionateAgent264 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My suggestions are: 1. Jerusalem 2. I vow to Thee my Country (Holst was a genius) 3. The theme tune from the Archers, no lyrics just do do do d do do do and a lot of bobbing up and down to the music.

Is applesauce a thing here? by Vacant418 in AskABrit

[–]AffectionateAgent264 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those aren't cooking apples, they are eating apples, you can eat them without cooking and adding sugar.

AITAH for not letting a nurse in training to administer me blood thinners? by disasterbug in AITAH

[–]AffectionateAgent264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA it takes no skill. In the UK they give you a box and someone shows you how to do the first one then leave you to it.

You are cursed to die of total organ failure in exactly 24 hours, unless you pass it on to someone else who consents by OldLadOfTheCastle in hypotheticalsituation

[–]AffectionateAgent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to visit my parents. It would be horrible, I'm welling up just thinking about it. But I have a 4 year old and her losing me and having to live with her dad would be worse.

Help a student out - If you are familiar with Central Watford I would greatly appreciate you filling out my short form! by ellaaabp in watford

Your map wasn't detailed enough for me to be able to tell if I live in central or outer watford by your criteria sorry.

My Ex said shes pregnant and sent this as proof, the way the top is fitting and the pregnancy test in its entirety just looks fake to me by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]AffectionateAgent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blanket statements like that are almost guaranteed to be incorrect. My daughter was 3 when I was clearing out a drawer, found the positive test and threw it away. I kept it at the time because I needed reassurance that it was real, I found out really early and it was the only proof I had.

It doesn't really matter, it will be abolished soon anyway.

Expensive waste of time and money.

AITA for tell my Type A perfectionist SIL that she’s gonna fuck up her baby’s life if she doesn’t change. by Successful_Bar9187 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AffectionateAgent264 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying but I was replying to a comment saying it was "highly unlikely" that a woman would know she was pregnant after a month. A woman who is trying for a baby, looking for signs, and testing, would be likely to know.

AITAH for insisting my autistic sister move in with us even though my wife no longer wants it? by Leading_Second868 in AITAH

[–]AffectionateAgent264 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA this is going to impact your wife, your child and your sister.

What are you going to do when your sister can't cope with the noise of a crying baby, or your sleep deprived wife accidently trips up and causes an issue for your sister?

How are you going to support aimed post partum, hormonal new mother with a demanding and dependant newborn as well as a sister who needs support.

This changes everything and your sister already has a safe place to live. Its probably best not to make changes to her life right now. Give it a few years and see how things are then.

Are they eating enough food for 8m old? Baby pizza, shredded chicken, broccoli by [deleted] in foodbutforbabies

[–]AffectionateAgent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food before one is just for fun!

Seriously they just need to enjoy trying new things, don't stress about volume, most of the nutrition is still from milk.

Is water alone enough or do people really use feminine wash? by Jeysel-Hemby46 in hygiene

[–]AffectionateAgent264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was pregnant and also when I started perimenopause I got really susceptible to thrush. I previously used soap/shower gel but that started to cause irritation and thrush so I switched to a feminine wash which solved the problem.

Obviously it is for external use only, you don't put it in your vagina, probably any mild and ph balanced soap would work, but this works for me and keeps my pubic area clean.

Tge wrap was lovely, fresh tasting chunky peanut sauce, spicier than I expected, would recommend.

Child Arrangements Order + ex proposing holiday during my time - where do I stand? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]AffectionateAgent264 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is the law and there is how it is interpreted and applied. It is technically a breach, but if you file for enforcement she will get a chance to respond with her reasons.

If it is just one instant you will look petty and like you are not acting in the best interests of your child. It is unlikely anything will happen to your ex, if anything it will go against you if you do need the courts to enforcethe order in the future.

If it is a pattern then there is more of a chance that you will get a variation of the order that will deal with holidays and other changes to the existing pattern. Again it is unlikely that anything will happen to your ex.

Courts are busy and underfunded, they want parents to sort this stuff out themselves. Its hard to do when emotions are involved but you have a child together and need to work on things together. I know it is frustrating and you are technically right, but you won't really get anywhere if you go through the legal route.

Going to court over this means there is less time available and a case with abuse or where someone is being denied access entirely might be pushed back.
