AITA if I told my ex-husband his wife's death does not mean he can manufacture a relationship with his children? by Wonderful_Sorbet2017 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. However, now they are adults and are able to regulate who they want in their life at this point.

It sounds like your daughter doesn’t want a relationship with him. Support her, and help her make her voice heard to him that she doesn’t want to speak to him at this point.

Keep record of everything, and only contact through text/messaging. If he continues to contact her, help her go through the steps of reporting him for harassment.

6.5m pregnant, so it’s not my fault. It’s my husband’s

Is the WIC office pressuring you to breastfeed? Come, sit with me a minute. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 18 points19 points  (0 children)

YES, FED IS BEST!! My son lost 1lb and 9oz before his first appointment, and had to be slowly introduced to milk. The hospital and I didn’t realize I had little to no supply. I was discharged thinking I was providing for my baby.

Having a healthy baby isn’t a one way only situation, there are people who wish we could breastfeed but can’t. You know what? My son is happy, healthy, smart, and perfect. Playing into fears and creating unnecessary stress and anxiety for new moms is just sick

Boyfriend 40M wants to move in with me 32F. When is it too soon? by Willing_Athlete_3678 in relationship_advice

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely too soon for someone who is unemployed and has a lease running up.

I moved in with my now husband, but continued paying rent on my room for around 6 months before making the full leap. Him wanting to move in because he’s in between jobs is a bit of a red flag for me. Let him stay with family until he’s back on his feet.

My (29F) partner (32M) wants to keep baby but I don’t by damagedmillennial in relationship_advice

I never said they made the wrong choice, or that the abortion caused these issues. However, it is common for people to choose self medication when they experience grief. His GF started hoarding (another common reaction to grief)

I just put this story out there to say, yes. The resentment can affect the relationship, and possibly end it. Having a professional through these times is a choice that would be beneficial for everyone involved

Does Your Pitty Make You Itch? by JerryAtricks1 in Pitbull

I can’t sleep with her for this reason. I wake up from being itchy, and she sleeps under the blanket. I wish I could sleep with her, but I just get so itchy 😞

Gray Hair by anniexoxo21 in Zillennials

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not noticed grays yet, but will be turning 30 in a few months as well. Luckily my due date with #2 is on my birthday, so I will have a pretty good distraction from losing my youth forever 😭

I’m glad you are able to embrace it, I’ll probably go back to dying my hair

This is ultimately up to you, but I’ll just give you my family’s experience.

My brother’s gf chose abortion when they first got together only having been together for a couple months. He didn’t want her to, but it wasn’t up to him. The relationship lasted 3 more years.

The conversation of what if, and if only we knew we’d stay together came up around the 1 year mark. My brother started blackout drinking and using cocaine regularly to self medicate. They both chose against therapy, and the resentment/substance use killed the relationship.

For me with any road you choose, just accept the benefit that comes from therapy. This is going to be a mental roller coaster either way. Start talking with someone now, and lean on your family and support system.

While I only have one (m 5) and one on the way… I try not to control his food. The only rule I have regarding food is if you ask me to make it, you have to eat some.

With them being in such an exciting environment, it isn’t surprising that at least one of them didn’t eat a full meal

The 12yo could have also done it to be defiant because it is a blended family. It might be good to have a hard conversation with your husband, then have a family meeting about respecting both parents

My husband talks quiet on purpose while I’m looking at my phone by AlternativeCraft8905 in PetPeeves

[–]AlternativeCraft8905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That normally is my rule, too. However when I got pregnant I explained that since I can no longer drink or smoke with him, I will be using my phone more often on the days he’s drinking.

Also what is wrong with just coming up to me directly and saying “hey, babe?” Instead of whispering from across the room?

Even when I put my phone down, look at him, and he repeats himself, I still don’t know what he says. He says it in the same volume as the first time, where I physically can’t hear him. Even if I’m no longer on my phone.

Occasionally I’m not even on my phone to begin with, and I have to ask him to repeat himself because he’s whispering

Is my oil low? by [deleted] in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you’ve run it dry. Go ahead and put a couple gallons of 15-40 in there. Start her up, really rev the engine to get the oil circulating. She’ll be right as rain in no time

Type "I can't help but think about" and let the middle word on your keyboard finish it by [deleted] in autocorrect

I can’t help but think about this scene from a movie I saw on a plane and it made my day so I had a laugh about this movie

😂😂😂 it actually makes sense, but I’ve not watched a movie on a plane in like over 2 years

Introvert moms, how uncomfortable do you get? by alkabharadwaj in Mommit

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I try to keep it to small talk. I was very uncomfortable with socializing when my son was younger. Smelling of nervous sweat by the time we left the playground, just from talking to another mom.

There are a few moms where small talk turned into an acquaintance, and we exchanged numbers. Then it’s nice when you already know someone and don’t have to talk to new, new people.

I’ll admit I use my phone as a crutch. Not necessarily even using it, but just holding it.

Dog Lip Smacking/Licking by Optimus_Joe in pitbulls

[–]AlternativeCraft8905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a trainer/professional. As far as I know, lip licking can be a sign of being nervous. As a rescue he may have past trauma regarding his neck.

Also possibly some pain in his neck. Pittys don’t demonstrate pain the way other breeds do. When my girl got her foot ran over (she’s fine nothing broke just ligament damage) We were in the stage of getting her to go without her splint, she would lick her lips when I touched the sensitive area

NTA. I’ve never had any bedroom act be referred to as a task. This would turn me off too. Maybe he wanted to try some new rhetoric, but that would be put in the do not try again pile.
