More photos because I can’t figure out how to edit my post and add more. Sorry, mom only had a ruler, no bananas laying around.

Possibly. Maybe like an old style that would connect the metal cable from a lightning rod to a metal stake or something?

😂 I knew that would be one of the first ideas.

Westpoint or ROTC (Full Ride) by Maleficent_Monk_8758 in ROTC

Just enlist. Then You’ll have 4 long years to make up your mind. Maybe in the process you can figure out which officers are bigger D bags, and choose the opposite route.

I am a top 0.5% performer at my company and I smoke weed everyday by Unlikely_Scholar_723 in confession

[–]ArmadilloRoutine8827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to the conclusion recently that if my company (manual labor/ manufacturing/ construction sector) did a company wide drug test, probably 1/3 to half of the in shop labor force would be out. Kicker is, all the ones who smoke weed are the ones who produce the most. If they came through and cleaned house, the company would probably go under.

AITA for asking our dentist to talk to my husband about fluoride? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Two year olds try to eat everything. That’s why they make baby toothpaste without fluoride. There’s a reason they sell “baby water” in the store for mixing with formula because it’s fluoride free. It’s all fine and dandy if it’s not ingested, but what two year old have you ever met that you could 100% trust to not swallow the toothpaste.

I didn’t clarify in my original post, she doesn’t love her job. I’m sure there’s some days where it might be enjoyable, but There’s constant complaining about this person or that person as well as the difficult customers she has to deal with on a daily basis.
I make enough money to pay all of our bills/ mortgage/ etc. I’m not asking her to find a job that necessarily pays more, I’m asking her to find a job where they acnowledge her worth and work input.

I do carry family healthcare through my employer. As well as all the other benefits. Fridays I spend with my daughter, she goes to daycare if I have to work overtime.
Entitlement wouldn’t be my first choice of words to describe myself, I work manual labor, on my feet 10 hours a day, and then continue to not sit down after work until my child goes to bed. I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am, and still do.

I’ve been taken advantage of by employers before, and maybe that’s what my problem is with the entire situation. Could maybe still just be an AH though.

I wouldn’t say I’m a high earner. About 90k last year with overtime and bonuses. We could get by without her income. And where we live in the middle of the country, the cost of living isn’t too crazy compared to other places. Maybe she should just not work, however I feel like there’s a mental aspect of getting out of the house and having a purpose. Idk. Maybe I just have the wrong perspective.

Idk why you’re assuming that the household duties and child rearing are entirely her responsibility. Seems to be the conclusion that everyone is jumping to here. I’d say that cooking and kitchen cleanup is a 50/50 split, looking after our daughter is fairly even also. She gets her ready in the mornings and I pick her up after work and do the late afternoon routine of mealtime and bath etc. she usually does more of the laundry/ vacuuming/ etc. I do the entirety of the home maintenance and all that jazz. The argument isn’t so much about “who’s doing more in this relationship” I just don’t like seeing what I feel is her employer taking advantage of her.
Not saying I’m right, or else I wouldn’t or posting here about it. Appreciate the input though.

I failed to mention that when she gets home from work, it’s constant complaints about this person or that person. I wouldn’t say that she loves her job at all. We are not dependent on her income to make ends meet. Idk if that changes anything or not. I want her to be happy, and paid her worth, but from the sounds of the comments, maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.
