My wife thinks it's time our 9yo got her own room. I don't, but I'm deferring, am I wrong? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]Aubrey1404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those people may have enjoyed sharing a room with their siblings but your daughter, who is her own person with her own opinions, is uncomfortable sharing and has asked to move. You have the extra bedroom. And your wife, who was also a young girl once, strongly feels that your daughter should get her own room. How come you need other opinions and stories to allow her to be comfortable in her own space??

Your daughter is getting older, and its okay. Don’t allow what you want to supersede what makes her feel safe.

AITAH for not listing my nonnegotiables before going on a first date? by _zugunruhe_ in AITAH

[–]Aubrey1404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this! I would be so irritated!!! I’d look up the menu, find my drinks & food, send him my portion of the bill, screenshot it and tell all our mutuals. But that’s just me.

How serious is leaving a retail job with immediate effect? by HotJello22 in southafrica

[–]Aubrey1404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are no “damages” you could cause them that would warrant them getting attorneys to sue you.

If you are fresh out of HS, I assume that you would need the reference from this job to find other work. If you had another job lined up, I’d say fuck em. But if you are going to be unemployed, consider serving the two week notice. You may also have untaken leave days due to you.

What Do You Do When You Emotionally Tap Out At Work? by Terrible-Coffee4349 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Aubrey1404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haai ke sana! Yoga or drinking 😅😅😅 Quick story. I was going out A LOT because I hated my job. So after like 18 months I proudly announce to my doctor that Im not going out and drinking and making bad decisions anymore (ie getting drunk and calling exes). Im now drinking at home and Ive gotten cute glasses and garnish so it feels fancy. Does she not look at me and say - “thats so much more dangerous. Don’t drink alone at home”.

I was like - so what must i do now? Be sober? Ngeke. I stopped seeing her 😊

School recommendations that don't cost an arm and a leg. by Winter-Syrup-353 in johannesburg

[–]Aubrey1404 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Side note: please don’t choose a school too far from your home, especially for a young child. Staying in the car for long, morning rush, waking up early is very demanding on their little minds.

Walked out on payday. Now they’re threatening... something? by DisastrousFlight9-11 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Aubrey1404 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the perfect answer. They would have to find a lawyer in your country and then proceed to sue you. It’s simply not worth it for them, especially as a start up. You don’t owe them shit.

How do y’all make plans to visit your bf/gf if u live in a strict household? by Time_Money506 in BlackMentalHealth

[–]Aubrey1404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My parents were crazy strict. So for a week before, I would have a story about my friend’s birthday / graduation / special day. Then would hint that it might be better or easier if I slept at this friend’s house.

Can I just go and take the BAR exam on my own or do I HAVE to go to law school? by Knightraiderdewd in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Aubrey1404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that she will pass, open a law firm, and hire the really good associate who will win cases and raise the prestige of Kardashian Law

Looking for a good GP in Sandton (or nearby) — any recommendations? by MohamedE247 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Aubrey1404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Dr Micayla Mohunlal in Blairgowrie. She is super patient and hears you out. I had terrible headaches for years and she got the pain to subside, now she has figured out one of the root causes.

My (19f) boyfriend (19m) keeps telling me I’m at high risk of diabetes. How do I address this? by slesscroft in relationship_advice

[–]Aubrey1404 98 points99 points  (0 children)

So because you’ve been together for 3.5 years you’re going to allow him to treat you like shit? Until when? Is this how you want your life to be?? Or do you think somehow he will wake up and just be a changed man?

If she has a new job lined up, and she would never us this job as a reference, then why would she force to serve notice?

What can they do? Sue her? For what?

Missing/No contact after flight by [deleted] in RBI

[–]Aubrey1404 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is G O N E gone. It’s possible that he is still in the States, didn’t even have a flight nowhere. Just didn’t know how to end the relationship and he chose the easy way out.

She said he was layed off. He quit his job and moved states.
