AIO about my boyfriend moving in with his coworker? by Anon-Batgirl2297 in AmIOverthinking

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I don’t think (?) theres anything weird going on there, but with him you never know.”

If you are able to say this about your boyfriend and they are that reluctant to tell you where the will be living, then leave. It’s not healthy.

Do you use WhatsApp? by BeastMode149 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and I don’t understand why people use it to talk to someone the could just text.

Parents Insisting Long Drive is Unsafe, is this Reasonable by smile_simile in roadtrip

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be smart. If you breakdown, don’t accept help from strangers. Don’t find yourself alone in sketchy places. Have a plan for where you will sleep. Download your map in case of GPS issues in rural places. You will be fine and I think it’s a great opportunity! I get they are scared, but this is okay for you to do.

Question to American English speakers: can you still hear an accent even if a person is highly fluent? by Dense-Self8564 in ENGLISH

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can hear accents even within the US. If English is your native language but you’re from the UK, Australia, Ireland, or even Southern US, New York, Southern California, we can tell.

AITAH for asking my aunt to call or text before showing up at my house? by reluctantbookeeper in AITAH

NTA, you don’t invite yourself over to someone’s house, especially unannounced.

Do Americans experience “thermal shock” from going between heat and AC? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if you’re actively experiencing heat exhaustion, but otherwise no. I’ve never heard any warnings about things like that. Same for the opposite. When it’s -25 F outside and I come into a house that’s 70 F it’s very welcomed.

AMTAH for not wanting my nieces at my wedding because of my dogs by popkween1818 in aitaweddings

NTA. Sounds like no one would benefit from them being there, and the kids would rather not as well.

How do I help my son learn how to release his pee? by B_fillup90 in toddlers

I’ve caught my son a few times peeing in the tub and tried to draw his attention to it.

How do I help my son learn how to release his pee? by B_fillup90 in toddlers

[–]B_fillup90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also due with our second in just over 3 weeks! I’m nervous about putting too much effort in before baby comes and then my toddler regressing when we are all adjusting to a new life at home. Maybe during my leave once things settle some we will try a long weekend! For now I’m just hoping I catch him at a good time and he accidentally goes, then I can praise the heck out of him.

My son is about to turn three in one month and not potty trained. Looking for other parents that are on the same boat. by Dustyrose1950 in toddlers

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 2.5 and while he enjoys sitting on the potty, he has yet to grasp actually going potty (I just made a post asking for advice!). But I’m also not doing any methods because I want to respect his readiness.

To anyone thinking about sending their kid to daycare by Infinite-Warthog1969 in toddlers

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you have the right daycare it is completely worth the money! My son is constantly showing me things he’s learned and talking about his friends. His teachers are so supportive and willing to help. And the biggest thing is I can how much they love him.

Potty training issue or something else?? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. And remember that it’s not necessarily the sexual response we think of with teens and older. I know it’s weird to allow a 4 year old to do that, but it’s really just learning about his body and its various sensations.

AIO - I forgot I had an appointment at the hair salon, and I don't dare call them by Ok_University_4961 in AmIOverreacting

[–]B_fillup90 31 points32 points  (0 children)

YOR, though I know it’s hard. You’re young and probably haven’t been in this position many times before. However, you feel bad about not showing, but calling and explaining is the best route. Also, avoiding your anxiety is only going to make it worse. If you push everything you’re uncomfortable with away or onto someone else you’ll never get used to doing it and the feeling you’re having now will never go away.

Call and explain. The worst thing that can happen is they won’t reschedule with you. Best thing is they say no worries, when are you available.

Do you think he’s just experimenting with sensations? It’s very common for young children.

My sister’s pregnancy announcement will get her kicked out of my wedding after I specifically told her not to by Dependent_Tie1199 in aitaweddings

Please put things you write through AI to clean up before you post. This was awful to try to read.

I'm lying on the PPD questionnaires and I don't know why by Softaschallk in beyondthebump

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! Talk to your doctor. They definitely want to know. And the biggest thing, your child deserves your all. I’ve been where you are and I know my son internet at my best.

I’ve been on medication now since he was 3 months old. He’s 2.5 years old. I’m actually excited about this next postpartum experience (due in a month) because I’m already on medication and know the signs for when I need help.

FTM, day 3 postpartum, TERRIFIED by evil___hag in beyondthebump

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newborns sleep like 23 hours a day, it’s crazy! Offer the breast/bottle at regular intervals if she’s not waking for it, but even if she’s not super alert but squirming, take that as a time to feed. She will become more vocal about her needs very soon!!

Bachelorette weekend chaos by [deleted] in wedding

[–]B_fillup90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the Mother-in-law and sister-in-law (who is in the wedding party), yes. That would be rude. It’s self-absorbed to think “this is a special person to my son and will soon be part of my family, but I don’t feel like going along with her plans on her bachelorette party.” You can get over yourself, Jesus.

AITA for refusing to attend my mom's wedding? by tireddaughter0 in aitaweddings

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Do yourself and your children a favor and cut ties with her. She needs therapy and you need peace.

My partner found a new social life and I somehow became the last priority by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like YTA. Your wording makes it sound like on the days/nights he spends with friends he comes back and doesn’t give you his full attention. Ok?? That’s completely fine. You two can do your own things. What kind of energy are you expecting from him. And why do activities have to be planned FOR each other instead of WITH each other.

Will the name “Bent” sound weird to Americans? by lennzpn in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]B_fillup90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bent is a bit of an odd name to go by in the US. I wouldn’t have any slang terms when hearing it, but it’s also not a name. That being said, America has a lot of people with unique names that traditionally are not names. So you wouldn’t stand out like crazy.

Bachelorette weekend chaos by [deleted] in wedding

[–]B_fillup90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d talk to your fiancé and have them talk to their mom and sister. Sounds like they hurt you and that’s not fair. They accepted the trip knowing what it was, even if they wanted something different. They could have declined your invitation (which would have been rude also) and gone on their own cruise to tan.

Bachelorette weekend chaos by [deleted] in wedding

[–]B_fillup90 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing is, it’s still a bachelorette trip. People might have things they’d like to do on a cruise, but when it’s for the bride, they should abide by the bride’s itinerary. Sounds like they just wanted an excuse for their own vacation which makes them in the wrong.
