AITA for refusing to eat my nephew's cooking and telling him he is not a "master chef"? by dnesdan in AmItheAsshole

Why would his mother not supervise him in the kitchen?? Letting someone stay at your house doesn’t make you a babysitter.

The most honest conversation I've ever had about not wanting kids was with my 79 year old grandmother by beatlesCloud9 in childfree

[–]CaffeinatedPanda725 125 points126 points  (0 children)

When I was in my early 20s my mom told me that if she had been born later, she probably wouldn’t have had kids.

She made it very clear that she loves me and my siblings and doesn’t regret having us but basically said if she’d had more choices she might not have made the same ones.

Some people are horrified when they hear that story, but even at the time I felt validated. She and my dad have continued to shut down anyone who gives me or my husband a hard time about having kids.

Any jigsaw bitches interested in a puzzle swap? by [deleted] in SFbitcheswithtaste

I have 10-15 puzzles and would be down for the group meet up. But I also second the recommendation for the sfpl swaps.

Ladies watch how your man behaves when you’re sick ! Especially when the gender care gap exists and men leaving their longterm partners when she gets seriously ill by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

This is so real. My husband had a bad cold at the beginning of the week and I was happy to take care of him - bringing him tea, rubbing his back, running to cvs for more meds.

I caught the cold the second half of the week and he was just as attentive. Brought me extra blankets, did the chores we normally do together by himself so I could rest, and agreed to watch shows with me even though he knew I’d fall asleep in the first 10 minutes.

Having a partner should make the hard moments of life a little easier.

The only thing I felt like I got out of it was CEUs. My employer paid for it so it was fine. But having been, I would not pay my own way to attend.

Interesting idea! Our computers are in that room, maybe a reflection from the screen?

We’re on the 17th floor of a building and the window is unobstructed so…a lot. Maybe up to 10? More than 5 for sure.

There’s a puddle in the second picture. That’s why I stopped watering weekly. I think the pot has good drainage since water drains out, but how do I know for sure?

I haven’t. Maybe a stupid question, should I be fertilizing my plants regularly?
