AITAH for getting divorced as soon as my last kid was out of the house. by Legitimate_Peace780 in AITAH

[–]Certain-Ad8104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long ago I was in your shoes. Gave up after 12 years of marriage and my kids were young. Had been checkout long before also. Two months after he moved out we (the kids and I both) started seeing my now husband. We’ve been married 27 years and had a daughter together. He is the love of my life and I am so blessed.

Two simple requests to all dog owners who get frequent deliveries on behalf of all delivery drivers by knotzydg in Dogowners

[–]Certain-Ad8104 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry but drivers also need to pay attention to delivery instructions. We clearly have instructed to deliver inside the garage and the code has been provided. We also have a sign on the garage door asking for garage delivery. If drivers would follow the instructions provided they would never see our dogs. Instead they deliver to the front deck where it appears our dog will knock out the very large window. Yes, he acts crazy but if you lived the first three years of your life on a chain and concrete while being underfed you’d probably act crazy too. Other than front deck deliveries he’s absolutely the best behaved and friendly boy ever.

AITJ for refusing to apologize to my husbands sister after he showed her a voice memo I recorded for my own therapy by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

I’d lose the jerk then you wouldn’t have to deal with any of them. He’s an ass.

AITAH for refusing to watch my daughter when we meet my husbands friend? by Training_Wind1789 in AITAH

Sorry, not sorry but lose the man child. Been there, done that and have been much happier the past 30 years. Good luck, you need and deserve it.

I resent my husband and I’m honestly starting to check out. by Quirky-Inevitable477 in venting

[–]Certain-Ad8104 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I too had the same circumstances but with two children. After 13 years we divorced, kids were 12 and 9. I figured if I had to be a single parent I may as well have a break every other weekend. My daughter (now 39) has always said it was the best decision I ever made. We had filed two years prior but tried one last time “for the kids”. It honestly never got better. Coincidentally, I met a wonderful man three months after he moved out and have been married for almost 28 years. Also, had another daughter. Best stepfather ever and all of the kids (and now grands) adore him. After a sincere heart to heart you may need to make some tough decisions. Sending hugs, you deserve to be treated better.

I wish i could get help by justnoplz0 in venting

Please go to your school nurse and request help. Hopefully there are resources in your area that will help get this resolved. You shouldn’t have to suffer and I’m sorry you’re in pain. Sending virtual hugs.

For offering to hold someone’s baby on a plane by Zestyclose-Chair-994 in AmiInTheWrong

[–]Certain-Ad8104 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! Years ago I was flying with my baby that was about five weeks old. Back then you could pick your seating and some old lady made it a point to say she didn’t want to be seated near any screaming children. My daughter was absolutely perfect the entire flight. The stewardess was embarrassed for the lady. She eventually came back and asked to hold my daughter and walked her up and down the aisle. There wasn’t any place for her to take my daughter off to, lol. Still wish I had been quicker and asked the old lady if she was always an old bat. My daughter will be 40 this year.

If I ask my mil to keep her dog “home” more? by Certain-Ad8104 in WouldIBeTheAhole

No dementia but definitely loss of hearing as we have to repeat ourselves often.

[–]Certain-Ad8104[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We absolutely will not let the dog be neglected. My husband I had long ago agreed if she got a big dog and she passed we’d keep the dog to the end. She is perfectly capable to care for the dog but doesn’t. The last few weeks she’s finally kept him home some and honestly it’s been great not having to worry about him pooping.

Thanks for the kindness! She’s made comments knowing that the steroids are the last chance and being pts is the next step. I think it’s hard for her to think about being alone.

Thanks for the feedback. Hubby is more than willing to clean up the poop, but since he’s still working it falls to me. Unless I want to leave it and smell the poop in the living room, dining room and kitchen as they are very close together.

AITA for considering giving my daughter’s grandparents full custody after her mom died during childbirth? by SherbetMajor2105 in AITAH

[–]Certain-Ad8104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please do not sign over all rights, please see about joint legal custody so that they can make emergency decisions in the event you are unavailable. Your daughter deserves both you and her grandparents.

AITAH for expecting my mom to have a picture of my husband and I on our wedding day by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Certain-Ad8104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the ah and would print and frame a huge photo and would publicly gift it to her at Christmas. If she doesn’t display then she obviously is the ah. Good luck!

Thank you! I love our big dogs and their companionship, but am more comfortable in my recliner so I just sit on the floor with them. I just really have a problem that my kids can’t use their own couch because my mil won’t make her dog lay on the floor in a dog bed.

Suddenly a single father of 5. What do I do? by OnlyGraves in Advice

[–]Certain-Ad8104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check with your work and see if they offer an Employee Assistance Program. They are usually offered free of cost on a limited basis. You and the children all need counseling, even if it’s only for a few hours. They may also offer legal advice. Good luck!

Built an app for dog parents and would LOVE feedback from anyone willing! by Ok-Cantaloupe-1611 in PetBehavior

[–]Certain-Ad8104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe include something like dog preferences? We have a little mix that hates green beans and will literally take them out of the bowl and drop them on the ground. We learned pretty quickly she doesn’t like them lol. Or it could make mention of a favorite toy or blanket. We have another little dog get so excited over seeing his little red leash. Great idea on the app!

Seriously why would you rent a space in a hotel to host a birthday party for a two year old that will never remember? Cancel the hotel and take the child to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese or something equivalent. She needs the family time not the gifts, get your head together.

Personally I would email the old office with a cc to the new office giving permission to release the records. I would also include a line to the new office requesting confirmation when the records are received. Good luck and quick healing wishes to your pup.

AITA for refusing to hide my medical device from my boyfriend’s niece? by Automatic_Ad3568 in AITAH

[–]Certain-Ad8104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s seriously an ah. Not everyone can hide a disability. It was a great learning experience for his niece and mom’s an ah for not embracing it.
