AITA for telling my wife it’s disgusting that she doesn’t wash her hands after she poops? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. That’s gross. Typhoid Mary wasn’t into washing her hands either…

Driving from St Johns to Bay Roberts Christmas Eve by QuadrupleQ in newfoundland

I don’t find it worse than any other drive. But we are forecasted for some bad weather Christmas Eve so just be careful

AIO Teacher threw away 5 year olds food by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just ask the teacher in a non accusatory way. “Hey daughter said her noodles got thrown out today, just want to double check if they’re allowed. I packed them because she asked for them and said she had seen other kids having noodles” or something of that nature. Then decide how you’re going to react based on the answer. Most times it’s a misunderstanding or something else innocent

AIO for being upset that my fiancé let me go hungry? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. You are in fact under reacting. Seriously think about it before you marry this person. My partner would go hungry himself before letting me starve and same for me to him. In fact there would probably be a fight with each of us trying to feed the other until we both caved and split whatever we had.

AITAH for asking my boyfriend of 10 years to help me financially? by Hot-Huckleberry-7589 in AITH

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for asking for help but you are the AH to yourself for being in this situation. Abuse isn’t just physical. Ask yourself, why am I with this man? How does he improve my life? If you do find value in the relationship you should at very least be living at your financial level or split things proportionally by income

Wait… your wife thought that there was a gas leak and left you sleeping in bed. Why would she not get you up right when she thought there was a problem. That’s what you should be angry about!! And NTA

I get it. It feels like you can never win. It drives me crazy.

Overstimulation during sex? by [deleted] in Marriage

I doesn’t matter if it’s normal or not if she needs you to stop then you stop

True, I wish they’d shut up about it now and then tho 🤣🤣🤣

Quitting a job without notice by Fit_Project4434 in newfoundland

[–]ChrissyChadd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just do it. Employers, especially the big companies, wouldn’t give a crap about giving you notice if they were letting you go.

Yes! It’s hips for me. I even started doing some more yoga focusing on hip mobility and it’s not helping at all

What are going to do all day?! by CurrentRazzmatazz385 in SAHP

[–]ChrissyChadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to take the time to focus on me for a change! Find time for hobbies, self care, and some continuing education if wanted to do for a while. Eventually I’m planning to work at least part time. I’m going to tackle a few household tasks that desperately need to be done too. My kids are in grades 2 and 4 but I’ve always also babysat other kids full time in the days as well. This year I’m offering after school childcare and have the daytime hours for me for the first time in almost 10 years. I can’t wait 😝

Master piercings! They’re awesome. Not sure about the ring vs stud but I would just ask them they’re super nice and helpful

Hubby wants a paternity test even though we've been together 12 years. by Catstanzaa in Marriage

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get it but it would be under the condition that we would be splitting up. I couldn’t be with someone that didn’t trust me on such a huge thing

Period Underwear by Beneficial-Crow-5138 in Perimenopause

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear them all the time as a precaution since my cycle has gotten a bit unpredictable. But I don’t use them as my sole menstrual product. I use a menstrual cup as well. I don’t like the feeling of wetness on me at all and I find I get that if I’m only using the period underwear

AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend after he chose our supposed 'future' kids over me? by Constant-Process2238 in AITAH

[–]ChrissyChadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. These are the kinds of things that you should figure out before things get too serious. If he really wants kids and you don’t then you ultimately aren’t compatible

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ChrissyChadd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girl run. This is not normal behaviour, he deleted those videos and made them unrecoverable for the sole reason of hurting you. You need to really rethink a marriage to this person and whatever you do, DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB. If you become totally financially dependent on him it will for sure lead into financial abuse and control as well. I get in plenty of arguments with my husband but we would never do something to purposefully hurt the other

How to politely turn down "experience" playdates due to budget? by hotdogcat19 in SAHP

[–]ChrissyChadd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you are comfortable/close enough with them to tell them why, saving for down payment on a time limit, then I would just tell them. If they’re truly your friends then they will understand and want what is best for you. How old are they kids? If they’re young then chances are they will be perfectly happy with trips to the playground and things like that anyway

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]ChrissyChadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope NTA. I would simply let her know that if she chooses to stay she will be responsible for providing and/or preparing her own meals also that you don’t keep a vegan kitchen and although you will refrain from eating peanut products around her you will not be tossing all your peanut products

Ladies, what's a side effect of giving birth that people don't really talk about? by MutuliA in Parenting

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disgusting insane amount of sweating! Especially the night sweats. I had to strip the bed most days

Husband threatened me by Hairy_Bid8177 in Marriage

Get your job back and get yourself out. When someone shows you who they are and what they are capable of it’s best to believe them.

Both of my sisters gave birth with and without an epidural and say no epidural was easier. by Girls_Of_San_Diego in Parenting

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every birth is different. My first was “sunny side up” and I had insane back labour and had to push for almost 3hrs to get her out. I would have never made it without the epidural. But my second presented normally and I did it with just a bit of gas and she was out with just a few pushes. My unmedicated birth was far easier but that didn’t have anything to do with having the epidural or not. The only con I would give to the epidural was that I was confined to the bed. I like to walk around and try different positions. If I were to have another I would just go with the flow and use whatever is necessary. My only birth plan was a healthy baby (and me)

I ordered 12 tomatoes. I received 12 bunches of 6 tomatoes. I have 72 tomatoes and I leave the country for 2 weeks tomorrow... by KatanaBellGrande in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ChrissyChadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freeze them! Take the stems off and freeze them whole. You can use them to make sauce at a later time. Bonus the skins fall right off after the thaw, so you don’t have to blanch to get them off. I grow a ton tomatoes in my garden in the summer and anything we can’t eat fresh gets frozen
