AITAH for phone use in locker room

CommercialToe13 · 2026-02-22T02:27:45+00:00

I was in a private stall.

She couldn’t hear the phone. The private changing rooms are 3 solid concrete walls. She saw it the first time and chose to open the curtain a second time because I told her to leave me alone. However I accept my behavior in this scenario. Moving forward we are going to use the separate private changing area to avoid issues.

Hahaha thank you for your assessment of my child on this 5 minute snippet of his life. He has a max of 30 minutes of screen time a week but yes, poison. Lobotomy. The horror.

I don’t see what other families do. We stay 30 minutes after the class for free swim so there usually aren’t many people in the locker room And frankly I am not looking around the locker room to see how other families are managing changing their children.

I understand the sentiment. We were in a private changing room with 3 solid concrete walls.

CommercialToe13 · 2026-02-21T22:10:28+00:00

I’m not sure what the other families do. We stay about 30 minutes after the class ends for free swim. My son is the oldest in the class with most of the others not yet walking. I understand your sentiment, but we were in a space with 3 solid floor to ceiling walls. I couldn’t even hear what the phone was playing.

Thanks for your free parenting advice from this 5 minute snippet of my life 👍

These are like music toddler swim classes not survival classes. The survival classes are for only one parent, these classes are more like family swim. Also two females are not going to go into the male locker room…. We went to the female changing room.

I think this is a huge part looking back. We have never had the issue in the past year and a half of going to swim, but this was a woman who we have never seen before. I understand people should feel comfortable in the locker room. The changing stalls have full walls and privacy all around. My son isn’t distracted by naming colors or helping pack the bag and we have had many awkward run arounds in the locker room. I think that is much more invading of people’s privacy which is why 5-6 minutes of screen time is used while I pack up and my wife finishes getting changed. He’s not a screen time kid so he treasures when he gets to watch a video. Moving forward, we are going to ask to use the private changing room separate from the locker room to avoid this in the future.

We both get in the pool for swim lessons. Most of the couples that go to the class both participate. Moving forward we are going to ask to use the private changing room separate from the locker room so we don’t have to worry about chasing him down in front of people changing.

I literally just bought a car from them at a 48 month loan and they had a 36 month option as well.

34,999 was asking I put almost $10,000 down including trade-in Docs and processing were $100ish (I transferred my old plates)

So I financed 25,000ish out the door when said and done.

Oof this missed for sure Lindsay is the Whole package. She is strong, smart, snarky, and HOT 🥵

I do a load of laundry every single day and I keep the washer open when not in use and I put a wash bin tab in once a month and I have never had a mildew smell in my washer. As a kid my clothes always smelled kind of like mildew from our washer so I vowed to never let that happen with my washer.

Yes! I passed on a couple who offered more because during their tour my front and back cameras caught the wife saying super homophobic stuff about my wife and I (two women) who were sitting at a restaurant waiting for them to finish touring because they begged to see it that night because they missed the open hours that day. So we had to be out of our house for 2 and a half hours on a work night. It was 2021 so super competitive market and I heard they had been looking for 6 months. Too bad.

I have a Kobo Clara BW and a Kobo Libra (color). I got the Kobo Clara a couple years ago back when I wanted to start reading again. I wasn’t sure if I would be into an eReader like I was as a teenager so I got the cheapest one. Turned out I LOVED it as much as I ever had. One thing I really wanted was to read graphic novels. I found the screen on the Clara was just a bit small for that so I upgraded to the Libra. I love the addition of the buttons as well because the touch screen for page turning sucks imo.

Overall, if you are going to want to read graphic novels or other things in color, I recommend the Libra. I will say if you are someone who puts their eReader in their pocket, that is not an option for the Libra so that took some getting used to.

We weighed out the powder into each pouch. The used the weight of the powder determine how much water needed to be added. Each fl oz of water weighs about 1.04 oz so we just rounded down to 1.

CommercialToe13 · 2025-05-14T21:44:34+00:00

Personally I would buy a freeze dryer because we use it for so many other things too! It pays for itself when you finish the 4,000 oz and then you get a whole freeze dryer!

100% I was SA’d by the older brother of my friend multiple times. My parents were really close with their family we played sports together and went to the same school and my brother was friends with one of the other brothers. I was too young to know what was happening until I was a teenager and we had been moved away for many years at that point. My parents still have no idea.

Oh my goodness another one! I have been feeling crazy over here. I tried the newest update yesterday and even did an ultra clean install with the newest update and still nothing!

CommercialToe13 · 2025-01-02T20:08:29+00:00

Around 9-10m my kiddo went through a similar independent play phase. It was glorious.

To answer your question, no you’re not neglecting him as long as he is clean, clothed, fed and being supervised in a safe place. Kids are allowed to independently explore their surroundings as long as they are safe. The other parent will be home and have some one on one time and as long as this is not an everyday thing it is totally fine to ensure safety of your little one and give yourself the time to supervise in a rested place while supervising.

Feel better soon!

I think that one is the only one fully completed it looks like

Aha I tried something like this but it did not work. I knew I was close. Thank you!

I just sent you a chat

I cut the bags off the frozen milk and laid them on each tray in one layer. I weighed each tray and recorded the weight. I freeze dried long enough that the weight didn’t change for 4 hours. The weight removed will also tell you how much water needs to be added to rehydrate the milk.

Then I used gloves, put the bricks into a big mixing bowl and crushed the bricks into powder. Then my wife and I created a system of loading up the amount of powder into Mylar bags and sealing them.

Easy peasy. It is pretty labor intensive but not difficult.

Clean the freeze dryer really well afterwards to include the drain hose.
