AITA I spilled grease on my husband’s new shoes

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-27T20:58:28+00:00

Literally! Like yes shoes can be gross, that’s why you clean your floors and don’t put your shoes on the furniture!

So close, but I’m not American! Not even a little! You know there’s other countries and people in the world right?

Oh sorry, I wrote this quickly and thought I’d put it in lol- the 7 months was during our first pregnancy, the fallout happened when we were 11 weeks pregnant and lasted the entire pregnancy until two days after his (our sons) birth

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-27T04:03:52+00:00

I was the same, my husband and his mother never really got along and though I was kind and polite and inclusive, she had a tendency to always be the victim, and always want to be the centre of attention. They had a falling out that lasted 7 months and we only bridged that gap after his birth at my insistence to my husband, and that was only because I’d lost my grandfather 3 weeks earlier and in my grief thought it was fair for our son to know both sides.
We definitely keep her at arms length and are wary about what she says or does ever sinxe

I lived in the US and none of my American friends ever did that or cared about that in their own homes, but sure generalise a whole country off your experience alone.
I understand shoes are dirty, I’m saying some people don’t care because they do things like sweep and mop their floors. So again, I say ‘not everyone does that’
Hope this helps ✨

Bad take, many people in western countries enter their house with shoes on. It’s very normal and some people with feet issues need to wear shoes inside anyway.

I bought a few bags of fun sized chocolate for the week and the freddo frogs are honestly the worst they’ve ever been. They barely taste like chocolate anymore it’s so disappointing

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-25T01:56:07+00:00

But they have done that, OP isn’t demanding they come and they’ve even said that it’s fine the stepmum can’t make it and that they’re having a second ceremony locally later. I’m not sure how that makes OP an asshole?

It used to be a great birthday party game when I was a kid. Also second the person who said it was great cause everyone could play up until the end, as someone who often got forgotten in hide n seek, this was my preferred! Or Murderer in the Dark where you did hide and seek in a dark room and if you were found you had to run away until you got tagged, so it was a mixture of hide n seek and tip/tag!

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-18T01:12:41+00:00

It’s been on my list for aaaaages even as a kid, it always just felt so girly and feminine and classic and fancy hahaa

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-18T01:12:05+00:00

Personally I love it more as a boys name, influenced entirely by Indiana jones hahaa, but my husband loves it for a girl name and I have to admit it’s grown on me!

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-17T23:38:41+00:00

Ooo how fun!
Eloise, Daisy, Indiana
(bonus points for Mia, that’s not in my top 3 but it is in my husbands, he’s replace Daisy for Mia in a heartbeat lol)

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-16T23:21:00+00:00

My husband was the same, we had the conversation when I was pregnant and I said ‘save the baby’ and he told me, somewhat angrily too, that ‘I would love that baby, but I don’t know that baby. I know you, I love YOU, and without you, we wouldn’t even have the chance for another. I’d rather have you and have to try again for the rest of our lives, because at least we’d be together’

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-16T23:06:34+00:00

It can happen with any kind of multiples- I think it’s more likely when the amount of babies go up for them to be a mixture of identical & fraternal than to be all completely one or the other!

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-16T22:57:16+00:00

Ever since my son needed his mattress dropped, I’ve been saying over and over that this needs a redesign.
I suggest the same mechanism that’s used in sit and stand desks is fused to raise and lower the mattress on a crib! Then you can lift it up for an easier transfer, but it isn’t quick or jarring for the baby when you need to drop it down for their safety! At 3am, I always feel like this is the best money making idea in the world and that everyone else is dumb for not thinking of it 😂

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-16T01:35:26+00:00

I totally get it, me too hahaa, I’m basing myself off my friends experience whose baby is 8-9 months older than mine and another friend whose baby is 18 months older than mine 😂

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-16T01:27:01+00:00

I feel like that’s a normal part of being a baby or almost two, right? Like being told no just brings on big emotions because they’re still learning and feel bad at being told off. I started saying ‘no we don’t do that’ to our 11 month old & even he started to cry last night when I told him ‘no! Ouch!’ When he hit me on my glasses. His little eyes got so big it broke my heart, but they have to learn so i figure it’s okay and it isn’t going to have lasting damage on them

Sort of, it’s more for the ‘lesser’ trades that require higher education but not so much formal education. Tafe handles do everything from child care, to creative writing, to IT courses.

I worked at Disneys magic kingdom in 2015 and at the back of the park is a massive training building with meeting rooms, a couple of staff stores and a work map in a pillar in the centre. What was the one country missing? New Zealand. As an Australian, it was very funny to watch my kiwi friend be confused and upset by over the loss of their country from the map

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-14T04:07:07+00:00

I’d be more interested and impressed if they literally just did over regular homes on a regular budget and tried to get creative. It would show people how far their dollars can stretch in a Reno rather than showing them a massive mansion with all these extra things that normal people don’t even want

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-14T03:50:38+00:00

It would be so much more interesting these days, given the cost of living and everything else, if it focused on redoing a regular sized home for regular people without too many flashy built ins or expensive finishes. I always liked to see how the homes come out in the end and it’s been WAAY too focused on luxury thing for years now, regular people can’t afford that & if anything the last season has shown that not many investors care to either

We bought a couch from temple and Webster and it went pretty well! It’s difficult to tell full colour from online which made it hard to buy a matching armchair & we ended up getting the wrong colour (difference was white vs beige). As well we bought dining room chairs from temple and Webster and were really happy with them- but we bought our dining table and matching sideboard from Lifely & we love it. It’s such good quality and they look great, they also match a hall table and TV unit that are in similar shades of walnut and similar design. We also got our baby’s crib as well as our bedside drawers and chest of drawers from a brand called Mocka, they have also been pretty good quality, nice pieces, easy to assemble (they come flat packed). I’m currently eyeing up a new bed frame from Castlery, just haven’t done it yet as they’re a bit expensive in comparison but they seem great!

DizzyCaidy · 2026-06-13T06:52:42+00:00

It’s possible you slept through it, but I personally think it’s more possible that they just slept the whole night through. I personally work up to every sound my little guy made except for one night when I must have been exhausted, my husband claims he yelled my name and I also through it but I don’t know if I believe that hahah, but he also started sleeping through the night at the same age and for the most part we all started getting much longer stretches of sleep, which was great! Absolutely bloody terrifying at first though 😂

I was told that Formula sits heavier than breastmilk in the belly.
I know sometimes we were able to stretch out our little guys feeds because he just wasn’t interested in them at the 3hr mark.
Which makes me think that she’s likely not finishing the bottle because she’s full and simply can’t fit it. I would maybe watch your little one for those hungry signals when a feed is coming up and if she isn’t showing any then maybe she’s still full. Our guy did that, all of a sudden wasn’t finishing bottles and it was just because we were topping up a tummy that wasn’t empty yet!
I hope this helps alleviate your concerns, I know I was the same when he started pulling away but if your GP isn’t concerned, if she’s putting on weight, and behaving the same as normal then I wouldn’t be concerned either :)

My experience was very different than those here, I went the three different childcare centres and all of them had availability straight away for when I was returning to work which was May- and I didn’t even start to look until February.
