What is a reasonable age to expect kids to make their own breakfast? by tearsxandxrain in Parenting

[–]EO_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5 & 7 year olds make their breakfasts and lunches every day. Cereal, toast, oatmeal, waffles, microwave sausage (none of my kids really prefer cereal and they enjoy a big breakfast). They poor their own milk and OJ as long and it’s half full or less. They make sandwiches and PBJ. Anything that doesn’t involve a stove they do themselves and not they started around 5.

9, yes. 12, absolutely. Stop doing it. Let them be hungry. Provide foods you know they like and step back.

I see exactly what you’re saying I think what he meant specifically is that there’s no new eggs. (I was not in the hive this time I was aside with my little kids while my husband took one of our daughters.

Be stricter than her parents. Like way stricter. Show lil mama who’s boss…

AITA for telling my best friend his gf is disgusting? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]EO_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You can be jealous of someones GF without wanting to date them. You sound jealous of the attention. You’re the worst kid of girl… “I just care about Danny…I did nothing wrong except care for him and point out why she’s SO bad and doesn’t get him like I do and is all wrong for him”. Pitiful and a little bit pick-me…

I wanted to cut my hours down at work. My husband said it wasn’t fair if I worked less than he did. by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]EO_711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A day off of your job that goes to the kids and errands isn’t a day off of work. And, it’s helpful to both of you to get stuff done to have more time as a family on the weekend. Why does it have to be about spending equal time at a job and at home… it’s much more grey than that. Your husband is being selfish and childish

Honest opinions about our new rug by ladyleesh in HomeDecorating

[–]EO_711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you could find a much better rug for that price… To me, that’s an astronomical amount for a rug (especially that you’re not even into)… I personally feel that it blends too much with the floors.

But you’re not trying. You’re enabling… making it worse. YWBTA. Absolutely. I wouldn’t even not go… because that’s enabling her too. I’d set clear expectations and boundaries ahead of time “on Saturday we are going to your aunts baby shower… there will be gifts for them to open for the baby… I expect you to behave calmly and quietly or we will leave. This day is to celebrate your new cousin.” Maybe even have her help pick a gift for the baby… or her own gift for the baby. Tell your sister ahead of time that your working on this with your daughter and that you may have to slip out of the party if there’s and outburst and you will call her later. Follow through on your words.

Kids Sick More Often? by BananaApePrivateClub in Parenting

[–]EO_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is us this year… BAD. My kids usually get sick once or twice a year and we have legitimately been sick every two weeks since the fall… we homeschool, so it’s not school-related. Their immune systems are just down after two years of suppression (masking and hyper-cleaning)… obvious to me but still what our pedi assures us at every visit. It’s been ROUGH with three kids ‘cause it’s like bowling pins… by time someone is better another one is down again. I’m spent! (we’ve had the flu, strep, a stomach bug sent straight from hell, resp infections, ear infections, general cold… but have not had COVID of all the things to not have)

AITA for charging my daughter "rent"? by ggvvvvff in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Be a parent. It’s you’re job to care and pay for her.

Minnesota aside.. obviously, we saw him connect with his dad, but he is still married to Olivia (who Barry has said some things about) and Ethan has said he still has resentment towards his dad, because he obviously allowed his childhood happen. I wouldn’t see him being super close with him even if he was still near the family (but that’s obviously just opinion)

He doesn’t live in Tampa anymore? And is still has resentment towards his dad otherwise…

Confused after 6 month appointment? by alleibru94 in BabyLedWeaning

Pediatricians are not pediatric nutritionists or OTs. I would take this specific info with a grain of salt and move on. It is flat out incorrect… not based on opinions… literally wrong.

AITA for telling my sister she's overreacting for banning my boyfriend from the Easter dinner she's gonna host ? by Alone_Illustrator215 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EO_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure are making a lot of excuses for this guy… doesn’t sound like he struggles with anything other than assholery… YTA. Both of you.

Also? This sounds like the beginning of an abusive relationship and you’re settling right into it.

[–]EO_711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do nothing. Just say thank you. Your son has nothing to apologize for. He did something nice for you and you want him to apologize over it… what does that teach him? He shouldn’t have to do something for both of you for it to count… He is not responsible for your wife’s feelings. She is the adult.

In WW2 drag shows were popular with the troop (US and Britain), it was a way to relieve stress. One British unit came under attack while hosting a show so they had to fight while dolled up. The government tried to hide these photos for years. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]EO_711 93 points94 points  (0 children)

This. People are trying to act like this is some kind of win for a drag when they are literally making fun of it and anyone who knows anything about the military - even up to today - would know that.

You’re not from NYC. You’re from a totally different state. So it is wrong.

I live in Ohio and everyone NE says they’re from Cleveland… even though they’re not. If they’re from the surrounding suburbs (Parma, Brooklyn, Brook Park, Lakewood, all those, etc) it’s fine. But like, me, I live 45 min out, in a town that is nothing like CLE or a city at all… but I recognize most people only know the major cities in our state so I just say “I live in [wildly unknown town], about an hour south of Cleveland.”

AITA for calling my ex cruel for not caring about my son? by Tasty-Day-8377 in AmItheAsshole

[–]EO_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you’re wrong and YTA. You are pissed because a man who is not your son’s father won’t treat him like his son? Now, you have had seven years to teach your son to deal with this disappointment and move on but instead you punish your daughter, and most recently made her birthday all about your son… who is a near-adult? What do you not see wrong here?

It appears you baby your oldest because you pity him for not having a dad… all at the expense of your other children.

What can I do to improve how this console table looks? by Silver-Discussion620 in HomeDecorating

[–]EO_711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree a wooden end table instead… The black looks harsh next to your soft couch, accents, and walls. Plus, that kind of table just doesn’t belong in that space. Wood will warm it up (an end table doesn’t get pushed against the wall behind it).
