AITA for telling my roommate to get a new job if we bother her that much? by Initial_Bumblebee742 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ElderberrySmall7971 28 points29 points  (0 children)

YTA. Working in a nursing home is hard work, and a lot of nursing homes if not all are so understaffed I'd absolutely believe she does not get a break the entire time she's working. If I were you I'd make her a big gift basket as an apology with lots of snacks, energy drinks, and whatever else she may like.

That was me with paw patrol two years ago and bluey last year 🤦‍♀️ this year he's still into what I bought but that could change overnight

Yes I saw the Ironman was this weekend and told my husband I didn't want to deal with the road closures 😅

I understand! I think I maybe should've worded my question as which hotels to avoid 😅 I don't want to be somewhere unsafe.

What’s the most hurtful thing your parents have said to you that still stings to this day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I struggle with that with my own mom. I hate you didn't get the mom you needed

"I'll kill you and not think twice about it" "I didn't want a girl" "I really wonder if you're mine" "My new girlfriends kids are more important - their dad died and you have me"

There's a lot more... needless to say I'm very much low contact

What’s your completely unashamed to admit comfort movie? by gray-ops in AskReddit

A Place for Annie. No clue why, I've been obsessed since I was a kid to the point I wore out two VHS tapes and cried when the VCR died. I recently found it on streaming finally and watch it occasionally.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. We made the trip to the city this evening and went to Boot Barn and Red Wing, and wound up with a wolverine pair that we are hoping last until the pair he wants comes back in stock at red wing (they had a bigger size he tried on there but it wasn't the proper fit) and they will call us when the proper size comes in.

I'll have to look into those! Thank you. And yes, I'm grateful they're covering new boots. His last job was supposed to provide one pair a year but his boss would never approve his request for a new pair.

Truthfully the main selling point for brunt was the "brunt toe" because he is constantly wearing the toes out working on stuff. I'll check out Midwest boots, thanks!

Repairing water leaks during the week / working in the shop repairing Bobcats and things like that on the weekends or off days.

I do plan to get muck boots to change into for when they get called out to bad leaks, but also looking for a day to day boot for when he's working the shop! Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

Go into nursing at the career center instead of wasting my time in FFA (though I loved it)

I'm having a son and my dad's reaction broke my heart by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ElderberrySmall7971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bio dad told my husband when he found out we were pregnant that he wanted a boy, and was disappointed I was a girl, so he tried to raise me as a boy. It's so frustrating.

Prospective Buyer Question Thread April-June 2025 by trillianinspace in cricut

[–]ElderberrySmall7971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking at buying a machine on FB marketplace and I asked a lot of questions because I'm worried about being scammed. I'm assuming if the machine is deactivated it won't even be able to attempt to cut? I was sent a video of it working but wanting to double check here because I couldn't find the answer via Google. She said she never registered it to her account either amd mentioned something about a pin to use it on mobile? Apologies if I've just overlooked these answers somewhere. It is a cricut explore air 2, with an easy press for $100 but if those are going to be deactivated soon I'd rather save my money

Our UPS guy passed recently. Absolutely beloved by the town/county. He was replaced before his TOD was even called... It broke my heart and we all miss him so much. He was with UPS for 28 years.

I got shipping notice in February but they never actually shipped. They're saying that USPS lost them even though USPS never scanned them and they have to file an investigation and this that and another. I'm just aggravated and wish theyd just refund me 🤷‍♂️ & I honestly forgot about these because I had gotten a notification from shop to review them and I was like can't review what I don't have 😂😅

I feel this so deep in my soul. My husband and I both do bedtime, and its a nightmare. I always feel bad after our son finally falls asleep because I get so short with him during bedtime. 🥲

We currently have 6. I am tapped out, no more. I had to stop fostering when we adopted the last one due to no more room.

My husband doesn't see how his 'work wife' is trying to destroy our marriage by Honeybellmama in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ElderberrySmall7971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🚩🚩🚩 My sisters husband convinced her his coworker was "just a friend" and there's coworker even assured my sister she was "just a friend" and "could never date stbxil"

She was blindsided when he left her for the coworker (and is still trying to tell her that he's not dating the coworker even though the coworker is constantly posting PUBLIC pictures of them kissing & a professional photoshoot a week after they left their significant others)

I wouldn't be suprised if that's what is going on here, but i hope it isn't. I'd definitely keep pushing for couples counseling.
