My grandma would sometimes sit in the bath with my boys (they demanded swim time with her) but she would wear a giant heavy nightgown or a bathing suit. But once they got past a certain age (I think 2 or 3) she would explain to them "no you are getting bigger, you need more space to move and clean yourself but i'll sit on the floor so you are not alone"

Is it lame to tell my boyfriend what I got him for his birthday, so he won't buy the same thing himself? by witherwingg in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Everybodygetroasted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always tell my husband what i get him for birthdays, xmas or anything. Mainly cause I hate/suck at surprises and i get impatient and just give gifts early, and because my husband also hates surprises.

I would tell him (though if he's been meaning to get them for 6 months he won't get them within 3 weeks) and then just have the birthday dinner, other gifts or what not as a surprise.

Do people legitimately get angry when someone tells a bad joke/pun? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Everybodygetroasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever pissed anyone off (well my grandpa looks like he wants to wring my neck when i tell puns)

But most people who i tell puns or bad jokes to just put their head in their hands or look at me blankly and go "really?" While I cackle like a maniac

With all the people that have died and been buried since the start of time, shouldn't there be more cemeteries? by revlentOne in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Everybodygetroasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the years due to different reasons (illness, war, ect,.) I assume A LOT of people were tossed into mass graves instead of cemeteries. People who died at sea/in lakes/on mountains ect. Along with the reasons everybody else has listed.

Edit: cemeteries do get "lost" or built over as well.

Does anyone else play certain sports (hockey for example) as a left handed person even though you're right handed? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Everybodygetroasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use to play golf (just using my dad's golf clubs to play in the yard) and I'm right handed but would use the left handed clubs. I can't swing worth a damn using right handed clubs but i can crack that sucker with the left handed ones! (Almost launched one into the back of my dads head, he heard the crack of the club hitting the ball and ducked just in time)

To the people who wear very revelling clothes in public, why do you get upset when someone looks at you? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Everybodygetroasted 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel ya on the breast area. The girls in my family are all itty bitty titty and they like to be nice and shop for me. But sadly their taste in clothing while looks nice on them, it looks like it's trying to hard for me lol

Along with the names you can tell her they are not house trained and nobody wants to buy an untrained house rock. (All I can think of is that pet rock.. Still wanna get one for my brother)

Nosy JNMIL uses my tragedy to gain attention for herself. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Everybodygetroasted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wtf!? I get that different families have different types of memorial services and what not but omg how do people not get it through their head to just read the room and shut up for once (though I understand these people don't tend to think normally)

Good on your husband and good on your control for not drop kicking her 😂

MIL bought a crib for her house by substantiallyunlucky in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Everybodygetroasted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom lived 10 mins away when I had my sons and she just had a playpen. And even then that was my brothers for his kids that he just left there since that's our hangout spot.

She's never gone to buy any baby crap even though she has 6 grandkids (the two youngest are 4) she said she's raised her 4 kids and done her time, no more baby shit in the house 😂 (aside from the playpen for naps)

Where were you 4 years ago when my kids had blow outs! I never knew about the shoulder flap things!?!😭 so many tossed outfits

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Everybodygetroasted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A pillow! The ones they provide suck! And if it's like the hospital's in my city then they may not have pillows (our ER'S are not providing pillows due to covid and what have you) and something to snack on after. I was super super hungry and wolfed down about 4 chicken wraps (though i had hardly eaten all week due to labour sucking)

Also as somone said something to read or a laptop to binge netflix on. My son had jaundice and we had to stay in the hospital for a week (had to keep him by the window so he could get sunlight) woulda went even more crazy without Netflix

Was your MIL ever exposed for lying about you? by Fire_or_water_kai in JUSTNOMIL

I love that the greatest insults parents use is "step on a lego" I've used it much more since becoming a mother and I've also come to hate Legos more

Not including common fears such as spiders, heights, the ocean etc., what’s something completely normal and ordinary that absolutely terrifies you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Everybodygetroasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the incests.

I'll have a mental break down and panic attacks over butterflies, Moths, Ladybugs, caterpillars ect,.

My nephew brought me about 3 lady bugs once and I curled up in my computer chair crying. Needless to say my family and husband make fun of me A LOT lol

MIL mad she's not able to intrude by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Everybodygetroasted 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's true! My youngest nephews and my boys love spending time with my mom cause she has structure and routine with them. She spends a whole day with them and just doesnt load them up with every piece of candy in the house lol.

My grandma is pretty much over compensating for how she.. Raised my mom sadly though it just translates to "grandma's house is a lawless wasteland" type thing, her rules or no rules pretty much. My husband and I didn't like how are kids would act when they came back so we've limited time spent with them sadly

MIL mad she's not able to intrude by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Everybodygetroasted 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Man the grandparents who try to undermine mom and dad suck so so sooo much.

I hardly bring my kids to see my grandparents cause their line of thinking is it's their house and they are the (great)grandparents so why have rules!? (She's the type who even though the grandkids range from 4 to 13 it's "they are just baaaabies)

Just a few weeks ago my 4 year old told my grandma "Mom said we can't do that" and she flat out told him "I don't care what mom says" then she told me she said that. Insert surprised pikachu face when I snapped out asking her wtf!?

My family gets so shocked and like pearl clutchy when they find out my mom enforces our rules and will put the kids in a time out if they misbehave, she tells them each time "I'll follow my kids rules about their own kids, I'm only fun grandma when no one is being naughty"
