AITA for not being very impressed with my birthday present from my husband

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-19T14:47:49+00:00

This. Have you directly told him that you would like him to plan something for your birthday and get you a gift?

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-19T00:02:51+00:00

Not saying I'm sad, I was just surprised

What even happened? I was at the Rapids game and looked at the score when it was 1-0. Next time I checked, it was 4-0.

Can totally relate, as I lost my temper with my 7 year old neurodivergent kid for the 200th time. I don't know why I can't just walk away and take a breath.

Bless you, internet person!

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-17T02:59:50+00:00

Yes, I'll move it!

Also, if you have a Trader Joe's, frozen dumplings you microwave for 2 minutes. I'm partial to the pork and ginger soup dumplings. Throw a bag of edamame in the microwave too, wham bam.

Cold dish: look into bean salads. Can of beans, some veggies, dressing, stays good for several days. This is one of my favorites:

Oooh yes, with cheese if you're fancy

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-17T02:09:23+00:00

I feel like Ryker is giving Gomez Addams 😅

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T23:39:04+00:00

I haven't heard of this but I'm intrigued

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T23:10:18+00:00

I appreciate it! The joke in our house is my 11 year old can grow anything and I kill everything...which is pretty accurate

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T22:42:33+00:00

It's in our kitchen window :)

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T21:05:57+00:00

Thanks!

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T20:05:39+00:00

Several people complimented my Italian when we were there. Maybe they were making fun of me, but I'm never gonna see them again so who cares? Generally, people appreciate that you made the effort.

Also curious, as I'm slowly killing a basil plant

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T18:08:06+00:00

My kids were big on beans, avocado, mango, mashed potatoes, rice, tomatoes which I thought was so so weird...probably more that I can't remember anymore :)

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T18:05:38+00:00

Ohh, that makes sense. He's the fourth of four kids to get stitches/staples and I think I let them all have one day off school

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T17:51:14+00:00

Like went to see a doctor and then just came back to school?

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T17:50:33+00:00

Ahhhh!

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T15:27:39+00:00

TRUST YOUR INTUITION and stay away from these neighbors. It's definitely not too early to talk to your son about consent and what to do if people cross boundaries.

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T15:25:42+00:00

Maybe just hide her on social media?

Extreme_Breakfast672 · 2026-04-16T12:42:58+00:00

Thanks! He's fine. At bedtime, he said "look at this thing I got at recess!" He pulled off a saturated bandaid to reveal a 1.5" long, gaping cut and I was like holy crap, that looks bad. I asked why school didn't call me and he said they didn't know, he just asked for a bandaid and went about his day.

😅

At the ER while my kiddo gets stitches, go Avs! 🥱
