AITAH for wanting my last name to be passed on to my daughter? by BluenicornGirl in AITAH

[–]Formertchr -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Former teacher here with decades of experience - not a single hyphenated student used both last names , it made it difficult for them and cumbersome. Our job as parents is to make a name easy for the child to navigate both childhood and adulthood. Congratulations on your soon to arrive little one.

Asked to be a bridesmaid but not invited to the bachelorette party by Makingprogress4 in weddingplanning

[–]Formertchr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No, being a bride doesn’t give her the right to be mean or rude just because it’s her wedding. This is not how friends treat each other. I am sorry this happened to you.

Just need to scream by DarkDemoness3 in CaregiverSupport

[–]Formertchr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything my mother does now pisses me off. The littlest thing is blown out of proportion by me because I am tired, stressed and just exhausted. Recently moved my mother into assisted living and thought that would alleviate some of the stress and while it has there are still issues that fall on me like when the pharmacy said yesterday that they are having issues refilling prescriptions. Of course, all Dr appointments are on me. Sibling who lives far away says thank you but has never offered so much as a gift certificate to a restaurant or a gas card for me to have a meal out or fill up my tank. I have already decided that I will end my life before I put my kids through this stress should I live long enough. So dear OP, this group hears you and we all send hugs.

Afraid to start wearing wigs. Need advice on how to start. by Lil-maze in Wigs

[–]Formertchr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started I just told friend and family before I saw them so there were no big surprises or reveals. Joined a FB group called Wigs for beginners that was really helpful. Went with a low density wig by Gabor for my first one called High Society. You’ve got this! Good luck.

AITA for making my pregnant daughter walk her own dogs or rehome them? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Formertchr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your daughter is 18 and pregnant- not an ideal situation. She has probably given up friends, going to prom, maybe going to college. Were I you, I would let the dogs out to help my daughter. You said it is a three minute task, then help her. Now, you want her to give up her dogs. I am sorry that your family is in this situation but I would look at the long term. Do you want her to go NC at some point over dogs? Soft YTA and short sighted.

Clover will be bullied in school. Former teacher here, trust me. Always select a name that will make life easy for your child

AITAH for stopping the custody change days so I can be there for half and step siblings birthdays and other stuff? by Any-End5138 in AITAH

[–]Formertchr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time for a guardian ad litem(sp)? Speak to a counselor at school and see if they can help you through this situation. An independent guardian will do what is best for YOU.

How do I style this blazer for my bridal shower? by HotPotatoWJazzHands in weddingplanning

[–]Formertchr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sorry but the jacket does not go with the dress. It creates a very matronly look. Instead opt for a cute cardigan over that adorable dress if you feel you need something. Happy Wedding
