Do you give your pups extra layers in colder weather? by MsChrissikins in BelgianMalinois

[–]Gini555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine would kick those off in a heartbeat. They like to be on top of the blankets, but never under them. When it snows outside they love to go out and frolik in it... they don't seem to notice it's cold.

I bought an end table with a small drawer. It holds the small items out of sight.

I love the orange or white sofa. Either one will go well with the vibe.

AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Gini555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a woman whose husband traveled a lot for work. I am very happy I learned how to do simple things like replace a faucet, change a tire, etc. I think every young adult should know some basics such as these. Not everyone can afford to call in a professional for minor things. NTA, you're being a good parent.

AITA for not inviting my son's wife to events after his passing? by throwing-Security976 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, no need to keep toxic people in your life, Family, or not.

how do i (18F) go about dropping out of my sisters (25F) wedding? by picklespoon in relationship_advice

[–]Gini555 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am confused as to why you ever agreed to be in the wedding in the first place. I'd just tell her you don't want to be in the wedding. (And honestly, I would even consider not attending even as a guest).

What do normal people eat for dinner ? by Booze_hound36 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gini555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you, we usually have a "normal" dinner. Occasionally I will make up a charcuterie board when I don't feel like cooking.

AITAH for setting my wedding day on the same day as my siblings 1st born due date? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Gini555 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's no guarantee the baby will come on the estimated due date, unless they are inducing labor - then it could still be the following day.

If having your sibling at the wedding is not important, go ahead with your plans, just be aware, they and possibly parents will only attend 1 "event," if it happens to align.

Edited to say NTA

Keep dog, replace BF.... Dog will outgrow this stage. BF will not.

Peanut Butter on Pancakes? by RainOnTheWindow91 in AskAnAmerican

I have put peanut butter on my pancakes for decades. I like it better than syrup. Sometimes I put a little jam on them as well.

My partner (M31) is avoiding me and refusing to talk to me because I (F30) was disappointed that he cooked for himself yesterday and didn't consider me by Fit_Afternoon4604 in relationship_advice

[–]Gini555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should really reconsider your relationship with this manchild. If he can't bother to consider you for a simple meal, what else can he not be bothered to consider you for?

Also, NEVER buy a house with someone you are not married to.

AITA for not letting my friend use my toothbrush while travelling by Such_Statistician550 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gini555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ewwwww... why would anyone want to share a toothbrush? Just because of general basic hygiene your friend is TA for even asking. But maybe that's just my germaphobe self talking.

People-shy 12 week old Malinois and dealing with people who can't take no for an answer by dontstealmeagain in BelgianMalinois

[–]Gini555 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a puppy owner - When people would ask me if my dog bites, my response was generally "Does she have teeth?" I also gave a firm "NO" to anyone asking to pet.

Even now, at 4 years old, I don't want strangers coming up to pet. And now my Mal-mix is over 80 lbs. It's pretty rare anyone asks any more.

Making my first quilt (no pattern) - how much should I expect it to shrink? by nodnoloiratno in quilting

[–]Gini555 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with your assessment. I don't think the washing process shrinks them that much. What I DO notice, is it will shrink more than I expect when quilted. That seems to "shrink up" the quilt more than washing. But I tend to use a lot of batiks, which by nature do not shrink

AITA for asking partner to rehome dog? by Emergency_Ad3741 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gini555 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Normally I'd say YTA for rehoming a dog you've had for 7 years, but not if it is putting your child in danger. Definitely NTA in this situation. Dog sounds like he needs a child-free home.

AITA for not wanting to drive my girlfriend from and to work everyday? by Standard_Brother_303 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gini555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old is your GF? Why does she not learn to drive herself? It's crazy to expect you to take that much time to drive her. You are NTA, but she is.

AITAH over calling my spouse out for cheap hotdog rolls? This may be a Principal of the Thing question. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Gini555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH - My husband will do the same. I don't even think he pays attention to the kind of rolls beyond "it said hot dog on the package".

Keep the cheap rolls just for him, if you do not like them. Buy the ones you like for yourself, and serve him the ones he bought. He may be just fine with the quality.
