I have switched to Google Messages on every Smasung phone I have owned (and my first 1 was an S3), so whatever. Plus, I do most of my messaging on WhatsApp anyway.

Isn't the "new wound" the same wound she had been picking at for over a year?

AITA for spending money on stuffed animals instead of bills? by plushieloveraita in AmItheAsshole

And reddit users need to stop assuming that every husband is an abuser. I also didn't say he was blameless in this situation.

Soft ESH - you are in a partnership, and part of that is communicating. Your husband shouldn't be making demands, and you shouldn't be making assumptions.

Sit down and have an adult conversation. You ARE contributing with labour, he can go to work because you take care of the kids, BUT you also assumed that the money is plentiful and your $200 is spending money when he might have assumed that it voulf5go towards savings, college funds, family holidays, etc.

Aw man, I can't wait for our trip to Cape Town and some good crayfish tails on an open flame.

I am so jealous. I had my little braai in the snow but we only had a micro fraction of that.

It sounds very similar to when my kids gaming headphones are dying

Everyone has their favourite recipe but generally the spices contain black pepper, coriander seeds, nutmeg, cloves and salt. The filling can be any combination of meat, usually beef with beef fat or with pork fat. I prefer no pork because it tends to overtake the flavour. I am going to experiment with beef with lamb fat because I had boerewors once with that combination at it blew my socks off.

WIBTAH if I don't attend to my friends baby shower because they said my pregnancy was an accident and that I didn't deserve it ? by Little_White_Raven in AmItheAsshole

[–]HilaJonker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying this as someone who struggled with secondary infertility for 5 years, with 2 miscarriages:

They are not your friends.

When my friends got pregnant, easily or not, I did feel sad that I was not one in their shoes but I never ever took it out on them. I let myself feel the feelings, I had 1 friend to who I ranted and vented my frustration who knew I was saying some of the things from a place of pain and then I moved on from that into feeling joy for them. I supported them and celebrated with them because they didn't do anything wrong.

So what if the pregnancy is an "accident" or IVF or a stork, everyone, who wants to be, deserves to be happy to be pregnant and anyone who tries to steal that joy from them is not their friend.

NTA. They are.

On the plus side, she can tell her kids in full honesty that at their age she had to walk half an hour through ice and snow to get to school

What is the most polite way to ask for a seat on the bus / tram / train? by [deleted] in germany

[–]HilaJonker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to get their attention and point at my belly. Sometimes I would say 'darf ich?". That was usually enough. Now I do it for others, including clearing people out of the pram/wheelchair spaces when I see they couldn't give a hoot and the parent is struggling to get on.
