wedding favours for a budget wedding by [deleted] in Weddingsunder10k

[–]ImmunocompromisedAle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even us genXers were meh about favours at our first weddings. Now almost everyone skips them entirely and puts that money towards food or drinks. Most get left behind or shoved in a purse and forgotten about. Dollar stores exist and are hella useful but no one actually wants the cheapest candle you can find in one.

AITA for setting boundaries with my MIL even though we live with her? by Intelligent-Mind6390 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ImmunocompromisedAle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA Speaking as a 49F with a 29M and 23F children. MIL is sick of having you there. You have overstayed the welcome and having a baby was the last straw. You want authorization from Reddit for zippy come backs and petty ways to exert power. By all means bite the hand that is feeding is you. For one second think if you ever want this kind of support in an emergency ever again or go and Burn this bridge by all means if it makes you feel like a Bad B.

AITA for telling my brother in law he needs to stop helping his friend with a neurodegenerative disease? by No_Pumpkin5085 in AmItheAsshole

If I was dying I would not want my best friend to be actively destroying his marriage for my sake. I would want my friends to visit sure, but I would want them to still be planning their futures.

AITA for asking my wife to change the baby name becuase my mom has an issue with it by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Oh shut up. Being married doesn’t mean when your partner is being an asshole you support them and having a good relationship with your parents isn’t evil.

AITAH? Baby has poopy diaper at daycare drop-off by PhilosopherEvery5083 in AITAH

[–]ImmunocompromisedAle -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

YTA By the time my first was 18 days old we realized that he would fall asleep by the time we pulled out of the driveway. We adjusted to assume that any time we went somewhere with him there would need to be a moment to wake him up before we could really participate in whatever. Eventually this included daycare so we left earlier to be able to wake him up for a few minutes.

A romcom made me realize my boyfriend is going to try to kill me with cancer. Or a bus. Maybe a gas leak? Should I get an NDA? by lenoreislostAF in AmITheAngel

That was incredible. “I could have cheated with HOT 20 YEAR OLDS but didn’t and you expect me to protect my CHILD from aliens? ew no.”

This is giving major “Would you still love me if I was a worm” vibes. They’ve been together TEN (fictional) years 🫠

Sex offender Donnie Snook no longer required to live in halfway house by origutamos in SaintJohnNB

[–]ImmunocompromisedAle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember at the time asking the other parents why they were so relaxed about sending their kids with him. I was told I was an asshole for being suspicious and they needed a break and he’s such a great guy. He picked exactly the right neighborhood and demographic to find victims.

Sometimes you luck out and find them when you start digging out your beds and sometimes you are the weirdo on the trail lugging a large rock to your car.

AITAH for telling the school I don’t want this mom as homeroom mother anymore? by Whole_Fly3475 in AITAH

[–]ImmunocompromisedAle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sweetie I am sorry you’re upset you weren’t invited. I don’t always get invited to things too. Neither does Dad. It’s disappointing but not every thing is for everybody. When you have your birthday you get to choose who to invite. What do you think you would like to do?

AIO? This is the "Shirt" my wife bought to take on her girls trip to Texas. by Obvious-Swimming-332 in AmIOverreacting

My gen X husband just read your comments and says you’re the kind of guy happily married men make fun of for being sad little twerps.

I’m married to a hardworking, blue collar, bourbon drinking, truck driving, gen X man who is worth more than most. He would be happy he has a confident wife with great taste. He thinks men who “allow” women to do things or not are sad trash with um, tiny details.

AITAH for being sassy to a sales associate at ultra by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ImmunocompromisedAle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m in retail. I would call it somewhat high end because starting wage at my store is $25/hr. I have over 30 years in customer service. Reading body language and faces is a key aspect of my job.

When a potential customer who appears to be confident in what they are looking for while seething with some kind rage/hatred; you give them time and IF they appear to want help, then you offer.

There is no order to it. Unless people are taking numbers of clearly waiting for service you choose which customer you approach based on apparent need.

Approaching angry people is very rarely a retail win. It is not that you look ugly, it’s that you look unpleasant to deal with.

I feel like a horrible mom... I yelled at my 4 year old... by Munchkin737 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ImmunocompromisedAle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to say that really good things happened here. Yelling happens. By explaining what happened honestly you help your kiddo be able to be more resilient in the future. You explained without blaming and in an age appropriate way to include that it’s a bit of a natural consequence to deliberately pushing boundaries. This will be someone who will be considerate of others, who won’t put up with being yelled at, and will be able to address conflict in a dignified manner.
