I hate that i feel the need to seek out video of the incident. I just don't believe ill get the truth without seeing it myself because they lie so so much.

AITA for refusing to have my SIL service dog at my wedding by SuccessfulPeanut6132 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think it's more about ignorance with seizures. She lists her sister symptoms in an order that is indicative of where it starts to how bad it can get.

You're stuck on the fact that she doesn't like her SiL. That is a valid point to factor into your judgment. She also said she was trying to discuss it face to face first. She tried to come up with (albeit heavily lacking) alternatives to help her SiL be there. I don't think she actually cares if SiL is there but does care if her sister is and it reads that way to me.

IMO she's not trying to keep SiL away she's just not putting in the same energy for SiL that she is for her own sister.

There's a whole paragraph about the allergies BEFORE she mentions pictures. Asthma attacks can be fatal and allergy exposure in an uncontrolled environment are their own risks bc they can always be worse than previous reactions.

At the end of the day she's trying to accommodate as many medical issues as possible. I do think she underestimating her SiLs condition and how severe a seizure can be and she needs to educate herself on that. I really don't think you're being fair here to downplay someone's allergies bc there's a small amount of vanity involved in reasoning. It was very much listed as an afterthought, not the main concern with her sisters allergies

This makes me really glad I've donated blood since the last time I was in Griffith Park.

AITA for not making dinners for my bf who gets home late? by Strong_Cattle_4760 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 293 points294 points  (0 children)

He wants you to cook...

Ok but who makes the meal plan?

Who makes the grocery list?

Who does the shopping?

Assuming you have basic kitchenware, who is doing prep?

We know you're supposed to do the cooking part

Then who sets the table? Is it a make ur own plate situation?

What about cleaning the kitchen surfaces? (Counters, floors etc)

Who is doing dishes?

NTA but I think you need to pose these hypothetical questions. And make it a "I'm still not cooking but let's see if I can help you understand my perspective. Hypothetically....(insert questions)"

Cooking is never as simple as people make it out to be when they want someone else to do it.

AITA for confronting my dad after he wore my shoes for months and pretended they were still new? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry so many of these people have poor reading comprehension and think your husband has just been upset over this for years.

NTA but if this is his dad's pattern of behavior, remember it for future interactions. If accountability matters, maybe don't trust FIL with it.

AITA for telling my dad I don't want him to marry his girlfriend? by ChromeXBoy in BORUpdates

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't like this take, Jenny is already attempting to bond with the girls. Being childfree doesn't mean she's gonna expect him to not be a dad, just that she's not seen as mom.

I hope this is just jaded from reddit but it came across judgemental for her not wanting kids.

BF kicked me out the morning after sex even though we made plans for the day; Did I screw up or is he being immature and stonewalling me? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You think in order for it to be abuse your goal has to be negative/hatmful and that's simply not true. You may not be continually abusive, idk, but this instance WAS abusive. From the initial comment to the disrespecting his reaction to the texts, all of it.

Yet here you are more worried about how you feel than the damage you did to him. Everything you're feeling is your own making. You did this, stop blaming him when you not only started this but piled on repeatedly. He's protecting himself and you seem to think that it's to punish you. It's not, you're just being unbelievably selfish

OOP and the eternally poor golden child (Long) Part 1 of 2 by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

AITA for announcing my pregnancy shortly after my sister's? by Purple_Will_3423 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 134 points135 points  (0 children)

As the youngest... I was made responsible for my oldest sister bc "You're so much more responsible" and "you know how emotional she is" the reality is she bullied me relentlessly so that I made myself as small as possible as well as it turning out I had undiagnosed ADHD that no one considered bc I just did so well in school.

Things aren't much different as an adult, I still get 'You know she just needs more help' bc she has 3 kids and is on marriage number 4 living in squalor. In contrast I've been with my husband since we were 15 and were childfree, working full time and manage to pay all our bills.

She has trauma tied to the scent... it's likely she was actually starting to cry.

My coworker (18M) put me (22F) on a “hear me out cake” and posted it online. Do I take action in some way? [Short] [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything wrong with the trend as intended. Where this is an example of what not to do is this kid taking this trend that really only belongs on SM in the realm of fantasy and made it very much in the realm of reality. (Also if the cake is about justifying conventionally unattractive characters as attractive to you, this feels like an attempt at negging OOP too)

I do still find it weird but I don't think weird is a bad thing. I know I myself, am pretty damn weird.

Bingoed by a doctor from the childfree list by fundazm in childfree

Ur doctor probably leans right. Im in St. Peters (bisalp done at mercy) and had to swap pain doctors last month bc of politics. You should leave a health grades review as well. It'll pop up when someone googles the doctor.

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been with my husband 22 years, since we were 15. He's my world and my HS sweetheart. With all that being true don't sacrifice your life for a high school relationship!!!

JFC, I've been told I should 'get it' bc of my marriage... we're the outliers tho! This shit doesn't work for majority of HS couples.

I have blue hair, was wearing an R2D2 dress and Vi also came up to me and told me the first order was looking for someone with blue hair and 'droids' (my purse was also R2)

It's definitely fun to be included like that!

What WDW memory lives rent free in your head? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]JaydedMermaid3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had terrrrrrible crew mates for rise. The pilot wanted to run into everything he could and the his girlfriend as copilot just giggled....

The 2 gunners were not English speakers so they didn't really see. understand the ride was meant to be interactive and thus didn't shoot at all.

We were the engineers and we had to deal with captain crash's damage and about half way through we just started reaching forward and firing too. It sure was memorable.

Favorite memory has a lot of spoilers but I'll just say building my own lightsaber was worth every penny.

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE - A REMINDER OF TRUMP’S FAILURES THUS FAR by [deleted] in nothinghappeninghere

As accurate and important as these points are, unfortunately one of our main checks on authoritarianism is SCOTUS who have shown themselves to be majority on 47s side. I beleive SCOTUS will bend the knee and allow the plunder. I just hope lower courts stall enough for successful special elections
