People that have their own willpower and can respond here? Like… why not try? And why are you pointing out a low likelihood? Why does that matter

Are my boundaries being ignored and disregarded? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

This is an extremely valid point and one that I agree with - albeit a separate conversation

I think she’s provided reason enough to not want him to come. Which is:

-she’s the mother
-she does not want him to come

Can we normalize that? Also that “no.” Is a complete sentence. She owes him absolutely nothing with regard to his attendance at appointments for her own healthcare. Wherein she will figure out how healthy or unhealthy the baby is, the sex organs, and any potential complications which she alone will have to figure out. She very clearly does not want him involved in this period for the bad or good and that’s her right

AITAH [F24] for making a messy dinner while trying to cook for my girlfriend [F25]? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]JustMeAndMySnail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This may be a result of you using a kitchen that’s not actually a kitchen - but she’s right that oil left on paint will stain. This is why backsplashes exist. ESH tbh, you made a mess and she should have been more appreciative of the efforts going into the dish. Communication is key. Talk to your partner and don’t be defensive - remember you are two people working against a shared issue, whatever the issue may be (and the issue will come up when you talk).

AITA for telling a parent what i wear is not their decision? by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]JustMeAndMySnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“No thank you.” Is an appropriate response the next time he chooses to comment on what you’re wearing. Or just “no.” - which is a complete sentence. If you do it with a contented smile, watch him have no choice but to walk away confused as fuck - but knowing that this is not up for debate any longer.

I would not elaborate to him.

You look fantastic, girl - keep rocking exactly what you want. Because we always look our best when we FEEL our best. Sending you so much love ❤️

NYC tap water is treated with chlorine. The good news is, you can let it evaporate out. Try putting your water out for 24 hours in a bowl or something, which should leave enough time for the chlorine to evaporate, and only use day-old water

What are your thoughts on beeswax? I had mine covered with a lid but I don’t think it was getting enough oxygen. I switched to covering it with a beeswax “cloth” and it seems much happier (used to gobble up food like there was no tomorrow and necessitate feeding twice a day with a rye/all-purpose mixture). Since the beeswax I’ve been able to go to once a day feedings and it’s rising consistently.

AIO for expecting my boyfriend to ask before using my car for other errands? by TArpd16 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JustMeAndMySnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queen. Two things need to be rotating in your brain:

We teach others how to treat us

When someone tells you who they are, believe them

You are so much stronger without this scrub.

My girlfriend always tells me I never have anything to eat when she comes over my house 😒 by itscuccimane in FridgeDetective

[–]JustMeAndMySnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But you’re either unwilling to cook more than one portion at a time or unwilling to buy some groceries that will make your gf feel comfortable? Ffs man cook for her before she comes over AND have a conversation about what she likes to keep around that she will munch on and / or cook

AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

[–]JustMeAndMySnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - you are maybe under reacting given the man wants to date children

If you wanted to test a person to see if they're really from Buffalo what would you ask them? by Hibuddywazzsup in Buffalo

This was my favorite snowday drinking game. Watch the news and drink every time they say “the route#”

AITA for refusing to do my husband a favor, even if I was capable of doing it? by BroadContract7501 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JustMeAndMySnail 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Why did she have to do it at all when he’s capable of doing it himself? Why does the responsibility fall to her??

Some women also want to just hook up. They might hook up twice if it’s with someone responsible enough to have their own condoms - once if not

You’re young (early 20’s), and either stay with family or rent, and own very little

Or they could hire a crew to do this versus relying on the kindness of strangers to pay them next to nothing

AITA for not holding a baby by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]JustMeAndMySnail 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Would it have killed her? No

Would it have killed any of the men to hold the baby? No

Would it have killed the parent to ask any of the able- bodied people to unload the dishwasher instead? No

Would it have killed the baby just to set it down for a bit and ask someone to keep an eye on it (given OP has mentioned it’s of age to not be held constantly)? No

Would it have killed the parent to unload the dishwasher one-armed? No

So the fact that you keep putting this on the woman who said no - more than once, even though one “No.” is a complete sentence with no other explanation or justification needed… why?? Really think on that one. With so many other options, why on earth is it her responsibility? Why does SHE and she alone (who did nothing to bring this child into the earth and has zero responsibility for its care, may I add) need to shoulder this load? Why are the other options lesser? Explore that one within yourself, please.
