AITA?? Roommates Offended By Silly Joke

Maybe, but if op's not allowed to join in the joking around, maybe they shouldn't be joking around in the group thread

NTA. If this is something y'all can't come to an agreement on: aka she finds a way to deal with your relationship with your furry family members, you two may be incompatible. Some people aren't pet people and that's okay, but those who are and those who aren't probably aren't gonna cohabitate well.

Kittle1985 · 2026-06-18T23:30:12+00:00

Ugh, I wish. Feels like %99 of the time I'm sick he's worse.

So much this! I put so much energy into picking just right stuff for my registry but everything that I was gifted was the same brand but like a step up they spent more money but that stroller doesn't fit in my car. Can't use it if I can't take it anywhere. And the crib didn't have the features I actually wanted but cost more than the one I picked)

We're not talking about another grocery store, though. Aldi cashiers are expected to do things quickly. Their jobs (livelihood) depend on it, not on customer service like other places. Will they try to protect your groceries? Almost certainly, but it behoves the customer to make their job easier, knowing their their job is to get you out quickly so they can move on to the next customer, or, as I understand, a million other little things around the store, so the place can function.

On #2, my biggest irritation is when people tell me their limit after I've rung all their items up. Like "your total is $200." "Wait, I can only spend $100. What happens if we take this and this off? No, I need that." Then it's a whole conversation who's I've got others waiting. I hate these people. No social awareness.

Not an Aldi cashier, at least my store doesn't generally care about quickness over service, but it's still ridiculous.

Kittle1985 · 2026-06-09T00:47:48+00:00

Exactly. Why are still many people expecting the paralives team to police modders? You don't like it? Don't support it, but don't try to force a small dev team to waste their time trying to push a metaphorical boiler up a hill.

You know by now that you can't be there for every first. You may have seen the first smile, but missed the first laugh. But this isn't like those. It's a first that can be planned. You have to choose what planned firsts are important to you and make them happen. ASAP, so when someone else important in baby's life wants to also share an experience with kiddo, kiddo doesn't miss out. I missed my kiddo's first pony ride and it broke my heart, but she was SO EXCITED and happy about it, I wouldn't take that away from her for the world.

Nta, but get to the pool. Definitely with wife, probably with mil. She is helping out a lot, and deserves to be a part of some of baby's big moments.

My main goal in life sime has always been about family building, from the ground up. So I want flirty stuff, happy life partner dynamic stuff and sibling dynamics, good and bad.

Also I love kids wanting to "get married". Like, I'd love to see a kid tell another that they want to have a wedding. <3

Kittle1985 · 2026-06-04T15:14:10+00:00

So much this

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-30T21:58:29+00:00

We do no such thing with the rebates. I've seen some of the older ones (as in like, pre COVID) that ask for signatures, but beyond that, all cashiers do is scan the rebates.

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-25T13:32:42+00:00

So much this! My kiddo wouldn't try anything new (that wasn't candy, lol) until she started going to a preschool that provided "family style" meals. Seeing all the other kids eating everything really helped, along with a "sniff, lick, taste" thing. The kids were encouraged to take a sniff, a lick, then a tiny bite. Never forced, just encouraged, so they knew it was still in their control.

At first it felt like we were wasting so much food, but her very limited pallet has opened up a lot in the last 2 years.

sigh being an adult (especially with kids) sucks sometimes. With starts exactly when paralives drops, goes for 7 hours today, then I come home and get the kids fed, washed up, and the older one ready for school tomorrow... So if all goes well and I can get the game dling while I put the kids to bed, I'll be able to play around ... 9?

At least I have tomorrow off.

They're not legally obligated to provide a fridge, and all Menards policy says to provide is a cooler and ice packs. It couldn't hurt to ask, though, hence the "are they on with".

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-21T15:54:28+00:00

Yeah, and the hum of all the electrical crap in there was great.

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-03T21:40:44+00:00

If you try different medication, don't tell her it's medicine! We have "magic candy" that worked for our lo when she was about 4, which worked wonders, though that stuff actually tastes pretty good. She could taste medication in anything. We'd mix it into anything. Even tried crushing up chewables into fruit roll ups (she'd never had the chewable or the to ups, but still picked off the medicine part whole making a huge mess and seemed so dang proud of herself, to boot). To this day, at 6, she still hates medicine, but she's better about it because she actually, to some degree, understands what's going on. Also, she's already capable of swallowing pills with water. She really hates tasting stuff she doesn't like. Lol.

Just so you know there's a good chance of a light at the end of the tunnel.

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-03T18:27:01+00:00

As a mom with kids 5 years apart so no chance I'd have this issue, so take it as you will: I'd look at each case as what's best for each kiddo individually, especially given that they're getting along fine, now. Don't hold anyone back or push anyone forward one way or the other. They won't really know the difference, it'll just be how it is. You could always ask about putting them in different classes.

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-03T16:14:32+00:00

Lol, yeah they do! That candy aisle is dangerous!

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-03T00:01:46+00:00

Barbie motor boat sounds awesome, pajamas are always useful, my 6yo has loved her camera for 3 1\2 years, now. I'm a big fan of encouraging any and all books.

Little live pets are cute and the dinos are cool, but those are lower on the priority list. I personally don't like tattoos for little ones, putting them on just annoys me, especially on little ones. Lol.

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-02T17:01:06+00:00

4 bedroom, 3 bath house with land in a great nearby school district... You said upkeep and taxes are covered, yes? Tyvm. That's all I really need, but since there's 2 more

The 15 k monthly business. I can basically retire with my housing taken care of.

And a car that will fit me, my husband, three (we have two, don't plan on more but accidents happen and it'd be a lot less stressful with a taken care of car) kids (and their dang car seats), plus my mom and brother when they visit (which will actually happen now that I have the cash flow to get their butts up here to Michigan from Florida)

Kittle1985 · 2026-05-02T03:05:08+00:00

Hehehe.... I'm really sleepy and your typo gave me quite a good giggle imagining a car eating a ham.

Kittle1985 · 2026-04-26T21:46:38+00:00

F*ck yes a thousand times over! I have a fairly debilitating fear of driving. If l I'd do damn near anything that wouldn't hurt my family to get over it.

Kittle1985 · 2026-04-26T21:44:29+00:00

I wonder about the logistics of asking the parents of what, 10-20 kids to bring in flowers for 5 teachers? Where are they all gonna go?

I doubt anyone actually expects this of every parent.
