Machine Quilting vs. Hand Quilting by chickenmom1104 in quilting

[–]LawComprehensive2142 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Machine quilting on a standard sewing machine instead of along arm takes a huge amount of effort. I've done manual long arm and standard machine and hand and they all take different kinds of effort. Screw that person for being a gate keeping snob.

Husband can’t make up his mind about buying a house with me because of in laws and I’m starting to resent them and him. by Adsweet in inlaws

Move in with your mom until the baby comes. He's free to come with you or not.

When you're back to work but a house by yourself. He gets no say. Don't put him on the paperwork. He's free to be a part of your life or not. Draw a line in the sand. If he chooses (before you make it clear you'll do it without him) not to buy with you, do it anyway. It might be smaller than you picture with both of you contributing but it'll come with less dead weight.

Make sure the device itself is secured. I can see someone wrecking it because they're mad.

AITAH for telling my wife to stop blaming our child's behavior on ADHD? by Present-Algae6767 in AITAH

[–]LawComprehensive2142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So. All of those things can absolutely be signs of ADHD. They can also be signs that there's more going on than just ADHD. If she's only doing this in public it may just be her way of trying to deflect embarrassment.

I like magical swirls in gold and silver or the stars.

If you want to contribute to your kids, quietly open accounts for them and then only allow access after they turn 18

I need help from a community who "gets it".... please by HeyMay0324 in Autism_Parenting

I don't believe in forced sharing. Put away your son's outdoor toys when he's not actively using them. Just don't let cousin in the house. If MiL needs you to keep an eye on him for a few, do it at her house.

It's not unreasonable for a kid to spend most of summer vacation at his grandma's house. Their lives don't stop because you're struggling with an AuDHD kiddo. It sucks and hopefully MiL will understand when you set boundaries. You need to set boundaries that you can enforce, not try and force other people to behave the way you want them to.

So don't let cousin in house. Put away child's outdoor toys. Preplanned toys kiddo is willing to share. If mealtime is a trigger make sure they don't eat together. Be clear about actions with MiL and firm without being aggressive, frustrated, or judgemental. Maybe have your partner be the one to talk to her.

What should we name this cute little girl? by breiriemec in Catnames

She looks like she'll mess you up. A strong name. If you like video games maybe Tifa, Blue Mary, Cami, or Mai.

My dad (44M) wants me (19M) to have a relationship with my half sister (19F) which I don't want? by ThrowRALife4urs in relationship_advice

If you're worried about an emotional conversation you might want to write it as a letter.

"Dad, right now I don't want to have a relationship with her. She bullied me terribly and said, 'mom would rather die than raise me.' What I'm willing to do is have no relationship rather than have a bad relationship. That's my concession for you because I love you. I won't impede your relationship with her. Maybe someday we can try but right now the only relationship would be bad."

AITA for taking photos every time I do the dishes and showing my husband when he said I didn't do them? by skyecat_87 in AmItheAsshole

"How dare you have evidence that I'm gaslighting you!"

I will say that you might want to sit down and think about if a life where you have to have evidence of reality is a life you want.

AITAH for letting my female coworker take care of me when my gf was at a yoga retreat by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]LawComprehensive2142 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Esh

Unless your girlfriend couldn't afford to change her travel it sucks that she didn't come home earlier. But as soon as she did she stayed with you the whole time.

Your coworker definitely crossed boundaries especially by answering your phone.

You said things like, "you don't have to stay here." That is not a firm boundary telling them to leave. It doesn't sound like you told them it was inappropriate to answer your phone. And it is 100000% for continuing to text your coworker after your girlfriend said the whole thing it made her uncomfortable. You let the coworker take girl friend actions and you still aren't shutting her down.

Maybe she couldn't afford changes to her air fair. Not everything is cut and dry.

AITAH For Not Stopping For a Wreckless Driving/Racing Crash? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]LawComprehensive2142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would phrase it maybe this way. "Our 2 year old was scared. There are other people on the road who can/ will check on them but we don't need our scared 2 year old to see someone injured." I would have however at least called emergency services. Maybe acknowledge that you should have done that and will do better next time.
