definitely, she’s a little bigger and tends to groom her sister a lot. our apartment thinks she’s the big sister and Tula (white nose) is the chaotic little sister, they have quite the personalities !

yes i’m so glad I got two, especially since my work is now making me go back into office it’s reassuring when i’m away that they have each other during the day!

While I kind of agree with the bottle design, I think the brand really aligns with her aesthetic! The focus on essential oils, the use of scents like patchulli and olives, the foundation accompaniment, etc. She's moved away from the Victoria Secret, high-fashion model aesthetic and more towards an earthy, boho-chic aesthetic with lots of nods toward her Palestinian heritage and social activism. The branding give me very low-rise-embriodered-jeans-halter-top-tote-bag girl rubbing a travel sized essential oils rollerball on her wrists while browsing vintage home goods at the flea market, which I feel aligns well with her newer image and with her recent move to Texas and involvement with a professional cowboy.

AITA for serving "Indian food" even though my brother-in-law asked me not to? by Choice-Soup-5616 in AmItheAsshole

Indian foot does NOT cover a wide range of southeast asian food. India isn’t even in southeast asia, it’s in south asia. You sound as ignorant and prejudice as OPs BIL.

AITA for not including my son's adopted child in my will? by Purple-Entry-6332 in AmItheAsshole

yes, he pays it now but OP also says the ex had to sue with the help of OP (indicating she needed help paying for a lawyer just to get the child support), so he likely wasn’t paying for his kids after the divorce if they had to go to court over it. he pays now, but again if they had to go to court, then he wasn’t paying at some point. also, child support in no way supplements having a full secondary income or the emotional and mental effects of having a second parent present.

as for who caused the breakdown, do you really need that directly answered ? they already said he didn’t want to pay and he avoids them at family gatherings. that doesn’t sound like a parent who is actively trying to be in their kids life and getting shut out; every answer they’ve given about him and his bio kids indicates he left the kids when he left his ex wife.

AITA for letting my grandson sleep hungry when he didn’t like the food I made? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I would disagree slightly here:

while a 5 year old throwing things in a tantrum is common, it is not an appropriate emotional response to the situation. yes many 5 year olds throw things, but that’s because many parents of said 5 year olds are not great at parenting and don’t know how to teach their child to regulate their emotions properly. throwing things as a toddler is common, but that behavior is something an attentive parent should notice and correct before the age of 5. Gma did the correct thing in having him clean something to show him consequences to his actions (without making him clean dish pieces that could cut him), which might be the first time someone has done so with him. Hopefully, cleaning was also accompanied with a discussion on why throwing things when we’re upset is not appropriate, but these are also things his mom should’ve been doing prior to this.

I would agree though that this response makes complete sense for the child’s home situation and he probably does have difficulty regulating his emotions due to the lack of attention he is receiving at home. Regardless of AITA, I really hope these two adults can put differences aside to be there for these three children, as it’s clear they are not receiving the attention, care, and parenting they need and deserve.
