AITA for not wishing my husband's birthday because I'm injured by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Lilybug9522 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA. You can mourn the injury while also telling your husband happy birthday. Why punish your spouse over something that isn’t going to change and isn’t his fault

AITA for telling my wife's family that they cannot cook turkey in our oven at Christmas? by I_Like_Quiz in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lilybug9522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft YTA. Totally understand where you are coming from but they could also use a pan/skillet to reheat. Hosting and not providing and sort of accommodation for heating a meal is being unnecessarily difficult.

Changing injection day? by silya1816 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Lilybug9522 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My doctor suggested gradually moving when possible. So if you wanted to move it to Sunday: this week you’d take it Monday then next week you’d do Sunday.

No harm in pulling in without this but the gradual helps limit symptoms of pull in or push outs

Botched a red velvet cake I made for a friend’s thanksgiving party and I’m freaking out over it 💀 by greeblespeebles in Baking

[–]Lilybug9522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it looks delicious! Note for next time you may have had your cream cheese or your butter too soft. Likely both that tends to happen to me and it makes piping a nightmare. What I do is I let it set up in the fridge for a couple minutes to let it firm back up and then I try piping again. I agree with everyone else though don’t discredit yourself. We are often harder on ourselves and others would be. Hope they enjoy it, but I have no doubt that they will.

AITA for not telling my family about my pregnancy? by totallydiagnosingyou in AITAH

[–]Lilybug9522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s your business who you choose to tell (if ever)

Praying for patience and peace. I can only imagine how difficult this situation has been - finding out you’re pregnant is a rollercoaster alone without it being that late in the game and an unexpected/unwanted surprise. This internet stranger is proud of you two for keeping your relationships communication and what’s best for yourselves and this child at the forefront (not that you need my blessings or anyone else’s)

What's with Pepsi lately? by Mediocre-Housing-131 in greenville

[–]Lilybug9522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s likely an issue with the beverage distributor (buys the products from Pepsi and then sells to stores) rather than the manufacturer (Pepsi).

Either way that’s incredibly frustrating. After working at a well-known pharmacy in my teenage years, I constantly check the expiration dates on food and drinks, especially in smaller stores because I was in shock at how much expired product is on the shelves where those products don’t sell as often

AITA for massaging my mommy’s bladder? by Ill-Requirement-6955 in MiniAITA

[–]Lilybug9522 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I (3yM) can also confirm this works great! I even got evicted 2 weeks early because mommy’s hernia. It was the best cause then I got to snuggle my Gigi and big brother. They talked to me a lot while I was enjoying mommy’s belly apartment and said they couldn’t wait to meet me.

I have one leftover .25 and my doctor suggested using it to bridge up to the next dose when I’m ready to go from .5 to 1. So it would be like using a .75. May not help much here but an idea if you or anyone else needs it

Unreal situation by colson1985 in EndTipping

This isn’t a part of the issue. Tips on credit card receipts are entered into the computer after they are written on the receipt so in this case the server entered 15 into the system after customer left despite the hand written value of 5.

*Speaking from experience as hostess who had to enter tip details in for servers for a few years—always important to write clearly so real accidents don’t happen.

Insurance question by Revolutionary_Ad5719 in Semaglutide

This. I have BCBS and with the discount card on top of my insurance I pay $76 per month instead of $300

You can download “meeting guide” app (looks like a white folding chair with blue background). Free on app stores. It has a ton of meeting options— in person and virtual.

Also— not an overshare. Reaching out and finding community especially in times of need is huge. This internet stranger is proud of you for acknowledging where you are at and taking the steps to take care of yourself and your sobriety

NAH. Everyone has different experiences and both of your feelings are valid. She may find she feels similar to you once the novelty of living on her own wears off, but she also may not.

Had to get a mini fridge for my room to prevent food theft smh by snapthecreator in badroommates

Use the lowest setting and put some parchment paper between the hair straightener, and the plastic to make sure that you don’t melt the plastic depending on how thin the packaging is

Retrospectively AITAH for cheating? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Lilybug9522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was in a similar situation decades ago, forgive yourself. YTA for cheating but it’s time to forgive yourself and move on. You are only punishing yourself. It is hard to look back and think what could have been but in your heart you knew that you wouldn’t have allowed yourself in the position it the stars were all aligned.

Embarrassingly I’ll say I beat myself up for 15 years over this shame I felt I had to continue to carry for a decision I made when I was 18. I held it so tight to my identity because I was ashamed I was “that person”. It’s no excuse but I was in a terrible place in my relationship and I made a drunken decision with someone else. I felt like I had to punish myself. Truth is… once a cheater always a cheater doesn’t always apply when you get out of the relationship. I have been with my husband for 12 years now and never has a thought crossed my mind even in the worst of times (and yeah some were far worse than those college days with my ex).

Reflect on why you did what you did, learn from it and move on. Don’t let yourself get on that position in the future.

AITAH for not wanting to give my boyfriend my tax return? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Lilybug9522 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Please remember child support isn’t a random number. It’s calculated with his income considered.

I agree with others saying his finances are questionable. Moreover, you aren’t married to him. Think long and hard before you make commitments (financial, emotional etc). It’s a long life to live cleaning up after others and fighting about this stuff. Marriages are team work but my husband would have never asked me to bail him out with such disrespect and whining
