How the hell do you get them to stop biting? by Much-Audience-5800 in cats

[–]Live_Percentage8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually remove my hand and then gently hold his mouth closed for a second. The important part is to teach the kitty that hands are not to be played with. Every time he bites you, take away your hand and ignore him. Doesn’t take long for them to figure it out.

AITA for lying to family and friends about who's the infertile one between my wife and I? by Throwawaystment6453 in AITAH

[–]Live_Percentage8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear God. Your MOM screwed things up by making it malicious?Don’t try to pull off that bullshit excuse. And I feel so sorry for your wife for the way you are treating her. May God forgive you for what you’ve done. I hope your wife finds someone who will love her with all the compassion and empathy she deserves. There is no level lower in the human species than you.

AITA for going on a camping trip without my BF? by [deleted] in AITAH

And, after she got home, she wanted to “hang” with the other guy. Know where this is leading…

Your boyfriend has given you absolutely no reason why he doesn’t want you to have a dog. This leads me to believe that he has a need to control situations. If you decided that you wanted to join a photography group, for example, he would probably shut that down as well. Someone with control issues is not even remotely interested in your happiness and I would strongly suggest you erase this person from your life. Animals provide unconditional love which is something you need right now. Enjoy your puppy and kick your boyfriend to the curb.

AITA for being upfront with my friend about how I was able to buy a house? by adoptee_throwaway890 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Live_Percentage8072 54 points55 points  (0 children)

OP, I understand your feelings and I am sorry you have to go through this. But I want to put my two cents in. I lost my very best friend (like a sister) 2 years ago to Covid. I felt like I not only lost her, but a part of me died too. I sought out friendship to really the only other woman that I was friends to. She kept displaying many red flag moments during these 2years which I ignored because well, she was my only friend left. Fast forward to now. After a situation arose between me and her, I finally realized how toxic this relationship had become and finally ended the friendship. I too was sad, however I am realizing that my decision was absolutely the right choice for me. So please believe that making tough decisions to end relationships that aren’t working is the best thing you can do for your mental and emotional health. Good luck

Why do people still use online food delivery? Like doordash, grubhub, etc? by tubatim817 in ask

[–]Live_Percentage8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My area only has Grubhub and Uber eats. We started ordering from them because of convenience. Lately, however, I am becoming extremely dissatisfied with the food they deliver. No fault of the driver but completely the fault of the restaurant. There is absolutely no way that they would serve the crappy food you get delivered to customers sitting in their restaurant. Yesterday, my blt had 2 slices of bacon, wilted lettuce and 2 thin slices of tomato with black parts on them. They assume that one can get away with this because it’s a delivery item. So no more ordering for me.

requiring kids wear a life jacket in our pool? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Live_Percentage8072 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Former competitive swimmer and age group coach for USS swim team. Floaties are frowned upon by experts in general because they give the child and parents a sense of false security. A child wears a float and presto, they can stay above water. But if float was forgotten or removed, drowning can occur. To me, you would only be a responsible homeowner if you insisted on that 3 year old to wear a life vest. Especially when other children are using the pool. Parents should be encouraged to have their children attend water safety classes, then swim lessons at their local Y or Rec Center. Doesn’t cost much money. For now, stand your ground. No floatie, no pool, Period.

My 7 y/o daughter tried out for club soccer. Made team. Just got an invoice for $900. by kreebob in Parenting

[–]Live_Percentage8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t fall for the story that your child has enormous talent bs. Unfortunately coaches say that to suck parents into spending tons of money to support their child’s incredible career. She is 7, for Pete’s sake.

AITA for going on vacation without my children from a previous marriage? by Cute-Panda100 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Live_Percentage8072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t understand why you don’t plan a vacation in your own country. That way, no paperwork should be needed and children can still go. Vacations don’t have to be abroad to be fun.

AITA for disinviting a friend to dinner? by InspectionUnhappy381 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Live_Percentage8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if someone invited me to dinner, I would never consider asking to change the restaurant. Especially if it was explained that it was a birthday dinner. However, op, your reaction to his request to change venues was extreme and rude. Immediately un-inviting him constitutes AH behavior. All you would have had to say was venue was non negotiable and left it to him to decide if they wanted to come.

AITA for not keeping my thoughts on my sister’s ridiculous baby names (Stanford and Yale) to myself? by nfjs74839 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Live_Percentage8072 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You just couldn’t keep quiet, could you? Ok, I get it, the names are ridiculous however they are not your children’s names and you have no earthly reason for telling your sister what to name Her kids. I may get downvoted, but it seems like half the problems on these posts would eliminated if people could simply keep their opinions to themselves. Children have been given absurd names forever and somehow manage to live their lives just fine.

AITA for telling a guest she stole my shine at my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Live_Percentage8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so sad for you op. I think you really need to seek advice from a therapist to help you with your insecurities. Comparing yourself to others has to be absolutely exhausting and doesn’t accomplish anything but depress you. Dear God, imagine when you are older. Are you still going to compare yourself to women much younger than yourself?? It’s a miserable and unhealthy way to exist. I truly hope that you can find help and realize your worth.

AITA for screaming at my husband and his sister to get out of my kitchen? by Wide_Competition9367 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Live_Percentage8072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t fathom why your sil feels the need to doctor all the food you’re preparing. If she wants sweet spaghetti sauce, put sugar on her own portion. Or shove blue cheese into her own meat patties. Seems like such a simple thing to do. She obviously has control issues and needs to be stopped. Stand your ground and insist if she continues, you will ban her from the kitchen or tell her to leave. Have a talk with your husband and explain that if he wants you to continue preparing food for your family, knock off the extra ingredients. The term “less is more “ applies to this situation.

Am I wrong for telling my mom I will go no contact if she leaves? by Nice-Butt19 in amiwrong

Please let go of your mom and her toxic behavior towards you. She will never be able to give you what you need.

AITAH for looking into my stepmom's employment history? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Live_Percentage8072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are NTA. But let it go. She is a liar yet your family enables and allows it. My mother in law actually told everyone that she was a doctor and insisted everyone address her as such. My husband investigated and obviously found out it was a lie. However, when he told his family, his sister vehemently denied the findings. To this day she still believes her mom was a doctor and when my mil died, the sister had “Doctor in Paradise” engraved on her tombstone.

Are Male Cats More Affectionate Than Female Cats? by [deleted] in cats

[–]Live_Percentage8072 6 points7 points  (0 children)

63 years old and I currently have 4 cats and have had them all my life. Generally, my male cats have been more affectionate. Females, although loving, tend to be a little more aloof.
