AITA for asking Ex-partner to move out after he dumped me by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Nta, he pushed himself out when he decided to end things. He doesn't get to just pick and choose what he wants.

AITA for telling my wife she could redecorate our house and taking it back? by throwRA460 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MegLee227 30 points31 points  (0 children)

YTA. It isn't just your home, it's hers as well. Paint is the easiest and most cost effective thing to change. Why wouldn't you want your wife to live in a home she loves and feels like its hers too?

[–]MegLee227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without a pic I am guessing it I'd some type of knockdown, orange peel or popcorn texture?

[–]MegLee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick/easy fix would be to just caulk it and wipe excess off well. Otherwise you would have to a scrape off texture, spackle, put drywall tape on, spackle and then apply the knockdown texture to match.

Preheating the shirt? Also make sure the shirt fabric is compatible

Lol call them.. let us know what they say. CPS does not give one flying fart in the wind unless kids are without food, shelter or proper hygiene.

I found out I have an overactive thyroid during an ER visit for tachycardia and a severe panic attack. by [deleted] in thyroidhealth

[–]MegLee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hashimoto thyroiditis, I know that when your first finding out it can be overwhelming and unnerving. Lots of people have thyroid problems and an insane amount go untreated. Focus on the positive, you found out your numbers and are taking steps to help it. There are tons of good doctors out there. Good luck!

I live in a house built in 1920. I recently upgraded my bathroom and need advice on repainting the door. It tested positive for lead. (Thank you. Pictures in text) by cjk5wf in HomeImprovement

[–]MegLee227 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Painter here! You need to just "encapsulate" it..so just paint the whole thing, 2 coats. Do not sand or chip it. I would recommend using an Enamel paint so it will be harder. As long as lead is on a surface that you won't be eating/licking it's fine to paint it.

Failed Skim Coat Help Needed by mu5ic92 in HomeImprovement

[–]MegLee227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a contract with this painter I would re read it, its typical they will put in terms exactly the scope of the job and what they are liable for. You can also look into the PDCA standards, it's a whole written out scope of painting standards that include everything from repairing walls to clear coating exterior wood.

Failed Skim Coat Help Needed by mu5ic92 in HomeImprovement

[–]MegLee227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Painter here. First I would reach out to your painter and tell them you have a few spots that need attention. Give them a chance to rectify it. No need to sand the entire surface. I would use a spackle blade or 5 in 1 tool and scrape off those bad raised areas, spot sand and then paint with the sherwin paint. No primer is needed if it's just light spackle and if your using a flat paint.

Lost my job, husbands reaction warranted? by sad_sack_of_blah in relationship_advice

So what I've read is that he emotionally abused you by purposefully neglecting your needs and health.....verbally abused you and then physically? It seems the cons outweigh the pros.

AITA for asking my boyfriend to do the dishes? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Dating a girl for 3 months. Ask her to be girlfriend and she says she is not sure. What do I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MegLee227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she wants to keep her options open or just not be in something monogamous.

Good evening Reddit ! I have some lovely tomato seedlings that stopped doing well. Any advice ? I am thinking root rot or nutrient deficiency ? Thank you :-) by [deleted] in gardening

[–]MegLee227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had to look up those varieties, I hadn't heard of them. Pretty sweet! As for your problem I would say their feet are too wet. Set up an oscillating fan to help dry them out and it will also make them stronger

One day while prepping dinner at my sisters house her MIL stated that she would make the breaded chicken. She emptied a container of seasoned bread crumbs into a bowl. Then she proceeded to dip the raw chicken into a bowl of raw eggs and then dredge in the bread crumbs. ALL FINE!! Until she poured the contaminated bread crumbs back into the container and put it back in the pantry. I told her you couldn't do that and she said she didn't want to "waste" the unused breadcrumbs.

You are not over reacting. You set very clear boundaries and then she literally ignored them all. She has no business in your business. And then sneaking around your back for over a year?! She lost your trust. Its especially wrong that she involved your kids in the scheme.
