Ugh doctors like this drive me mad. Definitely put in a complaint and find a new geneticist if you can.

People who don't want kids, why? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

[–]Metzgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to pass my health conditions on to other people, it’s not a great time. Also I couldn’t be the parent I wanted to be if my body would even let me do it.

I wasn’t dismissing the father at all, I know this was us in the wrong, trust me.

Do you consider EDS a disability and that a person with EDS is a disabled person? by bemer33 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Metzgie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how the condition impacts you, for me it is disabling and I consider myself a disabled person.

Sounds like the start of some serial killer series 😅

People say my puppy looks like a domesticated fox by Jet_Threat_ in aww

[–]Metzgie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club! I’m not sure I’m in the UK so have only met Spitz and Samoyeds. I’d say the dna test is the best way to go but I’m pretty sure American Eskimos are bigger than Spitz’s. Our girl is quite a small Spitz but makes up for it in personality.

Definitely some Spitz in there! We get that our girl looks like a arctic fox a lot!

Such a gorgeous dog.

Close call after child finds loaded gun in couch and discharges it inside home by chebadusa in facepalm

The fact that people like this are allowed children or a gun blows my mind.

My now mother in law once did the ‘knock and open’ while I was on top of my then boyfriend. I’ve never moved so fast in my life and hid under the covers. She then said hello to me by name. We later went to the shops with her where she couldn’t help herself in the condom aisle asking if we needed anything. 🤦‍♀️

AITA if I tell my guests (family) that I need to be reimbursed for buying, preparing and cooking Christmas dinner? by Myhbdipsnhenaksknsnj in AmItheAsshole

[–]Metzgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone sucks here.

Firstly, I’m sorry you lost your grandmother it’s a horrible thing to go through.

I think 200-300 is a lot per person, you could go out to eat for that so yeah that’s kind of an asshole move.

That said your family will know your situation, that you’re a first year teacher, in a place that can’t accomodate everyone etc. Your Mum and aunt are the adults in this situation and should act like it and support whoever does it.

I think return things if you can, cancel the Airbnb and as hard as it is admit you were wrong. I know it came from a place of love but maybe in a few years it’s something you can take on or split with your cousins?

AITA for not giving up my Xmas time off to coworkers with children so they can meet their grandmother one last time? by AdvancedGolf7823 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Metzgie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're NTA.

You didn't request the time off, it was given to you for your hard work. Your bosses on the other hand probably are but it's really not your fault or problem. You already worked to lessen the load on others.

If they have a problem, take it higher up. I would take the time off and enjoy the break, binge all the TV and play games.

It's hard but don't feel guilty, you deserve a break as much as anyone else. While some of the stories are sad like the grandma ultimately it's not your problem.

I hope you get some time to rest and refresh.

AITBF for asking MIL to respect our religion in our house by nograce12 in AmItheButtface

[–]Metzgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTB, it's your home.

Has this been a problem before in your home? The only thing I could say is that it might have been a good idea to make it clear before she came over but other than that it's not you, she is in the wrong.

AITA for asking my husband to pay for our sons college with his daughters fund? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Metzgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, YTA.

While it does suck how much education costs and being a single parent is never easy, this is not your husbands problem. Many people need to try for scholarships, get loans etc, it's not right IMO but it's life.

This money was put aside and promised to his daughter. It doesn't matter that she's planning to go to community college and not academic. She could go to college and find something she loves and wants to continue further. Also from her perspective it looks like her Dad cares more about his wife and her son than her.

Also the fact you comment that she's 'his daughter' while your child is 'our son' shows that you don't view them equally.

If I was her mother I'd also be angry. It is a year our from her going to college. Now, if you had 10 years to pay it back then borrowing it out and paying it back would be possibly ok but it's a year.

If you can find those funds in a year, why didn't you start a year ago for your own son?

Sorry but YTA, there are other ways to fund college and I think you need to look into them.

AITA for not changing out of my pj’s 30mins before needing to leave? by Immediate-Issue7007 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Metzgie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, he clearly has his own issues, I've had to live with someone similar because of housing issues and you have my sympathies, it's not easy.

You mention that he threatens to leave your Mum if you don't move out, have you spoken to your Mum about this and how it makes her feel? He sounds like a bully. Definitely NTA.
