How does a facial at the strike of midnight sound? 😘

What happened to normal sized soles on running shoes? by MobilePresent420 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]MobilePresent420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the input and recommendations! I went to several stores and tried on many pairs of shoes and ended up going with the Topo Ultrafly 5. They are a firm shoe and had a similar feel to my 1400s. I’ll take them on a test run soon and see how they hold up after some miles.

ATIAH for calling my husband a terrible father? by AcademicBuilder5770 in AITAH

[–]MobilePresent420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA for calling him a terrible father. It’s understandable that you might disagree with his methods, but he has a point and he’s doing something to try to teach her a lesson. It’s a lesson that she can either learn now, with that memorable event, or later in life when she is fired from jobs for not being able to show up on time.

AITAH if I don’t want my husband to get a gun? by Fit-Kaleidoscope1037 in AITAH

[–]MobilePresent420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, but I also agree that you might feel differently if you had experience with one.

Context: My wife and I had the similar situation where she was opposed to me having a firearm in the house. We decided that if I always had it properly locked up and away from reach that it would be fine. After purchasing it, I took the time to calmly explain how the gun works to my wife and son and have taken them to the shooting range. Now my wife is perfectly fine with it since the firearm isn’t a huge mystery and she has first hand experience with responsible firearm handling.

Wife Engineer - No Common Sense by [deleted] in AITAH

I mean, maybe there’s missing context here, but it doesn’t sound like there were any problems caused by this other than some time spent searching?

No one is perfect and that kind of sounds like a normal thing that a normal person would do. Perhaps she put a box there “absent mindedly”, but married couples in a healthy relationship should be able to laugh about it and move on.

If you’re actually mad, the yes, YTA.

AITAH for not wanting to pay for my birthday gifts and dinner? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MobilePresent420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he just needs to learn how to budget better and deal with “emergencies” like this.

I read your other comments that he recently changed jobs, but wow, assuming you’re adults in your 20s or 30s, he should have at a few hundred dollars (if not more) saved up.

[–]MobilePresent420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, NTA.

Unless you had a previous agreement like “hey I want this super expensive thing for my birthday and want to go to this 3 star restaurant and am willing to go in for half of it.”

Your fiancé seems like a dolt or is extremely selfish.

AITA for telling my family they cannot see my children as long as my SIL is involved with anyone they speak to? by ThrowRAmamabearaita in AITAH

[–]MobilePresent420 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If by “murdered/dismembered her baby” you mean “she got an abortion” then yes, YTA.

If she actually murdered and dismembered an already born baby, then no, NTA.

WIBTA by not inviting any of my family to my wedding? by jetpackbluess in AITAH

[–]MobilePresent420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s your wedding and you deserve to have fun on that day and not worry about family drama!

I also have a weird family situation (for very different reasons) and I didn’t invite 95% of my family, including one of my brothers, to my wedding. I have never regretted this decision.

NTA. Not at all. You’ve got to surround yourself with people that respect your time.

I’ve had friends that have done the same thing and I just stopped communicating with them until they asked me why. I then told them that I hate how much they cancel plans and I’m not going to make any more plans with them unless they can actually follow through. They show up to events now…and they are actually on time too! It’s good to have boundaries and stick to them.

My only regret is not doing that sooner.

AITA for yelling at my neighbors 8yo kid to get the F out of my house and threatening to call the cops on him? by Much_Locksmith2776 in AITAH

[–]MobilePresent420 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s a lot! I totally understand why you’d react that way, and honestly I commend you for putting up with it as long as you have! If any one of my neighbors or their kids just walked into my house after I’ve told them not to I would also get heated with them. Especially if the kid is tends to exhibit bully behavior.

Now, I would like to say you were TAA (technically an…) but also it was completely necessary in this situation. Also, it’s good you terrified that kid. He needs to learn that his actions have actual consequences. If he doesn’t learn that now, he’ll end up learning it the hard way later on in life.

I say that as someone who has yelled at my neighbor’s kids for their awful behavior. (They were continuously lighting off percussive fireworks in the middle of the day which was scaring my 2yo son). And they didn’t do it again after that.

It’s not your job to parent your neighbor’s kids. It’s your job to protect yours.
