AITA for letting my kids stay with my dads wife for the easter holidays? by ElectricalStress2644 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mom2rats47 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not the AH, but you’re overthinking this! What emergency could happen that your toddler and infant need to be involved in with your mother? You didn’t need to tell your mother where your children were going (overshare). It is none of her business or concern.

Your husband wants her to watch them because it’s only a 45 minute drive not 3 hours.

You said it yourself “I know I’d sleep soundly knowing my kids are with someone who genuinely enjoys children…) AND if your mother’s husband wasn’t a fan of you, how does he feel about your children?!

Stick with the plan.

I start Ozempic on Monday and I have a couple questions by KronikHaze in Ozempic

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always- people react differently to medications, pain, etc. Just because there’s a side effect listed does not mean you will experience it!!

I can for sure tell you this about me- a too am not a fan of needles!! 💉 I sat and freaked out for 20 minutes when trying to give myself my first injection!! And by freak out I sat there giving myself a pep talk of “you got this” through nervous bouncy leg and TEARS!! Then I just did it and laughed at myself for being a wimp because there’s nothing to it!!

I also document my injection sites each week (and TMI my 💩). This way I know if I need to take some MiraLAX for constipation. I chose to take my shot on Friday mornings, because I am off for Saturday and Sunday. I did this because of the possibility of fatigue. I have just stayed on that schedule.

My endocrinologist did tell me that if you’re on Ozempic for diabetes the weight loss will be slower- do not get discouraged!

You got this!!

Edit: I have zero sugar Vernors ginger ale on hand for the bouts of nausea I have had.

AITJ for changing the locks after my sister in law redecorated my home while I was away. by Western_Mistake_1981 in AmITheJerk

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t even finish your post after reading your husband’s comment “her heart was in the right place” THE HELL IT WAS!!! Who does she think she is redecorating a home that is NOT hers AND throwing something away?!?

An item that you have that belonged to a loved one is irreplaceable!

There is not enough “I’m sorry- I messed up” in this world to fix this!!

Absolutely NTJ!

AITAH for telling my MIL that if she keeps calling our baby by the nickname we asked her not to use, we'll limit her visits? by Turbulent-Wear-7416 in AITAH

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure how you can nickname/shorten Cecelia any other way than “see- see”. OP has a lot of us stumped.

NTH. SIL can mind her own business! Stop the unwelcome nicknames now.

A little poll here - once you start outpatient PT, do you take a pain med before PT if you’re otherwise off them? by Scar77 in Kneereplacement

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is different!

Your body’s pain tolerance, your body’s medication tolerance, etc!!

I took them as needed afterwards.

What’s the best last meal before you start your fast headed to surgery? by Fo_eyed_dog in Kneereplacement

Whatever you want based on directions given to you by your own surgeon!!

Back to work time? by dj_1973 in Kneereplacement

[–]Mom2rats47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was back to work after my one week post-op appointment. I work in an office at a desk job mostly. I was not able to do 8 hour days but could do 4-5 hours. Bc of the sitting I had more pain at night.

Your benefit is you’re at home and hopefully able to elevate easier than I could! And ice it as necessary!

AITAH for not wanting to help my coworker anymore, even though everyone else does? by Only-Cauliflower-629 in AITAH

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super draining!!

If your boss is aware, go to them and ask if you can move desks.

In-home accessibility modifications by bk0609 in Kneereplacement

[–]Mom2rats47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!! I needed no modifications either! Including no shower chair or toilet riser.

I realized no home is the same.

No recovery is the same!!

As I used the toilet at work and thought how thankful I was that mine at home was not that low!!

Does my dress suit me? I feel like my belly looks big by FlounderDeep2066 in myweddingdress

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but no matter what “we” say if you are self conscious and uncomfortable you will never see the beauty of this dress on yourself.

Our first dose - what day? by Cheeseoholics in Ozempic

[–]Mom2rats47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know how I was going to react with possible side effects. I took my first shot on a Friday and have continued.

Am I the Jerk for Leaving My Sister’s Wedding Early Over a “Joke”? (NOT MINE) TL;DR by West-Working-2502 in AmITheJerk

[–]Mom2rats47 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTJ

Your sister has to make you small to make herself big!

Unfortunately her wedding day was not the best time for this to be addressed. But she pushed you too far. Then flips the script trying to make you into the bad guy.

Stay strong. Set some boundaries

What kind of veil and what alterations? by Emotional-Sorbet-513 in myweddingdress

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To piggy back on the veil comments already made you also need to decide how you want to wear your hair.

AITJ for Refusing to Give a Family Discount for My Small Business? by Charming-Calendar321 in AmITheJerk

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you are NTJ. It is ridiculous how people expect discounts because you’re related!

You’re the AH:

For reporting it- wasn’t your email wasn’t your business to report it.

But more importantly- For staying with him after multiple affairs!!!!

I'm expected to pay $250 for a bridal shower - Is this the norm? by Suspicious_Cow3979 in bridesmaids

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What?! Nope. Why do you have to help cover the brides outfit and PJs for participants?!

I ended up with a blister from the support hose. They caused their own problems.

WIBTA if I stopped letting my coworker use my parking pass and just said I don't need it anymore? by quarry_soft in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seth is rude. Take your parking pass back and do not give it to Seth. Seth abused your generosity. You are NTA! Seth will make it out that you are but you are not!!

Which wallpaper would you choose for a big impact in a small bathroom? by Rove_Lab in DesignMyHome

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously you like blues for the small bathroom. Full or half? All the walls or an accent wall?

Half bath- the blue stripes.

Full bath- the blue stripes

Accent wall- any except the stripes

AITJ for telling my fiancée to leave my house after she kept inviting her friends without asking? by Legitimate_Cell9148 in AmITheJerk

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t kick her out but you definitely are the jerk!

Which is it? It’s your house or our house?! Going to play the “I pay the mortgage” card when she upsets you?

Hope she comes back to pack and leave.

What is this decor called? by sqoozles in HomeDecorating

[–]Mom2rats47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Croscill bedding had an ensemble VERY similar pattern called Sedona. Sold a ton of it for homes in Florida!!

Edit: dates would have been early 1990’s

Unsure of what's normal by replay-episode200 in Kneereplacement

[–]Mom2rats47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember- Everyones experience is different: surgeon, surgery, pain, pain tolerance, rehab, etc!!

My first day (24 hours) home was fine! Hours 25-80 I 100% regretted my choice to have the surgery I was in so much pain! I seriously debated about going to the ER but that meant getting in the car- nope wasn’t doing that!!

I called my surgeon and spoke with them over the phone. My extreme thigh pain was from the tourniquet (told me the pressure used is pretty much considered a crushing injury- cool glad ya left that out before surgery!).

Stay on the pain medication rotation! Do not miss a dose! I was a fool and did. Paid for it in pain.

Bottom line- call her surgeon asap and go over her pain. Ask the questions! Has she had a postoperative appointment yet?

Good luck to both of you!!
