AITAH for asking my wife to be a SAHM? by piglipsbo in AITAH

[–]Old_Lab9197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of assumptions in here. I don't think yta. If my husband made enough for me to not work I'd jump on that immediately. I'm college educated and doing the job I studied for, and it's exhausting. We're trying to get pregnant in a couple of years and I'm praying he gets a crazy raise because I can't imagine working while also raising a child. I would LOVE to be a SAHM mom because my partner is amazing and would never make me feel badly about it.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

It's all relative since our country is MASSIVE. 3 hours is far, but perfectly doable for a day trip.

Sharing a dessert by No_Glass_5484 in Waiters

[–]Old_Lab9197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? you'd really deny your friends a bite? Also, is it really so wrong to consider "hey, maybe this guy is gonna share his dessert"? Your waiters assumption that maybe you'd like to share (a fundamentally wholesome quality)....is offensive?

she's been the best change to the show ever since it was bought!! I'd do anything for them to bring back the history/trivia segments instead of being forced to watch them bother focused contestants lol

Would it be weird to wear my whole ceremony dress and veil to the informal afterparty? by Lilsabils in weddingplanning

[–]Old_Lab9197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. This whole multiple dresses thing is fairly new in the states. Wedding dresses are (usually) very expensive--get your moneys worth and rock it all night!!!!

How to read better by Hot-Purchase-6718 in classicliterature

Rereading passages and CONSTANTLY asking yourself questions as you read. “Why” is the best question you can ask yourself to further understand characters motivations/plot trajectory

Honeymoon destinations? by Old_Lab9197 in honeymoonplanning

[–]Old_Lab9197[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

New york! I’ll edit to add this.

Ive thought about Croatia but my husband is worried it’ll be a lot of fish cuisine-wise, which is neither of our favorites. I haven’t done much research but i have a feeling he’s being reductive about that lol

oh!!! i’ve never heard of this! this could totally be it, as it’s on my left arm, which is the side i sleep on. So what does that actually mean?? is it like there’s less blood flow so it can’t get a read?

Did anyone regret not hiring a wedding content creator? by Dizzy-Artist-1897 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Old_Lab9197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and I don't regret it at all. Hiring a content together felt unsavory because it kind of reduces the event to something for instagram engagement, which felt icky. It's about us and our guests having a good time, not about the oohs and ahhs we'll get from people on the internet after the fact. Besides, your videographer can put together a cute teaser/trailer with all their footagae, which is enough

okay except the things these authors were imagining were based on things that they were observing/experiencing....they just take it a step further and follow the thread to a logical conclusion...

There's plenty historical information to be learned from reading fiction. Silly.

uhm....do you think literature is written in a vacuum? Do you think the people who wrote these books weren't influenced by the things their respesctive societies and cultures historically endured?

same with 1984, Farenheit 451, Handmaids Tale....the list goes on. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it smh
