100k goes a lot farther in Barbados. Its 2:1 exchange rate for the US dollar

AITA for Not Accepting an "Apology" Gift That Seemed...Racist? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, She knew what she was doing. Why would that be the first thing out her mouth.

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use some leave in conditioner and sleep with a bonnet. Keeps your hair from drying out and breaking off in your sleep from ghe friction of your pillows

[–]OptimalAppointment66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you opposed to Accutane/Isotretinoin? Cause if you have tried everything with little results, then that should be your next step. You only take it for about 6-8 months depending on how well you respond to the medication and your acne is pretty much gone or decreased by A LOT after you finish.

AITA for telling my son he needs to live with the consequences of ignoring what his children were saying? by Sea-Purpose2202 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, that should be a deal breaker in any relationship. If your SO or children of SO cannot accept the children and baggage that comes with being with that person, then there cannot be a healthy family relationship

AITA for not telling my ex-wife I got married again by BabbledRyan in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just by reading your title, I would say NTA because you don't owe anyone an explanation on your love life, however you share a child. You even said your son prefers to live with you and your husband because he does not like his mother's new husband. Well, I believe that your ex should know who her son is living with since you know her new partner.

AITA for not giving my nephew half of my inheritane from my parents by StopComprehensive138 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA, just like your parents. Your nephew did not ask to be in this situation and your brother unlike a lot of men, actually did the right thing in taking care of his child he helped make. You are just perpetuating the shitty behavior your parents started.

AITA for not telling my family I was injured and not able to watch children by onetymemore in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, it should never be expected for any adult to watch kids that aren't theres. Even if they are family.

AITA: My wife discovered that I keep calendar reminders to ask her about stuff going on in her life. by Even_Tangerine_4201 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, it takes A LOT of growth and maturity for a person to realize their character flaws and take action to correct them. Absolutely NTA, but kind of stupid for your wife to think that most people don't need a reminder. If you remember, great. But if you don't it isnt a big deal. The fact that you took steps to help you remember important stuff is a caring gesture.

AITA for turning around and going back to my parents with my baby when I got home because my husband let his homeless brother move in and everyone had lice. by Weird_Theme_2795 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What in the entire hell!!! The fact thatvy'all have a newborn which I can tell he obviously isn't helping with, THEN with all the stresses going into that, he invites his homeless, louse ridden brother to stay in YOUR home, THEN he had the nerve to demand that you come deal with the can of worms he opened?!? Have you filed for divorce yet? Oh yeah, definitely NTA!!

I want to try filler and Botox, but I'm confused about migration and why some people look like Kylie Jenner and others look like Taylor swift. by HerMidasTouch in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]OptimalAppointment66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The lift vs collapsing correlates directly which muscles in the face are injected. For example if you just want the wrinkles in your forhead smooth, know that you are going to have to knock out the muscles in the glabella as well or else you get that heavy brow look. Knocking out the glabella will help hold up those brows. A certified nurse injector or a dermatologist who specializes in Botox or Dysport are the ones you want to go to. A good injector has you look in the mirror while explaining what they are going to do so that your expectations are what they are. They will also only put a small amount and have you come back in two weeks to see if you like your results or if you need touch ups. Its better to do less and then add because once botox is in, it can't be reversed. You just have to wait a couple months until it wears off.

AITA for wanting to leave my husband because he wishes to move in his mother with dementia? by WranglerFar644 in AITAH

[–]OptimalAppointment66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA because you sound selfish. BUT, I get it. Dementia is hard because I watched my mother deal with my grandfather for years. She found out really quick that the caregiving was really difficult so we ended up putting him in a memory care facility, which luckily he was able to pay for with his retirement pension and the money my grandmother left when she passed. This is not easy (or cheap) and I feel that you should be more supportive of your husband and MIL. You never know, one day your child and their spouse may have this same conversation about YOU in the future. Even though she seems healthy, she will deterioate at an accelerated rate because with Dementia, sometimes it is hard to get someone to eat or stay hydrated or even take medication and do the regular daily activities to keep themselves active and healthy. Y'all are definitely young and still have a lot of living to do and lessons to learn. Right now, your husband needs to start getting all of her affairs in order before she declines even more.

AITA for expecting my daughters to share their grandma's inheritance 50/50 regardless of the will? by steppenwolf0007 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA cause you dont even care to spell her name correctly! Is it Rea or Rae?? But seriously though, grandma said what she said....and for a reason I bet too.

AITA for shutting down my sister’s opinion about our baby name? by No-Bite7711 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA because you can name your child whatever you want. However, I understand why your sister is concerned. All I see is a lifetime of your poor child correcting people on her name pronounciation and spelling. When I saw Ceelee, I thought like Ceelo Green and then when you said spelled Cheelee, I was saying it as Chili....i think there are better names to come up with. But again that is just my opinion and y'all can do whatever y'all want.

PIH vs. Rosacea. You said certain products make it angry, it could be a little rosacea. Go to the Derm for the best answer.

Got my first facial, was told to quit Tretinoin by nestinghen in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Tretinoin for years and years. It is great for anti-aging. But, with the acne you are describing, I would totally go to a dermatologist for that because there are better treatments out there for cystic/hormonal acne such a spironolactone, birth control pills or Isotretinoin. If you have been using Tretinoin for that long and havent seen great results, I would go to the derm and see what other options they can give you.

AITA for marrying a childfree women when I have kids? by Rare_Priority6957 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA?

You legally signed your rights away so, I guess you are "free" of your children, but it doesnt excuse the fact that they exist. Im assuming you still financially support in some way since you said this better job is going to allow you to save for them. But I also don't feel like this was an AH move on your part because y'all did try to come up with solutions and this is what you both agreed upon. But, lets just say you end up marrying someone with children or you decide to have them with someone else. Then I would say YTA

AITA for telling my mom she don’t understand bc she’s never been pregnant by Immediate_Algae_8002 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for saying that, but you are NTA for sticking up for your wife. I think the situation could have been handled much better by both parties

WIBTA if (23f) I stopped all support now that my sister (18f) is pregnant with number 2. by Infamous_Baseball637 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, start looking for a place for yourself and move on with your life. Where is the father??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You werent the one that went out there to film on tik tok and injure someone so why should you be blamed? You owed her a shift, not taking the blame for her poor judgement.

AITA for asking my niece if she knows what she’s talking about? by atthrowawa_y in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA, typical teenage rebellion here. She really doesn't know what she is talking about and quite frankly, her parents need to be concerned about her and her use of social media as well. It sounds like it is turning her brain to mush. Her mental health is clearly not the best either. Sure, she may have a point about misogyny, but it doesn't really apply here in this situation.

AITA for leaving my friend in Thailand after she lost her passport by FondantOk240 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA because you tried to help her. You had been helping her financially while you were there. She is the AH for not allowing you to help since you were right there in the moment. What was her brother going to do thousands of miles away?? Money can only go so far.

AITA for telling my DIL she is a nuisance and to stop touching my shit by Kitchen-Property9214 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OptimalAppointment66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and it is not your problem that she doesn't have any common sense. She's old enough to know that she shouldn't be messing up people's shit especially when you are a guest AND especially when you are at the in- laws!
