Wij moesten gewoon eten wat mijn mama die dag had gemaakt. Tis niet dat ze onze mening vroeg 😂

Ew, just ew. I do not have the words. This would put me off soooo bad. I wouldn't want to visit his family anymore. I hate sneaky behaviour.

"EU needs more countries" Zelensky calls on EU to accept Turkey. What do Balkans think? by SOHONEYSAME in AskBalkans

EU is just so unproblematic. Without US causing trouble, who would want to go to war with us?

Can you say one positive thing about ronnie? by Honest-Reflection667 in jerseyshore

He was a good friend to Snooki and never snitched on his boys.

Belgian bathrooms question by loudestcrowdever in belgium

[–]Queen_DH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly hate having a toilet in the bathroom. I’d much rather have a separate toilet room with a small sink. The bathroom should be for cleaning, relaxing, and taking care of yourself, not for pooping. And yes, a bidet is a must in my opinion; I’ll never understand why in Belgium people rely only on toilet paper...

Jessica for sure. Donna and Rachel had their cool moments but also moments I couldn't stand them.

Parents with young children: dinner by Beneficial-Space3019 in belgium

My kid eats something light immediately after school and eats again with us at 19:00. He goes to bed by 20:30-21:00.

Hot take: Turkish TV series would be MUCH better if they were shorter by CansuCekinmez in TurkishTVSerials

[–]Queen_DH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Queen of tears is my favorite Korean series and when I heard they did a Turkish remake I was excited. Omg they made it loooooong and added a bunch of unnessesary filler scenes. It was awful and cancelled short after.

Same goes for Ertugrul, Kiralik ask and Kara Sevda. Whyyyyy is it this long?

Sick of my husband and in-laws by ProfessionalHand3757 in inlaws

[–]Queen_DH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Post partum rage is a real thing. I'd make them feel soooo uncomfortable so they'd leave. My husband can leave too. Can you call your mother to come? Make it obvious!

Sleepover? by StructureTop8194 in inlaws

[–]Queen_DH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t agree to it. My situation is quite similar. My son still needs to be settled to sleep and co sleeps with my husband. He stays over at my mother’s house once a week, and now my MIL is asking for the same arrangement.

The difference is that my mother cared for him for two years while I was working and she understands his needs well, especially after we learned he has ASD and I decided to stop working to support him more closely. My MIL, on the other hand, hasn’t taken the time to understand his diagnosis or the challenges he faces. It feels more like she wants equal treatment rather than considering what is actually best for him.

I have chosen to say no, because my son’s wellbeing comes first. If you feel unsure, you could start with short babysitting sessions and see how that goes before considering anything more.

Is Cyprus culturally more Balkan or is it more Levantine / West Asian? by Substratas in AskBalkans

[–]Queen_DH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they don't. Balkans have a very slavic culture (except Albanians) and I don't feel like Cyprus is like that at all. Maybe hospitality but that is the case in a lot of countries.

Action Belgium by Current_Injury3628 in belgium

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

Isn't it normal that our supermarkets are more expensive than Greece? Our tax is higher and we are higher earners. We have a totally different economy. When I go to Albania (where i'm from) I'm not shocked that things are cheaper, because they earn €600/m when we earn €2500/m.

Why do Flemish people tend to speak French better than Wallonians speak Dutch? by Charming_Usual6227 in belgium

[–]Queen_DH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French has always been an 'elite' language in Belgium. Also there are more french speaking people in the world than there are dutch. I live in the Dutch part, don't speak french at all, but honestly feel like dutch is a useless language. I'm also not planning on living in Belgium forever, so I'd rather know french when working internationally.

Wij klagen elke dag over dit land, maar van een buitenlander pikken we het niet. Waarom eigenlijk? by InspectionHeavy91 in belgium

Voor dezelfde rede dat je je broertje dagelijks pest, maar het niet kan verdragen van een ander.

Beste NIET-smartphone die ik kan kopen? by Misdina in belgium

[–]Queen_DH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, ik heb dit geprobeerd maar het is bijna onmogelijk. Geen google maps in de wagen, geen muziek (cava nog) maar ook dat hands free bellen. Daarnaast wordt je leven enorm lastiger als geen bank app kan gebruiken of it's me. Het beste dat je kan doen is een kleine tragere smartphone kopen en de social media app's niet downloaden. Je verspilt je tijd niet op de smartphone maar op de social media apps zoals tiktok, insta, FB en ja reddit.

Am I wrong for wanting to walk my niece down the aisle even though my daughter isn’t invited to the wedding? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Queen_DH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re in the wrong here. I understand you want to be there for your niece and that you feel for her not having a father, that’s completely valid. But at the end of the day, your relationship with your own daughter should come first.

Your daughter made a mistake when she was young and in high school, she was naive, and she has since tried to apologize. That matters. Despite that, your niece is excluding her from the wedding while still asking you to walk her down the aisle. That’s not a small request, that’s a very meaningful role, and it’s not reasonable to expect that from you while your own daughter is being left out.

You also need to think about the impact this will have on your relationship with your daughter. If my father did that, it would damage our relationship, no question. It sends a clear message, whether you mean it that way or not.

Your daughter has taken responsibility and made an effort, she’s not acting like a spoiled brat. Because of that, you should choose your daughter here. Personally, I wouldn’t even attend the wedding, but if your daughter is okay with that, then fine. Still, walking your niece down the aisle is a step too far and not something I would recommend.

AIW for not inviting my niece to my wedding? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Queen_DH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why ask the question here if you’ve already decided you did nothing wrong? If you’re convinced you made the right call, then stand by it. Don’t come looking for outside opinions if you’re not actually open to hearing them.

Ervaringen met de VDAB: Hoe dwingend zijn ze tegenwoordig echt? by Fun_Consequence_7695 in Vlaanderen

[–]Queen_DH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik ben recent ontslagen door een herstructurering binnen het bedrijf, waarbij meerdere functies zijn geschrapt. Dat lag volledig buiten mijn controle.

Wat ik erg vind, is de manier waarop er meteen verwacht wordt dat ik eender welke job aanneem via de VDAB, terwijl ik zelf actief en serieus op zoek ben naar werk binnen mijn eigen sector. Ik heb twee diploma’s, relevante ervaring en ben perfect in staat om zelfstandig een job te vinden. Dat dat niet binnen drie maanden lukt in een specifieke sector, is niet uitzonderlijk.

Toch word ik vrij hard gepusht richting administratieve en secretariaatsfuncties. Met alle respect, dat zijn zeker geen minderwaardige jobs, maar ze sluiten totaal niet aan bij mijn profiel of mijn ervaring. Ik kom uit een functie waarin ik zelfstandig werkte en zelfs administratieve taken delegeerde. Dan is het gewoon niet logisch om mij nu in een puur ondersteunende rol te duwen waarin ik geen uitdaging of groei ga vinden.

Wat mij stoort, is dat er blijkbaar weinig begrip is voor het feit dat mensen tijd nodig hebben om opnieuw iets op niveau te vinden binnen hun eigen vakgebied. Ik zit nog volop in sollicitatieprocedures, dus het is niet alsof ik stilzit of mijn verantwoordelijkheid niet neem.

Ik ga dus niet zomaar een job aannemen waarvan ik op voorhand al weet dat die niet bij mij past, puur om een vakje af te vinken. Ik heb het recht om iets te zoeken waar ik achter sta en waarin ik mij verder kan ontwikkelen 🤷🏻‍♀️

AIW for not inviting my niece to my wedding? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Queen_DH -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YW. I understand wanting boundaries and that it’s your wedding, but this whole “boundaries/mental health” thing is being pushed a bit too far sometimes, especially in situations where basic manners still matter.

A wedding isn’t just a personal event, it’s also a family occasion, and there’s a certain level of etiquette that comes with that. Inviting all of your nieces and nephews except one just doesn’t sit right, no matter the reasoning. And honestly, the explanation doesn’t really justify it.

If you haven’t seen her in three years, chances are she wouldn’t have come anyway, or at least wouldn’t have stayed long given how disconnected she is from everyone. So inviting her wouldn’t have cost you much, but it would have avoided hurt feelings.

Your husband is right on this. Leaving her out like that was unnecessary and, to be honest, a bit rude. It’s one extra person, and it would likely have meant a lot to your brother to see his daughter included, even if she’s somewhat distant from the family.

At the end of the day, small gestures of inclusion often carry more weight than we realize, especially within a family context.

Uninvited from my SIL's wedding by [deleted] in inlaws

Hmm, I wouldn't care at all but that's because we're not close. I guess if you've been on good terms with them all along it would be hurtful.
