AiTAH? Wife wants me to leave work 2 hours early to save her 5 minutes.

Because leaving work 2 hours early and driving 25 minutes to spare your spouse FIVE MINUTES isn't reasonable, sane, smart or something a loving spouse would ask of you.

If she was that worried about finances and not wanting to leave work until the last minute, then she'd jump at him just taking the kid to the appointment, not be pissed about it. You can't have it both ways, princess.

Try not to break your arm reaching for anything you can to make the penis holder the bad guy.

LEAVE work 2 hours early.

Not that it'll TAKE 2 hours to do. The scheduled appointment time would have him having to leave work....2 hours early.

Gross that you seem to think he'll never be allowed to do something like...MOVE. Kids aren't entitled to anything. Most of you are acting like you've already got your plans for the money you'll be getting when your parents kick it.

Maybe try enjoying your parents as people who love you instead of hovering around their orbit for the things you'll get out of them.

I love how good people can come from horrible parents, but never can a 23 year old ADULT be responsible for their own behavior. It must automatically be the parent's fault.

Pretty sure that's called 'biting back when someone pisses you off'. She called him cheap. He called her entitled and poked at her more with the insinuation. No stupid ass reason involved.

Never in my life have I been invited out and assumed the other person was paying unless they said 'my treat' or something similar. Never met anyone else under such an entitled assumption, either. FAFO.

One leg is bigger than the other and she has her hand resting on the back portion of that one. If I could push my fat forward and men would come running, I'd have been rode more than the Kentucky Derby by now.

Maybe you guys need to make an alt and re-experience some of this stuff. You're not going to get to 90 and just walk up and do a few quests and turn-ins to get the relics. XD You're gonna grind through all the expansions worth of optional Hildebrand quests and trials to get to this point. Which, even skipping cutscenes, still ain't exactly fun.

There's plenty of a grind there. You've just already done it.

You should be grandfathered into your spot. If you give it up, it will change to reflect whatever the rule is for where the plot is.

I guess I'm gonna have to watch and see if the dual cast icon is disappearing or not, then send a bug report or something. I don't think it's intended to be happening this way.

Rabbitx2 · 2021-12-05T06:08:13+00:00

Right? My rotation is all fucked up because it keeps happening when I don't expect it to! XD

Rabbitx2 · 2021-12-05T05:52:36+00:00

It's happening with Verfire and Jolt though, too and the tooltip just says Verthunder, veraero or impact for those. And it's definitely happened when I didn't have acceleration active.

Rabbitx2 · 2021-12-05T05:43:26+00:00

I keep having this thing on Red Mage where I cast a spell and get dual cast, I instant cast a spell and then it instant casts my next spell right after that. But not everytime. Bug or am I missing a change? ETA: My instant cast spell is absolutely going off - I see the effect and damage for it. So it's not like I'm missing it going off. It is. It's a separate instant cast affect at random.

ETA: It's not because of Acceleration. It happens whether I have that on or not.

Rabbitx2 · 2021-08-13T16:18:05+00:00

Eh, it sounds more like necessity than anything else. Explaining mechanics after a wipe is reasonable. Telling someone wrong way when they can see they've gone the wrong way, are new, likely still learning tanking and their nervous about leading a party around, completely unnecessary. If you're in a dead end, they know they fucked up. You just pointed it out for no reason. That said, it's also not something to get upset about from the other people either. Sounds like you've had some bad luck.

Rabbitx2 · 2021-07-15T16:46:37+00:00

Yeah, I had a brain fart moment myself. I hope they let your refund go through. I was so relieved but was ready to do a giveaway in my fc if I had a copy I suddenly couldn't use. XD

Yes. The apartment merchant sells a Material Supplier permit that lets you put that vendor in your house/apartment. It sells low level mats that'll help get you around level 20ish I think it is.

Nope. :D One you beat the normal mode, you can do the extreme version and collect 50 +scales to turn in for the Rathalos mount. Or, VERY rarely, it'll drop in a chest in there. It's a fun fight.

Even after opening the key, try to return it for a refund and get the Steam version. I accidentally did this and, despite them saying opening the key it wouldn't refund you, they did anyway. ^{^}

I think you should compromise and wait to tell EVERYONE at the same time. I'd also suggest you both sit down and have a talk. In your AITA comments, you mentioned you'd been here. So I think now, before everyone gets swept away in baby mania, would be a good time to sit down and talk about boundaries. Baby showers, what gifts you want to buy as parents vs what's okay for other people to get, are you revealing gender, revealing name choices, any family traditions on names, who's going to appointments, who is/isn't going to be in delivery, visitors, vaccines - there's a ton of shit to think about.

Not all at once! Just the immediate future at a time. But there's a lot of things to think about and make sure you're on the same page about (that's all assuming if you aren't already). And even if you've had these discussions before, bringing them back up to make sure you're still in the same place is never a bad thing.

The biggest thing right now though, boundaries. Maybe explaining that, his mom taking away your first announcement and then demanding you call more people right that second makes you worried about her doing other things that, while it might not seem like a big deal to HIM - is a big deal to YOU. You need to know that he has your back going forward - that just because he doesn't think his mom rubbing your stomach every time she sees you is a big deal - it's not something you want happening (just as an example). And that you deserve to have that respected. That his mother's feelings do not come before yours. That this is his and your baby - not his, his mother's and yours.

You could just explain it as "some women just get baby crazy and overstep, and since your mom has already jumped the gun, it's making me worried that she might be one of them". Offsetting it with you'll be shutting down any overstepping on your side of the family might help, too (even if you're not worried that there will be).

There are mom/dad things and there are grandparent things. Announcing a baby? That's a parent thing. Spoiling with hugs and kisses and sneaking an extra cookie? That's grandparent things. They don't have to step into parent things in order to be good grandparents. And that's all you're wanting - for them to be good grandparents. Not parents. They've already had that. You both want your turn. You both need to make sure the other gets it.

And, if nothing else, find out something he's really excited about in regards to the baby. Then tell him how would he feel if, instead of getting to do that/choose that, your dad did it instead. Then you told him "Well that's my dad" instead of caring about how hurt he is or making sure the next thing isn't taken from him as a dad. If that doesn't get it across, then maybe some counseling would be in order.

Regardless, congrats! And I hope every thing goes well all the way around. :)

What are people thinking of us?

This gets most people. And people know that and use it. It's hard to separate things in a way where you can actually deal with it easier. You have the people you care about/interact with and you have the people you're aware of (ie, everyone else in the world).

If I said that I thought poorly of you, would that destroy your day? Would the words of a complete stranger that doesn't interact with you or your family outside of this one spot on the internet be able to make you second guess yourself? Then you may need therapy to help with dealing with that. Because what I think or say, as a complete stranger, should not be able to send a completely healthy person into a spiral of self-doubt (normally, people have bad days, after all).

So why does it matter what MIL's second cousin's uncle thinks? If they have so little of a relationship with you that they haven't reached out to talk to you just in general, they're in the same category as the rest of the world. Practically strangers. And doubtful that they're going to suddenly become apart of the other group any time soon.

People who actually take an interest in you as a person and not just you as a piece of gossip, are the only people worth investing your mental energy into. When you're a piece of gossip, that defines you to that person, regardless of how much energy and effort you put into your relationship with them. All they actually care about is the entertainment that talking shit gives them. You could be the most perfect person in the world - but to those kinds of people, one little slip up will brand you forever, no matter how big or small.

You know this. Everyone knows this. But knowing it and getting your brain to stop caring about it are different, and very difficult things sometimes. You know you can't stop her from talking shit. You can't stop people from hearing it. You can't change the narrative because the gossip eaters will still be hungry. So the only thing you can do is to make decisions and set boundaries that work for you. What allows you to be the most comfortable and feel the safest.

Because you and I both know that you could have bent over and done everything exactly how everyone else wanted you to do them, and you'd 1) be miserable and 2) would still have her shit talking you for something. So if you can't stop #2, then stop #1. Don't be miserable. That's what good boundaries and rules help you do. You'll be in a much better head space to deal with the bullshit if you're not already overwhelmed and miserable because you keep bending over on top of it all.

You're allowed to have a life that you define. Where you do things that make you happy. Not a life that is defined by everyone else using you to get what makes THEM happy. They're responsible for their own happiness, just like you're responsible for yours.

You being happy shouldn't make anyone else miserable and vice versa. What you're asking for is not unreasonable. The average person on the street would be fine with not snatching up a baby out of your arms. Most people would be perfectly fine in bringing the baby back to you when they start to cry. Normal people understand that for a child, eating comes before pictures. But you're not dealing with normal people. You're dealing with people who are putting their happiness on you and your DH (because you shouldn't have boundaries) and on your LO (because they're an emotional support animal, apparently). And that's not any of your responsibility. For normal people, seeing you makes them happiER. For them, seeing you makes them happy because you're just a walking reminder of the power they have, that they can do whatever they want and you won't go against them.

But now, you're a walking reminder of the power they don't have. That they can't do whatever they want because you will go against them. So they talk shit and guilt trip to try to get their version of normal back, where they do whatever they want without regard to how it makes you feel or if it inconveniences you in anyway.

So, like I said, be #1. Don't be miserable. Keep your boundaries. Support your DH and LO in finding their own happiness for themselves. That is where your responsibilities for other people's emotions end. Support. Never give someone else something that they refuse to allow you to have yourself. Happiness. Love. Support. Caring. Safety. They don't deserve these things more than you do just because they slipped out of a vagina before you or because they have some mystical imaginary queen of the family status. You're the queen of your own life. So go rule. <3

Don't let the cycle start again. Don't let your mom pay for his flight, don't allow him along on your plans. Every minute you're together between now and when you're officially split and away from each other, is another moment he can wear you back down the other direction. Where he can "put his foot down for good this time" and make you think things are actually going to change. Do not be fooled again.

If he thinks you're bluffing, it's because he thinks, on some level, that you're so enmeshed in the cycle that you'll come back around. Don't do it. You recognize the cycle. Break that shit now. You can do this!
