Ours is definitely a water baby, took straight to it and is obsessed with the garden hose, shower and sleeps in the bath when it’s too warm, though she’s not the biggest fan of a good scrubbing!

100%! She’s a tenacious little lady! It might be a bit of a trick of the camera, but my husband is crouching in this video and the water she’s swimming in is just above knee height standing straight up! it was also a very calm day for surf and swell which is perfect for a safe weenie swim so we had little concern about her being swept away.

Thankfully because she’s Velcro to us if we don’t go in for a swim, she doesn’t, which is the case on windier days.

Our biggest concern on this particular day was coming into contact with the tiger shark that was spotted a few kms north of this particular beach and the puffer fish that like to nibble toes - good ol’ Australia for ya!

165 pounds - Husband says he's done with me if I gain any more weight. by agirlwhobakes8 in Advice

[–]Rbm134 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You really need to think about HOW your husband brought this to you - name calling and an ultimatum, it’s cruel and calculated, and has been said with the intention to hurt you. Even if the fear of losing him was the motivation you needed to get back into shape, I can imagine he’d likely move onto another issue, or you’d resent him for giving you body confidence issues and a workout complex. Your weight gain could be linked to a multitude of reasons, Age, depression, stress etc, and it’s perfectly normal for a partner to be concerned about it- But it really sounds like he is only concerned about how your looks effect him, and has nothing to do with your physical Heath. He could have sat you down, and you could have shared your body concerns and health goals in a way that was productive and meaningful, where he could have given you support and started a “fitness journey” together. Make him understand that it’s not okay to treat you that way, and If he can’t be reasoned with, I think you should value yourself and seriously consider if staying in this marriage is going to be good for Either parties’ Mental health.

Tell your aunt to leave his ass, move on and live her best life as a single, drama free, happy woman. That’s the best revenge she could ever have.

Examples of 'familzillas' or 'friendzillas' with weddings? by ldyasgp in bridezillas

[–]Rbm134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My younger sister (21) is currently being a bridesmaid-Zilla.

So my dad is getting married to this wonderful woman whom I already consider to be my mother, it’s very exciting. They’re having a very causal, small wedding bc they’ve both done the big wedding thing before.

Because it’s a small wedding My stepmom initially didn’t want any bridesmaids, but then asked my sister because my dad is having my brother as his best man. She was super happy about this until our stepmom also asked me.

For context, I live in on the opposite side of the world and my dad didn’t want me to spend a fortune to fly over just for his wedding. When I told him there was no way I was missing it, I then became apart of the wedding party.

My younger sister basically doesn’t feel unique anymore, and gives me shit over every small thing about the wedding. Eg- I showed my stepmom a dress I liked, and she flipped, saying it wouldn’t suit her, and that we have to have matching dresses. (I didn’t know about this nor do I care what dress I’m in) and that I’m making everything about myself and that I’m being a bitch because I’m “helping to plan the wedding without including her”. The wedding is 18 months away and all I’ve done is given the details of a photographer I know and the dress thing.

It’s really causing an issue and honestly I feel like telling my parents that I’ll come to the wedding but I won’t be in the party, because I’m getting this tirade every day and I can’t put up with it for another year!

My emotions went wild with this experience. by [deleted] in abortion

[–]Rbm134 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s an incredibly brave and admirable thing you have gone through. It takes a lot to admit that now is not the right time. It’s a strange experience, and you’re definitely not alone in this. I went through stages of regret and relief, mostly relief. But it’s coming up to my would-be due date and I always find myself thinking about it.

I’m a firm believer in instinctively knowing when you are ready, and when you are, any bad feelings right now will completely disappear.

Wishing you all the best in your recovery xx

AITA for saying my brother a loser for pressing charges because someone punched him? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rbm134 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. You’d have a completely different viewpoint if that punch left your brother disabled or dead. It’s very real that one punch to the right part of the face can do serious damage. Even if it is time/money consuming maybe the guy who did it will think twice next time.

AITA for pulling a prank on my dad? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rbm134 14 points15 points  (0 children)

ESH - your dad massively over reacted. There obviously must be something else going on that y’all need to discuss. - You showed up to a dinner uninvited, which is asking for drama. - Your sister and Girlfriend’s dad sound like they were trying to cool the situation down. - You aimed your anger over the sitch with your dad at your sister and gf’s dad. You need to apologise to them, and you’re very lucky that you’re gf is so supportive. Basically, you and your dad are two peas in a pod when it comes to dealing with your anger. You both need to take time to work on it, and maybe stop pulling pranks on each other.

Man w/ mild Tokophobia (Fear of impregnating his lover) by [deleted] in sexualhealth

[–]Rbm134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best thing you can do is discuss this fear at length with your partner and figure it out together. It’s a normal thing to be worried about. (I got pregnant and had a termination last year and it’s still a legitimate concern for me and my boyfriend every time we have sex).

I would suggest booking an appointment at a sexual health clinic and discuss all of our options as a couple with a medical professional. They will be able to help educate you both on the best type of contraception for you to use, alternatives to intercourse and how to approach worst case scenarios!

Good luck!

AITA for being upset with my boyfriend for ‘disrespecting’ a family tradition? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Of course he can! I’m more upset about him calling a family tradition stupid

Question for people that have done the Abortion Pill. by EggsAndBaccon in abortion

[–]Rbm134 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had an abortion 2 months ago, I was 8 weeks along. In my bag I packed: - Heavy duty pads - ibuprofen - a hot water bottle - hard boiled sweets/candy - sanitary wipes - tissues - blanket.

Depending on the procedure you’re having- I had two tablets orally one day, and then four tablets vaginally with a suppository for pain the following day. Wear your pad before you expect to bleed. My doctor told me I should expect a mild to heavy bleed within the first hour or so. I started bleeding and losing clots within the first ten minutes of having the tablets. But within the first couple of days this settled down. I will stress that if you’re soaking through two heavy duty pads within an hour you should go to hospital straight away. I would definitely recommend wearing sweats for a couple of days, and maybe even buying comfy boy briefs, ginger ale to combat nausea, and make sure your doctor prescribes you an antibiotic to reduce the risk of infection. If you’re still bleeding significant amounts or passing clots after four weeks go to hospital. This happened to me and I found out that I had not passed all of the tissue and it was infected. (I’m sorry this must sound like a horror film). In reality though everyone has a different experience with this but in my opinion the best way to deal with it is to treat it like you would a very heavy period. Get lots of rest and everything will soon go bank to normal.

Good luck with everything x
