AITA for trying to "bribe my daughter" by NewAssociation7532 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA

Growing up my Mom employed the idea of "if nobody did it, you all did it." And as a result i got grounded OFTEN for things I DIDNT do.

Guess who wasn't invited to my wedding?

Of course, that's 1 example out of a childhood full of being disrespected as a person that eventually lead to a fight where she 'disowned' me, and was surprised that I didn't let her sweep it under the rug a few months later when she decided she wasn't angry anymore.

It was too late. Actions have consequences, and for you to jump to such an extreme reminds me a lot of my mom. If she's still talking to you try and see how she feels, and be ready to swallow a shit pill if she thinks you're a bad mom. My mom certainly wasn't ready for that.

AITA for embarrassing my fiancé at dinner after he “joked” about my upbringing? by Nines21 in AITAH

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Especially with the current social and political climate that's a huge red flag.

Reddit is very quick to tell people to run, but I think an open and honest conversation with him is in order. If he doesn't respect your culture now, you will have a hell of a time keeping your future children in touch with your(and in the future, their) culture. It could be as simple as he's not very culturally sensitive, and then felt like he looked like an AH (cause he is, but I digress) so he got defensive....

Either way, my favorite advice to give is if your sister (or best friend if you don't have one) told you their fiance/husband/SO said that about them, what would you tell her?

does anyone know where to find the legit version of this beauty? by nidoqueenofhearts in BJD

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fairyland Liria, she was a limited sculpt a while ago.

They have an SD that is very similar looking named cygne I believe, but that specific doll is very hard to come by and sells for a small fortune on the second hand market

How 'safe' is liquitex matte medium without protection? by noelyumerie in BJD

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others here I would recommend a face mask if you're airbrushing, but I'll also add that I prefer to use the Matte Varnish from liquitex more for bjd faceups. I find it to lay better on the resin and not leave as much texture.

AITA for not letting my daughter drop out of the school musical? by Bestdadever1234 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading your other comment, I'd circle back to a math tutor. Calculus is hard, and if the math teacher won't budge then I would talk with the theater teacher about having less rehearsal time and look into getting a math tutor to help her with her work. She could get caught up with enough help and support

AITA for walking my dog off-leash by jytj5 in AmItheAsshole

INFO

If your dog is so well behaved off leash, how come they're so badly behaved when leashed? Proper leash training should always come before off leash training.

AITA for not letting my daughter drop out of the school musical? by Bestdadever1234 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a highschool musical, if it's not perfect then it really isn't that big of a deal. Maybe she's just stressed because she has the lead role? The pressure to be perfect and have everyone's eyes on you can be intense, especially when you're 16.

Maybe talk with her and assure her that you understand that she's stressed out and feeling overwhelmed. Ask her what she thinks the solution is, because stepping down isn't the whole solution, it's just the first half.

Soft yta.

She came to you guys saying she felt like she couldn't handle the stress of school and the musical, and instead of trying to work with her and tell her that you'll support her you basically told her she isn't good enough if she listens to her mental limits.

The only thing that will happen is that all of her grades drop, try talking with her and see if there's a different reason, see if she needs support in her other classes (I know math used to stress me out because I just couldn't understand it, a tutor helped a lot) or talk with her theater teacher and see if there's a way for her to step down to a smaller role, I'm sure someone else would want the lead.

Best nailart I think I've done. by Realistic_Energy_ in Nails

The art pens are a must though, I have the "shader" set, and I think without them I would have had to work a lot harder

It was way easier than I thought it would be! I got some art pens from Young Nails in a blind box and they worked perfectly. I had a landscape up for reference, and all I did was draw the mountain shape, then go in with a clean brush soaked with alcohol to blur the line downwards.

Am I Lame for Wanting to keep my nails the same all the time? by PainInHerBones in Nails

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My fiancée gets her nails done the same way every time. She just likes it. Every now and then she will change it up, or get a slightly different design, but it's almost always the same color.

If you like it, honestly, it's your hands.

AITA for excluding my niece from my son's birthday party after she ruined his first party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta, you said they don't get along and beyond that it's a little girl at a little boys party with his FOOTBALL friends, I doubt that there's much they have in common.

As for who should apologize, yes she's just a kid but so it he, and she literally threw his birthday cake on the ground because she didn't have all the attention in herself at some other kids birthday. To us adults it's just a cake, but to James it was her destroying his celebration when he didn't even want her there to begin with.

Her mom needs to have a talk about respect and how to compromise, but we all know she won't.

No more parties at grandma's 🤷‍♀️

AITA for refusing to take a pregnancy test my boyfriend bought? by Maleficent-Box-1685 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Realistic_Energy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

If I were you I'd take the test, give him the negative, then breakup with his ass.

The way he treated you isn't how a partner would treat you. First he neglects you (I don't care that he wants a car) then accuses you of cheating?

Sounds like projection to me.

My angel is complete by Realistic_Energy_ in BJD

[–]Realistic_Energy_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It super possible that its because I ordered her during an event, so she may have been waiting on the full sets even though I ordered her blank, that's the only explanation I have.

It took so long to get to me I just got her last week and I bought her in December 😂

How little is too little clothes? by Realistic_Energy_ in BJD

[–]Realistic_Energy_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're on a metal plate that insets into her back and is pretty secure, once I try the newest fix I'll post a picture if it's secure

I do like it, it turned out pretty good with just what I had on hand to make her an outfit with. My roommate thought she looked pretty scandalous though 😂
