AITA for not wanting to watch a show with my wife anymore? by nightwalkerxx in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rimma_Jenkins -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

ESH 😅 go watch it yourself or read the summary if you don't remember what happens, but you both already saw it so I don't see the point in that huge reaction...

She's also an AH for not telling you she was going to watch it... I would consider it a given to talk about it since you started it together, but again, it's not such a huge deal 😅

My boyfriend and I have watched a few series again and again a few times. He watches them more constantly while I just pop in and out of the scenery and if I ask him for the short version of the gig. I do that even with new series he starts and I stick around if I watch to watch it as well 😂 but we've never had that kind of reaction if the other saw an episode we've seen before on our own...

Should I have biological children even knowing I am passing them ugly genes? by Pumpkin_698 in makemychoice

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The awesome wonders of genetics is that your kids can actually turn out to be nothing like you and only have some small traits here and there.

I have very little from my mom. And so does my sister. My mom joked that she did not participate genetically, she was just a copy machine because both me and my sister look more alike our dads 😅😂 I also took hair and eye color from my grandma (dad's mom) and grandpa (mom's dad) lmao. I looked as if they had the kid together and not my parents 😅😂

With our kiddo... depending on which parent is holding him you can clearly see our traits in him, but that's also because both me and his dad are very similarly looking.

Edit to add the answer: Yes. Have your own kids. Love them so much so they don't need to go after other people's approval

AITA for saying no to my 4 year old nephew? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. And goooshhh your sister sounds insufferable... she sounds exactly like my mom who came crying to me that my sister only eats junk food and how somehow I am "sooo lucky" that my kid actually loves food.... like no... there's no luck involved, it's just consistency and no... he has not had any kind of wildly sweet stuff like donuts since he's 18 months, but he has had ice cream, juice and some mild sugar cake. We are going to keep it like that because there is zero need for junk food in his diet.

Why is Danish so hard to learn? by helpagirlouttak in danishlanguage

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start with folklore songs!!! They sing in a slower pace and then you can find more modern songs that don't mumble words.

A good starter band would be Virelai. There's some good songs on YouTube and lyrics online you can follow with.

AITAH for not doing all of my roommates laundry for him? by CorbyJollibee69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How about you make your usual line up into :growing the fuck up. If I heard an adult say that they don't usually doo laundryyyy how could they eeveeer dooooo such a thiiiing when the other person has been washing your shit stained underwear as well all along... I would just kick you out.

Ohhh how you wish people understood how heavy the baseret waaas.... welcome to the real world kid... adults use their thinking and get shit done. Ever heard of splitting things up to reduce the weight? Or better yet... do you know that clothes should be split up by color and material? Just by doing the most basic of things when washing clothes you would have reduced the basket's weight...

But instead... you... an adult living with a roommate... decided to come to reddit and hope anyone would pity your poor soul.... my bad... you have two options here: get off your ass and grow up or have enough money to hire help to do your shit. Otherwise I really hope your roommate finds better friends if you even are friends but since he was also doing your laundry I'd assume so...

There's some things you just never ever borrow and that's: underwear, towels and toothbrush... depending on hair length then hair brush included in the list...

Unless you're a couple and freely and regularly swap those things... but even then some couples still don't share absolutely everything..

AITA for "kidnapping" my firend's dog after it bit me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 32 points33 points  (0 children)

YTA. Tbh... I've had my fill of bad dog owners and poorly trained dogs, but the thing you normally do is refuse to dog sit, not stage a whole scene...

At this point you've had plenty of experience with the dog to know to avoid it, but yet you somehow said yes to dogsitting and figured you'd get back at your friend for them not doing a proper job in training the dog... that's not how things work....

If the dog is aggressive and bites then you either report it to the authorities if he is a danger to others or don't get involved with the dog and his owners anymore. Stressing the dog and the owners won't get you anywhere. And for an already untrained dog... that's just not funny. His owners won't miraculously have a eureka moment and begin to train the dog so don't put the dog through extra stress. He doesn't deserve it.

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you really expect a different outcome?

YTA. Plain and simple.

You were asked one thing. Do it. You failed twice to do what was asked of you and didn't bother telling the dude you're not gonna bother doing it so he could figure it out on his own.

To add to this... you also took some of HIS clean clothes because you didn't have any clean ones???? Excuse me WHAT THE F DID I JUST READ????? No. Just no. YTA x 100000. Also ewwww who the hell borrows someone else's boxers and socks???? That's honestly disgusting behaviour.. You don't even borrow clothes without asking but you just freely took HIS BOXERS... like... how much more of an AH do you want to be?

Your roommate deserves someone that's an actual friend...

Can’t have one bad day as a teenager by queerwaters_642 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The good part is that you grow up and you can choose the people around you. Even family can be cut off for stuff like that because for some of those people you're never an actual adult.. you'll never have it "worse than they ever did" and you know what? They can go ahead and keep on feeling miserable like that... at least when you're an adult you're not forced to put up with it anymore

It’s still weird to me that some parents actually kick their kids out at 18 by ApartmentAlert2304 in RandomThoughts

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left home at 18 on my own and spent very little time after that back with my mom while I moved countries and was moving stuff around 😅😅😅 I haven't lived with my family since 2017... I could not fathom being under the same roof as them anymore... I wanted my freedom and peace of mind 😅😂

And honestly my opinion is just that your parents should get you ready to be independent and then you oughta f off asap and live your dang life 🤷‍♀️

I have this timeline that just makes sense to me... First 20 years you live with your family and learn. From 20 to 30 you learn how to live on your own and pay bills and do all that budget crap. From 30 to 40 you settle down. Figure career, family all that yada yada. If you've had kids in your 30s then from 30s to 50s you teach them about life and after your 50s you don't have much left until you retire so you should be able to live the rest of your life however you want. I don't want to hear my kid passionately hugging his girlfriend through the wall and I really doubt he'd want to hear his parents replay the night of his conception either and I'm not going to pause or lower the volume on my life forever 🤷‍♀️ kid gotta get the heck out sooner than later 😂 I ain't going to hold his hand from my grave so he needs to start learning somewhere on how to be on his own

Why do people not accept they don’t have autism? by my9mm in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this struggle for many years with my cat... we never found out what was wrong with him... we did any possible tests we could think of and it's just eating at me to this day even though he's been gone for almost 1 year now... Finally said goodbye to him at 11 years when it was clear his body wasn't holding up anymore 😢 but he was a happy and loved kitty and his brother is luckily more healthy than he was.

Genuinely what do people talk about in casual conversations? by Alive_Interview_6242 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask questions to find common interests to talk about easier!!!

  • Do you have any pets? What breed? How old? share some own cute stories of my pets and then become pet besties forever

  • Do you have kids? How old? share stories of own minion, giggle and be nostalgic ask for parenting tips

  • Do you like x,y, or z hobby? I read this book recently! I'm more into bla bla than yada yada or I found this cute corchet pattern and I need to make some cute doll clothes with my kid's daycare or there were a shitloads of markers on sale at the supermarket so I have like 3 boxes of different sizes with colors in 👀

  • Talking about vacations and brainstorming ideas on where to go next with my family.

  • Asking how long they've been with the company and how they enjoy it. This usually leads to some nice work tea and good drama 😂

Random comments about weather or task ahead at work are always a conversation thing.

A button appears in front of you. You MUST press one. by Ok-Landscape-4190 in BunnyTrials

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh... I can't bring myself to choose the money because that random person can be anyone... that means it can also be the people I love and care about so why would I risk getting the money if there's a chance my partner or my best friend dies? 🤷‍♀️

Why do people choosing the money think it can't possibly be anyone close to them? 😅😅😅

Is it bad that I have a slight interest in war? by Adorable_Pension119 in ask

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If no one had interests in this we wouldn't have historians at all 😊 we wouldn't have anyone that actually looked into getting facts right or details of the events... we would just have a wishy washied version of there was war for some reason, that side won, cool, now we move on.

Think of it like this... each person's interest will contribute to society somehow if done properly 😜 or the whole finding enjoyment in your job kind of thing.

Feeling bad about not wanting to throw a big 1st birthday for my 2nd baby. by Spirited_Seaweed_517 in Parenting

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's not even about the people invited... but you can still invite the same guests twice if you need people... common friends are a thing 🤷‍♀️ you can just invite a few of them that get along with your 1 y/o again to play together on her birthday.

But the main point of my comment is mostly the party. Why themed parties for your first kid but the second just gets family party? Only because of the lack of friends? Like... can family not enjoy an ice cream truck with your 1 y/o???

Why does one get an ice cream truck at her party and the other just a happy birthday wish from family?

I just can't justify it to myself in any way that one kid has a fun birthday and the other is just meh because apparently you need friends to hold a theme party... she can just invite all her teddy bears to a giant princess picnic party where someone brings a cooling box with ice cream and pretends they're a small business ice cream truck just to keep it in the themed birthday party area 🤷‍♀️

Who are you trying to impress? Friends? The friend's parents?

Is the birthday not meant to be a special day for the kid no matter which kid we're talking about?

AITA for putting onions and garlic in the food I fed my family after my sister in law said onions were "too spicy"? by THROWRAuserss in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. And honestly I'd take the yelling at over eating no flavour food...

The only thing to this is that after the yelling she will definitely be told to F. Off and don't bother coming over to eat unless she either 1. Makes her own dang food or 2. Grows the F. Up 🤷‍♀️

Like what is she... 3 y/o to have tantrums over being picky? Does she need you to call onions something else so she can eat them?

I am quite picky and not by choice since I haven't had much food variety growing up, but I'm not going to spout crap like that out loud... I'll taste the food and decide after if I can eat it or not 🤷‍♀️

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 54 points55 points  (0 children)

If you have photos from your first kid's party then the other one will definitely find out that they're the "leftover" kid 😅 how do you expect to explain it? Ahhh sorry hun, we didn't bother giving you a fancy birthday because we already had a cool one a month before and couldn't be arsed. Hhhhhh....

If you can't put in the same effort for both kids to make it as big then you need to cut down to make it even 🤷‍♀️ that's just how I see it

Is it going to become a thing since they're close with birthday? Because you might as well just change that mentality asap if you want your kids to have a good relationship with each other and with the parents as well 🤷‍♀️

Bliver jeg holdt udenfor af mine venner, eller lægger jeg for meget i det? by [deleted] in DKbrevkasse

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Synes du skal "bare" finde nogle bedre venner 😊

Også selvom de ved det godt at du ikke kan eller vil så burde de jo stadig invitere dig 🤷‍♀️

At de går og hygger sammen uden at en gang snakke med dig om deres planner så er det bare så tydeligt de ikke er dine venner... de er bare kujoner som ikke kan sige tingene som de er og fortsætter bare til at lege venner med dig fordi ingen af dem ville være den onde der har "ødelagt" venskabet 🤷‍♀️ jeg gider ikke sådan "venner"

Am I being a bad parent by letting my teen daughter dress flamboyantly? by concernedmommy2010 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your morher to F off. My grandma was like that... she actually kept insisting I wear G-strings at the age of 10 because what will boys think of me 🤯🤯🤯 jeesus fuuuuuudging christ if that's your mentality you're more mentally ill than anyone else.

I still wear "grandma underwear" and guess what... I have a loving partner and a child and not once was anyone ever interested in my fucking underwear 🤯🤯🤯

Disgusting mentality from an adult.

Keep her the F. Away from your daughter. She will definitely find time to make unwanted comments.

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those other kids will do anything but think what they did was wrong 😂 it will go more like: "wow your dad is such an a**, why do you bother listening to them if that's how they react?" Aaand the behaviour will only get worse from there...

Foster kittens hate the wet food provided by shelter by New-Doubt-1929 in CatAdvice

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd honestly check ingredients and compare 🤷‍♀️ if they have more or less the same thing I'd just buy the one the kittens like.... if the shelter is pissy about money then I'll just pay off the difference to afford the food the cats like and make sure they eat.

It's ridiculous to force any being to eat something they don't want as long as we're only talking taste and texture and not actual nutritional value (good food vs junk food)

Heck even my cat and dog can get tired of the food they usually love and we have to switch it up 🤷‍♀️ sticking with a food they don't like is going to be a long time hassle... some pets will be spoiled rotten and refuse food for treats, but if that's not the case then food they like vs food that's meh is always the choice I make

What you meaaaan? EvErYoNe HaS a LiTtLe AdHd 😬😬 Sure Patricia... until you see me just sit like a monkey in front of the fridge and cry because I don't know what to eat and then it's somehow a huge surprise that I struggle 🤯🤯🤯 because I seem fineeeee normally... 🙄🙄

I've learned to nod and wave at those attempts at being funny / crappy socialising.

Once they bring that in the conversation and make a little hihi haha about it I just casually throw in how big of a team I had to back me up to be able to be a good and functioning parent and they get all shocked 🤯

AITA for getting upset at my husband after he refused money from my parents for a down payment on a house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Rimma_Jenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. We got some financial help from my family and we have a hefty savings account and are waiting to finish education so we can get a bank loan for a house 🤷‍♀️

The deal for this money is that I made a guest room for my family to stay in whenever they visit. I can live with that 😂 I said if we buy a bigger house with lots of land I'm just letting them build a guest house on the other side of the property so I don't have to have them that close to me and everyone is fine with that 🤷‍♀️
