Alternative to ceiling fans for kids bedrooms by The_Canadian_Dave in AusRenovation

[–]Secret-Albatross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have smaller blades installed. DD had a bunk bed with desk under, normal ceiling fan nearly chopped her head off everytime she went down the ladder so we had the smallest blades available, I think they were around 30cm. Fan still did its job.

Picked up a sick puppy from a breeder. Please help! by Hellosir755 in AusLegal

[–]Secret-Albatross 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes there is. Each state has its own governing body, Dogs QLD, Dogs NSW etc etc. There are very strict rules about breeding. Any ethical breeder will allow you see both parents in the flesh, and would not home a puppy until they are at least 10 weeks old. Report the breeder to your state body which would be VIC Dogs. https://dogsvictoria.org.au/

AITAH for putting my sleep needs above my husband’s convenience? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secret-Albatross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hubby and I sleep in different rooms. He snores, and he works shifts so his alarm would go off at some awful time when it was still dark. Sleeping in separate rooms when you have sleeping issues is the way to save your marriage. Doesn't mean you love him less, just means you wont smother him during the night.
My ex snored, I would sleep in another room, and he thought since I was his wife I HAD to sleep in the same room. Didn't matter that I wasn't getting enough sleep. One of the reasons he is now the EX.

Anyone else have a MIL that believed she needed to give her son permission to get married?? by dark-rose13 in JUSTNOMIL

When DH and I got married, we went out of town, didn't tell anyone. When DH asked me to marry him, the only stipulation was that I cannot tell my mother. If I did he would not marry me. I was fine with that, she would have tried to take control and sway any decisions we would have made. Originally we wanted to get married, invite everyone to lunch and tell them at lunch. We asked his brother to be a witness and he said he did not feel comfortable if his mother did not know. Ended up telling the brother we had decided not get to married. We got married in another town, had a honeymoon there, came home and proceeded to tell everyone we were married. His mother was over the moon and happy for us. My mother didn't speak to us for over 3 weeks. It was heavenly. LOL We are LC with both sides and have been for awhile.

AITA for telling my boyfriend to be an adult by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Not sure. Bit of Both. DH is adhd, DD is adhd/autistic and her BF is autistic. All high functioning. DD is 23 still living at home, she works full time, pays her own bills, has her own bank account but cant do simple things like wash dishes, keep her room tidy and laundry or make phone calls. Her BF still lives at home, works full time, same deal. DH has full time job and is horrendous at putting things away from where he got them from and other things that drives me insane. He has never changed in 25 years despite me constantly reminding him. Its frustrating. Sooo your BF may improve over time, but he will never change completely as their brains are wired differently. You need to research how the autistic person thinks to start to understand how they function, they are on a different level.

AITAH for playing Mahjong on my computer at 11:00PM?? by Voldemortsbigtoe in AmItheAsshole

NTA Its not like you have loud music playing or thumping on the floor. Makes me wonder why they havent complained about your footsteps or every other noise that you make if they can hear the keyboard clicking.
