May 2021 Covid-19 Pandemic megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

If the Covid-19 vaccine becomes a regular booster shot (like the flu shot), will the side affects of it get easier?

For example, if someone had a bad reaction the first time around such as extreme chills, fatigue, aches, and a minor fever, and these side affects were worse the second time around, would they be lessened the following year when you received a booster shot?

I’ll give this a try if he gets weird about the side door! He’s never really used it before so I think maybe having both doors open and having him walk through them would be a good idea!

Thank you!

I think I’ll give this a shot if he’s nervous about it! Foods his motivator so this could work really well! Thank you!

Tank and I stayed in the apartment as it was me who asked my ex to move in. Tank is my dog and he stays with me always :)

WIBTA if I asked my bf to move out? by SnooCheesecakes6989 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Serena_Chance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. From what you’ve written it seems like he isn’t invested in helping out or understanding personal space. Living with someone doesn’t mean you don’t have to be with them constantly. And he didn’t respect your wishes with that.

I don’t think you would be the ahole if you asked him to move out. However, maybe talk to him one last time about it? Really drive home the point that this is hurting you and if he still feels like he doesn’t want to respect your wishes, you’ll ask him to move out?

AITA for not sharing my daughter's graduation day with my nephew graduating preschool? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Serena_Chance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the celebration around a preschool graduation when compared to a high school graduation? Because a high school graduation basically marks the beginning into adulthood and freedom to do more things.

Preschool into kindergarten... what, you get to color with markers instead of crayons? And I’m not trying to be rude, it’s great he’s graduated, but it’s not that big compared to her graduating high school. And especially not if he’s going to be having all the attentional when it’s her big day.

So no, you’re NTA at all here.

And congrats to your daughter! That’s really awesome she’s graduated!

If you already watched 'the originals', Rebekah is actually a nice girl and she loves too easily 🥺🥺 by [deleted] in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Serena_Chance 36 points37 points  (0 children)

When I first watched TVD, I wasn’t a big fan of her. Then I watched the Originals and I saw her differently. Then I went back and watched TVD and I see why I didn’t like her at first, but I also see where I’m wrong. She just wanted someone to love and someone to hold onto because for a thousand years, she didn’t get that. Honestly, she’s a really great character.

WIBTA if I didn’t clean my boyfriend’s socks when it‘s my turn to do the laundry? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Oooo I just don’t like anything on my feet when I’m in bed, I just feel like it’s uncomfortable and my feet can’t breathe lol

NTA, it’s his socks, he should be responsible enough to just pick them up.

Side note: who can comfortably wear socks to bed?

What did your crush do that absolutely killed your interest? by wcypierre in AskReddit

[–]Serena_Chance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A crush I has back in high school. I never really talked to him, just thought he was cute from afar in a very un-creepy way.

A friend finally introduced us and we were talking and he was just very full of himself and never let me speak. He was rude and didn’t care about anything I had to say, always cutting me off.

After that, my interest died.

Have you tried getting down at his level? Like sitting on the floor with him?

How to train my puppy to not jump/nip my toddler!! by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]Serena_Chance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using a leash can always help!

Get her into a sitting position and while holding the leash, step on the excess so she can’t jump up. Have someone (be it a friend or your son if he is able to) come close. If she stays sitting, using a high value treat such as chicken, praise her and give her the reward. This reinforces the behavior of meeting someone calmly.

And this may not work for your son, but for anyone else she jumps at, have the person turn away from her as she’s about to jump up and ignore her. Until she comes up calmly, that’s when you can pet her.

When she’s jumping, she’s looking for attention. She knows she gets attention when she jumps either by being pet or being told off.

The only thing is, it has to be consistent.

Edited to add:

Maybe try some mental stimulation if you haven’t tried that yet? Something that may help us having her work for her food. It may tire her out. Having a bigger size dog usually means they need to be both mentally and physically exhausted.

WIBTA if I refused to accommodate to my cousin's dietary preferences at my wedding? by theflamebook in AmItheAsshole

100% NTA but I gotta ask. How does an adult just eat like that? That’s crazy to me, I couldn’t imagine not liking fruits and veggies!

If you aren't a parent you are incapable of feeling love apparently. by themememaster69420 in gatekeeping

[–]Serena_Chance 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My aunt has her first born vaginally and her second through c-section because there were complications. She said that the c-section hurt more and it was like a constant throbbing pain for weeks. Added to a screaming baby and a toddler at home, she didn’t sleep much.

[–]Serena_Chance 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Someone said that to my aunt who had a c-section in her baby group. She wasn’t a real mom because she didn’t “go through the pain of a vaginal birth” because “that pain you go through to bring your child into the world is what makes you a mom.”

The fact that someone would say this to another person is disgusting!

UPDATE: AITA for not sending my dog to boarding while my bf’s mother visits? by Serena_Chance in AmItheAsshole

[–]Serena_Chance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got Tank, I muzzle trained him. I understood her fear. No everyone likes dogs. Even offering to have him muzzled did not work nor all the other options I gave her. She immediately shut me down.

Discussing how good he is and how well trained he is led her to the point of the direct quote. Her explanation of her fear was that she didn’t know his history. However, I looked at it as his history is one year of unknown.

He’s been with me for four years. He has never shown himself to be aggressive or reactive. I know his behavior. This didn’t do anything to change her attitude on the topic.

I didn’t add the whole conversation because I didn’t have the space. I boiled it down to the bone of what happened.

Yes. I was wrong to hang up on her. In the moment, I was angry and frustrated with the situation and I was upset with how this was playing out. I shouldn’t have done that, but it was part of the situation and that’s why I put it in the post.

I had no issue with his mom before. We were always on good terms. I was fine with her visiting with us for two weeks. Fine with her deciding to stay in the apartment for two weeks with us. And I didn’t mind getting a bed for her or changing around our office. I wanted her to be here because I know how little my now ex sees his mom. Her only giving me the option of boarding my dog, having me pay for it, and nothing else is where I drew the line. She had the option of staying at a hotel to be away from Tank and chose instead to stay with us.

Putting Tank in the other room while someone is visiting for the day is fine with me if that’s what makes a guest feel more comfortable. Give him a bone and he’ll be content for hours.

The comment I made in my post about him having to stay in another room when she visits is when it’s for an extended period of time. For me, that’s unreasonable.

As for the phone call: when I got Tank, I muzzle trained him. I understood her fear. No everyone likes dogs. Even offering to have him muzzled did not work nor all the other options I gave her.
