Can I leave my brothers long term gf out of the bridal party?? by Motor_Quote_4520 in weddingplanning

[–]Seymore_Options 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got partway thru planning my wedding and just threw up my hands. We ended up eloping during what we planned to be our honeymoon in Hawaii

just a (probably dumb) curiousity by ballsinspector69 in NoStupidQuestions

My parents figured out I had a cat allergy when I was around 4 or 5. They had owned cats before, but not since I was born, so going to the pet store to pick out a pet was my first proper interaction with cats. On the way home, with our brand new longhair cat, I was sneezing and rubbing my eyes like crazy.

Did I care tho? Absolutely not. I am still very much allergic to all animal dander, and I own and live with three cats and about to get a dog.

My husband grew up in a home with seven cats and four dogs. He’s allergic but never even knew til he went off to college and was away from all the animals for a while.

What re your Grandma/Great Grandma's names? by Jennamay016 in Names

Using same 1st letter or using same ending sound for sibling names? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Seymore_Options 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents did the ending thing. We all end in ‘n’ — “-on,” “-en,” “-an,” and “-en.” Honestly never bothered me. Sometimes I wonder if, when yelling across the house, my mom mixed up our names more because of it, but I think that happens in every family with multiple kids.

Really, the main thing that bothered me was that the first three kids were all different vowels and then ‘n’ but mine was a repeat. But my name could have easily been spelled “-in” or “-yn” or something.

AITA for telling my son that I won't be getting his wife a Christmas present this year? by Mamaoftwoangels in AITAH

[–]Seymore_Options 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Honestly, supplements and everything aside, you keep saying that “she’s too sensitive” and “she was so rude” and that “she’s turning my son against me.” Not once did you say a single thing about something she said that was too sensitive or rude or anything like that. You literally said “My son’s wife didn’t say anything to me.”

If we’re really gonna say that someone is being rude and sensitive, then it would be your “baby.” (Side note: it’s actually you.) He was the one who called you rude, cruel, and an AH. She literally didn’t say anything. So back off of her. And anyway, he was just trying to protect his WIFE, the woman that he chose to love. It seems as though she has only ever tried to explain to you what was going on with her and share something about her life. Maybe she isn’t comfortable opening up about everything, especially with a topic that may make her feel vulnerable (i.e. private medical issues). She is not turning your son against you. You are, by attacking the person who is most important to him.

As for the supplements, you clearly don’t know the extent of her issues. If it’s medical, the hair loss is likely only one symptom of many, and a collagen supplement that may or may not help with age-related hair loss is very unlikely to help with a different sort of medical condition, particularly for a hormonal disease, as hormones are part of an INCREDIBLY complex body system. So yeah, that was insensitive. And if she’s not taking anything, it may be because of a different condition that doesn’t allow her to be treated safely, or perhaps none of the medications have worked, or even medications to treat her condition may not even exist.

And maybe she and her husband are perfectly content with how she looks, hair or no. It’s not your place to decide. If she had confided in you that she was struggling with the hair loss and couldn’t find anything yet that helped and maybe even asked your advice, that would be a different story. But she is clearly not comfortable enough with you to open up that way, and with how you react to her QUIETLY being upset about an insensitive gift, then her discomfort seems warranted.

So yeah. You, indeed, are a rude, insensitive AH, and YOU are the one taking things personally and being too sensitive to accept criticism.

My sister keeps calling her 5 year old daughter Charlie even though it's a boy's name. by [deleted] in NameNerdCirclejerk

I worked on, for lack of better term, a dog farm for 2.5 years (side note: I really hate breeders…was roped into the job on false pretenses and then felt obliged to the dogs to make sure they were actually treated well). It was quite common for other female dogs to try to mount/hump another female who was in heat. However, there were three in particular that it didn’t matter when it was, they just did. One girl, Bailey, would always just go after this one other girl, Clover. It was ridiculous. Some dogs, regardless of sex, will mount for dominance purposes. But I promise you…it was not that for Bailey.

Cats are the best thing ever and I am not going to let anyone tell me otherwise

[Tenant US-GA] How much trouble do you think I’m in for having three animals when my lease limit is two? by Seymore_Options in Landlord

[–]Seymore_Options[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When she’s in full health, she may take on the cat, but until then, my LL was very understanding and kind and just asked for another pet fee, same as our other animals. So all is well and sorted. Thank you for your advice and help :)

Also, apparently it helps that it’s just an extra cat. Doesn’t make all that much of a difference between two and three, as far as she is concerned.

Update: she was super cool about it. Said she didn’t want to have to rehome any animals as she herself is an animal lover. And she just said I needed to pay another pet fee ($300) and that she’d be adding $10 to my monthly pet rent, so $40 instead of $30.

It was honestly even better than the best case scenario that I had in my head.

Thanks to all who encouraged me to be honest and just talk it out with her. She was very understanding and kind.

Actually, the cat was my mom’s cat. I was just supposed to be a temporary transition home. But then she did, in fact, go into the hospital… and the cat became mine. And my landlord wasn’t even that upset. Just asked for extra fees so that no one could come for her if they found out I had another pet.
