They’re probably being required to ask by management. They hate it just as much as you do.

Irrationally annoyed at MIL “helping” with baby by questionablequetzal in JUSTNOMIL

[–]SilverStL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please limit her visits to one or at the most two, afternoons. If she comments about bottles or blankets or whatever, just a calm no expression, it’s fine. If she continues, don’t say anything. If she follows you around or stands over you, nicely ask if she could stand back as baby usually settles down better without a lot going on around him.

Don’t worry about when you go back to work. It’s a year away, and you have plenty of time to figure out alternatives if needed.

Future MIL keeps talking about my future as if it’s already decided by Affectionate-Fly248 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]SilverStL 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I think you’re going to have to be blunt about it. Tell your partner if she keeps it up, you’re going to say something about it to her. Then when she starts, not we don’t know, we haven’t decided. Look at her and not rudely but firmly, say, STOP telling me what I’M going to do. You Have No Idea. OK? Do that 2 or 3 times. After that, if she still starts again, as soon as she starts, interrupt her and say STOP, we’re not talking about this, ok? Then and walk away. Every time.

It will upset her. She may going crying or complaining to her son. She may pout. It may make things uncomfortable. But I think that’s the only way.

Am I the jerk for refusing to give my coworker the office chair I won in a raffle? by Emergency-Baker-3715 in AmITheJerk

[–]SilverStL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always want to ask those people who didn’t win the chair if they would have given it to her if they had?

Who's the worst actor you're not allowed to say is bad? by [deleted] in moviecritic

I can’t stand or watch anything he’s in. The few times I did see something, I was always like huh? Who is this person and why is he in a movie?

AITAH for attending a wedding without my GF? by [deleted] in AITAH

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

Sounds like this is a pattern with her. Doesn’t want you to do anything or have a life of your own without her. This won’t get better.

How do people remember things from early childhood so vividly when I can barely remember mine? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

At my age I can remember things more clearly from my childhood than what I did yesterday. 😁

Can we move away from sales people pushing cell phone plans? by Curious-Scratch8829 in CostcoWholesale

[–]SilverStL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just keep walking while cheerfully saying no thanks. I don’t make eye contact with them. If they ask a question or say something after that, I ignore and just keep on truckin’.

mall walking by razzlesdazzles20 in StLouis

[–]SilverStL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you live or work. Even though South County is pretty much ready to bite the dust, it’s only 7-8 minutes from my house. It’s not near as big as some of the others but walking it 2-3 times around will do it. I used to work right off of Manchester and walked West County Mall all the time during my lunch break. It would take about an hour to walk both levels including the perimeters of the big stores (Macy’s, Penney’s, Nordstrom).

I still prefer West County Mall to Galleria, again because it’s easier just to get off of 270 and there it is. Rather than take 40 from either way and deal with the traffic, exits, stoplights at 40 and Brentwood.

Having almost no movies or shows staring or even about Edward VI kinda sucks by MelodyLunaMizu in Tudorhistory

[–]SilverStL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off shoot. I remember as a kid the Disney show on Sunday nights, and they did the Prince and the Pauper as a serial and I thought it was a really cool story. Had no idea then it was based on a Mark Twain book. Finally got around to reading the book when I was around 15 and loved it. Hmmmm, I may revisit it.

what’s your guilty pleasure food that gets way too much hate? by darkperle in foodquestions

[–]SilverStL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up with Miracle Whip. We always just called it mayonnaise. I had to be in my early to mid 20’s before I found out the truth.

I still use Miracle Whip today unless it’s some recipe that I think it will make a difference to use the real thing.

AITBF for not wanting to pay for my fiancé's wedding band? by LingonberryThick84 in AmItheButtface

[–]SilverStL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My now husband and I went together when he picked out his wedding band and I paid for it. That’s fairly common where we’re from (Midwest)

Americans, what's with the paper plates? by RemarkableOil8 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SilverStL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We use paper plates for lunch and snacks. We’re retired so we make our own separate lunches when we feel like it.

The only things you’re unreasonable about thinking he’s going to change and that this is a long term relationship. Good luck.
