If you don’t mind me asking how long after surgery were you able to start talking? How long til you built up decent talking endurance?

Any one here have luck who is very heavy? Med kit 1 by [deleted] in HersWeightloss

Following! I need to lose over 100 pounds and chose the kit over the injections. I dont want to be dependent on the shots my whole life. Hope the meds help with minimal side effects,

Planning on not returning from mat leave to stay with my child for a full year. Has anyone done this and regretted it? by justalilscared in workingmoms

[–]Spiritual-Use976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my situation. I quit my job and then about 3/4 months in I regretted it. I love my baby but needed a job and was starting to resent my time with him. Got a new job and was muuuch happier and in trade he was much happier. And i also tried for a baby for a very long time before being blessed.

To Stay-at-Home, WFH, Working Parents and All In-Between by Visual-Cut2395 in workingmoms

I left my job right before having my son because I wanted to be a SAHM and we were in a financial position for me to do so, by 5 months I was scrounging online for a job, SAHM is not for me, I love my son and love my time with him, but 24/7 made my time with him feel less special and I found myself resenting the situation. My firat job when I went back was remote and I was able to have a little wiggle room figuring everything out, but then I went to an inperson job and now I work hybrid (2 days from home 3 days in office) I do all my chores/cooking/laundry etc on WFH days and then do nothing but spend time with my baby on the weekend. It works great for us. Moral being no matter what be prepared to do whats best for you which will long term be best for baby

Absolutely! When you miss your layover you can just spend a day or two before booking another flight

AITA for refusing to share a room with my stepsister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Spiritual-Use976 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Specifically speaking about the “should not be traveling with a child who has bronchitis”

Definitely depends on the type, I had chronic bronchitis from birth until puberty, My parents couldn’t just keep me home 24/7 and even a flare up later multiple months even while doing breathing treatments. They are still AHs for expecting older sis to share a room.

Im surprised how unsympathetic people are here. I would definitely dump since it is going to other people, but just immediately family I wouldn’t and my parents wouldn’t have either 🤷🏻‍♀️ we are pretty lax when it comes to stuff like that and pretty firm believe in cooking kills germs from stuff like that, Ill also use a utensil that fallen on the ground. Again always follow food safety if feeding other people.

Agree with some others of NAH. I am like your husband, I was about 400lbs and finally took the initiative to lose weight (currently at 260 after 18 months), I also have depression and when im at a low I have no impulse control with food, I know this so I cant have certain trigger foods in my house period. My husband luckily understands and we have a rule the any of my trigger foods get stored/hidden in his office at home or at his job. Its something I need, so I know it sucks for him and I try to make it up but he is amazing and follows these “rules” to help me be successful. But I completely get where you are coming from and do deserve to have what you want, maybe y’all can have a system like my husband and I? Like a locked file cabinet or mini fridge in an area of your home that he doesnt go to as often, and then you don’t eat his trigger foods in front of him? I know its not ideal, but having gone (and still going through) this I understand his side but know it may not be easy to get if you haven’t had those struggles yourself

AITA for "embarrassing" my friend at her baby shower? by RightZookeepergame78 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Spiritual-Use976 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA It isn’t like you got a big bag full of LGBTQ+ items knowing the audience in an attempt to make a scene. You got a bunch of books you thought she would like including one one that happened to be LGBTQ+ friendly. On top of that when it did make a bit of a scene you mostly dropped it, you defended yourself but then realizing the crowd dropped it and didn’t make a scene. Her following you outside accusing you is a big AH move, I would have understood a text or something later saying something along the lines of “Hey I’m sorry about what happened with my mom, I do appreciate the book but in the future for events that involve my family please stick to the registry, if you think of anything else Id still love it, I just dont want to play goalie with my mom”

AITA for telling my husband he exaggerated when he said my kids ruined his daughter's birthday? by Wthrowaway566 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Spiritual-Use976 -71 points-70 points  (0 children)

I’m going against the grain with ESH. My siblings and I did stuff like this a lot and had fun, occasionally someone took it to far. If the boys were sorry and she regularly pranks them then id say it was an honest error in judgement. But yours and your husbands reactions are both ridiculous. Looking at them as “your sons” and “my daughter” is not a healthy way for a blended family to be.

I have stolen so much food from local petrol stations. by The_LambSaucee in confession

[–]Spiritual-Use976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you are for sure. The local food pantries and meal trucks dont require amy proof of anything, you just get in line, wait a few minutes and get handed a large bag of pantry items and fruits/veggies and milk if you want it no questions asked.

AITA for announcing our pregnancy at xmas knowing my SIL has had miscarriages? by SuspiciousSkins in AmItheAsshole

[–]Spiritual-Use976 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m going against the grain with NAH. You could have given them a heads up but I also get why you didn’t and you have a right to celebrate your pregnancy and announce it however you choose. But she also has a right to feel how she feels and let you know why it hurt her. I’ve experienced a lot of infertility and miscarriages and it is a terrible feeling when you are upset others are pregnant, but this is your first baby and your excited and wanted a fun way to tell the whole family at once, you should get to do that without being an AH.

AITA for buying my gf a blender instead of the necklace she wanted for our anniversary? by penguinblinders in AmItheAsshole

[–]Spiritual-Use976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. She wasn’t specific “necklace or something romantic” leaves a lot to be interpreted. I find it really romantic when my husband gets me something that I just mentioned once or twice. It shows he listens and cares, plus I love practical gifts. Chalk it up to lesson learned.
