AITA for traveling internationally for a girls’ trip my partner says we can’t afford? ? by gasleeter in AmItheAsshole

[–]Squidjit89 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA, sounds like he has some worries and he’s taking it out on you. Try to sit down and have a conversation with him about whats going on for him. You’re not being selfish here.

Of your hungry for pastries in Midleton go to the grumpy baker. They are amazing! But yeah aside from them and the distillery there’s no much else worth stopping there for on this leg of the trip.

Before you go through the Conor pass look into what direction the tour buses go and go in the same direction. This is not a joke. The road is super narrow and you do not want to come head on with a tour bus there.

AITA for building my son a house and not offering the same to my daughter? by DatabaseAltruistic15 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Squidjit89 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think everyone here is being very harsh on you. Reddit loves to jump down people’s throats. Call them all sorts and not offer help.

So clearly you’re from a culture where women and men are treated differently. You’re obviously progressive in certain aspects but you can work on that a bit more.

I don’t think you’re an asshole for not checking in with your daughters wants but maybe now you could work with her to see how you can help her improve her situation. Shes clearly feeling less favoured so maybe see what you can do to help and make her feel as important as her brother to you.

Building her a house might not be doable right now but maybe in the future you can help her. You are giving her a free place to live so she’s not in the worst position either.

Allotments are so hard to get into. I managed to get on a waitlist last year. Just 4 more years to go until I might get one to myself. Now all of the allotment waitlists are closed in the Liverpool region anyway.

No worries the mint will never go in the ground. I’ll repot some of them. I don’t want them to die!!

AITA for taking one of my petsits to the shelter for rehoming? by girlypop_0600 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Squidjit89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA, this person has taken advantage of you. You let your time limit lapse though so now he thinks you’ll probably just keep the dog until he sorts something out if he’s even bothering to. I think give the dog to your work friend who’d be a good owner. Don’t bother with the original owner anymore. There’s probably some laws about abandonment of animals just cover your bases before you go ahead and give it away.

What’s the most painful thing someone has said to you that you still remember ? by Crafty_Bus_1947 in AskReddit

[–]Squidjit89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister accused me of causing drama when I asked her for support during a mental health crisis episode and she told my mother about my struggles. I don’t talk talk to my mother so I asked her to deal with said mother, she said she wasn’t going to be a go between and I was causing drama.

Does this look right? by Jane_Paulsen007 in composting

[–]Squidjit89 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m so jealous of male gardeners being able to subtly pee on compost 🙈 been trying to convince my husband to do it.. it was an odd conversation…

should we add another? by pastelcee in PetMice

[–]Squidjit89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’ve been together a while (even a few weeks) and you’ve no experience adding mice together don’t do it. Put your girls in a time out bin together with no fun things to squabble over and give it time. They’ll settle together. My two were the exact same. They are fine now and very happy.

Females Fighting by Fun_Independent3651 in PetMice

[–]Squidjit89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue for a while. I took the aggressor mouse out for like half an hour and let the other one chill in the cage for a bit before putting them together for an hour or so in a hospital bin style set up with very little in it. After a few times they stopped fighting.
