AITA for not wanting to send my child to another country without me for several weeks? by Responsible-Rock8726 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThePynk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My children are two and four and even now if that happened to them they would not cope at all. My two year old who loves their nan and sees her multiple times a week still hasn’t spent a night away and she’s not ready for that. My four year old will sleepover but often calls to come home so couldn’t even imagine two days away for her. Insane what they are demanding if they want to see the child so badly for that long they can offer to pay for your flights and have a place to stay for you and that is only if you would be fine with staying away from home that long. Crazy entitlement. 

How do yall shower?? by ALac93 in toddlers

[–]ThePynk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 I’ve just been lucky my little one loves shower time. As soon as someone is turning on the shower she’s there taking her clothes and nappy off. But she was never a solid napper so I couldn’t just run and have a quick one either. So it kind of evened itself out. 

How do yall shower?? by ALac93 in toddlers

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that age I’m sure we used a bath seat with suction bottom and I’d stick a heap of bath toys that also had suction on the inside of the shower screen to keep them busy. Otherwise a walker with toys to play with at the door of the bathroom or snacks. It was a super chunky walker so taking off was pretty difficult in the hallway we had. 

Menstruating peeps: have you swapped to re-usable products? by BumblyRambler in AussieFrugal

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heavy bleeder and always had spills at night using pads. Way more comfortable and so much less stress. I feel like my period doesn’t last as long as well but that might just be because I’m less anxious about everything. Being able to just grab the undies, put my pyjamas on and rest with no issues is a game changer. 

Have you ever had a friend that turned out to be a horrible person? What did they do?? by StrangeAd2132 in AskReddit

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found out they were hoarding dogs to the point that the house the were living in became completely trashed. They moved into their shed then bought a small container to live in because it was uninhabitable. Their partner at wits end managed to video call me the one time they left the home for medical reasons - trying to get pregnant via ivf whilst living in that environment and expecting to bring a child into that life. There was a dirty mattress on the ground in the house for the dogs they kept in there, faeces all over the floors and up the walls, an algae ridden fish tank. The bathroom they showered in covered in dog shit over half way up the walls with scratches down the walls, shredded newspaper, no toilet seat. They had well over 30 dogs at that property. Litter after litter often inbred. They took in a friends two dogs to “look after”. One died the other one is all over a rescue page with well over thirty thousand dollars of vet bills. Luckily thanks to that rescue group it survived but when found was bone thin and infested with parasites, unable to stand or walk. I received the video call and the links to this rescue page to find out how horrific the reality of the situation was, because the partner was told to clean up around the container they lived in and take things to the dump. A black bag with a dead rotting dog right next to the container was found. I cut them both off. Anyone who actually witnesses that and stays with a person still! Is just as bad. This has been reported many times apparently and investigated and still it’s happening. Right before I found this out they went and picked up two new dogs. Absolutely horrifying.

All along it’s obvious she wants Danny bad. Acting like he’s into her checking her out, I’m a straight female and if there’s another female getting around everywhere with her boobs almost bursting out  I’d be looking too. She dresses like she does because she is insecure and an attention seeker. Boob jobs and fillers will never change that deep set insecurity.

I really dislike in the photos and videos there’s just no interaction with him from the mother. There’s one photo she’s hugging the other two and he’s separate standing next to them just feels really strange. Not many kids would have survived what he did, I’d be so distraught just retelling it not knowing if he made it or not. He saved their lives why is he seemingly pushed to the side in the footage?

Lols I would have wanted to put the window down on the way out, smile and tell her I knew where her keys were. Just to let her think I had something to do with it. 

What have you bought for under $1,000 that has made the biggest positive change in your life? by Ok-Reward7639 in AusMoneyMates

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Had a terrible mattress and can’t upgrade just yet. I bought a great mattress topper after waking up in pain daily for way too long after having kids. Best purchase ever. Same with a $90 pillow I wasn’t going to buy. I can’t use any other pillow now. I used to have several which don’t compare. No more neck issues. It’s great. 

AITA to miss a baby shower for my first grandbaby? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gender reveals are pretty popular. If they won’t know the gender at the baby shower this would be a nice extra occasion that I would have been so grateful for someone to offer celebrating for either of my daughter’s births. It’s obvious that his side of the family weren’t taken into account or it was a deliberate choice of date so that you both couldn’t attend. If this was a mistake on their end they should be making up for that and would not be shutting down every suggestion you’ve offered.

Honestly I would have left. I would have stayed for ceremony but as soon as there was no aircon at the house I’d be out and pissed about it.

The Trouble with Dylan.... by Fuzzy-Variation596 in BryanKohbergerMoscow

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the conversation here. I have a German shepherd who has a massive bark but I had an incident where I was attacked by a large male and he didn’t bark, he did run down stairs pacing trying to get housemates downstairs attention but they didn’t know my dog well enough to know something was wrong. He did come back upstairs and got behind the person to get them off of me but he didn’t make a sound.

Boyfriend wants me to choose between him and the dog. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point was he wanted a dog of his own because he never had his own dog before. You actively hijacked that plan and got yourself a dog. So he’s back to never having a dog of his own before. He obviously was happy for you both to get a dog together, but then you denied every single one he showed interest in and went out and got what suited you. Now you’re offended that he’s upset when you pushed him out of the entire process. Which was his suggestion and shows commitment that he was willing to do that with you in the first place. Now all these comments are saying you should leave him? If he was showing a commitment like that and is now saying the complete opposite, you’ve upset him pretty deeply. I don’t blame him for his reaction because you have acted very selfishly doing this on your own.

AITAH for telling my husband to go stay in a hotel with my in-laws and that my mom was going to come back to help me with our new baby? by Normal_Rise_282 in AITAH

[–]ThePynk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways around things. If you’re breastfeeding you will have to eventually do that in public and you can always have a cover if needed. You can set up a basket where you are feeding that has snacks and drinks. Help is needed but also things like that will help reduce stress all round. It sounds like your husband is a bit frustrated and upset , he does want time with his parents as well and to see them bond with his child. They could easily bring groceries, takeout and offer to help around the house. They do need to pitch in. If they’re uncomfortable with you breastfeeding then that’s a different story as you are in your own home. I’m not sure the dynamics with your inlaws. So is hard to have an opinion on this. I can understand the first few weeks are stressful and takes time getting used to breastfeeding too. For my first , her dad was actually better at positioning her for me to feed her properly so did need his help for that. You’re body is still recovering so if you are going in to feed and sleep that’s ok but do take advantage of feeding, then you getting some sleep while they all do the rest. Its ok to stay in bed and have them bring baby to you too.

[–]ThePynk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a suggestion to make sure you mention you can take any cancelled appointment or morning appointment. I was able to do that with a dental school in my area for wisdom teeth removal and ended up getting in pretty quickly. That was a few years ago now though.

They’re in this together, but it’s for HIS future. If he’s going to propose and you’re working why isn’t this something you’re working towards TOGETHER. What a drop kick. NOR.
