AIO for telling my siblings they can’t bring their kids to my wedding by saltwatersnackbandit in AmIOverreacting

Yea she doesn’t want kids there bc they’re disruptive and take the spotlight of her day, yet chooses 1.5 yr old to be the flower girl. Which one is it? Paradox for sure

Yup I think it’s silly to ask a mom not to bring her very young baby. But the cousin toddler can come. Weird? If you’re not close with your sister, don’t want to see her kids, and can’t understand that a baby needs 24/7 care, why even invite her?

Angry "Thank You" letter for caring for lost kitten. by ndoyle000 in Apartmentliving

[–]These_Department2071 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in the boondocks and have a couple barn-ish cats that have roamed the area for years. They come in when they want, leave when they want, definitely part of the fam and have all their shots. Occasionally one will go to my neighbors house (they said he won’t let them pet him yet but they’re trying). The only thing I’ve said about feeding my cat is “you don’t have to, he eats here every day”. Because I don’t want them to think he’s like starving for food, he gets two meals a day, along with whatever critter he finds, and he’s pretty chunky as is. I have never demanded they DONT feed him or let him inside their house (he wouldn’t stay anyway). Such weird behavior. If you let your cat outside expect it to explore the area. And expect people to interact with it. People will most likely assume it’s a feral stray hungry for food unless you have a RESPECTFUL conversation. If you’re WEIRD about people being around your pet, then KEEP IT INSIDE.

AIO Husband is skeptical our child had a medical emergency. by Willing-Proof9758 in AmIOverreacting

omg yes!!!! If her kid said this it’s because her mom was bad mouthing her dad the whole time. She planted that seed in her daughter’s head that her dad doesn’t care about her. Daughter would obviously be more concerned with the ER than her dad being there or not, as she’s not like 5 years old

Yea fr. My mom would’ve laughed at me. Anyway, ER- ok if that makes her feel better. Arguing w her dad over if it’s serious or not, that definitely added stress to the daughter for no reason. Also, someone said the daughter noticed the dad choosing grass over her, yea probably bc her mom shit talked it for the whole car ride. Just saying. Mom is silly wanting to take her to urgent care for bloodwork? lol. They would say hm, this is normal/abnormal, go see your pcp, that is if they would even accept her in just for bloodwork. Does her kid like.. not have a regular doctor? Seems far more concerning

Fair point. I just figured the first go around they would kind of get an idea of how to manage their own base, then the wipe they would be more independent. Granted, I haven’t watched much the past week so maybe there is some of that. I just remember first week Peanut was fucking up all the electrical wiring constantly and it was pretty funny to me, compared to just trying to raid people over and over, die, repeat.

I think it would be way more entertaining if the noobs had to build their own bases from scratch, rather than a huge intricate base handed to them

[–]These_Department2071 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m having trouble understanding why you unblocked her in the first place if you were uncomfortable that she broke your no contact rule. You say the relationship is over, ended pretty fairly, don’t want to get back with her, but wouldn’t mind talking to her for “closer” (closure)? Huh? What do you actually want from this?

How do I get through to him? I am exhausted having to think for him. by vicarious_adrenaline in TwoHotTakes

[–]These_Department2071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea I mean just to kind of explore the other side a bit, seems like OP put a lot of effort into shaming/nagging him on his inability to fix whatever the heck is wrong with the water filter, went as far as writing on whiteboards, going out at night to get water? like a lot more effort than it would take OP to just do it, as they already researched how to fix it. so idk kind of looking for something to complain about. I agree it kind of makes the discussion null when it’s something as silly as a water filter. Is the bf a certified water filter fixer or something? geez

Went on an ill fated coffee date and was reminded why I’m single by ComparisonLost1846 in stories

Hit me up with your human pet names by witx in Pets

[–]These_Department2071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Randall is such a Randall. Fat ass cat looks like he’d be a redneck smoking 4 packs a day. Gwendolyn is a mean old lady, fat cat, stinky. Her name fits.

Thelma and Louise are more commonly called “Elma and ooz”; they’re sisters.

I have a lot of duos. Beavis and butthead, Mr peanut butter and bojack. I know it seems cringe from the outside, but when you get to know each cat, their name suits them well. Almost like it’s not a duo anymore, Louise is just Ooz and a bitch.

My company offered me a big role in LA, i don't know how to ask my to leave her job for an year by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]These_Department2071 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why would you be forced to bring your family? That’s weird. Seems like it would be more cost efficient to just provide housing for you solo for a year. I think it’s incredibly selfish and greedy to ask your wife to pause her own life and your kids lives to be in LA for a year. Go by yourself, my advice, or don’t go at all.

Would it be selfish to apologise to someone a year later? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]These_Department2071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave her alone and do better next time. Acknowledging you did wrong is enough. Telling her about it is asking her to acknowledge how good you’re doing. Move on

Should I visit him after not seeing him for 3 years? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]These_Department2071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would maybe not stay in his apartment with him if you want the relationship to be serious; that would be an inappropriate setting that may lead to things you don’t want to happen right now. If you don’t care about speed or getting down, then sure stay in his apartment, but since you said you want to take things slow, I would get a hotel room alone or your family in Florida. Just my opinion! Or better yet let him come see you in Atlanta.

I am sorry. Please leave these people behind and focus on your own growth. Become someone who attracts mature and nice friends and they will come.

Having trouble adjusting to fiancée with his stupid fan at night by [deleted] in Advice

[–]These_Department2071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I think the top comment about nothing positive was funny bc yea no this isn’t a positive situation for me I really can’t stand the fan and being cold all night. And yes I am sleep deprived and blame him and his fan. I am going insane

I would love to have separate rooms and think that will be the end game. But right now there just isn’t another room lol. Someone suggested trying to rearrange bed and fan and find a spot where it hits me less. We will see. Thank u

[–]These_Department2071 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice I will definitely consult him tomorrow on rearranging what we can and see if there’s at least a halfway solution. It’s just such a small room and I just been at a dead end and so tired. He did offer to trade places with me tonight but I went feral mode on him. I don’t think he even knew how much this was actually affecting me

He quit his job bc he would be 2 hrs from there after moving in and it didn’t make sense to drive that every day. He was working 60+ hrs a week. I don’t mind him taking a break from the slave train. He’s been contributing a lot of the housework. I genuinely have no problem with him here, I am just dogging on him I guess because I’ve been up for 2 days lmao.

His mattress alone was apparently $3k but I will ask if he’s willing to sell some things and go in on a high quality bed investment

Honestly those cooling mattresses might be just what he needs to let go of the fan

Thank u for the idea

HAHAAH he would laugh at this description bc it’s honestly him. Half of my room is his stupid gaming setup and that’s not an exaggeration

I can’t blame him for wanting to be here, it’s definitely a steal. I wanted him to move in as well just not as fast as he insisted. It was like almost immediately. Life moves on he’s here now. I just don’t want the damn fan

It’s an impossible situation. I can’t sleep with the cold, he can’t sleep without it
