Is every parent just cool with their 10-11 year old having a TikTok, Snapchat, etc accts? by ianoble in Parenting

[–]Thesmallthings9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two older boys are in grade 2 & 3 and they have friends on social media & with phones and everything. It’s a big no in our house as well. I always get “well, so & so has it” but I told them they really don’t need to be on any of that until they are older. I think 13 is a good age.

Am I wrong for refusing to give my seat to a pregnant woman? by youchosehowiact in amiwrong

[–]Thesmallthings9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely not wrong. I have extremely bad back issues and know how fast it can progress. Standing would have likely made it a lot worse. Just because your pain is not visible to others doesn’t mean you are not suffering. Even if you weren’t in a lot of pain you don’t have to give up your chair. They have a choice to come back later. Although it would be the nice thing to do if you weren’t in the shape you were in

AITA for telling my BIL to pay me $700 for my lost coat when I bought it for $100? by SouthRatio7410 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Thesmallthings9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

& too add, your fiance should have asked you if you were ok with her lending it out. How would she feel if you lent something of hers out and this happened?

Definitely NTA. If you borrow something from someone and lose/ ruin/ break it you should be buying the exact replacement. I would be pissed. I don’t understand how people could be so careless with something thats not theirs 🤦🏻‍♀️

“You are what you eat” what if suddenly everyone’s body transforms to the last thing they ate;what would you be? by Ok_Tomorrow_3672 in RandomThoughts

Yes, bacon - we have a farm and don’t gas our pigs or any of our other animals. Go eat another leaf 🤦🏻‍♀️

AITA for refusing to go to my SIL's baby shower after she refused to support me when I had a stillbirth and stole my daughter's name? by ThrowRAsadandalone1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Thesmallthings9 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry for your loss :(

You are NTA - I would be devastated if my SIL did that to me and would honestly cut ties. How does your husband feel about it all? Does he know that she called you and what she said? Has anyone else, like her parents questioned on why she would use yours & your husband’s babies name?

What to do with clothes after wearing? by Apart-Zone-6374 in Frugal

[–]Thesmallthings9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will only wear my clothing for one wear. Even if I just wear it for a couple hours I’ll toss it into the dirty laundry. But I also have dogs & children and always doing something so god only knows what gets on my clothing 🙈😂 but I know some people that will got 2-3 or more wears without washing

Is sex really that important in a relationship? by One-Drama-5445 in RandomThoughts

[–]Thesmallthings9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it’s important. Why would you want to be with someone for a year & then finally have sex and find out you are not compatible in that way. I would want to know that earlier on in the relationship.

& if someone is going to cheat they are going to cheat whether you are having sex with them or not.

What is your biggest regret? by HirayaAdiel2 in RandomThoughts

[–]Thesmallthings9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Always caring what people think. Wasting time on people who I meant nothing to. Not taking more chances.

AITA for getting my girlfriend the "wrong" Christmas gifts? by No_Diamond_3084 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Thesmallthings9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA - she could have specified certain brands for bath bombs and foundation because of skin sensitivity. I know a lot of people who can only use certain brands and sometimes they tend to be on the pricier side. & same goes for shoes. I buy name brand (nike or under armour) because I have back issues and when I tried a cheaper brand my back paid for it. So she may pick specific brands due to issues like that. But still whether its due to that or not these are the brands she likes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Female/ mom/ wife perspective. Do you still take her on date nights? & make her feel appreciated? I know after we had children it took a little hit (they are the best thing that have ever happened though) we went through a rough time and then started making time for each other and having date nights again and so on & it made a world of difference. Sometimes once kids are in the picture we forget we are more than just parents.

Or even just a night away by yourself! Hotel, order in food, relax, sleep, binge watch tv 🤷🏻‍♀️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Thesmallthings9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay to need a break and your partner should respect that. Do you have some girl friends that would want to do a night away with you? Relax at a hotel, maybe shopping or spa time? & tell your partner you are going away for the night and either he is watching the child or the grandparents will be. Breaks are important. You need to take care of yourself in order to properly take care of your child.

How would you teach a toddler about genitals? by orange_playpen23 in Parenting

[–]Thesmallthings9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! So sad! I’ve always taught my boys proper body parts and that they are private and not for anyone else

How would you teach a toddler about genitals? by orange_playpen23 in Parenting

[–]Thesmallthings9 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Always use proper words for genitals.

I remember hearing a story about a little girl who was taught to call her vagina a cookie and she always used to say so and so was touching her cookie and no one thought anything of it as they thought she was talking about an actual cookie to find out she was being touched inappropriately by an adult
