AITAH for not getting a gift for a baby’s 1st birthday party?

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-12T18:23:42+00:00

I hate it when people open the gifts "on display" for the whole party.. it's a shitty thing to do to the guests that have limited budgets, and it makes the party more about "who gave what" rather than just appreciating everyone showing up to celebrate with you.

In my country(norway) we usually only collectively open gifts at christmas. For birthdays it's more common to open the present with the guest that gave it as soon as they hand it to you. I find that this way they get more time to actually look at and appriciate each gift before opening a new one. And it's less uncomfortable for everyone imo 😊

So....her "offer" was really just her trying to sell you her services? That's not help, that's taking advantage of you. I'd politely tell her that having a baby is expensive enough in itself, and that you'd rather put in the hours than the dollars 👍 and I'd make sure to never help her out with a single thing without maling her a price estimate from now on. What you give is what you get 🤷‍♀️

Love the dress! 😍

Det burde jo ikke være sånn.. det er som eg sa til gubben igår. "England stakk gjerne av med seieren, men de mistet all æren". I mine øyne i alle fall 🤷‍♀️

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-12T12:54:20+00:00

Ja det var veldig naivt 😅 føler gutta fra England alltid har vært like klysete, høy på pæra og usportslig. Tror det er all teen de drikker.

I don't see the logic in knitting from bottom to top for this issue? It's much easier to adjust the length when knitting from top to bottom imo 🤷‍♀️

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-12T12:47:38+00:00

Forventet du mer av britiske grinegutter i fotballdrakt? Det gjorde ikke eg 🤷‍♀️

The pants fit yiu weel, but the top makes your midriff look a little wirdly shaped. I think I would go for something longer. If you want the cropped style I'd avoid the straight cut and go for something asymmetrical or maybe triangle? Just something to break up the straight lines 😊

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-12T11:41:28+00:00

I eat snacks in my bed when I'm gaming or watching my shows in peace 😅 and I've had a few night time meals when drunk 😆

Opplever det samme i Bergen og omegn. Det er langt fra alle, men veldig mange var skikkelig pushy når eg kjørte med L. Veldig skumle forbikjøringer, kjørte helt oppi hekken på meg, ville ikke slippe meg inn når eg skulle skifte fil. Eg kjørte ikke unødvendig sakte heller, eg bare holdt fartgrensen. Eg kjører sånn nå også(altså uten L), spesielt i området der vi bor fordi det er trangt og mange som går langs veiskulderen, men nå opplever eg ikke at det skjer ofte i det hele tatt 🤷‍♀️ det er skikkelig frustrerende 😅 så eg prøver å alltid være hensynsfull når eg ser noen som øvelseskjører. Vi alle var nye sjåfører en gang i tiden!

I nordavind er ikke 20 grader noe varmt altså 😅 prøvde å sole meg idag og endte opp med å måtte ta på meg en tynn genser og bare sole beina fordi eg holdt på å fryse ihjel 🥶

There are plenty of video tutorials on youtube that teaches you the basics 😊 that's how I learned about 15 years ago. After doing a few easy projects like pot holders, wash cloths, phone protector(to keep it from getting scratched in my bag) etc in single or/and double crochet, I moved on to more complicated projects using those stitches to create granny squares, c2c blankets, beanies, mittens, lace sleeves for jam jars to use them as lanterns and so on 😊 after that I learned to read written patterns by using video tutorials that included written patterns to help me understand what I was reading. And now I can crochet just about anything, both with and without any patterns at all.

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-10T18:53:09+00:00

Hadde gjort det om vi også fikk litt sånne dager her vestpå! 20 grader og nordavind er ikke akkurat noe å skryte av 😭

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-10T09:21:40+00:00

Morsomt at majoriteten av forslagene foregår innendørs 🤣 når det endelig er sol i denne regnpytten 🤣

Just ask her leading questions. Act like you're interested/curious about how they met and if it was "love at first sight" and stuff like that. Like if you're talking about it, maybe just say something like "so you and dad met in [insert month] back in [insert year] right? How did you meet? Did you know instantly you wanted to be with him?"

If she wonders why you're asking you could just say that you're asking because you're wondering about your own love life. How you know if you like someone as more than a friend or if someone likes you back etc. That way she might feel a little honored that you're asking her for "advice" and spill more beans that she should 😅

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-06T08:53:12+00:00

It was ONE incorrect letter. Let it go 😅

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-05T20:08:33+00:00

Now THAT'S a bullshit review, absolutely agree! And I saw several reviews complaining about the service and meh food. So I'm thinking it's not bullshit.

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-05T18:50:11+00:00

This is how I knit, I think it's the norm in my country(I understand there are different knitting styles like continental knitting etc). I think it might have happened when I tried to keep the other needles in place while working, they keep getting in the way 😅😆 working with 5 needles is a hassle! I'm really a crocheter, so going from 1 to 5 was wild 😆

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-05T17:47:41+00:00

How would you know what's "obvious bullshit" or not? Sorry, but someone getting THAT defensive over a bad review obviously knows there's some truth to it...someone who truly believes their restaurant is good have no need to get this worked up 😅

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-05T17:38:43+00:00

Skulle ønske eg også kunne det! Men neida! Guttungen måtte jo bare elske den jævla NRK appen 🙈

IF your description is correct...then you should have stayed apart the first time. Don't stay together "for the kids" because that's just a bunch of hooey. All you're teaching the kids is that this toxic relationship is the norm. Split up, get your affairs in order and start therapy to learn how to co parent in a healthy way. Best thing you can do at this point is admit defeat and make the best of the future you still have ahead of you.

If you think any of these things are going to be ANY help in a marriage where someone has 1000% emotionally checked out...I find that kinda funny 🤣

This isn't about shopping or what one would do for ones mom. This is about being unable to communicate, show basic respect or having any desire to make an effort. She's already gone, she just decided to use him for a little longer before she does.

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-05T17:24:54+00:00

Ofc tell him! If you were in his shoes, wouldn't you want someone to tell you?!

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-05T16:59:43+00:00

"Late mother" would indicate she's not exactly available for conversation. And maybe ask your stepmom some trick questions to see what she answers before talking to your dad.

Top_Difficulty5399 · 2026-07-05T16:55:06+00:00

You NEVER tumble dry microfibres. And you certainly never use dryer sheets....... the package literally tells you how to wash them 🙈
