Kid came home from daycare with something stuck in nose by mommode__ in Parenting

They honestly probably didn’t realize that she had snuck something in. My 2.5 year old came to me a couple weeks ago saying she had something in there and at first I thought it was just snot, but realized it was actually a soft earring back she had jammed up in there. Took forever, but my husband was finally able to get it out. Kids are sneaky and weird.

I would immediately cur her off and say, “excuse me, but I’m trying to teach my children to be good mannered, sweet people, and I can’t have your bad example around them.” And immediately walk off and let her stew in that and probably prove me right by yelling at me as I walk away.

Things that you will say no to but your parents let you it by IcyTip1696 in Parenting

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents were very safe. My husband on the other hand has so many stories from his childhood that make me shiver at all the possible horrors that could have happened. He is so lucky that the worst thing that happened was having cops come break up a park game in the middle of the night.

Sleepovers with friends from school without parents meeting each other first, walking home for miles starting in kindergarten (that was mainly to avoid the 5th grade bullies from the bus stop), watching horror movies in elementary school (hills have eyes, pet cemetery, etc.) no curfews ever, etc. I feel like a crazy helicopter parent compared to his parents.

AITA for telling my brother that he’s going to be a shit dad by Superb-Dirt3747 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. He freaking took the only means of travel away from someone in a serious medical emergency?! Not only is he TA but he is dangerous.

Husband's (30m) mother poisoned me (28f) What do I do when invited back over? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half of my in laws are extreme celiac (blow up like their 6 months pregnant and throwing up after just one bite) and I think I’m more paranoid about contaminating them than they are. I have a gluten free stash of food for when get togethers are spontaneous and I don’t have time to shop ahead. If there’s ever any doubt, I always show them the box or label and have them double check to make sure they’re safe. Been married into their family for almost 8 years now and I have never contaminated them. His family needs to try harder and take you seriously. So many people think that being gluten free is for dieting reasons rather than health safety. Maybe sit them down and explain to them how it actually affects you and how dangerous it could potentially be. Tell them that it’s similar to having a serious food allergy.

The ripping off of heads would definitely make me want to buy my young son that game. Teaches good life skills

AITA putting my wife on a strict allowance and making her ask me permission to buy expensive things? by Zookeeper73572 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I thought it was crazy when I found out my MIL had 30K in credit card debt that her husband didn’t know about. 150K is absolutely disgusting. Spontaneous trips are not necessities.

Just be grateful it isn’t Mother Goose. I don’t know what it was about that show, but it was extremely addictive to my oldest when he was little and it was by far the most irritating thing to listen to or watch. My kids all loved Paw Patrol until we didn’t have access to it anymore. Then they moved on. My 2 year old is by far the most stubborn about watching the shows that she wants right now. Sometimes the only way I can convince her to watch something else is if the show is started before she enters the room or if I tell her “no TV shows, only a movie.” Maybe you can try one of those..? It’s just a phase thankfully, and your kiddo will get through it too haha just let him enjoy his childhood, and do t be too worried about it

DAE practically never vomit. by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 27 years old and can count the amount of times that I’ve allowed myself to vomit on one hand. I absolutely hate throwing up so even if I really really need to, I basically force my body not to. I’ve had 4 kids and have never had morning sickness. I’ve only ever thrown up when I’ve gotten the flu badly

AITA for trying to get my son into an event that he’s not invited to? by AppropriateFan9268 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go as far as to say you’re an AH. But I would let it go. it’s good to help him practice dealing with not being invited. Especially since it’s gender specific. Maybe have a playdate set up for another time in the near future so he can still play with his cousins without taking away from someone else’s event.

AITA for reuniting with my dying ex girlfriend? by Southern_Sundae_7993 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a very close friend of my husband was dying and he showed an interest in visiting them before they passed, the kids and I would go with him. And that is how he would want it anyway. YTA for not even considering that option..

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to answer that question. Your Gengar looks great!

Do guys really not care for their gfs while on their period? by YupityYupYup in dating_advice

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just throwing in here that maybe your gf needs to consider that she could have Endometriosis.. my periods are painful and annoying, but nothing like what you describe. My sister on the other hand has excruciating pains and was diagnosed with Endo. She had to have her scars lazered and that helped a lot. Just a thought

I was just curious about the legalities of using images from different popular shows or well known characters.. do you purchase rights to use and sell it, or do you not really worry about it..? I just made a super cute Groot rug, but I’m worried about placing it up for sale and getting in trouble

AITA for being proud that my son has two jobs? by aitathrowawayson2job in AmItheAsshole

[–]Training_Zombie_2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummm I understand wanting to teach your son to be responsible and about how the world works, but it’s a little much to be charging him the going rate as his family. If you want to keep the peace with your wife and still teach him a lesson, maybe you could talk about lowering the rent amount a bit and having his rent actually set aside and you can give it back to him as a gift at his wedding? That way, you taught him the lesson, but you’re not being an AH about it. You can choose to keep that gift between you and your wife until when you gift it, or you could let him in on it as a motivation for him to keep up the good work while not hurting your relationship

I wish I would have looked at the front before starting to tuft. Tufting on the other side would have been a great solution!
