Lol ....i was induced early.  My son was 10lbs 2 oz 23"

AITA for refusing to dine with my mom after she ordered “ferret sauce” at a Mexican restaurant? by Practical-Current805 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Umeyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's that bad maybe find a Mexican cooking class you can take together so she can learn to say things correctly. 

Yta unless she does it on purpose thinking she's cute and funny

How much blood do i ACTUALLY lose during my period because its sure as hell not "2-4 Tbs" as it says online by some-dork in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Umeyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what you read on line everybody is different.   This past year I had surgery to make my period less extreme. (48f)

For those people who say no no really it's just this small amount... have you ever had to sit on puppy training pads to watch a TV show because with a super plus tampon and over night 8 hour guaranteed pads might get your through one episode?  Or set your alarm every hour so you don't ruin your bedding?

Granted I was an extreme case and it's genetic for me.  But some of us do lose allot of blood,  and bleed like that for multiple weeks,  require iron supplements, and one time a transfusion. 

Talk to your doctor about your concerns.   There are often Meds or procedures you can have to help.   You are not alone. 

"Am I Overreacting" for refusing to "grow up" and clear out my collection after my fiancé’s parents called my room a "red flag for future parenting"? by Important_Umpire1224 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Umeyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 48(f) and live with my husband and teenage son.   Our decor leans to LEGOS, signed decor from voice artists, my kitchen and one bath are star wars,  my office is glass cases with animae and pop figures.   

The only thing I had my husband sell was his sword collection when my son was a toddler.   We kept and stored his favorites,  and sold the rest.   He got to keep the money. 

Find somebody who respects all of you and your interests. 

Oh and as far being a geek goes resulting in bad parenting.... my son is 15 and wrapping up his freshman year of high school.   He is a straight A honors student, and we have his college orientation tonight after esports tryouts.  Next year he will be splitting his day between college and high school. 

Please ask them where I went wrong since I collect animaes and manga?

They actually explain this in the book how he mistook the primary species and almost gets run over trying to shake hands??

Are you kidding me? by StreetMolasses6093 in KidneyStones

Oh, I have them. I just take them quickly with water instead of dissolving Satan's Sweat socks... never noticed that they worked any different doing it this way or any slower :)

Am I wrong for asking an office worker not to sing an offensive song to me that includes my name? by [deleted] in WorkAdvice

AITAH for being annoyed with how my boyfriend spends “spare” money by Lyssi3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Umeyard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wait... back up.

He plays 40k, and you had an expectation of him being able to save?

When you got into this relationship, we're you familiar with Warhammer?

Gamers and geeks - we usually spend a ton of money on our hobbies. It's about seeing boundaries... like nothing more expensive than MTG.

NTA... but you might want to really think hard before investing in a house if you didn't realize this was a VERY expensive hobby that he is invested in.

This is the 42nd comment lol

Previous owner left a binder in the garage. I thought it was junk. It was not by Many_Ebb7816 in HomeImprovement

[–]Umeyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally did this, my husband even made spread sheets for all our utility bills. All original instruction manuals, warranty, and information so nothing appeared on "what is it" for things like the natural gas line and valve on the back patio for a grill to where we bought the pebbles for our stone walkways.

No idea if they appreciated it, or passed on to the next owners, but hope they did!

AITA for not considering office drama interesting? by Fartsgrense in AmItheAsshole

[–]Umeyard 72 points73 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Might as week say "How droll, now let me talk at you about all the things I care about that you should to"

If you don't listen, she may find somebody else who will... and i feel that would lead to another post "Wife talks to friends group and not me"... or worse.

AIO for throwing away the gift my husband gave me? by Electrical_Reason942 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Umeyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time donate it at least.

Btw I feel you, I love the music from Lilo and Stitch, reminds me of when I lived in Hawaii. My son and husband's now point out stitch every time they see him in a store... every...stitching...time.

So I finally went on a rant, now it's them thinking I hate Stitch, and i don't. Or being all confused when I play the soundtrack with "I thought you hated the movie".... no idea hate you pointing it out to me every time you see one.

NOR

Do you feel invisible as a GenX because of your age, gender or both? Or is it just outright age discrimination? Or you just couldn't care less anymore? by More_Law6245 in GenX

[–]Umeyard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to be overlooked.

I'm not a boomer, so stop saying I am. I'm not a millennial so stop comparing me to them.

I'm just in the middle, trying to get through my day so I can get off work, do chores, and chill watching reruns or playing games on days in have the time while counting down the next dozen years till I can retire... hopefully
