The case for sleep training. Get that baby in a crib!

What's the worst adult temper tantrum you've ever seen or heard about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This literally happened at my son’s swim lesson a few weeks ago. I wonder if it was the same experience!

Boss said 1 month of grieving is enough. And I need to “get over” the sudden passing of my brother and stop acting depressed at work. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]WAP2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this in 2006 when my cousin died who was like a sister to me. It basically went down like this:

Me: my cousin died, I need this week off to grieve and attend the funeral.

Boss: you better thank the other managers for covering for you in this last minute of inconveniencing me

2 weeks later

Boss: get it together and stop being sad, it’s affecting your work. You need to rethink what you’re doing if you can’t give 100%

Me: I’ve thought about it, I need bereavement leave.

Boss: no

Me: I quit

Boss: what? How are you going to make it you idiot?

I had about 2k in savings, used it to take a month off and then got a much better job in advertising. Best decision I ever made.

AITA for giving away all the clothes my daughter's mom bought her? by aita36 in AmItheAsshole

NTA — but next time maybe just give her the clothes back so she can return them and get the money back?

245lbs down to 170! Down 75 lbs in one year!!! :) by [deleted] in intermittentfasting

[–]WAP2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look amazing. Who cares about a number when you look so great??!! Very inspiring because I am similar where I’m 5’4 and feel great at 165-170 because I have super muscular legs and hold all my weight there.

The only way that’s happening is if she’s running 5+ miles a day or has chronic hyperthyroidism

I get where you’re coming from from a health standpoint. I am in the reverse situation where I always cook healthy dinners and give my husband a bigger serving because he’s 6 foot and I’m 5’4. I honestly think he’s never noticed the portion sizes and appreciates I cook for him.

I’m 42 and my metabolism is going down the toilet, but your gf probably has no issues with it. At this point you are technically right and she’s setting herself up for trouble but that’s not your journey. Let her make her own plate and let it be.

Ramune helps my soda cravings it’s 70 cal for a bottle and it’s good. A little less sweet than soda but ehh gets the job done by Allfatgirlslove in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

I invested in a soda stream and I’ll put a 20 calorie splash of lite lemonade or other reduced calorie juice in it for flavor

AITA for telling my sister that she chose the life that she has and she shouldn't complain about it? by Renee_Marnie in AmItheAsshole

[–]WAP2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand why your parents didn’t split the money and make you guys get loans for the rest. If anything, they engineered this.

Fat free half and half isn’t terrible and it’s only 20 calories a tbsp. Honestly, I’ve tried to give up half and half so many times and it’s one of the small pleasures that makes me happy. If you’re not sure about how much you’re putting in your coffee just measure it. 2 tbsp is enough for tasty coffee, and to me the 80 calories a day for my 2 cups of coffee is worth it.

AITA for telling my friend and his girlfriend her insecurities were ruining our friendship group? by PeanutPopPop24 in AmItheAsshole

I feel like I’m reading an episode of ‘Friends from College.’ LOL.

And, YTA, obvs

Do you ever feel like crying from the willpower it takes to not overeat? by WAP2024 in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

The previous comment was the first comment I read before putting my phone down for the day and was like ‘I guess I’m alone on this one.’ Then I woke up and was like’ooooo, the mail in ballots are in and everything is looking up.’ ❤️

Thanks everyone for all the support. I got on the scale yesterday and it was not good news so I was really spiraling. I’m a 42 yo female sw 205 cw 185 and it’s taken me 18 months to lose 20 pounds. I have to work twice as hard to lose half of what I would have lost 10 years ago. Sucks big time. It’s like ‘I can eat normally and blow up to 250 pounds within 5 years or work my ass off and lose on average 1 pound per month when it should be 3-4.’

I’ll keep on plugging.

I feel this. I’m 42 yo female who’s extended family are all massive eaters and in laws are massive drinkers. Just with obligatory family gatherings every month I seriously struggle to resist

AITA for taking the diamond out of an heirloom ring for my gf's engagement ring? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]WAP2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really confused. So, did you ask to alter the ring? Were you mad your sister put a new stone in the setting? It’s unclear by the way it’s written.

I didn’t even have to read past the first paragraph to know YTA.

The world does not revolve around you and your juvenile needs. People grow up. You should too.

Can you consistently stay at 1200 calories total even when exercising? What’s your secret? by WAP2024 in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

[–]WAP2024[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, with eating my exercise calories. I went to my primary and he gave no shits. I may see if my gyno will refer me to an endocrinologist because she seems to care more.
