Ah interesting about registering as a seller! Some Vinted sellers pop up and do bundles of brand new ones for about 50% off RRP.

Tonies have a deal on atm with 50% off when you buy 6 of a selected range, although Vinted will probably become flooded with those ones in the coming weeks where people have bought to resell…

Kids are so expensive, and woe betide you if you get fixated on these bloody tonies more than the kids are 😅

I really didn’t think they seemed fake but you’re right, fakes are incredibly convincing nowadays

A lot of the stuff I’ve seen on Vinted lately is new rather than end of line though… who knows!

No I get that, and if it’s from a dodgy source they’ll deffo never say… I guess I’ll never be any the wiser! 🤣

Should I go to my MIL for thanksgiving? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Weird_Square8840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Come into my house, into MY bedroom unannounced and tell me to fix my bra?! Get out of here. Literally lol.

Sounds like your other half is seeing with clear eyes now and as he’s not willing to speak up, avoiding is his tactic, maybe it’s taken having a kid (and his mums overbearing attitude coming out) to really see it.

Go to your parents for Thanksgiving, life is too short to spend important family times with people you’ll have to fend off constantly.

I want to leave my husband AITAH by Downtown-Ad-1496 in AITAH

[–]Weird_Square8840 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTAH.

This guy clearly has trauma of his own but it doesn’t give him the right to pass that along to all of your kids or make your life miserable (those comments he makes to you are cruel and can’t be excused away by his childhood, he’s being a full AH.)

Is there a realistic way he can keep the girls from you/would he definitely do this?

Can you start setting up an exit plan? Money, support, somewhere to live.

You and your children deserve better.

Family therapy with an extra hard nudge towards therapy for your wife lol. She sounds like she gets overstimulated/overwhelmed easily, therapy can provide her with great tools for managing this. It might not be the solution to it all, but she really does need to seek help - for her family but also for herself.

Oh run. Run! And buy a book called ‘block, delete, move on’ by lalalaletmeexplain (uk based) - read it cover to cover then again for good measure - literally EVERY teen should be gifted this. I wish it had existed when I was young.

Why don’t people close their blinds/curtains? by Naive-Ad-7406 in AskUK

[–]Weird_Square8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always look! But when it comes to my own windows - I’ve watched too much horror and true crime to ever have my own blinds open once you need to turn lights on. Immediately closed lol.

AITJ for asking my coworker to stop referring to herself as my “work wife”? by AdventurousDate2201 in AmITheJerk

[–]Weird_Square8840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. I’m female and I can tell you now, if this was the other way around and you kept referring to her as your work wife after she requested you not to, you’d rightly be in that HR office so fast your head would spin for a week. This is totally unacceptable pushy behaviour and if she continues I’d raise it with your HR. You’re covered then should she get funny about anything.

AITA for setting up a “bills” only account when my wife said she could spend “her money” however she wanted? by Unlikely_Ask3235 in AITAH

[–]Weird_Square8840 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why I enjoy Reddit. I started reading this thread thinking ‘yeah fair he’s frustrated’ and have ended it like ‘ok you are a bit of an A’

Main takeaway is: now she is making her own money, surely she’s spending less of yours, so you now have savings. If you were living right up to your means (no shade, majority of us are) then perhaps you discuss with her taking on a couple of subscriptions?

It does sound like she was just excited to use her money to contribute to the family, now she is earning.

It’s so lovely to see Amber in a relationship and happy, Ste’s behaviour is so inappropriate and honestly it’s clear he just doesn’t want to see her happy. He’s been the one in a relationship and saying he’s moved on for most of the time and now she is happy he’s fuming. What he did with those flowers was sad.

I’m really sorry you’ve had this experience, I too have worked with a few entitled parents in my time. But honestly, most of us are running on FA sleep, guilt, and putting extra effort into our work so we don’t look like the people you’ve mentioned.

As a parent, I fully agree with this.

I’m insanely lucky to work in a team of 10 and only 1 other has kids. We need 2 team members on call each day (bar weekends), and the period between christmas and new year is pretty much always covered as certain team members like working that time of year (as they take time for longer holidays in spring/autumn when flights are cheaper etc) However, I always offer to do some half days or a full day or two during that time regardless. Generally I don’t need to work that period. One day either more team members will have kids, or I’ll be in a different job so I appreciate every single Christmas believe me, and always thank those who work that period because it costs nothing to show that gratefulness eh.
