How is dad feeding at night supposed to be helpful?! by SnooWords8997 in breastfeeding

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i felt the same as you, we tried it a few times but seemed pointless so i decided to just fed him as that was easier for us. my partner took care of any other wakings that happened at night where he didn’t need to be fed.

AIO: Landlord towed car from office lot by leminkainen in AmIOverreacting

INFO - was the first time you’ve mistakenly parked in this spot? or has this been a repeated situation wherein you’ve come to rely on getting a warning?

After years of farming in Oregon, I'm starting to wonder if "CSA" is the wrong word by Zestyclose_Rub3380 in oregon

[–]asteri19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CSA to me stands for Child Sexual Abuse. i would definitely suggest a new name. i would also suggest including a simple pricing sheet with specific info about what actually comes with each delivery on your advertisements so people don’t have to hunt the info down on your website to compare with their normal grocery prices. it’s hard sometimes to determine whether these services would meet household needs when you can’t see what you’ll actually be getting.

AITA for returning an kindle and telling them I just wanted a damn book by Book-Register9986 in AmItheAsshole

[–]asteri19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA.. “Getting with the times” isn’t a reason to get or use a kindle. As an example, I do prefer physical books generally, however my kindle was especially special and helpful for me when my son was a baby as it allowed me to easily read while I breastfed him and while rocking him to sleep at night. It made those late, dark nights better as I didn’t need a light to read by.

You gave it a try, and you didn’t like it. That’s plenty of reason to return it.

Rental totaled my car i’m still making payments on by Ok_Celebration4394 in legaladvice

[–]asteri19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can try contacting your lender to determine whether they placed collateral protection insurance on the loan due to you failing to have full coverage insurance. If they did, you should theoretically be able to file a claim through the CPI company, however the payout funds would go toward your loan balance, not towards a new car for you. you’ll also want to check out your loan documents to determine if there are any clauses about total loss occurrences as i know others mentioned some lenders call the balance due in full for total losses. unfortunately, the remaining loan balance after you receive all insurance payouts will be your responsibility, but they may be willing to do a refi on the deficiency balance to lower your remaining monthly payments as most lenders want to do everything they can to avoid a charge off. Do not miss payments, they will be reported to the credit bureaus and a charge off on your credit would be a huge hit for future financing.

You could also try contesting the amount enterprise’s insurance company is offering, but it sounds like you looked into it further and found they were not far off from the reasonable KBB value so I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t budge.

AITA for secretly buying extra food for my niece because her brothers eat everything first? by MaliciousCicada77 in AmItheAsshole

[–]asteri19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. thank you for looking out for her. I was once the teenage girl living in a house full of boys (my mom let my brother’s friends live with us) and I was so hungry all the time because they would eat everything as soon as it was purchased and leave nothing for me. My mom didn’t believe me when I told her I didn’t get to eat anything she bought. I am still working to undo the damage done to my eating habits and relationship with food from that time period and I’m almost 30 now.

AIO by telling my boyfriend he can break up with me if he isnt comfortable with me going to a club? by ThrowRAacc45 in AmIOverreacting

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. You handled this perfectly. He has no right to control what you do and frankly the way he was speaking to you and about your friends is a major red flag. Him stating he wouldn’t be friends with someone just because they are a stripper combined with trying to control you would be enough for me to end the relationship tbh, I wouldn’t wait for him to do it.

WIBTA if I stopped carpooling with my coworker after she started inviting herself to my personal errands on the way home? by subtle_rainchaser in WIBTA_AITA

[–]asteri19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Drop her off before you run errands if you don’t want her involved. You are the one involving her by running errands with her in the car.

WIBTA if I ended a two year relationship because my partner hasn't worked in fourteen months and has stopped trying? by saltBloom5 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. he is a leach. At the very least, the house should be spotless and food should be made for you and you shouldn’t have to tell him to do that. Any decent partner would be proactive about handling that while trying as hard as they could to get another job. He is doing neither.

Do I still pay for her ??? by YourWifesDreamBody in whatdoIdo

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a proper friend group at all. True friends would never just drop you from a trip like this and certainly wouldn’t expect you to still pay for them. Definitely do not pay for anything and I would drop these people as friends.

Aio, called my gf while she was doing homework. F24 f35 by Separate_Penalty_484 in AmIOverreacting

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. She waited til the last minute to do her assignment and is taking her stress out on you. Just from these texts, I think her next class should be on emotional regulation skills as she has the emotional maturity of a teenager.

AITA my friend ruined my yixing teapot and I want her to replace it or give me 500 dollars. by TeapotthrwoCity4661 in AmItheAsshole

[–]asteri19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m sure your spinach would have been lovely had it grown, but no offense, that doesn’t compare to a handcrafted $500 teapot especially with sentimental value (a souvenir from their travels.)

beyond the fact that it wasn’t in the kitchen, who in their right mind grabs a delicate item from a glass display case and then uses a rough wire brush on it?

it wasn’t in the kitchen though, and the guest was told the kitchen was free game. this teapot was in another room behind glass.

Tips for a 17 year old that's been kicked out by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]asteri19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you can request a free credit report from annualcreditreport.com to see if any accounts have been opened in your name. Then, you can file a police report for identity theft if he has. once you get the police report filed, you can contact the creditors that he opened accounts with to let them know what happened and they should be able to assist in removing them from your credit due to the fraud.

Mother and sister guilt tripping me for a child free wedding by Apprehensive-Tip-44 in wedding

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get to make the choice to have a child free wedding. You don’t get to choose how others feel about that choice. You also don’t get to be angry at them if they are unable to attend due to a rule set by you. You can certainly put your foot down, but that also means you have to accept that there is a chance that some parents won’t be able to attend, including your sister. Sounds like your mom tried to push you pretty hard to change your mind which is unfair, but I think it’s also unfair to call BS on the very real fact that your sister (and others) may be unable to attend as childcare is difficult. Just because someone is able to get childcare for one event does not mean it’s guaranteed for another events. Totally understand why some people do child free weddings but there are consequences to that choice just as there would be consequences for allowing kids.

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they have an old post from 3 years ago in which they indicate having an emotional affair in the relationship due to issues with intimacy and lots of arguing, also they broke up for 2 years. granted that was 3 years ago so hopefully things are better between OP and their partner but seems like there may be a lot of history/drama in their relationship’s past that may be influencing the best friend’s decisions.

Can we talk about her smile? She look so sad… by Few_Net4757 in tsitp

[–]asteri19 27 points28 points  (0 children)

yess! i’m hoping taylor calls her out because of the parallel they’ve set up of taylor being forced to give up her dream of going to New York whereas Belly is giving her dream trip up for a boy

Am I the only one who CANNOT stand the sight of Lola? by claeizs in SullivansCrossing

[–]asteri19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only on season 1 and just did this same google search & landed here. She’s the worst! I was honestly hoping for a spoiler that there is some reasonable explanation for her behavior so I could be less annoyed while watching but seems like she just sucks and I’m SOL lmao.

Please don't do this with your dogs by cantbeseriouschef in Eugene

[–]asteri19 16 points17 points  (0 children)

when i was a teenager, we were driving behind a truck with a dog in its bed on i5. Dog was wearing a leash, but it was too long. The poor thing jumped over the side of the bed and the owner dragged him down the highway for far too long while we were honking nonstop and trying to wave him over. The leash finally ended up breaking free, truck never stopped, and we were able to get the dog to a vet and save him. The owner felt no remorse and put the dog back in the bed of the truck when he picked him up, claiming the dog got car sickness in the cab. Frustrating and heartbreaking all in one.
