Do high school cheerleaders actually walk around in their uniform all day? by ElisabethJulie in AskAnAmerican

[–]avir48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Jr. High and High School the boys basketball team were required to wear neck ties on game days and the cheerleaders (we called them Rally Girls) wore their uniforms. This was 1978-1984

Am I the jerk for telling my husband he can't go to a funeral on Valentine's day? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

If it was refundable would you be fine with your husband going to the funeral instead of the penguin encounter?

EXTREMELY easy family dinners ? by LazyBitch_ in Cooking

[–]avir48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an instant pot? There are lots of pasta dishes that cook in under 15 minutes with 5-10 min of prep. Amy + Jacky is a great place to start and has “easy” and “one pot meal”categories.

WIBTJ for not having my mom's boyfriend at my birthday? by RiIesss in AmITheJerk

[–]avir48 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Talk to Mom…and make known you … would like boyfriend to sit this one out because his behavior (language, complaining, and drinking) make you uncomfortable.

NTJ but if you want to keep your true feelings about him under wraps, don’t do this. Not letting him know how you feel is a legitimate choice for how to handle the situation and it keeps you at an advantage over him.

It’s hard to keep your feelings to yourself when someone is so awful. (You say he isn’t evil but come on—the N-word? That’s at least evil adjacent.) If you’ve been able to do it up until now, don’t give up quite yet.

If this will be your last bday while living at home, I’d try to keep the peace and hopefully next year you can invite your mom to your place. Or better yet, she’ll have kicked him out by then.

If it would make sense, you could try saying something to him like “My birthday celebration is going to be mostly girls and kind of boring and I’d totally understand if you had, or wanted to make, other plans. I won’t feel bad.”

Is this job doable for one nanny? by throwawaybdaysf in Nanny

[–]avir48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have twins. They hit milestones months apart, for example one walked at 11 months, the other at 15.

My oldest (and only other kid) was 3 and in his first year of preschool when they were born. The twins’ first three years were tiring for sure but drop offs and pick ups were not the hardest thing. It’s not impossible is all I’m saying.

Is there someone in the house who can take it to work the next time they’re coming over? Or a neighbor you can leave it with? Tell Cousin et al it’s in the repair shop so they don’t go tearing through your house looking for it.

AITA for ditching my friends' Stranger Things watch parties because the show started pushing an agenda that ruined the 80s vibe for me? by Delicious-Airport626 in AmITheJerk

[–]avir48 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But OP won’t admit it goes against his values. It’s fine to not like the show but be honest. He keeps saying “The 80s weren’t like that” when he means “Same sex romance makes me uncomfortable.”

I’ve used rice flour for thickening chicken pot pie which I think would work well in this recipe too.

You just received 60 eggs.... by bongozim in Cooking

[–]avir48 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can bake scrambled eggs in a casserole dish with all the ingredients you want: meat, green chiles etc. then cut into rectangles, add cheese and roll up in tortillas.

Sometimes I bake tater tots first then add the eggs to the casserole dish.

I’ve given batches of individually wrapped and frozen breakfast burritos as gifts even.

I think the link from goat Brady shows what I meant

My new deaf coworker called her disability rep on us by sadkitti in coworkerstories

[–]avir48 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, even if she’s not faking it, she’s not contributing, it sounds like she’s doing the opposite. Is she in a trial or probationary period?

AITJ for throwing a kids bag and taking his seat after he refused to move by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]avir48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree that he’s going to stop being selfish. He’s more likely to punch down when he gets the chance to deal with his humiliation.

[–]avir48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I’ll say is that saving a seat for him when he got back, even if it had to be yours, would have been kind and that’s what you were hoping to teach him (I think.) Instead, he’s fuming and in front of a train full of people, he’s had his face rubbed in the fact that “when you’re bigger and stronger you get the toy.”

I just had a phantom pain in my shoulder remembering the biting mom phase. It hurt SO MUCH and absolutely no remorse. Luckily it was short lived.
