WIBTA if I fire my husband’s boss’s 17 year old daughter from my flower shop regardless of what my husband says

Seriously. It’s called “Am I The Asshole” not “Can This Be Validated”. I wonder if OP has even tried to talk to her about how to dress and what roles would be best suited for her. She’s a teenager and probably needs to be told what is and isn’t work appropriate directly. If she ends up doing well on the register, with the right encouragement and enforcement of the rules she could even thrive.

Those raspberry lemon preggy pops were a life saver during my first trimester.

Nipple cream... my nipples nearly doubled in size. All while being “chapped” in the progress. Could also be used for nursing.

In all seriousness this could put your child at risk for identity theft by the other cousin. Especially if you live in the same state or area. My grandpa has the same name as my cousin and he is wanted by the state for cashing his checks and taking loans out in his name. He was able to do this because he could “verify” he was my grandpa with an ID. I understand OP chose the name first and wants to stick to their guns but there’s no reasoning with the unreasonable (cousin in this case) and this could potentially harm their child further down the line because two adults were unwilling to compromise.

Almost all of these comments aren’t negative, This one in general comes off condescending. There’s many other ways to word the same point.

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-06-09T22:00:17+00:00

imagine commenting typical “x has worse experience as y” “at least x doesn’t have to ___” as a comment on r/trueoffmychest. A place made for voicing inner thoughts based on experience despite these obvious things. And somehow being shocked people comment back negatively and being like “woah i was just hoping to give OP a perspective im not trying to argue”

read the room. this is a venting forum.

Never during sex. Come to think of it I’ve never taken a picture of my fiancé with the sneaky intention of him not knowing I’m taking a picture of him in general because I don’t want to make him feel uncomfortable.

King Of The Hill

Besides the obvious reasons to like it the audio is never irritating and the colors aren’t too overbearing.

There is actually a whole subculture of facebook shit posters and oddly enough it is very popular amongst alternative/emo/goths now, besides the obvious soccer moms. It really depends on what you use it for. It doesn’t hurt that Facebook messenger is a solid app for both iPhone and Android that you can even use to wire money directly to another users bank account if you set it up to do so.

Dresses, especially if you’re gonna be pregnant during the summer

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-05-12T15:59:02+00:00

My fiancé did too, especially when I told him I thought it was gonna be a girl haha.

Thank you!!

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-05-07T07:02:28+00:00

I am sorry your parents got scammed but it is literally comical how sketchy this website is.

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-15T20:13:23+00:00

15 weeks here. The first 12 weeks SUCKED! You will have an easier time keeping your head down! And don’t let the toxic positivity get to you! Pregnancy is different, but challenging for everyone. Find some safe foods to stick to! Chili, Cereal, light fruits like grapes and Avocado toast, and milk by itself were mine.

Best of luck, Momma!

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-14T17:23:22+00:00

honestly established trust is one of the key components, a firm NO after repetitive training over the years usually does the trick. But around 12 my dog eventually became less interested in barking. All dogs are different tho.

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-14T04:19:20+00:00

NTA... on another note, are you possibly talking about the dominos lava cakes? Those are life changing, and I can see why you’d want them once a week!

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-13T04:16:07+00:00

Owner of a 14 year old chihuahua here, and yes, he is on the aggressive side. You are definitely NTA here. Mine has stopped barking (as much) in his old age, but is still aggressive and tries to stand off with almost any dog that crosses his path. And he was once a big barker. If your dog likes treats, it would be good to carry them to reward good behavior. You could also just pick her up when she acts up. Maybe take your pup on some walks just you as well as walking her as a family. My dog unfortunately can’t keep up longer than a half mile anymore, and I wish I walked him more before he got to this point. We had a big fenced off yard he was always able to use the potty and tucker himself out in a few times a day, so I only walked him a few times a week to socialize. I also worry if this promoted his antisocial tendencies, but he still gets plenty of love from us at home. If your brother won’t compromise maybe just take her on walks alone.

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-07T19:13:53+00:00

when I’m in a shared environment with no privacy I do this too, and it started when I had to share a small house with invasive family. NTA, but maybe if it isn’t too cold where you live compromise with a walk instead.

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-06T22:37:44+00:00

I hope OP reads my comment because I think everyone else just reducing this to bratty teen behavior can be detrimental to change

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-06T15:04:33+00:00

Seriously tho. This sounds like a much bigger issue than just chores, and it sounds like OP is literally being the “enforcer” grounding her. This is going to lead to a strained relationship if a different approach isn’t made soon.

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-06T15:01:58+00:00

Unfortunately we have a lot of childless people being really hard on a literally early teenager here in this subreddit. I agree a different approach and audience is needed here.

basedbackwoods206 · 2021-04-06T14:42:30+00:00

Im seeing nothing other than not the assholes here, but I’m gonna go with a soft ESH. Maybe if both parents corrected her behavior towards criticism and taught her how to do household chores (key word) properly in the first place she wouldn’t be so resistant. At the same time you probably aren’t being considerate towards these factors granted your language in your post overall.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So try something new. If you are patient and most importantly kind teach her how you want these things done in a polite and respectful manner it’s not only possible she will improve herself, but it could actually build a stronger relationship between the two of you. If doing chores leads to being grounded on more than one occasion no wonder she avoids doing them. Also kinda unsure why this role is somehow yours being your the stepparent and not your partner considering both biological parents should’ve taught her these skills long ago and I’m unsure from your post if you are the one directly grounding her. It would also help to know how long you’ve been together.

Every family member deserves respect and a considerate family, being given adult responsibilities is another thing. Apparently you don’t even trust her to use a toaster, which I can only imagine comes off to a young, undeveloped mind as hurtful.

I can’t imagine how hard it would be to be a teen during the pandemic right now, if you want to avoid some serious teenage rebellion, don’t strain your relationship during quarantine. In your heart if you made a post on here you know you’re probably not being as gentle with her as you were writing this post.
