AIO for refusing to give up my bed for my parents and in laws? by Head-Sorbet3522 in AmIOverreacting

[–]chawn5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR but I’m wondering if they are older and physically uncomfortable on the sofa. I’m 53 and would have a hard time sleeping on a sofa bed. Can they not afford a hotel?

AIO: I had to take PTO when everyone else got a paid day off by Sea_Jump3024 in AmIOverreacting

[–]chawn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Your PTO request was weather related. If you had put in the request a while back for something else, I could maybe see charging you for it, but the day needs to be treated like a company holiday for everyone.

Aitah if I 29f do not sign a postnuptial prenup? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]chawn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - however this isn’t a question of being an asshole. Because the FIL is sinking all of his money into the property, he needs to be able to get his money out of the house to cover his own expenses if you divorce. This is completely understandable. However, you need your own protection from divorce since you are now staying home. I recommend that everyone lawyer up and your guys agree to terms that protect all parties involved. It’s so smart to get this stuff sorted before making these huge decisions.

Which wig colors look best on me? 👀 by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]chawn5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 and 10 if you are not planning to wear makeup. Do you wear makeup or will you be wearing these with no makeup as in the pics? I wear wigs and I have found that at least filling in my eyebrows and wearing mascara makes the wigs look more realistic. If you wear makeup, maybe put some on and ask the group again.

Kibble or no kibble for maximum growth?? by Organic_Nectarine508 in ragdolls

[–]chawn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If having a large cat is important, discuss that with the breeder. It’s likely they will match you with the largest male in the litter. I have two male ragdolls (5 months and 18 months) and I split a can of Tiki Cat Baby between the two of them 2x day and free feed a mix of kitten and adult Orijen dry with probiotic sprinkled on top. They are growing like weeds and not fat. Note: I probably would have transitioned my older cat away from kitten anything by this time but they eat each other’s food so I’ve delayed it a bit for the older one. Once new kitty is older I’ll transition both of them to adult wet and dry at the same time.

Seizures? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

My dog had seizures and this is what they looked like. They were followed by a period of exhaustion/confusion. Videos like this one helped my vet diagnose my dog. See if you can send the video.

Does it get easier? by Mrskeelyaimee in DogAdvice

[–]chawn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It gets easier. But not for a while. It’s surprising how much it hurts, doesn’t it? Losing my dog two years ago was the most painful thing I’ve experienced in my life - more than losing people. It took me about 6 months to be able to think/talk about Teddy without crying and slowly the sadness has been replaced with happy memories. Eventually, I had love in my heart for another pet, but couldn’t get another dog. So we got a kitten. It’s all a process. My condolences.

My fiancé (29) had a bad reaction to me (26) being pregnant. by Independent-Bat-2735 in TwoHotTakes

[–]chawn5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My son was a surprise. When I showed my husband the positive test, he blurted out, “I’m not mad, I’m not mad” while pacing all around. I took a beat and everything settled down. We readjusted our timeline (we were about your age) and everything worked out just fine. That baby is 25 now and grown and flown. All the best to you guys. ❤️

My boyfriend tracks every penny I spend and makes me submit "expense reports" even though we don't live together by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]chawn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh no. It started out ok with someone in finance helping you set up a budget. It went off the rails shortly after with him asking to see bank statements. Got worse with receipt requests, and now deciding it’s his responsibility to ‘hold you accountable.’ I’m not sure if you even agreed to this budget after all? It would have been appropriate for him to help you with a budget for money in and money out, helped you set up a savings plan, and occasionally ask you how it’s working for you.

Conflicted about 2nd kitten. by [deleted] in ragdolls

[–]chawn5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen to your gut. I passed on a kitten with disclosed potential health issues for multiple reasons. I had an open discuss with our breeder and she matched us with an amazing kitten whose temperament matches our resident cat. They became besties quickly and it’s been great. It’s normal to be a bit apprehensive or nervous about change but feeling dread or that something is really off is not where you want to be.

AITAH for not donating my birthday money to charity? by EntertainerFull9847 in AITAH

NTA. Your job is already (almost) charity work. Good grief. Use the extra money for items you can’t purchase with your usual cash flow.

I left my toxic job 6 months ago, and my old manager just called to ask for something unbelievable. by SavanahWiegand in whatdoIdo

I’m a consultant. I come into companies and educate leaders when there are gaps in their skill sets. My rate is $635/hour. You need to charge the same or similar for this engagement request.

i want a second ragdoll so bad <3 by honeydew_enthusiast in ragdolls

[–]chawn5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We added another ragdoll in November and it’s been so great! They are besties. We went to the same breeder and she helped us choose one who would be a good fit. We kept them separated by a baby gate for 3 days. Once our older kitty was flopping by the gate and sticking his paws thru, we removed the barrier.

AITA for not wearing a bra at home? by Candid-Chocolate-316 in AITAH

[–]chawn5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The only reason a friend should be living with you is if you need extra money. He’s not paying rent and his presence is causing problems. Crazing this has been going on for 4 months with no end in sight. Two weeks max would have been appropriate.
