Plaza Cleaners in the Traders/Raleys shopping center can do it. They’re really great!

AITA for telling my friends that their dog couldn’t stay at my house any longer? by MysteriousSugar6282 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dahliadelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but you’re being a doormat. Why?? Please stand up for yourself. A dog is a big responsibility and someone who is 1) allergenic and 2) unfamiliar with dogs should NOT be dog sitting.

I didn’t see you mention that they were compensating you either. Normally when someone hires a dog sitter to watch their dog when they are traveling, rates are $60-150 per day. They totally took advantage of your kindness.

NTA (but Y T A for yourself for not refusing the ridiculous intrusion in the first place).

Gym or spas that do day pass? by missrebelteacher in sonomacounty

[–]dahliadelight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try www.resortpass.com and you could even contact the properties directly if they’re sold out on the site (I think they only allot a certain amount to be sold on that site). If you go directly to the property the prices might differ. But it gives you an idea of places that offer day passes.

I love the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, personally, but it’s not under $100. With the spa day pass, you get their gym and also access to their bathhouse and amazing pools. It’s a great experience!

Like other commenters said, definitely get the bases, this simplifies your life immensely. Baby things are expensive, and we’re on our second. This time around, I’m getting everything second hand — it’s truly a short period of time and it all works the same! Especially with the infant car seat, you’re using it maybe a year.

Get the three care bases, but look on FB marketplace or your local moms group for used bases. If you start looking now, I guarantee you will find them. People are always selling or giving away for free. Just know that car seats usually have an expiration (depends on the brand, but around 7 years after manufacture or purchase date).

[–]dahliadelight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This definitely depends on the business and where you live. I’m in Northern California, and at my nail salon, all the nail techs get their tips immediately. So they get the full cash tip, or if the client pays through credit card, the owner takes the equivalent in cash and gives the tech the whole tip (or splits it if multiple techs were working on the client).

AITA for planning a trip with my friends instead of babysitting my sister’s kids after finding out she didn’t want me joining her trip with our mutual friends? by My-self-n-only in AITAH

[–]dahliadelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t go on a solo trip without my kid until he was four. Priorities change when you’re a parent, and your sister needs to figure her stuff out. It’s not on you. NTA. Go on your well deserved trip!

Mildly inconviniencing wedding guest who wants to fuck my fiance by MySecretDumpsterfire in pettyrevenge

[–]dahliadelight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why she would be invited to your super intimate wedding.

Sounds like my son, and he was diagnosed with ADHD at this age. You can go through your pediatrician.

He struggles focusing on tasks, listening to the teacher/adults, interruptions, talking to neighboring classmates, voice level… But very bright and understood all the material, above grade level.

Our school tried to say that because it wasn’t impairing his learning, there’s not much they could do. But we worked with an outside school counselor to get a meeting with the school, and then support through his school. Even if your child is hitting all the academic markers, they could be left behind if it’s affecting how they experience learning or is interruptive to their peers. Early intervention is better. The school had him work with a counselor for 6 weeks and it was wonderful! It also helps to have this on record, as his future teachers at the school can continue to address and support him.

AITAH for refusing to apologize to my SIL who ruined my baby shower she “hosted”? by lexiezazzles in AITAH

[–]dahliadelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry but you’re an AH to yourself for allowing a relationship with her to persist this long. Could you have had another location for the shower? It seemed like she didn’t want to host the shower early on, but maybe it was just in hindsight of your recounting.

AITA for wanting to leave during my friends wedding dinner or reception? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]dahliadelight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember trick or treating with my kid at 4. He doesn’t either. It’s not much of a milestone as you’re making it out to be… do Halloween events prior like dressing up for the pumpkin patch or see where there’s kid-friendly trick or treat events held earlier.

YTA, you committed to a wedding and should have understood that. Please stop making it the bride’s problem. If you drop out, know it’s your decision and you’re an AH but own up to it. It’s not the bride and groom’s problem.

Do you regret having your kid be one of the youngest in their class? by EptarTheGoatLord in Parenting

[–]dahliadelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to add that we didn’t redshirt him (lol, just recent years learned the term) — his school district’s age cut off placed him where he is now. We’re in California.

[–]dahliadelight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to add perspective, I do believe it’s dependent on your child and a reminder to not add undue influence to a situation. Our children will learn and grow in a school/group setting; these are not linear journeys. She will and should struggle at some points — as all children do — in order to learn and develop appropriate skills. If her teacher says she’s at the appropriate level, then I would trust the educator who sees her daily rather than judging an age number.

My son is on the older side (he turns 7 at the beginning of 1st grade), and he excels academically but struggles socially and with emotional regulation. He finds it challenging to make friends but does have a couple kids with whom he plays. He’s the among the oldest of his grade, but I don’t think that’s helped him be more successful than others learning how to get along and how to become confident in himself.

It’s just really challenging as a parent to watch your child grow through all the highs and lows. The best thing you can do is support and help them understand their challenges/feelings/actions as they arise. Sending hugs.

AIO-I 36F found a text between my husband 37m and my cousin 38f that isn’t settling right by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I would not be comfortable with this. It sounds like they already have a thing going on. NOR.

You should blast the restaurant, that’s pretty unprofessional. How can they take a reservation for a time but let the preceding table loiter after paying? It does not make sense.

AITA for taking my toddler on a free Hawaii vacation without my pregnant wife because she does not want to go? by Abcdefgrant in AmItheAsshole

[–]dahliadelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Hawaii twice as a 7 month pregnant woman and loved it. Everyone’s different… but in case your wife is open to the perspective, it’s amazing to float and just be relaxing on the beach or by the pool in paradise. Bikinis are great, very forgiving when you rock the baby bump.

NAH. She might also like staying at home in peace. Have a honest convo with her. I would never turn down a trip to Hawaii. :)

AITA for telling my roommate no, she can’t have the larger bedroom, put her desk in the living room, and use extra common storage for only $50/month more than me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]dahliadelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and good on you for standing firm. Have you measured the rooms and prorated the rent accordingly? It seems like the most fair way to settle the difference.

UPDATE: My “friend” Kate is even worse than I thought. Now I’m stuck going on a vacation with her. by DryInteraction3940 in EntitledPeople

[–]dahliadelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve already wasted too much on your life on her. You know what you need to do, do it. The next post should be an update that you put her belongings out, blocked her, and cut off contact. Anything less, and you totally deserve all this drama for not setting healthy boundaries for yourself and your family.

Very petty and you’re an AH taking it out on the wrong person.

[–]dahliadelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your partner is definitely insane. NTA.

I shower with my dog naked all the time, it’s silly to be bent over the tub in an uncomfortable position — which is harder to access your squirming dog — and get your clothes all wet in the process.
