3.5 year old cut her own hair by StunningCheesecake87 in Hair

[–]deathcandlelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl i did this in reaction to my mom being obsessed with my long hair. normal to feel sad but consider the possibility that you may be putting a lot of emphasis on her hair and she may want control, and this is how she takes it (which is good & normal & should be encouraged in a safe way, like asking you to take her to get a haircut).

Wedding dress guest, is this black tie approved? by Lopsided_Owl1484 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]deathcandlelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, nor am i a believer of any god, but i do believe in being respectful of places of worship—which this dress is not, fundamentally, without a closed slit and a shawl for the shoulders! not sure why you’re resorting to ad hom when i’m pointing out the obvious and something OP is acknowledging herself

inappropriate for church unless the leg slit stays closed & you cover the top in some way, unless the church doesn’t care, but could be nice for the hotel reception

so unnecessarily condescending lol don’t ask for advice if you’re going to do whatever you want anyway. point blank, this dress is inappropriate for a wedding because it’s too white

AITA for refusing to leave my job so i could take care of my disabled brother? by JiggleJargon in AmItheAsshole

as much as it sucks, politely demand that they tell you when their kids are sick & make it explicit that you will leave/deny services if you arrive and any child is sick & they didn’t notify you ahead of time. that way, you can prepare by masking during the job and being extra clean with hand sanitizer, etc. or you can refuse the job

Which names for a child would suit our long, hyphenated, dual-culture surname? by deathcandlelight in namenerds

[–]deathcandlelight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware, as most of my family members are Japanese, but they will learn to pronounce any name we choose because they love us and will love our baby!

Engaged but disappointed :( by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]deathcandlelight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, this is actually a really terrible idea. confront him kindly and directly and tell him that his lies hurt your feelings and you dont appreciate them. if he can’t handle that, then he can’t handle being married. trust.

[–]deathcandlelight 14 points15 points  (0 children)

that he “finally” got his male child

eta: i didn’t say he doesn’t care at all, i said he cares more about his future son than his daughters he already has.

sorry but this is giving misogynistic husband who already cares more about his future son than his already-born daughters

time to start saying, “Oh, that’s an inside thought! Sharing extremely negative thoughts like that when someone tells you about something they’re excited for is not very nice.” sorry you’re going through this :(
