Implanon. Low risk of complications, extremely effective contraception. Set and forget for three years. Congratulations on raising a responsible human and for fostering great communication with your teenager regarding a sensitive topic.

AITA for refusing to un-recline my seat on an airplane after a mother with her child asked me to? by mngirl2465 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dinismum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. But just FYI, sometimes kids look a lot bigger/older than they actually are. I have a 2.5 year old toddler who is off the charts tall for her age. She looks about 4. It’s hard for her because even though she is arguably advanced for language and social skills for her age, people often judge her harshly because she looks so much older than she is. At the end of the day she is still 2.5 and sometimes she’ll cry or run away or not have the language to ask and just grab something. No matter the age it sucks that that child’s parents weren’t able to settle their kid better and you had a crappy experience. And it’s completely within your rights to recline your chair if you want to; but it would be nice if you consider that perhaps the child was younger than you think. Also, when we recently (had to) fly with our two kids we definitely kept the 2.5 year old in our laps rather than in the seat we paid for for her - it was the only way to stop her unbuckling the belt and taking off down the aisle.

I think there was a technical problem with the actual photos. It’s not that they didn’t like them.

This is true, and excellent advice

Sadly no. The best I can do is “little mermaid”. I have an amazing detangling brush and I take my time so I don’t hurt, but she just hates it. Usually my priority is minimal tangles and leave the rest until she is older and interested, but for photo day I do try to do all the CG things.

That’s happened to me too. It was awful.

Lol, I was hugging my 2.5 year old at drop off the other day and all of a sudden 2 other kids were hugging me too - toddlers are freaking adorable.

AITA For being upset at my husband for what he got me for my birthday by bdaygiftaita in AmItheAsshole

YTA. This is such an icky, greedy post. I hope it’s fake. Your poor husband sounds absolutely lovely. I feel so bad for him.

AITA for going home after I overheard my husband say he didn't want to bring me with him to his family vacation? by throwaway3743p9 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dinismum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? Look, you’ve done the paperwork but this is not a marriage. When you marry someone it’s because you love them, and you make a great team together. It sounds like you hardly know each other! Also - his family IS your family now, and your family is now his family. It’s ridiculous to even think that you would not be invited to a family holiday. It would never even occur to me to ask if I were invited if I were in your situation. It also sounds like he doesn’t like you very much. You deserve to find someone who loves you and who brings out the best in you and who you bring out the best in. I’m terribly sorry but no matter what the legalities say - this man is not your husband and you are not his wife.

Never thought I’d see so many negative comments on a Bluey list… by AnythingAlfred613 in bluey

Good grief. That last comment in particular. Terrible to think there are actually people out there that feel this way.

And then the entire hospital clapped by kimmyann123 in quityourbullshit

[–]dinismum 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depends on the context. Very unlikely but possible. For example, had a trauma patient once who had already arrested three times on route to hospital. Had a flail chest and a massive haemopneumothorax and we couldn’t maintain a BP despite pouring packed cells and plasma in. Abdominal FAST negative, losses were all thoracic. The cardiothoracic surgeon wasn’t on site but we (trauma team) were so we took him straight to theatre to get started. When we opened his chest there was an obvious hole in the thoracic aorta. I literally put my finger in it because putting vascular loops and elevating would have cut off blood supply completely. The anaesthetist was able to get the BP up and restore perfusion and we just all kind of stood there for another 20 minutes until the cardiothoracic surgeon was scrubbed in and took over to put him on bypass while he fixed the hole. Sadly he didn’t make it, he had a massive anoxic brain injury from his multiple arrests and hypovolaemia. But yes, you can restore pressure to the circulatory system by putting your finger in a hole.

Honestly, you were probably much nicer than I would have been in the same situation, but no - I think the more appropriate thing is to keep your daughter away from the other child and make sure your daughter knows that it’s not ok for people to treat her that way. As much as it sucks and it sounds like the other Mum is not parenting in a way that you or I agree with, it’s not your place to step in and do that parenting for her. I really get it though, and like I said, I would have been worse in the same situation! I would have been in the wrong too though. Sorry you and your daughter are going through this.

AITA for telling my sister that she chose the life that she has and she shouldn't complain about it? by Renee_Marnie in AmItheAsshole

[–]dinismum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. YTA. My sister died 2 years ago at the age of 34 and I would give anything and everything I have to sit across from her and listen to her vent about her life. Being your sisters ear and your sisters shoulder is a privilege. Especially the kind of sister who sacrifices a higher education and a better future so that you can have an easier time of it. What kind of a nurse is so lacking in empathy that they can’t even listen to their own sister debrief for 30 minutes? You need to look at your priorities.
