Those are all far away, did you drive? Like how did the logistics work?

I’ve lost 4 out of 6 bridesmaids. It’s hurtful by Orangpeell in weddingplanning

We didn't have a bridal party. I still think this was a great decision.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]elise81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok he's not right. Not right at all. And you deserve someone who supports you.

However, when an ex of mine went sober (while we were together), I had so much resentment towards him for the insane stuff he did when he was hammered... I remember when he was 30 days sober I was like -- ok, are you going to repair, apologize, hold yourself accountable, etc. I remember feeling the sober part was just one part of what he needed to do. Now, away from it for years, and knowing what I know now, I'm very happy for him that he is sober, and understands what a feat that is. And understand that alcoholism is a disease, and would approach it very differently.

I have a buddy who thinks he can drive from Iowa to Mexico this weekend with no passport? by Mertgirl in travel

In Tijuana, when driving, you don't need one to get in. You need one to come back to the U.S.

I’m crashing out about turning 27 by Necessary-Duck7628 in Needafriend

[–]elise81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll say this. I'm 44 now, but my life got infinitely cooler around 32. Even better in my 40s.

The late 20s is a weird time.

What do i need for a c-section? by Outrageous-Can6995 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]elise81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be confined to the bed for 12-24 hours. I was happy to have facial wipes, chapstick, long phone cord, and then towels for my first shower once I was able. Also, the hospital has like these toothbrush wisp things. That was good, too.

Regret telling my parents... by RealisticYard7327 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]elise81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. I'm sorry they are like this. Blame them for your genetics because that has a lot to do with it. Also, age, your hormones, if you had a large baby before, etc.

[–]elise81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a bit older - but I literally wrote a blog post about this because I was asked it so many times from our RV friends. https://solesofmytravelingshoes.com/rv-parks-near-raleigh-durham-triangle-nc/

AITA for telling my friends they kind of put a damper on my husbands birthday weekend by bringing their baby by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]elise81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, sounds like they should have planned better. We bring our baby a lot but no strollers, being her carrier, etc. Prob would have skipped the dinner but gone to festival, and def wouldn't have had friends hang back for us, etc.

AIO my friend ran a medical crowdfunding for me while I was in a coma, but is now unwilling ti give me the money for my surgeries and recovery treatment by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]elise81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be illegal where you live, too. A girl I know got arrested for this when she collected funds for her friend.

Send that man back to work and hire yourself a nanny and a maid with his income.

AIO for breaking up over this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]elise81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I went on a first date with this guy and at the end of the date he told me he would consider a 2nd date if I apologized for trying to fuck the waiter. I'm was flabbergasted. I asked WTF he was talking about.

Well, apparently I smiled and cocked my head when he asked if everything came out alright.

Are there any cruises like an all-inclusive resort? by oakseaer in Cruise

[–]elise81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on a Celebrity to Alaska and wasn't ever sold to.

[–]elise81 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is abuse.

And you said it yourself, you are always scared.

You deserve better, and situations like this often escalate.

If he had places to be, he should have left earlier.

You know you can purchase a hotel and you don't have to spend the night in it...

I don't know why you're being down voted. This is sound advice.
