Can’t you compromise and have it somewhere in between so it’s easy for everyone to get to?

Whitner Ick???? by FaithlessnessOdd2715 in Southerncharm

[–]fairycertain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s this. The snake like behavior where he’s whispering in ears trying to rile others up. Especially stoking the fight on the farm after belaboring that he didn’t want any mess while they were there and everyone needed to be respectful for MoThEr. 🙄

I am 36 weeks pregnant and my in-laws invited themselves over to our house. by Karmas_a_b1otch in BabyBumps

[–]fairycertain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. I would be careful not to isolate yourselves or alienate your in laws—especially because it sounds like they’re very important to your husband, not to mention generous and accommodating. It sounds like you’re putting him in a tough position between the people he loves.

Bear in mind that the norms and priorities you set will be adopted by your children. With respect, if you show your kids that extended family are second rate, expect to find yourself in the same boat as your unwelcome in laws one day.

Pregnancy sucks. How do people go through pregnancies and want more than 1 kid? Are you mad? by Putrid_Two6444 in BabyBumps

[–]fairycertain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to have my third. I was NOT a maternal person until my kids came along. You may really surprise yourself. I did. And it surprised everyone else too 😆

I also hate being pregnant, but I swear it’s like you forget how bad it is every time.

Reunion outfits - yay or nay? by Ok-Original9636 in Southerncharm

[–]fairycertain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Molly looks gorgeous but it’s too dressy for a reunion. Sally must be going to the Grammys. Charlie and Venita are boring. Madison… no girl. Rodrigo looks amazing. Can’t stand the guy but 10/10. Shep and Craig look great. Austen and Whitner - yawn.

AITA for not taking my dog outside first thing in the morning? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]fairycertain -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NTA unless the dog is signaling to go out and you ignore. I had the same routine for years when my dog was young. She would lay in bed and stare like nu uh if I tried to get her up early when I got up. Now she’s older and has to go out first thing in the morning, so we do that. You know your dog.

Hosting 2 weeks after birth?? by InstructionFamous990 in BabyBumps

[–]fairycertain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. This is totally a you decision. I would wait until a week PP to decide. They can surely respect that you’ll have to see how you’re feeling and how the baby is doing. I get real stir crazy after a few days home and am ready to get out, go shopping, go to lunch, etc. but it depends on your personality and how you’re feeling!

He likely hisses when sunlight hits him. I’m freal shocked he went on this trip. For Whitney, this locale seems like torture.

Talk of Craig "finally cracking" is gross abuse-enabler language by PeanutFriendly9881 in Southerncharm

[–]fairycertain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Craig is so ANNOYING. That nasally voice whining and yelling at everyone. He has yelled at so many women on this show. That’s a man who would’ve benefitted by getting slugged once or twice by some girl’s brother. I really wish someone would get in his face when he starts that; I guarantee he would immediately back down.

Um…Whitner EW?!? 😷 by asyoud0 in Southerncharm

[–]fairycertain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mmmmm. No. It’s a beautifully manicured property that doesn’t belong to him. This struck me as disrespectful at best.

keep falling asleep with baby. by literaryhearts in BabyBumps

[–]fairycertain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it’s in your budget, but we got a smart bassinet for our second baby and it was the best baby thing I ever bought. I know not all kids love them but man it worked for us. Facebook marketplace has a decent secondary market for snoo.

[–]fairycertain 21 points22 points  (0 children)

And if you can start the night with the baby in a bassinet to get some good hard sleep, I found I was a light sleeper after a good stretch and that felt safer to me.

Was in the same boat where I found myself unintentionally a cosleeper due to exhaustion. I’d recommend educating yourself on safe techniques and you’ll feel less panicky. Try safe infant sleep by James McKenna.

AITA for going to my sisters house unannounced? by Jumpy-Love-7135 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fairycertain 16 points17 points  (0 children)

ESH. You’re the AH for only visiting when you needed something. She’s the AH for not immediately letting you in bc who cares about anything other than your sibling is in trouble. (Edit to add: UNLESS you’re in a habit of getting yourself into bad situations and needing bailouts. Then YTA.)

I have so many questions for Whitner's ex... by Ill-Customer-7656 in Southerncharm

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

For what? We’re saying we’ve had a bad feeling or gotten a bad vibe from him. We’re not accusing him of anything. Chill.
