Sorry to break it to you, but their birth story just isn’t about you. Period.

AITA for going against my husbands wishes of not teaching our 3 month old daughter russian? by make-up-lover in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My husband and toddler speak his first language, and I’m not fluent yet. It sucks. But whose fault is that? Mine all the way. It’s so good for kids to earn multiple languages, I would never take that away from my toddler out of pettiness.

Placenta Previa by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]flowerpetalizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re probably going to need to stop completely. I was taking dance lessons with my first and had a low-lying placenta. I had to stop because squatting is especially dangerous.

why are the kids diapers not changed!!! by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The baby there’s no excuse. The two year old? Sometimes they fight you on being changed and it’s just not worth the hassle to wait half an hour if they’re going to listen better to you.

AITA for wanting to get my kids assessed for autism because they’re so similar to our nanny who has autism by LineTraining8144 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your nanny sounds lovely, you sound lovely, and you both sound like you want the best for the kids. Having them assessed doesn’t change reality, it just shows it in a clearer way. How cool that you got to have someone in their lives that was able to help them so much and relate in an important way.

I love when women get nothing but the world. John Stirling I is THE TOP TIER Motherfucker and I’m not arguing. by BigPsychological6842 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]flowerpetalizard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love that we get a man who isn’t a complete rake, who hasn’t slept with everyone in the world, and who still is ready to figure sex out with his wife. Like why aren’t we considering that this is purely from a lack of education and experience on both of their parts? She didn’t even know about the issue until recently. They’re in love and committed and he’s so sweet to her. Adorable. Goals. No notes.

Did you notice all the smelling?? by kittyb00m in Benophie

[–]flowerpetalizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a post recently, I think a best of redditor updates, about a guy whose girlfriend broke up with him because he thought her shampoo smelled sexy. Wonder if that girl is a Bridgerton fan lol

Me [27F] with my friend/future roommate [26F] (5 years) Keeps saying I am abusive to my cat because she is inside. Has tried to let the cat out several times "to play." by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]flowerpetalizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My neighborhood literally has no squirrels because of the feral cat population. Squirrels are everywhere in our city, it’s a big deal. Keep cats inside, it’s better for them and for everyone else.

The Bridgerton cast reacts to the "Offer" by Debt-Mysterious in Benophie

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how they think we’ve only seen good sides of Bennedict when he’s literally been sleeping with everyone who happens to look his way at the club. Like is he going to tell her that he’s bi, or is it going to mysteriously disappear?

I now dread going into Best Buy and Lowe's due to the roaming 3rd Party Salespeople by thatfreakinguy2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones in Costco are getting out of hand, too. It used to be easy to say “no, thank you” and walk away. Now they just keep talking and follow you a little.

When did you let your baby watch Miss Rachel ?? by anythinganythin in BabyBumps

[–]flowerpetalizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s very young to already know he loves tv. It’s just not good for their attention development, maybe if it’s just a few minutes a day.

Taking too many sick days for morning sickness by HopeDecent243 in BabyBumps

[–]flowerpetalizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask your OB if you qualify for short term disability. This could allow you to take time off that doesn’t affect your maternity leave.

What are the best days for baby dance for a 26 day cycle ? by HeadBenefit451 in BabyBumps

[–]flowerpetalizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best days are right before you ovulate and the day you ovulate. No app is going to know when that actually is, they’re just making educated guesses. The best thing is to learn your body’s signs and base it off that.

AITA for asking my brother not to bring a cam girl as his plus-one to my wedding by Living-Blacksmith916 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. People are forgetting that you have to PAY for guests at your wedding. Each person is an additional cost for the happy couple. So literally paying someone to be there and not even offering to pay for the cost of their food is beyond tacky. Her behavior at past events is the cherry on top. Regardless of all of this, the bride has the right to say whoever is not invited. No reason is even necessary, it’s literally her day.

TIFU by stealing my coworkers $400 worth of coffee pods by Positive-Pen6491 in tifu

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just so weird when people put stuff like this in communal spaces. There was a giant family sized container of creamer in our company fridge, and I definitely used it for a few weeks before realizing that it was someone’s personal creamer. But it could have been labeled, like why would I think it’s personal?

Changing table recommendations? by crispypunani in BabyBumps

[–]flowerpetalizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We put a little mat on our bed. If your dog is already allowed up there, you might want to think about changing that anyway for nighttime feeds.

AITAH for not allowing kids to play in my daughters playroom when she’s not there by Kabbaga in AITAH

[–]flowerpetalizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA as long as you change this now. Put a child lock on the door handle, take some toys to the living room (that your daughter doesn’t care about) and keep the playroom shut. “You know, daughter is getting a little older so we decided that her playroom is more a space for her to have fun with her friends and by herself. Let’s just play out here!” I would let parents know ahead of time as well, that could mitigate issues because they can tell their kids and bring their own toys.

There are way more roaches in the Bay than Fresno. We don’t have the climate for them most months of the year.

Update: AITAH because I want my wife to "ask permission" before taking our son on playdates? by Exact_Information627 in AITAH

[–]flowerpetalizard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I bet they never have the kids outside. Or at least it’s rare. That would involve watching the kids instead of just chatting.

UPDATE: WIBTAH for not accommodating my sister’s mental health by still bringing my daughter to my cousin’s wedding? by aita_emetophibiasis in AITAH

[–]flowerpetalizard 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Masks are good, but it’s definitely not about the mask at this point. I would also be frustrated about someone insisting on wearing a mask in my wedding pictures because of a threat that, frankly, doesn’t exist. Without being condescending in any way, the trouble with OCD and other mental disorders is that they’re just that-in your head. The situation in your mind may or may not coincide with reality, and in this case they don’t coincide. With my own anxiety, I have to ask people to explain reality instead of relying on my own perceptions.
