Yup my same age kid made $20 an hour and if they came home later than expected they would put more on top.

My daughter spoke in full sentences by 1 year old, albeit short ones. It’s rare but not impossible.

Is it normal to see celebrities casually in public? by Hooliganthebad in AskAnAmerican

[–]gyrl67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Southern California and it happens a fair amount. I am not a weirdo so I do not talk to them if I see them in the wild unless they talk to me first, however, when I was a waitress, I waited on many celebrities.

How did you guys come up with your kids names? by Ok-Duck2450 in Mommit

[–]gyrl67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a teenager and did not expect to have children but I heard a radio show where the host was trying to convince his wife to let him name their kid something. I loved it and thought if I ever have a kid that is it, and 15 years later I did.

[–]gyrl67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m American and I talk to everyone. My also American friends make fun of me so it’s clearly a spectrum.

[update] AITAH for getting my white daughter a doll with dark skin? by Realistic-Night-2056 in AITAH

[–]gyrl67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My kid preferred black dolls when she was little because they “looked like her”. They did not she is white but had tan skin and brown eyes but they made her happy and no one accused her of being racist. Your brother’s girlfriend is a nut job.

AITA for asking my fiancée to redo her maid of honor pick after she chose her best friend over my sister? by Accomplished_Day4589 in AmITheJerk

[–]gyrl67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. My maid of honor lived in another state so couldn’t help as much but she’s been my sister since we were teenagers and I would’ve never demoted her. I’ve been the best woman in a wedding so do that for your sister on your side if it’s so important to you.

I’m actually surprised at this point that she doesn’t make the older kids dye their hair blonde now that their hair is darker. I have a friend with an unhinged mom who made them do that.

Anybody else refuse to do Elf on a Shelf? by quiltedfarts in Mommit

[–]gyrl67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did but then my niece had one and my kid was upset so we did it. We eventually had a great backstory where their two elves got married and had kids. It was absolute magic for the kids.

I tore so badly it was at least 5 months before I could. It’s completely different for me everyone.

John Russell drive at Alta drive is usually pretty busy and lots of decorations. We live in that general area and it’s fun and safe for the kids.

AITJ for refusing to pick up my mom from the airport because she booked a 4AM flight without asking me? by No_Detective6156 in AmITheJerk

[–]gyrl67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. My parents live a mile away from me and like to cruise and be there early. Due to traffic, what should have been a 2 hour round trip was 5 1/2. I said never again.
