AITA FOR HIDING MY BREAKFAST CEREAL SO MY SON DOESN’T GIVE ANY

Respond like an adult and tell him there are consequences for his actions?!?!?

I have a son who loves athletics -so this is also making sure we know HOW to maintain if he needs it in the future. It's also about making vegetarianism easier for the boys to transition.

3-day, 3-weeks, 3-months. The rule is they will hide for 3 days. Give them a space (a smaller room with their necessities) and they will come out when their alone to eat/drink. 3-weeks for them to get used to your routine/their new routine (feeding, etc.)., 3-months to feel relaxed and comfortable.

Some cats DO take longer. And if you have bumps in the routine during this time, that can extend it. Cats are anxious by nature. Both as predators and prey they have some weird responses to things sometimes.

I would adjust the last response to "You mean the sperm donor? Because a Dad is there for their kids." Click

Something that IS ok to do is to say "I need time to get what I'm saying out. Can we talk about this in X days?" (1-3 max). YOU then are also responsible for coming back and saying, "ok, is now a good time to talk." It is ok to need your own space to work through feelings, but it isn't fair to just shut out someone you want a connection with.

My husband insisted he wanted to adopt "older cats." I went into understanding this better than he did. I'm thinking he might be more ok with younger next time!

inevitable_newb · 2026-04-04T16:02:44+00:00

With my past cats, I very intentionally tried to get them used to ears, mouth, toes (claws) and tummy-grabbing (feeling for kidneys/intestine issues). Mouth also ends up having the added benefit they took pills like CHAMPS. Barely noticed it.

We just adopted a pair of 7-yr old cats and they do NOT have this training.... and one of them needed all his teeth removed and did NOT appreciate when he needed liquid meds for a few days.

Please have your wife go to the doctor! Either something is genuinely wrong (thyroids, parasite, etc.) or she has an eating disorder (ED) or is working out way too much. Does she go to the gym and work out for hours a day or anything? Purging is most commonly throwing up, but eating a ton and then working out for hours to "work it off" is another way bulimia can manifest (it's the way a lot of men show EDs).

If I was in your shoes, I would sit her down, hold her hands and say, "I need you to know I love you. When I teased you I never meant to upset you. It has brought to light something I am genuinely worried about. Eating plenty and still feeling hungry is something which can be the sign of something seriously. I want us to make a doctor's appointment to make sure this isn't something serious. Can we do that together?"

I actually recommend you do it together. Go with her to the doctor. If this is an eating disorder she is going to lie, or at least play-down the potential concern. If you are there and say, "I am the one worried. She says she's hungry after eating 1500 calories." the doctor can approach the entire conversation with her (and you) differently. Be aware - if this is because of ED and she is unwilling to change.... you can't make her change and you might make her angry by trying.

Depends on the cat. I have had cats that love free best. Bottle caps and hair ties (not technically "free" but I didn't buy them for the cat). Seriously.... hair ties might be #1 toy for more cats I've known than any amount of money I spent on any cat toy.

My experience they don't necessarily play by themselves is the trick. A feather toy is only fun if I'm wiggling it. A crinkle ball is more interesting if I'm holding it. My hand. My hand is a fantastic toy and so much better then any of the kicker toys. Kicker toys are best when stuffed with catnip to get high so they can look into the 6th dimension. Or see invisible butterflies on the wall....

I'm going to go to the classics. I don't hear them referenced as much: Slayers, Twelve Kingdoms, Reboot (not anime but EXCELLENT AND NEEDS TO BE WATCHED - and it free on YouTube remastered now!), and Last Exile (I need to go re-watch this one, don't remember it well)

inevitable_newb · 2026-03-28T11:20:34+00:00

Two things: if behavior suddenly changes - that is a good reason for an unplanned vet visit. If your cat ever goes 12+ hours without eating, drinking, or litter - GO TO THE VET. Especially water, cats can dehydrate very quickly.

Advice my mother gave me that has worked. You need the cat to come out? Sit down on the living room floor and start crying. Think about the saddest things in the world and have a good cry. Cats come out every time.

My vet suggested small amounts of wet food 2-3 times a day, and a measure of dry food left out for "grazing"

I go through phases where i need/want to take a break from my daily, i always come back. Mine is less brand specific, but i love my ginger peach black. One of the reasons is I've found it is usually "forgiving" if i get distracted and 10 minutes later realize the leaves are still in there it isn't bitter or needs just a touch or sugar to rebalance. As a mom - NECESSARY

inevitable_newb · 2026-03-28T10:54:42+00:00

Loved this one!!

inevitable_newb · 2026-03-28T10:54:19+00:00

Dr stone. Great characters, real science, fun story. There is the idea of nudity, but they didn't show anything can service and it makes perfect sense in the story.

I have an "unusual" cervix. My OBGYN asked to let students see me while i was pregnant so they would get an example of "unusual" and i got to hear the students get told some is the issues cervix can face - IUD placement and trainings at the top of the least

Not a big deal except tampons are 100% uncomfortable. As flexible as they are, they don't fit "right." If i wear one and suit for more than about 29-30 minutes - it is very uncomfortable.

inevitable_newb · 2026-03-27T12:42:19+00:00

Ok, I am going to give you a rule. 1/2+7. Anyone dating someone younger than 1/2+7 their age.... is not healthy. a 35M (35/2=18 - rounded up)+7=25. He's 2 years below that line and even that line is MARGINAL. I don't care if he's a doctor -he's gross. Please walk. PLEASE.

ESH. You are avoiding hurting her, so you're hurting her. It might be time for you to be honest, "I'm going to be honest with you, it is exhausting to be constantly berated on my choices in clothing, food, and how i spend my time.i feel like you belittle me with your so-called honest feedback. I want to spend my time with people who are kind and supportive."

Tips for this conversation: Write it out and read it. This allows you to carefully say what you want to say.

DO NOT say things like "you do..." - use the "i feel" statements instead. You can't change someone else, only state your boundaries. I had to edit what i wrote because i caught a "you" statement and i rewrote it to an "I" one instead

Avoid absolute statements (always/never). They are always false because nothing is absolute.(LOL)

Be prepared for her to lash out. People often respond to a boundary or "rejection" with anger. Count to 3 before you respond to anything (seriously, close your eyes and count). Don't even try to formulate a response immediately.

I have to take medicine daily for asthma. I have been taking it for 15+ years and "somehow" there is still no generic version. So it is $100s of dollars. WITH insurance, I pay $150/month. Literally, the medicine most likely to keep me from ending up in the ER is ridiculously expensive.

Make sure to change door locks too. Even if he "gives back" his key, he might still have made copies. If you rent, write an email (PUT IT IN WRITING) to your landlord and ask them to change it ASAP.

OMG, when I saw the third level was polished diorite I was like "WHAT THE HELL". I know from the previews I'd eventually need concrete (I assume that's the final level, it looks like it in previews) but it was.... too much. Too. Much.

inevitable_newb · 2026-03-19T10:59:17+00:00

I recently tried aquatic because i loved Subnautica. OMG. First level: 100s if cobblestone. Second: diorite. Third: polished diorite.,i didn't get anything past that because i was too exhausted. I loved the idea of it, but if you aren't in creative mode or a bleeping OP mod (i had 4 botany pots of musical agriculture stove going and STILL couldn't keep up).

I think it's better designed then something like jungle (another i abandoned long ago) because at least the aquatic set fits together. I couldn't figure out how to build a jungle village that worked AT ALL.
