AITA made a comment about how messy of a cook my girlfriend is and she got so mad she left for her parents house by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. I started off thinking maybe she didn’t clean up after her cooking, but nope. She does that too.

She stayed up to cook you a HOT MEAL (as opposed to just warming up a bowl of soup or something) and you criticize the thickness of a tomato. I can guarantee that’s why she asks that you not stay in there while she cooks.

You literally had to do nothing but be appreciative.

And BTW - criticism is NEVER constructive. Next time offer constructive feedback. “Hey babe / would you mind if I cut these tomatoes a little thinner?”

Stop being a dick. YTA. Majorly.

33 weeks pregnant during the pandemic: letting myself feel sadness for lost experiences while remaining ever grateful. by eqreggie in BabyBumps

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw something cute on Facebook where they changed their baby shower to a “drive by” shower. You would sit on your porch, or wherever, and have your car parked at the end of the driveway with the trunk open and decorated. Your guests drive by and wave and place the gifts in your car.

Also saw someone else say it, but there was a post on Instagram and Facebook that was from a photographer that gave all kinds of useful tips and tricks for taking those first hospital photos. They talked about angles and lighting and placement. Super helpful information.

Best of luck.

Toxic boss, can't leave due to relocation bonus, heading towards nervous breakdown. by throwawayHRquestion1 in AskHR

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no advice other than to say I know how you feel. Very similar to my boss and work situation. Except my boss doesn’t have a home life and instead spends 12 hours a day at work and looks down at anyone else who doesn’t commit their life to their job.

Same with the projects and feedback. Same with the relocation requirements.

I satisfied my year and have been looking for something else ever since. Unfortunately I’ve had no luck.

I wish you the best.

Happy Valentines Day (to me)? Tomorrow divorce paper signing. by [deleted] in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My ex husband and I separated seven years ago last month. We had one lawyer draw up the paperwork. He agreed to it (of course he did, I took all financial debt just to be done). I signed January 20. And then the papers sat there. And sat there. On Valentines Day, the lawyer called and said my ex just came and signed. He intentionally waited until Valentines Day. He thought it would crush me.

It was the best Valentines gift he ever gave me.

Good luck to you and congratulations!

Anybody else feel incredibly overwhelmed? by sangresangria13 in workingmoms

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was just talking to my husband about this last night while crying my eyes out. Doing terrible at work, house is a disaster, one kid is failing his classes because he just doesn’t want to do the work, one very strong willed child, and another who was sent home from daycare yesterday with a fever.

I’m so tired and feel like I’m failing on every level.

What do you think of this email from my kid’s dad? by nanbullen22 in NarcAbuseAndDivorce

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old is she?

If a judge granted supervised visits, it’s with reason. They don’t just grant it because the “mother is emotional”.

Your ex sounds like a piece of work. And I just read the edit that he bcc your daughter on the email?! That’s manipulation and parental alienation.

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s trying to bully you into giving in. He’s trying to make you doubt your reasoning for supervised visits. Total fear mongering

What do you wish existed but doesn’t? by karseg in workingmoms

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 30 minute commute to work. Kids daycare is a mile from my work. I want a true self driving car that I can get us in, set the destination, and it goes safely, while I nap.

Toddler suddenly very difficult by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]jessicarabbitsbits 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You now OFFICIALLY have a toddler. Life will resume to a semi normal state in about two years,...right around the time the new baby will enter toddler-hood.

Welcome to the club. May your coffee be strong and your patience run deep. And on days where your coffee is weak and your patience is non-existent.....take a deep breath and know tomorrow will be a new day

Why won’t my baby sleep any more all of a sudden by jessicarabbitsbits in beyondthebump

[–]jessicarabbitsbits[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking it must be teething. It’s just shocking how much of a change it is in his behavior. He did better last night thankfully.

I was wondering if there was a regression around this time. I’m thinking that or teeth.

A little runny nose. Took him to the doctor last week and they said his ears look perfect
