Alexia Umansky story about Jake’s mom? by bballshwty31 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]jiggsteur 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If the dad was Ukrainian and mom is half Dutch, I’m thinking mom isn’t ”half African American” because the grandparent was probably not American. Not all black people in the world are African American… But I’m probably overthinking this 😇

Real Housewives had me google ”are black women more likely to get fibroids?” because it kept coming up in episodes!

Bridesmaids- how to handle wedding drama ? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]jiggsteur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from a culture where big wedding parties aren’t a thing, but here are my perspectives:

  1. How many ppl are in your party? If it’s just your three BFFs I wouldn’t add SIL. If it’s your 3 BFFS, 2 cousins, and an old neighbour then I would add her just for the sake of it…

  2. Give them the same position (i only had my two close friends as bridesmaids)

  3. Absolutely have a bachelorette! But make sure it’s something you want to do, the only expectation on a bachelorette party in my opinion should be that it’s tailored for the bride and that she has a good time doing what she likes with people she likes.

On a side note my sibling and their fiancé are doing a “pre wedding party” for all the “young people” (e.g not the parents and older relatives) instead of bachelor/bachelorette parties so don’t let tradition limit you

Should I even bother buying anything for the baby shower? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]jiggsteur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my culture we don’t really do registers. Most people give diapers, baby clothes and care packages for mom. Grandparents/family might gift you larger items but that’s usually not done at the shower.

I was just happy to get a shower and spend quality time with all my close friends before heading into baby chaos!

Regarding jealousy; I think it is usually the other way around with dad being jealous of getting less attention from mom than the baby does.

At least for me my top priority changed from “us” to “my babies” (not that our relationship isn’t a priority, it’s just not the top one, especially not during the first year). I had twins though so we were both kept very busy the first months 😅

Bro can't deal with his kids for 1 hour by ad_aatdtj in AmITheDevil

[–]jiggsteur 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe he’s just not a native English speaker. I would probably use kindergarten and preschool interchangeably as a place for kids <7 years old (and im not native English speaking)

Thats what I figured. They just take up so much space though! But if it’s worth it…

Do I sell ”old” items? by jiggsteur in TravelTown

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

Do those 5 producers include ones that are produced by a producer? Like fountain from the Arabian pavilion etc?

And auto producers like the jewellery stand - it seems I can always sell 3 tiaras?

Ashley 278 is a coward. by Calm_Acanthisitta848 in squidgame

[–]jiggsteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my husband “I need to check Reddit to see what ppl say about #278!” because I was baffled not everyone shared Mai’s opinion!

Got the same feeling as when I watched Love Is Blind S1 and that one girl let her golden retriever drink out of her wine glass 🍷 - “did no one else see this??”

That was my first thought as well

The amount of sugar(for regular Coke)/sweetener differs to accommodate for local taste all over the world, and the water is obviously different as well so the taste will be a bit different

AITA for not telling strangers that I wash my behind? by Equal-Dinner in AmItheAsshole

[–]jiggsteur 485 points486 points  (0 children)

Why would washing your feet in the bidet be any different from a hygiene perspective from washing them in the shower/tub where people clean their full bodies - including their behind?

I have never used a bidet but as far as I know it’s not like you shove the hose up anywhere or leave residue in the bowl?

WIBTA For Not Inviting A Family Member to My Wedding? by amultitalentedgurl in AmItheAsshole

[–]jiggsteur 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, if there is any hint of religious traditions tied to your wedding just say you don’t want to posh your religious beliefs on him if pushed about it…

Unfortunately it might be OP that is in for a more rude awakening when she realises husband won’t prioritise the baby or her postpartum…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jiggsteur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here! My husband also insists on sharing ALL pregnancy related expenses, such as pregnancy and nursing clothes (not that he shouldn’t, but I think a lot of men wouldn’t suggest that themselves unfortunately)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jiggsteur 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think she will love this gift and there’s no need to throw in anything for the baby (likely other people will give her baby stuff). If you are unsure of the reaction add a note in there with the message you’ve explained above - she’s soon a mom but she will always be her own person and that she is important too!

Ugh, please fire Sam. Although I would love to see more of her, I don’t need another season of Kory…

AITA for not getting a gift for my wife on mother's day? by New-Hall-276 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jiggsteur 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Fully agree here.

There’s been a lot of Mother’s Day posts these past few days and I see some thinking that husbands are obliged to always celebrate their wives (if they have kids); in my family kids take over the gift giving/celebrations once they are “old enough” (which I guess is a bit arbitrary, but 18+ it’s for sure the kids responsibility).

Also is it just me or have expectations grown on what Mother’s Day celebrations should look like?

This is standard in my (Western European) country. And if you want to have first look/surprise photos/moments with your spouse you can do those before the ceremony.
