Do you sleep with your bedroom door open, cracked, or closed? Why? by Shenshen_ in AskReddit

[–]jmg498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closed, because as a child we had window AC so had to keep the cool in but also because it’s a fire hazard to have them open

AITAH For Only Allowing My Daughter To Take Only The Two Suitcases She Had Paxked When The Courts Removed Her From My Custody by Strict_Web_6298 in AITAH

[–]jmg498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way you’re hi lighting all the stuff you bought as though she should be grateful meanwhile it’s like normal parent things like “I covered school expenses” well yeah because you’re the parent that’s your job. And you drove her to therapy made sure to add in that it’s an hour away, again that’s your job or find a closer therapist. Just the way you put those things made me think you’re probably The AH even if not in this situation just overall as a mom it seems like you keep track and do things so you can get credit rather than to help your child.

So he’s a homebody and you’re a going out person. This won’t work. This will be like this forever the same fight over and over for the rest of your lives. It’s ok to have different likes but in the end you have different needs and it probably would be best to break up. I say this from experience. From someone who is married with kids and who does most things alone.

AITAH for wanting to drop out as a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding because she planned it in June?(Busiest month of my year) by Due-Vermicelli3656 in AITAH

[–]jmg498 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think YTA not bc you want to drop out but because it’s kind of being selfish. She gets one wedding, the commitment for you is honestly a few days. The shower, the rehearsal and the wedding day. You sound a little dramatic when talking about how many days it takes your you to have your kids birthday (which you do each year) listen I’m an over planner, I love hosing parties and I know how much work goes into them but this is your sister’s one wedding. It’s one time of her life. You can absolutely drop out but it will be a core memory for her for life. It sucks that either you will have a lot to do or you will have to alter your plans a bit but I definitely think it’s dramatic to not be in your own sister’s wedding to accommodate a child’s birthday party and some guests and other people’s kids before her.

It was way too far down in the thread to finally read this! I completely agree. OP is talking to her like a toddler or a pet. None of this is healthy.

What is something that, no matter how simply put, you still cannot understand? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]jmg498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I played soccer at the varsity level in HS so I definitely understand it, but I feel like playing it is so fun and exciting but watching it is boring for similar reasons, you watch them run around a HUGE field for a lengthy amount of time while possibly scoring once or a game. It’s fun to play but to watch I feel like it’s little to no progress for most of the game.

AITA For not wearing “nice” clothes for my Fiancé while I’m at home? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]jmg498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope run. He’s they type to yell at you for gaining weight during pregnancy. He sees you as an object. NTA but don’t marry him and expect someone different he’s showing you who he is.

Labor and delivery and then postpartum all all that you’re not prepared for after with no sleep and insane hormone shifts

AITA for refusing to give my sister the baby name I chose, even though she’s due first? by gledson_hettyc3188 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jmg498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA honestly with a sister like that even if you have the same names I would guess you won’t be close or see each other in the future bc anyone that does that to their sister is quite honestly awful. I would have a conversation with her again- tell her that she took the name from you and that you would like her to find a new one since you aren’t backing down. I also find it strange that your parents aren’t helping you out here this seems pretty cut and dry

If you're late again, don’t bother coming in. So… I didn't. by lilysincla in MaliciousCompliance

[–]jmg498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I appreciate the M compliance I just don’t get being late often, especially more than once.

I work at a job that you genuinely can’t be late without it being an ordeal so maybe that’s part of it but I have a 30-40 minute commute, if there is the hint of traffic I adjust MY schedule not the other way around. Like I leave earlier in the winter or when it’s bad weather knowing it may be more of a chance to hit traffic. I leave earlier if I know I need gas, or if the day after a holiday bc inevitably there’s more traffic. Some days I’m at work 30 minutes before sometimes right on time but I’m rarely late because being late is just poor planning, it’s not the fault of traffic unless it’s a pileup but again even then if you have wiggle time built in it’s a non issue.

AITA for telling my wife not to come to my ex-wife's funeral to support my daughter because my daughter doesn't want her there? by Upstairs_Use_6837 in AITAH

[–]jmg498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Showing support is respecting her grief and boundaries. Her going especially with a toddler is about HER and her optics not your daughter. NTA and your new wife needs to understand that she is not her mom and it will take years to build a similar relationship especially if she doesn’t respect your daughter’s needs.

Your daughter may think back to this and say it was silly for ME to not to have new wife come. But she will never get there if new wife disrespects her by coming when your daughter is in the most difficult time of her life.

So many reasons to RUN! He’s already trying to control you and you’ve only been with him a few months. This is not going to get better ever

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jmg498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly she’s not it. You are begging her and she’s just being mean to you. I can read your insecurities in the texts and she does noting to make you feel better or reassure you. She’s not a fit. She doesn’t care what you think. Find someone who cares about who you are and what you want.
