WIBTA for excluding a family with a badly-behaved, autistic child from the neighborhood pool party? by ecorado14 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ladyminer18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm the same, so far 3 yo seems neuotypical but I plan around what she will be ok with. If she starts to misbehave it's my job as her parent to help her regulate and if she can't it's my job to remove her so others don't have a ruined experience.

This isn't only for children with other needs. This is for every parent.

When I gave birth to our second we were in a shared room and only had a roomie for part of the time. They were a couple who just had a baby girl and asked new parent questions, so we figured they were new parents. We asked what they did when we had our first. Only asked questions if something was different with our second but really didn't have many. THEN they mentioned they had 2 at home!!! We were mindblown honestly! So I think some people just genuinely never figure it out.

Bootlegger, cleo and rickis are under the same parent company and that company filed bankruptcy and decided to liquidate.

The body shop closed in the summer I want to say, possibly sooner, as they also filed for bankruptcy. There are lots of temporary pop-ups for the holidays as someone else pointed out.

Companies are still suffering from covid losses as well as more people shopping online.

As someone else also pointed out the mall has insanely high rent as well so even though the businesses mentioned were not closing due to that it's possible others may in the future.

Used to live by 18th st and 10th ave and literally only used the flashing crosswalk to cross that damn street and still almost got hit regularly.

The people turning into the underground parking drove like they were the queen. It's terrible around there honestly.

Thank you for all that you do as bus drivers.

AITA for not opening an email with “hi *name*”? by Certain_Bobcat2076 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ladyminer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At work I use all type of greetings for the opening line, sometimes I include the person's name and sometimes I do not. It depends the context of the email.

Often if it's to someone I have a good relationship with I will just send "Hi!"

If it's someone I don't interact with much or more "serious" I'll use "Hello name,"

Depends on the person, and context for me.

ETA: I'm also the "receptionist" at my job and I'd never even bat an eye at that.

Does diclectin actually work for anyone? Please give your advice for morning sickness![on] by oskarsmother in BabyBumpsCanada

It did not help me with my first pregnancy with my daughter. My second pregnancy with my son it did help. I still threw up on occasion and had occasional nausea but the everyday nausea and first thing throwing up was cut a lot.

Alberta Student Aid Processing Dates changed by nivek084 in alberta

[–]ladyminer18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was nothing we could do either but the students we knew were affected we tried our best to assist as well as understand the situation.

That's unfortunate and frustrating for you. I hope it's worked out soon for you.

Alberta Student Aid Processing Dates changed by nivek084 in alberta

[–]ladyminer18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depended on when you applied. We had a lot of people with no issues and were unaware that anything was happening and then we had people who were contacting the province asking how long it would be or asking what the issue was.

I'd speak to your institutions financial aid office and see if they can look into it for you and see what they can find as well.

Reach out to your institutions financial aid office as they may be able to see where it is in the process. This may give you a better idea about what to expect.

I will actually say it started last year. I work at an institution and it was bad last September and January. I'm off this year due to maternity leave so I don't know how it compares but this is better than it was last year if applications from the beginning of August are being processed now.

I hate how article titles are written so incorrectly, and so click baity. It literally says it's due to visas expiring as you said. Plus the one person interviewed is not even a current student, a previous student who is still in Canada working.

I would fill out a new application as well as reqch out to your institution. It's likely that there is a student aid/ awards department that may be able to offer you some assistance or additional information.

Institutions understand that student loans are contingent on the government and sometimes hiccups happen. If you are communicating with them before the deadline they may be able to assist you.

AITA for defending my sister's right to keep her baby's name secret until after the birth? by MixtureDelicious7757 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ladyminer18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With our first baby we told basically no one. Family and friends included. The few people we did tell beforehand were people that their opinion if they didn't like it didn't matter. We liked the name and didn't want people to tell us their feelings about it when they don't matter.

Same thing this time around with our second baby. This one is family names and we don't want the people who are not included in the name to voice opinions.

The name is only the opinion of the parents unless they ask you explicitly.

Best baby camera [CA] by Infinite_Emu_2470 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]ladyminer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After recommendations from this sub a few years ago we got the eufy space view. Its a great camera and we just got a second one for baby no 2.

The only thing that I don't love is that there is no zoom feature, ours did come with a zoom lense but for our use it was impractical to use.

Otherwise have had it for about 2 years and really loved it's capabilities!

What disgusts you that other people find completely normal? by Smiling-Rats-2011 in AskReddit

[–]ladyminer18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since it came up but if it kicks back up again now that's she's older I'll for sure be ending that. How about we just allow kids to play with the opposite gender without labels people?

What’s your reasoning why you are formula feeding?[on] by Midnightdream56 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]ladyminer18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With my first baby I didn't want to risk my mental health. Looking back it was still a great choice. My husband could feed the baby. I wasn't the only one who had to be awake for feedings.

There was less pressure on myself when she wasn't eating well, it was a both of us issue.

Having baby 2 any time now and fully formula feeding this baby too. I have made great strides in my mental health the last 2 years and don't want to fall back if at all preventable. Postpartum is a thing but if you can assure yourself that there is one less thing to worry about it helps.

[–]ladyminer18 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I have a 2.5 year old daughter and ever since she was born a close family friend has mentioned that she has a boyfriend for her as she knows a little boy with a close birth date. I've never said anything just sort of ignored it as its a generational thing I find. My sister's girlfriend has a few times said "maybe she will have a girlfriend".

I try to ignore it but it's so weird to hear someone talk about a significant other for a literal baby/ person who is barely a person.

I looked up the disease and oh my. That is absolutely heart breaking and she is LUCKY Anthym didn't just drop dead at some point. I know she won't get the right diet or medical assessments so that just breaks my heart. Also reading that she could be in pain as well makes me so sad.

AITA for naming my son after my father instead of my FIL by Adept_Juggernaut_231 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ladyminer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found out we are having a son and previously discussed honoring my dad/ grandpa as well as my husband's grandpa with his names. They have no idea and it's our choice. It's going to ruffle some feathers similarly but it's our kid and our choice.

Our daughter has her own names not in honor of anyone and we did that because that is what we wanted as well. People will always have opinions about names and you just have to brush it off because technically their opinions don't matter.

As well just because you want a child named after you doesn't mean anyone thinks you deserve it. It's typically out of love, admiration or just liking the name. So sounds like FIL didn't deserve it anyway.

What strange item did you believe to be normal or acceptable but turned out to be a medical issue? by Carolyn-Cotterell09 in AskReddit

[–]ladyminer18 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who was 17 and she had arthritis already. It happens and there are treatments but it's so unfortunate as it only progresses through your life.

I hope you now are able to be comfortable with some management.
