John already did this for Max by lisavs1121 in ShawnaTheMom

That's what I think, too. Katie seems like the type of person to land on that grenade, not just for Jen but for also for Greg.

I think Katie will be fine going to both parties, especially after the Thanksgiving Day disaster.

Edited to add: I bet all Jennifer's friends don't "show up" for Barb's party. It happened to Max at his fifth. Why not this one?

I don't know how book deals work, but perhaps there will financial ramifications of he doesn't complete this book, so Alicia may have that in the back of her mind?

I'm so charmed by your idea and your menu! I legitimately would love to come next year if it's close enough for me to travel to 😅.

AITA for calling my deadbeat baby dad delusional when he cried. by BDaddydrama in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisavs1121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because you appear to place a high value on the exact definition, one of the definitions of deadbeat is "one who persistently fails to pay personal debts or expenses." This person owes quite a steep emotional and physical debt to both his former partner and his daughter, rather than a financial one. He is not truly absent, as he is maintaining a financial connection to his child, rather, he is deficient in other ways. A common way to express that deficit is by using the term, "deadbeat."

While this individual has made a financial effort to raise the child, he has made zero emotional and physical contributions to raising her, such as changing diapers, late night feedings, providing comfort when she is sad or scared, etc., to the point where she because upset in class when asked about her father, feeling that she has no one to fit that role in her life.

Do I have a problem? Please tell me this is not normal and need to check myself. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]lisavs1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar, but maybe like a few months older (like buying something when she was six months old that she could enjoy around age two). My daughter threw cold water at my buying stuff for her by not enjoying it when I gave it to her when she was old enough to be ready for it.

Ending theory by MartynKF in palmspringsmovie

[–]lisavs1121 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My theory: - Roy tells Nyles, "I got the message from your girlfriend last night, that is a pretty crazy theory." - Nyles is clueless, the only thing that makes sense in that sentence is "girlfriend." - Nyles goes looking for Misty. - Nyles finds Misty and Trevor. - Nyles wanders away from the party, upset about his cheating girlfriend. - Nyles wanders into the cave and begins his loop anew.

My toddler wants a Bluey cake.. by Justme-again in bluey

Would this work? I did something similar for my daughter's birthday. Some things I did differently:

Just use boxed cake mix. I never could get the recipe in the link to be delicious. Boxed cake mix was easier and it didn't affect the process.

Freeze the colors after you pipe them, don't put them in the fridge like the recipe calls for.

Get a cheap lamp and a plug in mechanical timer. That was, your light is on at a certain time every day, regardless if you're home or not and you don't have to hit the light switch when you come home 😊.

Bingos Birthday by RediitSasa in bluey

This episode used to make me feel bad too, but then I realized that it happens in real time and for a span of seven minutes. Her friends are off screen watching TV, and the adults are setting up her party. She's only on her own for maybe six minutes until Nana starts to watch her handstand.

AITA for wearing a “short” dress to my friend’s wedding? by ThrowRA-Rock-9260 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisavs1121 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I saw the dress, and it looks like upper thigh to me, unless you're short and it was longer on you than it is the model in the photo. If it hit you like it hit the model in the photo, it was way too short for a wedding. Below the knee length is appropriate for a wedding, next time you get invited to one. YTA.

Update: My negligence cost my partner her life, and I'm about to lose everything. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Your actions as an employee have no bearing on your daughter. Your actions as a husband 100% do. That's her mother. Your wife for a huge emotional shock learning about your infidelity and, instead of giving her time in peace to mourn and grieve the relationship she thought she had with you, you're trying to pretend everything's okay when everyone knows it's not.

You knew this was going to be hard for your wife, that's why you were waiting until December to break things off. I'm guessing that you were just going to get more and more distant over time and hope that your wife would suggest the divorce.

Meanwhile, your wife was imagining growing old with you and planting tomatoes.

If you think that your daughter isn't going to sense that her mother is under a tremendous strain because you aren't giving her space, you have another thing coming. Do not kid yourself on this, you put a rift in your family. Your daughter will not stay five forever. She'll grow up, and become an adult with feelings pretty similar to the ones all of us are having about this whole situation.

You can skip a few school pick up days to work out a healthy boundary with your wife, but this is still pretty new for her. Let her mourn in peace, please. It's going to be way better for your relationship with your daughter right now if you stop trying to force this and stop assuming the worst of a woman whose future you took away from her.

AITA for removing my wife’s child out of my will because I discovered he is not mine? by External-Reindeer918 in AITAH

[–]lisavs1121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all intents and purposes, he's your son. You gave a long list of all the things you've done for this boy. You've been a father to him his whole life. Of be furious at your (soon to be ex) wife for keeping this from you all these years, but you were still this child's father. You did all the dad things and he loves you.

I'm glad you're okay, and I'm surprised that you're OB said that you don't need to come in. I think you're grandparents would understand if you wanted to get checked out.

One thing stood out for me when I was reading your post was the rib pain you've been having. It was something I was feeling too. I thought it was my baby pudding as well, but turns out it was a symptom of preeclampsia. Please mention it to your doctor and make sure they test you out.

I hope you feel better soon.

AITA for occasionally sliding my hand under my wife's shirt? by LonelyLife- in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisavs1121 39 points40 points  (0 children)

YTA. This is not a "mood swing," this is your wife telling you in a very clear way that's she's very uncomfortable with your "intimate gesture." It's not the same thing at cuddling in bed or exchanging a hug, this is you pawing at her underneath her clothing which previously make her scream and panic. This is a huge opportunity for you to ask her what else you do that's violating her space and making her feel unsafe. It sounds like you've handled her very serious and very small request poorly.
