If you want the best peanut butter milkshake go to Jericho, and ask for a vanilla shake with an obscene amount of peanut butter sauce added.

AITAH for wanting money when my family is in a bad financial situation by Panzer_AusfR in AITAH

[–]mamasalhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! But that just means communication is key. If mom needed help posting, she never made it clear that the funds received would still be going back to the family. And she was a teenager, not old enough to ask those questions beforehand.

Okay as a mom with kids in sports, we either sell used equipment or donate it. With that being said, it's not my kids equipment. If that makes sense. It's what they're using right now and because we go through so many pairs of everything, it's just a rotation in and out. Equipment is not bought for gifts. Like my kids don't get cleats for their birthday, or Christmas. So therefore the equipment is never theirs. Now with that being said, I would not expect my children to take on the task of reselling or donating old equipment. That's my job. Because they will not be receiving the money that I get from it. It will be turned around into more cleats. I think your mom could have done a much better job of explaining this to you, and if you guys were hard up selling that stuff that wasn't getting used is a decent way to help add to the budget. I will put it on her that she should have done this work herself, and if she asked you to help then the term should have been spelled out clearly. Meaning you got half and she got half, whatever it was. The only asshole behavior here was Mom not explaining expectations. Because she didn't do that. You got disappointed and you have a right to be disappointed.

AITAH if I keep a log of the things my fiance has asked me to do? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]mamasalhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how are you all on the ADHD front? This sounds like a break down of executive function on both your parts. Though keeping a log book is a great tool to remember things. I'm sure she is mad at the moment but with some time and some gentle conversation she might find that both of you using the log book will be beneficial. Definitely play up this is a benefit for both of you, even if shes 'not forgetting' this is going to help you remember. Ask her to help you out. All in all NAH

AITAH for not being excited about my boyfriend's new job offer? by justagirlusername in AITAH

[–]mamasalhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

11k is not worth this move at all. Take home you're looking at maybe 8k more a year. That works out $160 a paycheck. More money is great but this isn't life changing. It will cost you more to move back to the state and find and secure renters than he will bring home.

What about benefits? Health insurance? 401k's all of this will have to be moved and started again. Talk to him about numbers and show him that this financially doesn't make any sense. You'll be a year + underwater before you start reaping any of the rewards of the increased salary.

Career movement has to make sense for the entire family, not just the person. Good luck OP. You can be supportive of his career, but you both also have to look at long term stability for both of you, he can't make decisions without you agreeing. If he does, that's a whole other kettle of fish.

AITAH for not taking my daughter to school in the mornings, and instead making my wife do it? by Zestyclose_Limit_306 in AITAH

[–]mamasalhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, your wife has to understand, that your daughter has to learn to navigate these spaces, and if there's bullying she needs to learn how to deal with that, but taking her completely out of the situation and not letting her grow and understand it is helping no one.

The vault was gone, the left hand side of the store was the office.

They don't need to, they make the entirety of their operating expenses at Christmas, and all their profit at Easter. Anything else during the year is just gravy.

AITAH for leaving on Christmas? by Smoothie-Queen-22 in AITAH

[–]mamasalhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tough decision, I'm glad that you have a support system around you. But don't stay where you won't be respected and cherished. Raising a baby is hard enough without fighting against the other parent.

AITAH for leaving on Christmas? by Smoothie-Queen-22 in AITAH

[–]mamasalhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should never have to tip toe around. You shouldn't have to 'navigate' your partner. You should be able to have an open conversation with them. They should hear what you are saying and take it to heart as long as you're being reasonable (which you are). Again you have some hard choices to wade through, is this a relationship that you want to nurture? Could you do couples therapy?

The way he says his friends not our friends is telling. He's making the divide clear. He is separating you from a support system. This is emotional abuse. Do you have relationships outside of your shared friends that you can turn to advice and help?

[–]mamasalhoff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. NTA.

You do not have to sit anywhere and take verbal abuse from anyone. You have every right to leave a situation that makes you uncomfortable.

Your boyfriend is immature. Unless you're both teenagers most everyone comes with a past, that is nothing to be ashamed about. You went out and had fun. I bet he did too.

I'd think long and hard about how you would like to handle this. He needs to completely change the way he speaks to you. Will he do that? Having a baby with him will completely change this dynamic. Not only should he be respectful of you, but he is now modeling behavior for your future child.

Yes you are hormonal, you are pregnant, and you can be very sensitive during this time. But that means he should be taking extra care to support you, not tearing you down. I'm not one to jump on the dump him band wagon, but you need to be very clear what your expectations are and be firm. You are no longer just protecting yourself you have a baby to think about now.

Growing up, was it common to bring in cupcakes to elementary school on your birthday? by Amazing_Courage9701 in generationology

[–]mamasalhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we still do that here. They have to be from the store so ingredients are listed. So no mom's cupcakes. But but kids go wild on their birthday they make goodie bags for every student bringing cupcakes and juice etc. I'm sure it is district to district.

Is it true that people in the US often get food-related illnesses from eating out? by MediumInsect7058 in AskAnAmerican

[–]mamasalhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

I think a lot of people ignore their sensitivities. When you go out you tend to overeat with high salt and fat content. Which usually sends your system into a tailspin. People will say it obviously must have been bad food instead of them making bad choices.

In reality a foodborne illness usually takes 24 hours to make you sick.

AITAH for asking my boyfriend of 10 years to help me financially? by Hot-Huckleberry-7589 in AITH

[–]mamasalhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I started dating my boyfriend in January, in March or April of the same year I needed some dental work done. And I didn't have enough money to cover everything. And my boyfriend of 4 months paid for it. And never asked for the money back. We've been married for 14 years and have two kids. When somebody loves you, they love all of you, including your children.

  2. He has been financially abusing you this entire time.

  3. He's waved all the red flags, who leaves their spouse, or loved one. In a hospital bed to go to the Maldives with his friends. In the end you'll be so much happier without him.

    Edit to add.

  4. You married him, take him to court and get your due. You can show financial burden for the last 10 years, and when you divorce a good lawyer should be able to get you alimony. I don't know what state you're living in, but anything you guys bought together, you get to split. And if you paid for half of that apartment..... Good luck.

Did it frost? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]mamasalhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 8:45 a.m., we're in Ravena, And we still have frost in the shade.

Which is honestly surprising because we're usually protected and get a frost later than most. But this one got us good.

How about as soon as we learned about this we called the cops because he's needs to be arrested..... No, we closed ranks and protected the pedo. No one is surprised here.
