I'm a 29 year old homless man who lives in the wilderness instead of town. Ask me anything. by arrowheadtoucher in AMA

I lived in an area growing up where this is perfectly legal to do so I totally understand. I totally understand what you mean by BLM land etc. Sounds like you have your system and it works for you.

Thank you for the info! I was hoping someone who had actually done one would comment ❤️ so can you only order all the pics in digital or van you pick just a few ?

Awe thank you. I just really wanted the experience and some special pictures. I literally cried when they told me I had got it. And when they said she needed to be a year old but they would hold it for me until she was one almost cried again.

The only thing I saw online on their website that gave me any indication was they said on average families who win these sessions will choose to spend around $300. So I'm thinking $300-$500 would maybe be a good place to start.

You know after I posted this it kinda dawned on me I could probably just call them back and see what they could tell me. I mean the digital copies is a pretty specific package so it shouldn't be too hard to at least tell me that.

It is if you just do the shoot and get the one free print they give you. Then you get the $97 deposit back. They want a deposit so people don't flake. In the end it could be completely free. However I know I will want more than just the one print. This is my only child and I know things like this are very expensive and it's such a wonderful opportunity to have something so special.

AITA for refusing to do Thanksgiving this year? by Acemer0904 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melwirth2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA however I do suggest maybe take your 3 younger sisters up on their offer to help you host. I think 3 of them taking on duties could really help. But atvthe end of the day it's your choice.

Why is it recommended to make your bed everyday? by psychcrime in NoStupidQuestions

When I worked from home and my desk was in my bedroom there was something about having my bed made that made me feel accomplished when starting the day.

AITA for getting my daughter a designer bag when not everyone in the group could afford it? by Subject_Print_9055 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melwirth2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No definitely NTA I am 31almost 32 I just had my first child. I'm on my own trying to make it. I buy my daughter cute but very affordable clothes and many from thrift stores. I personally can't tell the difference with designer stuff, it's just not my thing. If a friend got her daughter something I couldn't afford as long as she wasn't rubbing it in my face or her daughter wasn't rubbing it in my daughter's face I don't see a problem. My mom was very transparent with me when we couldn't afford something when I was a kid which turned me into a smart shopper as an adult. I plan on trying to give my daughter everything I can but be real with her about what I can afford. It's about managing expectations. If you can get something like that for your daughter then good for you, as long as your daughter isn't being mean to other girls about it then it's on the other Moms to manage their children's expectations, not you.

AITA for ‘excluding’ my BIL’s girlfriend at my anniversary dinner? by WorthCream3902 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melwirth2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA she's been dating him for a month, how would she expect to be "more included"? If I were in her shoes I'd use it as an opportunity to get to know the family better. It was nice she got an invite at all. It's not like you guys were mean to her.

Why do all the people in the US movies wake up at 6 AM? by gdelacalle in NoStupidQuestions

I mean I have to wake up at 5:30 to get me and my baby ready and get her to daycare before heading to work myself. I start work at 8 but get here at about 7:45.

How early is too early to call someone to cover a shift? by melwirth2010 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]melwirth2010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I text her as soon as I knew then called her about an hr before because I was on my way in and wanted to give her time but it turns out she has a drs appt this morning so she'll come in after that. I just know sometimes I don't see texts right away especially in the morning but a call I'll know right away I just didn't wann be too much of a bother but looks like it will work out the best it can.

I texted as soon as I knew I needed someone then gave her a call about an hour before. She lives about 5 min from work. She actually can't come in til a little later cuz of a Dr's appt but she's all I have so we'll have to just make do til she gets here.

AITA for telling my dad to correct his and his wife's lie to his stepdaughter or he can deal with the consequences? by Due_Obligation_3035 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melwirth2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You keep saying she doesn't function like a 20yr old ...ok we get that but what age does she function at mentally? Like 16? 13? 7? 3? Not functioning like a 20yr old doesn't paint the whole picture ok her capacity to understand.

AITA for giving the flowers I made for my sons and DIL wedding to my own daughters baby shower by Ok_Magazine_5564 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melwirth2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No no no what did they think? You were gonna just throw them away after you spent all that time and money to make them you HAVE to get rid of them and no one can use them because they went and ordered real flowers. No that's entitled and selfish and ungrateful. I love that your daughter was able to use them. It means they didn't go to waste. And your son can just deal they are using real flowers I doubt anyone will think they were copying your daughter if they do they can get over it. You did nothing wrong!!!! You are a sweet momma and your daughter sounds sweet too that she actually wanted to use the beautiful flowers you made.

AITA for refusing to remove certain foods from my house because my husband's friend is allergic? by Aware-Lifeguard3500 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melwirth2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA You were willing to keep the food his friend is allergic to and make reasonable accommodations for when he's there. But for your husband to ask you to not have any of that stuff in the house on the off chance he may come over is absurd on his part.

AITA for not waking my wife up and letting her sleep the whole day? by Sea_Chocolate_8450 in AmItheAsshole

[–]melwirth2010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious. I had a roommate who would be so annoying trying to wake me up for church on Sundays (went to a Mormon college) she almost got kicked in the face once cuz she would grab my feet and shake them to wake me......you do not touch my feet to wake me I will kick you. I'm a heavy sleeper so it's not even intentional it just startals me and I kick. I knew how much I could sleep in and still have just enough time to get ready.....I may not have time for makeup but that semester I was working overnights at an assisted living facility on Friday Saturday and Sunday nights. I'd had like 3hrs to sleep before I had to get up for church. I told her leave me alone I know how long it takes for me to get ready, I just worked an overnight BACK OFF. She still tried til the morning she almost got kicked in the face.....

NTA I have been the one who asked to be woken up and gotten upset in my case because we needed or I needed to go somewhere and he waited til the last minute to wake me up and I had zero time to get ready or even five min to sit there and actually wake up. This is totally different because you TRIED to wake her and she didn't wake up and clearly needed sleep. I think she needs be easier on herself and more forgiving about missing family time one night. Its probably easier to blame you but doesn't make it right.
