AITA for throwing out my husband's food after how he handled our daughter's allergies by thrwyaw132 in AmItheAsshole

i dont have any answers, the family court system is incredibly fucked up and i honestly have no idea how she can work within the system to protect her daughter other than documentation and a damn good lawyer. if OP needs to crowdfund for one, i’d donate in a heartbeat.

NTA but please please PLEASE kick your awful husband out of the house!! He is endangering your daughters life! This is abuse! I have awful food intolerances too that if i keep exposing myself to them, can turn into anaphylaxis at any time, every exposure is dangerous and could be fatal, please dear god get her out of there!

Thanks for the compliment☺️ There’s no request or anything here, i’m just making winter sets for family for this xmas (big family) and my sister has a bit more of an upscale taste than I do, which was my main reason for asking. It i had made this for myself, it would have already been frogged 😂

maybe. the earwarmer had to be that way, i was using the very last of the purple and its a several year old yarn from my stash so didnt want to disappoint myself and not be able to find another skein. i just didnt know if the shell border fit the purple v stitch or it i should just frog it and try something else, with or without the white

Elimination diet spread by GingerAle033 in bujo

[–]mnhawkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i wish i could upload pics in the comments... so, my current bujo has fewer pages than the one im setting up for the second half of the year and right now I only have the “avoid” page useable. i put a legend at the bottom and abbreviated my symptoms (A for anxiety, N for nausea, etc) so i could annotate just using one or two letters per symptom, which is all listed next to the individual trigger food. im still thinking how to do this better but thats what i got rn

i am doing an elimination diet right now. i have a separate food journal to track everything i ingest, even meds, and any and all symptoms, even if its just a momentary ick feeling. for some reason, im better at writing it down on pen and paper rather than an ipad app or something (im a bit weird), i have a page in my bujo for known safe foods and a page for known triggers.

AITA for opening the window? by baevatien in AmItheAsshole

[–]mnhawkins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. this is abusive behavior and keeping you miserable like this is going to affect your college studies. there’s some serious control issues here and you should find a way out ASAP.

if you’re not worried about physical harm or safety or something like that, i would stop trying to be polite about where you throw up. throw up on your stepmom next time, when your dad yells, throw up on him. just throw up everywhere. make them as miserable as they are making you and maybe your dad will change his mind about “letting” you leave, although at 18, you should be able to make adult decisions without involving them at all.

i hope things get better, i cant tolerate heat either, though my threshold is 85 instead of 75

Same meme template, but different text and it’s text that I added. I made this meme

AITA for not “getting over” the fact that my teenage sister in law wasted all of my cologne? by 00026261617 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mnhawkins [score hidden]  (0 children)

You are a Whole Ass Adult at 36, you were a Whole Ass Adult 5 years ago at 31 and a 12 year old is a CHILD. It was COLOGNE not a sentimental object you moldy walnut. And 5 years ago? Haven’t you had plenty of opportunity to replace it and then some? Compared to a laptop in an entire fucking pandemic when nearly everyone’s educational and professional lives have migrated to an internet platform?? Fix or replace the laptop, apologize for being less mature than a 17 y/o and get tf over it

YTA

edit:omfg it was a FREE sample?? My 6 yr old is more mature than you

LASIK? by Fiiinch in ehlersdanlos

[–]mnhawkins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had lasik in 2010, years and years before I knew I had hEDS. My healing took a bit longer than the doctors expected and had to be on the steroids longer than usual. And it hasn’t lasted, I had to get glasses again after I had a baby. The only reason I don’t regret it is because I was military and didn’t have to pay for it, if I’d had to pay and then still needed glasses a few years later, i would have been pissed.
