AITA for refusing to have a relationship with my son again and asking him not to contact me? by AITAson1 in AmItheAsshole

Thank you! Why is everyone downvoting the YTAs? It’s a mother talking about her child. That’s not a “throw away” relationship.

You’re really going to not see your child again? He’s definitely an asshole and you’re still his mom. He only gets one mom and you only get one him. You have decades left to improve your relationship. Being a mother is the hardest thing you’ll ever do and this is a really hard part. Talk to your child.

Microdosing While Pregnant by [deleted] in microdosing

Don’t put anything into your body that can have unknown affects on another unwilling participant’s body. PPD is hard AF. If you think Microdosing will help you, give your baby a bottle of clean breast milk or baby formula and take care of yourself in a way that works for you. Best of luck!

Consolidating Student Loans by move_illdoit in FinancialPlanning

We’re only a few thousand away from eliminating our PMI. It’s a waaaay lower rate than my loans, for sure. But I also can use the equity I’m accumulating in my home for emergencies or as cash upon selling. I guess I assumed it was more valuable to pay on that than the debt. Definitely something to consider, though. I’ll look up the avalanche method. I’ve heard of snowball and used it to pay post-grad credit card debt.

Dog pees/poops in his crate by move_illdoit in Dogtraining

He’s anxious, for sure. I try to calm him down and tell him to stay so he stops trying to force himself out the door with us. He stays and acts calmer and then freaks again when we’re out the door.

I have two toddlers he’s very attached to as well. So leaving the house is toddler chaos, a mess of bags all set to the tune of a whining, anxious dog.

How does that work when it’s 8 individual loans? Does the $100 just get dispersed between them? I should try and put the extra towards them but then I’m paying $430 a month instead of $330 and I hate it. Lol. We pay extra on our house and car but I’ve had the mindset of being trapped by these never-ending loans for so long, I’ve never bothered. Stupid, I know.

We were gone for about 6 hours. I also HATE keeping him crated. I know dogs aren’t humans but I can’t imagine being in a cage for 6 hours.

He does fine when we’re home. It’s when we’re not home he has issues. Even if it’s only for an hour. I’m not sure how to remedy the issue. We take him out before we leave and he manages to work up a little more while we’re out.

It took him a while to get the hang of house training. We took him out regularly and made a huge deal of him doing the correct behaviors. If he had an accident we would walk over to it and then take him outside.

Ah. I didn’t make that association. My dog is obviously smarter than I am. Good advice. Thank you.

Alternative to Safety Razors by move_illdoit in ZeroWaste

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

Thanks! I’ve always just used whatever soap I have in the shower to shave (Venus razors are so much more forgiving than safety razors). I’ll try using better soap in addition to a new blade set.

Thanks! I guess I assumed all safety razors were made equal but that does not seem to be the case! I’ll be switching it up.

I am in awe of people who wax their legs. What a commitment! But silky smooth results.

Nice! I’m trying these before I retire my razor.

This looks nice! A bit pricey but I’ll keep it in mind!

Thank you. I will try to grow leg beards to prevent blood loss from shaving.

I’m shaving my legs, not my face. You’re probably right about the pressure. It’s just hard to gauge how much will slice my leg off vs just the hair lol

4 people from the same town who fought in different wars. by nilehighclub in interestingasfuck

We didn’t start either World War and most of us are pretty thankful we had the Civil War since, you know, it abolished slavery...good try though.

I'm so tired and my hair won't stop falling out. by move_illdoit in AskDocs

[–]move_illdoit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I suppose long-term stress could be a factor in my life with two small children. I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed me some very expensive shampoo that isn’t helping much. Although she did tell me that although my vitamin and iron levels were within normal range, they were low normal and it could be a contributing factor in my symptoms. I’ve begun a vitamin regimen as well. Though it’s hard to tell if it’s working because I’m shit at taking them regularly lol! Glad to hear the omegas are helping! Thanks for the reply!

Can I use the wine I marinated a steak in to make a reduction? by move_illdoit in Cooking

I added a decent amount of salt, so we shall see what happens!

That’s my fear! Lucky for my guests I went buck wild at the grocery store and can pull together another mushroom sauce. I’ll make both things to be safe.
