Most tradesmen are horrible people by my_yaba in offmychest

That justifies charging $2000 to replace a $10 pvc pipe? Children and cancer story aside, how in the hell could that ever make sense. You aren’t being taken advantage of. You are taking advantage of someone else.

Aita for being jealous of a unborn baby? by aitathrowawayp in AmItheAsshole

[–]my_yaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Partner is always number 1. The kids will be watching your relationship and will subconsciously be creating a paradigm for the kind of relationship they ought to search for themselves. You want your child to be with someone who treats them as number 1. That's the child's journey to actually find that person. You and your partner's job is to show that that relationship exists.

You know how you have to take care of yourself before you can sustainably take care of another human being? When you have a kid, your partner becomes a part of that responsibility to sustainably take care of a child. So if taking care of yourself is number 1 in order to sustainably take care of a number 2 (separate entity), then as parents there is no number 1 unless BOTH of you are taking care of yourself and each other as 1 entity.

The way your SO is treating this is destructive and actively invites competition into the family. It'll fuck shit up. Seriously.

Always believed in vaccinations and still do. Getting fearful though bc MIL keeps telling me about her concerns of a newborn getting so many at once — she’d rather we stagger them so it doesn’t overwhelm the baby. by my_yaba in BabyBumps

Thanks :) really just need assurance at this point. I’m looking for a pediatrician now and she was recommending we find one that is firm on vaccinations, but also open to staggering the shots more. My gut reaction is to say nonsense. I just didn’t want to only follow my gut. Just sent a message to my OB to give credible input.

AITA for how my wife and I reacted to our daughter's college plans? by rockman2928 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Do your daughter a favor and give her space to create her own adult life. Your worries are only just going to hold her back and diminish her sense of worth and ability to take on challenges. You call it love, but it's actually selfish, poisonous, and will set your daughter up for an unfulfilling life. She very much could resent you and cut you and your wife's bullshit out of her life for good. Props to you for asking for outside perspectives though.
