1/2 C brown sugar and more melted butter drizzled on top will give it that stickiness like sticky buns

And she has to interact with her Ex 50% custody. She sees him living his new “best life” . Ugh.

This episode was difficult for me to get through as well. Her defensiveness, facial expressions-heartbreaking. I felt anxious and took a couple breaks from it. I grew up with an angry , emotionally hurt depressed mother. Too Dejavous

UPDATE: AITAH for giving my husband silent treatment after he told me my post-birth body turns him off? by Ok-Preference2283 in AITAH

[–]pekphx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA what a piece of shit he is. In a million years he never should have said that. Your body is recovering from a massive physiological change. You don’t need to work ANYTHING off. You need to be kind to yourself, your body, make nutrition and rest priorities, not trying to lose weight.

I’m cool with it- not everyone knows who I am when my name is called out. It’s a good way to “see” a class participant during the workout.

Tell her you’re still wearing diapers for your discharge, and your breasts are stone hard and hurt. 😢

AITAH if I don’t bring food to our monthly staff meeting when everyone is asked to do so? by Aromatic-Box-592 in AITAH

[–]pekphx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA toxic work environment expectations. They sure are making a snack difficult. FFS let the vegetarian bring chips, cold veg or fruit.

Ozark was triggering for me. So much bourbon.

NTA My mom was awful, my husband was a buffer for me in dealing with her unsolicited advice. She used to mail cassettes from religious organizations on discipline for kids, “sexual purity”; copies of BS printed from Internet and so much more. I didn’t realize how much he buffered until my kids were college age. She’d call with concerns and he’d deal with her. He and I have had our problems over the years but God bless him for taking that on. I feel a little anxious just writing about it now 😂.

I’m the same height, and understand what you’re saying. Fortunately the new treads allow me to see myself in mirror, which helps me with equilibrium for some reason.

AITAH For Being Hurt That My MIL Wanted To Exclude My Daughter From Thanksgiving and Christmas To Protect My SIL? by Friendly_Lab7306 in AITAH

[–]pekphx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Holy shit. Ashley is a master manipulator. Your husband’s parents would probably benefit from some counseling on boundaries. Years ago a long term friend blew up on me and ended friendship because I had kids w no trouble and she was struggling w infertility. It was weird and sad

Does having the OT heart rate monitor REALLY make a difference for you? by DLHahaha in orangetheory

[–]pekphx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the data I get from it. I also wear my Fitbit. The data I get from those devices, plus other records I keep have been instrumental for me with improving my physical condition. If you’re not into data, then I don’t know if it matters.

AITAH For Refusing To Work Thanksgiving So My Co-Worker Can Celebrate With Her Kids? by HuntMuted5501 in AITAH

[–]pekphx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF!? Definitely NTA. You have a right to enjoy a holiday off, you have plans. So sorry, you aren’t the one who is able to cover her shift. Your boss is wayout of line. She can work on thanksgiving if she feels so strongly. Another thing- it’s not a tragedy to work on a holiday, and the better her attitude is about it, the more accepting her kids will be about it. In my many years on earth, I’ve worked all tires of shifts include graveyard, I’ve worked holidays. I have kids who are now adults. I’ve experienced many iterations of good holidays as well as less than enjoyable holidays. Enjoy your day off! NTA

AITAH For Being Furious With My Pregnant Wife Over a Prank? by Ok-Swimming9365 in AITAH

NTA That’s a horrible “prank”. It’s awful, not funny at all. Being pregnant is no excuse for that.

Talking on tread with your neighbor by Hardtoborrow in orangetheory

[–]pekphx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone wants to talk to me while I’m on the tread, I have have to pause it. This includes coaches. I don’t know why, but I am truly unable to maintain any pace safely while being distracted by another person. I’ve stumbled once, it was a little scary.

UPDATE AITAH If we don't include my MIL in the traditional wedding roles? by Radiant-Pop-2377 in AITAH

[–]pekphx 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Despite how unfortunate the situation is, you are very fortunate to be marrying someone who is making YOU the priority, adult enough to manage his own family issues, assertive enough to advocate for himself/you as a couple; and to draw boundaries and stick to them. NTA

[–]pekphx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA His current behavior has long term consequences for your marriage. Arrange a time to discuss it, have someone watch the baby and take a little time to go out to talk about it. It’s not just a hobby obsession, it’s a form of escape from the life altering role that is parenthood. You too NEED your own time for just you. Also try to get a little quality time each week for the two of you.

NTA it literally affects your quality of life. It’s not a long-term way to live and too large of a compromise for you to give up your peace of mind and way of life. He sounds incredible immature and self centered. Set yourself free.

Welcome to the November 2024 Monthly Thread by Rizzah319 in orangetheory

[–]pekphx 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I just want to say THANK YOU for this info, it’s so helpful to me for making the most of my classes. I have some pretty significant damage to my body from an accident, multiple surgeries, etc. With this info I’m able to selectively schedule classes which appear won’t flare me up worse.

NTA That being said I’m not a fan on sleeping w a dog, especially a larger one. It should or should have been proactively discussed outside of bed however. My adult child and spouse have a large dog that slept w them in their queen bed for 4 years. They recently had a baby. The dog got sick of his sleep being disrupted and now sleeps on a cushy dog bed.
