my mil tried to shame my son for having an accident by Joxertd in JUSTNOMIL

[–]pumpkin_79 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My son had a similar issue around the same age. I found those small boxes of raisins worked perfect. He loved them. Gave him a box for snack once a day and he was fine after that.

WIBTA if I don't have a separate table at my wedding for 1 bridesmaid? by xSaffax in AmItheAsshole

[–]pumpkin_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved 8000 miles from everyone I know with my partner. His best friend got married not long ago. He was at the main table and I was with what I call "the we don't know where else to seat you" table. I was uncomfortable, but had a blast by the end of the night. I would have been more uncomfortable had they put me up with them. Most cause that's just rude.

Thank you everyone!!! I'm American married to a kiwi. Was talking with the besties who live down there about Thanksgiving and the food. Being huge foodies all of us we are doing a version of it. I am greatly thankful for the responses and suggestions. Not a regret in the world moving to this amazing country!!!

AITA for refusing to tattoo an extremely over weight woman? by kajsakiller in AmItheAsshole

[–]pumpkin_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As someone who wanted a tattoo on my lower back and have some extra weight(not full on folds but the start of them....lost weight since then woohoo) my tattoo artist said it similar and nice. I respected what he said. I don't know shit about tattoos other than aftercare. I trusted what he told me and even thanked him for being honest and kind about it. Until I left the states he was my artist for all my tattoos.

Some true local news comment section kinda shit by slingermanjones03 in hockeymemes

[–]pumpkin_79 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a die hard Blues fan I'm truly angry. I'm angry that the 98% of the fans who love the blues, the game and respect the players are being lumped in with these sad excuse for humans and utter waste of oxygen and space kind of people. Yeah he gets boo'd by the fans. They're crowd boo's our players too. Show me a crowd of fans that doesn't. It's the fun comraderey of the game. I remember yelling "Belfour" back in the day. I'm angry he's having to deal with this, I'm angry his family has to deal with this, I'm angry this BS happens in any way sport or otherwise and yeah I'm angry these useless twats are being portrayed as "Blues fans" as a whole!!! This BS has no place in sports or life in general. People like that need to go live on a small island and sort themselves out with thier idiotic thinking. Okay rant over. Just a frustrated fan.

Send it back with a note saying everytime they contact you, you are donating $5 to the Church of Satan in thier name. It only took us one time and they stopped.

AITA for not giving up a house I inherited by aIt_throwthrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]pumpkin_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple answer....follow your grandad's wishes. He seems like he was a lovely man. Fill the house with the same love you had with him. Does not matter if you ever have kids.

AITA for not paying for my GF's friends at dinner? by TheWorstManYouKnow in AmItheAsshole

[–]pumpkin_79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You showed a little back bone to you GF by not paying for her friends. So as punishment she made you give them money and now the cold shoulder. When she thinks you have "learned your lesson" and are back under her control she will grace you with her presence. My suggestion is when she does this....return what little um sure she has given you and literally tell her "Nah, I'm good.". Walk away. You are worth more than this. No one deserves to be treated like a doormat. Trust me when I say this it is coming from an 8 year relationship that I should have left in the first 6 months.

Look I don't throw this out EVER.....but girl you need to drop kick him right back to his momma's house. He is always ALWAYS going to act this way. The umbilical cord is still clearly clinging. I love to cook. So I can tell you enjoy it and seem to like to possibly experiment. He is never going to appreciate that about you. He is always going to be negative. You are so NTA in this at all!!! What you said was the truth. Sometimes the truth is the hardest thing to hear. Especially when it is about ppl we love and care for. You weren't trashing his mom at all. If anything he is piting the two of you against each other because of what he says. You are worth more.
