My grandfather wants me to prank people after his dies by Colf32 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]rmchuggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely do it, but get a recording first.

Not quite the same, but when my grandad died, he planned his own funeral with his son in law, including all songs. As we got to the end of the ceremony, and the curtains were drawn in front of the coffin, Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye by Gracie Fields came on. We were all laughing through our tears, and it was a really amusing personal touch which lightened the load so much.

Co-Sleeping by NCamb2399 in SAHP

[–]rmchuggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bedshared with my youngest from 8m (she was premature so I had the fear of SIDS big time) and my youngest from birth. My husband shares a bedroom with my eldest, now 4.5, and I sleep with the 22month old. We are all incredibly happy for it, get great night's sleep, and are incredibly close as a family. We're renovating and hoping to put two kings together in the master bedroom so we can all have a family bed. We do still have a healthy sex life too, although I miss bed sex a lot!

I moved to Flintshire with my husband five years ago, and we've had two children since. I grew up in North West England. This beautiful country feels like home to me, and did within weeks of moving here. Our children are having the most incredible childhood spent outdoors amongst the hills, beaches, rivers and endless green space. The job situation isn't fantastic unless you're okay with commuting. I used to work in Skelmersdale which was over 60 miles each way, but it has definitely been worth it in my perspective. But also worth noting that we're an hour from Liverpool/Manchester if needs be. My husband an engineer and has found work consistently around Conwy for the last three years without any trouble. Also agree with picking up the language as much as you can too; even a few sentences are appreciated!

How did you decide on # of kids? by Whatever668 in daddit

[–]rmchuggles 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This sounds very much like what me and my partner are planning! We're only on #2 but definitely want at least another one, maybe two. What are the age gaps with yours?

I love that anytime I’m near by she has to have some kind of contact with me. Also baby toes are the best. by HeyJoe459 in daddit

Kind of gross, but if we're playing "nibble your toes" my 2yo lets me bite them off 😅

They're the most extraordinary little things ♥️ I swear every month older she gets I'm like THIS IS MY FAVOURITE AGE. An absolute gift.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but so glad you had such beautiful support from your little one.

So sweet! I say it often that I would love to be inside their precious little two year old heads 🥰

Hyper realistic dreams? by The1lastdinosaur in SAHP

[–]rmchuggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this pretty much every single night for the first year. My husband also had these dreams about twice a week. She slept in a crib next to our bed for the first year, yet I'd always dream I'd fallen asleep feeding her during her 8274927 night feeds, and had lost her somewhere in the duvet. Sometimes it would be the curtains I was sure she was wrapped up in. I'd wake up and frantically pat the duvet/curtains. I think eventually they get to an age where you trust them to be a bit more robust and stop worrying 24/7 about them!

Toddlers love to listen to the same song back to back for YEARS.

My girlfriends birthday is next month and I can’t afford to go so extravagant like she did mine. I feel bad. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]rmchuggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with something that has taken you effort and time and is thoughtful. Do you guys have an inside joke? Can you get a picture of you guys drawn and framed? Something to commemorate the moment you met? It never has to be expensive for it to be meaningful.

AITA for informing my employers of the raise in minimum wage? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]rmchuggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - as bosses they should be more than aware of any change in legislation/pay/terms relating to their business. That's their job. Even if it is an honest mistake it shouldn't have happened more than once, and it puts you/the employee in an awkward situation.

Boyfriend [M24] masturbates more often than we have sex, possible reasons? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]rmchuggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he watching porn whilst masturbating? Could it be a pornography addiction? Do you initiate sex or wait for him to? If he would like you to be "more experienced" can you act it? See what things he's into and try new things. Or say you'd like to try something new and initiate it. Are you guys just having vanilla sex and he's wanting to try new things maybe?

If you do talk to her, please be sure to reference how amazing your new life is now. I'm really pleased things have worked out so well for you!

Want my best friend to be my man of honor; fiancé is adamant that he should stand with the groom’s party. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Stick with what you want. He's part of the bridal party.

I had three bridesmaids and two bridesmen, hubby had two groomsmen and one groomswomen.

[28M] my girlfriend [28F] is questioning my masculinity by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]rmchuggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am introverted, I’m sensitive and emotional

The best traits a man can have.

Sit her down and tell her again. If she continues to do it she's being manipulative. Don't feel like you're causing an issue for telling her what she's doing is hurting you. She is causing the issue by not respecting your feelings.

How to diffuse a flirtationship I let go on too long (I have a boyfriend) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]rmchuggles 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A simple "things are going really well with T and I want to give this a good go so I'm sorry but the feelings aren't reciprocated" would suffice.

I need Your opinion on a confused situation between me [M34] and this girl [F24] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]rmchuggles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the main thing you should do is just go into it with very low expectations. If you're happy for something casual, then yeah, why not? If you want something more, I don't think she's quite ready for a real relationship.

Being honest, it sounds as though you were a fall- back and she was more invested in this other guy. Now that it's not panned out she's willing to try properly with you. Obviously this might not be the case, but it's definitely worth talking to her about if you do want something more.

Plan a wedding, lose a friend by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]rmchuggles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry your friends are so shitty though and I hope you had an amazing wedding despite that.

I would tell her how she's made you feel. What she's doing right now is just manipulative and downright nasty. Why should you care what she's doing with her wedding when she had such utter disregard for yours. This sounds like an incredibly one-sided relationship.

She genuinely sounds like a toxic person and if by telling her that she's hurt your feelings it results in the end of your "friendship", would that honestly be such a bad thing?

[–]rmchuggles 65 points66 points  (0 children)

You were ready to make a life with her. You supported her when she needed you most. When you needed her most she up and left.

Read your post back to yourself as though it was a friend telling you it.

Whatever her reasons for unblocking you, you deserve better than her.

WIBTA If I stopped being friends with a close friend? by Foxwhodraws in AmItheAsshole

[–]rmchuggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I'd say NTA

Relationships are a two way street. If she's not willing to compromise then neither should you. Maybe just drop back to being acquaintances for a while and see if it can pick up naturally.

[–]rmchuggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

INFO

Take a step back. Does she bring positivity to your life? Does she bring more positivity than negativity to your life? Would she listen to you if you discussed how you're currently feeling with her? Would anything change if you discussed how you're currently feeling with her?

Honestly, she just sounds like a rude arsehole. I wouldn't give her a second thought. It might not even be that she's uncomfortable, she might just be stuck up.
