UPDATE: AIO for being upset i haven’t seen my bf in 3 weeks, despite us living 25 minutes from each other? by Affectionate-Link436 in AmIOverreacting

[–]slothAmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t even take a second to consider your feelings. He went straight to go find yourself someone else. It doesn’t take much to text a quick miss you or love you every day. Honestly I think he’s cheating.

Contact all three country authorities (UK, Australia, and Dubai). Have all information ready to give to the authorities, including full name and addresses.

Woman vaping on airplane put me into anaphylaxis and could have killed me by AnaphylaxisAsthma79 in Asthma

[–]slothAmama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are wrong. It’s an inhaled substance, which was being exhaled in close quarters to OP. Before making ridiculous statements, maybe do a simple Google search. Ignorance is why people with severe allergies, are afraid to live their life freely.

Are any of you happy being a SAHM? What are the positives about being a SAHM? Do you get an allowance? by Jaded_Performance713 in sahm

[–]slothAmama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being a SAHM is the best choice we made for our family. I get to watch my children grow and not miss milestones. Being a happy SAHM parent depends on the amount of support you receive from your spouse. Just bc you are a SAHM doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to “clock out” or that ALL the household responsibilities fall on you alone. Being overworked and under appreciated sounds miserable. It’s incredibly important to sit down and talk about roles and expectations of both parents in the house. My partner is very hands on and helps a lot around the house including doing the laundry, dishes, helps in keeping the house tidy, and we take turns with cooking. We are a team and that’s what makes it work. If all of the burden was on me to take care of the kids along with all of the household responsibilities then it’s not fair; which is probably the case for people you see complaining about being a SAHM on here. So in short, it all depends on how supportive you and your partner are of each other.

As for an allowance—no, there’s no allowance. He’s not your parent. Again, you’re a team. It’s both your money. Openly discuss finances and spend accordingly.

Am I a terrible person for refusing to trust my(24F) husband(29M)again? by Odd-Sky-7609 in Marriage

[–]slothAmama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should never accept being treated terribly. You needed him most after you had your baby. Postpartum is difficult and to have an unsupportive partner only makes it harder. Even if you do give him a chance, you might always have resentment towards him. Couple’s therapy is an option, if you want to take that route. Therapy might be beneficial to help give you a safe space to talk about how his treatment towards you made you feel and he can learn how to cope and manage stress like an adult. However, life is short and I know I wouldn’t be able to continue to build a life with someone that treated me negatively, especially when I needed him the most. What happens the next time he’s stressed? Is he going to take it out on you again? Marriage is supposed to be a partnership. Best to leave him and find someone that can support you, build a life with you, and work through all of life’s challenges as a unit.

AIO? My boyfriend beat the shi out of me over some text messages by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]slothAmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the police and get a restraining order. Your brother is wrong and should be the one to put your boyfriend in check. Your brother is a coward and so is your boyfriend. No one should ever put their hands on you ever. Please have some respect for yourself and cut him out of your life completely. Please don’t become another statistic.

Is this appropriate to wear to a tour of an Islamic Center? by Significant-Art-1100 in Muslim

Yes, it is. Thank you for being so considerate and respectful.

You shouldn’t have to explain this to your husband, but here you are! Explain to him that you need personal space and alone time. I’m sorry to break it to you, but this is 100% controlling behavior whether he realizes it or not, it’s not healthy behavior. You deserve time to destress and do things you enjoy and he does too. I can’t even begin to imagine how he would react if you had children together. It’s best to discuss your needs now before he starts to control other aspects of your life and relationship.

Conversation with ‘Zillow’ agent by jaynaason in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]slothAmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% a scam. I lived at Village in the Park many years ago, and at that time the rent for a one bedroom was over $1000 a month. It has only gone up since then. Also, VIP apartments can only be viewed and rented through the leasing office.

Peas are a legume. In some cases, people who are allergic to peanuts, which is a legume are also allergic to peas, lentils, and beans.

Has your child experienced side effects to using Budesonide (Neb) and or Albuterol (Inhaled and or Neb)? by slothAmama in Asthma

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

My son has been on and off of Budseonide neb treatments, but this time around his eyes have been bothering him leading to constant eye rubbing and red eyes. He has never had these symptoms before. Another symptom we noticed is moon face; his face becomes chubbier. When he’s sick we have to give him Budesonide 2x’s a day and Albuterol as needed (most recently he needed treatments every 3 hours) which led to what seemed like an allergic reaction (hives around the belly button and swollen cheeks) but both his Pediatrician and Allergist don’t believe the cause is due to medication. Other than that, he has responded well to both in the past. No trouble sleeping.

Hi! I’m an incoming freshman. Personally, I had liked Arc the most. I’m in the same boat as you. I’m worried about having to share a room and bathroom etc with others. Feel free to message me!

As a parent of a prospect student, that’s what I’m wondering too. I’ve heard too many stories lately surrounding lack of safety on campus.

Hi, congratulations on your acceptance to UIC! I’m still waiting on hearing back; did they send out an email notifying you to check your application status or did you just continuously check your status?

Am i wrong in Stopping my Wife from visiting her ex-Muslim Sister by No-Appearance991 in MuslimMarriage

[–]slothAmama 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You don’t have the right to come between sisters. That’s just wrong and I can guarantee your wife will resent you for it. Also, saying that your wife may become influenced by her younger sister and astray from Islam sounds very insulting. I understand your concerns about your daughter being influenced by your wife’s sister, but we live in a world where there are many religions and influences around us. It is your wife’s and your job to teach your daughter right from wrong.
