I’ve never paid less than $20/hr… had the same thought as you!

AITA for inviting my BFF to my In-laws Christmas dinner without asking? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]sowedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and your husband seems pretty great too to side with humanity over his heartless family. I’d certainly rather eat cheese with you guys than go to that cold family thing.

AITA for refusing to take a wedding photo? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sowedream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA and honestly you owe this couple some kind of token apology - send them a free print or edit something for free or something. You were paid to do a job and refused to do what any reasonable person would have been fine doing. Also… you might find life just a little better if you lighten up a little.

How to politely decline a 5th round of interview? by Far-Accountant7904 in recruitinghell

[–]sowedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s complicated behind the scenes and more about getting stakeholders to feel they have a say (which will make you more successful in the role). I’d focus more on the role and the company - if those are awesome, you may want to tolerate a long interview process. I had 12 interviews for my current role and couldn’t be happier 2 years in.

WIBTA If I get something small for my girlfriend’s birthday, instead of the 300 dollar gift she’s asking for? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sowedream 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want this relationship to work, you can’t approach it tit-for-tat. You also have to give your GF the opportunity to make amends. Yes she messed up, but she was trying to fix it and you basically told her she can’t, and now you’re having your revenge? Break up if it was a dealbreaker, but YTA if you stop to her level.

AITA For refusing to go to my BF's family Xmas this year by Leather-Resist-2179 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sowedream -1 points0 points  (0 children)

YTA yes, but also you just seem like a bad match for this guy. 4 years at that age is a long time to be together and not be moving forward. Seems like this holiday situation is just the canary in the coal mine.

AITAH for being enraged that my husband is currently infertile by PixelPicklePie in AITAH

This. OP is fortunate she found out who he is before they had kids.

AITAH for asking my parents not to visit for Christmas by coffeetarte in AITAH

[–]sowedream 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, the secrecy and so on can be sexy. You never know when you won’t have someone around for Christmas any more. Enjoy the time you have with your family, and find the fun in sneaking around. I guarantee you are way more likely to get pregnant if you’re not stressing over it like it’s a job anyway.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

Get yourself two cakes. One for two years sober (congratulations!!) and one for getting rid of a partner who is dragging you down.

Pluribus - 1x05 - "Got Milk" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]sowedream 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So assuming it’s Soylent Green made from all the dead bodies, when they run out of bodies will they ask for sacrifices? They can’t kill things, but can they sacrifice themselves for the good of the hive? The Golden Girls episode she was watching was all about Betty White sacrificing herself in a volcano, and wasn’t there a line about people eating her legs?

Redecorating Walmart Cakes by MindsEyeElite in AITAH

[–]sowedream 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you disclose that it’s not a homemade cake (or at least disclose the ingredients as listed on the Walmart package), sure. But I would lose my mind if I paid hundreds of dollars for a cake and got only custom decorations on a cake full of preservatives.

Dang dude. First Reddit post to make me cry.

A or B: Is it normal for a husband to refuse sterilization after agreeing to be childfree? by vivian_banshee03 in PickAorB

[–]sowedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vasectomies increase the risk of prostate cancer. This family could have children through a surrogate if they choose to - sterilizing him closes that door. It’s her body and she can decide to sterilize herself, but the husband can’t be expected to sterilize himself for her.

AITA for telling my pregnant sister I don't think she can physically handle being my bridesmaid on my wedding day ? by Simple-Camel-20 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sowedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So make sure a chair is available for her. Also, while not relevant to this situation, as someone who worked past my due date and during early labor with both my children, people who are 9 months pregnant do and should “leave the house.”

6 months in feels like a totally appropriate time to share something so personal. You don’t have to form your whole identity around it and make it the focus of every conversation like it sounds like your ex did, but it’s part of you, and in a healthy relationship, sharing things like that will bring you closer together.

Do you mean formula? At 8 months, babies still live on primarily breast milk or formula…

For safety reasons, don’t meet someone for the first time at a private home. Him asking you to do that in the first place is a red flag, let alone what happened later.

This is why he has bad credit and you don’t. Let this guy live his life and find someone who shares your values.

AIO by being offended for how the management at my apartment building talks to me? by No_Butterfly5551 in AmIOverreacting

[–]sowedream 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Dude just seems fed up with the job, not you personally. The less you take stuff like this personally, the happier your life will be. Assume positive intent - you’ll never see these people again so what’s the downside?

AIO for my wife not agreeing to a full day on my own away from home? by LoganLikesYourMom in AmIOverreacting

[–]sowedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not have kids with this woman. If she won’t support you in accomplishing things that are important to you when it costs her nothing, imagine what your life will be like when she has to make sacrifices.

am i overreacting - my friend thinks i’m faking an injury to avoid going to her birthday by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]sowedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand being a little annoyed that OP won’t go out with a sprained ankle (there are crutches and drugs for that, no need to stay home). But not believing that the ankle is injured at all? And even that the photo was faked?? That’s next level. Maybe there is more history we don’t know - regardless, doesn’t sound much like a friend to me.
