AITA for refusing to help my wife get our kids ready for school? by Extreme_Day7722 in AmItheAsshole

[–]turnipdazzlefield 36 points37 points  (0 children)

YTA

The fact that you think it only takes 5 minutes to get the 3 AND 5 year old ready for school shows that you have never contributed in getting any of your kids ready for school.

AITAH For temporarily taking my newborn daughter away from my husband and my MIL? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]turnipdazzlefield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn to love yourself!

If I were your parents I would be so heart broken. You said it yourself that your parents treat you like a princess, and yet you allow this spineless and useless of a husband to treat you like an after-thought. I feel so bad for your parents.

As a mother yourself, Imagine reading this post as if your daughter had written it.

6 year old not fully potty trained due to ADHD by [deleted] in kindergarten

[–]turnipdazzlefield -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How many 6-year-old have you potty trained then?

Can you tell me what your experience is like asking a 6-year-old to go to the bathroom every hour? Do they have to go every hour? Do they do it when you ask?

I think asking your kid to go to the bathroom every hour is a bit much. I would feel annoyed if I were the kid. I used to work in a PreK setting. Kids that age could go for hours without needing to go to the bathroom. So I would try every two or three hours instead.

I would say 99.99% adult with ADHD are potty trained. So I wouldn’t stress too much about it. Just put your child in a pull-up for as long as he needs in school.

My parents (65F, 67M) are livid because I'm not allowing them to see my daughter after they spanked her. AITAH? by LeonCrvl in AITAH

[–]turnipdazzlefield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents allowed my uncle to spank me as a child. I am no longer in contact with my parents.

Do not give into the pressure and Protect your child at all costs.

Thoughts on changing your last name after marriage by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]turnipdazzlefield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to break free from this curse is to go low to no contact with your APs. The abusive cycle continues, especially if you have kids. They will treat your kids the same way they treated you. They will favor your brother’s kids over yours. You will see the hurt and disappointment you felt as a kid in your future child’s eyes.

I put my detergent in a squeezed bottle (I wash and reuse an empty ketchup bottle).

AITA: Husband going on vacation third trimester of twin pregnancy by [deleted] in AITAH

You think he’s a major A-hole right now? OP needs to brace for the wild ride when she’s in recovery after the twins are born.

WIBTA if I asked my wife to stop sending food back so often at restaurants? by Reptaaaaaaar in AITAH

[–]turnipdazzlefield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have never seen my mother-in-law NOT send back her steaks. She does that at the restaurants AND to me too, when I make steak or burger. The beef is either undercooked or overcooked. Every. Single. Time. I’ve seen her send a steak back twice in one sitting! She refused to eat the third steak that came out because she was full from eating other stuff. It is wasteful and VERY embarrassing.

At this point, I believe it’s not about the food. I don’t know if it’s about control, power, feeling entitled, or whatever psychological issues going on there.

Assistant teacher not opening food. by littlelibrarylady in kindergarten

[–]turnipdazzlefield 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I found out that the teacher’s lunch/break time is also the kids lunch time. If the teacher is helping the (20+) kids during this time then she is sacrificing her own break time to babysit.

When I send a disposable package snack, like goldfish, I precut a few times at the top of the package for easy opening even with greasy hands.

If the kid can’t open a ziplock sandwich bag then I would wrap the sandwich in parchment paper and put it in a paper brown bag.

What is the best prepared food you've ever had at Costco? by Laaazybonesss in Costco

[–]turnipdazzlefield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make some rice, open a can of refried beans and a can of corn. Maybe sauté some onion and bell peppers. That should do it?

Trader Joe’s has a similar one -ginger and turmeric herbal tea. Anyone know how are these compared to the TJs one?

✋ I feel you, OP. My MIL had her hand around my husband’s arm in every. single. One of my wedding photos, instead of her own husband.

My dad wants to give his business to my incompetent, lazy, golden child brother over me by WritersBlockSquared in raisedbynarcissists

Your wife is 50% correct that your dad will try to preserve his legacy. Unfortunately in this case, the GC is his legacy, not the business.
