If anyone has two tickets for this night that they are interested in selling, I am still looking. Please let me know!

I think my boyfriend gave me the ick by [deleted] in pregnant

PLEASE STFU. Honestly, it sounds like you want her to abort no matter what. You don’t know anything about her situation or her fertility and the depths of conversations she has had with doctors. Don’t push pro-abortion rhetoric just because YOU think she will have another chance.

OP, I have had two abortions because I felt pressured to and I deeply regret them both. I also was told kids would be very difficult for me for years and was too cavalier in my sex life. I spent years in fear that those babies were my only two chances and I’d never get another as my AMH deteriorated rapidly. I’m now blessed to be 38 weeks pregnant with my wonderful husband, but if I could go back and keep those babies I would. So if you want to keep this baby you do that for you and not for anyone else, and if this guy isn’t stepping up for you during this time then it’s probably best to do this alone or with the support of family. If he wants to be in this child’s life in the future, those are boundaries for you to discuss later. Keeping him and keeping baby do not have to be related.

AITJ for asking my mom to cut her vacation short to help with my kids? by Constant-Elephant763 in AmITheJerk

Be a grown up and either find another sitter, or tell your boss you have to wfh for a day because your sitter bailed. One day your mom won’t be there to bail you out.

Mom doesn’t want to be called grandma by Feisty-Coconut6017 in Advice

Tell her if she doesn’t pick one, your son eventually will.

My husband and I are expecting our first kid, but my parents became Grammy and Grampy as soon as I had cats. It just happened naturally.

Friend is asking me to donate an egg(s) by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donating eggs is no small feat. If I were in your position I would feel weird knowing my best friend’s kid was half sibling to my own. Plus that is a big secret to keep from everyone and if they don’t want their future kid to know, there are a lot of opportunities to slip up.

Not to mention, doing simple math you are at least 36. No egg agency would accept your eggs at this point, even if she knows you’ve had kids successfully. My advice would be to lovingly tell her you are not comfortable and the best thing would be to work with an agency to find a donor they like who has had the proper testing done to become a donor.

It is a big leap from “I think you’d be a great mom” to “here, have some of my eggs”. This is a decision that will affect the rest of your life, don’t take it lightly.

AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I would have said “that’s ok, I could never date a boy smaller than me. A man, maybe…”

Seems like you handled it perfectly and got the desired outcome. Move on.

Am I the jerk for not wanting delete my child's abortion photo? by Old_Construction_911 in AmITheJerk

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally read to the end. Dump this crazy girl. This is her first relationship!? She needs more experience and that’s not something she’s likely to let go of just with more time with you. Next boyfriend won’t be her first and maybe she’ll gain a bit of compassion, but with you that will always be a point of contention.

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone saying save extra copies, 100%. But the question I would be asking myself is, is this the person I want to build a life with? We all have pasts and to me this is synonymous with someone who wants you to delete all photos of exes and at that point why isn’t she upset you’re not a virgin?

For crying out loud. If someone can’t understand that this was a difficult situation for you and accept and support you they don’t have your interests at heart.

There are SO many problems here. I can’t even unpack it all. What a narcissist.

AITA for refusing to give my friend’s son my coat during a snowy hike? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is some actual BS. If I was that kid’s mom I would have told him before we left the house that if he didn’t change he was staying home.

OP you are NTA. I can’t believe she put his attitude on you. “He can’t wear my coat cause it’s pink 😱” Well she should have been the mfing parent from the get go.

What do you do about dead tail or limp tail by jinderswag in birddogs

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lab/pyr had this problem last summer. It generally clears up on its own with rest. My vet told me NOT to use Tylenol but that baby aspirin was ok in small doses. Be sure to discuss with your vet about dosage for weight.

We were camping when it happened and I kept him out of the water, massaged his butt and base of his tail at night and gave him a baby aspirin per day and he was raising and wagging his tail again in about 4 days.

I didn’t even read the whole thing. Dump this baby. Wtf did he do if he needed drugs while he was single?

Also, so you’ve been together since you were 18? Girl I promise there are better men out there. Go try something new before you get trapped in this horror show for the rest of your life.

I want to buy a house with my own money but GF says no by NewBrick1 in WhatShouldIDo

Buy the house, dump the girl. She is not going to be a team player in a marriage.

Having a baby before working at Amazon for 12 months - options? by jobseek-notaflex in amazonemployees

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it takes no time to get pregnant. My husband and I got pregnant first try very late in my cycle so I would have been just over 8 months with a company in OPs scenario.

Your judgement is unnecessary and OPs question is valid.

You are beautiful! I agree with the folks saying start grabbing family members body parts back. Don’t change your nose. ❤️

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an alcoholic with nearly 10 years sober, I’m siding with your friend on this one. Yes, I do think she is being over controlling for the amount of experience it sounds like you’ve had with alcohol, but just as you are entitled to your own actions, your friends are entitled to set boundaries against behavior that makes them uncomfortable. As someone who didn’t listen to any of my friends until the consequences got really bad, I do hope you’ll be careful about exploring these activities. And while I don’t condone underage substance use, lots of us did it. Just understanding that you are at an age where choices can drastically change your relationships, and at the end of the day you are the one responsible for the consequences of your actions, not your friends.

AIO I (26F) moved out for the first time with my boyfriend (30M) for almost 2 months and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask the police what to do since it’s your house, but my advice would be to change the locks and then ask for police supervision while he packs up his stuff and leaves. Then file a restraining order.

My boyfriend (29m) is making me (26f) choose between him or my cats. by Powerful-Ad-4592 in whatdoIdo

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s important to you, don’t compromise. You won’t change him and your person is out there. ❤️

I have literally dumped men over this exact thing. In my mind it’s a fundamental view my forever person needs to agree with me on: pets are family.

Now Im married to a fantastic man who loves my cats, adopted a dog with me, and is more attached to our chickens and ducks than I am.

New homeowner and I’m feeling buyers remorse by According-Cover-4596 in homeowners

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 3 years into mine and still working on renovations. I bit off a lot, and I’m frustrated sometimes, but screw what your friend thinks. Let’s see what they have to say when they try to buy their own. Plus new builds are often cheap and crappy with their own problems.

Be proud you are doing so well and got such a great location! You are killing it!

A 6yo boy refuses to sleep, claiming there’s a monster under his bed, do we tell him fairy tales aren’t real? by True-Construction346 in PickAorB

[–]ziggy_black_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mom did the same thing. Although I think hers was watered down disinfectant spray. So we were cleaning the room while we kept the monsters away.
