i’ve been wearing boots more often in wet weather and i’m trying to figure out a better drying setup than just leaving them by the door and hoping for the best mostly dealing with rain, mud, sweat, and the occasional fully soaked pair after being outside too long. i don’t want to mess up the leather, glue, lining, or insoles by using too much heat, but air drying can take forever and then they start smelling kind of rough if i need them again the next day i’ve been looking at boot dryer machines, but i’m not sure what style is best. some use gentle warm air, some look like basic forced-air dryers, and some seem like they might get too hot for nicer leather boots submitted by /u/CharismajTat to r/Boots [link] [comments]

What are purchases you made that were a game changer for home improvement / maintenance? My recent top purchases: Auto retracting hose reel - insanely easier to deal with anything that requires a hose (spraying the yard for bugs, watering plants, etc) Small garden cart - much easier to take leaf bags to the curb, move paver stones from car to back yard, etc Pressure washer - I can’t believe it took me this long to get one. Super easy to clean things including patio furniture, driveway, and others. What about you? submitted by /u/StrikingQuality1527 to r/HomeImprovement [link] [comments]

It's great for all weather, especially the mud we get here. I'm not afraid of scrubbing up my shoes in the sink, because I pop them on the boot dryer and they're ready to go for work the next morning. All of my shoes/boots are looking great because I'm not afraid to take care of them anymore. Helps keep them feeling "new" and not like I have to buy a new pair. Also: warm boots when I go outside in the snow lol submitted by /u/LesbianCowgirl- to r/Frugal [link] [comments]

What happens if you dont dry ski boots after day and ski tomorrow? I dried almost everytime with my hairdryer instead so far, but im getting tired using it and thinking of buying boots dryer (portable). Would you say it is must to dry every single time?

I'm a new mariner and some people have said that a boot dryer is a must on a ship....I've never seen a boot dryer on a vessel, but this upcoming hitch will be my first time sleeping on a vessel for months without going home. By happenstance, I already own a Peet. But frankly, the Peet is NOT bad, but it is super fragile, top heavy, and I'm surprised it hasn't broke in the four years it's been in my kitchen. I wish it was 316 stainless or something, not cheesy plastic. I do love that the Peet doesn't have a bunch of buttons and gizmos and switches and a digital display. I know some people make a custom boot dryer with pvc, a rubber collar, hose clamps and a hair dryer. But as a layman, I wonder if that might be more of a fire hazard than a Peet... I used to use a hair dryer for a forge, and I think the hairdryer would overheat and shut off, cuz of some thermal safety switch. Thoughts from the silver haired sailors?

Hey everyone, recently I bought a pair of leather gloves. In the past I’ve owned leather gloves, that being said I didn’t take great care of them and allowed them to get smelly. My question is would a glove/boot dryer be a safe option for the leather on the gloves, the dryers I’ve seen on Amazon promote ozone deodorization but I’ve also seen that ozone may damage leather, have any of you had experience with these dryers and any good/bad outcomes? I would like to prolong the life of these gloves but also don’t want to destroy the leather. submitted by /u/Express_Bandicoot_45 to r/fightgear [link] [comments]

At home, I rely on the DryGuy Force Dry boot dryer, and it’s one of those things I didn’t realize I needed until I had it. I use it year-round, not just in winter, for drying out hiking boots, sneakers, gloves, even the occasional wet hat. It dries everything quickly with gentle forced air, and because the tubes are adjustable, I can fit different types of footwear without any awkward balancing. What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t overheat or damage anything, I’ve used it on delicate running shoes and thicker winter boots with no issues. Here's the link to Force Dry: https://www.amazon.com/DryGuy-Force-Dryer-Glove-Articulating/dp/B01LZE505J/ And here's the link to Travel DX: https://www.amazon.com/DryGuy-Travel-Boot-Dryer-Shoe/dp/B010A5JBPO/ When I travel, I take the DryGuy Travel DX with me, and it’s saved me on more than one trip. It’s compact enough to toss in a duffel or suitcase, and it plugs right into the wall or even the car if needed. I’ve used it after rainy hikes and snowy days, and it always gets my boots dry overnight. It’s not as fast as the home model, but for the size and portability, it does the job well. Both models are quiet, which I appreciate, and they’ve definitely helped my gear last longer by preventing that musty, damp smell from settling in. I also like that they help with comfort, starting your day with dry boots makes a big difference, especially when you’re outdoors a lot. If you spend time outside, whether it’s hiking, skiing, or just dealing with wet weather, I can’t recommend these enough. Having the Force Dry at home and the Travel DX on the go has been a really practical combo that’s made my gear routine way easier. submitted by /u/Lazy-Chance-5496 to r/DecideWise [link] [comments]

I build a van every year to go ski the ski season in. Since I end up in some super cold places, I designed it to handle very cold temps. This year, I took a hot shower in -22°f in Big Sky, MT. It takes quite a bit of design to keep the many systems working in these temps (diesel heater, water, electrical warm, etc). I added ski boot dryers in the shower pan so the bits start warm and dry without soaking the floor, with a custom 4 pair ski box on the back! I'm shooting for 150 days of skiing this year (currently in Mammoth Lakes on day 113, so come say hi if you see me in the Mill parking lot!) submitted by /u/SanDiegoMitch to r/skiing [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/lsstvan82 Am I the Asshole for explaining my "Pizza to Joy Ratio" to a friend who was trying to justify buying a vintage car? Originally posted to r/AITAH Thanks to u/soayherder for suggesting this BoRU Original Post July 12, 2024 Odd name, but I'll explain. A few years back I came up with a simple math formula I use whenever I'm going to make a dumb purchase. When you come home from work, making a filling meal from scratch will, on average, take about an hour. A takeout pizza costs around $20. So, having that pizza instead of cooking, and getting to relax instead, means an hour of enjoyment costs you about $20. So before I buy anything, I sit down and think if I'm going to get a number of hours of joy equal to the price divided by 20, out of this item. This is only for non-necessity purchases obviously, because applying it to hotdogs or something would create a number of serious questions I don't want answers to. Here's the argument I got pulled into, and asked for my opinion. My friend has been arguing with his wife, and he kept talking about how happy it will make him. They can in fact afford it, and I did seriously say that if he thought he would get that number of hours out of it, he should go for it. I actually think with how hard he works he deserves it, and said that part out loud. He tried to call me out as being a hypocrite, because about a year ago I spent about $1200 on a Ghostbusters costume, proton pack, boots and all. I had to point out to him that I in fact throw that costume on frequently for a couple of hours at a time, it brings me great joy when I do, and that the proton pack is hanging across from my bed so I can look at it before I fall asleep. It was something I've wanted for nearly 40 years, and I'm not going to stop getting joy from it even if I'm over the $20 an hour limit. But his wife now uses the Pizza to Joy Ratio for everything, and she says it has helped her cut down on spending money on things she might only use once, or just thinks are neat, like anime figurines, or video games she's just going to let sit in her steam library and probably never play. My friend has called me an asshole since now whenever he's looking at getting something, she'll ask "how many pizzas is that?" I honestly think she's taking it too far, but she said its life changing for her. I kind of think I'm the asshole because it's just supposed to be something like offhand advice for silly things, like a banana costume, not applied to things like a washer/dryer upgrade. RELEVANT COMMENTS Rooflife1 And I’m not sure the pizza to joy ratio is technically financial advice. It’s not actually clear here how it was conveyed and I have worked in finance for years and have never heard of it. NTA OOP It could be how I conveyed it, yeah. If my piss poor memory is right, I think I said, "Before I make any purchase I ask if I have the money to buy it, in excess to monthly expenses, putting aside for emergencies, and old age, and if there is money left over then I (explain PtJR) and if I think I'll get more hours out of it than that, it's worth the purchase because the hours of joy you get out of one thing can keep you from buying another thing when you didn't need to." I'm somewhere on the autistic spectrum, so some times I say things that make perfect sense to me and it just doesn't sound like that to other people. & Oh yeah, it's nothing serious, it's just a very general guideline for the sake of not going insane because you feel deprived of fun things. ~ Pleasant-Koala147 My grandad had something similar that he’d call the “inconvenience tax”, but it was more for practical things than fun purchases. It’s a perfectly reasonable way to consider spending disposable income while maintaining some sort of spending limit. OOP Yeah, that's the big thing. I budget like crazy, so at the end of the month I have like $100 free. I get stuff I really like and I guess people notice that I'm not spending it on stuff I've forgotten about in a week or two. Or I buy takeout for my fiancee, because some times she has a bad day and it's worth ignoring my rule for her to feel better. Ironically, it's never pizza. ~ Pandoratastic Your friend's wife seems to be taking it that deep and that's what's causing trouble for your friend. Have you told your friend's wife that she's misunderstood your pizza philosophy? OOP He has, but I think it might be a bit deeper than that. She grew up a bit cash insecure and she had a LOT of bad spending habits that she got under control. I'm going to talk to him tomorrow night and see if we can have can come up with a way to explain to her it's not supposed to be used on NEEDED. Sure, her not spending $120 a week on anime figurines she'll put in the closet is a good idea, but she should only apply it to things like that, not QoL expenditures. Pandoratastic Yeah, for a QoL expense, you wouldn't be measuring joy but, rather, how necessary it is, which is harder to quantify in a meaningful way. OOP Yeah, like how the washer/dryer they've been thinking of getting would be a massive QoL upgrade from the ones that were in their house when they moved in, and likely saw the first Bush administration. Right now she's gone from comparison shopping to "but they work!" when they BARELY work. That's poverty math, not being cost efficient. Update July 14, 2024 Update:sorted by:Am I the Asshole for explaining my "Pizza to Joy Ratio" to a friend who was trying to justify buying a vintage Edit: Well I screwed up the title. It's been a long day. previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1e1afih/am_i_the_asshole_for_explaining_my_pizza_to_joy/ I had caused a bit of strife with my friend, after giving them some very basic, silly math I do before I buy anything that is NOT a necessity. His wife then began applying it to absolutely everything, and while she wasn't exactly manic about it, she was definitely taking it too far. My friend asked me to sit down with him and talk to his wife with him, because I've been friends with them for 10 years or so and he wanted me to explain things a bit better, since I have trouble with words from time to time. Well, here's the deal. She's pregnant, which I guess I found out when he did. She's VERY nervous about finances since she grew up like he and I did, poor as dirt, but didn't want to tell anyone since it's still in the first 2 months and she's worried about things like a miscarriage. The long and short of it is she was getting stressed by the idea of being out of work for months after giving birth, and was worried that if he bought the car it would eat into his savings which they would be heavily reliant on for a bit. Instead of going "you should have told me!" my friend and I got on the same page and he said, "I'm very sorry for making you worry about that, I can always buy the car later on when we know it's ok to do it. For now, you take priority." I told her, "I'm very sorry I put a brain worm in you that played into your fears, while also doing something that exacerbated your anxiety. Pizza math goes directly out the window when a baby is involved," instead of trying to reinforce that she took it too seriously, since I really didn't feel like trying to defend myself was going to do ANYTHING but make her feel more anxious. So, I ordered us all chinese, and we sat and talked about what their finances look like, and even though right now they can afford a baby AND the car without issue (they're both high earners) he agreed to wait 5 years and buy it as his "mid-life crisis car." That's about all. She's feeling way better, we had a SMALL celebration since she's still nervous about getting too excited about it, and I also apologized for putting her in a position where she had to admit that before she was ready. All in all, everyone is in a better place, I think.

Please read trigger warnings. Also, latest update is 7 days old, per the rules of this sub. Trigger Warnings: child abuse; child sexual abuse; grooming Mood Spoiler: fucked up but things seem to be moving in the right direction Original Post: March 4, 2024 I’m married with two young children. We live in a very nice area in America. Private neighborhood, almost no crime, leave your door unlocked type of situation. My daughter is 7 almost 8 and has a few neighborhood friends. We live at the top of the hill and her friends are at the bottom. I’ll often let my daughter walk to her friends house alone, with me standing in our front yard watching until she either goes inside or starts back home if their not home. It’s five houses down, so not far far but enough that she can’t hear me unless I scream. It was raining yesterday and she asked to go see if her friend was home. I said yes. I watched her slowly walk down, knock and then start heading back. She’s three houses down at our neighbors driveway when she looks over and starts speaking. Then she walks down the driveway and out of sight. Honestly, in the moment I thought nothing of it. I know these neighbors, they have two adorable golden retrievers they walk often and that love the young girls in the neighborhood. A little annoyed, I pop back in to check on my 3 year old inside before going back out and waiting. Well, 3 minutes turns into 5 and my mom instincts are starting to tingle. I go inside and wake up my husband to watch my son and race out into the rain. It’s been maybe 10 minutes since I had eyes on my kid and that’s not something I’m comfortable with. I get down there, work boots, no umbrella and jacket and knock at the door. No one is outside. No dogs barking. It’s dark inside. Im starting to panic. Then the husband comes to the door. He’s so casual and then seems to sense I’m freaked out because he laughs it off and explains that one of the neighborhood girls was helping him give his dog a bath when my child happened by and they all went into the garbage to dry him off. He said he was just about to send the girls home since they were finishing up. I follow him in and yep, there is a wet dog and two laughing little girls. He seemed fine, but his wife wasn’t home and the house was quiet and I just got this feeling like dangerous was close and idk, I just sort of rushed the girls out of his house. I don’t even know if I said goodbye or was rude. I scolded daughter for running off without telling me but she was confused because her friend was there too. This other little girl is only 6 and her parents often allow her to run around to neighbors homes. I have no idea how long she was there or if her parents knew. We walked her home, where her older sister met us and brushed me off when I told her she was with the neighbor, alone. Saying “we wondered where she went.” I was so shaken up that I was physically shaking, my teeth chattering. Idk why but I have this terrible feeling in my stomach that something nefarious is going on with this man. I want to text the neighbors who daughter was there just to see but my husband thinks it’s overstepping. He wonders if I’m being judgmental. Grown men can babysit young girls. Still, the entire thing felt off to me. His surprised and odd behavior when he saw me at his door was almost like I had interrupted him. It sent my hackles up in a way I cannot explain. My husband says my past is clouding things and making me see shadows in sunlight. I was groomed as a child by a family member so he thinks I’m hyper aware and over reacting. So, am I wrong to raise the alarm about this behavior? Or is it innocent? Who washes a dog in the rain? And alone with little girls? It’s weird, right? Am I crazy here? Relevant Comments: You've done nothing wrong, but dog owners do wash their dogs in the rain because of the mud: I guess the rain and mud makes sense. I was worried I was overreacting. I just find it so wildly inappropriate. He has no kids or his own. He’s not even close to me or my husband. I guess I need to drop it. My husband is annoyed I told my daughter she is never to go in strangers homes even if she knows another girl there. Come ask me first. My husband likes the “old school” way of leaving doors u locked and trusting others. He’s all “it takes a village” whenever I bring it up. He’s 100% against me bringing it up to the other neighbors. I guess I’m wondering if I’d be wrong to do that? Can you do a search for him having a record? He has no record. My sister checked on a website. You're not wrong to feel the way you do, but don't ruin his life without proof: I have no intention of ruining anyone’s life. I wouldn’t confront him. I want to reach out to our neighbors that have a young girl that was also in his house. She runs very free and is welcome in everyone’s homes best I can tell. My husband says this is the way they were raised and that I shouldn’t even bring it up to the mom. I just want them to know what I saw but I am obviously not from here and already struggle with some issues of not fitting in. I also don’t want to make more people dislike me for misstepping and implying he did something wrong. OOP responds to some comments: Commenter: Creepy AF. Why wasn’t the garage open? You’re not wrong here. What kind of man invites 2 little girls into his home like that? I’m kind of at a loss here because it’s absurd that anyone would think that’s okay. OOP: This was my reaction. It’s so inappropriate to me. The door was shut. It was eerily quiet and he was alone with two small children. Idk if this is cultural but in my culture adult men do not take in young girls. Commenter: I think your daughter needs to understand that when you say you are going to someone’s house if they are not home you come home and tell your mom if you want to go somewhere else. The fact that this adult male had two small young girls in his house without a parent there or even wondering why they are wandering around the neighborhood in the rain is extremely odd. I can’t imagine my husband, my brothers and my dad or anybody not trying to find out why these two children are wandering around the neighborhood n the pouring rain. Instead, they are bathing the dog? I can only imagine the scenario and it is not good. OOP: I may be leaving some stuff out. My husband is also upset that I explained to our young daughter why I don’t want her alone with strange adults. I didn’t go into detail but I told her that sometimes adults don’t treat children right and that she needs to learn to notice when she’s in a place and her father and I are not, whether we think it’s safe or not. She knows safe touch etc, so i explained it’s like that. She said she felt safe and fine with our neighbor and I told her that it wasn’t him exactly, but just people in general. My husband is angry at me for I’m tainting her youth and exposing her to these ideas but as a child I knew this and more. Commenter: How do you not know this neighbor? Are you new to the neighborhood? It's like he's a complete stranger to you? We live in a "it takes a village" neighborhood. It's fantastic. I never have to worry because we're always keeping an eye out for each other. Run that background check, then make an effort to know ALL of the neighbors between your house and your daughter's friend's house. OOP: There are 40 homes in our neighborhood. The ones with children are numbering 7. We know each other very well. Others we know well-ish. It’s been 4 years here now. It’s a great place to live!!! I’ve never gotten odd feelings from people but this neighbor has no kids and keeps to themselves. The wife is more social and I know better. The husband doesn’t talk much and I don’t know well but he always takes an interest in the kids, so I see him with the dogs and hear him talk about how much they love this one girl. Commenter: The way I see it is what adult male would be comfortable with two young girls alone in his house? Just for self preservation alone. Not implying your child but any kid could say anything happened and he's automatically guilty until proven innocent and even then everyone will still doubt him. If he wasn't afraid of what might have been said or implied he's either very stupid, naive or should be suspect of something. OOP: His reaction and nervous laughing and keeping saying that he was “just” sending them out told me he felt very very nervous. It’s another thing that raised my hackles. He was defensive Commenter: Have you asked your daughter if they only dried the dog? What did they talk about? Etc OOP: I did not want to make her feel my worry. I waited until bedtime when we discuss our day. She said he opened the garage for them and they went inside and dried the dog while he got the blow dryer. She said he took a picture of them to send to his wife and then they kept towel drying her until the doorbell rang and I got her. I asked about the blow dryer and she said she didn’t see it. I asked about the picture and she said it was the two girls with the dog smiling. (Editor's note- emphasis mine since it comes up in the next update) Commenter: Perhaps your husband is not looking at this correctly. Why would having first hand experience with a potentially dangerous situation mean that your instincts about a similar situation should be ignored? If you had been in a car accident without wearing a seatbelt, wouldn't you then be the voice of experience when telling people that not wearing a seatbelt is dangerous? When it comes to crimes of sexual abuse, why is it that a survivor's knowledge of how predators operate is seen as overreacting or irrational? This neighbor must be very foolish indeed if he doesn't consider that his actions might set off alarm bells, and that is the best case scenario. OOP: I received this message immediately after yours If you were molested as a kid you probably can't accurately judge this situation. Believe it or not, a lot of people including my husband believe survivors can impose their past trauma on innocent behaviors. I’m trying to navigate these competing ideas and find my own truth within this situation. I’m tending to believe my experience is giving me good insight and that I am not over reacting but I’m also not deaf enough to ignore my husband or others concerns. If that is makes sense. Just wanted to include this interaction for some levity: Commenter: In the northeast? What's that? Kamchatka?Or have you been ultra ignorant and assumed the world is the US? OOP: This made me laugh very loud since I am not from america. My husband calls this the northeast. It is a state named Pennsylvania in the northeast part of this country. They refer to their areas like this I think a lot. Update (Same Post): March 6, 2024 (2 days later) Anyone interested in how I handled this can read below: My actions so far have not been extreme. I saw his wife walking the dogs later that afternoon after posting and approached her. I told her how nice it was that my child wanted to help her husband bathe the dogs. Then I asked his name (just to show her how little I know him) She agreed with his nice it was and laughed. I asked about the picture and she said she got it and said “I know right. I told * how strange it was but there they were. They so sweet.” It got a little awkward and then I just made some small talk and left. The encounter was odd too me and I didn’t like it. I feel like her husband knew he needed to save face and sent the picture he took after he realized he needed to in case I approached his wife about it. She said it was strange. Not me. She got awkward. I text my neighbor who allows her daughter to go there often and just let her know that my child saw hers with this neighbor and then they went inside without my permission or knowledge and that while I am sure nothing nefarious is occurring (I most certainly am NOT sure) that I’m not comfortable with my child following hers into homes she isn’t welcome. I made it seem innocent while still informing her mother where and how I found her. I am not bringing this up overly with my daughter. She does not need to be worried but I intend on reinforcing our safety boundaries etc. My husband put little fight up when I told him what I was doing. I took a lot of your words and reasoning to get my point across so thank you Reddit. You’ve been so kind and helped me navigate my fears. Also thank you, Mia, for teaching me how to use Reddit and respond to people. Update Post: March 26, 2024 (20 days later) This is my update to say TRUST YOUR GUT!!! After the interaction with our neighbor I decided to tell the parents of the little girl that apparently wanders there often that i found them in the garage alone with him. I’m from India while my neighbors are all white. My husband is white and my daughter is mixed. This isn’t too important I think but for how sometimes the neighbors don’t seem as close to me. I’m a little like the odd duck in the neighborhood but I still decided to make a little noise. I told them how l found her and my daughter alone in the house and that I am going to start being more careful and not allowing mine to go anywhere without first asking, which included following around their daughter. She responded nicely and said she would talk with her daughter. I also talked with the neighbors wife and she knew about the picture and mentioned it being odd but waved it off. Things were fine until this week when our neighbor with the little girl called my husband to tell him that she self reported abuse from the neighbor. It’s all very early in the process but it appears my instincts were spot on. I haven’t seen or heard anything else and I doubt I’ll update except for this one to say… sometimes it’s right to trust our instincts. I had a bad feeling and I’m glad I spoke up. I’ll never know if that is what saved this baby or if she had that courage all along and saved herself. Maybe both. Poor angel. I am disgusted and heartbroken. We plan on calling a counselor and making it a fun trip with lunch at my daughters favorite place in the city. We will talk with a therapist to see if she’s been victimized but luckily this appears to be the only time she’s been alone with him and it was minutes before I arrived. I still can’t believe I have to do this. Who would touch a beautiful child this way??? This man is a monster if it’s true. He appeared so normal and kind. I’m so heartbroken that this deviance exists in this world and can only ask God for answers when I meet him. That’s the sad update. Sorry everyone. Relevant Comments: What did your husband say? He told me “you were right. Guess we should trust you from now on”. He’s distraught too. It’s so worrying to know how close we were to our daughter being harmed. Clarification on the picture: They said he told them he wanted to send his wife a picture of them bathing the dog. They got down next to the dog together and he took the picture. My daughter didn’t think it was weird. When I never saw wife I asked her about if she got it and she seemed to think it was strange but said yes. Final comment exchange: Commenter: I remember your post. I’m so sorry there’s been a negative outcome. I hope your daughter is safe and that the neighborhood treats this as it should be. Some people equate “nice neighborhood” with no crime and while there might not be financial or break in crimes, there is always child sex abuse crimes. Every neighborhood, with every background, race, creed, etc. will have this type of abuse and crime. That type of crime is sadly insidious. OOP: Yes. I must say I found my husband and many others dismissal odd. A reminder to not comment on Original Posts. See rule number 7. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

This thing has pretty much been plugged in and running since Christmas 2012. It’s a Generic brand boot dryer this one is branded for dicks sporting goods outdoor line, I have seen this same one at other stores with a different sticker on it. I use it year round to dry boots and shoes from sweat it helps keep them from smelling. It feels cheap but it just keeps working. submitted by /u/Lopsided_Daikon4146 to r/BuyItForLife [link] [comments]

My neighbour comes home at 7pm, leaves his boots outside, and plugs in an air mattress air pump to blow air into them to --I assume-- dry them. It's been going on for a week now. I can take it for an hour but enough is enough. Also, we have "quiet enjoyment" bylaws that he's breaking. I've unplugged the contraption and would like to gift him with some boot dryers so he stops making me want to throttle him. Please and thanks. submitted by /u/MissVancouver to r/Construction [link] [comments]

It is getting to be the rainy season where I work. It will rain for the next four or five months. Daily. I was packing up my stuff to take to work and I was packing my boot dryer. My wife said she was hoping I could leave it at home since they need it too. I was interested do I asked why she needed it. She said that she does lunch supervision once a week and that our son shovels snow. I proceeded to ask if this lunch supervision soaked her boots for ten hours a day for weeks on end and that the same question went for my son and his apparently constant snow shoveling. She said no and that I was making her feel stupid and useless by pointing out that I actually need the boot dryer to be comfortable at my job. I feel bad if I actually made her feel this way but I think an adult should be able to understand that stuff without being told. EDIT It turns out I'm definitely the asshole. As I stated it takes weeks for deliveries here. There was a package waiting for me when I arrived at camp. My wife had purchased a new, very good, new boot dryer for me and was trying to surprise me. She didn't want me to lug my old one up. I have already called her and apologized. submitted by /u/Appropriate_Glove801 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Fun Fact To Cover Spoilers: A day on Saturn is much shorter then a day on Earth. Saturn completes a full spin around it's axis in about 10 and a half hours. However, it takes Saturn 29 Earth years to do one complete orbit around the sun. Content Warning: Kidnapping, Attempted Cheating, Emotional Manipulation Mood Spoilers: Happy for OOP and her husband, dubious for the sister AIW for enforcing our surrogacy contract? (Originally Posted August 12th, 2023) Ok so for context my husband is James 39, I’m F29 and my sister is Tilly 30. When my husband and I found out I wouldn’t be able to carry a baby my sister offered to be our surrogate so we could still have a biological child. She did this totally unprompted and on her own. She had divorced her husband over a year ago and was settling into single life. We offered to cover all medical expenses and expenses for anything that could improve her life/pregnancy quality as it’s not legal to pay for a surrogate in my country. She was more than happy to do that and as time went on she said she didn’t like pregnancy, it freaked her out and she couldn’t wait to just give the baby to us and go on holiday. So three days ago she gave birth to our daughter. She’s perfect and such a beautiful baby and we were getting ready to take her home when Tilly denied it. She said I couldn’t have my baby. I was really confused and asked what was wrong, what did she mean? She said she’d changed her mind and didn’t want to give us our baby. I reminded her she wasn’t biologically a parent to my daughter and reminded her that she hated pregnancy and wanted to go on holiday. She said no, wouldn’t let me hold my baby and made the nurse take me out. Since then I’ve been crying and really upset. Our parents are trying to get her to see sense and none of it made any sense to me until James sat me down and showed me texts he had been getting from her for the past few weeks. They started out innocent but then she said how horny the pregnancy was making her. He sent back a laughing emoji but she carried on and prepositioned him. Asking him if he was attracted to the woman carrying his baby, saying surely it made him feel some way. She sent some risky photos of her in lingerie and he told her to stop, she wasn’t his wife, he wouldn’t mention anything as none of us needed more stress but this wasn’t appropriate. Since then I’ve been looking over the contract we had drawn up and there is a clause that allows me to gain custody by showing Tilly’s written agreement and understanding of our contract to a judge. I’ve text Tilly telling her she has a day to give me my baby or I will take her to court to enforce the contract and get custody of my child. Our cousins have text me saying I’m an AH for pressuring a woman to give her baby up. But it’s my baby not hers!!!! - Relevant Comments Did she have sex with OP's husband to get pregnant? I would forward all of those pix to the flying monkeys. Shut them down. Get a lawyer NOW! OOP: No. We did it at a fertility clinic - You're not wrong. But please have some empathy for the incredible sacrifice of risking her health, permanent changes to her body, and how incredibly difficult it is to give up a baby you've been carrying for nine months. I think this emotional confusion about carrying a baby that is your husband's is why she is flirting with him. She agreed but she did not know how incredibly hard it would be. Especially with all of the pre- and postnatal hormones. It's your baby, you should push to get the baby, but I don't think she's an asshole. Just overwhelmed and hijacked by her emotions and hormones right now. I hope in the long run you can have some compassion and mend the relationship. Even tho she is making things difficult right now, after it gets sorted it out, she will still ultimately be the person who made it possible for you to have the family you want. OOP: If I’m honest it feels like emotional manipulation. She’s had no feelings or attachment to the baby literally the whole pregnancy. She’s said she only did it so she could get the private healthcare, the holiday she’s going on was paid by us. Anything she wanted during pregnancy; food, clothes, Dyson hair dryer we got her. We sent her on wellness weekends. She admitted she wanted some pampering after the divorce and knew we would give that to the woman housing our baby. (OOP later added this to the original post) ​ Hmm. Without boots on the ground, I can't tell from here if this is a manipulation or if she is genuinely feeling emotionally overwhelmed... Carrying a baby for nine months, the rush of hormones related to birth, that is very powerful. So I can't write it off but ofc you know her better. But honestly this info makes you a little less sympathetic. It sounds like you kind of took advantage of her lack of care and attention and money/vulnerable post-divorce state to get a surrogate you didn't have to pay. It's still your baby but this doesn't sit right. OOP: Be so for real. We gave her anything she not only needed but wanted. Also I never asked her to do it. She practically begged me to let her do it. She’s healthy and I’m not. ​ Obviously I don't have all the details. You came here asking for input and opinions. I'm giving mine based on what you shared, which will always be an incomplete picture. The going rate for a surrogate is, what? $50,000 these days? There's not denying you got a bargain even if you gave her whatever she wanted. OOP: Ok. ​ Look from a purely practical point of view: if you can put your anger down briefly and you go to her, thank her for carrying the baby, thank her for taking on that risk and sacrifice, tell her you know it’s hard and confusing right now but that you are the mom, and promise her that she will always have a place in your life and the baby’s life as her most special aunt - you might actually get what you want faster. Just something to consider. OOP: Ok just so you know I did that. I did that as soon as my daughter was born. I thanked her immensely. And then I find out she tried to preposition my husband and then find out she’s holding my baby hostage. Makes it’s difficult to ‘put your anger down’. - Why didn’t your husband say anything when she was texting him inappropriately? OOP: I have a heart condition and it was the last few weeks of pregnancy. I was constantly stressing something would go wrong so he wanted to reduce the stress for me and Tilly - OOP: She is not my child’s mother. I am. End of. I'm sorry for the predicament you find yourself in, but in many countries, LEGALLY, you are not. OOP: Luckily we have the clause which means I am. All I have to do is get a judge to enforce it. ​ If the law states otherwise no judge CAN nor will enforce it. I hope you have a good lawyer. i do think you should be given your baby, since baby is biologically yours. OOP: Thank you. We’re not from the states so I think that makes a difference. - You are not wrong. I hope your sister didn't have an ulterior motive to get pregnant with your husband's child in hopes of taking him from you. That's disrespectful. The child is biologically you and your husband's. Take her to court. Call for a welfare check on the child. I'm sure your sister had nothing prepared to bring home a newborn. Then again, if she did. She's had this planned. I would also poatpone the holiday at the bare minimum. After you have your child, fulfill the contract. OOP: We’ve paid for them to stay longer at the maternity facility they are in so that we have peace of mind baby girl is ok and safe! ​ Good thinking. I was concerned for the baby's sake. My heart breaks for both you and your husband. What should be the happiest time in your life has become a huge betrayal. As long as your child is safe. That's the most important thing right now. Have faith. You will get your child. It's just going to take a little longer. You have the law on your side with the contract. Stay strong and lean on your husband. You both will get through this together. Godspeed. OOP: Thank you so much. If I thought my sister was mentally unwell I’d be the first one to help but it really feels like manipulation as she didn’t get what she wanted. I’m upset to not have her with us for her first few days but at least she is safe. - OOP: Our contract was very clear. Tilly did not wish for rights to the baby. She gave those up of her own free will pre birth. She was evaluated to be of sane mind when she made this decision - If its illegal to pay for surrogacy your country I don't see how this contract can be enforced. Honestly surrogacy disgusts me and should be outlawed. It's a form of human trafficking and exploitative. OOP: Because we didn’t pay her to do it. She offered without being asked. - You're not wrong. It really is a horrible situation no matter how you slice it. But this is exactly why you have the contract in place. Just, know that there's no clean or easy way out. OOP: We’re giving her to the end of the day before we start the legal proceedings - Did she already have kids? If not she had no idea what she was agreeing to, growing a baby inside your body is a life changing experience, it’s the closest possible connection between two people. I believe this is why generally surrogates must have children of their own before signing a contact. I don’t think anyone’s is wrong here, she just gave birth so mentally she’s in a very unique place with all systems set to taking care of the baby, the situation sucks for everyone. Was there counselling before? This should have been discussed beforehand. OOP: She has a son. I’ll add an edit but it’s feels really manipulative to me. She basically begged to let her do it for us - The comments in general are supportive of OOP and wish her the best, however, several commenters point out possible legal issues and there are a few that heavily criticize OOP for having a surrogate at all and some accusing her of exploiting her sister. - AIW for enforcing our surrogacy contract? (Update) (Posted August 14th, 2023) Just thought I’d give a little update as lots of people were using the update bot. We have Tilly 24hrs before we started the legal proceedings to give us our baby. I’ve been into work today to keep my mind busy as I was so nervous and I work in a hospital so it’s kept my mind busy whereas James is able to work from home. It’s been so hard the past few days not having our daughter with us, we’d imagined being able to spend the first few days of her life together as a family, getting in all the newborn skin to skin contact but instead we’ve just been looking at her empty nursery. When I got home from work James told me that the maternity facility had been in contact to say my sister and our baby had been discharged. One didn’t want to worry me when I was at work and had been trying to find them but it had only happened about an hour before I got home. Then two hours later someone knocks on our door and it’s Tilly holding our baby. She gives her too me and just shrugs and says sorry but that it wasn’t her fault she was attracted to the man whose baby she was carrying but that she’d forgotten how much newborns cry and need to be fed and said she wasn’t the mother. She left quickly after that after giving us the final legal form with her signature on. Safe to safe we’ve just been soaking in having our baby with us finally. We been able to put her in the clothes we’d gotten her, we put her down in her crib and fed her a bottle. And most importantly we’ve had so many cuddles. We haven’t really put her down and I feel a bit scared to. Like she can be taken away again. She’s beautiful and she’s perfect and her name is Alexandria Renee. Relevant Comments I'm so glad you've got your baby back. I hope that you never let your 'sister' anywhere near your child. She stole your precious first days with your baby, just because she wanted your husband. That is disgusting behaviour. She doesn't deserve to ever be forgiven. OOP: I’d like to forgive her if it’s mental health related for my nephews sake as well but I’m not too sure - I'm so happy for you,I was worried that you would have to give through a lengthy court battle. She is in wonderful hands. Will you keep in contact with your sister? OOP: I’d like to. Hopefully she will have an attitude change. - I’d suggest a “trust but verify” type approach from here. Get some cameras, take a good long (couple months, maybe a year) break from having much to do with her in-person, if you put your daughter into any sort of childcare make sure they know to call you/husband before letting anyone else pick her up (should be standard procedure, but emphasize the importance). It could very well be that this whole thing is just the pregnancy/labor hormones messing with your sister’s head, in which case she’ll probably calm way down, back way off, and generally be embarrassed about the whole thing. If she does, it would be a kindness, and probably easiest, to just let it be water under the bridge. If it’s more than that, well, that’s why you take precautions anyway. OOP: I’d like to do that. But obviously will not tolerate her coming onto my husband submitted by /u/boru_posts to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]
