How many people are actually buying “luxury/premium” diapers?
I’ve been getting so many targeted ads for all of them (Alppi, Coterie, Dyper, Hello Bello, Honest, Kudos, Millie Moon). In my head, they’re just diapers. Babies stay in a diaper for a couple of hours until the next change, they’re a short-lived consumable item, there is no need to be expensive. Most everyone I know uses Huggies, Kirkland, Pampers, etc. submitted by /u/HelpMeHelpMyFriend0 to r/NewParents [link] [comments]

Plex has officially ruined their free content for me with obnoxious advertising
Lifetime Plex Pass holder, and up until now, also an enjoyer of their live TV feature. Last night was the last straw for me... ...my wife and I have started getting into old episodes of Bob Ross' 'The Joy of Painting'...it had been a month or two since we last watched, but holy hell the advertisements. Had a genuine 4 minutes of ads in between clips of the show...followed by a bizarre 60+ second advertisement for the show itself...which we were already watching! But the real kicker is that while the show was playing, 'Huggies' ads started appearing on the bottom and side of the screen. That is, the window that the show was playing in shrunk by about 20%, and new ad bars appeared on the sides. It took a bit of finaggling to get them to disappear, but they kept coming back. I'm disgusted at how bad this has all gotten. I immediately turned off the show and began torrenting all 31 seasons...so long as Plex doesn't start pushing ads down our throats on the server side, I guess this is the future of streaming... Edit: wow, the rapid response from a bunch of advertising simps surprised even me. Y'all need to go back and do some remedial reading review. My issue isn't with advertisements...it's with animated advertisements playing in the space around the TV show, while you're trying to watch the show. I'd love to know where some of y'all would even draw the line...I guess if they started playing advertisement audio over the top of the TV show audio, that would be okay as well? Lol, pathetic. submitted by /u/Kindly-Form-8247 to r/PleX [link] [comments]

Reddit has started shoving Huggies and pampers ads down my throat when they never used to
I thought I got rid of these fucking ads a while ago. For a long time my ads were video games, anime figurines, art, and anime, which I ACTUALLY LIKE. Pisses me off so bad when ad companies think that just because I’m a woman in breeding age that means I want babies I’m as childfree as they come. I can’t stand kids and want nothing to do with them. The sound of babies screaming makes me run in the opposite direction Why can’t ad companies show me video games and anime Why do I have to have snot nosed brats shoved in my face? There’s nothing cute about changing a kid’s diaper. Fucking nasty ew get it off my page!! Reddit has started shoving these fucking Huggies and pampers ads in my face I hate kids. Get them away from me! Get these gd ads away from me they actually repulse me /rant submitted by /u/iubworks-art to r/childfree [link] [comments]

[RANT] I thought I knew ALL the pitfalls of Internet. Then my friends kids introduced me to a fresh hell of brain rot.
I'm 42, Have a Masters in Communication Arts (I promise, it's not a brag. I'll explain later). I grew up with cable descramblers with zero parental controls and have been on the internet, unsupervised since AOL 2.5. Have done work on children's television in both programming and advertising departments. Currently in sales and marketing (unrelated field). Dark web, deep web, unlisted directories, invite only chats, r/ElsaGate/, huggy wuggy, self harm/ED influencers on tumblr, creepypasta search results for "." on youtube, whatever the internet serves up I've at least heard of. Labor Day BBQ with our couple friends that also have kids, that we've known for nearly 20 years. Amongst them, a lawyer, an architect and two doctors of physical therapy that specialize in pediatrics. They don't do drugs, drink in excess, beat their kids, and are very much involved in their family and community. We've made comments about how lax they are regarding unsupervised tablet and letting the kids drive on the TV (all the kids were 2-8 Years old) Our two kids are whitelist only content viewers. PBS, Disney, Mr Rachel, Daniel Tiger, Pokemon and for my 5 year old, maybe a Dragon Ball episode with dad before bed. The kids at the house use voice command to pull up "Peppa Pig Videos". I can do without the jingle and the muddy puddle jumping but fine, whatever, it's on the white list. 15 seconds into the video, peppa is throwing purple dildos, poop, twerking that would make a Worldstar viewers blush, all with the pacing of hyperpop. The whole watch history is full of this stuff. I only bring up my education to speak to the Children's Television Act of 1990 (CTA). It was designed to prevent "program-length commercials" that blur the line between a show and its advertisement for young viewers. So no GI Joe commercials during GI Joe cartoons. No ads presented by the characters in the show. Good guardrails. It also had mandates that all broadcast television stations serve the educational and informational needs of children by airing a minimum amount of "core" educational/informational programming each week. Like staying away from downed power lines, try not eating too much candy or your teeth with rot. That kinda stuff. I'm reaching out to kids of the 80s and 90s that are now parents. If you don't set up a whitelist with your family and friends, whatever you think your kids are watching, you probably aren't. Even if you are a crunchy granola Montessori parent. Your kids will probably see something that would cause weak-minded children to go into a brain rot spiral. I can't even compare it to dumb stuff of the 90s/2000s Ren and Stimpy, Southpark, Beavis and ButtHead, Adult Swim content, Teletubbies. Sure metal junk food, like one of those sour candies in the shape of a baby bottle. It's not just predators, ads, begging twitch streamers that cater to kids that would rather watch than play themselves, and attention stealing social media doom scrolls or TikTok videos about making a diamond in your microwave using aluminum foil. This new stuff is like drinking bleach or getting into their fun aunts medicine cabinet while being rewarded with massive Candy Crush/progressive slot machine style dopamine hits. That is what everyone is competing with when it comes to your child's attention. If it helps even one dad, check your youtube watch history, not just the thumbnails, watch the stuff they see. Some of this stuff has like 36M+ views, each! To put that in perspective the "Miracle on Ice" of the 1980 Winter Olympics had 35M viewers and is has been hardcoded into American pop culture for decades, even made a movie about it. This attention based economy has created monsters on both sides of the screen. The governing gerontocracy defers to tech consultants who profit off of this kind of content. submitted by /u/Drama_Derp to r/daddit [link] [comments]

AITA for ruining my brother and his wife's pregnancy news with the news of my recent diagnosis?
I am not The OOP, OOP is u/RA199299 AITA for ruining my brother and his wife's pregnancy news with the news of my recent diagnosis? Originally posted to r/AmItheAsshole BoRU 1 Posted by u/KittenDealinMama TRIGGER WARNING: Cancer MOOD SPOILER: Appalling but Ultimately optimistic Original Post June 9, 2020 AITA for ruining my brother and his wife's pregnancy news with the news of my recent diagnosis? Bit of backstory, my brother and I are very close, his wife and I not so much, we've had our fair share of tension. Anyway I fell sick in the middle of may, but held off getting checked out because of covid and safety reasons. Eventually when June started I decided to go check it out, turns out it was stage 2 breast cancer. I decided to tell my family 2 days ago since lockdown laws have been lifted, so I invited everyone over and when I told my brother and his wife he said okay that's fine because he has news to share too. So our family gathered and my brother decided to go first (he did ask me) and he announced that his wife is 4 months pregnant. Of course everyone was overjoyed. After about an hour they asked about my news, and I knew this was probably the last time in a long while before I had everyone here in person, so I told them. And of course the initial joyous atmosphere was gone. The rest of the evening was a lot of support for me and not a lot of attention on my brother and his wife. My brother didnt seem to mind this, as he was quite distraught with my news, but I saw his wife pretty upset and cornered off. So I decided to approach her, and I apologized for the timing of it all. She told me I could have waited a bit and skyped everyone with the news, as it's just stage 2, and let my brother and her have this moment with their family. I told her I initially called this meeting for this exact reason and she said she knows but I knew my news would damper everyone's mood. So I told her shes being ridiculous and I wanted to tell my family in person, since they are my family after all. And she burst in tears and demanded to go home, which my brother obliged to even though he was confused. He promised he would come see me soon since he stays close by to me. Later that evening I get a message from him asking if I told his wife that she isnt part of the family and that I deliberately wanted the attention on me, because that's what shes upset about. Also the next day my parents called me to check up on me and my mom mentioned that my brothers wife called yesterday evening really upset telling them what "I said" and claiming I'm jealous because shes pregnant and I'm trying to ruin her life. I told my parents what actually happened and what i really said and its caused not only tension between his wife and me, but my parents and her too, and now shes also blaming me for my parents not being her biggest fans. My brother is torn but has been trying to talk to her, which results in more tears and a strain in their marriage. All this drama is making me think that I should have just called up everyone rather, or just told my brother that his news had to wait, even though that would have been selfish of me. I really wanted my family's support that day, but I'm starting to rethink whether it was worth all this drama and potentially causing further problems. So reddit, AITA? VERDICT: NOT THE ASSHOLE TOP COMMENTS LeftHand_of_Kindness NTA - You called the meeting for your news. Also, if sharing it in person was unimportant then why couldn't your SIL share the pregnancy news over Skype? Her own reasoning should have been good enough for her. And good luck with your treatment. ~ Prince-Lee NTA. I was so ready to call you YTA from the title alone. But you arranged this meeting to break the news of something very serious, and your brother decided that it was time to break news as well. Could you have handled this better? Well, yes— you could have asked him privately what his news was when he said he had something to announce so that it didn’t get awkward like this— but regardless, the blame does not fall on you at all. But the fact is that cancer is... Like, a bit more of an important thing to announce than a pregnancy, and the SIL made a huge misstep getting jealous and saying what she did (Skype? Really?!). She’s definitely the asshole here. There are things more important than a pregnancy, especially because a pregnancy has a lot more of a time frame to announce than a disease you’re going to need to get some pretty obvious treatment for. Also— I wish you a good recovery. EDIT: Wow I didnt expect this to get so so much lovely feedback, and to think I was slightly scared to post this, thank you all for the unnerving support, love and huggies. I read (and still reading) every single comment made and I really really appreciate it. I will most definitely fight through. Thank you all so much. Just wanted to add a few points: When brother told me he had news too he was really super excited and added it as a just by the way I'll announce mine too, he did apologize and admit afterwards if he had known what my news was he would have held off his, because right now what's important is my recovery. He also admitted he wrongfully assumed that my news would automatically be good (I'm usually always the happy chirpy one). His wife wasn't too fond of this either. Brothers wife also had a miscarriage beginning of the year, which is why this pregnancy I suppose was extra special. I'm truly happy for them, I just wish she could understand (like one user pointed out) that this isnt a competition. I dont know why I couldn't tell him over the phone, we are really close and I knew it would have crushed him, I couldn't steal him away at the gathering either because he was the last to arrive, and when he did he just quickly mentioned "Hey OP mind if I go first" and I was frozen on the spot so I said sure. Also pretty silly on my part. It's hard to explain that feeling where you absolutely frozen and theres a big lump in your throat that prevents you from speaking, but saying the news in the first place was really difficult to begin with. Edit edit: Just another point to clarify, I'm not a saint, but my brother does mean a heck of a lot to me. It's exactly why his wife and I cleared the air between us before, because I wouldn't deliberately make his life hell by pissing her off. Hence why when I saw she was upset I approached her. And when she told me I could have skyped i responded with I wanted to tell them in person since they my family and they would probably want to be there with me when I broke the news, I never once implied she wasn't a part of it. My brother and parents know this. Update July 6, 2020 (1 month later) Sorry this is so late, a lot has been happening the past month since the news came out, and since I've received a tremendous amount of love from reddit I thought it would be only fair to let you all know what happened. First and foremost, I've started treatment, also one of the reasons I couldnt update sooner. Thank you all for your well wishes, I plan on bouncing back as soon as I can. Anyway, I could see that my brother was under a lot of stress, and I finally sat him down to talk about it properly, he showed me a bunch of texts that his wife sent him telling him he is a shitty father for choosing me over his family, she said I was seeking attention and nobody cares about her. And one thing that really got to me was that she told him to choose once and for all, and if he picks me he loses her and his child and if he picks her she doesnt want me in their lives at all. I felt terrible, not only for him, but knowing that I could have prevented all this. I took the time to apologize for putting him in this position, and if I had just pulled him aside soon enough and given him a heads up, he would have truly understood. Brother tells me I shouldnt apologize, because he should have been more considerate, he also mentioned that his wife would have probably still gotten mad at him whether they did or didnt give the news on that day. So I decided I should invite her over for coffee, to sort out everything. I spoke to her alone, I asked her about everything, she was very cold and didnt really answer, so I started talking first by apologizing if I made her feel excluded from the family or that her pregnancy was of any less importance. I explained that I should have given them a heads up so we could have avoided what had happened all together and that was my fault, and that I was very sorry but I also mentioned that the way she reacted and went to the extent of lying wasnt okay. She then started crying and vented out about how angry shes been, and that my brother always put me first and recently they've been going through a rough patch and when he "sided" with me it made her even more upset and feel even more lonely. She admitted she lied to my parents and my brother, saying that she was hoping they would show her more sympathy and when they were cold to her she got even more upset. After hours of talking she apologized for how she acted and has been acting. And she would like if we moved on from this. My brother came later and they both went home, he texted me saying they both spoke for hours and agreed to couples therapy. My parents are currently living with me and helping me out tremendously, but they not quite happy with my sister in law yet, although they promise to try to work things out, things finally seemed to calm down, and let's hope it stays that way. None of this would have been possible without the feedback you all gave me, and I'm indebted to that, so thank you! (ETA: All of you are so kind, honestly, but I wanted to clarify that I'm no saint nor am I selfless, i know what happened wasnt entirely on me, however, in order to focus solely on my recovery I cant be stressed out about this whole situation and have all this tension around, seeing my brother being put in that position and my SIL, as hurtful as she was, being upset and holding hatred can affect herself and the baby, I did what I could to fix things so that everyone can focus on being healthy and being positive without holding any grudges, I know I sure will. I know my SIL, she can be very stubborn and unreasonable, and if I left things in her hands I'm 99% sure it would have resulted in much much worse circumstances than me putting the first hand forward, at least now I can focus on my recovery without any distress or toxicity. I'm human, I felt angry, I felt upset, yeah I wanted to give her a piece of my mind. But in doing so isnt helping myself, her, my brother, or my family, only damaging things further. This realization is what prompted me to let it all go and focus on positivity and my mental and physical health.) Last edit: I spent all day on reddit reading EVERY little or big comment made, and honestly I didnt know you could feel so much support from people you never met. You are all the amazing humans. Thank you all for the upvotes, comments and awards, and I'll still read every single comment, but this will be my final edit. And for the people who asked, I'm 24 :) THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT THE OOP DO NOT CONTACT THE OOP's OR COMMENT ON LINKED POSTS, REMEMBER - RULE 7 submitted by /u/Direct-Caterpillar77 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

I tracked 14 months of baby data: every diaper, every ounce of formula, every dollar spent. Here are the actual numbers!
Hello, future, soon to be, and already dads! When our baby was on the way, I tried to find out what the formula and diapers will cost. After all, this is one expensive journey, and it's good to be prepared! There are multiple estimates out there that vary widely, so I always wanted to see what it will actually cost. That is when an idea to track it all came up. When my daughter was born, I became a man possessed. Not by sleep deprivation. Not by baby wipes. By data. 🍼 Every bottle fed. 💩 Every diaper changed. 📈 Every ounce tracked — for 14 straight months. There are multiple apps on appstores that you can use to replicate it. Me and my wife used an app called 'Baby Tracker' by Nighp Software for iOS. Free version is absolutely enough, unless ads bother you or you need watch integration. Ads are not intrusive though and apple watch screen is too small to bother with in when you're in the middle of changing diapers anyway, so stick with free version. Now, for the data. Here’s what it actually costs. 1. Formula Over the first 14 months, our baby drank 10,876 ounces of milk. That is roughly 322 liters or 85 gallons. Milk consumption chart Some notes: Around 4 months, we started purees and food other than milk. Around 8-9 months, we peaked with milk consumption with baby eating around 35 ounces a day Around 8-9 months, we started feeding her more and more of what we ate, with that trend accelerating once the baby went off formula after 1st birthday. Milk cost Now for the cost calculation. This can vary a lot based on what formula you're using. We were using Hipp formula that tends to cost around $45 for 800g. It takes around 4.3 g of that formula to prepare 1 oz of milk. 1 gram of formula = $0.05625 or 5.625 cents 4.3 grams of formula = $0.241875 or 24.1875 cents So it costs 24.1875 cents to prepare 1 oz of milk Organic whole milk is $5 for 64 oz, so $0.078125 or 7.8125 cents So with these assumptions: Cost of milk per ounce This is the monthly cost: Cost of milk calculation For a total cost of $2829 for formula and $79 for whole milk for a grand total of $2908. Notes: Baby actually drank 85.6% of served milk, or $2489 worth of it It means $419 basically put down the drain. You can potentially get some savings if you prepare less milk at a time to avoid spoilage, but you risk baby crying in the middle of the night waiting for more milk while you try to save a dollar here or there - carefully weight your choices haha 2. Diapers Over the first 14 months, the baby went through 3349 diapers. Diapers changed by month Some notes: We primarily used Huggies with wetness indicator which was super helpful. A few times, we've used diapers without it, and it was a bit of a guessing game as to when it was necessary to change the diaper. We always changed the diaper when dirty. When it was wet, we estimated how full it was, without trying to test the limits. We'd rather change a few more diapers than deal with leaks. I guess if you pushed the diapers closer to the limit, it could decrease the numbers but you risk a diaper rash and an uncomfortable baby (good diaper cream is expensive). The jump in month 12 is due to a nasty norovirus that went through the daycare. It hit children, staff, AND parents. Don't ask... Fun data points: 18 - Most diapers changed in a day. That was when the baby was 4 days old. We were then informed by the pediatrician that we could perhaps try relaxing a bit and change the diapers less frequently. 14 - Most diapers changed in a day after we realized there is no need to change it that frequently. That was in the period when baby got norovirus and there were many dirty diapers. 2246 - Wet only diapers 1103 - Dirty/Mixed diapers Diapers cost There are many different brands for every budget. We stuck to Huggies from the beginning because these worked the best for us. You can look for deals on big sizes on ebay, use subscribe and save on amazon, stock up on black friday, prime day, etc, buying for weeks/months ahead. Based on our estimated, a blended cost of one diaper in this time was around 27 cents, or $0.27. Using that for calculation, this is what I get: Diaper cost by month Total cost is $904 for 14 months. Total Cost - Formula, milk, and diapers Between formula, milk, and diapers, it all comes down to about $3812 for the first 14 months. That does not include wipes, diaper cream, lotions, body wash, clothes, any other foods like purees, finger foods, and a lot of other things. Please remember this is just one data point for one baby on one type of milk and one kind of diapers. The cost of diapers can easily double if you go for something fancy like Coterie. This kind of tracking isn’t for everyone. But for me? It helped turn chaos into clarity. I've always liked tracking various data points in my life and although it wasn't always easy, my wife and I stuck to logging everything all this time for our baby. We have a 2nd baby on the way and we're planning to track its numbers for comparison so expect me back in some time! Has anyone else done something similar? Have you arrived at similar numbers? Does this look to be in line with your experience? Hope you guys find it helpful! TL;DR It was about $3800 for diapers, formula, and milk for the first 14 months. submitted by /u/SiphonicHippo43 to r/daddit [link] [comments]

Are the newer Huggie ads kind of creepy?
Not sure if it's just me, but a lot of the New ads feel like they're supposed to appeal to pedos. There's no need to zoom into the child's but, that dosent tell me how affective this is. Nothing in the ads really shows me how well these diapers work. They're just really off to me. submitted by /u/Raynest00rm to r/questions [link] [comments]

AITA for telling my sister the truth?
Throw away account since she has reddit. I (25f) took my sister (16) to coffee on friday, to catch up and spend time together. All was well until she began telling me how much she hated "spending time" with me as a kid. She exclaimed how all that I cooked her was Kraft Dinner (box mac n cheese) every day and that she hates it now. She added about how I was "so bossy" and never played with her etc.The initial remark was whatever, but the constant poking fun at me really got to me and I corrected her.I told her that I was 9 years old when she was born and I had to take care of her because my mom didn't come home every night. I told her that I was 10 years old trying to figure out how to change diapers from reading the huggies box. how I was cooking her KD every day because I was 11 and she was hungry.My mom had a really bad addiction problem and we were taken away when I was 14 and my sister was 5 and both given to our dads (we have different ones) , they never told her the details so it was only her memory and it was so hard for me. I had been raising her for 5 years and I felt like she was my own. I told her that I'm sorry I did a poor job raising her and no, it wasn't fun or enjoyable, but I was just a kid too. Part of me didn't wanna shatter whatever childlike memory she had about our lives together, but it was too much to carry and to also be made fun of for it.She was super nice about it and honestly, we bonded a lot since then and actually talk again. I found that her stepmother had been lying to her about contacting me to see her and telling her I don't reply. (I've never been contacted to see my sister) She said she was confused by her memories but it made more sense now and that she loved me.Two days later, our mom (who is 5 years sober now) called me screaming about how I got my SISTER taken from her because I was jealous she got more attention and I was trying to ruin my mother's life. I told her that I'm not the one who called CPS, my sister's father was, and she just kept screaming and saying that I had no right to "dump that on your sister" (She has custody of my sister again just this year) Am I the asshole for "outing" how terrible our childhood was? I would have loved for my sister to not be hurt or affected by it, but I couldn't bare the blame I was getting. Was it selfish? I thought she'd be old enough to here the gist of it. submitted by /u/Nervous_Marzipan_537 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

AITA for ruining my brother and his wife's pregnancy news with the news of my recent diagnosis?
Bit of backstory, my brother and I are very close, his wife and I not so much, we've had our fair share of tension. Anyway I fell sick in the middle of may, but held off getting checked out because of covid and safety reasons. Eventually when June started I decided to go check it out, turns out it was stage 2 breast cancer. I decided to tell my family 2 days ago since lockdown laws have been lifted, so I invited everyone over and when I told my brother and his wife he said okay that's fine because he has news to share too. So our family gathered and my brother decided to go first (he did ask me) and he announced that his wife is 4 months pregnant. Of course everyone was overjoyed. After about an hour they asked about my news, and I knew this was probably the last time in a long while before I had everyone here in person, so I told them. And of course the initial joyous atmosphere was gone. The rest of the evening was a lot of support for me and not a lot of attention on my brother and his wife. My brother didnt seem to mind this, as he was quite distraught with my news, but I saw his wife pretty upset and cornered off. So I decided to approach her, and I apologized for the timing of it all. She told me I could have waited a bit and skyped everyone with the news, as it's just stage 2, and let my brother and her have this moment with their family. I told her I initially called this meeting for this exact reason and she said she knows but I knew my news would damper everyone's mood. So I told her shes being ridiculous and I wanted to tell my family in person, since they are my family after all. And she burst in tears and demanded to go home, which my brother obliged to even though he was confused. He promised he would come see me soon since he stays close by to me. Later that evening I get a message from him asking if I told his wife that she isnt part of the family and that I deliberately wanted the attention on me, because that's what shes upset about. Also the next day my parents called me to check up on me and my mom mentioned that my brothers wife called yesterday evening really upset telling them what "I said" and claiming I'm jealous because shes pregnant and I'm trying to ruin her life. I told my parents what actually happened and what i really said and its caused not only tension between his wife and me, but my parents and her too, and now shes also blaming me for my parents not being her biggest fans. My brother is torn but has been trying to talk to her, which results in more tears and a strain in their marriage. All this drama is making me think that I should have just called up everyone rather, or just told my brother that his news had to wait, even though that would have been selfish of me. I really wanted my family's support that day, but I'm starting to rethink whether it was worth all this drama and potentially causing further problems. So reddit, AITA? EDIT: Wow I didnt expect this to get so so much lovely feedback, and to think I was slightly scared to post this, thank you all for the unnerving support, love and huggies. I read (and still reading) every single comment made and I really really appreciate it. I will most definitely fight through. Thank you all so much. Just wanted to add a few points: When brother told me he had news too he was really super excited and added it as a just by the way I'll announce mine too, he did apologize and admit afterwards if he had known what my news was he would have held off his, because right now what's important is my recovery. He also admitted he wrongfully assumed that my news would automatically be good (I'm usually always the happy chirpy one). His wife wasn't too fond of this either. Brothers wife also had a miscarriage beginning of the year, which is why this pregnancy I suppose was extra special. I'm truly happy for them, I just wish she could understand (like one user pointed out) that this isnt a competition. I dont know why I couldn't tell him over the phone, we are really close and I knew it would have crushed him, I couldn't steal him away at the gathering either because he was the last to arrive, and when he did he just quickly mentioned "Hey OP mind if I go first" and I was frozen on the spot so I said sure. Also pretty silly on my part. It's hard to explain that feeling where you absolutely frozen and theres a big lump in your throat that prevents you from speaking, but saying the news in the first place was really difficult to begin with. Edit edit: Just another point to clarify, I'm not a saint, but my brother does mean a heck of a lot to me. It's exactly why his wife and I cleared the air between us before, because I wouldn't deliberately make his life hell by pissing her off. Hence why when I saw she was upset I approached her. And when she told me I could have skyped i responded with I wanted to tell them in person since they my family and they would probably want to be there with me when I broke the news, I never once implied she wasn't a part of it. My brother and parents know this. submitted by /u/RA199299 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
