RelationshipI’m a successful software engineer and I dropped out my senior year because I had a good job opportunity that paid 6 figures. I’ve always been a bit self conscious about it because I live somewhere where people go to work after graduating from Ivy League schools. Not finishing college has never stopped me from getting a good job. Anyways my gf has a professional degree and she always just a...
OtherMy (36) brother (30) got married this past weekend. I was supposed to be his best man. The wedding was 12+ because they didn't want to have to deal with toddlers and such, which is fair enough. A lot of guests do have young kids though, so they decided to have a venue nearby with a professional sitter if parents wanted to drop kids off there. My wife has some injuries that make her slow to r...
OtherI 24f have my own apartment. My fiancé is deployed and I have a 1 year old son. My younger sister Ella18 lives with me. She pays no rent, and goes to the nearby college. She has no job and I financially support her since she is in school. Our parents live 3 hours away so it was a better fit. I work 5 days a week, and my son is in daycare. I got called in on a Sat**day (I’m off weekends and ...
OtherMy 16 year old son was catfishing people on the internet for petty cash (10-50 dollars per person.). I couldn’t believe it. I don’t know how I screwed up as a parent this badly to fail to instill in him that this is wrong and morally depraved behavior. I asked why he’d do this to innocent people, mostly elderly people, and he said he needed money to buy things we wouldn’t buy him (video gami...
OtherDue to financial challenges I am currently broke right now. This coincided with my sister in law’s baby shower. It’s the first baby born to any of my siblings so it’s a big to do. I had money set aside but had to use it to cover some unexpected expenses that came up with my car. By the time I got things sorted and got around to the registry, the smaller items were gone and all that was left we...
OtherMy GF and I have been together for nearly 2 years now. We get along great and already have moved in with each other. I am a pretty laid back guy and like to "go with the flow", whilst she is very organised and likes to take charge, which works very well for us because we are always pulling in the same direction because our personalities match up well! A couple of months or so ago we were having...
WorkMy best friend, Tom's daughter Kate is an architecture major. She got accepted to a college in California and graduated with good results. My daughter Anne also went into architecture and she's doing well. Anne is generally a quieter person and she does tend to laze around a bit. Both Anne and Kate applied for a job at the same firm, which is co-owned by Tom's brother. She didn't end up get...
ParentingMyself (27M) and my wife (27F) are having a boy, we already have a girl who is now 2. My wife is really into films, oscar type films and she is like an a**lyser when watching them so she wanted to make a gender reveal short film, 10 minutes long to say we're having a girl, kind of weird but I went along with it, we posted it and she was super happy with it but it cost so much, she hired expensive ...
RelationshipI hadn’t seen my husband in a month as I was staying with my sister. He promised he would pick me up from the airport and we would spend time together but he sent his brother instead. I was upset even though my brother-in-law told me som**hing came up which is why he was there instead. I asked him if we could go and get ice cream before we went home. He didn’t seem to want to go but I suggeste...
RelationshipEvery year my family spends our Christmas in Hawaii. We’ve done it every year since I can remember and it’s a fun family tradition for me. After me and my husband had kids we had to reorganize our family Christmas plans because his parents wanted to see our kids for Christmas, so we decided that we would celebrate Christmas with his parents on New Years and go to Hawaii for actual Christmas. Th...
RelationshipI f25 married my husband m31 3 years ago. I'm currently pr****nt with our first baby together. We found out it's a girl and my inlaws wanted to invite us for dinner for "gender reveal announcement and celebration". We got there, saw many relatives coming to congrat us and celebrate. It was bigger than expected which made me nervous because I'm not a fan of being around many people. We sat at...
ParentingI got pr****nt in high school, when I was 17 (I am just turning 30 now). I wanted an abortion and my boyfriend begged, begged, begged, guilted, begged me to carry the fetus to term and that he would raise the baby himself. He involved his parents, who involved my parents, and since my parents were against abortion, they agreed on my behalf that this is what would happen. I was naive at the ...
