OtherThis is an ongoing situation, and I am currently writing this as my niece is having a full-on meltdown. Today was my day off and I decided to whip up a batch of pot cookies (cookies that have w**d extract in them) so I can snack on them for the weekend. After they finish baking, I left them out on a cooling tray so they can set. Just as I finished cleaning up the kitchen, I hear the doorbell a...
RelationshipOk, so my wife (27F) has a habit of putting notes (affirmation) in my (31M) lunch when she packs it. She's been doing it for a year now (it started when I suffered from some issues surrounding employment) and I appreciate it a lot because it gives me strength and renews my energy for the rest of the day. So anyway, my co-workers know about and sometimes would tease me about it calling me a 4th ...
RelationshipSo I (early 20s m) am traveling for work this week and was on a 3 hour flight sitting next to this older white guy, probably in his 50s. For context, I’m Asian, and I was wearing a black KN95 mask just because I had a sore throat and didn’t want to get sick before a big presentation. Right after I sat down, this guy looked at me and said som**hing like, “Still wearing those things, huh?” I just...
RelationshipI am a 27F attorney, dating a 33M programmer. He's constantly late for things and has always had problems with keeping track of time. There have been times when we have made plans for a date and he would just go missing in action for hours, only to respond after he was already late. Given how hectic my work schedule is, I try really hard to set time for him on the weekends and he has often 1. ...
OtherI'm an ex h***in addict. The why and how isn't important, but I got hooked at 15, tried to get clean at 17 but relapsed hard, finally got my act together and got off it for good at 21. I'm 26 now and completely clean. I don't even drink, except for on special occasions where I'll have two or three drinks at most. Now, my older brother and his wife have been together since shortly before I h...
OtherMy (29f) brother (31m) and his wife (34f) got married two months ago, they had a destination wedding. Unfortunately none of our side expect a cousin could attend due to multiple valid reasons which I list a short few: - grandparents (95f,98f,89m) = too old - our parents= mom has b***st cancer and my dad takes full care of her - me and our youngest brothers gf = heavily pr****nt/newborn ...
ParentingI have five kids with my now ex-wife, (7F), (5F), (2M and 2M), and a seven month old baby boy. When my ex was pr****nt with the baby, she decided that she didn't want to be involved with me or the kids anymore, so she divorced me and signed all her rights away. The only reason that I know she's still alive is the child support checks that I get. My kids are obviously still upset over their ...
OtherMy daughter 21 gets off at work at 4 am, she usually stays up until lunch time and then sleeps until she goes to work. She works night shift, my son is 17 and still in highschool. I’m at work when she is sleeping but my son was home for the summer and he would wake her up to make him food. He would pester her until she did it so she could go back to sleep. It came to a head a month ago where my...
OtherQuick backstory, my bio dad d*ed when I was young and my mom remarried when my sister was 8 and I was 10. We are now in our late 20s. Stepdad focused a lot of his time providing for us so I never got close to him but I am grateful for him. I am engaged and my sister is going to marry in about a month. My wedding will be in a year. Both of us are close to our mom though. My sister who I will...
OtherI have two daughters in high school. Sam is an A student and Emma is a B and C student. Sam has basically been making fun of Emma for her lower grades. We punish her when it happens but she goes back to it every time. Now the difference between the two girls is that Sam takes the general cla*ses where Emma takes the college cla*ses. For example, Sam took biology as her science and Emma took col...
OtherOn a road trip last week, my girlfriend and I stopped at a rural diner for brunch. We sat down and a waitress opened our menus before she put them on the table (that detail is important later). It was a very nice meal honestly. Our total was around $25. I was ready to pay with my debit card. The waitress then told us that this was a cash only es**blishment. Unfortunately I had zero cash on ...
Food & DietI (21f) just moved in with my boyfriend (22m). It's his first time ever living away from home, whereas I spent 3 years living in uni accommodation. We've been together for 4 years. I've been vegan since I was about 15, he eats meat, and it's never been an issue between us at all. I have never cooked him meat or dairy products, because he is capable of putting things in the oven or microwave, a...
