OtherI know the t*tle sounds horrible but I don’t know how else to put it. I am not a very busy person. I don’t start college until September and I don’t have a job, so not much to do. A few weeks ago my friend Alice (22F) came to my door with her daughter Milly (3F) and told me she really needs me. Apparently she had an emergency to attend to and she needed an urgent sitter. She didn’t reall...
OtherSon is in 4th grade. School is only open on Mondays. The rest of the week he is home with me. They dont do virtual learning during the rest of the week. No zoom calls are made. No teacher actually checks in. Homework at home is not to be sent back to the school and instead they get a participation grade the following week if they tell their teacher they completed it. Its backwards and your stu...
OtherI (26M) live in a one-bedroom apartment. I work remotely and I prefer to keep to myself. My younger sister (22F) graduated college a few months ago and moved in with me temporarily while she applies for jobs and gets on her feet since our parents moved south when we both left the house. We’ve always gotten along pretty well. The only thing I made clear when she moved in was that I’m not ...
RelationshipH**lo, me (24F) and husband (36M) have been married for two years. I don't know what came over him, but last week he yelled at me for not picking up his mom's call. I was in the kitchen at the time washing rice and I genuinely didn't hear the call. My husband was in the washroom so he didn't hear it either. She called him three times. Later when he saw the call he got mad at me since I was in ...
Family ConflictThis happened Sat**day. I (17m) was scheduled to work. On Thursday Heather (dad's wife) told me I needed to call out Sat**day because she had a doctors appointment and someone had to babysit my half siblings (3 of them 3 and under). I told her I wasn't calling out and she'd need to find someone else. My dad works Sat**day's and he told me his job was more important than mine and I didn't need ...
OtherI have purging disorder. It's like bulimia but no binge. I'm 25 and started getting help which was hard because everyone a*sociates throwing up with bulimia (or worse "bulemia" and "bullemia") and gets dismissive. I've been purge free for the first time since I was 10. I hadn't been to a dentist since I was 12. Well obviously, my teeth are f**ked. Now when I made the appointment I was clear tha...
OtherWhen I was 8 my mom pa*sed away and my dad remarried my stepmother when I was 11. My stepmother also had two children of her own Erica (11) and Becky (13). Growing up, Erica and Becky made it clear they didn’t consider me their sister and would continuously exclude me. They also recruited their cousins (from their mother’s side) and I was pretty much ostracized by them too so family events wer...
OtherAlright so today was quite traumatic for me. I'm a high school senior (18M) and promposal season is currently in full swing. I was in my AP chem cla*s when suddenly an entourage of people entered my cla*sroom with a disabled girl (she has cerebral palsy) that I know. I first saw the posters and the bouquet of flowers she was holding and thought, "aww that's sweet of her." Then they revealed the...
Family ConflictI (17M) agreed to take wedding photos for my cousin Sarah's (26F) wedding. She wanted me to take photos of her getting ready, our grandmother putting a family heirloom necklace on her, the first look, the wedding, the reception, etc. There was also another photographer (a friend of the groom) who was taking photos of the groom and his side getting ready, and he was also taking photos at the we...
Family ConflictMy (31f) daughter (8F) and my niece (8F) are born 10 days apart. Due to this ever since they were little my SIL (29F) has always pushed for them to have a "shared" birthday party. When the girls were younger (1-4) we used to do shared birthday parties. But my husband and I realized that we were always the ones to foot the bill for everything (food, decorations, location etc.). The girls also w...
OtherI'm Irish. My husband is American. We live in the US currently but met back in Ireland. His sister has always been obsessed with my accent, my name and the fact that her brother married a real Irish person. She and her husband had a very recently, a little girl. My sister in-law excitedly told me ages ago that she was giving her daughter an Irish name and she couldn't wait for me to hear it. ...
Family ConflictWhen I was 13, I was using my dad's phone and I was d**b and very clearly wrong when I opened a text that popped up from my stepmom. She was a few months pr****nt at the time. A few texts up I saw that my dad had sent a text saying: "Alice (my mom) is being a b**ch again. I'm so glad I get to have a baby with someone I actually love." To which my stepmom replied: "And I can't wait to h...
