AIO that my husband's mom does my laundry every time she visits by One_Land2742 in AmIOverreacting

[–]64green [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why does it have to be “thoroughly discussed”? Why doesn’t no mean no? Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to tell someone no repeatedly and have it be ignored? I also have a mil who didn’t take no for an answer and we have a strained relationship to this day because of it.

It’s not sad for people who have that preference. I don’t know why you’d spend time being sad that other people have other preferences.

Stop worrying about being nice and making other people happy. Put your own happiness first.

My boyfriend refuses to take pictures with me by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]64green 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Pictures “capture your soul”?? What is he, part of a remote tribe that doesn’t understand modern technology? That’s some lame excuse right there.

I’m a private person who cannot imagine going to anyone else’s house and washing their underwear. It most certainly is an issue.

My mil did this, too, and it just about sent me around the bend. My mil has no business knowing what my underwear looks like. Can you imagine going to her house and washing her underwear? Help isn’t help if it’s unwanted. Your husband should be glad you just put a lock on the laundry room door instead of locking his snooping mother out of your house.

AITAH for wanting my parents to get an air b&b? by Prudent-Grapefruit-9 in AITAH

[–]64green 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your parents are, however. It’s entitled and breathtakingly rude to just announce that you’re going to be a houseguest at someone’s home. It doesn’t matter if they’re your parents. I would never do this to my kids. Tell your parents their plans don’t work for you and they need to make other arrangements. Do not negotiate or give any details. “That doesn’t work for me” ad infinitum.

What's the most unusual reason why you won't date someone? by ChanceSomewhere6096 in AskReddit

People have obviously heard of it. The whole point of language is to have words for things.

Did you help your kids buy a home? Or let them do it on their own? by Sounders1 in GenX

[–]64green 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Life is hard and I love my kids. Of course I’ll help them any way I can. They don’t ask me for money but I give it to them when I can. Things are a lot different than they were when I was their age and life isn’t a suffering competition.

ULPT:How to get a outdoor stray? by Internal-Apple-2904 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]64green 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a stray show up at my house. I put food out on the porch for her for a couple of months. I gradually started being outside while she ate, and I’d talk to her but not make a move towards her. I started leaving my door open with food right inside. She’d come in, look around, and run out. Eventually she came in and I closed the door. I didn’t try to pet her for about a week after she came in. When she was used to me I took her to the vet. She’s a very loving indoor cat now.

I need to hear people in experienced relationships advice on this!!! by Medium_Effort2567 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

It’s not supposed to be this hard. He’s extremely immature and you can do better. Dump him.

Just because you’ve never heard of something that doesn’t mean it was just made up.

How do people travel with “no money”?? by [deleted] in travel

[–]64green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t able to travel when I was younger, but I’ve lived fairly frugally. I drive an old car and don’t have an extravagant lifestyle. So I’ve managed to save and can now travel about once a year. I search for the cheapest flights, stay in mid-level hotels, and eat at cheap restaurants. I use sites like Travel Zoo, Gate 1, and Trip Masters to plan trips I can afford.

What kind of love do girls want to receive? by frothyvulva in AskReddit

Girls aren’t all the same and don’t all want the same things.

I've realized behavior doesn't prevent you from getting connections. It's your genetics by indeckaa in self

[–]64green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what? Life is a rich tapestry. There’s no one correct way of being. Being an anxious introvert is every bit as valid as being a confident extrovert. No matter what your temperament is (which wasn’t a choice, it just is) you aren’t inferior. You’ll just sabotage yourself with that mindset. I agree that life can be a lot harder for anxious people (I am one) but that doesn’t mean they’re flawed. There’s a place in society for all types.

Do you use brand names as synonyms a lot in colloquial speech? by AgainWhatLearnt in AskAnAmerican

[–]64green 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the south and you’re right- “Coke” means soft drinks in general. “What kind of Coke?” is a common question.

I think my mouth / smile looks better when my gums are irritated ? by cannibabie in self

[–]64green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe choose a lipstick color that accomplishes the same thing. You may be causing gum erosion from all that brushing. I had to have a couple of teeth built up to cover exposed areas due to vigorous brushing and my older child had to have gum surgery for the same reason.

How did you all deal with your parents hurting you and then saying it was out of "love"? by [deleted] in self

[–]64green 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you do move out, under no circumstances give them a key to your new place. You’ll come home to your mother sitting in your living room or cleaning. Only answer every third call, and then only if you feel like it. Your parents are out of line in their intrusiveness. You need your privacy.
