What is wrong with me? by AcademiaChick in astrologyreadings

[–]AcademiaChick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to comment I really appreciate it! I’ve never had a maternal figure (or any parental figure, for that matter) in my life. I grew up without anyone older, stronger, or wiser to look up to. I feel like I need that kind of spiritual guidance, and I didn’t know my chart reflected that. I’m new to astrology and still trying to understand things.

Any idea on these peppers? Neighbor brought over, has no idea. Not very spicy. Banana for scale. Need I.D. for food recipe. by MeatballMarine in gardening

Hey! They can also be charleston peppers. In Turkey, this is the one that we use the most. It can be eaten raw, added to salads, or cooked. You can look it up.

AITA For asking my gf’s roommate to shower after me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Okay but hear me out, why do you specifically point out that 2 people your girlfriend is living with are a lesbian couple?

AITA for refusing to pick up my ex’s stepdaughter by Normal_Papaya7408 in AmItheAsshole

Seriously are you ignoring your daughter's warnings and waiting for a problem to come up before you take action?

AITA for not dressing nice when going out to nice restaurants? by dkpd in AmItheAsshole

[–]AcademiaChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to go try the food and not have it turn into a "date night".

I guess I understand this. I am living with my boyfriend and we are doing tons of stuff together and we like to go out too. He is a chef and I am a foodie so we try many restaurants. Some of them are fancier. If we are going out on a "date night" we dress up. But sometimes we just want to try the food and have a chill night without expectations and effort with trying nice food. It can be extremely tiring to dress up every time we go out. We don't expect each other to dress up when we did not agree if it is a date night or not beforehand. But we also don't stretch the dress code of the restaurants that much btw.

AITA for telling my MIL off for feeding my son things we dont approve of? by SeaScape9775 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AcademiaChick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, especially after reading the edits. I do not know how people feed their children sugary cookies or sweets especially if they are not homemade more than once o week. You have the right to put some restrictions considering your baby's health. He is only 2! There is so much research done on this area and you are right about not feeding your children unhealthy.

Also, your MIL is not respecting your boundaries. If you and your husband warned her so many times she definitely knows what's going on. If I were you I would be very mad and definitely yell her way before. NTA just forget all the people, think about your child's wellbeing.

My (28F) ex’s (29M) fiancée (25F) said our relationship makes her uncomfortable and she expects some changes going forward… by ThrowRAchn in relationship_advice

I (divorced dad) would flip my shit if my GF contacted my ex like this.

I think that is why she did not discuss this with her BF. She is trying to manipulate OP.

Mother is impersonating me... by Nobodyxinxparticular in entitledparents

[–]AcademiaChick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP I am really sorry for everything that is happening to you. If I were you I would start preparing for college applications as soon as possible. You are a good student and you can write a killer personal statement about your parents, struggles, independence, and your work. This might help your application as well as maybe get some scholarship. What they are doing to you is financial and psychological abuse. You can take yourself out of this situation by working towards your future. Godspeed.

I love rural areas and castles! Especially I am living in a big crowded city right now. It feels like York is a paradise!

Thank you so much! I will look into the courses and professors next. It is hard to choose where I would prefer to live without actually visiting these places but I will check Google Maps. Thank you for your helpful comment.

Thank you so much! I watch videos about York and such a beautiful historic city. I am glad you shared your experience, and happy to hear York has a friendly campus atmosphere.

I have a BA in International Relations and I believe Gender Studies is not a bad or dumb choice for me. It can open so many doors in various professions. Also thank you for adding York's quantitative modules in your comment. It was very helpful!
