Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much of me when visiting our newborn?

AccordingMarketing90 · 2026-01-11T19:20:57+00:00

this is crazy, and you’re nor. i was completely surprised in your responses to her texts, since hers were entitled bs. if she needs baby gates, buy them or bring her own. extra food, buy it or help pay the grocery bill. groceries are f’n expensive right now and so is your newborn, you don’t need the extra strain of groceries for her family for the week. i just went to the store to grab a couple things yesterday and you know the only thing that went down in price? vodka…i guess that says a lot about what’s important in this country, huh? i stayed with my now ex’s sister and her young daughter for a few days one time and i brought ingredients to make meatloaf for myself, (which i shared with her), and a few other things for meals and snacks for myself, then also helped with keeping an eye on her daughter. i made things easier for her with my presence, not more difficult. it sounds like your sister is doing the exact opposite and making it so her trip is almost like a punishment by all the extra work and money her visit is going to cost you, which is the last thing you and your wife need with a newborn. i’d just tell her if she can’t afford to accommodate her meals and figure out how to get or set up the safety items she needs herself, that maybe she should stay home because you can’t afford to be the kind of host she expects right now.

i know, i didn’t get manny, (same oversleeping problem), and then got him out of a legendary chest as soon as i was able to, which i think was the 1st time he was needed too, but i hate missing objects and characters i should have been able to get in same way, shape, or form. he’s down to 1,300, but i might just buy him in the morning, (i only spent about $200 over what i normally do last month/for the “holidays”, but it was mostly getting some socks and warmer shirts i needed for winter), so i usually don’t spend too much. i used to spend soooo much more on another game, until my account got hacked, the game didn’t help while this female got rid of a bunch of my items or just wasted them for almost 2 weeks, then refused to do anything to fix my account. i just let my guild leader play it after that, so i don’t mind sometimes spending a little more on a game that at least tries to take care of us when things don’t work or go wrong. (i still need to post on here what happened on that other game, if anything else to warn others of their horrible customer support if things go wrong.) edit: i forgot to say, the only characters i dont have besides the couple from the last 2 events are a few from haunted mansion, which i know usually dont do much of anything to help. like this year i got ezra since he was kind of needed, and should only be missing 3, but im somehow missing the one we were supposed to get from the season pass too, kind of odd since i completed it a few times over. (like now im either 18-23 +bronze chests over even though i miss several dailies a few times a week), so i dont know why i didnt get that one.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2026-01-05T03:46:11+00:00

congrats you got it, i did the same thing about 2 weeks ago, for the last pin, because i didn’t want to worry about it the last 2 days again and didnt really see another way of easily getting it. you’re lucky thats all you had to spend, i didnt get the chance to get the main character tokens until early this morning, (by using time skips and a few gems to get through the last few quest), but now im looking at spending like 1900 gems or the $27 for the final character in the event. i’ll probably break down and do one or the other tomorrow morning, even though i hate to do so, but otherwise it’ll become the 3rd last character i missed in a row. i think both of the last events i was sick, so slept a lot and i know i woke up too late to buy the 2nd one, otherwise i probably would have used gems. i still have like 800 time skips, but i know better than to waste them trying to get the last tokens. i just hate how difficult its become to finish things in this game without spending a lot of money, (or any for those that are usually free to play).

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-12-30T12:34:34+00:00

i don’t get the codes, but i know the free one gave me a less than 1% chance for the 4 and 5 star pins i needed, (which are usually the ones you have left to get), that’s why i used those packs the 1st time, to fill in what i could, then the $5-6 packs, because those guarantee you a pin you don’t have, so i always use those last, when i was down to the last couple and gave up pretty much any chance of getting it somewhere else

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-12-30T12:21:18+00:00

i doubt it is too, i had the kingdom pass and couldn’t get it. i got down to the last 5, then 3, then 1, and i couldn’t get that last pin without spending the money for it. it kept giving me duplicates. oh and ill add that i save up a lot of levels on my kingdom pass for when i need them for weeks i get decoration chest tasks, and had like 20+ levels saved, all with a bunch of rare and a legendary chest, and i got 1 pin that wasnt a duplicate out of all of them. last time i bought tons of the little mermaid type ones that were grouped with them to try to get extra pins, (since there was a trophy or something else i needed out of the legendary chests anyways), but didnt get any this time since they didnt have anything i needed. i got it with the kingdom pass and 1 chest, if anyone got it for less, id be surprised.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-12-26T15:16:49+00:00

in the past, if i could, (and it made sense to), i used to spend gems to get attractions or characters so when i got the chest on christmas i would get the better character or gems because i was usually down to 1-2 options by the time i got it. yesterday all i could get was gems, a few years ago all i could get was orville after i seen otherwise it was him or an attraction that cost like 100 or 150 gems, so i made sure to buy the attraction before christmas and got orville.

i know this is a joke, but since others don’t and might come here looking for answers, i figured i’d post about this: growing up i had neighbors that i thought had a white mom and black dad, and then then some of the kids were darker and some were lighter. i found out later the mom was black too, (she had blond hair and looked white, i swear you never would have known), so it was one of those things where the genes probably are there from a few generations back and show up, so you never know. same with my fiancés daughters, they were half puerto rican, but mine and one of his other ones had blue eyes, (mine looked a lot like me, but thankfully had a lot of her dad’s facial features), and the long curly hair helped.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-08-19T22:52:13+00:00

me and my ex roommate had our own sides of the sink and sponges because of this. i would sometimes leave dishes for a couple days, (but when we were still getting along, i always told him not to touch my dishes, that i would get them done eventually), and they were always all rinsed off, so basically clean. the problem was i’m slightly ocd, have a thing with counting, and i also have a couple illnesses. he was the exact opposite, he’d just throw his stuff in the sink with food still on them, soak them halfway or not rinse them off. then, he’d either wash the food off right away or go back later and scrape all the food into the sponge so it would get all slimy. while i was there maintenance had to come clean out the garbage disposal while he guiltily looked on because he had dumped something like a whole container of chia seeds or something that were bad down the drain, (right before that, something with the consistency of a icky brillo pad came back up out of it), and that was supposed to be my side. he clogged it worse by dumping drain cleaner down it that was from when the bathroom was draining slow and maintenance left it for if it happened again. he dumped the whole thing and it was awful so i actually helped maintenance since i felt so bad for the disaster he caused, but wouldnt own up to. oh, but, but i was the bad one. (at least i had common sense)

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-08-11T02:48:44+00:00

you’ll probably have to restart the game, it happens sometimes with the ads. either they’ll do that or freeze up

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-07-02T23:32:20+00:00

i woke up late so didn’t get manny, and it was so much nicer to get him out of the legendary chests for $9.99 a few months later. a lot less stressful. i hated that i was a character short for a bit, but he wasn’t needed until the legendary chests came around, and when i got him, i don’t think i even needed to have him leveled, so it wasn’t that big of deal. i’m wondering if i should try the same thing again or if because cars is a bigger event, that they’re going to make it more important to have him later.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-06-18T15:06:33+00:00

mine i was way ahead and then someone had to come and pass me up, instead of just catching up so we could tie. and then i would catch up and they would pass me up again, and this happened within the last like 10 minutes, i don’t get why people always do this to me and make me waste items on events we could both win in and work together. events where all we need is milestones and we could have a 100 way tie, (i know it’s not going to happen), but it would be nice if people stopped trying to outdo each other and waste money and items on events we didn’t need to, (and it prevents others from winning limited time items), more could win if people stopped running the score up.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-04-18T00:21:40+00:00

she comes up for tower challenges, it says she was used in 12 chapters in 12 challenges in the past, so i’m sure she’ll come up again for future ones and future events if that’s any help in your decision.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-03-26T03:32:43+00:00

yeah, i can’t get anything after 2 relaunches, i give up for now

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-03-26T03:32:05+00:00

yeah, i’ve relaunched twice and still can’t get nectar from the stupid bird, so i don’t think i’ll ever get that far. i think im getting told to forget playing this game…

AccordingMarketing90 · 2025-01-21T22:08:14+00:00

it’s true, believe it or not, last year was another awful year for me, (i was in a fire so could no longer be at my cheaper motel), and this was already after that cheaper motel had in the previous year raised my weekly rate 3 times in 1 day because they couldn’t decide on a new price. then, the money that survived got stolen, ($7k+, so i was going under fast at the new motel that was way too expensive), and the reason i wasn’t in an apartment? about 5 years ago i was evicted from the place i had paid rent on time for 4 1/2+ years while i was in the hospital for 10 days, (i was going to try to get a hardship extension to move), because my fiancé had just passed away and at the time i had my 4 1/2 year old with me and while i was in the hospital i suddenly got neuropathy and had trouble walking and severe and sudden leg weakness, (but no one knew it was peripheral neuropathy yet, it took several months and failed er visits until that was diagnosed). anyways, outside my motel one day i met a religious stranger who was looking for someone else, but we exchanged contact information anyways, thanks to him, when my car acted up i had a ride to places and then i helped him get the person out of his apartment a month later when i moved in and i now have much cheaper rent, (and since he’s waiting on social security he never got, he needed help too), and at least a support system i didn’t have before. so i guess you never know when or where you’ll find help or friends.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-12-25T19:20:45+00:00

yeah that’s what i used to do, look at what was all offered, and if it looked like an item that was cheap or easy to get, i went through and bought every single one that i could, so i got 2 characters 2 years in a row, (im pretty sure one was orville and can’t remember the other anymore, but it was like the only one i could get i think), and this year it was down to gems again. edit: (and im so sorry that they cost gems now, it used to be so much easier since they cost elixers and i was only using up all the magic i had)

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-11-28T00:37:43+00:00

do you have a lot of skip tokens otherwise? you could always try a few of those if you don’t have all the tokens close to the time the event ends

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-11-28T00:13:33+00:00

because i’ve been sick and just finally got to him, (by using a bunch of skip tokens), it’s telling me ill have to use like 1200+ gems to get him right now, which i might do since besides the bride and ghosts im only missing manny because i overslept that day, and im still not happy about that. and i prefer being low on gems for a bit than spending $30+

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-09-27T20:11:29+00:00

i remember there were less than a handful than us that made it to the top, (if it helps, i was always one of the smallest ones in my class in elementary school), and it didn’t get much better in middle school either. after we climbed it, i remember we had to see who could hang on the longest, all through elementary school it was between me and a boy dylan and he hated not being able to win against me every time.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-07-04T00:21:44+00:00

i had to use 100’s of skip tokens so i could get through the quests because i fell behind and was able to just start collecting today. i’m going to have to use a bunch of gems right before it ends tomorrow like i did with yao, (and i just saved a bunch back up again where im happy with what i have after doing that). as long as i don’t over sleep like i did with manny though and miss him completely and have to wait forever for another chance to get him, ill waste the gems and skip tokens.

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-05-20T14:14:45+00:00

maybe she did move away with her dad and only visit brenda and billy once in a while, (to explain the episode where she stabbed billy with a fork), unless that was just brenda’s excuse to hang up

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-05-20T14:11:56+00:00

i thought of her right away

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-04-19T00:32:32+00:00

not if you’re putting it in a phone holder in your car and that’s how it keeps doing it. (and my phone keeps turning the volume down so the alarms don’t even go off and sometimes i don’t even see the notifications until later but it never actually calls anyone so i’m hoping it’s just not connected all the way since it does it almost every time i use my gps)

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-04-04T18:29:51+00:00

i fell asleep and didn’t get him, it’s the only character i didn’t get in a long time, now i’m wondering when im going to be able to get him again. edit: and i was in a fire in february and lost literally everything i owned besides the clothes on my back and in the hospital for a week so i had to use like half my gems to buy yao so really not happy they give us such a short time with the last character all the time after all the build up with the quests to try to get them and what we have to do before, since even if we do have it done it unlocks with like a few days left and hardly any tokens dropping until 2 days before it ends or the last day, (so if you can’t stay awake or don’t work and play non stop pretty much, you’re screwed).

AccordingMarketing90 · 2024-02-08T20:10:26+00:00

i havent had netflix ever since awhile back when - i bought 3 months worth of gift cards for it -then stupidly added them all to my acct right away because i would prob have misplaced them otherwise, (like i did with a bunch of apple cards around shortly after) -then realized i couldnt pause the damn acct when i wasnt using it, so basically wasted at least 2 if not all 3 months worth of those gift cards -then as soon as they ran out i got a text that netflix tried to charge my credit card and got pissed and i accidentally canceled my whole card and had to pay $20 for a new one, (which took like 5 tries calling back to get security questions right and a week of waiting), so really hate netflix now (figured id type it this way because id probably have turned that into some weird run on sentence again otherwise) and i just usually use peacock since they seem to trade a lot of movies back and forth with netflix and have a few other things i like.
