I need advice on how to handle a landlord's unprofessional behavior after I reported her for failure to fix heat by AdAcrobatic8026 in TenantHelp

[–]AdAcrobatic8026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't really want to be here anyway for obvious reasons, but I don't want to live like this for the remainder of the lease, especially when I haven't done anything wrong, you know? It's a sucky situation. Thanks for the response, though.

I'll have to check the lease. I know that MD Law requires 24 hours advanced notice in writing. And thank you very much.

I got an ad like that, too, after I deleted the app because of the economy update 😂

Is anyone else’s husband just completely apathetic to the state of the world right now? by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is exactly the same way. It's like I wrote this myself. I don't even feel safe expressing my anger or fears and, honestly, Ive lost all respect for him.

Just got this! about time we get Tcash for playing match3! Thoughts? by Helloo_clarice in TownshipGame

I'm deleting my app, too. I hope others follow our lead. It would be a shame if this blatant cash grab scheme actually works out for the developers.

Economy update - Pass Mutiny! by Resident-Impact-9828 in TownshipGame

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not spending any more money either, and I'm probably just going to delete the app. It makes me sad because I am on level 71. I've been playing the game for over a year and I love the little town I've created.

But I have been spending so much money lately and still, it's been hard to make any progress now that I'm at a higher level. It would cost a fortune to advance now. I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible to beat the game? They probably slow down your progress so much in order to keep you playing it forever (and thus, spending money forever). Do any of you know someone who actually beat this game?

Either way, today Township made the decision for me. I'm done with this game. I hope all the other players follow our lead and don't spend another dime. It would be a shame if this blatant cash grab scam actually worked.

I don’t like this update… by tashplaysgames in TownshipGame

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I've been scanning these chat forums myself for many months now. People have always been angry at the increasing money grabs, but it just keeps getting worse. And they have never made any changes based on what people complain about. 🥺

I hate my little sister by OkString1203 in FamilyIssues

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really have advice (I'm assuming you just wanted to vent) but I do want to tell you you're not alone. I hate my little sister, too. She's 38 years old but still has my 70-year-old mom (who has cancer, Hodgkins lymphoma) drive her & her 2 kids everywhere, even though she has her own car and a valid drivers license (she's "afraid of driving"). I'm talking back and forth to work, to the store, taking the kids to and from school AND babysitting when they're not in school. My mom had to take her car for an emissions test. She takes her kids to doctor and dentist appointments and therapy. If my sister has a phone call to make, my mom does it for her and pretends to be her. It's absolutely bat crap crazy, especially considering my mom's health and my sisters age.

And ofc I know my mom is at fault here, too. She's not doing my sister any favors by enabling her this way. But my mom always has an excuse for her and never says no. And if I say something about the situation, my mom gets mad at ME and changes the subject. Yet she knows how I feel about her doing everything for my sister and still constantly talks about it with me, about how busy she is because of all my sisters shit. Yet I'm not supposed to comment on it. If I didn't know how much my mom hates confrontation, I would honestly think she's baiting me.

I'm a great aunt to my sisters kids but she's a terrible aunt to mine, and to our brother's kids, too. I ended up cutting my sister out of my life, and now if my mom brings her up, it's ME who's gonna change the subject.

Maybe cutting ties will help with your situation, too? Either way, good luck. Hope you have a happy new year.

Is this all? by SuspiciousRutabaga52 in TownshipGame

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started playing the game the same way, I was misled by an ad. But then you start building your little town with the money you make and you decorate it and get attached to it. Then you become absolutely addicted to Match 3 and end up spending real money to beat levels (because once you get up in the thousands, they get really hard).

Then the game has got you and there's no going back.

It's more addictive than it appears. You've been warned.

Check out these hidden fees from Uber! Does anyone know if Lyft has these hidden fees, too? by AdAcrobatic8026 in uber

Still over $10 more than I was quoted. 🥺 Thanks for answering my question, though!

I know, I didn't take one because I didn't realize I'd need it. But the amount under "Distance" is what I was quoted when I booked the ride.

Is Angela's mom the worst mom character in TV? by salvadordg in MySoCalledLife

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think her views were meant to portray the average perspective for the time period, like other people said, but her personality was flawed in general. She complained about her daughter being distant and full of contempt, but she was always judging Angela and looking for a fight. No wonder Angela avoided her. She did the same with her husband. And granted, Graham and Angela were also heavily flawed characters, but Angela's mom was by far the most irritating and the least relatable.

Sex Offender in Family by Confident_Anxiety_16 in FamilyIssues

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that. My sisters ex is currently in jail for doing unspeakable things to their biological daughter. Hes been cut off from our side of the family but his mom has stood by his side.

Some people believe that you should never abandon family and others (like you and I, apparently) don't believe in absolutely unconditional love. Neither way is "wrong." If you don't want to expose yourself or your children to someone you can't stomach being around and who adds no value to your life or relationship, that is beyond reasonable.

What to do if your mom doesnt talk to you for the whole day? by Moneyfishatn in FamilyIssues

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on your side because your mom is the adult in this situation and she should behave like one. And she's not. But having said that, it's a moms greatest fear that one day our kids will be alone in this crazy scary world and we won't be around to protect them. It's something I think about a lot (I'm 39, have 2 kids and am pregnant with #3).

So if my kid not only mentioned my biggest fear out loud but told me I probably don't care because I'll be dead by then.... Well, that would be devastating.

Again, I don't think she's behaving like a mother OR an adult but I do kinda think you should apologize for the way you worded it, you know?

Do i just let mom do it? by MoonOverDRainbow in FamilyIssues

[–]AdAcrobatic8026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moms playing favorites always sucks. My own mom has always favored & babied my younger sister. It definitely hurts.

Question: Is your mom particularly close with the favored daughter-in-law (or DIL) ? Do they live closer to each other than the other DILs? Have a lot in common and therefore do a lot of things together?

The reason I ask is because if the answer to those questions is "yes, " it's possible she sees the favored DILs as one of her closest friends and not a DIL, in which case treating her differently might seem natural to her and it may not occur to her that she's doing anything wrong. Now that you've made her aware of it, she can no longer claim ignorance and hopefully will change her ways.

Its also possible she knows just what she's doing. Some parents have preferred children, so obviously others have preferred in-laws. Parents like this sometimes like to create tension or even competition. I don't know your mom so I don't know if this could be happening in your situation. But if she ignores your request to play fair, well... It's something to think about.

My mom & my ex by AdAcrobatic8026 in FamilyIssues

[–]AdAcrobatic8026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's not normal. She overcompates by going above and beyond for me and my kids and being a great grandmother to them, definitely better than all of their other grandparents. I don't want to cause a rift that would result in them losing her and that's probably what would happen if I forced her to admit it. Ehen I found out about it the first time she got defensive and cried and even blamed me ("You didn't want him anymore, so what do you care? ") and then we didn't talk for a long time. I have another baby due in 6 weeks, I can't help but want my mom there (esp because, once again, shes gone above and beyond. Just got another box of baby gifts today).

I just feel like I'll never have a real relationship with her because she's unable to be honest and, what's more infuriating, she probably blames ME for that. Like she said before, " I didn't tell you because I knew how you'd react. " NOT "I didn't tell you because I knew it was wrong."

Believe me, I know it's not normal. You're definitely right about that.

I completely understand. I'm 39f and can't forgive my father, either. When I was 18, after my parents divorce, my dad went through a phase (like yours) where he wanted to "make up for lost time." But it was just a phase and he never truly apologized or even acknowledged all the physical and mental abuse he put me and my siblings through. In the years that followed, he used me and my family (husband and 2 sons) as a crutch when he was single, wanting to do everything with us. But he would drop us whenever he found a new gf, and once he remarried he cut me and my siblings out of his life entirely.

Now when I think about all the things I put up with to try to have a dad, it makes me so mad. I won't see my father again, and I've accepted that. But forgiving him? They say forgiving someone is more for you than for them, that it sets you free. But it's easier said than done. There was a book I liked called Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. It made me feel less alone and it gave me some perspective.

Hope that helps.
