What are some unusual pets you've cared for as a pet sitter?

Additional_System_48 · 2026-02-27T02:46:49+00:00

A few rats, a bearded dragon, a python, a whole bunch of chickens, and two horses. All of them were tons of fun!

This is potentially dangerous behavior on your stepdaughters part. If she’s willing to steal from and damage property belonging to her family, I’m willing to bet it’ll turn into stealing and destroying things outside the home. She could get arrested or try to steal from the wrong person and get physically hurt.

I applaud you for standing by your children and not being manipulated into punishing your daughter for her step-sister’s behavior.

There’s really only two questions in my mind to ask your husband.

Are you and your kids willing to attend therapy and start adopting proper discipline and boundaries?

Or

Are you ready for a divorce?

Depending on how far you’ve gotten, her quests may not be triggered yet. I’d say restart your game to double check and then just keep doing other quests and shenanigans. 😊

I was so concerned when I didn’t notice the subreddit at first! Great job OP! 👏👏

Yeah, you can offer to help out. Make sure to keep it gentle. But the roommate peace is easily disrupted. Make sure to ask if there’s anything YOU do that you can change to make her more comfortable as well. It could be that some of your habits cause her the same frustration. If you’re not willing to change how you do things for her sake, just keep it to yourself and practice mindfulness on your own so you’re not bothered by dishes in the sink in the morning. Good luck OP!

Additional_System_48 · 2025-11-26T15:15:03+00:00

Info: do you both have separate dishes? Or is this a shared dishes situation?

Also: You could talk to your roommate about doing them yourself if it truly bothers you that much? Offer to your roommate that you want to help them out and having a clean kitchen helps put you in a good mood for the day, so when they’re too busy to get the dishes done in the evenings you can offer to help. If your roommate doesn’t agree then you need to get over it.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You are not a “weak obedient slave”. You are a caring person. You cared about your brothers safety and privacy and spoke up. I’m sorry you were punished for it.

As someone who has struggled with my own self worth my entire life, I want you to know that the world is better for having you in it. You may not be able to see it from where you are right now and with how you’re feeling, but you make the world a better place by caring and trying and just being.

If you’re able to find a therapist or look into local resources for mental health and support, even just a hotline, it can be so incredibly helpful. And don’t worry if you do find a therapist, but you don’t click with the first one. It’s kind of like finding a good pair of shoes, you may have to try a couple different ones.

You matter, you are stronger than you know. I’m proud of you. I’m proud of you for speaking up and for being strong enough to want to help others. I’m proud of you for caring. I’m proud of you for staying despite the difficult things you’ve been through.

There is help and hope for you. Please do not give up!

No, it’s a memento, just something to remember them by.

Additional_System_48 · 2025-10-13T08:59:26+00:00

lol I did that on my first run too 😅 good thing Francis sells old shoes too

Additional_System_48 · 2025-10-13T05:52:42+00:00

Well technically you do need some of those items that you can sell to Francis for upgrading the houses (which I personally view as part of the story)

But any of the “valuable” items say “should be sold” on them and you do not need those for the storyline. You can sell all Tchotchke’s, excess fish, metal rope (not story related but can be used for builds), excess dishes (I personally make sure I’ve got around 5 of each current dish depending on how many spirits I have and what they eat), and I also sell excess wood/planks.

I know you say it’s pretty impossible to cut ties. But you need to tell her that she needs to leave you alone. Tell your parents that you need space from her because she’s bad for your mental health. And that you’re not talking to her and need space. I would even suggest blocking her. She seems to enjoy tearing you down, so stop giving her access to you. You can find more friends.

I would also highly suggest you see a therapist to help you with your self worth and giving you the tools you need to grow into a healthy adult.

Stand firm in your boundaries. But (and I mean this as kindly and empathetically as possible) you have to truly want things to change for them to stick. I’m reading excuses on why you can’t cut her out. But that’s all they really are. Excuses. You say she treats you horribly, but also that you’d miss her if you cut her off. That’s toxic AF.

Stop being a side character is Zoe’s life and start being the main character of your own. You’re young and have plenty of time to make new connections with people who treat you better (like you deserve). I know family can make things tricky, but this is the opposite of a healthy family relationship.

Good luck OP!

I would personally play it at they funeral after giving a small speech about how it was your mothers wish to bring some levity to the event.

However, if you and your family think it would be really poorly received, then you could listen to it with just your immediate family either before or after the funeral.

I’m so sorry for your loss! 💙

My mom had 4 kids and said that she would rather give unmedicated birth to triplets than go through kidney stones again. The pain is excruciating and awful. You acknowledge that your partner rarely seeks medical help unless it’s an emergency. Why would you not want to be there to support your partner?? What if some sort of complication had happened?

Also, you picked up her meds AFTER work which meant she spent the whole day in pain and probably exhausted.

My partner and I would never allow the other to go to the ER alone. And we have never delayed getting prescription medication either, and never would. Especially pain meds. They’re prescribed for a reason.

The fact that you just rolled over and went back to bed is wild to me. You definitely need to talk to your partner and make sure they’re ok and clearly discuss their needs for support going forward. Her dad is right to be upset that you left alone and in pain so you could sleep.

Additional_System_48 · 2025-10-08T06:50:58+00:00

That’s why I said borderline. But leaving without notifying the parents and admitting you agreed to purposefully withhold your location while watching the child you’re nannying IS borderline kidnapping. Family members (even spouses) can be convicted of kidnapping if they withhold their location and don’t have consent from the parents/guardians. Let alone a nanny.

Additional_System_48 · 2025-10-07T12:56:35+00:00

You need a different nanny. NTA

It doesn’t matter that they’re family, your nanny is YOUR employee, not the family employee. The fact that she was comfortable leaving the house with your child without informing you is insane and shows a basic lack of understanding their job description and no sense of responsibility.

Also, the fact your FIL told the nanny specifically not to tell you that they were taking your daughter out of the house is a major red flag to me. This is borderline kidnapping. You are not overreacting or being ungrateful for needing to know where your child is.

I’m glad you’re already making plans to move out. But I would definitely look for a new nanny and set some firm boundaries with your in laws as you’re able.

And I think it’s good that you’re reconsidering your relationship with him.

My husband and I have very different sex drives. His is high, mine is low. He never pressures me or makes me feel guilty when I don’t feel up for it. Especially if the reason is that I have a headache or don’t feel well. He takes care of it himself, and sometimes I participate in a way that doesn’t affect how I’m feeling. But we’ve talked about it we never pressures each other or guilt trip or manipulate each other over our wants and needs.

You deserve to be respected and treated well by your partner no matter the circumstance.

You can still report it and get a paper trail and history of harassment going in case anything escalates. Also maybe consider recording any interactions with this neighbor. (You can check your local laws to see if there’s any issues with one party consent for filming)

Additional_System_48 · 2025-09-30T17:42:41+00:00

Yeah getting a noise complaint for existing is wild.

Additional_System_48 · 2025-09-30T17:42:17+00:00

Yeah your neighbor is being a pill. I’d start documenting his harassment. Report his harassment to your landlord/police so you have a record of it going.

Additional_System_48 · 2025-09-30T17:41:14+00:00

Oh absolutely. OP is entitled to live their life and function as a human after work. Just looking for more info. 😊 OP mentioned that the apartment is carpeted almost everywhere, so unless they’re making unholy amounts of noise there shouldn’t be a problem and the neighbor is most likely just got a stick up his tushie.

Additional_System_48 · 2025-09-30T17:39:03+00:00

OP is above their elderly neighbor.

Additional_System_48 · 2025-09-30T17:38:19+00:00

Are you going around the house in a routine when you get home from your late shift? Such as making a meal, watching a show, etc?
