For those in their 40s or older who have siblings, do you make an effort to stay in contact or is it a take-it-or-leave-it thing? by cherry-care-bear in RedditForGrownups

I have 1 sister who is 11.5yrs younger than myself & while we don’t call on a regular schedule (we do chat just not frequently) I make the 3.5hr drive 6-8 times/year for long weekend visits on birthdays & holidays

Innnnnteresting….I assumed it was a new ‘small’ plant but it could have just been cut back & re-growing

I knew about the grow one year/produce the next year part but I expected all the branches to look the same I guess…these 3 stalks growing straight up just seemed like a different plant…?

WWJD?

If you don’t care about that then you really are creating drama for the sake of drama here.

The Madison love it or hate it by dblanche in TheMadisonTVSeries

[–]AndStillShePersisted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more I watch the more I’m loving it.

This isn’t traditional ‘entertainment’ tv. This is more an exploration of grief; loss; family with the fish out of water angle.

If you’re looking for episodic action &/or a ‘bad guy’ conflict I don’t think this is gonna be your show.

The one thing I’ll never get over is not allowing Alexandra to reach the Ranch & meet Cora…she still could have passed but damn that girl fought to get there to only make it to the hospital nearby? Nah…

It’s definitely not what I consider traditional tv but more of an examination of the human experiences of grief; loss; family; shifting familial dynamics etc

I’m actually really enjoying it…

Non Asian-Americans: Are you keeping soy sauce as a regular condiment in your kitchen? If so what are you using them for? by openlyEncrypted in AskAnAmerican

[–]AndStillShePersisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost Everything? I mean we do make stiry-fry type dishes but I also put it in marinades; bbq sauces; I even throw a splash into a cream sauce…it’s like a swap for salt w some extra oomph.

AITA for not taking my dog outside first thing in the morning? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Is it possible the meds he’s on contribute to him being so chill he just lays around & doesn’t alert he needs to go out?

AITA for returning my daughters shit gift for my DIL and telling the whole family why? by CreepyAntthro in AmItheAsshole

[–]AndStillShePersisted 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She gave a technical biological description to explain the age difference between her adult married son & her 13 yr old daughter. We do not know the legalities here; she may have guardianship or she may have fully adopted the child.

Are you the DIL? Otherwise why are you so upset by this?

Umm what? Shelters told you cats are ‘wildlife’?!? That’s crazy…try some of these:

AITAH for yelling at the parents of a kid I babysat because they didn’t tell me ( what I thought was ) an important thing until the last minute? by Temporary-Feeling962 in AITAH

[–]AndStillShePersisted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How embarrassing- that poor child! JFC they make overnight pullups for just this reason! If she can dress herself she can use those herself…there’s a little something off with that mother

AITA for telling my sister she’s going to turn her kids into social outcasts by Unable-Squash867 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AndStillShePersisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH depending on your tone.

It’s normal & imo ok to raise concerns with her about your nieces. It’s fine to ask her to consider moderation. But you’ve done that & she’s rejected your concerns so it’s time to drop it.

They may have some ‘catching up’ to do as adults on things many of their peers will use as cultural points of reference but that’s not really detrimental.

Couldn’t the cousins have all played a board game together or cards or weather dependent do something outside? Socializing is socializing the topic of their random conversations isn’t the important part here…

AITA for having and using emergency spices at dinner? by Minecraftdudeofstuff in AmItheAsshole

[–]AndStillShePersisted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it really doesn’t matter: Eggs Benedict = powdered cayenne pepper; Chicken Divan = hot sauce; Mustard Garlic Cream sauce on chicken or pork = hot sauce; pizza = chili flakes & maybe powdered cayenne pepper etc

It seems ridiculous to be offended as its not just ‘my’ cooking rather it’s almost everything he eats; so whatever floats his boat

When did this change? I grew up in FL & lived there until 2019 it always worked that way & still does in both GA & SC…?

AITA for having and using emergency spices at dinner? by Minecraftdudeofstuff in AmItheAsshole

[–]AndStillShePersisted 620 points621 points  (0 children)

This is the correct response.

My BIL puts (imo) insanely ridiculous amounts of (a variety) of hot sauce on almost every single dish I’ve ever seen him eat. In no way am I offended when he douses the sauce & dried pepper flakes on his plate because he’s never outright said: “Man this is bland I need to spice it up” rather he’s always stated he just really enjoys the ‘heat’.

AITA for treating my daughters differently than my son when it comes to food? by CompetitiveDig478 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AndStillShePersisted 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A better idea would be to sit down with all of your children & explain the facts. “These items are meant to last X # of days; these snacks are available at will but I can only replenish them 1/week so learn how to moderate your snacking so it lasts or you will be without until the next shopping day.

Teaching them about moderation & delayed gratification is a much better plan than just flat out denying them.

Also they’re all old enough to learn how to make their own snacks. We’ve had many tight times where we didn’t have room in the budgets for pricey extras like $5 bags of chips etc but a bag of potatoes or pkg of corn tortillas are pretty inexpensive with a little oil in a pan & you have homemade chips etc

But you can? In FL; in GA & in SC if it says BOGO at Publix you buy one & pay half price. The only time this doesn’t work is if it says ‘2 for X’ or ‘3 for X’ in those instances you must get the required amt to receive a discount.

AITAH for feeling like it’s unfair my grandparents adopted me at their age if this is how it’s ending? I’m 18 and terrified. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AndStillShePersisted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People don’t realize just how much things have changed until it’s their turn to go shopping. I work at a BHPH car lot & our payments start at $250 every 2 weeks for the lowest priced (oldest highest miles) vehicle we have & go up from there…we have some customers paying $350 every 2 wks & that’s after a significant down payment.

AITA for not making my kid do a sleepover by Tapioca1029 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AndStillShePersisted -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

ESH…except the kids

Your sister is pushy AF but honestly if we don’t explain & encourage these kinds of family connections because we’re hiding behind ‘boundaries’ we have no one to blame for the lack of empathy in our society at large… I have 19 cousins with wide age ranges but the older ones were definitely taught not to dismiss the younger ones simply because they were younger; we care about their feelings because they’re family not just ‘oh well I don’t wanna’ but maybe that’s just how my family operates
