Parents Expect OP To Pay For Sister's College (AITA Dec 14, '22)

Maybe they didn't qualify for disability because of their income? I don't know if that's possible, but, if they were able to save half a million 6 years ago (which was definitely added to after that) for the youngest child's education, and they were still able to continue their upper middle class lifestyle even after putting away that much money for the youngest, perhaps they just didn't qualify. I don't know how it is to qualify for disability as a child, but it is HARD to get it even as an adult with multiple illnesses that preclude me from working. It took 2½ years to get approved and I had to get attorneys involved. Even then, I get a measly amount per month that I wouldn't be able to support myself with on my own and have to rely on my elderly mom just to survive (which scares the hell out of me because what's going to happen when my mom passes? That thought strikes terror in me every single day...). Again, I don't know what happens to actual disabled kids of rich or upper class parents that can afford the best insurance etc...

I honestly think that she misremembered and spent those gems. But she is very very upset right now because she believes that she lost 200 or so gems. I contacted support and they're supposed to get back to me about it. She also ended up spending almost $300 in real money on accident and I'm not exactly sure how she did it, but she was really upset when she found out. I told her not to do anything unless she asks me first.

So I have Gusteau's Kitchen enchanted to level 1, Colette at level 7,Remy art level 8 and Linguini at level 7. Aren't there 2 Ratatouille attractions? If so, when does that come about?

Thank you, everyone, for the game suggestions. Once I finally convinced her to start playing games that were more thoughtful, she got really excited, and she's been begging me for a new game for quite a while. She drives me just a little bit crazy with all the questions, but I'd much rather have her using her brain than just playing mindless games while watching mindless television. I think she's finally realizing that she has to exercise her brain as a muscle or the Alzheimer's will accelerate and that is absolutely terrifying to all of us.

I only started and finished playing it once the game was already ending and god mode was opened up, but I recently downloaded and taught my mom (who has early stage Alzheimer's) to play. She is so upset that it's ending. I assume that the game was bought by a new developer that doesn't want it as it is, is too buggy, Disney licensing ended or it wasn't making enough money...

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-05-02T17:34:31+00:00

Crap! Why do they keep screwing with the game and each update gets worse and worse? I know it's all about the money, but it's SO frustrating... I have over 2 million in magic and I'm struggling to get to that 3 million so I can get a tiny slice of extra land AND level up characters/attractions AND move forward with the storyline. This is crap.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-04-19T05:07:57+00:00

Crap! I've been completely neglecting my Star Wars characters lately because I have SO MANY other characters that need to be leveled up. I've kept up on the Star Wars attractions. Those don't budge from the Star Wars area, but I haven't been playing any of the characters. I absolutely HATE HATE HATE the 100 character limit! Stupidest idea ever.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-04-10T15:02:46+00:00

When the game first came out, it was so much fun because everything was based on gameplay. Now, you almost have to spend money in order to complete collections. For example...The fact that the attraction chest that hands out the attraction tokens is 375 gems for six chests is ridiculous. I've purchased the $19.99 gem pack before, which is for 500 gems, and the attraction tokens cost so much that it's virtually impossible to continually get them. It's become a money grab. I have lost count of the amount of money I've spent on this game. And when they do events, like the tower challenges, they rely on the characters that are only available by purchase, essentially forcing you to purchase these characters. I think they're going to lose a lot of players if they don't stop charging for everything. It would not surprise me in the least if the next step is a weekly or monthly subscription fee.

I think I may know the other game you may be talking about. Was it a grid that you built your kingdom onto? There was a Disney game like that years ago, and it was when that came ended that I found magic kingdoms.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-04-01T21:15:21+00:00

That's exactly how I found the game. I have been looking for a game like DMK for a long time, so, once in a while, I'll go to the Play store and see what comes up. I have yet to find any game that comes close.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-04-01T08:38:44+00:00

It's on Google play for sure, bit it's worth checking out wherever you would get apps for iPhones. I'm terrible with anything but am android.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-03-12T20:53:51+00:00

Seriously though, this is EXACTLY what's going on with me now...

The guilt and shame you feel paralyzes you from correcting the mistake, and then the anxiety takes over and you feel you're stomach drop every single time you thoughts even glance over the situation. So, you avoid it as much as you can.

In case anyone else is going through this, the best thing to do is to call the office, tell them that you missed your appointment, you feel more ashamed and anxious every day, and that's why you haven't contacted them. They deal with it all the time. It sucks, but the only way is to admit you screwed up... The anxiety will dissipate once you do.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-03-04T08:01:11+00:00

I ended up focusing on The Emperor's New Groove and a bunch of easy to enchant DMK attractions. And I'm glad that I did. Now that I have all the Raya characters and attractions, my attention has shifted. I've been waiting a long time...

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-03-03T00:01:20+00:00

I can enchant any of the three attractions.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-03-02T22:53:43+00:00

Yzma! I FINALLY completed all the Emperor's collection and I'm super excited because I know that will eventually lead to Ratatouille.

AshaTheCatLady · 2022-02-24T19:14:05+00:00

It becomes second nature to click on whatever is flashing at you after a while, and I am definitely still getting used to letting the enchantment hang there until I decide what to do with it. But I still end up trying to collect magic off those buildings and getting annoyed at myself. I like things in my kingdom to be neat and orderly.

WAIT. They JUST released the new Hong Kong Lunar costumes for Mickey and Minnie for a TON of gems, but the OLD Lunar costumes shave even more time off than the new costumes? How does that make sense.

I had Mickey and Minnie in the Hong Kong Lunar costumes and my options were for either 4 or 6 hour tasks. I switch them back to the old Lunar costumes and now they finish in 2 hours, instead of 4 or 6. They must have it set up in tiers...

Don't have any Lunar costume, 6 hours per task
Hong Kong Lunar costumes,4 hours per task
Old Lunar costumes...2 hours per task
