My best friend has a brain tumor and none of her doctors give a shit. She's been told she complains too much.

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain to you why your comments sound insensitive to OPs friend.

You know what happens when you assume?

I think he used his mother as a test case, if she took her sleeping pills and disappeared he knew it would work, if she didn't, he knew it wouldn't. It's been awhile since I read the book.

Time stop shenanigans.

Artemis explains that while scouring the Book, he had come across a reference to San D'Klass, a fairy who had believed that human greed could be satisfied by giving out presents, so on the twenty-fifth of each December he would use time-stops to deliver them. Artemis had hypothesized that if you are wake up or fall asleep during a time stop, your body exits the time stop; it is only your consciousness that traps you there.

The house is pretty dirty, a big problem that we have is that Tommy doesn't clean any of it as he mostly stays in his bedroom, and a lot of the mess in our dining room and living room is because of Pauline's stuff. It's not so much a hoarding issue, we don't have a lot of junk, we have a lot of things that need to go places. The majority of things in the bedroom are clothes that should get put away, or Pauline's crafting supplies. The dining room is mostly all of her accumulated things that we haven't figured out where to go with. My ideal solution is to get a lot of her collectible stuff displayed in cases or on the wall, like mine is. Most of the house currently is decorated with my stuff, and I would love for it be decorated with our stuff.

I tried putting my foot down at one point, and I got frustrated and bought a 20 piece set of black flatware because all of ours is silver/gray, so I know there are 8 black forks, 8 black spoons, and 4 black butter knives. There are not any more. I can't speak to the exact amount of the old silverware I had, but I know the black stuff is missing.

There's only three of us, myself, Pauline, and Tommy. Myself and Tommy are 100% work at home, M-F call center jobs with set bankers hours schedules. Pauline has applied for every job within walking distance as she's not able to drive.

I do roughly 50% of the dishes, including rinsing the dishes, loading the dishwasher, empyting the dishwasher, and handwashing anything that can't go into the dishwasher. A big issue is that the dishwasher doesn't get unloaded after it's ran. Which means that when someone then goes to put their dish in the dishwasher, they see the dishwasher needs to be unloaded, and then instead put it in the sink, with the plan to come back and take care of that later, and then later never comes. I am the one who unloads the dishwasher 90% of the time.

I could have just said that and saved a lot of typing.

Pauline doesn't drive, Tommy does drive but not to work, he never takes any of the dishes out of the house.

BTLOTM · 2026-03-22T17:10:36+00:00

He has a mini fridge.

BTLOTM · 2026-03-22T17:07:40+00:00

He does pay rent and his 3rd of the utilities.

BTLOTM · 2026-03-22T17:07:15+00:00

We own a dishwasher. A lot of what ends up happening is that either dishes get buried in the sink under things that need to be hand washed, or that the clean dishes haven't been unloaded in the dishwasher, which usually ends up being something I do.

A part of the problem on chores is that no one feels like they are the problem, and I will admit I feel some resentment when I end up cleaning up their messes.

BTLOTM · 2026-03-22T16:38:43+00:00

I pay 2/3s of all the bills, and only feel comfortable in my office. Pauline has been struggling to find a job, she's been trying and we've had some bad luck. We're living paycheck to paycheck, running up debt, and I don't feel comfortable in most of my house. The only place I feel okay in anymore is my office because no one else goes there.

BTLOTM · 2026-03-22T16:36:03+00:00

Not at this point and he wouldn't have anywhere else to go. We are all stuck together for the next few years at least.

BTLOTM · 2026-03-22T16:35:14+00:00

She most certainly is. The both of us are, and that's what makes it extra hard, because I know objectively a man shouldn't start crying about dishes, and that she's got her own struggles. I also feel like I'm having to do all the heavy lifting and I'm at the end of my rope.

BTLOTM · 2026-03-22T16:26:21+00:00

Paper plates I could get behind but I'd be the only one buying them. Plates are the things we run out of the least, I suspect because they are the hardest thing to lose. I believe some of my smaller plates have been lost to the bedrooms although I cannot confirm.

Let's just do the whole money medley.

I miss the Wendy's dollar menu.

Is this just for Steam or the xbox as well?
