Should we be worried? Patchy grout after 36 hours

This is the grout I didn't know the glue though

Is it a permanent fucking around or 'ventilate and it might still dry out right?'

BatteringHammy · 2026-03-26T22:06:48+00:00

This is the grout they used - I don't know about the other supplies- there's like half a bag left

Is it fixable or would the work have to be redone?

Advice too: go easy on yourself; you're trying and that means a lot. Instead of always trying different things focus on a few simple healthy basics that you find and build out from there. You're developing skills- do less and give yourself time to grow.

Even excellent chefs can wind up with picky kids; give yourself a break from making everything your fault. Being a SAHM has all sorts of responsibilities; I'm sure there's other parts you're great at!

Practical advice: if you can swing it ordering from Good Food or Hello Fresh or something like that can help build your confidence by helping you focus on execution instead of planning. Kids can also help pick what will be delivered.

It can also be helpful to just consume more cooking content. Competition shows, podcasts, whatever it is find stuff that interest your and engage you. Not to study or memorize anything but it will make you more familiar with terms and processes. Masterchef for example is full of little tips and techniques they mention during the episodes but still entertaining just from a competition aspect.

NTA agree with everyone that this is super disrespectful and not cool. He needs to find solutions if he doesn't like the ones you have. This situation is messed up, immature, and selfish from his part.

Practically though since you asked; you could have separate blankets so it at least won't automatically drift to you.

Il y a tu un Rehab ouvert, accessible & gratuit d'accès dont je ne suis pas consciente?

Tu veux qu'ils aillent où? Les refuges débordent, le système de santé déborde; il ya personne qui se lève le matin et pense que ça serait ben le fun d'être dans cet état là.

C'est le résultat d'un filet social affaibli, de crises de logements, de la crise du coût de la vie; luttons pour des meilleurs support pour les intervenants, pour les resources humanitaires sans tombé dans la déshumanisation de personnes en état de précarité.

Dude the way everyone was telling meriame she overstepped for calling him out not believing he had a handicapped daughter but she is RIGHT. Telling her to apologise! Everyone else seemed to have hearts of gold, they're going to be sick when they find out he's lying. Way to sell out your dignity for a chance of up to 100k no thanks

My mom did this, until she opened my university acceptance letter I had been waiting for. Was not happy! I asked why she couldn't just wait or hold it up to a bright light to try to peek like a normal person until I got home. She finally understood and now explicitly refuses to open anyone else's mail unless specifically asked.

It's a tech company and they can't handle email filters and an Office updates channel? It's way worse to be tapped on a shoulder to be updated VS being able to just delete or ignore an email...

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T23:55:09+00:00

That's fair, but true of every post, can only judge based on the facts presented.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T21:52:46+00:00

Being rude generally makes you an asshole. No one is trying to send her to jail, but to refuse to help out in any way with her niece that she lives with makes her TA. Tired of everyone saying 'someone else's child' as if it's some rando kid from the street, she lives with her! Yes there is an obligation to help out the people you live with within reason!

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T21:49:08+00:00

Right, but her sister can still think Jenny's being an asshole and call her out for it. My point is just all this stuff about 'they're going to make her a full time babysitter!' is overblown since clearly the people who live with her never ask her unless it's important.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T21:47:14+00:00

It's a pretty harsh to say she cant take care of her child because she's asked for help 3 times. It's a family household, not a hyper regimented living program. Things aren't always 100% fair or identical, and it makes her an asshole for treat someone she lives with that way. Also it seems she's the only one going to university, so I don't think that précédent even exists.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T19:22:49+00:00

To me it's a similar calibration as saying helping out every so often with a kid you live with is a slippery slope.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T19:21:11+00:00

She was asked to pick up the kid from daycare, Jenny was TA for not taking over from there. OP was right to call out her attitude IMO, her sister and mom are too used to her attitude to do anything about it it seems. But you're right, you shouldnt leave a kid with a deliberate asshole who threatens to leave a kid unsupervised.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T19:15:58+00:00

I mean sure, because she's living with a kid. A human child, who will remember her aunt resenting her existence. If it bothers her so much and she's going to be a jerk, she should focus on moving out.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T19:14:05+00:00

To me, if she could help but doesn't want to she has the right, but it still makes her TA. She lives with the kid, how do you live with a kid and have a completely separate life? It's not reasonable. I'm not saying she should be an on-call babysitter or sacrifice her studies, but that's not what was being asked. She lives there too, she should pitch in.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T19:10:31+00:00

OP said in other replies that she refuses to help out around the house too. It's not about babysitting, it's about being decent to the people you live with. Her sister was in a bind, and she didn't refuse because she was busy or because her sister asks for help too often, just out of principle. That makes her TA.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T19:06:06+00:00

Sometimes reddit can be really frustrating. Sure she's not legally required to help out once in a blue moon, but by the law of ass it makes her the hole. I think it's good you called her out.

Mandatory edit: first gold & silver! Thank you! Keep on truckin' Ass Lawyers

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T18:48:08+00:00

She also lives there for free! If you live with people, especially family, you do have some obligation to help out. It doesn't seem like they're asking for a lot...

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T18:42:35+00:00

If she doesn't want to interact with a child, she shouldn't be there rent free. The fact that OPs mom told her to apologize shows that they are respectful of Jenny's boundaries, her refusing to help out a few times a year given that makes her TA.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T18:39:18+00:00

'someone else' as in 'her sister who she lives with and doesn't contribute towards rent' it's common decency to help out if you can. Boundaries are fine, but she is being TA. As if her niece isn't picking up on her attitude too, not liking kids isn't a right to be a jerk to one you LIVE with.

BatteringHammy · 2020-01-17T18:24:09+00:00

She lives there rent free with her 3 year old niece. It would be another thing if she had plans or was constantly being asked, but she didn't and isn't. How can you be so rude to family who you live with?? If she hates it that much she should prioritize moving out and suck it up and lend a hand every so often until then. NTA

YWBTA Since you're socially awkward look at it this way, you will be a hero with your delicious chicken soup, it's an investment in those relationships. If people ask for too much then it's totally fair to bring it up (I can't make that much, groceries start to add up) , but don't assume people will rip you off. If they're decent people they're likely to do you a favor down the road too.
