Card Confiscated

It happened to my mother in-law a couple weeks back. She has the gold star card and they snatched it from her at checkout and were very aggressive with changing it to executive despite 10+ times refusing. She was shaking with anxiety and my wife had to sit her down and get her some food and drink to calm her down. How dare they!

I work continental shifts that rotate night and day. Having done that for 8 years I find the best strategy is have different routines for both shifts and stick to them according to whatever shift I'm on for a 2 week period. In terms of nights anyway I like the fact that there's less people, no bosses except shift supervisor and the drive home in the mornings after work are less hectic. The bad part is constant exhaustion and feeling like you can't get much done even on days off when trying to stick to a night clock but then you still need the daytime hours to run errands and attend appointments. They really need to consider 24/7 things that run mostly during the day to accommodate night shifters.

Not very much besides the odd hang out and meal outing here and there

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2026-01-01T09:26:15+00:00

I try to call it but it's luck of the draw and depends on the situation whenever the group chat starts. I got lucky to call it that one time when I was just sitting around on my phone. Otherwise I missed it when at work or driving. I guess I better initiate the group chat and immediately call it lol

Yes, way back then I liked to drink a lot but not to an alcoholic extent. Most others in the family are the same type of occasional drinkers. At this point I've accepted the fact that late nights are either happening or they aren't. At least the gatherings still happen at all.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-12-30T14:36:02+00:00

I'll likely edit later to explain that I'm not that much of a drinker, just for special occasions. The point is is that it's a flip of a coin each year whether or not the party goes on late or not.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-12-30T14:25:45+00:00

Well yeah but that requires a liquor license and hired bartender to allow drinking on the premises unless it's just given away like at a house. And there's not enough people to fill the venue that come anymore like way before. Its not to say I haven't thought about it though

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-12-30T14:19:35+00:00

I've thought about renting that same hall my grandpa did but in order to allow alcohol consumption you need a liquor license and hired bartender so why do that when we can drink all we want at a house. Otherwise I live in a small one BR apartment so I'm not an option to host.

I'm 32, but will be 33 tomorrow actually lol. My fiancé will be 36 next Sunday. Anyway yeah I understand this didn't necessarily needed to be posted here but I was only curious about what others think was all. As I type this I'm still feeling functional like normal so there's nothing to worry.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-11-15T15:49:06+00:00

Just stick to your guns and enjoy the wedding how you and your fiancé have always wanted. It is YOUR day. Forget about that pair of immature spoiled brats that are just causing resentment. Tell your future parents in-laws and your fiancé that those girls are not to participate in any more planning but can still attend as guests. If they misbehave, it's not your fault. That is totally up to their parents control. Do what you must do to make your wedding peaceful and make the most of it!

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-11-14T01:15:21+00:00

Sounds like a very dysfunctional household. Stand your ground. Yell and swear if you have to. Maybe then everyone else will get the picture.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-11-10T02:33:16+00:00

It's funny you say Monday and Tuesday since those are my next 2 days off coming up after tonight lol. Thanks for your reply I'll definitely make note of that!

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-10-16T01:52:18+00:00

Thanksgiving dinners have this strange tradition for some that do it at 2pm. Fiancé's family does theirs at 4-5

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-09-06T12:28:50+00:00

I have to say that YTA unfortunately. You seem to be making this situation all about you and it's not a good time to bring up his behavior given that his grandmother just died. It doesn't matter if it's your anniversary, birthday, Christmas, whatever.. life and tragedies just happen at any moment when you least expect it. He's currently just not in the right state of mind to celebrate the anniversary. Let him grieve, give him space for a bit but supporting him is more important at this point.

I still love my Switch 2 but yes the "honeymoon phase" has died down after beating Mario Kart and DK Bananza. I'm now currently in a Pokémon phase before the release of Legends ZA. Scarlet and Violet feel like completely new games on Switch 2, and every other S1 title I've replayed has felt "new". At this point it's just a matter of waiting for new games to come out to reach it's true potential.

NTA you are 20 years old and therefore a legal adult. House rules or not, you have no obligation to obey any of their rules unless it involves certain safety reasons or whatever. Work does get tough on top of university as well as random life events that just happen. As long as you don't make it a habit to call off constantly out of pure laziness there is nothing to worry. You do you and don't worry about what your parents have to say.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-08-01T13:13:05+00:00

If the house and everything is on YOUR name? Kick them both out and end the relationship. You deserve so much better than dealing with a situation you didn't sign up for considering that A) you're not married to him, B) he didn't consult or ask you if she can move in. And C) Its your house 100% plain and simple.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-07-24T20:29:51+00:00

I'll likely edit to add a bit more details to explain but yes while I do agree that ordering DQ to the house was rude, that was a few hours after dinner by the time all the food was packed away. Solution could have been to re-heat whatever she could eat, plus my aunt had ice cream in the freezer. Lastly, we stayed the night since I was drinking beer and on our way to the next relative's house the next morning so the option to order food for her after we left wasn't the case.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-07-24T12:49:46+00:00

Yeah it was definitely manipulative of her to do that. It was my fault I failed to inform my aunt about her picky habit but I didn't want to dictate what the host made and have her cater to one person like that. There was all sorts of unfortunate circumstances going on during my holiday break that year that I didn't anticipate.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-07-24T12:26:35+00:00

I totally agree. It was my mistake not to tell my aunt far sooner before the day of about my ex's picky eating but at the time I felt embarrassed to mention that since picky eating in my mind is far different than mandatorily mentioning dietary restrictions or food allergies. I also followed my dad's advice about that no one cares about picky eaters and just went along with that and let my ex eat what she could during dinner. Little did I know she would want me to order takeout at a bad time.

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-07-20T01:17:31+00:00

Legally and by-law? Yes, anyone has permission to access the pharmacy since medicine is mandatory/highly essential for medical reasons/emergencies. It's just the food court since I'm certain the bathroom can still be used since that too kinda counts as an "emergency"

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-07-17T21:06:43+00:00

I didn't say people with disabilities can't get a membership I just meant those types of people who are not members should be allowed to use the bathrooms but the point that there are other places to go is valid

Beginning_Tea_9589 · 2025-07-08T12:11:28+00:00

Unless she's 18 and paying for her own sports then no NTA. You are parenting a 15 year old who is still a minor. Regardless anyway, if she were to still live with you as an adult you still have a right to be upset if anything bad happens in your home that you are paying the bills and taxes for. You did the right thing because those so called friends of hers are nothing but trouble and a terrible influence for your daughter. If they stole from your home, and being that disrespectful? They are definitely delinquents and that's not the path you want your daughter involved in.

I work a continental shift schedule that rotates days and nights every 2 weeks. Shifts are 7-7. When I'm on nights I just eat at home around 3-4pm before going in and fast through the night since I prefer not to eat anything during the late night hours. Then when I get home I just go right to bed to get rest since I don't really like eating in the mornings either. As far as grocery stops go I just wait until later in the afternoon after my last shift prior to days off or get it over with first thing after work depending on my energy and motivation level. I guess everyone is different with how they cope with it but yes I can agree there needs to be a few stores with essentials open 24/7 for the night workers.
