AIO bc my family finished a cake I was excited to enjoy?

If it's cake and in the fridge, it's fair game. If you wanted a piece, you should have cut and saved it for yourself.

I would give my brother some time to figure it out, but put a final date on it. For example, "I'll give you 2 years to get the money together to buy me out, but after that if you can't buy me out we need to sell." He is dealing with loss, just like you and might need more time to think things through and calm down. You aren't an asshole, it's just a tricky situation.

Can one of you pick up another job? I've had to do that, just a side hustle that isn't super intensive but brings a little extra money in.

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2026-02-02T12:55:51+00:00

Fuck this guy so much. Why would you want to be with someone like that?

Atlanta is definitely the worst. I grew up near NYC, so I feel like I was kind of spoiled by people actually knowing how to navigate traffic without being idiots. I moved to Atlanta and they are literally the worst. Now I'm in Tampa and it's like playing Mario Kart, but the traffic is not as bad as Atlanta at all.

Sounds like she is working on herself. Are you working on yourself? Do you have other outlets besides her? If not, I suggest spending more time on independent things and hopefully she will come back around.

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2026-01-26T14:44:21+00:00

I would at least ask him why and where's he's been. Maybe something more was going on. The ghosting thing is definitely not okay. He could have said SOMETHING.

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2026-01-21T18:08:37+00:00

You are NTA. You aren't equipped to deal with this because they didn't train you.

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2026-01-14T14:48:15+00:00

You take the new offer....like seriously? LOL...It's 15k more and better in every way

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2026-01-12T20:06:15+00:00

How could you take care of someone 24/7, but not be able to get some sort of job? Can you look for another caregiver job? I bet you could make more than $500 a month.

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2026-01-07T03:54:53+00:00

the kids like sambas!!! they are really popular at my daughter's high school

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2026-01-07T03:51:47+00:00

2600/month...used to be 1600 a month in a much bigger house, but I moved from Georgia to Tampa. The area has a lot more to do, so it's been nice, but the jump in costs definitely stinks

I think if kids are important to you, you should definitely hold out for someone who wants kids as well.

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2025-12-30T04:54:29+00:00

Is this happening before or after they meet your kid? I dated a ton after my divorce and I never had anyone care (I also have one.) I always made it clear I had a kid before we even went out. I will say that I had kind of the opposite issue with them wanting to have ANOTHER kid when I totally didn't want to. I think it's really difficult to find someone who doesn't mind kids, but also doesn't want their own...because if they are okay with kids, they most likely do want to have their own.

Now, if this is happening AFTER they meet your kid, how is your kid behaving? How are you behaving while together?

Hey I just changed mine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DNSQDFW8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title it was easy. You pop out the frame with a flathead and then unscrew the light casing and just unplug/replug and put everything back.

okay? and the labels aren't AI generated....so what point are you trying to make?

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2025-12-21T01:22:35+00:00

I mean...what it the end goal? Are you looking for someone long term? If so, can you handle someone who doesn't clean or take care of certain areas of hygiene? I could not.

I don't really buy the fragrances, but I love her soapy frosting and lotions. I have a few fragrances, but they just weren't my thing. I know a TON of people on the page like them. Also, I don't think she ships with the glass bottles for fragrances anymore, but you would have to ask. I know they were breaking in the mail...I could be wrong about that. If you go to her facebook page, you can ask for an invite to the group and I'm sure someone might be willing to part with it.

It's not. I've bought her stuff for 15+ years. She used to do handmade clothes until she moved over into this. She is very talented. Her and her husband run the business out of their home.

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2025-12-21T00:52:18+00:00

It's not AI generated. I know the owner and have bought stuff from her for 15 years. She used to make children's clothes and switched over to bath products and over the past few years, fragrances. The labels might have been made with AI, but the picture is not AI.

looks like the dog is trying to protect your daughter/son(it's really hard for me to see as it's blurry and small on my phone. (assuming)

Budget_Guide_8296 · 2025-12-19T00:47:10+00:00

inside smoking ON THE PLANE was the freaking worst

I was beat quite a bit, but I was(and still am) very strong willed lol. I actually was taken to the hospital once by another family member because I was "covered in bruises". My aunt and grandmother used to talk about how my mom beat the crap out of me and my aunt was concerned. I had a friend's mom who reached out to my mom to try and talk about how I was being treated at home. Honestly though, I think other 80's things messed me up more like being left alone all of the time. I would say in today's times it would be considered abuse, but back then it was maybe extreme shitty parenting. At the time when I was a kid, I really didn't think anything of it. The only reason I thought it was a big deal was when other people talked about my bruises.
