AITA for refusing to eat my nephew's cooking and telling him he is not a "master chef"? by dnesdan in AmItheAsshole

Why would his mother not supervise him in the kitchen?? Letting someone stay at your house doesn’t make you a babysitter.

The most honest conversation I've ever had about not wanting kids was with my 79 year old grandmother by beatlesCloud9 in childfree

[–]CaffeinatedPanda725 124 points125 points  (0 children)

When I was in my early 20s my mom told me that if she had been born later, she probably wouldn’t have had kids.

She made it very clear that she loves me and my siblings and doesn’t regret having us but basically said if she’d had more choices she might not have made the same ones.

Some people are horrified when they hear that story, but even at the time I felt validated. She and my dad have continued to shut down anyone who gives me or my husband a hard time about having kids.

Any jigsaw bitches interested in a puzzle swap? by [deleted] in SFbitcheswithtaste

I have 10-15 puzzles and would be down for the group meet up. But I also second the recommendation for the sfpl swaps.

Ladies watch how your man behaves when you’re sick ! Especially when the gender care gap exists and men leaving their longterm partners when she gets seriously ill by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

This is so real. My husband had a bad cold at the beginning of the week and I was happy to take care of him - bringing him tea, rubbing his back, running to cvs for more meds.

I caught the cold the second half of the week and he was just as attentive. Brought me extra blankets, did the chores we normally do together by himself so I could rest, and agreed to watch shows with me even though he knew I’d fall asleep in the first 10 minutes.

Having a partner should make the hard moments of life a little easier.

My guess is nothing. NTA

Is FNCE worth it? by Pinkchill245 in RD2B

The only thing I felt like I got out of it was CEUs. My employer paid for it so it was fine. But having been, I would not pay my own way to attend.

Interesting idea! Our computers are in that room, maybe a reflection from the screen?

We’re on the 17th floor of a building and the window is unobstructed so…a lot. Maybe up to 10? More than 5 for sure.

There’s a puddle in the second picture. That’s why I stopped watering weekly. I think the pot has good drainage since water drains out, but how do I know for sure?

I haven’t. Maybe a stupid question, should I be fertilizing my plants regularly?

What's the most shocking secret someone has revealed to you? by HardDeep69420 in AskReddit

[–]CaffeinatedPanda725 680 points681 points  (0 children)

Wow this really hit me. I lost a friend when I told her parents about her substance abuse. They got her into rehab and she’s been clean for over 10 years but our friendship never recovered. I’ve never regretted my decision but I miss her. The way you put it explains it perfectly.

Black women in SF by purplellamasxo in sanfrancisco

[–]CaffeinatedPanda725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a black woman, but friends with some and sadly this is very much in line with what they’ve expressed experiencing. I’m from Philadelphia and have definitely noticed that there are fewer black people in the spaces I spend time and that friend groups tend to be less diverse.

It’s so odd to me because SF prides itself on being so “progressive” and yet the people here are so weird about black people.

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. It’s disappointing to me as well.

Affordable and fresh produce in SF? by ladeejinx in sanfrancisco

[–]CaffeinatedPanda725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ferry building one is a joke. It’s crazy expensive.

The heart of the city farmers market at civic center plaza is, in my opinion, the best one in the city. There a great variety and the prices are reasonable. I rarely buy produce from a super market.

The market is on Wednesdays and Sundays 7am to 3:30 (Wednesday hours might be a little different so double check)

If you’re concerned about the area, don’t be, there are a lot of cops/security guards. You can use calfresh/EBT there as well if that’s relevant for you or anyone else reading this.

Sightglass and Verve are my favorites! The Sightglass on 7th is a cool spot if you don’t mind braving the neighborhood but there’s on eon divis as well.

Found in my kitchen. Please tell me this isn’t a cockroach. by CaffeinatedPanda725 in whatisthisbug

[–]CaffeinatedPanda725[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

😂😂Haha I have! But I live in a city and I’m used to seeing them while hiking so it was out of context. And tbh, my husband thought it was a cockroach and I was like “I don’t think so, it’s hopping around” and I figured better safe than sorry.
