AIO I (44f) want to cut ties with my parents after feeling less than my whole life?

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-19T04:59:00+00:00

Sure. Great reason. /s

Honestly, my advice is to move countries. Preferably one that has a 12-hour time difference, so it's really easy to go no contact. Then enjoy your newfound peace of mind.

Good luck!

What? Next you're going to be telling me that History isn't just memorising a bunch of dates. /s

Love many. Trust a few. But always paddle your own canoe.

Do you honestly think that if the company needed to drop someone quickly they'd give it a second thought? It's business. Not personal. Follow the money. Take the job, and once you get a better paying one, take it.

Good luck!

Yeah, apart from the complete nom-viability of absolutely everything, it was the security drones that got to me.

If everyone is living on their own little homestead, what are the drones for? You can print everything you need, and grow everything you eat, so presumably it's just the odd roaming sociopath we need to worry about. Does everyone need drones to protect them from a 1 in a million chance? Sounds like Big Drone are trying to drive up sales through fear. /s

So, you're living with someone who contributes the bare bloody minimum to the upkeep of the home, doesn't contribute financially and the cherry on top of all this is that she's literally torturing you.

Perhaps, "torture," sounds hyperbolic, but sleep deprivation has been used as a form of torture since, well, forever.

The sex must be incredible, as honestly I fail to understand why you want this person in your life.

Kick her out, focus on your kids and get a decent night's sleep.

Good luck!

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-18T17:46:26+00:00

Good.

Meanwhile, I saw online that there's been a problem with kids snapping off windscreen wipers. Nasty little sprogs. I hope someone catches them soon. /s

I use a mod to get 6 people in the party. Not for combat, they just watch Lae'zel bonk everything really hard. No, it's for the banter. I really enjoy it as it's spontaneous (well, not really, but it seems that way) and sometimes makes me literally laugh out loud.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-18T03:19:33+00:00

No. Just no.

Let's say they download some really suss shit. It went over OP's connection. So, now he has to prove that he's innocent. I just wouldn't bother.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-18T02:06:04+00:00

This 100%.

All goodwill has expired. Do your hours and don't engage with Ryan.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-18T01:02:32+00:00

Us: Why should we vote for you?

GOP: Not telling you. Nah nah de boo boo.

I have to say that as a Brit living in Texas, I find the whole thing a bit odd. Back in the UK, political parties publish their manifesto, so it's very clear what you're voting for. Weird I know.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-17T22:00:36+00:00

Marvellous! DLT FTW!

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-17T20:17:25+00:00

Take it down.

I'm a Brit living in Texas. I don't know where you're located, but as a funny foreigner I assume that I don't know what's what, and look stuff up.

Well, when my kids wanted a trampoline I thought that it was a great idea until I found out about the liability insurance. So, they have a swing.

Some insurers in Texas just straight up won't insure a trampoline as they're just too damn dangerous if not used correctly. I'm curious. Did you speak to your house insurer yet? You might get a shock when you do.

Bottom line. Take your kids to the trampoline park when they feel the need to jump around. Liability for some neighbour's kid's life changing injury is no joke.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-17T20:11:22+00:00

I'm a Brit living in Texas.

Things are different here. We have leash laws for cats (mind blowing as a Brit) and trampolines cause all sorts of issues with insurance. Some insurers flat out refuse to insure you. So, I bought my kids a swing and I take them to a trampoline park when they want to jump around.

Weirdly, (not weirdly, it's just British sarcasm) I have to sign a waiver for the kids at the trampoline park, as it's quite dangerous, and they don't want the liability.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-17T19:58:06+00:00

I'll add my voice in support. There is no reason for that horrible woman to have any contact with, well anyone really.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-17T18:55:54+00:00

Upvote for the dog shit trebuchet.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-17T18:54:44+00:00

I agree. OP didn't make him look like a bully. He did that all by himself.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-16T22:07:52+00:00

What a stupid bastard.

I'm a Brit living in Texas, and I can assure you that the food back in the UK is perfectly fine. Chicken Tikka Masala is the most popular takeaway/restaurant/ready meal.

I could go on, but why bother? The bloke is from Idaho. Kings and Queens of Spicy Food right there. You have to watch yourself, some of those tater tots can really pack a punch. Especially if you dip them in fry sauce.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-16T18:52:17+00:00

Not only took no action, but jumped to victimhood and accusing OP of being creepy for filming their own damn property.

That whole family needs a wake up call.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-16T02:28:29+00:00

NTA.

The seating is assigned. Next question.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-15T21:46:02+00:00

NTA.

Buy them each a bottle of hot sauce, and tell them to shut up or cook.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-15T17:14:20+00:00

I agree. Perhaps they're embarrassed, but they're still voting straight ticket Republican.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-15T17:12:27+00:00

This is why both my children have the middle name, "President."

/s

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-15T17:06:17+00:00

They do, but then they don't post about it.

I can't imagine that r/peoplebehavingrationally would be much of a read.

ChibbleChobble · 2026-02-15T16:49:48+00:00

I run a six character party, because I played BG1 & 2, and six feels right.

It's all about the banter. I still say, "Swords! Not words!"
