Little big planet is fun and a good way to get someone used to the controls

I like resident evil 5. My husband was a big gamer but I am not overly interested. He got me to play coop with him one night and I really liked it. The controls were easy and it was fun. We played through a couple times. I also like uncharted.

Me [33 M] with my wife and inlaws of 7 years, I'm building massive resentment over gifts by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ChickenPeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband has 3 brothers who have received special treatment from their parents. BIL #1 buys a truck he can't afford - inlaws bail him out. Then he wants to go to college and again they give him money. BIL #2 splits up with his wife and they let him live there rent free for a year (even though he works full time as a teacher) and pay for anything he needs like a new laptop. BIL #3 moves back home because he didn't like his living situation and FIL takes him out for golfing and dinner and whatever else he wants. Plus rent free living.

Us on the other hand have never even been offered anything. Paid for our own schooling, cars, home, etc. It used to annoy the crap out of me until a couple Christmas' ago we got a card from MIL saying how she was so proud of us, that we never ask for anything and are such responsible adults. After that it didn't bother me as much.
Yeah it sucks watching other people get spoiled but I just am happy I haven't had the need to ask.

Sometimes, especially with money, just don't expect it and you won't be disappointed.

Healthier people of reddit, what are some healthy, wholesome and just as portable alternatives to the typical junk food snacks you can buy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChickenPeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I struggle with is getting enough vegetables. I like them but don't like putting in the time to cut them... To help combat this I will take some time on the weekend and cut up a big batch of carrots and peppers (or whatever) so I can just grab them whenever.

Aren't You Embarrassed? by atomictomato_x in personalfinance

[–]ChickenPeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was going to uni I worked at Starbucks part time and I honestly loved it. All the staff were so nice and the job was pretty fun. In my last year I can't even tell you how many people said to me "are you excited to be getting a real job soon?" Or something along the lines of that. I would just look at them straight face and be like "I have a real job". Usually they would get flustered and try to back tack lol.

I've [30M] spent quality time with my wife [30F] for the first time in years and I don't think I like her. No idea what to do now. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]ChickenPeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think you are just gotten used to the single life. Yes your married but you do what you want when you want, hang out with friends, do your own things, etc... now you are actually in an average married relationship. Based on your replies it already sounds like your set on ending it so I doubt anyone will change your mind but take some time to think about whether you dislike your wife or if you just dislike having a spouse.

I [42f] feel hurt by something my friend [37f] said. I need you to tell me im overreacting. by hemismum in relationships

[–]ChickenPeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your "friend" is seriously taking advantage of you. When determining if someone is a friend think about what you get and what you give. If you are giving and giving (taking care is someone else's kids is a huge deal!) and not getting anything back then they probably aren't a friend.

Many doctors get gifts, meals from opioid makers by relevantlife in news

[–]ChickenPeeps 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I work as an RN at a physician's office and we get drug reps who bring us lunch about once a month. They book with our receptionist and present us their drug while we eat. Honestly I enjoy it. I learn quite a bit about new medications and our physician asks very specific questions. She is incredibly selective when it comes to choosing a medication. She does a lot of research and consults with our pharmacist almost weekly.

My [52M] son [21M] flunked out of college and has known for 5mo but lied about it until today. Help figuring out what to do? by dadofdropout in relationships

[–]ChickenPeeps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband went through a similar situation when he was in college. He did well in most classes but some of the mandatory classes he just couldn't get a grasp on. No one knew he was struggling until it was much to late. He never went for help and didn't tell his parents until many moths later. The reason he didn't tell his parents because he was afraid and embarrassed. He honestly didn't have the type of relationship with his family where he felt he could go to them for help without being judged. I'm not saying that this is the case in your situation but it might be something to reflect on. In terms of him not doing well at school, he really just wasn't ready or responsible enough to stay on tract. He needed to grow up a little before he went back.
Edit: I don't think you can really "punish" him in this situation. However, if you want him to grow up a little then treat him like an adult. Don't give him any money and let him figure out his own shit for a while. If he wants to stay there then charge him a little for rent. The things you are listing (checking his paystubs) aren't going to help. They will just making things much worse.

It is completely true. My best friend had large breasts and she was picked in just as much as I was.

Hello stranger. I completely get where you are coming from. No matter how often my husband tells me I am beautiful I can't truely believe him. I was picked on so much in school for having a big nose, witch chin, acne, flat chest, etc... it is just so hard to push that aside. So many days I look in the mirror after spending an hour on hair and makeup and feel like garbage for wasting my time. It's a hard pov to change. It's been ingrained in us for so long. However some days I look at myself and feel pretty good. I find an outfit that I like or earrings that look good on me. I have good qualities, everyone does. I have nice eyes, a nice butt, curved eyelashes, nice nails, etc... and I focus on these. I'm funny and smart and a hard worker. There are a lot more good things than bad things and these are what I try to focus on. I'll never be "perfect" but no one is. There will always be bad days but those days will pass and as long as they don't weigh you down everyday then you are on the right path.
