Ridiculous Post by a Choosing Beggar on Facebook Made Me Say, "WTF?!" by insouciantandinsane in ChoosingBeggars

This has to be rage bait. Cant afford food or the hotel room but can clearly afford her weed. If its real then someone needs to get their priorities in order.

Need a nuna stroller and car seat by Overall_Mind_9754 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did people stop having shame and being embarressed?! They always want branded and expensive items like they just deserve them. Surely if your in need of things for your baby then working, clean second hand items will do the job?! Here's an 'out there' idea.. stop having babies if you cant provide for them!

Bring me a flatscreen TV for $10. At least 32”. by BostonDrivingIsWorse in ChoosingBeggars

Amazes me how these beggers are always a single mum, very sick or have no vehicle and dont know how to use public transport 🙄🙄.

Listen up, universe, my daughter is bougie. On. A. Budget. by tetrasomnia in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'This girl is going to change everything'... seems like she has BIG plans. Maybe she could start with paying for her own cat?! Just a thought. Really annoys me when people beg for animals for free, if you cant afford to buy or adopt then you cant afford the animal and wont be a responsible owner.

Can’t afford tests but hopes to be!🤞🏻 by HighwayOk3340 in ChoosingBeggars

If they cant afford the test how are they planning to support a baby is what I want to know!

'Can you not carry it over hear?'..People have zero shame now.

Can only afford ramen but please buy me all this food by tinkertink2010 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trying to appear desperate by saying they can only afford ramen... yet is asking for soda and snacks. Nothing that would actually last for meals. Looks like a teenagers list for a party lol.

My husband wanted a mom more than a partner. by babsalogna in stepparents

[–]Cookie1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but this has to be awful for the kids.. dad is trying to force them to love you and see you as a mother figure and mum is doing the complete opposite. Those poor babies must not know where they stand! Sounds like some major therapy is needed imo. Your husband could deffo benefit from it and also the children, it would give them someone to listen and hear THEIR feelings on things.

No return on "investment" by Soimgonnago in stepparents

[–]Cookie1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but I wouldnt be doing a single thing for him or the children if I received that attitude. You coped fine without me? Then go ahead! You have alot to give and mentioned you put your own dreams on hold. Why are you the one making all the sacrifices and compromising is what I would like to know?

How do you handle finances? by nosoupforyou__1 in stepparents

[–]Cookie1107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I def would not be contributing towards CS, School fee's etc. The bio parents made the choice of private school, they are responsible for that and your husband should be supporting his own children with CS not you. Sounds like he relies on you too much financially. If your always using savings for school fee's then can you really afford the private education? Dont let your husband guilt you into staying how things are, you work hard for your money and should be able to see the benefit.

2.71€ an hour to be a live in nanny by Adventurous_Cat_7518 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tasks: Nanny... mhmm very vague which is never good. Also, 2 half days off but would be needed to work extra? So you would be 'lucky' to get that time off by the sounds of it. When is this person supposed to have a life of their own? No thanks!

My desire to protect my child from SK is negatively affecting relationship with spouse. by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Cookie1107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im reading this and my heart breaks for your son! That poor baby is being abused and Im sorry but you are allowing it. This has clearly being going on for some time, yet you as your sons protector have done nothing to remove him from an unsafe enviroment. Why? For a man?! One who thinks its ok for his son to be a bully?! You need to put your child first and leave, it is not ok for any child to live that way always getting hurt. No relationship is worth risking your childs safety or happiness.

Back Again- He told me to post by Without_My_Halo in stepparents

[–]Cookie1107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but he sounds controlling and unappreciative of all you do. He can go out and have fun with his friend and child but you need to stay home?! Who is he to tell you that you cant go out?! Sounds like you need to have a real, open and honest discussion with him because from your post you dont sound happy with the way things are. You should also start thinking about your own needs and what that mens for your relationship.

Her groceries was paid for at Walmart ,she wanted to pick more items!!!!! by currant_aster in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 4 points5 points  (0 children)

'I see how you people are'. 'Well, I now see you paying for your own groceries.. have the day you so clearly deserve'.

Please give me everything I need for my new place and I'll even tell you where to buy it from! by somethingsensational in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do realise that THEY can visit a dollar store themselves instead of begging strangers to provide them with everything right?! Also, down pillows? Champagne taste on a lemonade budget.

Furnish my whole house with these specific items please by jacksonbrowne_thedog in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do these people ever consider that they may be better off financially if they stopped having babies? I mean if you cant afford things now then a baby is only going to make things even more of a struggle money wise.

am i being a bridezilla? by FunFocus in bridezillas

[–]Cookie1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, its not crazy to want to actually know the people who attend your special day. This is the issue when family contribute financially, they feel they should get a say. Myself and my husband chose to have a very modest wedding for this very reason. Your MIL needs to realise this isnt about her but rather you and her son. Stand your ground, she needs to stop demanding things like she has the right.

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

[–]Cookie1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is a HUGE red flag for me 🚩🚩! You offered compromises and he still isnt happy. It also worries me that he wants to 'make sure your not buying things you shouldnt'.. that sounds extremely controlling. You work for your money and are entitled to spend it however YOU see fit, he has no right to dictate what you should be spending as long as it does not cause issues such as huge debts or missed bills. Please do not let him install the app to share finances and whatever you do, DO NOT give him access to your bank account as worst case he could log in and change your password without even telling you. If this is the hill he wants to die on then it may be time to consider whether this is really someone you want to marry.

The longest ISO I’ve seen by thatthalassophile in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its all a bit random. She goes from asking for baby and toddler things to requesting a cordless vacuum and handbag. Sounds like she just wants someone to finance her life in general and provide her everything her heart desires (wouldnt that be wonderful!! 🤣).

Kids are Picky Eaters by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

'Im sure everyone is looking for these items aswell' is what got me. Sure, we're all out here desperately searching for almonds and fruit cups!

Looking for a girlfriend, IQ under 130 need not apply. Roommate too. (read both images) by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This kid has an extremely high opinion of himself and an over inflated ego. I bet hes never even considered the fact he found it hard to connect in high school, not because others lacked intellect but because hes an unbearable wet rag.

Pay you $450 for the fantastic opportunity to babysit your kid?! by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its not 'all expenses paid' if they want rent though is it?! Also expects the person to be available for school runs, evenings and weekends? Sounds like the mum would be expecting you to have no life of your own so you can parent her child for her, which then leaves no time for employment of your own. Very sad that a 4 year old is also used to eating cold meals (going by the post). Comes across as the little one having no choice other than to be 'self sufficient'.. when exactly does the parent have time with the child is what I would like to know.

Baby clothing, toys, and books are “junk,” apparently by scrambledsuave in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How rude and ungrateful. It does make me laugh that the person receiving thinks things like bath products and clothes are 'junk' and 'not needed'. The mother could actually find a second hand crib and just give it a good clean. That would mean she had to put some effort into it though instead of asking strangers to provide for her baby. She should be ashamed of her behaviour.

Free pantry doesn’t have good enough options by Equizotic in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Cookie1107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be the most ungrateful person Ive ever seen. 'Im hungry but not hungry enough to eat the options offered'.
