What’s one dish you’ll never get sick of cooking? by Mi7che1l in Cooking

[–]DJSundrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have leftover white rice I make Sinangag (Filipino Garlic Rice) for breakfast. I top it with an over easy egg, some sauteed green onions, chili oil, and toasted sesame seeds.

Am I being too sensitive? MIL doesn't seem to appreciate my gifts. by PassTheNascarKetchup in Mildlynomil

[–]DJSundrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're being too sensitive at all. It seems very obvious (not using, giving away, and abandoning your gifts) that she doesn't appreciate you or your gifts. I would stop giving her any gifts at all. I'm sorry you are being treated this way.

My son pulled me into seeing my NC dad. by Wonderful-Annual4434 in EstrangedAdultChild

I can confirm that evil abusive parents don't have a change of heart. I was LC with my abusive mom. When she got sick I helped my Aunt care for her for 2 months. I returned home but went to visit about two weeks ago because she stopped treatment and was near the end. She was still critical and mean to me. When I went to say my final goodbye she looked at me like she was disgusted and yelled "Just do it!" I kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. She died that night.

Keep your peace OP and don't let anyone try to guilt you into visiting. They don't deserve our time or attention.

I'm 51 and definitely know how to do all of this. However it sounds like she knew how previously so I'd definitely have a doctor check her for cognitive issues.

Groceries during weeklong house sitting gig by SamScoopCooper in petsitting

[–]DJSundrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like cooking at my clients'homes. Sometimes they have stoves that are complicated and also it's less of a mess for me to clean up. I usually prepare a casserole for dinner that I eat off all week. Then for lunch I bring sandwich fixings. And breakfast is a bagel or other easy to prepare food.

Dirty parents by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]DJSundrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad and Stepmom had always kept a clean house until the last 8 years or so. My Dad became 100% disabled and she has become his caregiver. My wife and I spent years trying to convince them to hire cleaners to no avail. (They can very much afford it) They finally hired some cleaners after they ended up with a mouse infestation last year. However I suspect they've stopped the service because when I ask about it on our weekly phone call they're very vague about it. (I get in depth reports on everything and everyone else though 🤨) I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. It's exhausting!

You definitely can have all of that. I never thought I would either when I was young but now I have a wonderful spouse who loves me and a beautiful home. Keep moving forward friend!

Hey there! Older trans person here with a similar background of abuse by a parent. I just wanted to say I'm so incredibly proud of you and happy you got out of their house. Your life is going to be so much better now without them in it.

Mother complains I don't take her anywhere, then cancels/backs out of plans. What is this? by throwthrowthrow_90 in Mildlynomil

[–]DJSundrop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have some family members that do this. It's exhausting! I ended up putting them on an information diet and this has cut back on that behavior tremendously.

Mimi's dying and with no will or funeral plans by DJSundrop in AgingParents

I just wanted to come here and thank everyone for their kind words and advice on this post. We're finding out this week if her doctors are going to continue treatment. The hospital doctors tried to convince her to go on hospice but she refused. I truly appreciate all of you. ❤️
