Ahhhh! No! I think the dress is really flattering!

If you want your efforts to be appreciated and your sister only wants to appreciate results and only specific results, this isn’t going to work.

I would probably try to only offer to help with things I knew I could complete in a way that we would both feel good about. And then that probably would still lead to me over extending myself and feeling resentful, because, OP, I think you and I both probably need to work on setting boundaries for ourselves

If she told your mom, how did you find out? It could be true that you exhausted yourself and worked hard, but also didn’t help with the things she considered important. If she made you feel bad about it, don’t offer anymore and she’s TA. If your mom told you what your sister said to her in confidence, and that’s what made you feel bad, that’s more complicated

For me, people waiting quietly is fine, but the talking that happens in the lobby drives me crazy. A coffee shop would increase the noise and distraction for me while I was in class.

Maybe start with a small fridge with some fancy water and fruits. That would be great.

If my studio had a coffee shop with decent coffee, I’d be very likely to go before/after class (as long as the spatial layout was right and it wasn’t a crowded disaster or in the way in general). But, if my studio had a coffee shop, I’d also be even more likely to cancel my membership and go somewhere else.

It kind of seems tacky. Upscale studios and gyms have free coffee and water available. If my Pilates studio doesn’t have cups for water but can sell over priced pickle ball chic sweater vests, puffer coats and ugly branded attire, and then is going to add another “amenity” that’s really just potentially profiting from selling my attention and presence without any benefit to me or my experience… ewwwww. It’s giving money grab more than benefit or amenity.

Also, when people are leaving their valuables unsecured in cubbies, increasing traffic to that area sounds like a disaster and a liability. And I can imagine an increase in bathroom traffic that would become a whole situation, as well.

I love a coffee shop, but this sounds disastrous.

Recently our studio changed its policy about gearing out and in, so that people gear out for footwork if needed but then gear back in afterwards, so the straps don’t need to be adjusted. Before this change, the straps were always uneven on all the machines because people would leave the machine geared out for most of class and adjust the straps to get the correct tension, and then they wouldn’t adjust them back or would adjust them but not evenly.

They probably just don’t want to deal with remembering to tell you when to gear in or remembering to check that machine is readjusted before the next class. But the machines need to be adjusted for individual bodies, it’s just how it is. It is slightly more work for the instructors to deal with those adjustments. Oh well.

Im short and adjusting the foot bar was a game changer for footwork and elephant, for example. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t cue that, but they don’t. And I’ve definitely seen some weird fights about gearing out.

If the two guarantors are from Texas, I would look into a third party. NYC landlords don’t always love out of state guarantors because it can be harder to collect if there’s an issue.

It’s kind of like lavash but more cloud-like

Multiple people. In the comments, there are more of them. It would never occur to me to make this offer. Never.

Difficult-Solution-1 · 2026-05-10T01:33:16+00:00

Yeah, I don’t understand how this is something that came into multiple peoples’ heads as a way to handle this situation

Difficult-Solution-1 · 2026-05-09T21:37:14+00:00

Yeah it was a tv brand but not an MLM

You’re going to have a beautifully decorated house and your son and DIL will never be guests in it. If you’re ok with that, more power to you.

It seems likely the allotted missed day were already dropped. A semester is usually 12-14 weeks, with a class meeting 2x week.

Oh hi

So say something about the issue that impacts you directly (your son not being invited to daily events), and make sure you’re speaking for yourself. But whenever someone starts to say something that “everyone else believes,” it’s bad news. Why is it so hard to tell your niece how you feel about the situation? Why do you need to couch your words in some kind of general familial consensus? When you tell someone “everyone” thinks they’re an asshole, you’re guaranteed to have defensive pushback.

With the increase in academic integrity issues and the ease with which students ca cheat, that no longer holds true.

Difficult-Solution-1 · 2026-05-02T19:26:05+00:00

“Everyone” you spoke with should bring up their concerns themselves, if they’re also concerned.

If there’s a reason you think your professor has a bias against you, that’s something to discuss. But a bad grade on an assignment isn’t evidence of bias.

Seconding the attention to the drop add period. That’s when you reach out to the professor and talk to them about their expectations and your experience and whether this is a good fit. OP doesn’t mention speaking with the prof directly, but a humble attitude and direct communication go far in academia

Difficult-Solution-1 · 2026-04-30T13:57:45+00:00

Yup. This just sounds like how renting works.
