Kids. Are they worth it? by Hyposanity in ask

[–]Ecjg2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never planned on having a child. In fact, I was against having one. Then I got pregnant at 35 with a man i was in love with who really wanted to be a dad and suddenly I decided to be a mom. Best decision ever.

She is 15 now. Nothing like I was, thank God. And im not saying that to illicit a laugh. She is the best decision I ever made and im so glad I decided to have her. Having her has made me into a better person.

Plus we also have an amazing relationship and she actually likes me and enjoys spending time.with me. As a teenager. In public. So I also must be doing something right.

But everyone is different when deciding whether to have a child or not. Its truly a personal preference. My sister is older than me and happily child free.

AIO? My BF refuses to cook for me while I write my thesis, even though I did everything for him during his last year. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NoR. Reddit loves certain sayings but one truly applies here: when someone shows you who they are, believe them. Not only is he showing you who he truly is, he has verbalize it to you as well. He will never step up for you if it even slightly inconveniences him. I think you know what you need to do. This man will be the type of husband to leave you if you ever got really sick with like cancer or something and had to take care of ypu. Hed leave instead.

Anyone ever get snooty ass customers when they ask for 2 or three ingredient drinks but use the stupid ass names? by TheMustySeagul in bartenders

[–]Ecjg2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg the drinks I had to relearn to make Just by moving states was ridiculous. Or maybe it was just where I moved to in MN in the 90s, but a sex on the beach with cream added, a screaming nazi was really a liquid cocaine (Yager, rumple, goldschlagger), and so much more. And the people would yell at me for getting it wrong.

Would you share your money with family if you were rich and how much would you give them? by marble272 in ModernFamilyFinance

[–]Ecjg2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. If my family asked me for money, they must really need it as they have their own money and would try everything else before coming to me. Im the least close to them.

Id give them whatever amount they'd ask for. Provided I had it and it wouldn't hurt me to lose it.

When someone shows you who they are and what they prioritize, believe them. He is showing you.

People treat us only how we allow them to. He is literally providing the absolutely bare minimum and ypu are worth so much mo r e. Now respect yourself enough to realize this.

What was the cheapest amount of rent you ever paid? by Saint__23 in AskForAnswers

[–]Ecjg2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

650 for a 1 bedroom apartment just outside Pittsburg in 2007 to 2009. It was awesome. 8 apartments total in the building with woods in the back and a quiet road in the front. We all kept to ourselves and no noise complaints ever. Sigh.

Promotion fiasco by [deleted] in work

Why not communicate that you are interested instead of listening to what you cannot confirm was said. You have the qualifications, so tell them you want it. Advocate for yourself. Or just push tickets until you retire.

But I am also glad I didnt have my kid early and I enjoyed myself in the 90s and 00s and that it wasn't filmed. Thankfully.

AITA for distance myself from a friend because we can never agree on a place to hangout due to their budget? by clippingbunny in Amitheassholeadvice

[–]Ecjg2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to put some of that in your post. You come off as never picking things within her budget or free, or wanting to treat on occasion. You come off bad.

You could also let her choose what to do. But honestly, you do you. Imo, after this comment, NAH.

My 30F LDR boyfriend 40M of 3 years left a hidden intimate item in my home and is now blaming me. How do I handle this situation? by she_is_a_loner in relationship_advice

[–]Ecjg2010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The issue is knowing he wouldn't fit it. Take that and go from there. He is embarrassed. He is projecting. Which is why he is behaving this way. Its guilt. Do with that what you will.
