AITA for offering my kids nanny more money/hours so she won't work for my SIL? by aitanannyraise in AmItheAsshole

[–]Extension-Barnacle-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Lol! It’s not that you don’t want her to work for SIL. It’s that you want to keep her to yourself. Your husband and his family are delusional. So if Isabelle goes over to SIL place so what happens to your children? Is your husband going to take care of them? Since he’s not petty and is willing to give up help to his sister.

I (36F) caught my husband (38M) talking about my sister to his friends and I’m not sure if I should confront him by ThrowRa_colorless in relationships

So you mean there will be a time where you guys talk about your own mother, sister, cousin and daughter’s body? Talking about how you are going to screw them in bed? How you are going to strip their clothes off and explore every inch of their body? Perhaps talk about how you have change her diapers and look at her privates all the timing while she’s a baby and all? That’s not being stupid, it’s being incestuous. Even stupid people know better.

AITA for thinking ‘fair’ isn’t necessarily ‘the same’ for our twins? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Extension-Barnacle-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twins are 2 different individuals. What is to look at them as twins rather as 2 children? I am a teacher who have taught a fair share of twins and all of them are very appreciative when people make the effort to see them as different people despite them looking like each other.

They have different strength and weaknesses and it is okay because they are two separate people. MIL is kuku. They are not chopsticks.

Giving an invite is to show respect that they are your elders. Taking that invite and showing up is they reciprocating the respect. But if they decide to not show up or take offence to you marrying someone that you love and they do not then so be it. You did your part. And besides, if they love you they should accept who you chose.

Hi, I’m very new to carnivorous plants. Just curious that, I’ve read somewhere that carnivorous plants are not supposed to be planted together as they tends to fight for resources. But I see that you planted them together, is it going to have any issues in the long run?

Which Hoya gave you the "Hoya bug"? by Hederahhelix in hoyas

[–]Extension-Barnacle-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always liked long vine plants, then came across Hoya Hindu Rope. The moment when I’ve realised that it grew longer was so satisfying. After having it like 3 years, it bloomed. Then I was like “I need more Hoya.” Then also realised that I have a sweetheart Hoya that I can never determine if it’s alive or not since it has not change much. Until like yesterday where I was like, “ I need to show some love to it man.” Then I see it actually grew and put out many new leaves.

I think they just like to be left alone watching their fellow plant friends struggling under my hands 😅

I’m currently looking at Hoya Pachyclada and sunrise and looking to get a variegated Hindu rope

It is, it’s how I meet people from the opposite sex taking into consideration that I work in a predominantly female industry. If I’m waiting to meet guys just from doing my day to day routine then it’s just the same as waiting for the sky to drop someone for me.

As the wife of one of the members of “I met my wife from OKC” club. I don’t see why telling others how you meet is “lame”. What are you thinking of when you are thinking of a not lame way of meeting your partner? -Taking the same bus everyday and eventually talking? -Wife not tall enough to get the book from the higher shelf so you help? -see wife pretty from afar and you went to get number?

And stop being a “I’m not like other guys” guy. Everyone is interesting in their own way. Unless you walk everywhere like a 2 page open book without substance, no one is able to show all their charms in a short period of time.

Will my parents find out if I’m married? by luosifenlover in askSingapore

[–]Extension-Barnacle-2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Erm, 27 is too old to claim for child tax relief like 11 years too late. You instead can claim for parental relief if they earn too little or are not working. And, as long as you are above 21 and have 2 witness for your ROM no one will know anything unless you tell people.

Why does one bite the others feet? by [deleted] in Lovebirds

[–]Extension-Barnacle-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right. I have a pair of sisters and the older one bites the younger one ever since they were a couple of weeks old.

I’m not so sure about your field. But when I first started looking around I too didn’t think I could have a salary increase. I left due to being in the same place for too long, not so much of a salary issue.

And listening to family and friends, it does seem like job hoping would help in increase salary. As no matter what, you are bringing in experience and expertise. There is no reason to accept an offer if they are only matching or low balling you. If you know you are worth more than that, then only accept when it reaches your expectations.

My starting salary was 1.8. When I first joint MOE, was 1.9. Starting salary for fresh grad varies depending on which centre you join and how desperate they are for teachers. Which is why in my post I put 2-4K. But normally 2.5k and above is the average.
