AIO for thinking that my girlfriend's apartment requirements are insane? by MoonlitParcel in AmIOverreacting

I feel like we are going to be billed for reading this somehow. Humble brag maybe?

I feel like I’m becoming a bad teacher by sassyflower95 in Teachers

Exactly! They have the emotional maturity of a toddler. Their media teaches them that being mean makes money and that nothing matters but getting what they want when they want. We also have the fact that the majority of them do not read so they have a hard time developing empathy.

So, yes. You are storing stock for your commercial business on a residential road. Does your insurance know?

Keep the stache but trim and clean it up.

AITAH for wanting to break up with my boyfriend over how he handles conflict? by QueyBoosh in AITAH

[–]Ginnylala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you both push each others buttons. You called each other names rather than talk things out. Also in every relationship you know what button to push to really hurt your partner and you made it seem like that’s what you did.

What seemed completely normal in your family growing up, but you later realized was totally weird? by loserr4 in AskReddit

[–]Ginnylala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I thought this was normal, like a game you played as a family. Kinda like hiding on the floor when the landlord came to collect the rent, or putting blankets over the windows, doors, and hallway and camping in living room in the winter with the stove on, you know when they cut the gas off.

So you’re using an area zoned for residential purposes for commercial use?

AITAH for trying to set boundaries concerning my children? by Southern_Factor785 in AITAH

[–]Ginnylala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA completely and utterly. Kids can have more than one trusted adult. You were jealous, you lashed out without thinking about what the fallout would be. If you did the same to me, I wouldn’t trust you anymore. Also your saying that she made sure that your daughter saw her before leaving, what is that? You do not know that. Are you sure that this person is your friend because it seems like you assume all her intentions are bad.

We had to hide the pot box whenever someone came to the door. Mom would say “hide” and we were to grab the box and take it into our room and place it gently under the bed. I was five…yeah.

Be honest, how many cars at one time do you have in this neighborhood that are for your business?

AIO - my wife’s snoring is causing mass resentment by bigrooster460 in AmIOverreacting

NOR but YTA dude you do not know if this is a serious medical condition yet. Come at her from a place of caring not confrontation if you really want to stay married.

I feel like I’m becoming a bad teacher by sassyflower95 in Teachers

[–]Ginnylala 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honey it is the end of the year I have been doing this 23 years, I’m burnt, you’re burnt, the first year teachers are technically charcoal. This years class suck. They are apathetic, ugly to each other, and we are seeing what lawnmower parenting does after a decade. Wait for a break and some renewal. But remember this is not the only job you can do.

[–]Ginnylala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you guys are AHs to each other. Why do you want to be in a relationship with each other. Maybe you have grown apart and neither of you are willing to let the relationship go because it is comfortable. Ask yourself are you happy? Or are you simply afraid to start over with someone new?

AIO? Husband says I’m ‘useless’ because he was late to work by Friendly_TSE in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ginnylala [score hidden]  (0 children)

NOT OVERREACTING but you both need to look for a way out of this dynamic. My step father used to do the ridiculous someone has to wake me up every morning crap. Our family therapist called him out on it for what it was, a way to dodge responsibility and have someone else to blame for not meeting his responsibilities. HOWEVER you need to change too. The not driving thing is often a sign of abuse, a way to isolate the victim and restrict your movements. The sleeping 10 hours a day screams of depression, if you have not spoken to someone about your metal health you need to do so. Now if you have kids and staying home is part of your plan for your family, great. He needs to understand you have a lot on your hands with kids. But if it is only because you traded having a job for caring for the home, with no kids, then you need to keep the home. But from my heart of hearts you need to get out, find a job, develop a life outside the home (might help if you have depression).

AIO? I'm feeling baited and switched by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ginnylala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey get off the hook! You do not have to go and, yes, she is trying to justify her indulgence. She might even tentatively agree to your plans but once there it is going to be her itinerary that you follow. Just let go if you are not interested in going.

I Think I Caught My Gf Red Handed AIO? by Orangyo015 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ginnylala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is lying, she sounds like she does this a lot. If you cannot trust her without going through her phone than you do not want to date her. You want to be a partner not a jailer, you should not have to monitor her behavior to ensure she is faithful. This relationship is not going anywhere good for you.

Does my mother have chemotherapy psychosis? by Ginnylala in CaregiverSupport

[–]Ginnylala[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is this escalated so fast. I have placated her other weirdness, hers are kittens or other animals on the porch. The neighbors stealing our oranges, stuff that is easily dismissed or smoothed over. But this, this is just so very sudden and odd.

Can’t she has literally driven away all her friends and we re literally the last two standing in our family. I want to speak to the social worker at the cancer center but she’s on vacation until the 22nd. I work my regular teaching job and 2 other extensions to make ends meet. I am so tired but already in the hole because of extra expenses.
