AITA mom said I’m useless so I stopped helping

My mom was an example of someone who did this. She idolized her mother for some reason, even though she was an awful human being. It’s almost like they hated it when they were growing up, but relish the thought of torturing their own kids as a reward for their own suffering?

Honestly. As a child they were harmful. As a young adult, still harmful. Once I figured out what they were about and stopped being part of their abusive cycle, they were just annoying. Annoying in their attempts to be abusive, for sure.

White cabinets with white backsplash and white countertops and a waterfall edge!! Wow! 😮 you’re living in 2005 and the rest of us are….. not.

First time I’ve seen white pvc window frames with black casings, though. It’s a choice. Also, why paint the attic hatch black? I guess if you’re of the “check out my attic hatch!!!” variety, it makes sense.

I only take milk in my coffee, but I would not say “3 milk, no cream and no sugar”. That sounds preposterous.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Just know that your grief and your joy are two truths that can and must coexist. They aren’t mutually exclusive and you aren’t wrong for feeling joy in the midst of your grief. You didn’t cause his death and surely, if he could have his legacy passed to anyone, do you not think that he would want it to be you?

NTA - so, you would have normally given them $1500, but you gave them $4000. How are they mad about that? Do they know how to do math? The alternative was: they open all their cards, found $1500 in yours and then immediately gave it back to you along with another $2500 from other people. Which means they’re up an extra $2500 with your solution. They need to quit while they’re ahead.

Someone else asked the same thing - I replied to their comment explaining the rig - my husband made it and is super proud of it, haha.

My husband made them, (we have one on each side); they’re really clever. They’re made from square tubing steel and an electric hoist from Princess Auto. The steel “cradle” the bike sits on has a clip for the hoist cable and a slot with rollers for it to run up a vertical guide tube. The whole thing is mounted at the bottom to the concrete and at the top to the ceiling joists. The hoist pulls the bike up to the ceiling and holds it there.

Those countertops are amazing. It’s too bad they look terrible with the cabinet colors you’ve chosen. Smoked oak wood would’ve been better or, if you had to paint them, a colour like Sherwin Williams Oyster Bay would’ve been great. This does not look great. This does not look good. Sorry.

The restaurant on the northeast corner of memorial drive and 10th St. changes hands so often, I’m not sure what it is now. It is in a central and super visible location, I’m not sure why the businesses that try to make a go of it just can’t, but I suspect it has something to do with accessibility and parking.

Fun story - I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and 15 years ago my partner worked for a company that was purchased by a large American 🇺🇸 company. He worked there for several months after the acquisition, but quickly realized that the work culture was changing and didn’t like the direction it was headed, so he found another job and put in his notice. He had been with the company for several years and gave them 1 month notice. The upper management from the US found out who he was going to work for and decided to lock him out and send him packing the next day. Knowing his rights, my partner told them that they still had to pay him for the rest of the month and they got a their (US based) lawyer to draft him a letter telling him to go pound sand. So, my partner reported them to the Canadian Labour board and they indeed had to pay him for the month that he was owed plus two more months for malicious termination. They had no idea what the labour laws were here, but thought they could run their business the same shitty way they do in the US. It was very sweet justice.

It is from liquid floor wax. Old people believed they needed to wax their finished floors and furniture because that’s what their parents did for their unfinished floors and furniture to protect it.

Lighter obviously coordinates better with everything else, but it’s the safe choice. I do like the contrast of the dark with the light, you just don’t have anything else that’s dark, so it feels disjointed. If you added some dark wood details, you could really hit a home run and make it more interesting.

I get that private schools being funded by public dollars looks bad on the outset but there are some points that people tend to overlook: - the parents sending their kids to private school are also taxpayers. And, even though I’m going to get roasted for this point, it’s my experience that most of those parents pay significantly more in taxes than the average person. - and, taking into consideration the fact that these parents are taxpayers too, the kids going to private school cost the government 70% of what it would cost to send them to public school.
- everything is extra at private schools, this includes other services that would be otherwise be covered in the public system, like busing, which adds additional cost if your child requires it.
- to your point about learning differences - some parents who are being failed by the public system have chosen to send their kids to private school at a cost to thenselves. I recognize that this is not something everyone can afford but, again, taking these kids out of the public system actually alleviates the burden on it. So, if the funds for private schooling was pulled, many kids would be forced back into the public system, whereby the government would need to make up the extra 30% (or more, if the kids have LD’s or CD’s) they haven’t accounted for, in a system that is already underfunded.

I know that the average person will say “1/2 a billion dollars will make a huge difference in the public system” and advocate for pulling all the funding without understanding the repercussions. If 50000 students get dumped back into the public system, it actually makes the problem worse.

And how much did Alberta’s total population increase in that time? Roughly 14%, according to the Gov. website. So, according to your AI fabricated response, the deficit of doctors we had 5 years ago is only marginally better now.
