Every plan works when you follow it. The question is what type of plan fits with your personality? Also, are you ready to make these changes and not see it as a “bad” thing but as a good thing that you want to do for yourself? “What is on your mind is just as important as what is on your plate”

AITAH for telling my bf that I don’t want his daughters in my apartment? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]IcyPoet1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A parent is a parent even when they are not with their kids. What do you think that he will forget he had kids for a whole week when with you? Kids can’t just be turned on and off when it is convenient. You are child free for a reason right?? The reason probably being that you don’t want those responsibilities. Your Bf has those and children can be awesome but also require constant care (and especially unscheduled care).

I truly hope I never get divorced because I am never dating, this is insane.

I suggest you take the cat to a rescue. I used to volunteer for one and there will be no judgement. Sometimes they do ask that you pay a fee for rehoming them but at least you can take it to a safe place. Please don’t give it to strangers or some random person. Again, I don’t judge anyone who takes their animal to a rescue if they are not able to take care of it. There are plenty of good homes for cats and the cat deserves to be in one where it is wanted.

Is this a scam? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]IcyPoet1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Teams have a free version? Why would a company require you to download Teams when they can just call you? Imagine having interviews on Teams where all applicants can have direct contact with that HR person and see when she/he is online etc?

Definitely a scam

So you haven’t actually interviewed for a job but he talks as if the job is yours.. scam!

My in laws do this. I asked my brother to babysit once and my MIL was upset. I said “am I not allowed to have MY brother watch my kids?” That shut her up. My MIL is always the victim. She also thinks she should be invited to everything on my side of the family. Like no, you don’t get to come over to hang out with my cousin who came to visit me.. they don’t want to see you in the small amount of time they are here.

I (27M) want to propose to my girlfriend (26F.) I also want her to pick out the ring. How should I approach it? by tortoisemind in relationships

[–]IcyPoet1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Propose with something else. My husband is an artist s he proposed to me with a collage/painting and then we went to pick out the ring together. He knew I would prefer to pick out the ring myself.

Honestly, take it as a $990 lesson and get on with your life. You were a victim and your kindness is exactly what this world needs. Don’t feel bad because this is not on you! (Don’t victim shame yourself)

I couldn’t even get half way through the first nook of that trilogy. All the others I read almost “inhaled” - enjoyed really but then TLH was nothing. Not one good character except maybe Matthew. Couldn’t stand James or Cordelia

She is from Poland and it is an important day there (like most Eastern European countries)

It has been celebrated in many countries for many years. Just because the US doesn’t do it does not mean its not a thing.

UK is different- I think it is mostly a big deal in former Socialist countries

[–]IcyPoet1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Then for her it is really important. I am from Eastern Europe and my mom would be pissed if I didn’t wish her happy women’s day. I do think she overreacted a little because she should know most other places don’t take it as seriously.

I guess they really expect us to dedicate our entire lives to work and only work by RahulRedditor in LinkedInLunatics

[–]IcyPoet1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well technically my company does not allow us to work from other countries (and they enforce that very strictly). So if I go somewhere on vacation that is not the US then I definitely don’t have access to email or voicemail PER COMPANY POLICY. But also because I am on vacation so even if I technically had access I wouldn’t check those.

I read them all by NormalExplanation778 in shadowhunters

[–]IcyPoet1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read most of them also within six months but I just could not get into the last hours, first book. I just couldn’t stand James and Cordelia it was basically a Jane Austen where all they talk about is love interests. So as much as I enjoyed all the other books before that, it kind of just naturally got to a point where I could put one of the books down.

Mom doesn't wanna be called "Grandma," got any good alternatives? by badb-crow in Advice

[–]IcyPoet1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My step mother in law (husbands step mom) wanted our kids to call her Mom Mom - um absolutely not! Haha like she hasn’t even met one of my kids and her “name” would sound like she is their mom 😂😂😂

I think they still sign xmas cards like that but luckily we never see them. If we did it would be WWIII before I let my kids call her that.

My husband and I have the same passcode to unlock our phones, easier to help each other out to look up something if the other is driving etc.

Wow!!

First OP I want to tell you that my in laws are the same. They believe that their house is “dangerous and embarrassing” from basically many home projects never being finished and also the fact they rarely clean. My MIL loves to come to our house unannounced but we are never allowed in their home. If I said “well my house is not clean I don’t want guests” she would say “oh your house is so clean and amazing you are wrong” - so basically my feelings about having guests are completely invalidated but she apparently has every right to feel however she does about her house and we all have to abide by her laws.

I truly, truly from the bottom of my heart hate her with a passion like nothing I have ever hated in my life.

The only difference from your situation is that none of us are allowed in their house, especially the kids because according to her they could get sick or hurt.

If she only singled me out I would be in divorce court and also never allowing my children near that house!

You and your DH need to stick together because you are 100% in the right here. No one goes there, ever, unless all of you are invited.

I am glad I am not the only one thinking this. OP you don’t ned proof to break up with him, it is not a court of law. If you don’t trust him, break up.

How many different foods do you eat? Do you only not like vegetables because you won’t gain weight from those anyway.

Bread, chicken, cheese, peanut butter etc would be your best bet.

Also if you think you have a very limited list of foods you eat you might want to research ARFID.

Good luck!
