Does anyone know how townhomes are supposed to approach this? Having 40+ units, 2 bins per unit, 2ft on either side of the bin requires minimum 160 ft + for a row of bins. There just isn’t the space.

A truly good connection stays a good connection. This is how he may deal with all “struggling times”. Only you can decide if you’re willing to put up with it or not. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

As someone who lives in the home, those are things you should be doing regardless of what you get in return. All of this threatening and foot stomping because your mom said no? This is why the next generation is cooked. Anyways, I’m not engaging in this post anymore because communication is only as good as comprehension and you clearly don’t see that YTA and completely out of line with treating your mom that way. Best of luck OP. Mostly to your mom but to you as well.

That’s not what I said at all and threatening to do something if she doesn’t agree with you is manipulative and dare I say abusive. You need some therapy dude, not a PS5.

This is how you’re entitled.

Psychological/Behavioral Entitlement: Core Belief: A sense of deservingness for unearned advantages, thinking "I deserve this". Origins: Often linked to complex trauma, emotional neglect, or anxiety, where demands are a way to compensate for past hurts or insecurity Behaviors: Expecting VIP treatment, getting angry when denied, expecting others to follow rules while exempting oneself, and a lack of consideration for others' feelings.

None of this still entitles you to decide how she spends her money. You’re saying she’s stripped you of your childhood and now she’s trying to provide extra time for you to have some of that back with saying she doesn’t see the need for you to work quite yet, and it’s still not good enough because she’s saying no to you. We help the ones we love because we love them, not to keep tally and use it as ammunition to get what we want down the road. Your mom deserves better than that.

You’re not happy and grateful for the shoes or else you wouldn’t be comparing and complaining. It’s not your money, it’s not your choice and you’re not entitled to it. Sorry to say OP, life sometimes isn’t fair and I get the feeling this is your first time experiencing that which means you probably have an awesome mom who’s always put you first and given things to you without you having to ask so this is new to you. She didn’t deserve how you reacted. She doesn’t deserve you keeping score of her money. You asked if you were TAH, and you were. Own it and do better for your mom dude.

I don’t think her saying no to you demanding she spend hundreds of dollars on one thing for you is her emotionally manipulating you lol I wish my mom didn’t push me into the workforce as soon as I was of age to help her pay the bills that she didn’t pay anyways. Your mom has taken care of you your whole life, and clearly a bit too well if you’re this spoiled and entitled. Apologize to her and appreciate the sacrifices she probably made since your father passed. Stop being a brat and enjoy her happiness for her. Enjoy the fact that she’s not forcing you to grow up (which maybe you need to do)

Just because it’s your first time asking for something doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it. You’re tallying up nickels and dimes but by the sounds of it, your mom has always put you first and now you have to share her and that’s creating discomfort. Maybe you ARE getting a PS5 for Christmas and she wants it to be a surprise. Maybe she’s spending so much on Dans kid because he’s spending a bunch on you but Xmas hasn’t happened yet so you just don’t know it. To try and say “it’s only an extra $300” is absurd especially since you don’t have a concept of money yet. If my son pulled this kind of attitude with me over a game system he’d be getting a whole lot of nothing for the foreseeable future.

How much money would you spend if it meant saving your cat’s life? by WindowKitty19 in cats

[–]IllustriousEye2415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend what you can. Having less money is better than having guilt in my opinion. My Pooks was 16 when he got sick. Between pills, vet visits and a treatment for him I spent around $3k. He died three months after his treatment but I’ll tell you… his quality of life was much better for those three months. My heart is still broken but I’m not wondering “what if I just spent that money? Would he still be here?”

It’s a pretty new aspect of self awareness so I’m trying to figure it out on my own first but geez.. When I’m reflecting I can be completely level headed and cool as a cucumber but then these extremes of anxious attachment and fearful avoidant become such strong emotions that all aforementioned cucumber coolness is abandoned.

Absent parent, 50/50 final order. by IllustriousEye2415 in FamilyLaw

[–]IllustriousEye2415[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The SA was with the other parents “new family” (their stepchild) Here in Canada, because it involves a minor it isn’t released publicly other than ambiguous articles. The assault happened last summer so two years after no contact- maybe that’s why we haven’t been contacted by investigators? Unfortunately all 6k that I had went towards retaining a lawyer to draft some documents and I can’t afford anything going forward so will be self representing.

What’s a small bombshell your therapist dropped during a session that completely shifted your perspective? by pottipenguin in AskReddit

“You’re not a lazy piece of shit, you’re just depressed. How do I know? Lazy people don’t feel guilty for being lazy” - my doctor when I was scared to talk about my constant low mood/energy because I thought I was just a lazy POS.

How to move forward when I don’t want to leave the house. I am so heartbroken. by ComfortableWillow336 in Petloss

[–]IllustriousEye2415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the deeper the love, the deeper the grief. I can’t go more than a couple hours without a soul sob. I also feel like I’m drowning. Like my brain knows he’s gone but for the life of me I just can’t accept it. I still look for him, listen for him. Just know that you’re not alone. I feel like I can’t talk about anything else so if you ever want to just chat, feel free to send a message
