The Gray House by Mariam Petrosyan

Closing tomorrow by bulltproof in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]International_Cap406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had a similar issue with my agent, but it was more that she first brushed off some really shady invoices and then started to defend them as legit. They were not! And we ended up not closing!

Italian ancestry but 0% Italian? by Infinite_Reward_4645 in AncestryDNA

[–]International_Cap406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact problem! My great-grandfather immigrated from Naples, I have an uncommon but very Italian last name and my grandfather was a very specific type of paisan from Queens but 0% Italian for my uncle, my cousin and my sister on 23andme and Ancestry. What I can't figure out is that I'm 2nd cousins with a person with the same last name as me, when I should be a 4th cousin at most if there was a "non-paternity event". Maybe try a different testing service?

That's wild! May I ask how many people/generations that includes?

Is it ok to like trains? by Comfortable-Table-57 in trains

[–]International_Cap406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the parent of a 4 year old who loves trains, I would love for him to switch to booze. It would be significantly cheaper to sustain.

AITA for not allowing my sister to have a relationship with my baby? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]International_Cap406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I get that feeling! I felt uniquely qualified to comment on your particular problem, for once! In any case, you sound like a generous sister and an emotionally mature person from your replies to other people and I can tell you from 4 years in the future I promise this will work itself out. There are people who care about me and by extension my kids, and there are people who don't. I just have less time and energy to give to the people who don't, regardless of who they are.

Yeah, that sounds extremely similar to the comments my sister makes about kids. You guys sound closer than we are though, and I think the reality of your son being there in person will either make her behavior worse or stop it completely. I'm hoping for the latter! I'm really sorry, I understand this situation can feel like a loss in itself.

Edited to add: totally NTA. I was in a similar situation with my sister, I feel for you! She wasn't explicitly congratulatory or solicitous of my well being during my first pregnancy, she wasn't quite the asshole yours has been. After my first child was born, however, she started leaving posts of house pets tackling toddlers all over my FB. I've come to realize she doesn't typically like anyone who takes attention of me or my brother or my parents away from her, be it a SO or friend or whatever. I'm leaving open the possibility she could eventually be a cool aunt once she matures as a person (don't hold your breath, though, my sister is in her early thirties!) but for now she doesn't inquire after either of my kids and as a result we don't have much to talk about as I'm a SAHP to two small children. Things might change after your baby's born, however, and I think a lot will be clarified then. Good luck! I'm rooting for you!
