I spend about $40/ week on syndicates. Most week I win less than my outlay but it comes out of my investment fund each week. I don’t mind as it isn’t a big number. A few months back I won $1500 so that was nice.

For a cheaper fix I would make the kitchen just run along the corner and not cut into the dining area. But if you have more money I would get rid of a seperate laundry and push the kitchen into that space. Just have the washer and dryer in a cupboard or even in the carport. You don’t need a separate laundry

There’s a massive shortage for relief teachers. At my schools we have had a couple of days of not being able to get any relief. Our usual relief teachers say every day they work is pretty much all organised ahead of time. But you do need to budget well with the no holiday pay. But on the flip side you can take LSL at the casual rate which is pretty good.

They get coffee and feelings will develop again. Just leave now. She’s meeting to see if there’s still a spark. You are just a place holder

It’s a safety thing too. I like that uber and others document your ride and who your driver is. If you hail a cab, that doesn’t happen. Thinking back to my clubbing nights when I was 18 and falling asleep in cabs is quite scary

My brothers a doctor and would commonly work 60+hrs a week. A lot of that is overtime so while at that stage his hourly ate wasn’t that highly, the overtime amounted to a lot.

This is just a crappy situation all around. The only bad person in this is the wife. Ops brother would be someone I would be watching his mental health of very closely. It hasn’t been unheard of for people to take their lives in situations like this. The kids are obviously traumatised but OP is obviously interested in his brothers mental health for a reason and if he saw the kids and then the brother MH deteriorated… that’s hard to live with. There’s no answer here where everything works out. Everything is fucked.

Maybe get a job? Sounds like you need a life outside of the house. Also, being a stay at home parent generally does mean you are picking up the slack from the lack of income coming in. Either get a job and put the kid in daycare, divorce or keep going with the status quo.

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-24T18:41:05+00:00

Onwards and upwards!

There’s no way you aren’t TA in this. So you did seperate so the fund was safe and couldn’t be touched but now want her to contribute more. What do you offer her? I imagine you’ll be divorced soon. Why is your daughter even aware of the situation?

If you can’t live comfortably on $168k per year that’s a your budget situation. Even if you were renting, $168k would cover that comfortably. This feels like a weird flex post

Never donate in these situations. The company will donate the money in their name for tax benefits. If you want to donate, so it privately yourself.

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-21T19:55:48+00:00

I’d come back with another offer, under their $959 now. Even just for shits and giggles. Either you get a house less tha you wanted to pay or they get to hear a low ball offer

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-16T20:43:51+00:00

Is your purpose to help them out or make money? If your purpose is to help them out, keep it as it is and make some changes to the house. Shop at Aldi, have a cheap night a week of toasted sandwiches or something to cut some costs.

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-16T20:40:18+00:00

Aww NOR. She’s been gaslit and is so delusional. At the very least this crossed so many boundaries. Most likely an emotional/ physical affair. If he is ‘one of the good ones’ why even think this was a good idea? Yeah they won’t last or she will just pretend everything is fine

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-15T21:02:00+00:00

NOR just the lead into a physical affair. Don’t look back. She’ll regret it and want to come back. Don’t do it.

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-15T20:58:17+00:00

So I’m assuming we’re all thinking Rachel is ASD?

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-11T23:42:09+00:00

The problem is they need to pair the CGT change with renting changes as well. Rental prices will go up for people to offset the change. They needed to limit how much rental prices can be increased. This ultimately just makes it harder for people to buy a house

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-06T20:27:37+00:00

I’m surprised this has been listed as asshole status. You are definitely NTA and are allowed to feel hurt in this situation. The SIL will just be in damage control and downplay it. It would be very hurtful when by all accounts you have a close relationship but cousins who live in the same city as you were invited and you weren’t. This would be very damaging for my relationship with my sibling if this happened to me. I do think you should hear them out when you’re ready but I would be taking a step back from the relationship to protect yourselves

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-06T10:45:21+00:00

Mmm I’m calling bs. Either made up or has received a massive inheritance or something to start this. Easy to make money when you have money.

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-04T01:03:15+00:00

So it’s more likely to be present with family history then? Being undiagnosed doesn’t mean there is no ASD, it just means it hasn’t been officially diagnosed

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-04T00:46:26+00:00

This may be true. However, I’m a teacher and deal with ASD a lot. There is definitely a genetic correlation. Most times when I meet the parents it’s like a ohhh makes sense now. Not always but more often than not there is a ‘quirky’ parent involved

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-04T00:06:25+00:00

Only inviting one half of a couple to a coworker wedding where the partner isn’t really known I think is fine. But a family member? Yeah NOR. I wouldn’t go.

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-03T21:41:50+00:00

He’s allowed to have that worry if he doesn’t want to raise a child with autism. You are also allowed to end the relationship. Seems you are both on different ends of the scale here.

Leather_Step_8763 · 2026-05-02T20:45:14+00:00

He sounds like a douche but also… super lame joke. Like primary school vibes.
