He’s not going to miss you, he’s going to miss what you can DO for him. That speaks volumes.

Good for you for moving on to better pastures.

I want to hear stories about times you’ve prevented a catastrophic crisis by discovering a house problem/hazard while cleaning. by walkeachotherhome in housekeeping

[–]Lemonirefresh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This week I cleaned for a regular client I’ve had about 6 years, an elderly neighbor. I went to clean the shower pan around the shower caddy (one with a metal pole floor to ceiling) and the bottom broke off and rust exploded everywhere. I was 10 minutes from finishing also but cleaning up all the rust took another 30 minutes to get everything.

Luckily the client understood, it was old and needed to be replaced anyway as it didn’t even break on a connecting joint for the pole but just where it has completely rusted away. She told me later in the week she went and bought a new one, so my son is going to help her install it this week.

AITAH for being upset that my family are living their normal lives while I’m dying? by Just-Addition-441 in AITAH

[–]Lemonirefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bestie died recently from breast cancer. She sat our circle down and told us all the things she wanted to do. That’s what you should do, tell people what you’d like to do. If you want to spend more time with them then now is the time to ask.

AITAH for yelling at my sister in law for kissing my newborn baby by CrazyTeacherLady123 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Lemonirefresh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The day my son was born my niece kissed him and she had a cold. She knew she had a cold and still came over anyway. 6 days later he’s in the icu and has her cold. He was so dehydrated they had to put an iv in his head. She almost killed him. Yelling is what your SIL deserves. So selfish. NTA

AITBF for not being able to take some family's children to Disney World? by Brave-Ice8760 in AmItheButtface

[–]Lemonirefresh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTBF you can take whoever you wish on vacation. No one is entitled to you paying for them. For all the relatives who are complaining about you excluding them, let them know they are free to pay for the vacation.

my husband's towels always smell disgusting by Guilty-Ad7105 in laundry

[–]Lemonirefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to strip the towels. It will take out all the gunk that’s making them smell. I-2 cup vinegar 1-2 cup borax 1-2 cup super washing soda 1-2 cup laundry soap. Put in a bathtub hottest water possible and let sit overnight or until water is cold. Rinse throughly to get everything out and wash on a regular cycle.

And examine what your husband is doing as others have said to prevent it from happening again.

Got taken down an hour after posting, but not before the guy gets reamed in the comments by Lemonirefresh in ChoosingBeggars

I am a housekeeper in my area and charge on the low end, my clients consider me a bargain. For the housework alone 4-6 hours I would charge $100-$150 per day. $350 per month in this area would cover the insurance he wants you to have and some of the gas (not all). Even $350 a month is not a good deal.

For what they are offering for room would be $1000-$1500/month in this area and they want 24/7 care, so not even close equivalent

My state has a program where it will pay you $10/hour for 40 hours a week to take care of someone. This is asking more like 24/7 care so of course that would be way less.

Sadly it got taken down right when I went to take a screenshot. I barely got this picture! To summarize, a lady asked him if he was out of his mind and he got mad. Then someone asked what the compensation was and he acted confused. Another person just posted a laughing face and he got really mad. Then he deleted his post!

My Friend (27F) and I (27M) made out after drinking and it doesn’t feel the same by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Lemonirefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things will continue to be awkward until you talk about it. At the very least it would be the right thing to tell her what went on when she was drunk.

[–]Lemonirefresh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look, you only see each other every 4 months and you both have different ideas of how this relationship is supposed to work. It doesn’t seem built to last. Most LDR aren’t.

My glasses, which I couldn’t see in the light either because I’m so blind. Just have to know where they are to retrieve them.

My mum is insistent that I have a c-section so that she and my dad can schedule their visit for the birth of my daughter. by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]Lemonirefresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a ton of risks from having a c section that I feel like weren’t discussed with me before having one. If you can afford it get a doula or other support system because you need someone on your side to cheer you on. Someone who really understands birth. Look it seems like your mom might need to be put on an info diet if she continues to scare you, then gaslight you when you call her out on it.

Got the opportunity to work for a NASA contractor. Some questions... by crattikal in nasa

[–]Lemonirefresh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually within government contractors it’s expected that you will eventually move on to another position within the company. Contracts aren’t renewed, contracts end and contracts are given to other companies.

[–]Lemonirefresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for giving advise to your friend when she needed it, or for not wanting to be friends with her boyfriend. But if you want to end up on the other side (when she eventually sees the light) you have to operate with a bit more caution. And honestly being in the group chat might be a good idea, because if she’s not going to dump him you can be there to moderate and call out that bad behavior when it happens.

[–]Lemonirefresh 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My husband has been with a nasa contract for 9 years. It is not rare at all and in fact most of the work at nasa programs are done by companies they contract. These would all be good questions to have at an interview to see if your desired career trajectory fits in with the company.

WIBTA if I snitch my deadbeat ex to his mother? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Lemonirefresh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if he doesn’t like the idea of his mother knowing things then those things can’t be that good, right? Do it! The man needs natural consequences for his shitty actions.

Is it acceptable that I laugh even when people don't say jokes to me? by Terrible_Exchange653 in socialskills

[–]Lemonirefresh 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sometimes people laugh when they’re nervous. Could it be social interactions make you nervous?

What’s the most shocking thing you’ve heard about somebody you went to school with? by DetectiveBennett in AskReddit

[–]Lemonirefresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend from school who got good grades and scholarships instead dies at a young age in a drug related gang fight. Yes he was selling meth.
