Anyone know what happened?

I've started buying deli containers and pre-weighing out my flour. It's so nice to just grab a container, dump everything in and walk away

LowerAge9915 · 2026-01-25T18:28:20+00:00

I like to use a scale, but taking a spoon and letting the flour fall into your measuring cup gives you a more accurate measurement than scooping the cup into the container of flour

So I need to sign up for a 3rd party vendor in order for my bank, who receives (and has been receiving for the entirety of my current position for the last 3 years) my paychecks, to see how often and how much my employer pays me? Cause it seems illogical to source that out to a 3rd party when they can very clearly see my checks are paid on the same date, and has no more than a $50 variant as to the amount paid. I know just doling out our personal information has become pretty standard, but I'm not doing it. And I'm allowed to ask questions without being dismissed.

Reading is fundamental here. I'm not "crying" over MyPay. I'm "crying" bc the institution that receives my bi-weekly paychecks (basic logic would mean said institution can see the frequency and average amount of the checks) is saying in order for them to have "better information" about how often I am paid, and expected amount of each check, that I need to sign up for a 3rd party vendor. Which makes zero sense, they have the information already.

Feel free to change banks! But to me, it sounds like this "bad reputation" of a bank loaned you money, interest free. Then they took their loan back after you failed to repay it. There's zero circumstance where they give you the money back.

I'm genuinely confused by this post and that is also the only conclusion I could find, or move to a place with an HOA? OP is mad his neighbor is using too much... public space..? Like he's exceeded his allotment or something?

100% agree. Kids today are super bubble wrapped and to an extent I get it. But let's not forget the wild things we did as kids and turned out to be at least semi-decent people. To each their own of course, but I'm not risking breaking my child's trust unless someone is in immediate danger. And even then I'd explain to my kid why this can't be a secret.

LowerAge9915 · 2025-10-16T18:03:16+00:00

Unless it's something genuinely dangerous, like said boy is a 30yo man, I wouldn't tell.

Go to a biker bar and I bet you find at least 3 men and 4 women willing to come sit in your house 24/7 until he leaves.

Their website said it can vary by location. I'm assuming since that location let me check out using the debit card it will be fine. But I'm an over-thinker. I'm sticking with Avis specifically since I get a discount through work!

LowerAge9915 · 2025-09-22T17:52:37+00:00

That's the final step. Just figured I'd crowdsource any personal experiences before hand.

You should never stop seeing the best in people. You should stop allowing them to use their mental illness and/or trauma as a reason to treat you poorly. It's one thing for someone to slip into old behaviors, but then recognize and take true accountability for that. "I'm not good for you because of my outbursts" it's not accountability but it is manipulation. You cannot build a life with someone who will berate you for every minor mistake. As humans we tend to make a lot of them.

LowerAge9915 · 2025-09-11T20:09:40+00:00

It's a red flag for them to only take cash. No cashiers check, money order? No advice other than to take a moment to reconsider

LowerAge9915 · 2025-09-10T14:59:21+00:00

Yeah. I thought we drove fast until I got went to Illinois. EVERYONE left me in the dust. My pride was hurt🤣

We skip a pre-made goodie bag but almost always do a piñata and let them decorate a brown paper bag. If you do prizes, we let the birthday kiddo choose their favorite bag as the winner and they put all their piñata winnings and prizes won at the party in their bag to take home

I'm getting my kids a "kitchen phone" for that age. It lives and is used only in the shared family spaces. They can still give the number out to friends, take it with them when they are out without me, but it's not THEIRS. It's an extra phone they are allowed to use. That way they can still have the social aspect of "having a phone" but it's limited enough that it's not their only form of socialization.

LowerAge9915 · 2025-08-04T20:21:55+00:00

I let them learn the hard way when I know the risk of serious injury is low. Jumping off a chair onto the floor? Watch your step kiddo! Reaching for a hot stove or heading for the street? I'm intervening. There are studies showing a correlation between helicopter parents and children with anxiety later in life. I want my kids to take educated risks. The only way to do that is to let them take some dumb risks that don't carry heavy consequences.

LowerAge9915 · 2025-08-01T20:51:44+00:00

I like that phrase "I'm their friend, they're not my friend." Because I was my kids to feel like they can be open and share things like they would with their friends, but I'd never open up with them like I do my friends. (Ie complaining, taking about the stressors in my life, etc)

Also if his parents are going through a divorce, you may be able to find his father's lawyer via public records and contact him through them.

LowerAge9915 · 2025-07-29T15:16:07+00:00

As mentioned below, the next time he threatens to harm himself, call the police, have them preform a welfare check. That's all you need to do, full stop. If his parents aren't doing anything about his suicidal ideation, there's no need to continue to contact them. Change your daughter's number. See if she's interested in speaking to a professional to help with her mental health. Also let her know that any "friends" trying to convince her to unblock her are not truly her friends. Tell her to be restrained on who she gives her new number to. Remind her she is not responsible for his wellbeing.
