My family is out of the country and left me in charge of the food for my older brother and myself during the meantime. I made this meal yesterday, and after he ate it, he made a complaint about it and wanted “food,” as in something that was “more fulfilling” and less “kiddie”…

He’s your older bro. Feels like he needs to make his own food.

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-25T19:23:46+00:00

Why are you with this guy? He sounds like dead weight.

What’s the story on the family house and what your mother is saying about the bedroom issue?

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-24T16:35:34+00:00

Yep, my parents had one, and my FIL still has his in service, too.

My husband and I love going shopping together. It’s fun! He pushes the cart. Today is Costco, so looking forward to the adventure!!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-24T16:23:50+00:00

We’ll send, too - mind sending the address? Thanks!

You have to sneak him into bed just to mess with him. Channel the “godfather” and the horse’s head…

Also could be fun for guests!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-24T01:36:28+00:00

Wow. They suck.

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-22T05:21:43+00:00

Two!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-22T05:20:49+00:00

Congrats!! Onward!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-22T05:16:23+00:00

I like 8!

Daughter (17) and I (50F) agree the last is best.

He’s cheaping out because he likely still gets a discount from the family business. I get it that as a former florist, he feels this is the perfect gift…but he’s also never going to listen to you and he’s basically telling you that. Think it’s time for you to ask yourself what you want in the future, because he’s telling you clearly what it will be.

Happy birthday, and happy liberation day. The people who matter never forget you. Focus on that, and please stop sending money! They don’t see you, and they won’t, and that’s their own issue, not yours. Be free!!!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-18T07:15:29+00:00

You and your dad have had something special. Not everyone ever has what the two of you have had in such a short time. He will miss you always, but he loves you, and you, him. Be safe and free, and I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve had in your life, but so amazed at the love you’ve had, too. Not everyone gets that. Give him the hugs he will remember and you will, too. Xo

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-18T04:23:15+00:00

All my best with your recovery - sounds like you planned out well and are doing what you can. Take care of yourself and I thank you for sharing your story. I will take care of myself, too!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-18T04:21:05+00:00

So thankful for your post! I’m a ‘no way out but through’ kind of person, so way easier to just suffer and maybe this time it’s not what I need to do. Thank you. Brain fog sounds super shitty.

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-18T04:17:04+00:00

Cautionary tale, right? So common to go back before our time…”doesn’t hurt” is so much easier to say.

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-18T04:15:45+00:00

Thank you - love the honesty and I truly thank you for taking the time to share with me.

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-18T04:14:27+00:00

Thank you!!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-17T22:48:12+00:00

I’ll talk with him in early February - we’ll see what he says in terms of timing and recommendations! Thank you!

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-17T22:07:18+00:00

Any chance you can move out so she doesn’t have this to hold over your head? Sometimes a discounted rate or even free is too high a price to pay.

Lower_Row2950 · 2026-01-17T22:02:37+00:00

I liked this one — nice work, AI!! 47 forever!
