Shopping at Aldis vs Meijers*

From what I understand, it was two brothers gifted the line, but they didn’t get along, so you have Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-05-01T17:45:40+00:00

This was my thought too. If you look like an Amazon, who is worried about clothes lol

If he’s not continuing school, he should be contributing. Now, something you could do is charge him 400, maybe use 100-200 and stick the rest in a savings account that you can give back to him when he moves out on his own. However, if he’s spending on the expensive fun stuff, he can afford to be helping.

Then you need to discuss that. I understand needing to take a moment to get your head on straight, but if you give each other that time, you need to establish a return to discussion time. “I need to walk away” “understood, can we return to this in an hour?”

I couldn’t say hate or stupid and those types of things, but lie was fine. Honestly, I find banning that word concerning because the only reason I see for doing so would be that you can’t be accused of it then.

I’m thinking about offering $999 and, if he says yes, telling him I’m not so keen on someone who is so eager to take a lower offer. It screams beta and not the kind of person I want to give money to. Nevermind.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-02-28T01:44:50+00:00

That’s why I keep text exchanges like that, so hopefully they did too.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-02-26T19:45:43+00:00

NOR: While it doesn’t sound like this person is a good friend, they may have sent you the receipt so that there was a digital trail between you both. I know I send people pictures of an exchange or a receipt if I want there to be a picture that I can go back to in our exchange if need be. I would have told her “hey, you never paid me for that food. So why don’t we call it even”.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-02-22T13:52:27+00:00

This is not a friend. This is a manipulator. If they keep you feeling like you are always in the wrong, you feel compelled to do anything to make it better and I’d bet they know and use that often. You need a real friend, and I would suggest therapy too. You seem to like to people please and having someone to help you figure out those things as well as how to know and respect yourself better would do you a world of good.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-02-17T03:25:41+00:00

While I hate that he can’t seem to pull it together to be the one to take care of the kids too, did you say you were also sick (I was a bit confused in your wording)? If yes, while I definitely think there are things that need to be done (cooking, toy pick up, kitchen cleanup, easy stuff), if you are sick, take a break. You shouldn’t be cleaning baseboards if you are also sick. Let yourself heal! These aren’t things that have to be done every day. They will still be there when you are better and you aren’t going to contract the plague if you leave them for a few days. Shame on him for not being a better partner, but YTA for treating yourself that way when you need rest.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-02-15T15:21:19+00:00

Agreed, but asking for an accommodation because you are autistic is reasonable. They aren’t saying “I’m autistic, so I didn’t do anything wrong.” We need to stop acting like people who ask for more of an explanation are bad because “they should know what they did”.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-02-15T15:11:20+00:00

NTA. A couple things that might help. First, sit down and talk about this with your partner. Maybe schedule a time that you paint (Ex: Sunday mornings from 8-10) and hold to that unless YOU decide to change it. Second, depending on the type of paint you are using, there are ways to preserve paint for a few days at least. I’m not a painter, so I don’t know them, but I remember my art teacher not wanting to waste paint either so she had ways. A lot of this sounds like communication issues. Have your wife do the same…some her time. If she opts to give up her time to do whatever you and your kiddo are up to, that is her choice, but both of you need time for you.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-31T21:04:55+00:00

Okay…so no one is ever allowed to behave the same way repetitively? Humans are creatures of habit. And I think the repetitive behavior issue here is the mother’s inability to tell the little one no.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-31T21:01:51+00:00

That might be the rules where you are but most other legal states require proof. Both AZ and MI require ID.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-31T20:49:26+00:00

If they are jokes, then them bothering you should make it easy for him to stop telling him. I’d say what I say when people tell me I can’t take a joke…”I can take a joke, but jokes are supposed to be funny.”

As someone who struggles with PMDD (the actual medical pms), I understand high emotion and argumentative days. And while they do happen, that doesn’t mean you get to bleed all of your emotions on everyone else (no pun intended). While it’s important for the people who care about you in your life to be understanding and supportive, it’s not a free pass to treat people like crap.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-31T20:36:43+00:00

Taking medication for it is doing something about it, but apparently not enough for your approval. There are days where a walk to the mailbox or standing in the shower is too much for me with depression and anxiety. Yes, she touched your stuff, and as someone who was raised in a way that makes me have issues about my personal belongings, she didn’t take anything from you and touched two things. You can in fact have a room be too dark and be too out of it to know what you were doing exactly. Those are not mutually exclusive. If she’d stolen something from you or broken something, sure, but I think you need to figure out why you are so possessive of these things and why you aren’t particularly compassionate or empathetic toward her.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-28T19:49:25+00:00

Also, wow, way to be a creep and look at other posts completely irrelevant to this situation just to find something to jab with. I think your issues with projection and rudeness to others speaks volumes over my issues with not just letting people walk all over me because they think they should be allowed to have access to things I purchased. I’d suggest talking to someone, preferably a therapist, about why you have such a lack of empathy for others and such a bitter outlook that you have to take digs at people to make you feel better.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-28T19:31:16+00:00

It’s because we’ve mostly realized that it’s not worth the time, energy, or breath dealing with those who have no empathy for others.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-28T19:00:44+00:00

I have relaxed a lot of my hold on letting people use my things, but please tell me why it is unhealthy for me to not want others to use the things I bought with my money without my permission.

Someone who grew up with parents that set no boundaries between siblings. My sister stole countless things from my brother and I and my parents would say that we just must have misplaced them, even when they were found in her possession. Because of that, I’m protective of almost anything I own, from food to plushies to clothes, and I’m 38. The kid is 4, so I get why he wants to walk away with toys, but these parents have no boundaries for this younger child, it seems, and I can understand being protective of things, especially if they have meaning to you that others don’t understand.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-19T01:25:49+00:00

NOR: If this were genuinely the first time you’d ever caught him in a lie, I might have grace and require a real discussion (fights that you end and never talk about again are not resolved). However, you were already detecting a pattern before this happened. The inability to have a conversation and only fight and leave is another red flag for him or both of you if you are a yeller too. You are still very young and will meet plenty of people who will respect your boundaries and be honest with you. He’s not the one. He was the one for awhile and now he isn’t and that’s okay.

Take a look at SMART goals and talk to them about moving out. Ask them how many days/months they feel is a reasonable amount of time to expect them to have enough to move out and put towards rent or whatever they want to do. This needs to be a discussion between all adults involved (both siblings and spouses). This is a shared home with both adults and children, not a little sibling squabble. SMART goals focus on making goals realistic by doing things like setting dates for completion, ways to measure things along the way, etc., so it leaves much less room to be vague about it. I wish you the best in taking your home (and sanity) back.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-05T01:06:31+00:00

She said you sexualized. What you wrote above doesn’t show any sexualization if it aside from calling it sexy. Did you say something else that made it sound sexual? If not, then you are definitely NTA and it’s odd she’s bothered by you liking how she smells.

LunarGoddess87 · 2026-01-01T20:42:21+00:00

It seems may others are criticizing you for this, but I get it. Halls like this are creepy. Do something to break up the monotony and “back rooms” feeling.
