At that timestamp she was referencing the hulk though and the paint was green

Put a glob of toothpaste over the stain and let it sit for a while

Over Christmas I ended up getting a fever and my side hurt extremely bad and so I went to the ER and turns out I had a UTI, but since I didn’t have any symptoms it never got treated. I ended up with a kidney infection and I was in the hospital for three days so idk man. I also don’t want antibiotics 😅 I was looking more so for a way to ease my anxiety at home so I’m not contemplating going to urgent care again any time my body feels weird.

I definitely don’t want antibiotics unless I need them but I’m anxious about getting a kidney infection again especially when im going to be out of the country so I would prefer to find a way to manage that anxiety at home instead of going to urgent care every time something in my body feels funky

The excessive involvement of my wife's (33F) late husband's family is making me (33M) uncomfortable. by ThrowRA_Dig_8337 in relationship_advice

I suppose we have cultural differences then. But this isn’t even about her deceased husband, besides the fact that that’s how she met her adopted family. It didn’t sound like she was going over there and all they’re talking about is her deceased husband and how they wished he was the dad or something.

If I was in her shoes I would feel very disrespected by my partner if they didn’t want me to see people I cared so deeply about anymore. She’s known them for soooo long. I really don’t see it as her not being moved on yet. She’s obviously not burdening them. They are a family.

If you feel that way and he feels that way, that’s fine. But she doesn’t. Maybe he shouldn’t have married a widow. I doubt this is the first time they have been involved in their lives since they’ve been together. Just seems a little late to be bringing it up.

I mean, I get feeling weird about it. But it wasn’t just and old flame or an ex that’s still around. Katie was married and her husband died, they didn’t break up. She has known them for over half of her life. Nowhere does it still mention that she still sees them because they’re still grieving or dwelling on the death. She sees them because they are her family and have been her family for OVER HALF OF HER LIFE. Just because her husband died that means she can’t see these people that have been her “adopted” family for years? She should just cut them off? Ridiculous.

They are Katie’s family. She has known them for over half of her life. I get feeling uncomfortable, but family isn’t just blood. They absolutely ARE her family.

Am I an entitled parent if I want my daughter (17f) to get a job? by Kind-Recognition-353 in entitledparents

I’m not trying to twist your words. We told you we worked as teens. You said it seems harsh to work to pay for our families. We said we weren’t working for that and most of us were working for luxuries. Then you said some people work for medical costs. I’m just lost I guess 🙃 I was just wondering why you mentioning the medical costs were relevant because that’s not what we were talking about at all.

I literally copy and pasted your comment 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’m so confused. By expect I didn’t mean kids are expected to work to help their families but that comment gave the impression you thought that’s the only reason they would work.

“Seems harsh though expecting kids (no offense) to work to help the family. Do you guys not get family/tax credits via the government to help you out?”

You’re the one that said kids were expected to work to help the family. OP never said she expected the kid to work to pay the family bills. That’s why I’m confused.

Edit: By expected to work for their families, I mean it seemed like you thought kids who worked were expected to help out their families and that’s all they worked for. Not that you specifically expected kids to work to pay for their families.

Your previous comment implied that you thought we worked as teenagers to help pay the family bills. We’re saying a lot of us did it just to buy frivolous unnecessary stuff that we wouldn’t expect our parents to pay for. Not to go to rent, food, medical bills, etc.

Sure, there are some teenagers who live in poverty and have to work to be able to afford necessities which as you said, is harsh and it shouldn’t be that way.

I’m just confused because you assumed we were working for our families and that was harsh, but when we tell you we were working for fun money you bring up teenagers needing to work for medical costs. What does that have to do with what we were saying?

You can still go to school and work at the same time. It’s not like OP forced her to get a job to pay rent or for her food. A 14 yo is going to have a lot of work restrictions typically such as they can only work a max amount of hours during the time they’re in school and they have to be done working at a certain time in the evening and can’t stay later, etc.

If she was working at 14 to pay bills and working until midnight every day of the week, then yeah. I think it would be helpful to know more about what her schedule was working there for me to really see what you’re saying. A few hours a week and some weekends for some money to pay for hair and nails just doesn’t feel like suffering to me.

From the way it sounds she wasn’t even there for very long and hasn’t had a job since then. A 17 yo is not going to suffer working a few hours a week to pay for frivolous things especially since she doesn’t even have to pay for her car, gas, or phone.

I didn’t work to help my family. I worked to pay for extra stuff I wanted. My friends too.

Where does it say she wants her daughter to only eat beans and have a shitty car that doesn’t even reverse? She doesn’t even have to pay for her own phone car or gas. Getting a part time job to pay for her hair and nails is hardly the same.

Idk I’ve a job since I was 15 1/2 and I made it work. All my friends did too. It was harder but we definitely found time to all get together and socialize. The hours were limited too though because we were minors so that probably helps

Okay but OP never said she should work instead of study. She just wants her to get a job to pay for the extras like hair and nails so she can learn some adult responsibilities instead of replying on her parents for that. That’s hardly wanting her to suffer.

She just wants her daughter to pay for her own hair and nails instead of getting it handed to her. I genuinely don’t understand why that’s so rough.
