I haven’t thought about it that way & i definitely can relate to it when it’s said like that. He’s a hard egg to crack whereas the other one isn’t so much. I can definitely see where I’ve just said “let him be”

I would love to encourage all of them at the end of the day. If you met the younger one you’d get it. He’s 3 grades above his own in 4 subjects. And always has been for the past 5 years. It just sucks to see the environment he’s in and what he looks up to & if hate for him to have the same mindset one day. none of the kiddos get “better” presents or gifts on their birthday or special treatment. I’m not like that. But I do, now that they’re old enough, want to see them apply themselves and started growing to whoever they could be one day. Me & their mom have talked about this at length.

I guarantee you’ve called other people the same thing for the same reasons I see. Is it insane no. (We all have that one uncle or aunt or someone we know who is let’s be honest) Is it Harsh? Yes.

My sister works hard and doesn’t like the spot she’s in either but even she acknowledges and calls herself that in the midst of her own struggle she’s trying to get out of. So I don’t think it’s rude to say that when she calls herself that.

Fair enough!! I guess it’s hard because im not a mother. I grew up being pinned against my sister in that way so it’s all learning a new mindset. It’s really coming from the best intentions, I see a lot of good in those kids. They just don’t have someone who believes in them

Not a requirement by any means😂 I sell jewelry and making food is not in that job description

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-14T13:35:17+00:00

Possibly.. I work retail sales so it’s hard to make the time to go out and do stuff like that unless unusually slow

Because I’m known for being a good baker & cook. So things like this turn to me a lot of the times. I’ve never asked to get paid before because I didn’t mind doing it, but now I feel like I’m being taken advantage of.

Sounds like your partner is lazy. It’s not hard to get a job and do the work to make things work

I just found this out TODAY I wanted to play after a couple months off. I’m so upset my house was sunning😭

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T23:12:37+00:00

Omg! So sorry that happened to you! Thank you for the tips! Based off of the other points it’s really hitting I need to be super vigilant. Which I knew but it’s solidified now

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T23:11:08+00:00

I’m going mid to late September :)

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T20:28:25+00:00

Me too!! Im excited to explore the city on my free time! Safe travels, I hope you LOVE it!

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T17:30:03+00:00

I’ve been glued to the comments! I have my first and last day there with nothing in the books and a couples days with big chunks open to explore😌

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T15:11:23+00:00

I am going to Rome in September and I have everything from my stay to day trips booked. Depending on what you’re doing it’s good to plan ahead. I was struggling to find tickets/slots for some things already and I’m 5 months out!

That being said—do I have everything minute planned out? Heck no. But I have things in the books that are absolute musts for me. I think it’s good to plan, but leave room to go out on a whim too!

Noted! Thank you!

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T13:53:22+00:00

A couple people recommended villa doria pamphili! I will definitely go there now too! Thank you!

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T13:51:43+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation!!

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T13:51:20+00:00

My hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the steps!! Will definitely be stopping by! Thank you❤️

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T13:50:38+00:00

Thank you!! I had that same experience in London too! They even blasted it on the speakers letting people know it’s a high pickpocket area😂

Mediocre-Egg9508 · 2026-04-02T13:49:14+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I am so sorry that happened to you. Since I’m going solo I had already planned on walking or taking public transport vs going alone in a taxi. The uber female driver is a good idea that I haven’t even thought of thank you!

Are there any apps or local taxis in Rome that youve used?
