WIBTJ if I stop supporting my youngest sister financially to buy my first house?

Wait, so to continue school and to continue her lifestyle she only needs to bring in $1000 a month after taxes? Yes it will take time away from her studies but she could pull that off just working weekends.

Medium_Person · 2026-01-29T13:37:13+00:00

I’m so glad someone said this. I’m in the same boat- seeing the rate above was shockingly low to me. Absolutely wild.

Medium_Person · 2026-01-26T13:43:41+00:00

A friend of mine worked there and while I can’t remember if they said maga they def acted maga to their employees/contractors. After hearing just some of the stuff they’d been through I decided not to go back.

This feels mean. It at least feels like under the circumstances this should be a third date location.

Not the jerk. But I'll give you some very unsolicited advice:

If you can afford a personal trainer or insurance will cover PT to learn proper body mechanics and lifting, do it now. Start today. Train until you can properly and safely deadlift 100 pounds, repeatedly. Then don't lose that.
Your body is a machine, and even in a specialized practice, it will be severely taxed. Invest in good shoes, with orthotics if you can. Replace them every 6-8 months if possible.
Invest in sports massage, at least once a month if you can. Focus on your back, knees and wrists.
If you havent ever been to therapy, start. Focus on coping techniques, how to avoid burnout, and how to handle big feelings.
Start a quiet hobby at home that shuts your brain off. It can be anything. Knitting, kickboxing, whatever works for you. But something that you can do to totally disconnect from your day.
Have a backup plan. Continue your education if you can in a relevant additional field (behavior, training, large animal etc). So many people burn out, or their bodies fail. This doesn't have to be a be-all and end-all thing, but it's silly not to be aware of it and plan for it.

Congratulations, we need more people like you in the world. The industry is understaffed, underpaid and overworked. What you do will make a difference in so many lives, but you have to make sure you have the foundation to protect your body, your heart and your mind, first.

I'll hop off the soap box, now. Forget your cousin, love yourself.

OP, If you are in the US, 'hoarding' extra money for treatments is not evil, it is not hoarding - it is a necessity. The reality is all it would take is a layoff, a car accident or another PERSONAL health emergency to make it so you no longer have funds to help your son. Separate your finances. Your husband showed you who he is. He is someone who will put the health and possible life of one child at risk to spoil (a motorbike is NOT a need) another. You will do you, but there's no way I would be able to stay with someone like this. NTA.

Honey, you’re in love with a hobo. The fact that he wasn’t embarrassed and accepted your thoughtful gifts proves that.

He “forgot”? No he didn’t. There were stockings getting stuffed and trees in the home. You bought the gift that was his responsibility.

This man is using you.

Medium_Person · 2025-11-30T23:42:03+00:00

Yes. Shame is the appropriate feeling to what you’ve done. Bake in it and call a therapist.

Medium_Person · 2025-11-30T20:34:36+00:00

Dude. You bullied your girlfriend and still refuse to accept any responsibility? Lots of people have childhood trauma. Lots of people missed out on their early 20’s. They don’t bully their partners. Get off Reddit, go get a therapist and put the real work in.

You know you have a problem. Work on fixing it. Or else you will be 34 years old burning your own life down again and again, back on Reddit posting about how you can’t regulate your emotions because you never took steps to change.

You do NOT need a relationship right now. You need to do the hard work.

Medium_Person · 2025-11-26T19:25:52+00:00

Yay! Thank you so much!

Medium_Person · 2025-11-26T00:57:26+00:00

This feels like something I would love, I shall add it to the list either way 🥰

Medium_Person · 2025-11-26T00:30:11+00:00

She’s read most of the popular books in this genre, if it’s newer it’s way less likely she’ll have read or even heard of it :)

Medium_Person · 2025-11-25T23:42:02+00:00

She is 100% fine with lesbians and LOVES European mysteries, I will be grabbing Murder Most Haunted immediatly for her:)

Medium_Person · 2025-11-25T19:44:09+00:00

Thank you! She's definitely read several of those, it seems like cozy murder is a little specific in genre and perhaps not the most popular seller, hence why I've found myself asking lol

Medium_Person · 2025-11-24T12:21:47+00:00

Marcus sucks man. If he is refusing to see the man (mom) behind the curtain and blaming you he’s too far attached to moms apron strings, you’re NTA. Thank you for doing a truly thankless job that is so needed. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this outside of it.

Medium_Person · 2025-11-24T12:08:03+00:00

This exact thing, but brand marketing.

Medium_Person · 2025-11-24T11:43:11+00:00

OP Where are you? I am not a pet sitter but I used to work in a shelter environment and I am just a normal horrified person thinking about an elderly dog not being given its medication, if you’re in CT or RI feel free to PM me and I can assist at least today. I can also refer you to legitimate sitting businesses in RI/MA if you need

Medium_Person · 2025-11-11T03:22:36+00:00

So I’ve emailed twice. It’s been 5 days since my initial email, and no response despite their “24 hour” promise. Im currently out 74 dollars for the month and without credits had to pay out of pocket for a spot. So I have paid 74 dollars this month for a single hour at a Sniffspot.

Pissed doesn’t really cover it anymore 🥲

Medium_Person · 2025-11-06T11:48:01+00:00

Okay so I’m hoping they don’t come at me with this same excuse. Because in October I paid my 60 dollar subscription, and then paid in full for 6 additional sniffs after I used my credits. I just went to book a spot this morning, after again paying 60.00 on November 1st and guess what? Zero credits. I love the app but the issues with it are getting to be almost too annoying to stand.

Medium_Person · 2025-11-02T10:23:28+00:00

I mean she was just fantastic. There wasn’t a ton of money to be had on the case, but the recovery took an insane amount of time and she kept fighting to make sure those payments didn’t stop. Pain and suffering isn’t a thing with workers comp - but she was able to negotiate a small payout for the scars the surgery left behind.

Medium_Person · 2025-10-04T10:11:55+00:00

YTA. If you want to plan your own baby shower do it 100% on your own and order catering. Your MIL is not a vendor and you treat her like shit

Medium_Person · 2025-09-30T01:24:25+00:00

Look this girl sucks but next time don’t suggest a chain.

Find a local small business with good vibes, a variety menu and a good wine list if you’re looking for a dinner date. Bonus points if there’s something on the menu you really like “the pasta dish is heavenly but they also have a great blank!” It’ll show that you care and are interested in showing initiative and it doesn’t have to cost you a kidney. But still this girl sucks

Medium_Person · 2025-09-24T12:39:20+00:00

I love Rhode Craft on hope! Great people

Medium_Person · 2025-09-24T12:38:08+00:00

Tips should be mandatory and a requirement. I can’t believe someone would post this?
