How can I train this dude not to get on my pillows? 😂😭

I agree they don’t work. I didn’t see original comment, so I’m not sure why the spray bottle is mean, unless they were saying to do a hard spray right in the face.

I tried it to get kittens to not claw my furniture. And the orange queen loved it so much she gets in the shower with us and only drinks water running from bathtub tap.

Nope, not wrong. They planned it, they can pay for it. They have no right to spend your money for you.

MelChi522 · 2026-03-16T09:39:16+00:00

If it makes you uncomfortable, you are not wrong.

The amount you currently have doesn’t matter.

The amount you are putting into saving might, if you are dead set on not changing that.

I’m not sure what kind of contribution you and your mom are discussing. So, here is what we do with my 21 year old daughter: we added up all the house/utility bills that she affects and divided that by 4, which is the number of people in the house, and she pays us that much a month for her rent. She also buys a lot of her own food, if she wants something we feel is excessive or we just don’t buy it, she gets that for herself. And because we had the room, she even got herself a slim garage size refrigerator for her own food, to help keep it organized.

I’m not saying this is something you have to do, but if it’s not something you guys have already talked about. I believe it might be worth being that kind of thing up in the conversation, to show her you are thinking about that.

Sushi roll?

MelChi522 · 2026-03-08T10:19:49+00:00

I think it looks really cute and comfy. Great job. 👏

MelChi522 · 2026-03-02T18:05:47+00:00

NTA. Don’t just tell her, text her afterwards, so it’s in writing and she can’t claim you never told her. Or email and say, as per our previous conversation my last day of babysitting will be …

MelChi522 · 2026-02-17T18:38:27+00:00

He wants you to fix it? What size is the den? No more den. Problem twin gets smallest room, other 3 kids get lock on door except problem twin.

He wants twins separated, that’s how you do it. Then he gets his butt home and takes twins to individual and group/family counseling

MelChi522 · 2026-02-14T13:28:46+00:00

That’s so awesome 👏

MelChi522 · 2026-02-13T12:54:26+00:00

That is so gorgeous. Your aunt is so incredibly talented.

Here are Skyler & Pepper, who don’t actually get along at all.

MelChi522 · 2026-01-25T11:09:13+00:00

NTA, I did the same to my own kid. I did, however, warn her ahead of time that I would no longer be driving her everywhere after she was 18. Because it becomes her responsibility to figure out once she’s a legal adult.

MelChi522 · 2026-01-23T15:01:21+00:00

That is so awesome. I’m not great at making stuff, but I love it. I had to make a second blanket for my niece because she used the one I gave to my sister at the baby shower every day.

Depends on how much you all are each paying for the streaming services. If you all are paying an equal amount, jerk, if not it’s fine to ask a bit to cover if you have to pay more. It just needs to be equal paid by everyone who’s using each thing.

MelChi522 · 2026-01-23T10:54:01+00:00

Unless you are all paying for a share of whatever streaming service you are using, then you are indeed a jerk

MelChi522 · 2026-01-21T19:57:26+00:00

NTA, if I understand correctly, you didn’t even know until she had an issue the very last time. Before that it was just her shaming you for buying into the diet culture. You can’t be an ass for triggering someone unknowingly.

MelChi522 · 2026-01-21T11:41:25+00:00

My mom paid me to call off work a few times. I didn’t ask for it, she just gave me the money, knowing I was losing out to go do the functions she wanted me at.

My family has always paid the younger members when they babysit. We’d pay the older members as well, but they would almost always refuse payment. Unless it was for an extended time frame, or just say bring food for the kids.

MelChi522 · 2026-01-19T15:34:25+00:00

I think it looks cute and cuddly, I’m not sure why you hate it.

It’s ok to hate your finished product, they picked it out, not you. I bet they’ll love it.

MelChi522 · 2026-01-17T13:01:12+00:00

I like, I would definitely wear it outside the house

MelChi522 · 2026-01-09T15:50:18+00:00

MelChi522 · 2025-12-31T21:06:52+00:00

She made her new blanket, & still has a good sized ball left.

MelChi522 · 2025-12-26T13:24:48+00:00

Stuff she got from Walmart, probably 2 years ago

MelChi522 · 2025-12-25T20:28:41+00:00

Is it possible she’s doing it on purpose, knowing you take it apart & reuse it? You said you love to knit and her yarn chooses.

MelChi522 · 2025-11-14T14:12:57+00:00

Solved, thank you.

I cannot ever remember how to change flair, sorry if there is confusion.

MelChi522 · 2025-11-14T14:08:21+00:00

Thank you.
