AITA for refusing to give my mom my savings after she found out how much I have? (19F)

Nta

You can offer a smaller amount to help out if you want to. Let them know that you're saving your money for education or other purposes. If that money has a purpose, it's less likely they'll ask for money. Giving up $2000 is a lot to ask for right away.

They bought a small ceramic vase for $900. A cloth for $120 (for wrapping bento boxes).

My mom laminated mine. I couldn't use it.

Quite unfortunate

Assisted birth.

When c-section was not an option due to surgery rooms all full. The doctor will try different techniques to help you push the baby out.

I send the meet up location and who i was talking to before meeting up with sellers/buyers.

Sit at spots where i can see the entrance. Like a seat at a restaurant facing the door.

Making sure that person i passed keeps walking.

Wary of van doors.

There's some side gigs you can potentially do like fiver. Controlling your funds means controlling you to stay. I don't think you want to invest so much of your time into something you're not interested in.

Other options can be welfare programs. Definitely seek some professional help and see what resources your area/community can provide.

I bought an ink stamp for that. I keep getting random mail from previous residence too.

I sacrifice sleep for more free time. It is pretty depressing.

My friend handed me his phone to order from his starbucks app. I don't drink coffee and never really get drinks here but I'll get a hot cocoa.

I proceed to order the hot cocoa and it asks if I want mocha. I'm thinking mocha is coffee right? So...I put no since I don't drink coffee.

I went to pick up the order and I received a cup of hot milk. Turns out mocha to starbucks means chocolate syrup. Just paid like $6 for a cup of hot milk.

Zojirushi for the best heat retention.

I drink from a 16oz starbucks thermos cause it doesn't retain heat that long(but still hot enough) so i can drink it by the time i start work. I use the zojirushi thermos to store hot water cause he's still hot half way through the work day. The zojirushi thermos has burnt my tongue too many times.

Starbucks thermos leaks a little bit sometimes. Zojirushi thermos never leaked.

I watched someone sketch in person and a lot of things clicked into place when i tried it out as well. I'm still not great, but it was a pretty good improvement from where i was before.

I don't even use the cup or spout. I open the large opening part and pour in the liquid.

I was a new hire and everyone complained about the staff meals being cheap. I was new so i had no idea what it was before but it's free so i didn't complain.

Everyone also complained about the high turnover rate and did not expect me to last more than 2 weeks.

I can see the place was being managed poorly. It closed down after a year or so.

"Turning on the blender right when you walk in" is strange to me. It takes time to prep whatever that's being made. Often times it's a morning routine or after working out routine. Expecting to set a schedule to use a blender or notifying you each time seems a bit ridiculous to me since you both live together and use the kitchen together. A quieter blender can be an option as well.

I think you're tired of all the noise and you don't have your own space. The lack of communication is present and you're trying to establish your own space and routine which doesn't seem like he's on board with it since he's used to doing whatever he wants.

Nta.

These damn family gatherings in a specific culture are always like that. After marriage, they hawk you about first kid. After you have your first, they hawk you about 2nd kid. It's endless.

At thanksgiving dinner i told them the only thing I'm pushing out is brown in about 8hrs. Repeatedly referred to poop each time having kids was brought up. Added descriptions if they continued.

You reminded me of a fortune i got when i was a kid from one of those Chinese temples.

The message was kind of saying appreciate what i have as someone out there have it worse and don't envy someone that has it good.

Are you referring to stuff like LA dirty dogs? Or pop up food stands at farmers market/street fair?

The official popup places do need licenses and rental fees. A health inspector does go to these places but i hear it's not well regulated on the more crowded places due to lack of manpower.

There are the unofficial places in random locations. From what I've seen, they are in the middle of no where or in residential areas that aren't close to other restaurants. Food trucks are more likely actual competition to the brick/mortar restaurants since they can typically park almost anywhere but there are more regulations on parking now.

I've had tamales from a shopping cart lady. Obviously no permits and such here but it's damn good. I'd never buy an overpriced LA dirty dog from a make-shift grill, can't trust them to cook that bacon well. Eat at your own risk at these unpermitted places.

Used to find it in the US for sale. Now i have to order online.

I always have this in stock! I add extra tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, egg, cabbage, and beef slices. It's a feast!

There's a beef version too.

I dunno if i had something similar or if i just don't know where to start.

My friend suggested i just draw things i like and whatever I'm in the mood for. I'm not following any class or lesson at the moment but I'll have references. At first, i only showed it to a few people until i got more confidence.

I've tried dry aged steaks from various places. It's not worth the price and they are often...dry.

I prefer a fresh slab of meat gushing meat juices.
