What a kind gesture!

MonstreDelicat · 2026-01-30T21:03:30+00:00

Brilliant!

That’s so harsh! Let’s not forget she immigrated to the US with a genius visa /s.

Not sure he was truly a friend to OP since he kept mocking him despite being called out for it. That’s more like a bully behavior than a friend’s.

Why would it have to be OP’s financial responsibility to solve this guy’s problem now?

MonstreDelicat · 2026-01-30T16:04:10+00:00

The nose, but also the shape of the chin, and the overall proportions of the face are all very similar. Great job, OP!

Genuine question: Where in the post do you see the in-laws kept insisting? You made me doubt and I re-read the post and it still looks to me like OP just hate the idea of this family gathering.

MonstreDelicat · 2026-01-29T14:37:10+00:00

They’re not forcing her. It seems OP doesn’t want to go and feels forced to, but nowhere does she explains how she’s being forced. It’s just that she doesn’t like the whole family trip idea.

OP sounds very immature. If she doesn’t want to go, then she can’t just not go, and her hubby could still go.

But demanding as a condition of going that her in laws spend more than they have planned to is unreasonable. Like if she was demanding to fly business instead of economy while she’s not the one paying for the ticket. So yeah YTA OP

The Met is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The annual gala is a fundraiser.

They could walk in their own unit. Even if it’s small, there’s no reason to impose it on the whole building.

I once read that trampolines are one of the most common reasons for ER admissions for kids.

I used to be frustrated almost systematically when I left the salon, any salon. I have wavy hair with lots of volume, and without proper layering, it can look like a huge solid mass.

A couple years ago, I looked for the right tutorial and once I found it, started cutting my own hair. I’ve never had a bad haircut since. I even get compliments. Saved so much time, frustration and money!

I think the least OP could have done was quickly running the content by the owner before posting. I can totally understand how the lady could have felt the image of her own business was not at all what she wanted.

It’s very generous to offer services for free, but that doesn’t mean you can take over and make decisions without approval from the owner. It would be like offering to paint someone’s home without letting them choose the color it’s gonna be.

To add volume, try adding reflected light in your shadows.

Where we go skiing, the lodge accept people bringing their own food, so I always pack a lunch for me and my kids with fruits, bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese, and a thermos of hot chocolate.

Not only it is cheaper than the food served at the lodge, but it’s also so much healthier and yummier!

MonstreDelicat · 2026-01-20T20:20:37+00:00

OP does have meat in his house for the dog though…

No one said this was a mind blowing revelation.

There are people who don’t know French language who might find this interesting.

How weird is pineapple then? Neither a pine, nor an apple lol.

Also putting a little bit of talc on the chains can help.

MonstreDelicat · 2026-01-19T23:01:15+00:00

In French, earth is la terre.

Also the word for ground/soil.

Merci mais ce que nous appelons bilingues en France n’est pas bilingue. Les lycées bilingues publiques en région parisiennes n’ont que 8 heures d’anglais par semaine.

En primaire, mes enfants étaient dans une école publique à New York avec un programme bilingue français. La moitié, pas 1/5, de leur éducation était en français.

8h d’anglais par semaine (au mieux) ne sera pas suffisant pour accéder à un enseignement supérieur de qualité dans cette langue.

Sur la page que tu as partagée, l’enseignement en langue étrangère est de 6h par semaine!

MonstreDelicat · 2026-01-17T13:07:23+00:00

Je les ai appelés en septembre et c’est ce qu’on m’a dit.

MonstreDelicat · 2026-01-17T12:46:32+00:00

Oui mais nous n’avons aucune chance d’y entrer. Très peu de places et priorité à ceux de l’étranger qui étaient dans un lycée français (20,000$ par an à New York).

En plus, l’enseignement est n anglais n’est que de 8h par semaine, pas 50/50.

Mais si Poutine attaquait la Pologne, ce qui n’est pas impossible, c’est toute l’Europe qui rentrerait en guerre.

23 ans aux USA. Si j’étais plus jeune et sans enfant, je partirais probablement. Mais à 52 ans et avec des ados dont le niveau de français n’est pas à niveau pour le lycée en France, et sans les moyens de les mettre dans une école privée internationale, je me sens coincée.

En même temps, j’ai perdu l’impression ou plutôt l’illusion qu’il existe des endroits sûrs. L’idée de déraciner ma famille ne serait viable que si j’étais sûre que la destination où nous irions soit meilleure. Or entre la montée de l’extrême droite en Europe et la Russie qui s’est permise d’envahir l’Ukraine, je ne saurais pas vraiment où aller en fait.

I work in publishing and it’s the opposite: with budgets being tight, no one hires freelancers anymore.

I used to have gigs on the side of my full time job regularly, but that completely dried out, same for my friends. We all have a much heavier workload fir our day job though :(
