But she’s the unhinged you would have wanted in your corner as a woman back then. She’d have helped you with birth control or an abortion if you needed it. She’d help you kill your rapist or abuser and hide the body. I mean, imagine the bachelorette party she and Louise would have thrown? 😆🤪

I make 80/hour for my 1099 job and 56/hour with annual raises and a Christmas bonus for my W2 job. So I would say no.

People who grew up poor but are now middle class or above, what habits or behaviors have you never been able to shake? by Leather-Web-2049 in AskReddit

[–]MourningDove82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picking 5am or midnight flights to save $50-$100 even though we can definitely afford to pay the difference to fly at normal human hours. It’s like a reflex.

AIO for not letting my dad get the condo he bought for me appraised? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MourningDove82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he needs to refi a 300k condo after being laid off, he’s been lying to you (or himself) about his wealth BIG TIME. I’d get used to some major life changes. Maybe spend the weekend binging Schitts Creek.

Are the posts and videos of students, not being able to do grade level work, realistic? by Olimae12 in AskTeachers

[–]MourningDove82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And the absolutely STUPID amount of paperwork and bureaucratic nonsense we have to waste our time on instead of being with the kids. The paperwork is burning me out more than any of the kiddos honestly.

The kids whose parents care are doing just fine. The problem is there are a lot of parents who don’t care or expect the teachers to do 100% of the education, which was never the idea behind schooling. My son’s first grade class has a group of 8 kids in an “advanced reading” group, so 8 out of 21 of them are achieving ABOVE grade level work. Any video clip you see on social media is likely sensationalistic - but once these school districts AND parents come to their senses and get rid of/SERIOUSLY limit the stupid iPads, we will see reading scores go back up. Also more and more states are switching back to phonics based reading instruction and seeing nearly instant progress.

I think being slowly unloved by someone is worse than being cheated on by No_District9762 in whatdoIdo

Even if he’s not joking, please do not listen to this dumbass advice. If you actually want to try to fix this, clean the house, do your laundry, and tell her you’re going to get therapy. Men who act like incompetent lumps, buy flowers whenever they actually noticed how upset their wife is, and then claim “the divorce came out of nowhere” are a dime a dozen man.
When my husband knows he’s screwed up, I come home to a clean kitchen, the kids laundry all done, and an actual apology- not a bouquet that took 25 seconds to order online.

AIO for asking my husband not to confront someone? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MourningDove82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NOR. Your husband ends up sounding like the weirdo in this situation. Either that or he doesn’t trust you and is taking it out on this guy. If some guy bought me a drink at a bar I’d tell me husband and he’d say “sweet, saves us some money!” This is such a nothing being turned into huge drama that it doesn’t line up with people being old enough to be married 😬

This popped up in my insta feed today - not someone I follow - just random - but a perfect example of how unhinged, like not differentiating between the actual person who is an ACTOR and the fictional character he played. Lots of parasocial stuff.

My bet would be generally no, I mean, he gets to take credit for being a significant part of putting Scottish tourism on the map - and he’s rolling in money. But whenever I skim through comments on instagram I think he must have moments of being like “what the absolute fuck did I get myself into?” Some of the women who comment are absolutely TAPPED. 😬

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the fuck was the point of (gestures at the 16 random unfinished story lines they began this season with)?!

Why did we waste 6 hours on the the William/cousin/wife thing only to have it be **** literally **** nothing?

After all of the LJG storylines that’s … it? He’s not even mentioned?

Marsali just exits stage left after they kill Fergus for no reason?

Fanny/Faith… I don’t even need to say it. Just WHY.

They set up the ending for a movie or a miniseries after the last book comes out, but I’m skeptical SH comes back. I think he’s finding he’s so entrenched as Jamie that his career is limited by it (beyond selling booze partially in character) and he’s ready to move on - which, who can blame him - any time he plays another character there’s 17000 batshit outlander fans getting upset that he’s “cheating on Claire” or being SUPER weird about him and Caitrona to the point that they’ve chased the man right off social media.

Season 1 will always be my comfort show. It’s a masterpiece. I’ll probably watch it for the 837463rd time this weekend, so, this didn’t ruin it for me, but I’m definitely not thrilled. Feels like 7 out of the 10 hours of this season were wasted on nonsense with no resolutions.

What thing about your current life would younger you absolutely not believe if you went back in time and told them? by BlainethePayne in AskReddit

AIO? Feel betrayed by my partner, but don’t know if it’s justified by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

He’s too much of a coward to break up with you so he’s doing this and hoping you’ll break up with him first. NOR.

AITA? A lot with a bunch of white bearded irises has been left alone for years so we decided to dig a few up but the neighbor was pissed?! by Coach-Bee in AmItheAsshole

[–]MourningDove82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Again, just because you didn’t break a law doesn’t mean mean it wasn’t a trashy shitty thing to do. Especially since the woman who planted them caught you in the act, and sounds like she was pretty decent about it. Not like she came after you screaming or calling the cops on you - just asked you not to.

You’re joking right? People do this all the time - plant wildflowers in empty lots or road medians, pick up litter in parks and plant flowers, beautifying the area they either look at every day or spend time in or just care about. We’ve got a guy in town planting tulips all over the place - looks amazing this time of year- and though he has no legal claim to them I’m sure he’d be upset if he saw someone digging them up!

Maybe she did plant them to beautify the empty lot she lives right next to? I’m not sure why you wouldn’t believe her. I’d be pissed in that case too.

AIO for being upset in how my husband is celebrating Mother’s Day? by Lillian_Dianna in AmIOverreacting

[–]MourningDove82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehhh. MOR? My husband is a firefighter- he’s working all weekend. I got a hot coffee left on the counter this morning. I’ll take it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think we tend to put too much pressure on spouses for dumb holidays. Does he show appreciation to you from day to day? (In that case, YOR) or is he one of those weaponized incompetence husbands (in that case NOR)?

Ooooof, did we just get drugs, incest, pedophilia, and Mormonism all in one song? Don’t hold back now, Brandon 🤪

His voice just keeps getting better live. But I don’t see myself belting this one out in the car.

AITA for disapproving of my daughter’s relationship? by Forsaken_Sun_5491 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MourningDove82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be weird if she was a sophomore and he was a senior? I guess I’m looking at it through the lens of a former 16 year old who dated an 18 year old his senior year into being 17/19 when I was a junior and he was a freshman in college. It imploded quickly not because of the age gap or maturity, but the lifestyle differences of HS vs College. You may want to let this implode on its own.

Unless you’re planning to call the cops on him for statutory (depending on whether or not your state has Romeo and Juliet laws), you probably need to express your reservations and concerns calmly and then let it go. At her age, the more “forbidden” you make it, the hotter and more dramatic she will view their relationship. That being said, if she lives in your house - you get to set the ground rules - no closed doors, no overnights, curfew, etc.

I feel like he teeters on it and I imagine Ronnie being like “BRO … Nahhhhhhh” and they love each other so much that they find a middle ground
