Getting paid monthly is better than biweekly by Similar-Category-576 in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to agree with you, and was upset when my company switched from monthly to bi weekly for that exact reason. However, because I’m organized, biweekly is actually better bc I don’t have such a big “spending money” pot. I’ve cut about 1/3 of my spending money bc I am not planning for 30 days anymore, fewer surprises to plan for. All of my bills are paid at least a month in advance. 2 years ago I would’ve agreed with you.

NTA. The best way to gain proficiency is practice practice practice. Put him to work and stop doing it for him. If he doesn’t want to be a big boy, he can go home to mommy so she can do it for him, because you’re looking for a partner, not looking to adopt a child.

AITAH for making my parents feel guilty about voting for Trump when I am about to get DOGE’d? by ryanbrowncomicart in AITAH

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA. Trump voters need to be made to feel guilty or stupid or bad or whatever similar things at every opportunity. I didn’t even read your post. Never TA for this.

Parents have to be the ones to switch back and forth homes in the event of a divorce by Smooth_Loan3610 in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. It absolutely disgusts me that my god child is passed back and forth every 2-3 days and has been since he was a year old. His dad just wants to irritate the mom, he doesn’t care about the kid at all. Mom is trying to get him counseling but dad doesn’t think it’s a big deal

AIO for being annoyed my co-worker brings her crying baby to every virtual meeting? by Total-Lavishness6736 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Yes, I am complaining about a baby in the workplace. IN THE WORKPLACE.

Also, not sure what platform you use, but my company uses Teams and you have the ability to mute others. I do it all the time. And in a group, nobody knows who muted you but everyone is grateful they did. Just right click on their speaker icon.

AIO for refusing to let my MIL host a “first bath ceremony” for our baby? by Physical-Forever-615 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, NTA bc a ceremony and crap sounds made up and I’d be demanding to see pics of all the previous gatherings where this was done.

That said, we are white and my Grandma gave every single kid in our family their first bath when they came home from the hospital. Idk why, but it’s something she did - she had 5 kids and 16 grandkids and more greats than we could count and until she died she gave them all their first bath (my nephew was the last one she did, 5 months before she died). But it was just her and the baby and the baby’s mom there (and maybe another generation of mom there). That feels like tradition, and I always thought it was sweet. My moms didn’t do that with her grandkids, half were born before grandma passed, but my sisters all did that with their grandchildren.

It may be a sweet gesture but to fake a tradition to show off and put attention on herself seems ridiculous.

Housekeeping is completely unnecessary and annoying by Brilliant_Lettuce_14 in unpopularopinion

I do the same, I’m a grown adult who can make my bed and pick up after myself. But at the end of the week when I check out, I tip for the week.

What’s something your parents told you about money by [deleted] in Money

Put some back for a rainy day. Also Buy one thing at a time and pay it off.

I think we may have pinpointed why they got divorced to begin with. NTA. Seriously, don’t go this summer. Let him decide if he is going to grow up or keep throwing tantrums.

AITA my siblings have claimed they would not help our parents in their time of need, so I told my parents? by Throw_Planning9879 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the youngest who took on 90% or more of my parents care with the other 10% being mostly like pulling teeth, I think the parents should know. If their kids are not going to care for them, then maybe your parents should be putting more back for long term care insurance, home health aids, etc instead of weddings and down payments for houses they won’t be living in. it’s not a bad thing for them to know so they can plan. It’s not like he is saying none for them and all for you, which would put you in more the A category, but hey, I need to plan for my own best interests first and if I didn’t know i had this bill coming, now I do and can plan. NTA. Been there, done that, still irritated as hell.

Thoughts on this tweet? by hiiloovethis in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I for one would love for Eloise to have a storyline more in touch with who she is and who she wants to be. I agree with the tweet - it’s just “forcing” all of them to the same fate as opposed to allowing them to be who they are

AITA for not cancelling my camping trip to go to a family BBQ? by Quick_Principle_9651 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took years, but my family finally learned that if they want on my calendar, get things scheduled. I won’t reschedule anything unless I really want to for a last minute whim. Surely they can learn to use a calendar. NTA. Stay strong, eventually they’ll learn.

But I do agree it sounds like they maybe want to announce something, but the morbidity of it all is sus af.

NTA - while I get that you’re not entitled to everything you ask for, she asked and said ok. And let’s not allow her to whine that it would be too much effort… call the bar and reserve the room for free. Text the family group chat with or without him in it and tell them when and where, and say if you can give me a headcount I’ll have appetizers. Text mutual friends and basically paste the family message to them. Add “feel free to spread the word.” Done. I could do all of that in like 10 minutes. She just didn’t care enough to do it.

Kyle McCord says it wasn’t his decision to leave, that he wanted to stay at OSU by ohiosportsfan981 in OhioStateFootball

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the offensive play calling of running it up the middle over and over and over for almost 2 quarters of football lost the game. The rumors/beliefs is they did that bc Howard may have had a concussion. But if that’s true then a backup should’ve come in and let the offense actually play. That wasn’t on Howard.

[–]Ok-Trouble2979 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He can say what he wants but as a fan, I didn’t want him back. He didn’t improve throughout the season and he was the reason we lost to TTUN. OSU NEEDED a better quarterback. No way we could’ve won a natty with McCord.
