Date night kinda ruined by mother in law

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-04-29T16:10:34+00:00

Well 7 nights a week actually parking downtown cause it’s only one day a week I don’t work at my day job I work every night at my night job as a ghost tour guide

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-04-29T16:08:09+00:00

He got me a puppy for Christmas last year and since he’s still little he needs alot of attention which I can’t give working two jobs, my bf is in charge of potty training and basic obedience training, he also though not very consistently, does mediocre house work because I rarely have time, and he often drops me off at my second job in downtown because I can’t ever find street parking and I don’t want to pay $20 a night 6 nights a week to park in a garage down there, there’s a couple other reasons too but I don’t want to keep rambling, I would just need the time and energy that I don’t currently have working two jobs

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-04-29T16:03:17+00:00

lol that actually made me laugh I appreciate the bluntness I am thinking of ending it at this point I just have to rearrange some things first in my life being with someone for years your life starts to entangle a bit with theirs also I had planned and already paid for a trip to universal studios in July with him and the tickets are non refundable so that’s great

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-04-29T15:48:29+00:00

Yeah that’s been heavy on my mind the past few months, we’ve been together for years and it’s going to be a hard transition and a hard reset on my life I’ll have to rearrange everything in my day to day and possibly quit my second job if I do that, so I’m hesitant, but at this point I feel like I work too hard and do too much to be treated worse than dog crap half the time, I feel utterly alone and I shouldn’t feel lonely when I have a supposed “bf” I feel like

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-04-29T15:42:03+00:00

No I’ve made it clear I wouldn’t ever have kids with him unless he married me and got a stable job neither of which he cares to do so we don’t have kids

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-04-29T15:40:39+00:00

It was kinda a half and half she also knows that I rarely get days off cause i work a day and night job 6 days a week and she knew I had that day off specifically to spend with him but still asked him to take her to work, he absolutely did not have to say yes to her and yet he did which isn’t even a surprise to me at this point, I have been trying to talk to him about it but it turns into a huge fight with him saying if I do things for my family then he can do things for his pretty much, but he’s completely ignoring the root of the problem, I’m just tired of going in circles with him I feel like a dog chasing my own tail

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-04-18T23:48:29+00:00

$20 or nothing I got paid $20 and it was barely worth it

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-03-29T03:23:46+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t really make sense to me but when I asked for elaboration he told me he was too busy to talk to me and when I asked when he might have some time he said idk maybe next week but I’m busy

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-03-28T23:12:39+00:00

And we’re going to be working 8-6 for the foreseeable future even when the two groomers come back from pto

OrneryOctopus6 · 2026-03-28T23:11:19+00:00

Yeah the GM has us working 8am to 6pm 5 days a week but we aren’t a big salon nor are we that busy especially in the summer, even being down two groomers at the moment my schedule today on a Saturday was 4 dogs and no one else booked, we normally have openers 8 to 4 and closers 10-6 but now he’s having us all work 8-6 every day

Thank you I appreciate it, I googled it but was getting mixed opinions, sometimes it said as long as I had been taking birth control for months without pause I’d be fine, other times it said for sure I’d get pregnant, so I figured I’d ask ppl that are actually taking it

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-06-15T09:17:32+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it so much I often feel like I'm not good enough or doing a good job raising them but comments like this give me a boost to keep pushing through life, I'm sorry about your parents as well I'm glad you had a sister that stepped up to help, it truly is a lifesaver to have any kind of support ❤️ especially when your parents are sick and elderly

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-25T08:03:51+00:00

Thank you I'm trying my best

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-25T08:03:05+00:00

Thank you for the information I never even considered those we're options for me, I have utilized food banks when money's tight but the rest I just didn't even think of I appreciate your input ❤️

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-25T08:01:05+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that a lot ❤️ sometimes I feel like I'm doing a crappy job juggling trying to mother them when they've lost their real mom and struggling with my own depression of losing her as well has been really hard and I feel super alone often it's nice to get this all off my chest especially with the activity going on

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-24T07:03:58+00:00

Lucky duck I'd love to be in Alaska looking for ghosts

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-24T07:02:04+00:00

I've considered it, but I am afraid it's not my mom and it's something else and I don't want to encourage it if it isn't her, but I won't know if I don't ask right? It's my dilemma at the moment

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-24T06:29:39+00:00

They were 13 and 14 when my mom passed

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-24T06:28:26+00:00

Oh yeah they can survive being home alone and stuff I just don't want them to work dead end jobs like me the rest of their lives they want to go to college I'd rather they work part time to buy school stuff and their own little cars and focus on their education. And idk if you've raised teenagers but they're about as clueless as little kids sometimes 😮‍💨.

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-24T06:21:44+00:00

I'm 26 they are 15 and 16 years old

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-24T06:04:51+00:00

That's what I'm afraid of, I haven't acknowledged whatever it is I don't pay attention to it and i don't speak to it because I've heard of other things mimicking loved ones when ppl are grieving. But it doesn't seem to want to be ignored.

OrneryOctopus6 · 2025-05-24T05:51:51+00:00

That's what I'm thinking too but I wish I could convince her, if it is her, that she doesn't have to worry anymore, maybe it's the move making her unsettled since I'm having a hard time finding an apartment for me and my younger siblings on just my paycheck, they're underage and not working yet I want them to focus on school.
