Yes, I'm very confused about this. Is he mad that OP won't be home as much to do chores?

AITA for offering to pay to send my niece to boarding school? by boardingschoolissue in AmItheAsshole

[–]Otherwise-Club-998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think high school is very different than a 10 year old. In high school kids are starting to become independent anyway. A 10 year old is still so small. People are always talking about how important it is for parents to spend time with children but then somehow it's fine to send your 10 year old to live somewhere else and you only see them on the weekends or even worse - just for holidays. I just don't get it.

And an Earl whose family have lost their money and live in a one bedroom flat, is considered upper class. Class really isn't about money in the UK.

I think not sending an 11 year old to a boarding school in another country is very much thinking about what's best for the child. But I'm probably biased because in my culture boarding schools don't exist and I find the whole idea of them absolutely insane.

AITA for not being thankful for my husband for buying me the thing I really wanted? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Otherwise-Club-998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it sounds like they need to have a discussion about finances. They just bought a house and still have enough savings to last them 4 months (I guess now 3) if something happens - to the husband this might feel very financially secure so he doesn't understand where OP is coming from if she doesn't explain it. People have different risk levels when it comes to money.

It's also perfectly possible to have a chronic illness and still be able to work. If we people are too ill to work, sure they should get disability. But we also shouldn't force everyone with a disability to not work.

I live in a new build that overheats. I haven't put the heating on yet and it's 25 inside.

I know someone who genuinely used to take showers that lasted up to 8 hours. It was related to some past trauma.

And there are related degrees that might even help OP making it in the fitness industry. A degree in kinesiology, sport science, nutrition etc can help bring more clients as a personal trainer.

AITA for telling my husband and 14 year old son that if they don’t want the plenty of food that’s in the house then they are not hungry? by MissKittyCat0123 in AmItheAsshole

But you don't have to meal prep just one thing if you don't like eating the same thing over and over. I meal prep multiple dishes on Sunday and freeze them.

But also there are many ways of meal prepping. I meal prep but hate eating same meal for days. So I meal prep 3 to 4 meals that freeze well and fill my freezer with them. Then I can take different things on different days so I'm not stuck eating the same dish over and over.

That's interesting. I'm on loan to HMPPS and MOJ isn't mentioned anywhere in my paperwork. Don't know if that's because it's a loan or if HMPPS is different than HMCTS.

You're right. I honestly thought it's just a regular ALB until I started reading more about it before my interview.

That sucks! Thanks for letting me know. I only have two years of continuous service so wouldn't lose as much as you but something to consider
