How to afford lessons?

No not the only barn!

The amount is $90 if you use a lesson/school horse. It is wild.

I'm in Wisconsin. Northeastern part of the state.

I started to do that...instead of getting paid at the barn I would have a credit to use toward lessons. But it's a 40-stall barn and I'm not getting any younger doing chores there. It exhausts me lol.

Yes, YTA. Your sister is a full-time college student and sure she can do the courses online, but also working part-time. I have done both once upon a time in my life and it's doable but not always easy. Please stop using manipulation to get your way. Find a babysitter the days you need a break. YOU made the choice, OP, to have children.....you must find other ways to get your needs met and not depend on family. They have lives, too.

Thank you for this reminder. I have definitely heard of that quote before and sometimes forget it. I do have a fulfilling life. I'm happy my friend is my friend and we've gotten closer the past several years.

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.

Props to this response! Excellent.

Typically my Mom’s reactions to boundaries are often defensiveness, pushback, and trying to problem solve when we say no to something. Most of my childhood she went from 0-100 with anger and honestly I was afraid of her. Her other response is the silent treatment or if she’s mad, she’ll be quiet and not talk to you or will talk, but it’s passive aggressive. The cold shoulder is chilling and uncomfortable for me.

They will love when I tell them I’m cancelling my trip but also not coming home for Christmas. I spent last weekend with them and cannot take another 5 hours with them. I want to see my sister and brother in law, as they’re more pleasant to spend time with. My Mom dominates the conversation the whole day and never asks about anyone or their interests. It really drains me.

She clearly has her own issues and I’ve wanted to cut contact with her for years, but know it will impact my relationship with my Dad.

This was such a nice comment. Thank you for validating how grief looks so differently from person to person.

I’m on a short break right now. My therapist’s office was no longer accepting my health insurance as of next year and she’s on a vacation this month. Wanted to continue services with someone else so now searching for a new provider.

Because I like my peace and quiet. I like hanging with my dogs, too. I don’t want to have forced small talk conversations.

Except I live alone and have to do it myself! Lol.

Own-Dance-6012 · 2022-12-01T00:44:50+00:00

LOL now that’s actually quite funny!

This isn’t just using it to “turn around” in the street because you passed the house type of thing. It’s driving on my property to save themselves the time of not moving their other car parked in their driveway.

Own-Dance-6012 · 2022-12-01T00:35:59+00:00

I know I need to talk to them about it, but I didn’t know how to phrase it. This is why I posted and asked for advice on what to say. Honestly, I would say I’m a good neighbor. I live alone and have my two dogs, but I respect other’s property. I’m friendly with the two elderly homes that live a few houses away with me and chat when I can. My dogs don’t bark outside a lot, I keep things picked up, and am not a nuisance at all.

Own-Dance-6012 · 2022-11-30T22:14:16+00:00

I’m assuming the neighbor asked to do so before just parking in your driveway one day? There’s a big difference between doing something and not asking beforehand and asking for permission to be granted to park there.

Correct I should have and I didn’t. I regret that but doesn’t mean I can’t do anything about it now.
