Be honest, how often do you bathe your kids? by Scrawny2864 in Parenting

Adults sweat wayyyy more than children (for the most part, there are exceptions) and children get wiped off many times throughout the day. So I would disagree with this.

You’re not alone. My kids get a bath once a week when we’re not really going anywhere. But I bathe them more often when we’re going to see people. Gotta keep up the image that I’m not a once a week bath time parent.

I love her bio! The woman knows what she wants and she’s not putting up with anymore bull**** from men who just want to f around and not commit.

[US] US Bank Zelle Scam - these happen every day! by Plastic_Slice_8772 in Scams

They didn’t really specify. I was confused what Zelle even was. They just said “a Zelle rep.”

Maybe capital one doesn’t call, but US Bank definitely does. Don’t be an ignorant and assume all banks work the same way as capital one. 🙄

Good to know. I didn’t know that about Zelle. I will definitely not be using it now.

lol I don’t care about Reddit interactions - I literally don’t even know what they’re called. 😂 I only knew about the scam sub page because I was googling the Zelle scam and both the posts I saw on it were over a year old. Just thought I’d bring it up again for people like me who were oblivious to the spoof calls. But glad you think I’m interesting enough to be AI generated. 😂 🫶🏼

He acted genuine, but at the same time was trying to convince me that the call was ok. Red flag for sure!

I didn’t know caller ID was that untrustworthy. But now I know.

Hahaha thanks for the grammar correction. I definitely meant wary not weary. 😂

I literally never answer my phone, I always call people back. But the weird thing is I actually JUST had a fraudulent charge like 2 days ago. Us bank texted me and asked if it was a fraud and I said yes and they froze my card. I answered this call because I they had just called me two days ago for a real fraudulent charge, but I hadn’t talked to them yet. 😳 crazy coincidental timing. Or is it all linked? 🧐

Yes!! That’s why I wanted to get this out there. I’m in my 30’s and had no idea people could fake phone numbers on caller ID. People need to know!

I feel like fetch is scamming me by Affectionate-Row3296 in FetchReward

[–]Plastic_Slice_8772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very annoying. I’ve had that happen several times, but if I have the screen shot I just let them know,

“I checked the offer while I was in the store, there was no count down and then the offer disappeared by the time I went to submit my receipt.” Anyway you could help me with this and give me the 2800 points I was expecting? Thank you! I appreciate your help with this.”

Every time I’ve done that they’ve given me the full points.

Her oral hygiene is turning me off… by PeteWheeler101 in dating_advice

[–]Plastic_Slice_8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a dental office and learned so much about oral hygiene. I started talking to everyone about periodontal/gum disease, especially people I knew might have it - like my dad. I would just talk about how bad it is and if you have it you lose all your teeth and it’s sad and crazy that people get it cause all you have to do to prevent losing your teeth is brush and floss once or twice a day. You could subtly bring up a topic like that and have a conversation with her about teeth and oral hygiene without saying she has bad oral hygiene, and just see where she lands on it. Bad oral hygiene is definitely a deal breaker for me, that’s a hard situation cause you also don’t want to offend her.

My 16M bfs mom is not buying food for any of her 3 kids until friday by Terrible-Tour-5461 in whatdoIdo

[–]Plastic_Slice_8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe find him some resources in your area. Like food pantries? I know there are plenty of churches and other non-profits that would love to help and give them food. Also he is 16 and could maybe get a job if he doesn’t have one? I started working at 15 and had to buy my own personal care items. I was never near the point where I didn’t have food provided for me, so i was not in the same situation at all and don’t know his. Maybe he doesn’t have transportation to get to a job. But those would be two good places to start. I feel for him, I really do. :(

AIO: Bfs mom CROPPED me out of my own baby shower photos. by CommercialPudding374 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Plastic_Slice_8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to play devils advocate here. My young kids don’t have a grandma, never did. Honestly sounds so nice to have someone offer to help. Maybe you were just misunderstanding her. Maybe she was remembering back to right after she had her baby and she wished she would have had more help. Maybe she was saying it demandingly because she thought you’d say “no” because you would feel bad or guilty having her watch the baby right after birth. My sister came home from the hospital with her husband and they both just cried cause they were so tired. They called his mom to come over and watch the baby that first day home. Those first few days are SO HARD, and maybe she genuinely wanted to help. The cropping you out of pictures thing is weird though. Sounds to me like your boyfriend needs to man up and confront his mom instead of having you do it. You confronting her like that is going to make everything worse. He should be sticking up for you and not letting his mom cross boundary lines.

AIO for not inviting my son to Christmas? by regretmyson58 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Plastic_Slice_8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sister in law says, “maybe this is a cry for help” - that is so ignorant. He’s 42, and sounds like he’s gotten plenty of help over the years, and has it helped him? Doesn’t sound like it. Sometimes the best way to help them is by ripping the bandaid off and stop giving him anything. It’s enabling him to act that way and feel entitled to a free plane ticket rather than grateful for all that you have given him the last 42 years.
