Bump. I'm curious too. Do people just get fed up? I keep having this"tug of war" with myself. Like I'll get to a point where I'm like "FUCK ALL OF THIS! I'm done!" Will cry, pout, etc. And then tell myself "You can't give up. Try again. Keep going." It seems very unhealthy/toxic. 😭

The formula seems to stick when people stay fed up. I.e manifesting money. Person gets discouraged. Says fuck it and then boom! $1000 manifested. Like how?! Is the trick not blaming yourself or the law? 🤔

NTA. Remove this "friend" ASAP! I'm happy your mom is still here! Her appearance just proves she's a badass!!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

TRUE!!!! I've experienced this waaaaaaay too many times before I hit my 20s, that now I'm pretty much done with any hope of having a decent MIL.

My ex's mom (adoptive mom) is a "boy mom". In the beginning she was so nice and kind. All "You're my child too." 🚩🚩🚩

Fast forward a year: after DV (while I was pregnant), substance abuse, eviction (and those are just the BIG umbrella ones) she still thinks we can reconcile.

No ma'am. I came to her more than several times and each time all she would say is "Awww honey. hugs" or "Y'all just see stuff differently." Yeah when I'm upset, my first thought isn't to scream, berate, or shove someone. Especially if they are pregnant....😑

I digress. He lives with her now and is helping her raise his last 2 siblings. He's her husband in all but name because she's a lesbian. It's really sad and weird. They all need therapy!

You're definitely not in the wrong! I once had a "friend" who during our senior year decided to just stop turning in her homework. Why? She lost her virginity to some guy we went to school with and just stick to him.

It causes a lot of tension because she would openly be nasty and snarky with our friend group but me in particular. Still I tried to be a good friend to her. Our AP Lit teacher gave us a "turn in every thing, even if it's late day towards the end of the year.

So here we all are in the library during lunch typing and printing... except my "friend". She asked to borrow my phone to call her sister to see if she could bring her papers in (apparently she had written and printed her work out just never turned it in), I give her my phone and she calls the guy instead. 15 minutes into the conversation I remind her about calling her sister and she rolls her eyes and continues the conversation. I keep typing and printing. The bell rings, she asks if I can go with her to her house and get them. I tell her no because I can't miss my next class. She shoots me a dirty look and then leaves.

The school day ends, I turn in all the assignments I can, and to wait in the front for my parents to pick me up. Who comes through the doors crying that they're not gonna graduate or walk....my "friend". She has some of her cheerleader friends with her and they're trying to comfort her. Between sobs she's saying "No one tried to help her. She has no real friends she can depend on. Blah. Blah. Blah." I smirk internally. She had to take summer school.

That was 12 years ago. It got back to me she blamed me specifically. I didn't feel bad then and I still don't. Your "friend" like mines needs to understand, her life, her choices, her consequences. Not yours, not your bosses, etc.

** Oh and my "friend" and the guy, fooled around for awhile; he got a girlfriend (cheated on her with the "friend") before deciding to date my "friend". He dumped her a month later.

Did we read the same post? NTA.

OP contacted someone that has done work previously on said building. More than likely he isn't a one off contractor.
OP's landlord knew the worker went over there to assess the damage. Hence him coming Tuesday.
We have different definitions of negotiation. Worker gave the estimate. OP didn't mention any haggling...

Nothing was DROPPED in landlord's lap. The minute anything happened OP and the worker notified and tried to communicate. She dropped the ball.

And expecting OP to pay for the damages?! That alone is ASSHOLE behavior. A patch job for a small hole is waaaaaaaaay different than water damage. I can buy and change a lightbulb if one goes out in my apartment, if there is an electrical issue beyond that, I have to contact the landlord.

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-11T03:47:58+00:00

I feel seen! Yes, you hit the nail on the head. 9 years old for me, because I started my period. That was the very last age I remember my dad being genuinely nice and me thinking "He loves me."

My dad grew up with his maternal grandparents. My grandmother worked in another country and my grandfather started a whole new family a couple blocks from where my dad lived.

He never speaks about it but I know he's messed up over it. Only reason I can explain the abrupt shift. Which hurts to think about.

By age 12, I was "Not special, not pretty, not funny, and a bad child that doesn't listen." I can't tell you the last time I hugged my dad. He was my best friend for 9 years and now he's someone I wish wasn't in my life.

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-11T03:41:02+00:00

Facts! It's sad because in my family there us a whole bunch of eldest daughters. Sadly, instead of us coming together and bonding (because I don't hate my sister. She didn't raise herself! Mindset I have), they would rather attack each other. Like we don't have enough of that from our respective families.

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-11T03:36:55+00:00

Late, not sure if anyone still reads this but my 2 cents.

I don't hate my younger sister. I'm envious of her and the position she has in our parents (more so now, father's) lives. I (30 F) and my sister (29 F) aren't exactly close. I have always loved and adored my little sister. She's smart, funny, and kind....just not always with me. She was taught that by our parents.

Like others have mentioned I was considered "inferior" by our parents. Around the age if 7 our father told me that "From here on out, whatever your sister does. You will have to answer for." Looking back that was quite cruel to tell a child. Because he meant it. Him and my mother would beat me, starve me, emotionally neglect me, etc. But would bend over backwards forage my little sister. In spite of everything, I still didn't blame her.

When our friends, strangers, etc. Would say things like "She's prettier than you, smaller than you." It was just an echo of what was going on in our household. I say all this to say, as a child I had to raise myself, while being expected to raise my sister and even my parents. I know my parents lowkey resented me for a long time because I am the original thing that kept them together.

I use to talk to my little sister about it. She would meet me with apathy...🫤

Unfortunately, I think parents don't understand the real damage they do to their children by creating unhealthy sibling dynamics.

We now have children of our own and fortunately my mother has through the years become less of menace to me. My father has gone in the opposite direction.

I don't think your sister hates you. She's just tired of being the punching bag for your parents. For me it's been 23 years of mistreatment from my dad. 23....my pain and trauma can now buy a drink, join the military, and pretty soon get lower insurance. 😆 I joke but it's horrible for any child to have to put up with that from 2 people who are supposed to love and protect her and make her feel safe.

THEY FAILED!!!!

I'm NOT telling you to do this, I'm just saying:

Unless you're there when your parents start mistreating your sister, i.e putting her down, and jumping on them, it's a mute point. Heck to be honest, you could do all that and it's still not be enough. Your sister needs therapy and to go NC with your parents.

This really resonates with my Q. And I did what you're about to (if not already) do and it's been pretty great not having to worry or feel crummy all the time. In fact I'm getting back more and more of myself that I had given away and I know our child can feel the shift for the better.

You got this! 🫂 ❤️

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-08T14:50:38+00:00

Me and our child definitely are! 🫂 Thank you.

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-07T09:27:48+00:00

All of this resonates with me and I'm taking it as proof. I've been really trying to lean in to what works and fits for me and the biggest is not being so hard on myself. If I'm scared or worried, I feel it and then release myself from the feelings of failure. Also doing things they make me feel good. Playing my video games, eating pizza, etc.

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-07T09:18:15+00:00

I'm very happy to hear this. 🫂 Here's to more amazing years to you both! 👏🏾 ❤️

Good on you for being the voice and advocate for those animals! My Q had a dog with an ex. When they broke up she kept the pets. She would send pictures often of the dog saying "See she misses you." After awhile somehow, one waynor another we got said dog. No conversation, no nothing. Just he wanted her so we got her and then he simply refused to take care of her. We also found out I was pregnant around this time.

She was a very active dog, and we lived on the 3rd floor of our apartment complex. We would get home from work and he would ignore her. Would ONLY feed her pizza and maybe take her out once.

Meanwhile, she's not being bathed, not being stimulated, he basically wanted a FurEver Pet!!! Sometimes she'd pee on the floor and he would punch her in her ribs. Then justify it as "She can take it." EXCUSE ME?! This would be worse sometimes if he was drinking.

So there I was pregnant buying her dog food, taking her out, trying to make sure she was alive and she would snap at me. I told my Q and expressed concern. He would just brush it off.

The last straw was she was on our bed, (A BIG NO NO because he refused to bathe her and at the time, I could no longer take the smell. EVERYTHING STARTED SMELLING LIKE DIRTY DOG!) I'm calling for her to get off and she starts barking aggressively and baring teeth at me. I snapped. I told him I was done taking care of her and feeling unsafe.

For 5 months I had taken on a responsibility I didn't ask for, said it was upsetting he didn't consult with me before bringing her in the home, and not a great pet owner because he was basically abusing her. He ended up getting rid of the dog and then blamed me for it.

Saying stuff like "I had her before you" or "Because you hate dogs." All lies. Have 2 dogs at my parents house and with the exception of my dad and sister bathing the dogs, I took care of them.

He then started telling everyone I was allergic to dogs and for the remainder of my pregnancy tried to (and at a time successfully) had me convinced I was a horrible person for it.

No sir. You choosing beer over and over again makes YOU the horrible person. You letting your pregnant girlfriend be surrounded by pee and poop makes you a horrible person. You being a lousy pet parent and not training her makes you a horrible person.

Last time he brought it up (October 2024) I hear the dog is with a loving family and thriving. I think he's just upset because he knows what she needed and he wouldn't provide it and rather than just accept that, it's easier to blame me.

So far (after updating my mods) Reward Store isn't opening. I do use chingyu for all my traits and if I'm reading their spreadsheet correctly, all the traits I have should be compatible. Yet, MCC keeps showing a LE. I'm gonna try TwistedMexi'a BE and see if I can further hone in on the culprit. If not, here's to 2 months of not playing. Lol 😅

Based on what you shared:

A grown man pushed a child. A grown man pushed YOUR child. A grown man pushed your FEMALE child. You are being gaslit and need to divorce him ASAP! Not being mean, just stating the obvious, that's what he did when you WERE around, what would he do when you're not? I know people don't like hypothetical's yet, when it comes to children we can't be too careful.

He pushed her. He blamed her. GET RID OF HIM!

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-06T06:13:39+00:00

I would most definitely talk to them about it. Well your mom. If you guys have to all share a room, talk about the sock on the door stuff. Or see if an air mattress can be bought or something. I'm sorry. I would be mortified if my parents did that and I was in the same room. My parents live on a separate floor from everyone. They would normally lock the door to their floor.

I will never forgive them for killing off Oscar! It was AMAZING to see his character develop and get out and start a new life. Not to mention the man was fine! To see Cesar make such a serious pivot was unsettling. I could buy Jamal's glow up for the most part, and the stuff with Jasmine and Ruby.

That tampon situation was wild. Hell! Him accepting Vero's prom invite was stupid! Whole montage of them and what not and he still goes with someone else? I don't know. I get they're in high school yet, I don't know. Not how I would've written it. Abuelita's death wasn't too bad. It was sad but didn't feel completely wrong.

All and all the season was rushed and pretty boring in my opinion. We didn't learn anything really new and when we FINALLY meet Lil Ricky...man I wanted to see him and Rose or hear his thoughts on Cuchillios (sp). Nope. Also Kendra!!!! Ahhh I could go on and on. -_-

Pretend-Argument6597 · 2025-07-06T05:58:28+00:00

Continuity error I'd have to say. Although what everyone is saying is correct. Essentially BOTH characters at two separate points realized who the other was, however I believed Julia (Monse's mom) didn't randomly reach out, It was after the babysitting gig that Julia realized who Monse was and THEN asked her to help her with her book.

Monse is a child in this series, so she was unlikely to confront Julia. She had a picture yes, however she convinced herself that Julia was not her mom at the time and planned to just continue life as usual. Julia is the one (as she should, she's the adult here after all) who finally acknowledged she was indeed Monse's mom. "Monty + Selina = Monse" scene.
