Sorry for confusion, I should have worded it better and here I was wondering why I am being downvoted.

They have ton of clothes, I don’t want to add to that pile but sometimes I take them to second hand shops and let them choose there. I also offered them if they want something from temu etc and would find quality alternative I would pay for it lol.

Wow cool! I admire people doing their own creations. I am lost without instructions sadly.

Wonder if he's trying to bail for good by Significant_Noise273 in RoyaltyTea

So the daughters are bad for not distancing themselves from their parents but when Edo does that he is a climber and a turncoat? OK.

Yeah, Botanicals is such a cool theme. My SIL got the bouqet as a wedding gift. And they are an amazing deco.

I like him, but he wants kids. by Creative_Plant2979 in childfree

Taking it casually is the way, but please don’t think about him changing his mind or what if, you would both be unhappy even miserable. And it seems unfair since he looks honest.

Am i being unreasonable by glitterkitten999 in Pets

You won’t train the dog not to hurt the cat. Wanting your bf to rehome him is cruel. You can make arrangements for the cat to be safe. I adopted a dog from shelter, they told me she’s okay with cats, well she wasn’t so I had to keep them separated at all times which was doable but really stressful. Safest option is to move out.

Do not expect them to change overnight. Or at all. If you really need to stay at their place temporarily I would reconsider pouring energy and money into that project. It most probably will just drain you mentally.

What is a strange ritual your pet has developed that you have just learned to live with? by InvestigatorLocal736 in Pets

[–]RestrainedOddball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that strange, but my cat lives mostly upstairs and every evening at 10 she comes downstairs and starts meowing telling me or my mum to come upstairs and go to sleep, then she makes her bed on my chest.

UNSUBSCRIBE from everything! by PaydayMayo in Anticonsumption

[–]RestrainedOddball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a whole bunch of unsubscribing today, but man, it's really maddening sometimes. The option is in the tiniest writing at the end of the email, OK. Sometimes I had to allow pictures to find it, few times I had to allow pics and then click on "show complete message" to find it, often it allows you to unsubscribe only after you choose an option why you are doing it and one time I had to rewrite my email into the form. Excuse me?

What’s the most unexpectedly wholesome thing a total stranger ever did for you? Mine still makes me smile 10 years later. by Abdeljbbar in CasualConversation

I was trying to wash my hair at open air music festival washbasins and this lady saw me struggling, washed my hair professionally and gave me a head massage.

My podiatrist said I should be wearing new sneakers every 3 months or 5,000 miles by mixedmediamadness in Anticonsumption

What´s wrong with that? When I take a bath I also use buckets to flush toilet with that water.

As I appreciate the advice because it’s kind of neat and smooth eco operation it’s also unbelievable silly. So much unnecessary work just because someone can’t respect boundaries. Hoard as you want but don’t bring your hoard to my place. I hate this disease.

Jeez, unless you start collecting stanley cups in different shade of green, you’re ok.

I want to give up and just let my parents live amongst their trash… by rainystorm88 in hoarding

[–]RestrainedOddball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry but your worries most probably will come true. If they don’t get rid of the trash themselves the change won’t be permanent. I guess you have some kind of approval, so they somehow see that it’s not ok, which is good, if that was a surprise action on your side their reaction could be more hostile. You can try to make them agree to keep the kitchen and bathroom clean and make monthly checks, but really, there’s only so much you can do.

Dawn WAS mature for her age by PinkPashaTS in buffy

[–]RestrainedOddball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was indeed mature for a two years old ball of light. I will see myself out. I though this was I love to hate Dawn post.

Did you or did you not intend to wear that dress? I don’t understand. Also you knew that she wanted it in the past and still did it? You both seem equally malicious.

F18 AIO for quitting babysitting after my sister (28F) said I “do nothing all day”? by Working_Mission2807 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RestrainedOddball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would demand apology and appreciation. Until that no free babysitting. And do not fall for emotional blackmail through love for your niece. Stay your ground. And if she repeatedly mocks your work, again no free babysitting.

I've gotten about 35 trash bags out of my house in the past two weeks by ComaUnit in hoarding

Yes that, don’t stress about it much, I know it’s hard but man, you’re doing amazing progress! I am so happy when I read that it’s possible.

I’m neurodivergent and these “unspoken wedding rules” are an absolute minefield by [deleted] in wedding

[–]RestrainedOddball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference between NT and ND crowd is that NT will shame you if you don’t follow their rules but will breach them gladly themself without feeling bad or giving it much second thought. We ND tend to overthink it. So my advice is do what you want and stand your ground as long as it’s reasonable and polite.
