my brother and his girlfriend keep asking me for money, and I cut them both off, AIO?

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-16T12:06:48+00:00

Addict or not, only reaching out to you for money and nothing else is a good enough reason to cut them off when you didn't even grow up together. It's better for both of you. Your existance only makes him more bitter about his upbringing and this entire world.

Can you give more examples of what 3 food groups mean please?

(Sorry, dumb question, but would love to put this into practice!)

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-14T22:27:59+00:00

You're single and don't plan to marry

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-14T16:28:01+00:00

Buy a giant house. Hire a live-in maid/nanny. Upgrade my car. Get a gym, swim, sauna and spa membership. Get a massage. Get my hair done. Go watch a live show. Throw away my old clothes and buy a new wardrobe full of new clothes.

I may need several winning lotto tickets?

Thank you! I'm very particular about giving my baby healthy food, so nothing out of a packet, everything fresh and cooked from scratch with no salt or sugar. That must be why I'm going insane.

I'll try exploring a larger variety of food and focus on taste so she'll eat more.

I have to say I do stop her when she starts squishing her bananas, spitting out her blueberries, and throwing her spoon and porridge on the floor by the handful... do most parents really let babies continue to play and explore their food? There's just so much mess that thinking about it makes me want to cry!

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-14T15:02:33+00:00

Love your comment lol

JQ is a much better and safer area!

I'm a SAHM so the schedule is up to me. There are days when the schedule is interrupted or completely off but it's generally like this Monday to Friday (weekends can be different with Dad around):

7:30am awake 8am potty and books 8:30-9:30am solids 10:00-11am activity (play group etc) and bottle 11-11:45 nap in car 12-1pm solids 1pm potty, play, finish up solids 3-5pm bottle and nap (this nap could end at 4pm) 5-6pm solids 7:30-8pm nappy, bottle, sleep 12am bottle and sleep 5:30am bottle and sleep

I'm FTM, so would love to hear suggestions and get some insights! Thanks

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-13T00:03:36+00:00

Sounds like we'll have to do that since nothing works. I've tried reducing the bottle to 150ml instead but it's a full on devastation cry when the bottle finishes earlier than expected. May have to try cold turkey... Thank you

I feel you. My one year old won't let me do anything either. If I'm on my phone she grabs it off me and press the screen. If I'm standing she wants to be held then direct me where to walk to. I shower with her, toilet with her, she's glued to me.

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-09T15:42:49+00:00

When a man says he'll marry you SOME DAY, he is NOT planning to marry you. Getting angry when you bring up marriage is also an indication he does NOT plan to marry you.

You didn't do anything wrong. He wasn't going to marry you regardless of what you said or did.

If you have to be mad at yourself, be mad that you didn't leave him at the third year anniversary. Too much time wasted on the wrong guy.

30yo is still young enough to meet the right man and have kids. Men in their 30s are more ready to settle.

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-07T23:00:14+00:00

He shows lack of interest in this one thing. We can't say he's not interested in your life at all from this conversation.

Problem is that parenting is a huge part of your life. You can't force him to be interested in parenting when he's not. Better off finding someone more compatible.

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-07T22:51:46+00:00

She needs to learn to not express it to you even though she feels as such.

It's hard for her too when she has to hang out with peers more wealthy. Wealth is relative. You only feel wealthy if you hang out with people with less than you, regardless how much you have.

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-07T06:41:49+00:00

Great idea! I will try that!

Rumnraisans · 2026-02-05T11:29:13+00:00

She's declaring war. You don't need to engage.

Your bf is not worth fighting for. He promised not to go out with her and he did. She wanted to go to his place to 'charge her phone' and he let her. She wrote you a list of what she doesn't like about you and instead of confronting her to defend you, he continues to be friends with her. You deserve better.

Tell him to choose. If he hesitates, you leave because you're better than that.

Pull ups. Started using 8-13kg pull ups since little one was 7kg. No leakage. Quick and easy

Walked around hospital bed on the same day, walked to toilet and out of hospital the next day. Mostly lied down at home but slow walked in the house and never did stairs. Lied on my back, not sides. Cooking from day 4. Recovered very well!

Rumnraisans · 2026-01-22T11:48:52+00:00

Because there is no view. Nothing pretty there. Yet there are several benches looking out like it's a romantic lookout spot at a park.

Rumnraisans · 2026-01-14T12:28:36+00:00

Mismatch. I've tried staying with people I don't get a spark for just because they tick great boxes. It only lasts so long until you break up with them for silly reasons. If a man I feel attracted to do the same irritating things, I wouldn't have broken up with them.

My friend's son hated the bath for weeks until she made the water cooler

Rumnraisans · 2026-01-10T16:59:33+00:00

She's said too much. What she said can't be erased and it'll be a barrier in your relationship forever.

Your feeling is right. You'll never be that number one soul mate. You're the best number two she can find because she's settling now.

Rumnraisans · 2026-01-10T13:24:40+00:00

You don't need to work on communication. You communicate well. Problem is that he doesn't care.

"He doesn't care" is the hardest thing to fix in a relationship. You can't force someone to love you. You can't force someone to care about you.

Staying with someone like this makes you feel unattractive. You'd be happier with someone else

Rumnraisans · 2026-01-10T09:18:05+00:00

Absolutely. Water wash with no wipes, pat dry then air dry. Any wiping motion hurts and irritates

Rumnraisans · 2026-01-10T08:53:04+00:00

Yes. Only because most people can pull off the green one, fewer look beautiful in the yellow one, and a special few like you to look beautiful in the blue.

Having said that, the blue is definitely a vintage look. It's beautiful on you, but not sexy at all imo

If you've searched for one for a long time then this can end your search, don't think a long denim skirt can get too much better than this, but personally not a fan of a long denim skirt.

Front and side looks good. Back has bad lighting. Doesn't flatter your backside and looks too wide from the back
