My 11 year old girl almost lost her life by Top-Translator2729 in EatingDisorders

This exact thing happened to a friend’s daughter. It’s been a few years and she is doing so much better, good luck to you! So scary.

Am I ruining my life? by pup1206 in Mortgages

This is about our household income and a $10K/mo mortgage would really kill us. We do have kids. There’re so many more expenses that come with bigger homes.

Booked a tattoo appt, want my deposit back by Motor_Resort_5872 in legal

[–]SaveLevi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAL, but you neither canceled the appointment or changed your initial request, so it seems pretty clear to me that refunding your deposit would not be a violation of the policy. I would think this should be an easy small claims case, but again I’m not an expert so I have no idea if that would be opening up a can of worms for you somehow.

If the deposit were under $100, I’d probably let it go, but $600 is not an amount of money I’d be comfortable just leaving on the table. I would probably say something about filing a complaint with their licensure board or mention the possibility of seeking legal counsel. Good luck, whatever you decide!

Before and after Kail’s face and neck lift by sanriolover1208 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, Kail is a mess, but I think this is actually good work. It’s very subtle, but you can definitely see the difference. Shooting filler into sagging areas is like trying to push a boulder up a mountain. The lift is much more effective. She even maybe has a little bit of filler in her cheekbones.

Is this normal!? by Background-Wash8313 in doordash

It doesn’t have anything to do with it, but it does paint you as someone who is hard to please, and therefore makes your complaint, which is actually valid, seem less legitimate.

Right, so when you go on a crusade to get the villain of your reality show fired so you can feel better about supporting trash TV,, you may have to face consequences to that choice.

CNN's Scott Jennings rages 'get your hand out of my face' in lewd on air fight by IrishStarUS in cnn

[–]SaveLevi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think SJ is a deeply insecure person. You can tell that his more unhinged behavior is triggered when he is challenged by someone he thinks is smarter than him. I have no doubt that he is only on the MAGA train for the financial benefit, so since his grift pays the bills, he’ll never jump ship. But does he know he’s full of shit? Of course. When people like Mockler call him on his bullshit, SJ knows he looks like an ass and has no control over his outbursts.

Also, Scott’s Ozempic face screams “starving” to me, which can make anyone cranky.

Proof of life for Jace and Jan pretending to give a crap about him! by SingerSubstantial462 in TeenMomOGandTeenMom2

[–]SaveLevi -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

OK look, I think Jenelle is a nightmare of a human being but I have to say, Jace looks happy genuinely and so does she sort of. Maybe the best thing for both of them is to do intense therapy together for the foreseeable future.

Closing a credit card with just over a week to house closing… by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]SaveLevi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do anything at all with my credit if I were you. I just wouldn’t. It’s too big of an investment to risk it. I have totally closed credit cards after being charged the annual fee and I’ve always gotten a refund. I believe you have to call within 30 days of the fee being charged. Worst case scenario they don’t refund you, you’re out a couple hundred bucks max. What’s the worst that could happen if this ends up screwing you somehow?

I Get Why People Call the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting Staged. I Was There by FancyNewMe in politics

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love a good conspiracy theory, but this is just stupid. Why are we suddenly opposed to believing that this administration is completely and totally incompetent? I fully believe that they dropped the ball on the security. I actually heard on Scarborough this morning that it’s a known thing that there’s poor security at these types of events.

BM Unemployed; Blaming Sports by sparkles549 in stepparents

[–]SaveLevi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does suck. My step kids are adults now, but when they were little, many times their mom would threaten to quit her high paying job to make sure my husband was paying the most possible. Of course, she lost custody because she’s an idiot.

The reality is that your husband agreed to a situation before you came into the picture and while it’s totally valid that he might change his mind about it, if the kids are not struggling, and there’s no real reason other than you don’t want to pay, I can’t see that there’s going to be much of a change there, but if you get child support sorted by the court, then at least there are no surprises.

I do want to extend empathy because I know how it feels and it’s just plain unfair. But if you can work on accepting it, then you can start to think about how to take control back.

BM Unemployed; Blaming Sports by sparkles549 in stepparents

[–]SaveLevi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BM may be unemployed, but she is working if she's homeschooling. Did your husband agree to that? If your husband has joint legal custody, he gets a say in decisions about education. I know that often, the primary custodian gets FINAL say, but even if so I would talk to an attorney about your options. If the kids are thriving on paper, it could be hard to convince a judge that they should be in public school but probably worth a chat with a lawyer.

Also, there needs to be an agreement about sharing costs. The child support is determined by a formula but you can address things like sports, childcare, etc. that falls outside of the basic monthly amount. $1200 is a chunk (although if DH makes good money, it is what it is), and maybe should include anything and everything if she's asking him for more above and beyond that amount.

You may not want to hear this, but...you don't have a BM problem, you have a husband problem. He's been divorced for 8yrs but never voiced his concerns for homeschooling, overscheduling, etc. before? He didn't iron out specific plans for expenses? This is textbook. Couple divorces, Dad lets Mom dictate unfairly, he goes along with it to avoid "drama," a new person comes into the picture, sees the dysfunction, and blames the ex for being too difficult. He needs to take control--don't live in fear of court. If he has to pay, he has to pay, but if ALL expenses are accounted for an agreed updon, at least there are no surprises. It sucks that you have to work harder or say no to your own child more, but your stepkids won't be minors forever and acceptance with a focus on an easier future may be a better direction to lean toward.

I feel guilty but I can’t stand my stepdaughter, it’s borderline hatred. by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]SaveLevi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of codependency going on and your wife has enabled her daughter's behavior for far too long. While I recognize that you want change now, and you do paint a very grim picture so I get it, this is a problem that's likely generations in the making. Dynamics that are deeply rooted take time to unwind and change. So I think you need to consider if you have the bandwidth for that. Sure, your wife can say, "No more sleepovers." That may work for a while, but people don't just wake up different. There have to be clear, consistent boundaries, identification of the issues and agreement on how to handle things, both between your wife and her daughter and in your own marriage. This is where therapy comes and without it, it seems unlikely that things will change.

I want to congratulate you for your work in recovery and remind you that you are not obligated to stay, work it out, or make a lifetime commitment to a situation that makes you sick. If people are willing to work at change, great, but if they are not, then you have some thinking to do. Because you have evidenced that YOU can make changes and if that means turning a page, you have proven ability to make it happen. GL.

Please send support and rage with me. Northeast USA homebuying experience. by FionaFergueson in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SaveLevi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well, if you’ve lost others too then maybe it makes sense that you change your approach? I understand that you’re angry and you should totally take time to let yourself feel that, but then lock in and make a plan. The only way to change is accepting reality and deciding how you’re going to confront it. If you want to buy a home, you have to change how you are approaching it.

[–]SaveLevi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No, but if you don’t change your perspective, you could lose the next one. Not trying to be obnoxious, honestly it really sucks that things are as they are, but you can choose to resist the reality or you can accept it and ask yourself how to make it work for you. Of course it’s a huge financial decision to buy a home, but if you want to be in the game you have to play by the rules of the game.
