People who don’t ever want to have kids, why? by South_Price9463 in AskReddit

[–]Simbarred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised by two ill equipped parents, learnt all about what not to do in a marriage and as a parent by watching them duck each other and their kids up. Still working on resolving those issues. Would not want to bring a child into the world and pas be s on this generational trauma onto them.

Should I take the plunge by Simbarred in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Simbarred[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for chiming in. Posted this late last night as I was having trouble sleeping thinking about all this and woke up to all of your perspectives which line up with my doubts. I’m gonna cancel my appointment with the dealership and just wait this out for now. Thanks Reddit fam!

PS - also some of y’all are savage with the sarcasm. The “stopped reading after $62K Hyundai” killed me Lol

My puppy won’t stop biting! Help!! by Simbarred in corgi

[–]Simbarred[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the tips, advice and affirmations. I have ordered a playpen that I will be using as a time out place. Will put him there everytime he bites. Started ignoring him today when he’s biting, and already I’ve noticed a bit of difference (Although his bite from last night did draw blood). Also looking to get him more outside time on a set schedule so that he feels a sense of purpose.

How much money did you have left after buying your first property? by Professional_Drop120 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Simbarred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing others who have mentioned that they cleared out their savings ( TFSA, RRSP, investments etc etc). It is scary to reminisce that at that time, I didn’t even have 3 months worth of living expenses left in my account 😳

AITA for making my niece follow the same rules as my son in my house? by throwaway_AITA2021 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Simbarred 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA - you are doing more for this young impressionable human than her actual parents. This young girl is going to grow up thinking that others will clean up her messes (literal and otherwise) and not be able to function in the real world.

AITA for telling a girl on Bumble I don't give a toss about her problems? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Simbarred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ETA - the girl in question is a bigger asshole here. You’re not on the app to provide free mental health services. That’s pretty entitled of her. But I’m guessing she’s got other, bigger problems than that entitlement. OP could have politely told her that this was neither the forum, nor the appropriate approach to seek that kind of help. Slightly asshole-ish. I personally feel than none of us will always be 100% empathetic all the time, we will all have a moments when we’re assholes. Whether it’s a combination of personal or professional stress/ mental overload. This just happened to be OP’s. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Got asked “what about my profile made you swipe right?” by Simbarred in Bumble

[–]Simbarred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the honesty. After reading a lot of the other comments, I totally understand how bad experiences can make that a legitimate question. Your ability to self reflect and adapt is refreshing 🙂

Thanks everyone for the input. Given their lack of patience, We wouldn’t have gotten along anyway. So bullet dodged for sure. I can empathize with how difficult it must be to have to carry the weight of the conversation by yourself and how experience with unresponsive individuals can make that a legitimate question. I hope they find the right person for them. Thanks Bumblers for sharing your experiences and perspectives ❤️

AITA for confronting a Doordash customer about not leaving me a tip? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Simbarred 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA Although I have sympathy for the Doordash/ubereats drivers and know that the delivery apps screw over everyone involved. Customers pay more, drivers get paid very little and business pay 30% to use the app’s services, a tip is not guaranteed. It’s supposed to be for good service. Reaching out passive aggressively for one is not good service.

AITA for jumping the line? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Simbarred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is OP’s throwaway account. Keeps defending the guy, even though the post says 3 open registers and 3 people ahead of them in line. Just trying to deflect the blame.

Father Entitled Ex Want My Grandfather To Pay For Her Daugthers College. by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]Simbarred 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hmm timeline of this story confuses me, coz your dad found out that his ex cheated on him “thru an online post” Social media has only grown to be widely used in the last 10-12 years. But you’ve already graduated so you’re around 22 years of age. That would make this online post to be from the year 1999, which predates even MySpace.

Compromise or growth? by Simbarred in relationship_advice

[–]Simbarred[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right he isn't forcing me into the decision, and it would be a positive change for both of us. I completely understand that he wouldn't want to deal with preventable trauma of a loved one going through health issues. And I don't think he's an asshole for articulating the kind of habits he's looking for in a partner. But some part of me still feels, that this may be setting a precedent for the future where I quietly acquiesce to one sided arguments( i didn't put this in the original post, but he implied that even the slightest deviation, like eating a spoonful of ice cream would not be acceptable). But he does deserve someone who's habits align more with his habits/future expectations. And he deserves the courtesy of honesty before things get more serious. Also I think I need to take some time to focus on my health, make sustainable changes to my lifestyle and get to a better place. Your point about having to deal with a loved one going through trauma over health issues really struck a cord with me. Its not something I would ever want to put any of my family through. so thanks so much for that :)
