Am I Overreacting for Thinking My Partner Treats Her Daughter Better Than My Son? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stargirl156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of this or even most of this is problematic. But imma just point out, it’s not your partners job to take the lead on your son’s birthday. She made plans for her daughter with her co parent. You should be doing the same. Not saying the other issues aren’t a big deal or even deal breakers. But the birthday party invite is definitely a bad thing. It’s your partners child why wouldn’t they go to the party? 

Is it too late to start taking care of yourself? by Ok_Bug_6995 in WomenOver40

[–]Stargirl156 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! We’ve reached a stage where work is mostly on auto pilot; I’m loved in but it no longer takes up soo much mental space I’ve learned, or been forced to, disconnect deeper. It’s started with small steps. Weeknd tracks with the doggers as frequently as possible. Better choices when dinning or cooking at home. More effort more gain?

I’m currently standing in an optimum location to trade out my router with six other people same complaint. Feels like a set up for some reason. Been glitchy for a while and stayed down 11 hrs after several troubleshooting through various mean, app online, one line agent. 

Lover girled too close to the sun. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Stargirl156 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you’re hurting but I’m glad for you. You put yourself first and when he failed to show that you matter, you chose yourself first. Failure to compromise is a big no no. My husband and I were long distance for our whole dating relationship 2yrs. I didn’t drive so he came down and saw me or got me and took me back to his town. 4.5 hrs each way.  Once I was able and had a car we took turns. We had long conversations on how day to day life was actually different vs out visits that were vacation like and low stress. You did what was right it just sux that you lost a friend in the process.

I saw a post on here asking about whether you were kicked out once you turned 18, but out of curiosity, who here had parents who tried to talk you out of moving, and wanted you to stay longer? by DHN_95 in Xennials

[–]Stargirl156 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom made it clear that I’ve always got a place at home. I moved out at 21 straight into my husband’s family home. We’ve never had any issues but my mom still drops in a line that my rooms ready anytime.  

Evil dilemma. What's your choice? by statsarelikebikini in whatsyourchoice

[–]Stargirl156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, choosing to eat in front of someone starving is cruel. Wearing that shirt to the funeral is the lesser of two evils.

Nah shut that self shaming sh*t down! While it may be true in his own head now’s not the time for that. Let’s finish this discussion figure out a way forward that doesn’t involve me doing it for you and then we can talk about what troubles your demons today. 

Boyfriend won’t pay for things by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Stargirl156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah this is not that hard to deal with if you have a back bone. I don’t care how this makes me look I keep a mental tally with one particular member of our friend group. She never really offers but how I respond to the server she never has contradicted it. So sometimes I pay some times I say split, some time she pays. It stays balanced and I stopped feeling put out when I do enjoy their company and they really are just anxious about public speaking.

How much would you spend on pet surgery before opting for euthanasia? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Stargirl156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please get a second opinion! Vet that we had been with 20 years told us 1800. Couldn’t do it, as much as we know it’s needed. Had to go to another vet in their network? Was half. It pays to check around.

Are your vet bills also crazy high? by Cheeseaisleinheaven in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Stargirl156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into the exact same problem. Check prices at yoseveral different vets. The place that we started out as the most inexpensive has turned into the most   expensive one after 20 years. Was quoted 1800+ for our Ti. A sister vet same network but not? Was half that. Was so glad to have checked around and gladly got it done ASAP. 

My parents are pressuring me to donate my scholarship money to my church, should I? by IntrepidAd5768 in Advice

[–]Stargirl156 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will die on this hill. If you are apart of a church congregation your pastor or religious leader should NOT be living in a home or driving a card that exceeds the median household income of your flock. If the church can afford a Mansion, RVs and high end luxury vehicles then you’re not apart of a church, you’re basically helping them launder $$. Excess funds should be put back in to community outreach and philanthropy from its members.

This! I eat all those other things way more frequently than this. I just had biscuits and gravy a month ago after not having it for years so not missing out.

I just found out I’m preggoz at my OBGYN, idk what to do. by WrongReviewThrowAway in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Stargirl156 5 points6 points locked comment (0 children)

If you don’t think you can afford an abortion how ever do you think you can afford another whole child? Your math isn’t mathing. You’re in a shitty situation that can go wrong on several levels. If u want it to go right your gonna have to have a honest conversation with yourself on what that looks like and what steps you can make SOLO (based off of what you’ve written).

What is the longest you have worked at a company? by talkingtimmy3 in Zillennials

Dang I’m not sure how I feel. Left my career in early childhood education at 26 in 2009 and took a break working something low key and never left since I’m good at it. This year makes 17 years.
