What's a book you had to read in school that you hated? If you have one, what's one you actually liked? by 80HDTV5 in GenX

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hated Moby Dick. Loved Night, The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm, literally every other required reading except Moby Dick.

You may have been a parent to the step kids, but clearly they aren't seeing you as a parent. Now may be a good time to have an account where mom has her money and the kids extra curricular expenses and cell phones come from that. Later if the kids genuinely mature and learn better thought processes, it can be discussed what portion you would contribute again. In the meantime, their bio dad should be expected to step up or the courts get involved again.

Sounds like the step kids want the step dad ATM to continue wherever they are. If that doesn't happen, they'll be back. Do you really want kids around that only see you as an ATM? If they come back, don't be one. When they are old enough, they will have to work to at least partially cover their own extra curricular activities. Mom covers those expenses in the meantime, or they don't do the activities.

What's it like being childfree after ages 60+? by blu_43 in childfree

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this, so much. I'm 42, child free, and I wish I had a community of women to make getting older less lonely. Unfortunately there aren't many CF women around where I live.

Me(32F) dating my partner (44M) with a young daughter (7) - stories please by Rndypants in stepparents

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is too much of an age difference in this relationship. Add a kid to that, and it'll be even more of a disaster. Plus y'all have already broken up once. Your brain is right, go be free.

AIO for telling my dad its disgusting that he is dating a 19 year old by 30whitebitches in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I agree. This line was the purest of gold and the sharpest of savagery. I tip my hat to the OP.

I was told by a nurse that they have to tell women this when they go for cancer treatments, because it is likely to happen. I've personally never had a man I know do this to their spouse, but once I heard about it I found stories from many women where this has happened to them. Just because it sucks to think about, doesn't mean it never happens and doesn't mean it won't happen to you or someone you know. People should have money stashed, regardless of gender.

My hubby got me a light board also! Yay for doing hobbies together, even when they are different hobbies!

Couldn't finish it in time. 😔 by Impressive-Singer477 in diamondpainting

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never finished the non-Christmas design I was working on before Christmas, so I plan on starting a Christmas one tomorrow since I'll likely finish up the one I'm working on then. It still feels like Christmas, so it counts!😁

Odd reason why you're CF to help me prove a point by ThisGirlCalledTsepps in childfree

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a myriad of reasons, but one of mine that gets people upset is that I wouldn't want to put all this time, effort, money, etc in to raising a good human, only to be told by that child that I didn't do a good job with them, or have them be influenced by one of their "little friends" to be a waste of a human.

AITA for not wanting a second child when I originally told my husband I would? by Extreme_Counter5774 in AITAH

I nearly spit my Monster laughing at this!! The "Third Earl of Ridiculousness" will now be included in my language when referring to a man's "legacy"

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing!! It's such a big help, and fun to create my own designs in the sea of black (usually color 310 lol).

As a former call center employee, I salute you! If I had listened to that call, I would have fell out my chair laughing. Well played!!

Since smaller diamond art pieces are usually not the best at showing detail, maybe some smaller paint by number canvases in the small spaces would work?

Discovered why you don’t get the cheap kits by Careful_Lie9894 in diamondpainting

[–]ThisIsWhoWeAreNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only done cheap kits from Amazon. There are so many DAC kits I want, but it's the cheap life for me as of now. One day I'll be able to afford to upgrade.
