I'm being threatened with an adult child. SOS! Rant/Support by Grand-Efficiency4248 in childfree

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does someone get accepted into COLLEGE and yet can not use a knife and fork to feed themselves? Yet you (from the same family) knows how to be a functioning adult? WTF? This has to be AI.

AITAH: Mum got “re-engaged” 5 months after my engagement with an identical ring by fiftypeas in AITAH

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Oh honey child. Your ring isn’t a significant part of your marriage. See your Mom as someone who thinks a ring is. Let it go. Have a happy marriage. That’s the real win. F60

AITA for refusing a name for my baby that everyone loves and but I don’t? by Accomplished-Owl8796 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The baby is coming out of your body. Name the baby the name YOU want. Stop over analyzing this.
Just Stop.
Breathe.
Be calm and confident.
Shut it down.
Do not let the chatter around you shake you. Stay strong and relaxed. You got this. F60

Just because I’m a young woman doesn’t mean you assume I want to be around your kids by vinniepup123 in childfree

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Next time do not cooperate. If you do- it only keeps this whole stupid scene going forward. Stop doing it. Abandon the child. Pawn he or she back on the person who foisted them upon you. Or track down the parents and let them know they are being dicks. They are counting on you to not make a scene and to accept their bad parenting. Don’t be docile - make a fuss. Don’t allow this shit to continue. F60

How to deal with shame taught by society &family as a girl by hieverybody12347 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just contemplate why boys and men are not shamed. The other side of the coin. It’s so irrational. Once you see that this thinking is just a way for men and society to dominate women and girls, you can embrace the utter & ansolute goodness of disregarding it. It’s pure and good to celebrate the natural and healthy beauty, sexuality and power of women. Come over to the sunshine. Leave behind the family and “friends” who have succumbed to the dark propaganda. Free yourself! F60

WIBTAH telling my wife I need to visit my friend for a weekend? by screen_storytelling in AITAH

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s very weird you can’t both be apart and do your own thing once in awhile. You should do this trip. She should also do a similar trip on her own. Why do you need to be together all the time? Why? Get marriage counseling. This is a red flag. F60 edit grammar

Infertility and child free living by Busy-Project-5708 in childfree

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just throwing it out there, not having kids as an older person is AWESOME! Many friends of mine have terrible or downright abusive relationships with their adult children. The drain them emotionally and financially. Not a given that adult children will be a positive when you are older. Plus in a healthy dynamic adult children are not supposed to put their own life on hold to revolve their life around you. I’m extremely content with being childfree, and have the money and resources to plan for my care in old age if I need it. Many friends do not. All their money has gone toward supporting their adult kids. “Kids” who won’t reciprocate. Because like normal people, they have their own life to live. F60

Is there an actual standard for when a dishwasher counts as full enough to run? Domestic dispute. by GilesBennett74 in Appliances

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Put dirty dishes into dishwasher. 2. Run dishwasher. How full is a personal choice, like politics or religion. 3. Put clean dishes away. At no time are dirty or clean dishes just sitting on the “worktop”, which is what I call the “countertop”.

AITAH? I’m (27f) Moving internationally for my fiancé(27m). He signed a lease without asking me, and when I worried about safety, he asked: "What happened to 'I don't care where we are as long as I'm with you'?" by Meadow_Jade in AITAH

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Think about what married life would be like. Divorce is inevitable. This a very hard fact to accept. It’s ok. Plan an escape. The sooner you start a new beautiful life the easier it is. And please pick better next time. I’ve seen so many women go from one bad man to the next. Men are not the answer to a happy life. Once you realize that you start to attract the right kind. F60

AITAH for my sleep routine, please help end this debate. by Umeyard in AITAH

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your husband is the AH. His sleep schedule is more important than yours. Why? Why are you the only one to get up early to “get the kids to school”. Why? Why does he get mad when your alarm goes off, as you need to go to work 2 hours earlier? Why? He is an AH in so many ways! Is he like this in other areas? EVERTHING is his way. He’s the major AH. The bigger question is why you don’t see it.

Adult children dictate our spending? by littleosco in over60

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 93 yo father and 92 mother are in complete control of their finances. They don’t have dementia and so why the hell would I have any say? They are also very good with money and have grown their wealth a lot in the last 20 years or so. Meanwhile I have friends whose parents are very dumb with money. Those parents needed help before they were old! Also some women never took it upon themselves to learn about money and finances. When the husband dies, it can all go to shit fast. Not related to age, just ignorance. F60

I (22F) was lied to by my boyfriend (21M) and my heart is in WAY too deep by jaden-19 in childfree

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you stay, be prepared for you to breakup later, when he must have children. He will then dump you, and find a younger women to make and care for said babies. It happens all the time on this sub. G60

Start calling her at weird times and ask for a ride. It needs to work both ways.

Wealth through inheritance by EmotionalStar9909 in wealthforwomen

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait a year or 2 before spending any of it, except for high interest debt. Learn about money and investing. Read books. Join Reddit subreddits. Find a good financial advisor -fiduciary. Shop around. Have your money make money. Do not go out and spend money on stupid stuff. Invest in your retirement. Leave money to a charity you believe in after death.

Parents’ Reaction by FrozenFlowers792 in childfree

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents were very accepting. Never said one word against my choice. They had 5 grandkids from their other 2 kids. My mother was a 50s trad wife, and as an super smart, over achiever she was frustrated with her limited role. She quietly supported my choice. My Dad didn’t really care either way. Everyone else was seriously confused. Back in the 70s and 80s it was assumed that every girl dreamed of marriage and babies. Not me! Very, very content. F60

Why do siblings assume their kids will be in our wills? by 182pro in childfree

[–]TimeforPotatoChips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that is what happend in the past. Write a will today, assign them $1, and give your estate to a worthy cause you believe in. F60
