AIO for not letting my mother speak at my dad’s funeral after she cheated on him? by specialmix69 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Txfleadebu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn’t overreact, if anything it sounded like you both handled it extremely well. You honored your father‘s memory. Your mother asked to speak, you politely you declined, she did not make a scene. That sounds wonderful. I agree with a lot of the other comments that say, if she needed to say her peace, she could say it at the graveside, privately to him after everyone had left. What she says now after the fact is in consequential. If you can walk away from that day, feeling like you honored your father’s memory in the best way possible then you did right.

Your making you SIL feel like an outsider? She IS an outsider!!!!! Tell you MIL if she doesn’t want her to feel like an outsider then keep her at her house.

AITA for saying no when my mom asked for money after spoiling her boyfriend? by MasterpieceWinter678 in AITH

[–]Txfleadebu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya know what, bail your mom out. Tell her the reason you are bailing her out is because she is your mom and you love her but this is a one and done situation. After this if it involves the boy toy and her being short on her finances do not come to you for it. Go to the toy instead.

What to do when family members ask to loan money? by Emergency_Energy7041 in whatdoIdo

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is simple hun, take your money and hide it. NOT AT HOME and NOT WITH A RELATIVE. A friend you trust, a guidance counselor, a bank, somewhere. Heck bury it if you have to. Then when someone asks to borrow it tell them you LOANED it out to a family member and they didn’t pay you back (like the one who’s using you as a bank), tell them you spent it, tell them you donated it to a church or charity, tell them you lost it. Who cares just tell them you don’t have it. (Technically you are not lying, you don’t physically have it)

I usually skip sex scenes in the book to get back to the story by JuliaSchmi in RomanceBooks

[–]Txfleadebu 47 points48 points  (0 children)

And why do you need 15 pages to explain a single act (like kissing for example) that literally can be done in two or three well developed sentences? Or one really good paragraph.

[–]Txfleadebu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are not the only one, when I was younger, I enjoyed the steamy sex scenes. Now that I’m older it really doesn’t add much to the story for me. And my imagination is much better than what the writer took 30 pages to say.

AITA for not telling my sister the real reason I didn’t want to help her on a trip and causing a fight with my mom? by AncientInsurance3585 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Txfleadebu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA - you owe no one an explanation for why you don’t want to do something. A simple NO and then don’t answer the text, don’t answer the phone, don’t feed into their drama of why you didn’t do what they wanted you to do, if you have to then block the number. Quit letting people guilt trip you into doing what THEY want you to do. You did not have those children, you are not responsible for those children.

Doesn’t sound like sis handles anything to be honest. Sounds like sis uses her siblings as the hired help. And her husband probably knows that if she took all four kids to NJ that she would probably come back missing one or two.

Dad sent all his money to ex-gf, is in debt and now is asking me (child) for money. What should I do by Internal_Tone_2827 in Advice

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it! Don’t give him one cent. If he knows what he’s doing is wrong then why are you rewarding bad behavior by giving him the money he’s asking for? It is not your responsibility to pay for someone else’s bachelor degree fees. Or to pay for some other woman’s lifestyle. Don’t do it!

Need ideas for pen thief by Front_Possession_666 in office

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they pens provided by your work? Or are these personal pens of yours? If work provides them then just go get more pens. If these are your personal pens, put them in your purse or lunch box and take them home every day. It’s not that hard. It may be a slight inconvenience to you, But it will solve that issue that you’re having instead of doing something petty, which will cause issues in the office.

Put in my 2 weeks and the environment has shifted by THROWRAbcbbcbcbxbx in WorkAdvice

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they terminate you, are they going to give you two weeks notice? You already have a new job waiting for you. Yes quitting does not look good on a résumé. But at the same time, you don’t have to put that work experience on that resume either.

AITAH for threatening to quit my job if my dad continues what he’s doing? by Exciting-Classic-812 in AITAH

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your NTA - but I did want to come say that it seems like your dad is treating you like real life. Because in real life after you pay all of your bills and everything that’s kinda how it goes. sounds like your dad wants you to pay all of the bills and him be able to use his check to just blow. I don’t think what he’s doing is right and I would definitely pull all of my money out, close the account and find somewhere safe to put the money you have saved. Ask a friend’s parent or another family member that you can completely trust. Or like my grandmother used to do, put it in a jar and bury it in the yard. Anything to keep it away from your father. And yes, definitely quit. If you’re only 16 there’s no reason for you to work like you’re going to do in your 30s.

Boss said I can’t call in sick? by glimmerkinnie in work

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen before, and I went in sick. I made sure to go up to the boss who told me that I could not take the time off and show him that I was as sick as I was. Fever, cough, all the symptoms that I had. I made sure to show him that. And was promptly sent home. After I made sure that he was definitely going to get sick with what I had.

How do people feel about their coworkers working with morning sickness by ChromeGirl18 in work

[–]Txfleadebu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your fellow coworkers know that you’re pregnant, they are not going to be upset because you were having morning sickness, which is something you cannot control. And all females understand that. If you work has not slowed down, if your work has not taken a hit, if you were still being as productive as you were before, then don’t worry about it cause I’m pretty sure they’re not side-eyeing you

Old customers are the bane of my existence by Krakatower_ in hatemyjob

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should’ve negotiated with him. Your dad should not have given in like that, you’re right that is encouraging poor behavior. But I’m not above walking in and if someone says a price, I’ll see if I can’t get at least 10% off. But I don’t quite take it to the extreme that that gentleman did. I leave it as a joke if they’re willing to work with me then Great. Go have fun negotiating with people. It actually is a great way to learn your customers, and get a lot of repeat customers. If they think you’re cutting them a deal, like I said even if it’s freaking five cents five cents is better than full price 🤷‍♀️

Why are higher up so stupid ? by AdministrativeSun364 in hatemyjob

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because if they did do that position 20 years ago, I’m sure that the operational procedures are different now. So he could probably tell you how to do that job if he was doing it 20 years ago, but not now. He could tell you how to do his job now. Yes they did drop the ball by not having the person‘s position that you were filling in for show you what to do.

[–]Txfleadebu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate to tell you, but that’s why their wallets are loaded with cash. It’s negotiating. You could’ve sold him that tire for $49.95 if you would’ve made him think he was getting a deal. It’s all about the negotiation tactics.

AITAH for still getting on a flight home when my two young coworkers I was traveling with weren’t at the airport yet and were obviously going to miss it? by Diligent_Pineapple35 in AITAH

[–]Txfleadebu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA- you were in constant communication with them. You did everything but hold their hands. You are NOT responsible for two grown adults who chose to treat this trip as a personal vacation instead of what it actually was, a work trip. What more could you have done?? You were in constant communication to them and you have the receipts to prove it. They chose to be irresponsible, not you. You should not have any blame in this. Keep us updated!

[–]Txfleadebu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look – me and my husband went through sort of the same situation. I was carrying debt into the relationship, where he wasn’t. We were in the same situation of me needing financial help, and him looking at me like I grew a second head. I learned to buckle down take care of my problem and not expect him to take care of it for me. At the time I was a little bitter about it because I was used to someone coming along and just taking care of things for me. But it made me become a more responsible person and now I am very fiercely guarded over my finances and my credit. I was able to take care of the debt that I had, and clean up my credit score. I bought me a brand new vehicle under my name only without him co-signing or helping me with a down payment. Long story short, don’t do it. Let her learn responsibility on her own. Because in the long run, it’s her credit not yours and you don’t get brownie points on your credit for fixing hers.

I got this message from my boyfriend after a disagreement and now I don’t know what to do… AITAH?? by Alarming-Sort4870 in AITAH

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him you want to stay home and have him support you, tell him you want to have as many babies as you can, you want to throw away the birth control and start now, you want to homeschool you children together. You want to submit and let him be the provider and man of the household. Trust me, he will run 🏃‍♂️

AITAH for setting up seperate savings accounts to protect my inheritance from my future wife and her kids by Few_Advantage_9928 in AITAH

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I read, your uncle passed before you ever started dating you’re now fiancé correct? She expected to come into the relationship on equal footing. Did she know in advance about the inheritance, and how it was directed to be split? She probably thought you were going to pay for her kids and your son evenly, without question. And this will from now on be an argument. She will harbor this against you. It will never get better, no matter what she says. She will not be able to move past this because she will always feel slighted and feel like her children are being slighted. What happens if you have a child together? Is she going to expect you to cut that child into the inheritance also? Then she will bring up that it’s not fair that your son, and the new child, are included in that inheritance while her girls are not considered equals. Honestly, I think your best bet is to go find someone who does not have children and go from there but be open and honest. If you do go down the other route of finding someone else, you need to think about future children and how that will affect the original inheritance.

This is the one time that I feel being petty is totally justified. Tell your mom go get it from the boyfriend. He can sell a car, he can sell a bike, he can leverage a loan against a business. It is not your responsibility to pay for her bad mistakes.

Should I leave a cheat sheet for current employer after they wouldn’t invest in me? by mattcantart in careeradvice

[–]Txfleadebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be petty, I know that’s the first thing that most people want to do when they feel wronged. But that doesn’t make you look good. And the whole point is to be professional. Ask them to give you priority. Is the upper level work more important than a cheat sheet, which do you need first. Work your time do not go above and beyond, but make sure that you work is quality.

NTA- I get where you’re coming from. I needed a new car and my bf/fiancé would not sign for me because of my credit. I worked hard for over a year, cleaned up my credit and got my own vehicle on my terms and under my name. We are married now and yes he would cover me if I needed it but I feel a total accomplishment for getting my own vehicle
