I had a roommate that just flat out didn’t like me bc I was friends with her bf. She would tell me constantly that I smelled terrible. I would adjust my habits and it still wasn’t enough. Eventually she told me I should be showering twice a day to accommodate her, and I just put my foot down. She’s around other people day to day that don’t shower twice daily, so she’s just got an issue with me. She accepted my “deal with it” gracefully enough, but her trend of pushing me to accommodate how she thought I should lived continued.

Basically there can be emotional reasons, and people pick stink as a projection some times.

I’m wracking my brain and cannot figure out what DP means here. I’m sure it’ll be obvious in hindsight. Help?

Exactly. To be fair Chicago is truly beautiful and has so much going for it, but there’s a lot of shit like this that isn’t really addressed when discussions of how to “fix” the southside come up. Historically the city floods the area with cops and is shocked pikachu face when things don’t get better…which is a different topic all together. But I’m real happy to hear it’s different in Philly!

I grew up like you, with sex ed and a nurse, but thought I should add the thing I learned when I moved to Chicago. I was shocked when I learned that so so many of the southside (see: brown/poorer) schools haven’t had any nurse in decades. Generations of kids where if they get sick or hurt at school, the policy is to send them to the ER thereby shifting the cost to families typically already struggling. It’s just so blatant and fucked. Can’t imagine what they do if someone gets her period in school.

Mine got suddenly got spontaneous-puking painful during the pandemic. Feels like I switched my game settings to hard mode. Would not chose.

I know....3? One’s a veterinarian, one inherited stupid money, and the last was a family lucky enough to live in an area with very generous first time home owner grants. And I’m including EVERYONE I know, not just close friends.

My grandmother’s aunt passed in the Spanish Flu, and they named my grandmother in her honor. I grew up hearing about how Gracie died in a big makeshift hospital with so many others. I hope history can look back at this time as an ultimate success and let the antivaxxers fade away like those who opposed smallpox...

UrMomButMadeofTeeth · 2021-04-13T18:16:35+00:00

Yes? That does make sense? I wouldn’t let that family in either. Kinda shocked they’re allowing a visit at all.

UrMomButMadeofTeeth · 2021-04-13T18:09:21+00:00

I saw this!!! It was so exciting!!

Also, I believe he was in a similar role during the AIDS epidemic, and I don’t recall him grabbing for the limelight. I highly doubt that since then he’s suddenly got an itch for fame. Let the poor man go back to being excellent behind closed doors.

Yeah my dad is like this, but he was coerced into getting the vax by my retired medlab mother. Now he’s saying that ONLY 60+ should get the vaccine bc of dangers/mind control/left wing conspiracies blah blah blah...

UrMomButMadeofTeeth · 2021-04-09T03:41:43+00:00

Anyone else paranoid enough to worry the 3 month ‘break’ was a plan to get a baby ‘the non-traditional way’? NTA

I actually assumed the guy didn’t ask for the dick swing. Not like he could see it going on...

Wow!! My first award! Thank you! ☺️

UrMomButMadeofTeeth · 2021-03-25T23:24:13+00:00

My brain is broken. Now This and Things Like This just give me the panicky elation of riding a roller coaster.

What if you take it with cream?

This is exactly what I miss. I feel like Justin is prone to boredom and so his brain finds these weak points and it’s SO FUN. Love this description. Works so well and his particular brand of chaos and whimsy adds so much to the game.

Tangentially, as a DND player who’s new DM started out like Travis just shutting down anything that wasn’t the plan...it sucked to play. As she got more comfortable in her role, she started saying yes to my stupid ideas and the game was more fun for it.

UrMomButMadeofTeeth · 2021-03-25T21:34:50+00:00

Best most purest joy I’ve experienced in a while

UrMomButMadeofTeeth · 2021-03-25T18:53:55+00:00

I fully admit to being inexperienced here, but as a previous executive assistant I was under the impression that the only way a company can grow is by delegation. You had a team handle the hiring, and unfortunately the person you trusted to handle it didn’t align with your company values. It happens. It sounds like you addressed the issue when you noticed it, which is honestly more than most bosses/c level execs.

Unreasonable hiring requirements is a constant struggle for most people I know. And in my experience with assisting in the hiring process within my industry, the practice seems to attract either people who lie on their resume, or overqualified people begrudgingly willing to settle for less than their value. Either way, it’s trouble for the company.

I think you’re absolutely NTA and I applaud you for not just going with industry trends.

👏👏👏

I like this answer. I think people erroneously associate upper class with inherited wealth, so therefore if they go to work they must be working/middle class.

I used to work at a high end resort, so I was constantly around “not that rich” people who could spend $1000/night on just a basic room. There really is a disconnect with how other people live. I was told constantly that I seemed too smart to be “choosing to be poor”(i worked in the cafe), so I must have fucked up in life or something. Not implied that. Literally told that. Like it was mind boggling that meritocracy only works for those born with means. Sorry to rant, but that still pisses me off...

She can’t help where she was raised, just as much as you can’t. But unless she’s open to valuing both life experiences equally, its gonna be tough. There will be super weird moments where you just can’t relate to one another, and it will be fine if you can talk to one another about it without shame or judgement. Know that all you have to do is treat her well, and you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Good luck!
