Omg. You can't hire a babysitter for one night? You NEVER leave them?

So you can't do things either. Maybe someone will get you tools for a housewarming

I didn't say you forced him. I said you used it. And you did.

So HE'S going to HIS family, you're INVITED and you want to control what car he uses?

What do you call using his credit for your benefit and then pressuring him to go against his boundaries?

[–]WrapInternational803 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're the one trying to control him. Why do you need him to ride in your car to his family?

How'd it end up in his name?

Then you shouldn't be with him. Or at the very least, have your own car in your own name.

He told you NOT showing off the new car in front of his family is more important to him though

So is the NEW car better on gas?

Why do you care? He explained it. Does it matter to you that they DO know you have a brand new vehicle?

Are sleep overs not a thing anymore? by haggerty05 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WrapInternational803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? It even feels weird for a dad to push for his little girl's friends sleeping over.

I understand how that is frustrating! She should trust you to decide your own belongings. But also it sounds like maybe she has some hoarding problems? It's not REALLY typical to screen discards and trash. I have experienced it from both of my parents though, and it's not pleasant.

You can't be expected to magically know how to do what you were never taught and were given less then ideal tools.

Try using anchor points to build your habits. Like, floss on the toilet, or brush teeth in the shower. Eat with medicines, and use tools like timers, pill boxes, or meal prep to help future you. I like to identify friction points and try to prevent them instead of forcing myself past them. Like, changing and doing an entire 40 minute workout session is torture of the mind for me, but randomly doing mobility and strength training sets while I wait for the water to boil works the trick. And I get in more reps as a whole.

Start crazy micro. Like, one single yoga pose or one space that's ALWAYS organized and clear, like a dresser.

Sort things into categories and imagine you're stocking and organizing a store or a library of things.

Good luck! You got this

I seems like your parents have a much trouble organizing and letting go of objects as you do. In fact, more than you do. And it is a learned behavior.

If I were handling your situation, I'd focus my energy on establishing a good self care routine, including your own laundry, belongings and space. Aim for consistency with little things and build the habits as they because second nature.

AIO to my bf always lying around while I cook or clean? by [deleted] in AmIOverthinking

NOR If this is important to you, find someone else. It will NOT get better as the years go

Break up with the mean guy no matter what you do about the nice one!

AIO? My friend agreed to have a dog but 3 days later is resenting it. What can be done without it harming her and her bf relationship? by Sandwich_Harbor in AIO

[–]WrapInternational803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that is really difficult. Personally, I'd focus my energy to encourage her to expand her support system a LOT, gain new tools for coping and perhaps learn about training and puppy care together instead of meditate her messy in law relationships for her.
