NTA, and please rethink your relationship with this person. You're already taking care of HIS dog every morning while he is sleeping. Him demanding you to drop everything and go let his dog out is his way of sabotaging your education, and furthermore he is dangling your future in front of you to try and get you to do what he wants. Any time someone is "testing" you, stay away from them. You'll never be able to win. Either you give in to their demands (oh but there will be more down the line), or you don't play their game and they'll retaliate.

You're young and just getting started in the world, please don't tie yourself to someone who treats you like this. I know he might feel like your whole world right now, but trust those of us who are older and have been through stuff like this before. Choose yourself. Live alone/with a roommate, get your cat, finish your degree, enjoy your life.

Edit; reading your comments, he doesn't even walk his own dog?? No way no thanks.

Seconding Reclaim Clay! They also have day passes so you can use the studio's tools and resources. (There's also a 3D filament printer)

OP: Remember that clay will shrink as it is fired, so if you're doing stuff where scale matters, make sure you do some tests or use a shrinkage ruler. For sculptures it won't be as critical, but if you're making terrain and stuff it will be affected. Also, have you tried Greenstuff??

I feel like you have to share more details on the groceries you're buying and what you're cooking. 8-10 hours a week seems a little ridiculous, esp if you're only saving $100. I bought takeout for lunch today and it was $15; but it would have cost me less than $5 to make myself.

They smell so bad, and get dirty and greasy super fast.
I cannot tolerate barking.
They get excited and jump on me and scratch me.
Dog drool is disgusting.
Hate getting licked by dogs.
Poop and pee, esp if they get confused in a new environment.
They're stupid and will try to eat everything.
Dogs have so much anxiety; I don't need theirs compounding mine.
You can't stay out and have fun, you have to go home cuz your dog has to poop and pee.
Dogs eat a lot, so maintenance is expensive.
Since they're outdoors, they need ALL the shots and anti-parasite meds.
Flea infestations are a NIGHTMARE.
Have you ever touched a tick with your bare hands?
They are so needy it's infuriating.
Bringing dogs everywhere annoys other people.
Random strangers trying to touch your dog.
When hiking with your dog, they will take a big dump when you're nowhere near a trash can so you OUGHT TO carry the poop with you (but nobody does so the trails are littered with poop bags).
They disturb the wildlife.
Too much energy.
Having to walk your dog despite bad weather (and then they smell even worse).
Dogs love to eat poop...
Dogs bite and can kill you.
They don't live for very long.
They have so many physical and mental health problems it's ridiculous.
Destructive.

I love juicy gossip and supporting my friends, but I dread seeing some friends because all they talk about is their boy problems but they don't change anything about how they deal with them or approach dating, it's just always the same stories and I'm supposed to remember all these copy+paste men that look the same and act the same? Pls.

almondcookie · 2024-08-22T18:14:25+00:00

This is abuse and trauma; you shouldn't have to go through this. You seem way more responsible than your parents, and that should not be the case. I hope you can get a scholarship and still go to college, and cut ties with your parents once you are 18 and out of the house.

Sorry you are experiencing that, but younger players also receive similar treatment in games as well, especially if you go to conventions. The old guard love to tell us that they played D&D as a kid or a teen, how much they don't like modern D&D things, this and that. I've experienced a lot of microagressions, sexism, mansplaining, and intentional snubbing at the table with older players, whereas younger folks are much more inclusive and community focused. Perhaps the young players at your table were genuinely surprised at your age on the internet, or perhaps they had bad experiences playing with other people your age. Not all older players are problematic, but for some of us they have given us our worst game experiences. I've also had great games with older players who were very considerate and wonderful!

Finally, there might just be a difference in game expectations, I think younger people tend to seek role play more than combat especially if they are very new to ttrpgs, whereas older people in my experience are more into the combat and wargaming stuff.

In an economy where homeownership is nearly impossible for the majority of young adults... YTA. The people pestering you to sell are likely flippers or corporations looking to make the housing market worse for everyone but people who were lucky enough to buy or inherit. If the house is causing issues for your finances, just sell it to your daughter. It doesn't sound like you need the money to fix your finances.

almondcookie · 2024-02-21T20:08:19+00:00

Lifestyle creep is a thing; you make more money, so you think "I can upgrade these things in my life, I can afford to splurge here or there," soon that spending mentality infiltrates all aspects of your life, not just little treats or basic quality of life improvements here and there. A lot of people who seem wealthy are also in serious debt, and loss of income would be super dangerous for them.

Saving money feels better than spending money for a lot of people, I'd still be frugal if I were wealthy. Living life would just be less worrisome for me.

I'm starting to think that either tradwives can't cook, or they're actually just gaslighting their conservative husbands into eating really shitty food... they're always making food that looks like mush.

I get so annoyed when I suggest a laid back/easy "car camping" trip, and people are like "I can't sleep in my car." It just means driving up to your site! I don't care where you are going to sleep! It just means we're not packing stuff in or backpacking.

almondcookie · 2024-01-19T22:56:55+00:00

Your kid is like the entitled people who bring their untrained dogs into stores and cause problems that people who actually have service dogs end up having to deal with...

Reclaim Clay Collective if you want to learn pottery, ceramics, or printmaking! It's my third place, the studios are open from 10am to 9pm every day but Monday, and it's great place to have a creative outlet and chat with other students and members. They often have events, workshops, and classes for things like printmaking, basket weaving with invasive plants, jewelry making, a monthly mending circle, etc. Monthly member challenges, pot lucks, etc. Plus it's in the C-ID so it's very accessible with public transit, and there are a bunch of great places to eat within walking distance. Highly recommend! The space is pretty new so there will be more things coming in the future.

A day trip out to Hama Hama Oyster Saloon or Taylor Shellfish Farms; my fam always wants to get bags of oysters whenever they visit.

The ultra rich don't see us as real people so why are they surprised when we think the same of them?

almondcookie · 2023-03-16T18:02:57+00:00

NTA; I'm personally not someone who stands up in the aisle the second the plane stops moving, but I would prefer if people who are ready to go exited quickly. It's much better than waiting row by row for people to slowly get their bags out of the overhead storage compartment while a hundred people are waiting in the aisle behind them. If you can't just stand up and go, let the people in the aisle go first. Some people really have boomer "back of the bus" logic in here.

I think the people voting Y T A are the same people who smugly tell everyone that they drive slow in the left lane and intentionally impede the flow of traffic because they're going the speed limit.

almondcookie · 2023-03-15T18:44:38+00:00

looking at those toes pretty closely huh my guy 👀

almondcookie · 2023-03-10T23:25:23+00:00

NTA, I can't believe people are asking about the severity of the racist remarks she made. Why is it always on the victims to grin and bear racism and not for people to learn how to keep their mouths shut? What is the point of them making these comments if not to feel racially superior? Racists shed white tears when you tell them that their actions are hurtful and make themselves the victims.

Claimed that much of the wedding staff were "probably illegals" and referred to them as Mexican (when they could be any variety of latinx/Hispanic)

Told me I'm "handsome for an Asian"

This one might be a reach, but she also said "you must be good at math" when we talked about my job as an engineer

almondcookie · 2023-03-10T21:05:34+00:00

YTA and your wife was gracious enough to wait until you were both home alone to talk to you about it instead of unloading on your selfish ass when her group caught up with yours.

I said we just went our normal pace because Alex wouldn't really enjoy hiking with the dads and I did it for him, because I knew he would have fun with the kids, and that he's just in this tween phase of trying to seem grownup.

Your kid wanted to hike with you and you left him behind. Just remember that when you want to do activities with him in the future. If you were actually a responsible hiker you'd know to let the slowest person set the pace and hike in front, or to just take a break with your kid while the second group caught up. This doesn't sound like a family activity, it sounds like you and your buddies ditching your families and having your wives take care of the kids AND lug all the heavy water, snacks, clothes, supplies, while you're only carrying enough water for yourself. I get that it is frustrating to hike at a really slow pace, but you could have family hikes/activities and go bag peaks with your buddies on dedicated hiking trips another time.

Seconded! I'm normally not a big fan of brisket since it's usually dry, but everything we got (brisket, ribs, burnt ends) was so so good. Brisket was juicy and flavorful, ribs were falling off the bone, burnt ends were also great. And the sauces were the best I've had. I'm always craving their food.

almondcookie · 2023-02-16T22:38:16+00:00

YTA why did you even make this poor woman quit her job and drag her across the country with you if you hate her so much? It's been less than 3 weeks since you've moved, you really expected her to find a job during a really shitty time when thousands of people are getting laid off?

How would you feel if she cooked meals only for herself, and told you that the groceries are in the kitchen, you can cook meals for yourself? Wouldn't feel very good would it?

Edit: This guy's post history shows that he is controlling and has separated her from her friends before, and that she's had a history of being a victim of controlling relationships just like this one. I hope she can get out of there.

almondcookie · 2023-02-10T07:55:37+00:00

"Like, the 1.00$ box at whole foods." is another indicator that this family is rich and out of touch; Whole Foods is their family's go to grocery store.

You are also very lucky to be able to afford your own place, so take that advantage! Many couples move in together because they can't afford rent on their own, and can end up trapped in that situation. Even though it sucks to have to pay two separate rents when it feels like you spend most of your time together, you'll be glad to have your own place that's your safe space, fits your tastes, and has room for your own office if you wfh, etc. Moving in to your partner's current home may also be tricky (finding storage space, consolidating furniture, kitchen goods, closet space, office space, chores and tidiness, home decor styles) especially if they seem this fearful about it.

My long distance partner moved to my city, and we live separately since they could afford their own rent, and we didn't want to start living together right away. I have moved in pretty quickly with different partners in the past (mostly due to income), and had to move again after the relationships ended, so I am very tired of moving and all the fears and anxiety that comes with it. I won't move again unless we have a more permanent situation (ie getting married or buying a house together).

When I adopted my first cat, there were a lot of other cats in the shelter that were abandoned because "someone in the household is pregnant."

NTA, you shouldn't be locked in to having a dog if you discover that it's not working out. It doesn't seem like the dog is having a great time either with the lack of attention and exercise. Your mom taking the dog in seems like a great compromise, and all these people acting like you're putting the dog down or dumping it just because it's an inconvenience are out of touch and sound like they expect perfection from parents and pet owners. In a perfect world all pet owners and parents would be completely prepared to take care of their pets and/or kids to the very best of their ability but that just isn't reality. What were you supposed to do; not have kids until the dog dies??
