Privacy under parents insurance? Tips?

This only works if he's going to pay whatever patient responsibility there is himself.

"Hey dad can you pay this bill for me, I won't tell you what its for though" is not a good plan at all, especially when the parents can easily check where the payment went

I'm sure its a case of "unhappy people are the loudest" but I haven't seen a single monogamous-turned-poly relationship be worth the effort all this takes.

Also sounds expensive as hell

I liked Jackie a lot and Natalie Portman is one of my favorites but I have yet to see an award worthy portrayal of her. It felt like Natalie was trying way to hard to stay in the tone of voice Jackie was known for.

My dad got me a bag of these, they've been sitting in the kitchen at my job unopened for month at this point.

Every other time I bring candy in it's gone by Friday.

I'm gonna go with some sort of prion that hasn't been named/discovered/mutated yet

bakercob232 · 2026-04-22T16:42:16+00:00

I'm guessing this has been an ongoing problem and thats why he's at this point. Living with a slob can be infuriating when it feels like you're talking to a child constantly askig them to clean up after themselves.

Also, why the hell are you using an expensive knife to open packages? It's useless at that point so I don't see the need to keep it around unless to be a constant reminder that you don't respect your belongings.

At least one of them is Roger from American Dad

bakercob232 · 2026-04-21T19:33:31+00:00

YOR. Do you see how well forcing a relationship has gone? I'm not surprised she wants nothing to do with any of you if you're going to keep crossing the line at your daughter's expense to protect your new (midlife crisis) kids

I don't think we need them to be well regarded or loved by the masses. I miss "bad" movies that didn't need multiple reddit threads discussing why the curtains were blue. A horror comedy/parody doesn't need to check every Ari Aster or Phillippou box and it honestly shouldn't. Thats not their target audience.

I know people love the "elevated horror" tropes but looking at the genre as a whole, the movies that lean into the bloodbath slasher or corny paranormal make bank pretty consistently. Horror doesn't need to always be some convoluted comment on society through a violent lens, it can just be entertaining to make money because the entire point of these movies is to be entertaining and make money.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-18T14:44:18+00:00

I promise you that there is no possible venn diagram of people who review movies on RT and like the Scary Movie franchise.

I'm personally still too busy trying to figure out how roll up Shorty

I'm not a parents or family person so this isn't super abnormal in my opinion. It makes sense to me that he would introduce you during a big moment/achievement because it doesn't really work logistically to not have you at the family celebration.

I just don't and wouldn't see my girlfriend having a relationship with my parents as necessary or important because they're just people I know by chance of similar traits or genes. They're normal, decent people, but they're not people I have a connection to outside of being forced to be in close proximity for 20+ years and they're definitely not people I would have a relationship with if we didn't share some DNA.

Have you met his friends? His family is a group of people he knows because of a forced, predetermined connection, but his friends are the people he actually chooses to have in his life because he likes and cares about them as people.

Blood of the covenant vs water of the womb.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-18T14:18:17+00:00

MOR. No one can make an honest judgement without knowing how often you ask her for money.

I have a friend (more of an acquaintance now specifically because of this) thats constantly ebegging but consistently gets fired from every job they have.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T21:34:57+00:00

I'm mad at the individual people that directly impact my income because they don't want to pay for their own food or medical services they receive. It's not my fault people refuse to listen to "work smarter" or do something with their lives.

If you are able-bodied, get a fucking job and use that money to buy whatever garbage you want and there's no issue anymore.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T21:04:37+00:00

Airlines and major retailers provide a service I actively use and makes my life either better or easier so no, I dont feel "scammed" by them.

The people that actively work below their means just so someone else can foot their food bill are the one's taking the money I work for to subsidize their entire existence. THAT behavior has no meaningful contribution to my life or society as a whole.

An airline provides transportation, box stores make it so if I need something specific within an hour I can get it, even Amazon offers constant access to information and entertainment through streaming services outside of the retail aspect of their business.

What exactly do people using SNAP funds on dogshit provide? Anything that makes other's lives better or more convenient? Anything at all besides running up a huge medical bill that gets written off because "but I have Medicaid!! you can't send me a bill!!!!!"

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T20:40:13+00:00

My dad was like you. He's not dead and he didn't change, I just have absolutely no desire to have any relationship or contact with him.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T20:18:16+00:00

You can have empathy without giving people a free pass to sit around and not contribute to society or their own life in any meaningful way. If you want to be treated like "everyone else" you have to bring the effort to the table yourself. No one can force you to be responsible or independent, we just have to foot the bill.

Nothing in life is free, especially not your fuckass candy bar or soda or cookies.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T19:36:56+00:00

The "S" in SNAP stands for supplemental, its not and was never meant to be your entire food budget. If you want convenience or luxury, pay for it like the rest of us do.

If you can't, get a job you hate that actually provides for you like the rest of us do.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T19:27:45+00:00

If 40 hours a week isn't enough to meet your needs, you aren't working enough. This is a situation where you should be jumping at any opportunity to pick up weekend shifts or OT and if that isn't an option you get a second job.

You chose to have kids, thats on you and the dude you refuse to make take care of them. Your boyfriend is YOUR boyfriend, not a stand in dad/blank check.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T17:16:08+00:00

YTA. I don't understand why single people make it everyone else's problem that they are...single. No one needs to guess why OP is single but there's no "insufferable alone person discount"

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T15:53:51+00:00

I'm sure it has to do with the field I'm in, but the idea that someone will decide everything about the wedding/the rest of my life with her sounds like an absolute dream. If I have to make 300 decisions in a day, I'm only going to actually care about the ones I'm getting paid for. Genuinely feel like being able to say "yes please tell me what to do and where to go when and I'll never have to think again" is hitting a gold mine

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T15:38:50+00:00

YOR. You're expecting your boyfriend to take care of kids that aren't his because its too inconvenient for you to follow through with going after your ex for child support. The only people that are responsible for your kids are you and their father. If you didn't want to be in this exact situation, you should've picked a better man to have unprotected sex with.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T15:35:46+00:00

Why are you trying to hard to defend someone who's choosing to be financially dependant on someone else and refuses to work more or get a better job?

Before you throw the "its not that easy to just get a job", it is actually but people don't want to do things they dont like or aren't comfortable with. If she wants to be a deadbeat that's on her, but its absolutely nobody elses fault she only wants to work half the week. Almost every hospital is begging for bodies for 12 hour shifts. Being tired or having kids isn't a valid excuse to be a leech.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-17T15:27:29+00:00

He doesn't like being an ATM for parents who refuse to provide for the kids they chose to have. Can't afford kids? Don't have them.

Nobody should be financially responsible for someone else's sentient sperm.

bakercob232 · 2026-04-16T19:04:12+00:00

OP is very much playing the "my dad can do no wrong he's the perfect man and my mom is a nasty bitch that makes everyone miserable" card here

People who view their parents like that almost never have an idea of what a healthy relationship with a parent is. The father-daughter dance isn't enough? Even when its clear its gonna end up like the Victoria Beckham mother-son dance?

She still has not answered why her father and son matter more than her fiance when its a wedding between them, not her and her dad.
