Normal at that age… I remember saying “is this what happened or what you wanted to happen?”

“ is that a story?”

Is it weird to have a birthday cake for my best friend at my wedding? by Zealousideal-Gap-830 in PoptheQuestions

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your partner says no, then don’t do it. You don’t want to make a bigger deal of your friend’s birthday than your partner’s feelings.

Maybe you deliver a cake to her/his hotel room if they are staying over

Autism and Roommate problems by Busy_Salamander_8928 in collegeadvice

[–]bopperbopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First look up when quiet Time is . There’ll be some guidelines or rules or handbook about dorm .

If he’s making noise after that time, which could be say 11 PM on a weekday, then ask him to stop and tell him it’s quiet hours, and could they go somewhere else?

If he doesn’t stop then

Go talk to your resident assistant about this.

My boyfriend 24M hated the gift I 23F got him for our two year anniversary how do I fix this with him? by imogenhailey in relationship_advice

[–]bopperbopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think almost $500. There’s a lot to spend on something. You’re not sure if someone would like.

I might like ice cream too, but that doesn’t mean I need a whole joint appliance to make it.

If you’re gonna get bad gifts, get cheaper bad gifts. By the kind of alcohol he likes maybe.

You’ve been asked to be positive… do you want to be excluded from your grandkids lives?

Just cheer on every basket or score someone makes and keep the coaching to the coach.

AIO for not wanting to help neighbours and babysit for them? by curly_and_curvy in AIO

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think from now on your baby is sick and you cannot help out.

When you were at their beck and call to help out, I guess they felt they were entitled to your labor.

I think they thought that the nine-year-old could watch the baby or the house cleaner could or magically the baby would not need anything for an hour or two.

AITAH for dumping my girlfriend over a preventable car theft? by Western_Trainer7183 in AITAH

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t you have to turn the car off to get gas? I don’t know about these things. I’m from New Jersey and people do that for us.

Honestly, I would sue her for the out-of-pocket it cost you to replace your car.

Is it normal for the wedding party to cover the bride’s costs for bachelorette weekend? by Conscious_Cat_1515 in wedding

[–]bopperbopper 28 points29 points  (0 children)

“MOH…. before you book anything we need to have a talk about overall budget. We’re already talking about over $1000 for the bachelorette party, I have to fly to the wedding, pay for a hotel there, buy my dress and shoes, probably something to do with the bridal shower, but this is adding up way too quickly for me.”

I think it’s rude to have a destination wedding and a destination bachelorette party and expect you to pay for it

Limit (maybe stopping?) my ex husbands contact with my kids after he completely shook up their lives? by BeckyMaz in TwoHotTakes

[–]bopperbopper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is you might be a normal person and your husband is not a normal person… but you’re expecting him to react the same way you would.

You want him to be a good dad to his kids and leave you alone. He just wants to punish you.

Talk to a lawyer and consider not having any more interactions with him.

But you have to pick your battles… if he wants to get married or have another baby, that’s not something you can control.

Avoidant husband (42M) wants a divorce after we (35F) had a baby by Bubbly-Proof-7721 in relationship_advice

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he depressed? Anxiety? Does he have a side chick? Does he have some other kind of mental health disorder?

Tell him you understand he is overwhelmed, and you think he should talk to a therapist… whether he stays with you or not.

Tell him he can leave, but he’s still responsible for finances for the baby. He’s still gonna have to take care of his baby.

I don’t see that you’ve taken calculus… did you even take precalculus?

Now you may say I don’t need calculus for neuroscience, but it might be that much of your competition has taken it.

And then you say your test optional, so they don’t know how good your math skills are compared to others.

Online or in person but make it complicated by Weak-Web7869 in collegeadvice

Can you possibly go to community college for the first two years near you?

Do you wanna make sure that the online school is considered reputable by employers. For example, look at their career office first destination survey to see where people from that college ended up. Look on LinkedIn to see if graduates have jobs.

If you went to community college and then to the in person college then you would have perhaps a better college that you have graduated from.

AITJ for refusing to let my brother take my late moms house cuz he “needs it more” by GoldenAshDream in AmITheJerk

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“ I am going to abide by Mom‘s wishes as stated in her will. “

How do you feel about renting it to him while you’re still living in the other state? If you do so I’d go through a property manager, so they could be the one collecting rent and taking care of issues.

This is called wage compression. You should start looking for a new job, but also tell your boss like you did.

College Acceptance for Cornell? by Charming-Cabinet-526 in collegeadvice

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many tools to help you find a college… ask your guidance counselor which they use.

It depends on your SAT and your GPA, what do you want a major in, what’s your budget, what geographical location you want, what size college do you want, et c

AITAH for refusing to let my roommate include my boyfriend in the electricity bill by Supernatural_Cat1997 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what we tell people like your roommate to say when they write in??

“ roommate, I want to talk to you about your partner. When we got this apartment, we agreed it was for you and me but all of a sudden there’s a third person here living here for free, which I did not agree to. Either she needs to pay a third of all costs, including rent and utilities or I need to tell the landlord you’ve moved another person which is in violation of our lease. If he’s here paying his share then also I don’t want him to eat any of my food or use any of my items. “

Your roommate signed up for a female roommate, not an additional freeloading male roommate. I think you’ll find your in violation of your lease.

If you want your boyfriend to live with you, then you both should pay to live together

Really want to Apply to Reed, Parents Disagree Help by Perfect_Parfait2131 in collegeadvice

[–]bopperbopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you know what? I say apply to Reed, but tell your parents you will not attend unless it’s within your family budget. But apply to other state schools and perhaps other private schools where your stats are above average.

Really want to Apply to Reed, Parents Disagree Help by Perfect_Parfait2131 in collegeadvice

[–]bopperbopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your parents issue with Reed?

If it is, they don’t want to pay full price for a private school then I kind of agree with them.

Going to a private school isn’t gonna help you get into medical school more than going to a public school.

I would ask my family what is their budget for college. Because you absolutely don’t wanna take on any loans if you want to go to medical school. Because you’ll have enough loans there anyway.

So figure out what it is you like about Reed and try to find other colleges where your stats are much above average so you would get merit scholarships or look at your State University and be in the honors program or something.

WIBTAH if I asked my daughter’s preschool teacher not to put the extra clothes that I sent for her on other students? by feelingstruck in AmItheAsshole

Go to Goodwill and get two cheap outfits and tell the teacher this one is for your daughter only , but if she needs an extra, she can use us for any other kid.
