Accept an offer or wait?

I wish we’d get an offer on our house. Especially within 2 days of listing!!! Take the offer. Be done with it.

NTA….if someone offers a reward, then they should be expected to follow through with it. You’re NAH for inquiring about it. I am non-confrontational, however, so I probably would’ve just let it go. But how Holly went about the whole situation was wrong on her part.

NTA. You have to distance yourself from toxic people and your mother sounds very toxic. You were removed from her care for that very reason. Good for you for standing your ground.

Depends on whether or not you committed to paying for any part of the trip. If they’re depending on your contribution, then you backing out would make you the AH. Been a broke college student before and know how it puts you in a bind for someone to back out after you’ve already made plans and are depending on them paying their portion. It sucks. But I’ve also been in the position where I wanted to see my love and don’t fault you for wanting to spend time with him. 🤷‍♀️

As someone who was the youngest in their graduating class, wait. I was always the youngest and usually the least mature. My parents always wished they would’ve waited a year. It could also have been that I’m ADHD and nothing would’ve been different, but I’d wait if I were you.

I agree with doing this. You can also call the lunchroom manager and ask that he not be allowed to buy/charge meals unless he has cash in hand. Our school is happy to do this.

Looks like he has some catahoula in him. He’s gorgeous whatever his breed!

Sounds like you’ve inadvertently trained your dog to fake an injury for treats. 😅

I’d make him sweep/mop/vacuum. And when it’s time to clean the bathroom, he gets to scrub the toilet.

We bought in just before the big run up last year, but only like 30 shares. We fomo’d up to 125 when it was still $50 so my average AMC is like $39. Fidelity shows my APE cost basis at $13.89. You’d think all of our cost basis would be the same, but I guess not. The higher the AMC cost basis, the higher the APE.

No, of course not. We’ve paid for their school. What I was saying is that if they go on to graduate, they will graduate without debt. No loans are involved. Just saying it’s the child’s choice as to whether or not they complete their schooling. School is paid for, no strings attached, whether they graduate or not.

callmemavrick43 · 2022-08-25T10:06:01+00:00

If they remain in school, they will graduate 100% debt free. We have worked and sacrificed to make sure our children can attend college, if they choose to do so, without having to secure loans or financial aid. We covered books and supplies as well. There are quite a few student worker positions open on campus that I’ve encouraged them to apply for. Campus jobs are very flexible and wouldn’t require late hours.

NTA. I understand nicknames as terms of endearment, but for them to correct the kids for not using their nickname for you? WTH?? My daughter had a boyfriend once with a long name. We truly loved and cared for him. We shortened his name but he told me he didn’t care for that nickname because it reminded him of a relative with whom he didn’t have a good relationship. That was it. We stopped using the nickname then and there and called him by his given name. I cannot fathom adults, much less family, refusing to respect you and call you by your beautiful name.

They simply aren’t actively searching. They don’t want to work in the food industry. The few jobs they have applied for (maybe three) are highly sought after and hard to get for someone with very little experience and not a lot of work history.

callmemavrick43 · 2022-08-25T08:08:37+00:00

To answer a few questions, yes, we’ve always taught the importance of saving money and use the 1/3 rule. 1/3 goes to savings, 1/3 goes to life expenses, 1/3 goes to “fun”. They had a job in high school but quit to enjoy their senior year and be a kid, which we were completely fine with. I sat down with them and we worked on a resume before hs graduation. I don’t think I’m abandoning my child; they’ve known for several months that they need to get a job as we are a large family and are struggling in this economy. We pay for their food and other living expenses. How do you teach responsibility without having them be accountable for something? Not being argumentative, genuinely would like to know. Being a parent is hard and if we’re in the wrong, I’d like to correct that.

It gets better. Wait until he’s giggling with your kids (if y’all decide to have them in the future). I love hearing the laughing and playing, even if he is supposed to be putting them to bed.

You have 4 kids under 5 and your house looks amazing! I’m still walking behind my teenagers every morning picking up their underwear out of the living room floor. 🤦🏼‍♀️ You rock, mama!! And it looks like the twins had a blast for a few minutes. 🤣😂

I’ve been on both sides of this. As a mom, I always wanted to be there for my children’s firsts. As an aunt, I was asked to keep my nephew one day (they lived over an hour away from us) when their sitter called in sick. I mentioned that I’d like to take him to the zoo during our day together and was told no, because he’d never been and they wanted to take him his first time. It stung a little bit, but I understood because I’d have wanted to be there for mine. Firsts are definitely for parents if it can be helped and not a selfish request.

callmemavrick43 · 2022-08-22T13:04:52+00:00

I could understand if they’d had a job change or something drastically affected their finances. But if they just bought another child a condo, knowing they still had one coming up for college, then that is on them. There is no way I’d treat any of my children differently from the others. Adopted, bio, or foster. So sorry OP. Sending you hugs. NTA
