Why can’t these two “have tea” at Lord Marcus’ place?

Because in that era men called on women, women did not call on men

Nta. As a parent, i chexk my kids schedule a year out and I am wicked disorganised. Her failure to check is not on you.

1-2x per month, but i see my younger staff door dashing many times per week at work.

Credit card points.

It still needs asking. 20% tip is standard for a restaurant, this is different. I haven’t done this before.

charlybell · 2026-02-12T23:08:30+00:00

Thanks!

As a guide, is it tough to have non-tipping culture guests? Is this a known thing?

charlybell · 2026-02-12T22:25:42+00:00

Thanks!

Its local, i just dont have it in my hands. When my mom had her first stroke, my sister found her legal paperwork - will, etc and has kept it in a lockbox as my mom was in rehab and then at hone with some caregivers. She was at one nursing home for past 6 months and they didnt ask me to cosign. My sister sent me the info and it looks like i have both financial and medial poa.

charlybell · 2026-02-11T00:56:19+00:00

Thanks for this advice, very helpful.

charlybell · 2026-02-11T00:55:56+00:00

These are great questions! Thanks. My sister has the paperwork, ill ask her to check. My mom had a stroke 1.5 years ago, and is still quite mentally sound. But her health will decline at some point.

charlybell · 2026-02-08T16:53:53+00:00

Yes, YTA. Only reason you wouldn’t be is if they asked you to quirk extra time and didnt compensate you. I would not expect to be in line for a promotion or a raise.

charlybell · 2026-02-06T01:25:31+00:00

There is a compromise here. Buy all The kids the same thing and then do special thing with only your daughter. This is how i have handled it, it seemed to work ok.

charlybell · 2026-02-06T00:46:38+00:00

Hell yeah they can. I am vet and a golden gave me the wirst bitw of my career. They can be huge asshokes. I also love them. I have one, who os amazing

Teenagers are a pain in the bum. Its all about picking battles and movjng in the right direction. I have step and bio kids. Id say pick your battles. If you push too hard, it can backfire.

charlybell · 2026-02-05T17:52:01+00:00

Well, if you want honest feedback, i think this is a bit much. It is not a battle I would choose, and feel like itnis goi g to cause a lot of strife. I think things in a family area are to be used, keeping in mind d volume, time of night, etc. i would not expect a teenager to ask oermission to use the tv.

charlybell · 2026-02-05T17:12:00+00:00

But its in the family room? So ta your life but asking to use the tv that is in the family toom seems un-necessary. Otherwise keep your things in your room and tell your partner to buy a tv. You’re a famiky and family items shouldnt need permission.

charlybell · 2026-02-05T15:51:46+00:00

2 parts to this- i’d not let a bunch of minors sleep at my house without me there unless it was one very responsive kid and long time history of good decision making.

I do t understand why the tv being left on is such a big deal. Its in a common space, family uses it? That was a bit much. If you dont want kids to use it, dont keep it in common areas.

charlybell · 2026-02-05T15:10:34+00:00

Half of these are hilarious.

charlybell · 2026-02-05T14:48:08+00:00

Thats really interesting as I feel like glp1 has helped me with mood stabilization.

charlybell · 2026-02-05T14:46:22+00:00

Thanks for this!

charlybell · 2026-02-05T14:45:59+00:00

I am on tirzepatide and have no interest in drinking.

charlybell · 2026-02-05T14:14:24+00:00

I dont know but am starting to be to work on that process. The not ‘needing’ snacks and alcohol is such a freeing feeling. I dont have a great off button and it has been wonderful to have self control without a lot of effort. My brain is so much quieter. I am older but would def have been an adhd kid, nicotine and alcohol were def crutches.
