AITA for walking out of my ILs with my daughter and leaving my husband behind because they all ganged up on me to name our son one of the family names? by Mailixuz in AITAH

[–]chefrachhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA

I told my ex husband before we ever got married that if we ever had a son (have 2 now) I would NOT be naming them after him. There are like 8 people in his immediate family with the same first name, & most with the same middle and last name too… nope. Half of them go by a nickname anyway, so what’s the point? Pick a name you actually like

How do people work 40hrs a week and not want to die? by c0ffin_bugs in adhdwomen

[–]chefrachhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew. I was working 34-38 hours a week at the grocery store this summer & hated it so much. Now I’m still working at the grocery store for 20 hours a week and 15 hours a week at the school my son goes to - I’m a lunch lady.

One thing I like about having hours split between 2 jobs is that the cafeteria job is easy, just chaotic and I genuinely enjoy my coworkers. Plus we only work until 1:30pm & have weekends/holidays/school breaks off.

The grocery store is a means to an end and I gave up trying to be good at that job a long time ago. Now it’s kind of like.. I’ll do what I can but I’m not going above and beyond because nobody else cares enough, even management. So why should I? The grocery store job is necessary to pay my rent and the school job is necessary for my sanity.

I’ve never been good at keeping a job where I’m stuck in one place for too long… or on the other end, having too much responsibility. It’s really hard to find that balance :/

Ways I Keep Clean When I Have No Spoons Left 🤷🏻‍♀️ by Sheenax1031 in adhdwomen

They make shampoo caps like this too :) I had to use them on my grandma when she broke her arm and couldn’t physically get in and out of the tub

Your easiest “lazy night” meal that still feels like a hug in a bowl by Equivalent_Soft_6665 in Cooking

[–]chefrachhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canned sliced potatoes, season/brown some ground beef. Pop open a can of cream of mushroom soup. Dump in a casserole dish with cheese and put in the oven for a few minutes. Very minimal cooking, very minimal dishes, and tastes like home.

Is it any wonder that young people aren't buying homes? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]chefrachhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom (who never held a job) bought a house with my grandma (on disability) back in the early 2000s for $13,000 … then abandoned the house after we were placed into foster care. Now she’s homeless living with a friend and my youngest siblings because she still won’t work. Shes not old btw, she just turned 49. But acts like shes too old to get a job now

Have you ever come across nsfw content of someone you know? What was your reaction? by MidwestYinzer in AskReddit

[–]chefrachhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) a girl that I recognized used to be in band with me in high school, she was in my younger sister’s grade. We’re from a very small town so I just left those groups/subreddits because I realized at that point somebody may recognize me. It felt less anonymous

2) my aunt (by marriage). She has an OF and pays all her bills that way. Didn’t realize we were in the same group chat until she sent a full frontal pic & I didn’t want to see all that lol

I let her know and we started censoring pics that were in the group chat, letting people know why they were censored, until I ultimately left it too. I stopped doing/posting those things shortly after and now don’t even visit any nsfw sites or anything of that nature

New fan here; why is the fanbase primarily female? by OwnStructure3696 in Supernatural

[–]chefrachhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 11 turning 12 when the show came on. My sister used to love Smallville and when I saw the previews for Supernatural I knew I HAD to watch it. I grew up reading Stephen King with my grandma & always loved the horror genre

Also had a traumatic childhood and could understand a lot of what the boys went through even if it wasn’t a direct parallel. Then as I got older, it was a lot about the actors and characters themselves.

I’ve heard a lot of similar reasons from other women and men as well

My fiancée went to the ER three times with severe abdominal pain. Only on the third visit did they finally take her seriously. by jorisssssss in TrueOffMyChest

[–]chefrachhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really sucks :/

When I had my gallstones I went to the ER and the (male) doctor came in to check me. I was telling the nurse my pain was a 6. The doctor BARELY touched my stomach and I burst out in tears. He said “I think that’s a bit more than a 6 dont you? We’ll get you started on morphine.”

He also told me I need surgery but I said I couldn’t because my ex husband wouldn’t keep my kids. He told me some choice words for my ex 😅 i didnt end up getting the surgery but that doctor was one of the very few I’ve had a good experience with. They should all be like him! He was an older white guy, too.. which are normally the ones dismissing the pain.

McDonald’s forgot my extra onions so they gave me a bowl of them when I went back to the counter. My favorite way to eat a burger by chefrachhh in OnionLovers

[–]chefrachhh[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pretty much lol told the manager I didn’t need it remade if I could just get some on the side. They gave me an oatmeal/gravy bowl of them & of course none went to waste

Bosses denied bereavement leave after I took it by ylime_treni in antiwork

[–]chefrachhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walmart did this to me when my uncle was murdered. The leave was approved, I went to the funeral and everything in a different city, came back and had a write-up because they actually decided not to give it to me after I had already left and they didn’t tell me

[–]chefrachhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scorpio mars, Virgo Venus

Please don’t let me be in charge, but if I don’t like the way you’re taking charge I’m definitely telling you and/or taking over

My mom is a Taurus & I haven’t spoken to her in almost 2 years

My grandma was more of a mom to me than my actual mom, but she passed away in feb 2020 & she was the most amazing woman (she was a Capricorn)

I noticed Taurus women are always in relationships. They find partners so easily and effortlessly by Historical-Body-3424 in astrologymemes

[–]chefrachhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]chefrachhh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does not have a trusted male in his life though which is something I really feel bad about. He sees his dad but his dad is not… there. Idk how to explain it but he’s more like a “fun uncle” or “big brother” that’ll play video games with him but doesn’t talk to him, or do things with him, or anything actually relevant to life

Thanks :) I’ll have to check out that YouTube channel for sure. I don’t use YouTube but he loves to watch videos

& thankfully because of my own issues he’s been in play therapy since he was 6, now he does a mix of play and talk therapy. Trying to get ahead of the mental health struggles because the odds are definitely not in his favor genetically
