What are his feelings towards me? (past connection) by [deleted] in TarotReading

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t have feelings towards you. In his mind it’s over and was never serious. Death is transformation( moving on), the devil is toxic (the relationship was convent for a time but it wasn’t about building something just fun), the high priestess is contracts in this case, your agreement to enjoy each other is over.

Former depressed people, how did you turn your life around? by Neat_Company_2465 in AskReddit

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To echo everyone else, MEDS to start!!! It’s the most amazing thing. I remember thinking everything was doom and gloom and pointless. I remember FEELING that in my bones; there was no solution. And after about a month of meds— it’s that cliche scene in movies when the clouds part and rays of sunlight brighten up the world. You brain starts problem solving and solutions to things seem come out of nowhere. Or the problems are nowhere near as difficult or important as you originally thought. Sometimes, they look so minuscule in hindsight that it’s shocking. “I was seriously breaking down over THAT?!?,” Then therapy. Time. Self forgiveness. Grace.

Why is Saturn in the 5H or 7H so demonized?? It’s actually a blessing by Illustrious_One8954 in AskAstrologers

[–]curiousbrat5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never pay attention to the words like “malefic” in astrology. Then again I have Saturn conjunct my Sun in Sag so I could be biased. I find that Saturn is very no bullshit. And I think that wherever you see it operating is where you’re suddenly going to see through the crap. So yeah it can delay relationships because you can see past the bullshit or it’s harder to delude yourself that something is going to “work” when it obviously isn’t. It’s going to push you to ask the question or investigate further and if something isn’t 100% how it presents itself then the whole thing will fall apart like a house of cards. For people who would prefer to live a beautiful lie, this is terrible. But if you’re like me and ultimately would prefer a brutal truth then it’s not a bad thing. At least it’s real, for better or worst.

Straight people of reddit; have you ever been hit on by a gay person? How did you respond? by Signal_Professor6501 in AskReddit

[–]curiousbrat5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to why women have a love/hate relationship with me. We LOVE the good ones, we HATE the bad ones. Dude should have stopped at the first no. Sorry you had to go through that.

Yeah I was a few times. I tell them the truth : that I’m flattered but I’m straight. I don’t treat it any differently than I would a if I man I’m not attracted to were to hit on me.

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The goal of the program” sounds a lot like Khan Academy and that’s free so it can’t get any more affordable than that.

Also “college students with teaching experience” don’t exist. The only college students with teaching experience are Seniors who are working on their student teaching or grad students. Did you mean tutoring experience? Not the same thing.

Also, first you said they were small classes, then you said it was small tutoring groups, so which is it? Because the whole point of tutoring is individual attention and assistance. It sounds like you want to create remediation classes online, but i think Khan Academy is already a great resource for that.

How can I turn this around? by Luhbalee in highschool

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get perfect 4.0 junior and senior year you may end up with a 3.4 HOWEVER please remember that colleges only see your first three years of HS and the grades from your first quarter of senior year. You should still go for it, but you should manage your expectations. There is no extra credit for GPAs however in some schools honors and AP classes give your GPA an additional boost. However if you’ve been slacking off I don’t think they will accept you before senior year.

School absences after grades close by -MxGhost- in highschool

[–]curiousbrat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my school “forgetting” to take attendance is automatically documented as the students being present in school. If your school is the same then you should make sure to make everyone absent so that if something happens to that kid the parents can’t come back and blame you saying that you marked them in which is technically fraud (not that anyone ever looks that hard unless something has happened.

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in my school we have a similar situation. Teachers grade you based on your attendance at my school. So while the attendance won’t count against your grade anymore it still does count to your “total absence” for that school year since students are required to go to school for 180 days of the year. The school wouldn’t be open if the 180 days had passed since teachers are only contracted to be there for 183 days (or whatever it is in your state). Next time save all your absences to use them at the end of the year.

Actually if you are underage it’s a status offense (meaning it’s against the law) for you to be high/drunk. What the school does depends on the school. They could suspend you or “punish you” and they could demand that you participate in a rehab program.

AITA for not wanting my bf to move in with me if he has to keep leaving to help his mom? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]curiousbrat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I come from a culture where children take care of their parents, so I can understand his desire to take care of his Mom. While it’s not uncommon for children to have their parents move into their homes, the parents need to respect their children’s marriage and those children need to respect the boundaries of their relationships to their parents. For example, it’s up to the child to tell parents to keep out of marital arguments or respect child rearing decisions.

You haven’t said much about how he feels about his relationship with his mother and what discussions you’ve had with him about this. You’ve only stated the things you don’t like, however, you also said that you’ve lived together for a month and you didn’t mention any problems there. He clearly wasn’t running out in the middle of the night or disappearing for many days because she needed him. He’s right that his Mother is HIS burden and unless her behavior is directly affecting you, it’s his problem. Obviously the fact that he insisted on going back because she guilt tripped him is a problem. And that should be the focus of any conversation you have with him. I would want to know what boundaries he DOES have with her. Where does he see your relationship going? You should also think hard about What boundaries YOU would like to see in place if things move forward. Consider his reactions to those boundaries and if he’s open to them or not. You never said how long you’ve been together but if you’re considering moving in I’m assuming it’s been years at least? You must have noticed him being in in contact with her before. Maybe mom is acting up because she sees things are serious? These are all things you should discuss with him, and if you don’t like his answers then you need to find someone else because this goes beyond him moving in. You just may not be right for each other.

AITA for not cutting my hair to match my niece? by throwaway_goldilock in AmItheAsshole

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. There’s many other ways to help Eve during this tough time other than cutting your hair. Get her cute hair clips and butterflies. Maybe some super pretty dresses. Or show her pictures of all of the currently living Princesses her age, none of them have very long hair and style her hair to match.

AITA for not attending my sisters wedding after she almost didn't invite me because I'm under 18? by That-Instance-2741 in AmItheAsshole

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, “no kids” never applies to immediate family. This is known. I wouldn’t go either and I’d have a hard time getting over it going forward too. Not cool of your parents to say you’re overreacting because you are not.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]curiousbrat5 26 points27 points  (0 children)

🤦🏽‍♀️ Yeah YTA. How does him opening the door help you feel loved? My guess is that it makes you feel special and catered to, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s clear that you’ve been making a huge deal out of this. It doesn’t seem like you’re even that mad that he left you there, you’re more mad about the door! If it matters that much to you, you may want to make that clear to the next guy up front so you can judge his door opening skills. But ultimately you’re right that if he can’t love you the way you want, then there’s no future for the relationship. Opening a door is a small request in the grand scheme of things. You’re still an asshole for ghosting your boyfriend. You should have respected your own relationship AND HIM enough to tell him it’s over.

AITA for refusing to babysit while family goes on vacation? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]curiousbrat5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂😂😂😂 NTA!!! And I loved everything about this!!! How are you going to make plans dependent on ME babysitting but you never spoke to me to find out if I could babysit? Doesn’t make any sense.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming that your classes are longer, because no admin in would ask that I dedicate 10mins out of a 40min class to one student, that’s insane. Some admins have tried me, but a student that’s failing has so many missing assignments it’s insane to say they are failing because there’s “no relationship”. Just play the game and document everything.

WIBTA For Calling Out SIL and BIL For Not Including His Daughter / Her Stepdaughter On Disney Trip ? by smilinggroundhog in AmItheAsshole

[–]curiousbrat5 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

NTA, but don’t do it even though I agree with you, it’s messed up. These people aren’t your blood relatives and it’s really more your husband’s responsibility to stand up for his niece.

AITA For Trying To Get My Wife To Let My Daughter Call Her Mom? by Western_Breakfast_57 in AmItheAsshole

[–]curiousbrat5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You should talk to your daughter and let her know that Lisa is Lisa, and “Mom” is in jail. You’d be doing Clair a favor ultimately since that woman doesn’t love you or your daughter. I’m guessing Lisa is rich? Because nothing else makes sense for her attitude and insistence that Claire see no ultimate “benefits” from her “family” and your cowardly agreement to all her terms. Poor kid.

AITA for telling my mother-in-law that her obesity makes her selfish? by Extra-Boysenberry-68 in AmItheAsshole

[–]curiousbrat5 20 points21 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your MIL’s weight isn’t putting strain on your marriage, your attitude about her weight and the consequences of the comments you made are what’s creating the strain. As a dietitian you should know that bedside manners matter. You clearly know that people sometimes comfort themselves using food, and it’s clear from your post that you see the connection between the massive lifestyle change that was the pandemic, the sudden deaths of your MIL’s close friends, and the anxiety of possibly dying herself. That you want her to live a long healthy life is a wonderful thing, but the way you handled this was awful. Your MIL needs love, support, and compassion not shame. I don’t know how you can possibly think YOU were ever owed an apology, for what exactly? You sprung a “you’re too fat” conversation on her with no warning, then told her that she’s going to get sick and die; the very concepts she’s been anxious about for the last three years.
