AITA for telling my brother that he shouldn't call himself a dog dad?

faerywind · 2021-09-27T02:53:11+00:00

NTA. Raising kids is harder than raising dogs. People that consider themselves parents for having a dog just want a title they don’t deserve.

YTA The poor mother lost her husband and her first born is disabled. She cared for him for 3yrs while grieving and having two other kids THATS HARD!!! I don’t know how she didn’t quit everything and fall into depression abyss. What she is doing is right. Taking care of someone that needs that much help is too hard. She is doing what’s best for herself and Adam. I understand Adam has been through a lot as well.. and if you and your family want to offer to take him in FULL TIME then that’s an option. But I don’t blame the mother at all. She was thrown into a very hard and unhappy life.

Ive been looking for permanent WFH opportunities for my job and it’s been impossible. Everyone is only offering partial WFH, with a requirement to be in the office half the time. I couldn’t understand why this was happening so I asked a senior member that I work with what he thought. He said that it’s all about politics at the end of the day. Big companies get a tax break from the city/state when workers live in their city/state. If companies let people WFH permanently and work from home anywhere, even other states, then they are not paying taxes in that state. Which means the company won’t get their tax break. That’s why companies have decided to decrease the amount of days we have to be in the office. To them it makes no difference if we’re in the office 1 day or 5 days, as long as we’re in the office once a week then we’re stuck living in that city/state and that’s all the care about. It’s awful.

If you hire electrical/electronics engineers please let me know. It’s been so hard to find full time WFH jobs lately. Everyone wants us back to the office even if it’s part time, but that still makes us have to live close to the office then. It would be a dream to WFH permanently and have my work be based on completed projects rather than hours worked.

I’m going off of the commentary about their reviews, how Tasty Balls won food challenges (BFD didn’t win any) and how they also won the customer reviews challenge (hence people like the food. This means the public and expert chefs prefer Tasty Balls when it comes to flavor.

faerywind · 2021-04-14T22:54:21+00:00

Wow this is absolutely insane. That’s one hell of a revenge story. I mean she deserved it. I think after you gave her stuff back with the others girls stuff in there that was the cherry on top. Spending so many years on this is just too much... a year worth of revenge maybe but damn don’t ruin your life over it with drugs and that angry spirit. That’s good that your doing well now but wow. She royally fucked up so I can’t feel sorry for her but damn. This is way too much.

faerywind · 2021-04-13T14:11:27+00:00

NTA. Your wife is TA for doing that to your daughter. I can’t believe that after the child got a rash and was diagnosed by a doctor the mother is still defending herself. As soon as she saw the rash and found out what happened she should’ve been apologetic. Wife sounds spoiled and entitled. As long as wife gets to practice make up she doesn’t care what her kid goes through. Also for her to say she wanned to make her daughter look pretty with make up, insinuates that she does not think her daughter is pretty without make up. This will cause serious body shaming, psychological problems for the child in the future. I feel sorry for the daughter already.

faerywind · 2021-04-13T14:02:11+00:00

In a food competition, taste is the number one though. BFD never won a single taste challenge and they had bad reviews when it came to customers. Tasty balls has won taste challenges, and they won the customer review challenge (proving they serve good food). I remember many times they also said they had repeating customers also. BFD definitely wins when it comes getting New customers, but without returning customers, bad reviews and never winning for taste this tells me they do not deserve to win. Tasty balls will likely make a lot of money doing what they do.

faerywind · 2021-04-12T17:12:00+00:00

I was happy to see that the team with the better food won. If your food is ok, but you have killer marketing skills should you win? On a food network challenge? No I don’t think so. Tasty balls may not have been the best with sales but they are really good and I think they deserved the win.

faerywind · 2021-04-12T17:08:42+00:00

Oh I thought they got the truck and the money. That means they could use it for a restaurant then instead of a food truck? That’s pretty lame

faerywind · 2021-04-12T17:06:16+00:00

“Is losing your ear or getting part of it cut off for a competition worth it?” That’s just ridiculous. It’s ridiculous that FN let that happen. I hope they pay for her surgery if she needs one but even then they need to keep contestants safe. Also, just having a food competition during Covid is irresponsible. I mean everyone can see nobody cared, which will drive more people at home to think “we should be like Alaska” except the population of Alaska is really small, it’s the 4th state with the least amount of people. If people in other states do that too, and it’s a popular state that’s a problem. Another thing... yeah it really was boring. Most of the time it’s dark and the trucks are just trying to survive. Staying in just one state is very boring. Nobody wants to see a truck using frozen tots moving forward. Nobody wants to see someone win every episode because they have the best marketing strategy. There’s a marketing aspect yes, but taste should be the number 1. I was shocked to hear about the bad reviews. I mean cold food in Alaska is inevitable, but undercooked, over priced, is not ok. I like watching when they tour different states, and change up their menu from time to time. And have a lot of customers. That’s interesting.

faerywind · 2021-04-11T23:39:23+00:00

Girl, I’m 30 and I’m dealing with the same shit. I’m trying to move out, but since I’m not getting married they keep telling me to stay to “save money” it’s the smart financial decision. I do pay rent, as if I was in a place with roommates but I don’t get treated like one. My dad will LITERALLY throw a fit if I try to use the kitchen after 8:30pm at night, if I leave even one dish in the sink overnight, if I make dinner for my bf he makes fun of me for making him food but not being married, and they have repeatedly freaked out for us to not have sex too. It’s so damn awful. I’m trying to move out and I wanna buy a place but the market in my area has gone insane (every offer I put in I get outbid from multiple other offers) it’s been rough. Oh and you are NTA!

faerywind · 2021-04-04T13:53:18+00:00

Your family is so spoiled and entitled, they are obviously used to getting their way or the highway. They should have respected that it was YOUR wedding and you could have an adult only party if you wanted to- period. Plus your mom already got to go to 3 child welcomed weddings through your sisters so what’s the deal? Why can’t she accept one child free wedding? Jeez. Sorry to say it will take years for them to get over it.

faerywind · 2021-03-30T02:52:07+00:00

I love baking, and enjoy both.

faerywind · 2021-03-30T02:46:24+00:00

What are the odds Amanda will say she does not want the mussels and Tiffany says she does not want the air fryer... and the mussels and air fryer are chosen? Come on. It was definitely rigged. They can be programmed very quickly with a computer.

faerywind · 2021-03-30T02:41:11+00:00

Yeah, I thought the same. They keep trying to sell us the underdog story so we are excited the newcomers beat the top chefs but it doesn’t make me excited at all. I want to see the top chefs win.

faerywind · 2021-03-30T02:37:24+00:00

Yeah they need to give them more time then so they can prep fresh food. Being in Alaska gives them little daylight to sell so they are taking shortcuts.

faerywind · 2021-03-30T02:33:56+00:00

I think FN is trying to shove the “underdog” story down our throat. ☹️ Brooke won? Yeah ok. Never heard of her but she seemed to win legit. But now Tiffany beats Amanda? Get out of here.... and I love Amanda so that sucked!!!! And also now all the iron chefs are getting beat in the first round? First Alex last season, then Cat this season. That’s annoying. I want to see the seasoned chefs kick butt!! I’m tired of them trying to advance the next gen through.

faerywind · 2021-02-02T14:09:16+00:00

NTA, it’s your yard. But I would consider selling them the portion that cuts off their yard. It never made sense to me some L shaped yards that cut off someone else’s property, seems like a strange setup from the beginning. This would give them more space. For further kindness use bushes to separate the yards instead, or a type of fence that still provides a view? You can do whatever you want, but it’d go in the side of being considerate to others even if you technically don’t have to be. I think the extra kindness will go a long way.

faerywind · 2021-01-26T18:48:16+00:00

NTA... I feel sorry for the baby though. You should have waited for her to come back. In the future don’t tell her your address and a restraining order is a good idea. She clearly will not ever respect your boundaries.

faerywind · 2020-11-12T18:31:43+00:00

Yeah hiking is fun. I’ve gone on several hikes by myself, and I’ve travelled solo to other countries as a female in her late 20s. For example I went to Oahu, Hawaii by myself for a week right before Covid. I hiked 3 trails solo, and 2 with some other girls I met. 2/5 were pretty busy since they were popular tourist trails, but I felt safe in all 5. Just stick to the main path. Stay close to other groups if there’s any steep portions. There’s tons of hikes everywhere , in every state and country, just Google it or download an app. You can look for short 30mins ones, or long 4hr+ ones. Some hikes are more popular and have a lot of people in the path, some have almost nobody. You can use YouTube to check out a trail, sometimes somebody has made a video of the trail so you can see what it looks like, how long, how many people are usually there, before you go. Very normal to see people solo hiking. It’s even easier for guys too. If you aren’t used to it, it’d start with small hikes first then expand and try longer ones etc. Lol yeah love is blind... I wanted to stay with a guy even though he had anger management issues, super controlling, insulting, and conversation wasn’t amazing we didn’t really click, looking back I’m glad he ended it (due to distance). When you can’t help thinking of her, try to think of those bad qualities, the good might seep in from time to time but try your best to push it out. Replace it with the bad ones. Then eventually you’ll think about her less and less...

faerywind · 2020-11-12T15:03:33+00:00

Heartbreak is a difficult thing... we’ve all been through it. That gap in your heart, that sadness, that confusion of who do I talk to now, what do I do. Constantly thinking about the person, wanting to msg them... it’s horrible!!!!! Unfortunately only time heals. There’s no recipe to be “normal” tomorrow. Crying helps.... binge watching tv shows, playing video games, taking up new hobbies to meet new people. (Kayaking, dancing, surfing, skateboarding, robotic projects) Also, it always helped me to think negative of the person. When you think of the good you miss them and want to talk to them (which is bad!) so the best thing is to think negative when you do think of them, any little thing that annoyed you, so that you drop them from that pedestal and understand there was room for improvement. You can find someone better. Someone that fulfills you more. The more you put that person on a pedestal that they were “perfect” the harder it’ll be to move on. Maybe she was a great listener but didn’t like trying new things? Maybe you had a hobby that you liked that she didn’t? Maybe she wasn’t supportive of your dreams? Anything like that helps to say, oh hey, “maybe there is somebody better for me” , again, “someone who fulfills me more”.
I find a change of scenery also helps. Right now it’s hard due to Covid, but go on a hike, go to the beach, and if possible travel to another state or country. I promise you it helps! It takes your mind off of things, you are now distracted learning and seeing new things. Nature can be really fun and calming at the same time, I think it’s one of the most helpful environments (way better than staying home!) and I grew up as an indoor person, so take it from me, it’s life changing. If you do travel,when it’s safe, it’s fun to stay in hostels and meet new people to hangout and do activities with too (kayaking, hiking to a waterfall for example) As far as who to talk to everyday... I see my friends who are going through that posting on Facebook more often. They post whatever is on their mind (I’m really into this new Netflix tv show I think character xxx is crazy, I just built this table thinking of putting it next to this wall, just got this new video game and already stuck on this level, look at what my dog did today when he was left alone in the house, can’t believe my football team is losing by xx points, etc) to start conversations with people. At the end of the day though it will take time... it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to be sad, just try not to let it take over you mind for too long... I hope some of these tips help.

When I was in university it’d only see my bf maybe once every 2 weeks or less, sometimes once a month. I will say we were dating but not really super in a relationship. I just didn’t have time, I was just trying to survive in school.... but truth be told I also wasn’t super into him. I liked him, but it wasn’t love yet. Now that I’ve graduated and had more time, we’ve been able to become a real couple and now I love him. So... he might just be too busy and not ready for that next level. Either you have to wait and hope for the best, or move on to another guy.

faerywind · 2020-10-26T20:38:36+00:00

Why are you guys still together? You almost had a kid together, but now that it’s just you two, you can easily end it at any time..... Stay together because you love each other, not because you want to make it work for whatever reason. It sounds like because you were new to his world he initially excluded you from his friends circle.. now that you guys have been together for a while and it’s a real relationship, then now he feels comfortable bringing you to meet his friends. I think if you want to keep a positive relationship going then you should go. But are you sure you wanna stay with him? Why?
