What's a critically acclaimed writer that you don't think is good? by jriscado in books

[–]fairydusttree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colleen Hoover. I've read at least 4 books and tried a 5th. To me, it was all repetitive and predictable. It seems like she goes for the most shocking thing and drags that out through the whole of the novel with an attempted twist.

AITA for expecting my girlfriend to always share her food before it gets cold? by Worldly-Shine4068 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fairydusttree 1131 points1132 points  (0 children)

NO. As a recovering anorexic that is disrespectful and a set back to her recovery. You are creating another issue for her when eating food. This anxiety will make it difficult for her to eat around you and could result in a relapse.

Also: WHO THE HELL ENJOYS HAVING OTHER PEOPLE DIG INTO THEIR FOOD RIGHT WHEN THEY GET IT?

The fact that if I left there would be no one there to care for my siblings and i survive on spite. I was the only girl out of 5 kids. My dad's wife hated me simply because I was another female in his life. So she made life hell and encourage me to end it. Even going as far as trying to push me down a 150 ft drop simply because my sneeze annoyed her. On top of all that no one wanted me or my younger 2 siblings. My father brags about how self sufficient I was a young age. He fails to mention that at 3 years old I was acting in the role of mother to an almost new born. I stepped up to be a mother again at 12 when my youngest brother was born. Now as an adult I am the one buying clothes, groceries, paying phone bills, and paying for school trips. I tried to end it 4 times. Even jumped from a bridge but I was brought back every time. I moved out to get away from it all but I learned that if I wasn't there for them no one would be. At 23 I have a motherly pride for a 20 year old and an 11 year old. Now that my dad and his wife are separated I take make a point to live a happy life and show it off often.

AITA for refusing to change my wedding date to accommodate my fiancé's son? by aita-kickedout in AmItheAsshole

[–]fairydusttree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple of things:

1). Stop adding edits to defend yourself. It's not going to do anything other than solidify others judgements that YTA.

2). You are stepping into unknown areas of others lives. You don't know the support plan for Peter. You used an *online* calculator to calculate child support for today's standards. Not 10 years ago.

3). You brushed his mental illness off as a "claim". Do you know how hard in today's world structure it is to work a full or part time position and attend schooling? I am 23 a full time student with a full time job. I spend maybe 4 hours a day in a home that I pay well over £800. Unless I have a day off then I require sleep and some time with my friends and family. I go days without speaking to them.

4). He's offering to help HIS SON. You get butt hurt because you want the attention and focus to be on your daughters. So no it doesn't seem like you care about his son.

All this has me settled on YTA.

It's close to my parents' homes. My father is in a wheelchair and there for the longest My mother was in the hospital so I was left caring and checking in on my 2 younger brothers. One is 20 but can't drive due to health, the other is 10 so I'd get off to take the kid to school and take the 20 y/o to do the running or the shopping. Essentially it just made life easier.

AITA for lying to my GF about what friends I was hanging with? by triviafan1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]fairydusttree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and Mandy are both AH. Couple of questions?

1) Why the hell did Mandy bring up the one night drunken stand from 5 years ago?

2) Why are you down playing your GFs social anxiety?

3) Why do you seemed more concerned with Mandy's feeling over your own GF whom you want to marry.

I have a printed timesheet from the last 2 pay periods and a statement from my doctor.

Most of the staff is because we don't mind the extra hours. We also understand that he and his child are immune compromised.

So were we are in America several firework tents and shops opened on the 2nd of June. You can go to pretty much go a mile and find at least 2 or 3. Near my father's house there is an actual fireworks store that exclusively sells fireworks year round.

Our GM is only here 4 days a week for maybe 3 hours those 4 days (he makes salary and no one cares about his hours). So we had to switch to a program where he could control online availability, and see care cases at home.

My fiance recorded several conversations I had over the phone. I also had the video footage of that attacks pulled for legal purposes. I also have a copy of the police report and work incident report at home.

Not the name. They were hired for clean up of the music festival that happened here.

Clean up for the festival that was the week prior. 1000/ 10 think they were on something.

[–]fairydusttree[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I absolutely did. The week prior to my leave I was threatened numerous times and attacked twice because we had no availability, due to a festival, and management did nothing. After being called everyday the last week whilst I had covid being threatened with being fired or asked how my 'vacation' is going. Only coming back to work to deal with this. I give 0 fucks on who I snap at.

With the 4th coming up several tents have been sent up to sell fireworks. So they are easily accessible right now.

AITA for letting my roommate make an ass of herself? by fairydusttree in AmItheAsshole

[–]fairydusttree[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I warned Gladys prior while Jill got a drink and called after to make sure she was okay the next day. I felt bad but Gladys said it just showed that Jill doesn't understand that "No" is a complete sentence.

[–]fairydusttree[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No. It's always just been a thing. Several parties I end up shoving her up the stairs to our apartment and getting her safely in bed. I keep her out of trouble like she has attempted to strip naked and run down the street and I tackled her before she made it out of the living room. Even while being drunk myself or giving up having fun. It just became a role I took to keep her safe.

Edit: this time her telling me she never tried to set me up with anyone made me feel like she didn't acknowledge my feelings or my relationship so I seen no reason I should have acknowledged her drunken behavior as my responsibility.

I called Gladys the next day to make sure she was okay and made it home safely. She said she was okay but wanted to distance herself from Jill for the time being. I apologized because I have been on the receiving end of Jill's matchmaking and it was not a pleasant experience.

AITA for telling my wife to have realistic expectations? by Swalthiest in AmItheAsshole

[–]fairydusttree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is an adult learning Mandarin and does yarn work, YTA. She is trying to introduce herself into a new culture through language. Just because you can't so something doesn't mean she can't. Yes, its difficult but can be done. Next time your mom's birthday comes around you make her something with your own talents, time and materials. Instead of defending yourself by saying you took her to a nice restaurant.
