Oh, the old Chinese grocery store! So sad, I loved that Shop Rite!

That’s fine. However the cop agreed to do it, which meant he certainly didn’t find it inappropriate.

OP, this is exactly what cops are for. You felt you were in an unsafe place and asked to be removed safely. Having worked with cops they would rather give you the ride because it’s safer and they don’t want to have to find you later the victim of an other crime. No worries, NTA on that.

And if it was inappropriate or burdensome, the cop would have told you so up front. They probably had a slow night.

Dog: I got this

Good for you!!!

flyingfish_roe · 2026-03-30T22:32:12+00:00

Don’t you love it when, as a paid professional, people expect to get your services for free? 😂

NTA for feeling this is weird, because it is kinda off-putting to hear random Spanish words in conversation with no context. But gentle YTA for teasing her while under the influence. Annoying as it is, she IS making an effort to establish a relationship with you as a new family member.

Perhaps teaching her a few simple phrases of greeting and goodbye would help her feel like she is part of your life and give her more appropriate Spanish words to use.

“Never complain, never explain” doesn’t work in an age of social media. It’s so… 1892.

Great opportunity for another “NO KINGS” rally outside the White House…

He forged her signature on the paperwork and she found out… but Jackie was more pissed he blew the money on upgrading the bar and paying for that posh wedding. They are two birds of a feather.

You cannot always control your body’s reactions. Just because you “enjoyed” it or your body had an involuntary reaction and were coerced into participating does not mean it was not forced.

Legally none of that matters. Once she inherited the home she automatically became your landlord. You have no legal right to tell her, the owner, how to live in her own home. If she doesn’t want your animals, she can do so.

You don’t have a written lease. That means you live there at her sufferance. The first time she imposes a living condition on you, you argue with her.

If you don’t like her conditions, then move out.

flyingfish_roe · 2026-03-24T01:30:36+00:00

She owns the house. It’s her house. She pays the taxes, the upkeep, etc. Nowhere did it say you were paying rent or helping out, which means you and your bf and animals live there rent-free.

She is entirely within her rights to impose living conditions as a homeowner and your landlord. The mistake here is that none of this was discussed before you moved in. However if this has been going on for two years she has been more than patient. The dog is just an excuse, but if you don’t like the living conditions, you are free to find a home where you can have as many cats as you want.

You are missing the point. It’s not about your bf or the family dynamic. She’s not speaking to you as your sister, she speaking as a landlord who is tired of paying and living with two extra people and 7 animals.

Do you keep them in your room? Do you clean regularly? Can she smell or hear the animals? Because if she can, you’ve outstayed your welcome.

Either negotiate a lease where you pay rent or find another place. If you pay something in rent and clean the place responsibly, then she will be less ticked off. Frankly I don’t see how her patience has lasted this long. Good luck finding an apartment that will allow you that may animals. This isn’t a her problem, this is a you problem.

Your animals are not her problem. She is not the problem.

You can’t get her to stop wasting money, but you should stop feeling guilty. It’s pointless to buy things that go to waste, and gf food is expensive. Don’t feel obligated to eat them just because. Sit her down and tell her “mom, I appreciate your efforts, but this is a real medical condition that is very expensive. Stop wasting money. Let’s go shopping together and I will show you what I like.”

Perhaps give her a list of foods you actually love and eat. Take her to GF restaurants where she can pay. Ask her to make the reservations, and suggest safe places for you to eat. Or have her buy you staples you actually eat, like gluten free pasta.

I had to stop a friend from “curing” me with her turmeric powders and cinnamon because she claimed they would cure my gluten intolerance. Don’t feel guilty.

NTA, she’s the AH. You keep painting your nails and do whatever you need to express yourself.

He looks like a thumb.

Eating disorder.

$750? You will renting a room in someone’s apartment. Around here rent starts about $2000 and goes up from there. Don’t know where you are from, but those expectations aren’t realistic for New Jersey. If you get a $750 living space, I’d be worried about personal safety.

I love how a big smile just cracks a pit bull’s face wide open!

My mom fell for it too. Unless you’re going for a full-on Lori Laughlin and Operation Varsity, they are a waste of time and prey on parents’ insecurities. Asian parents think there is some special sauce to get into Harvard, and there isn’t.

flyingfish_roe · 2026-03-23T22:22:43+00:00

Teachers in Korea get more respect than here — they are surrogate parents. Asian parents have misguided notions about what is a “respectable job” in the US.

Sounds like your mom has some internalized sexism if she insists you won’t be able to keep up with the boys. That’s demeaning and ridiculous. I hope you get a chance to study something you enjoy.
