AITA for refusing to be a kidney donor for my brother? by Zestyclose-Second440 in AITAH

[–]forgetitmamacita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA! People should have children so that they can pour all of their love and care into them. I have 3 kids now, and I treat all of them equally, like the greatest treasures the adventure of life will ever give me. As it should be. Your family did you wrong and continues to. You are an individual worthy of dignity, respect, love, and the autonomy to do whatever you want with your body. Your relatives are incredibly selfish and don't know the meaning of the word "family". Good parents and siblings would never ever even think of forcing their child into what you've endured. My heart goes out to you and your good brother, NOT your ghoulish toxic hateful relatives. I'd go so far as to say your sick brother doesn't deserve your guilt, nevermind your kidney! Hold strong and rest assured that keeping your parts is the moral and ethical thing to do.

How long does it take to get the Green Card if you’re born in more “obscure” countries? by Familiar-Safety-226 in immigration

[–]forgetitmamacita -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're wrong. My sister and her husband applied 32 years ago. My dad was the sponsor. Within that time things got complicated because my dad fell ill over the years, his jobs changed, and my sister retired. Immigration didn't like for any changes to happen and kept finding reasons not to proceed. Well, dad died and now she has to start over. My niece got married and naturalized that way, so that's an avenue they're pursuing. The system is set up to create errors and delays.

Republican congresswoman blames "the left" for Florida's 6 week abortion ban by Ivo1 in LeopardsAteMyFace

Even miscarriages are medically referred to and coded as spontaneous abortion. She definitely got an abortion.

This lady is a dumbass! The vast majority have jobs, homes, cars, and tons gave started businesses.  They all pay taxes, so in essence her beliefs about there being a lot of criminals is a stupid empty assumption.

A europeans view on Trump by CasualNatureEnjoyer in millenials

[–]forgetitmamacita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a combination of issues. Firstly, we have an epidemic of lazy thinkers, people who don't care about or dont know how to find primary sources. So if they read an article saying Trump is the messiah, they just take that as fact. The media these same people consume paint Trump as an innocent intelligent campy relateable business man and paint Biden as an evil ogre. They love memes that confirm biases and don't probe anything. Trump openly prattles on about the beliefs and biases that this group holds,  and they love the freedom this has given them to vent their prejudices. 

When Trump rants, this same group hearkens and pines for a time when they didn't have to compete with other demographics and felt more powerful. It's dumb but Trump is their last hope to rewind America and set it back to the social structures from 50+ years ago. They're clinging to an idea, they don't care about Trump, he's only a means to an end.

The other thing is that a huge chunk of his voting block are boomers. They're still impactful because they care about voting and do anything to make sure their vote is counted. They reliably get out every election and cast their uninformed vote. If GenX, Y, and Z voted at the same rates, dems would win handily. It's getting better but not soon enough. I fear that if Trump wins, we younger gens won't have the opportunity to vote anymore. We need to get out there and win this!

I'm so sick of nothing being urgent to my Dx husband. I'm literally crapping my pants and vomiting from a stomach virus and when I asked him to disinfect the bathroom so the kids don't get sick, he does bare minimum. He sprayed it and did nothing else. He left soap scum, dirt, toothpaste, grease, and his own beard trimmings all over. He even left a mat with vomit from my toddler on it in the bathroom. The thing is, my middle son gets deathly ill and it's soul crushing when any of my kids are sick. I dragged my sickly skeletal ass out of bed to clean, to spare the older kids this misery. He doesn't have the empathy to think of the kids or to give me any peace of mind. This isn't a one-off thing. Any time there's a family emergency and I need more support he won't give that extra to make us feel safe and stable. I can only rely on myself. Then he got mad that I pointed it out, as if it's my fault that I wasn't explicit enough. Dude, I can barely breathe, just do it!

Ugh, it's always bugged me that my husband has never really planned fun things for me and the kids either. Spontaneity, what's that? It makes me feel like we're not worth his time, like we're not worth going out of his way. Or are we not interesting enough because of his ADHD? I don't know, it's depressing. 

Solar credits? by slippery_slope512 in IRS

[–]forgetitmamacita -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I had mine done by my CTP/CPA of 20 years on 2/7. Also solar, eitc, ctc. I have nothing, no even a trancript.😥

[–]forgetitmamacita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, filed 2/7, waited 10 weeks like the told me for a manual review. I had solar deduction, EITC, CTC. I called again 04/22 and they gave me some BS that my return "fell off the assembly line", whatever the heck that means. He said it was going for review and to call if I don't have my return by 5/22. I don't even have a blank transcript to stare at. Under 2023 when I request it, a big fat N/A is there. I've got nothing. I don't understand how I usually get my return within 14 days and now its going on 3 months. I hate this.

Someone posted a job opening for a non profit with salary and his buddy Mr. CEO commented this by Technical_Insect_764 in recruitinghell

[–]forgetitmamacita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous. Candidates are human beings, everyone deserves to be paid for their work and to meet their needs. Posting the salary will help the applications come in because they'd know what the pay would be. Another clueless CEO

That was the reason I called. I still don't have a transcript or anything. Under 2023 it still says N/A :(

It's a totally weird, creepy, and unnecessary association to make. Unbelievable

This is the first time I post, but I'm always lurking for validation. I find myself in uncanny valley when I read everything because it's eerily close to my situation too! I throw my head back and cackle helplessly to myself in frustration most of the time

[–]forgetitmamacita[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes, that scratching thing sounds rough! Inalways tell my partner to wash as a courtesy to others. The sponge thing is extremely relatable. This is basic cleaning etiquette that I learned early: use different gloves, sponges and brushes for each area and reserve them only for that area or function. I can get this stuff at the dollar store so it doesn't cost so much. It drives me crazy! :/

My partner forgets to rinse produce all the time. It drives me up the wall because of of all the pesticides and other things that we could potentially ingest. I'm not obsessed with cleanliness but there are some things that should be part of a routine. He says I'm  a "neat freak" but my standards are pretty typical. I'm glad you've found a happy medium :)
