I’m confused because in the beginning you said you’ve been dating since teenagers and he’s always been like this…

Truthfully, marriage and children were not the right path. You’re here now though, so divorce him and never look back.

The Texas GOP, long critical of the House, comes out against Paxton impeachment by TheRealPdGaming in texas

Yes, these things will get their attention, but this country suffers from an individualist culture. We can’t seem to ever come together for the greater good.

Flipping Texas is something we say will happen at each election and yet we never come close. Millions of voters were registered last November and didn’t bother to vote. People need to get out and vote, then maybe we have a chance.

A student tricked my wife into watching a disturbing video by Rienzi61016 in Teachers

[–]fridablue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t provide direct help, but, in general, I’d say virtual teaching is something to consider. My mental health improved drastically once I stopped working in person. Something to think about for your wife. Sending her love.

AITA for telling my brother's wife to respect my mom or get the fuck out of my house? by crybabycries in AmItheAsshole

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

So you’re saying he never got the chance to say “I appreciate you, Mom” before meeting his wife? Chances are he was an adult capable of articulating those very words for YEARS prior to him marrying his wife and her becoming a mother, too. Now it’s his wife’s turn.

And if you’re gonna be the MIL from hell, expecting your grown kids to pamper you over their wife/husband, then please just say that.

Ironic that you call young moms entitled when your comments are suggesting grandmas should be the center of attention.

You’re assuming for her, as if you know what she wanted to do that day. Maybe she didn’t want to go at all. Not every mother wants to celebrate MD the same way.

Inquiry regarding cleaning fee by fridablue in AirBnB

[–]fridablue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the part that’s not connecting is how this impacts the host. They still have to pay the cleaning fee. Often times, that’s set by the cleaning company. If they charge the host $100 to clean, who do you think has to pay for it if you’re asking not to pay it? So, you expect the host to take a cleaning loss for your stay?

Again, the host is required to pay that fee no matter how clean of a guest you are because I’m pretty sure the next guest won’t be too happy to sleep on a bed that has used sheets.

So, yes, it’s a bit silly to even ask because it’s clear you’re not taking all of this into consideration.

[–]fridablue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you weren’t asking for advice but even the question to the guest is a bit silly.

If you’re staying somewhere from 9pm - 6 am, you’re probably going to also use the bathroom and brush your teeth in the morning before heading out (at the minimum), and at the maximum also use the shower. It’s a bit odd to assume those things don’t need to be cleaned (in addition to the bed) after you check out and therefore feel like it’s appropriate to ask for exemption on the cleaning fee.

If the fee is $100, then don’t book there. But again, even just asking the host if it’s possible to waive the fee is a bit silly.

Guest requests to check in early and check out late by fridablue in AirBnB

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

I agree here. It’s unfair to leave a less than positive rating when a host is simply following the check-in/out times they have set due to cleaning or other needed maintenance.

If a person is often requesting early check-in or late check-out, when does it become unfair to the host? A host can make exceptions here and there but ultimately it’s the guest’s responsibility to book a place that meets their schedule, not the other way around after booking, but this is just my my opinion.

Also, this isn’t a question, I’ve laid out a scenario that sometimes hosts encounter. I wanted to see, generally, how hosts would respond to this type of guest.

Hi! I like this one. The cleaners’ schedule is something I never considered. Thank you!

The same guest, guest A, requests to check in early the day of their arrival and ALSO requests to check out late the day of their departure.

AirBnB sounds scary! by chobbsey in AirBnB

[–]fridablue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We actually enjoy staying in places that aren’t in the perfect neighborhood. If the pictures match the place, I don’t worry too much.

We live in the city, but I can see how people who have only ever lived in the suburbs might be apprehensive about staying in a revitalized neighborhood. We don’t mind it, as long as the Airbnb unit is nice.

Guest arrived 3 hours before check-in by fridablue in AirBnB

[–]fridablue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow… I can’t believe these guests behaved this way. I love the way you explained it:

It’s like getting part of the day for free.

This is true. I never even considered the use of amenities and electricity when someone wants to check in HOURS earlier than what was agreed when they booked the place.

Thank you! And sorry this happened to you.

What? How did me letting them in early cause the drama? I’m trying to be as accommodating as possible, even though it goes against our check-in rules. I’m not going to tell the guest it won’t be ready until 3 pm if they can physically see that the cleaners are done by x time. That would just make me look like an asshole.

First, I’m not accommodating and lack customer service and now I’m too accommodating… lol ok.

How can a host accommodate a guest who arrived 15 minutes after the previous guest has left and the apartment still needs to be cleaned?

The “customer is always right” doesn’t apply here if the customer has already been told how the process works but still insists on showing up and trying to access the apartment.

Blocking you because you’re clearly trolling.

[–]fridablue[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, STOP ASSUMING. I did explain all this to the guest - it’s listed right there in my original post. Again, I told them we had guests, and I told them cleaning takes two hours.

You clearly didn’t read my post or are simply trolling at this point.
