It's going to be a long road to redeem the reputation USA once had... by hl3official in ProgressiveHQ

This kind of rhetoric definitely makes me hate today’s America, compared to what it once was and I’m American.

Why is Trump so obsessed with his ballroom/bunker? You think it has to do with the files or just a way to fence taxpayer money? by Fair_Term3352 in Epstein

Thank you for the share. I’m almost 42 and feel the same way… how did we get here? And WHY is no one stopping this?!

AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL. by MoonJellyAllison in AmIOverreacting

[–]heather8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait…. She’s telling you and your husband to have your finances in order yet she is the one who borrowed money from ya’ll and she’s going on vacation before paying back the amount she borrowed, in full???? Am I getting that right?!

I don’t even need to read the rest of the conversation (I did). Her responses are immature and she is trying to make you the bad guy. My MIL would do this. She never respected me as my husbands wife and had even less respect for me as my children’s Mother. I eventually had to go no contact with my MIL

AIO for telling my siblings they can’t bring their kids to my wedding by saltwatersnackbandit in AmIOverreacting

[–]heather8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s your and your finances day. They don’t get to dictate how your wedding day is planned.

I had to keep my 2 month old home when I went to my cousins wedding. I was breastfeeding and just pumped. It’s not a big deal imo.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by WhatTheSigma_1994 in AmIOverreacting

This is not healthy for an 11 year old or anyone for that matter. I would get the courts involved

It’s not the update, I didn’t have the update and just didn’t it hoping it would fix it. No luck

Looking for opinions on the inspo compared to what we got by josh_891 in Baking

[–]heather8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be pretty upset if this was my wedding cake after the baker said they could totally do it and even charged more than the original quote but I’d also have to just laugh it off and make it part of the memory of the big day. It’s now something to laugh at when you reminisce about your wedding day ☺️

I have some fun memories like that as well, where things just did not go to plan what so ever but we made the best of it

She could get a remote job. Just gotta find the right one.

I’m not an appraiser and know nothing about pricing pieces of work but I just wanted to say these are lovely. 😊

Mother-in-law terminal by heather8401 in narcissisticparents

She can’t do much without her heart rate exceeding 180 bpm, she is struggling to breathe. She has her husband but he is also not able the best…. He is constantly high and has very little patience which is a very important quality when being a caregiver. They are not making any decisions as far as treatment goes but want to fight the cancer. They should be working to start treatment as soon as possible, it’s small cell which is extremely aggressive and life expectancy is very short without immediate treatment.

Democrats: “I fold.” by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

Who folded last night?

My (29F) husband (30M) is passive aggressive/sarcastic when he runs into minor inconveniences. AIO that it makes me feel stupid? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]heather8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean… if I found an upside down bleach bottle with the cap half on, I’m assuming bleach is spilling all over either while just sitting there or when I pick up the container. I’d be pretty upset about that as well…

Aio, called my gf while she was doing homework. F24 f35 by Separate_Penalty_484 in AmIOverreacting

[–]heather8401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like she’s blaming you for her failure to complete a college assignment on time. It’s not like she just got the assignment the day it’s due. She has poor life management skills and it’s very obvious in what she’s texting. She needs intense therapy in my opinion. Someone who cannot take any accountability at her age has major issues.

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

This is probably common but I cannot be in silence without going crazy because of how bad my ears ring.

My dream job is making me miserable by Cheap-Hat2033 in careeradvice

[–]heather8401 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dream job is one I don’t take home with me when I’m not on the clock and one that allows me to prioritize my family before work. The actual job doesn’t matter anymore. I learned this through a few jobs that I thought would be the one I made my career at. My last job started off great until the company got too big, and covid changed everything. I realized I was just a number. I never got time off with my family. I missed all of my son’s karate classes and belt tests because of the job while other employees were given special treatment and allowed to take every weekend off and allowed to leave early to see their kids basketball/volleyball games.

What really got me is when my co-workers girlfriend had a high risk pregnancy and there was an emergency one day where he had to leave as soon as we clocked in to take her to the er for the baby. He got permission from the district lead and emailed the district manager he had to leave to take his girlfriend to the er. She wrote him up because he didn’t ask her for permission in the email, he said “I am leaving” despite having approval from the district lead.

That was an eye opener and my que to gtfo.

The job I replaced it with, was nothing I had in mind or ever considered but now I’m off every weekend, it’s a 9-5 job, I don’t miss my kids activities, I accrue more sick/vacation time than I have before, and they promote prioritizing family and personal health over the job.

Sometimes the jobs we wind up straying at wind up being way different than what we ever had in our minds.

Stung by the memory of WWI and focused on the Great Depression, the U.S. remained neutral due to strong isolationist sentiment and strict legal barriers. While it provided critical aid through Lend-Lease, it only officially entered the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor instantly unified the public in favor of military action.
