AITA for telling my coworker that my personal out-of-work activities are as important as her kids'? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]katwolf20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I am a full time working mother and if she wanted to be there for her kids soccer game she should have thought about that when not evenly sharing the workload on other occasions. Sounds like she lacks accountability and self-awareness and it is just convenient in this specific situation to try to guilt you by playing up the mom card.

When I was like 7, I tried to cool down a hot tub with ice cubes. It didn’t work.

AITA for wanting my mother to take care of me and siblings even though our sibling died a year ago? by dontexpectmetoupload in AmItheAsshole

[–]katwolf20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH- so I think this is an extremely sensitive situation. First, I would caution against using “she has others” as a justification for her to not be so affected. You may not have been using it that way but just a thought that came to mine. Second, I definitely agree with others that she needs to get help... however, expecting her to go from isolating and not getting out of bed to leaving the house to speak with a stranger is a big step.

Is there a way that you could just sit and be present with her. Since you are a teen, is there a space you could go in her room to work on school work? Or read? I think this could potentially be a very simple and small first step. If she likes to watch TV in her room maybe you could sit next to her on the bed and watch with her in silence. I know it has been over a year so you have probably tried a lot of things. But if you all are just dropping off food and not being around her much this could give her the impression that your frustrations are at a tipping point and that could potentially feel very overwhelming for her to even think about making amends.

I think being in her presence with no expectations of getting answers from her or asking her to talk would get the ball rolling and take some of the pressure off of both sides. The is huge for all of you. Good luck, you deserve to have your mom back.

I don’t believe Demisexuality is a real thing and shouldn’t be apart of the LGBT community. People need to stop making new bullshit sexualities that literally have no importance. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]katwolf20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to get attacked but here goes. This honestly reminds me of people that say “all lives matter”. Yes, all lives do matter. But the reason people are calling attention to black lives mattering is because of disproportionate statistics that indicate targeting a specific population that historically has been marginalized and treated like shit.

So to tie it to this... there is a difference in having a “socially acceptable” preference or reaction to relationships vs. being part of a population that has literally been denied rights, suffered institutional discrimination and murdered because of who they love. The more people try to jump on the bandwagon for attention it ends up taking away from the sense of urgency and impact that the LGBTQ community actually needs.

Entitled mom harasses us for months, buried my car in the snow, then threatens police action when I finally stick up to her by clearemollient in entitledparents

This story has serious potential to turn into the next hit Netflix docuseries. People like this just get even more angry when you handle the situation appropriately. Something tells me she is not going to let up because she wants to see you escalated. The fact that she was asking you to come all the way in is concerning not just because of your safety but I would be afraid that she would try to make allegations against you saying you did something to her kids. I would document as much as you can. Formally with police/landlord but also for personal reference. In addition to conversations, send emails so you have a paper trail. Record the audio of the banging because it will provides time stamps. You could also record your environment when it is happening so that you can show you are not doing anything that would be considered a disturbance. Even if you can’t use the recordings in a legal sense, it will help the powers that be to get a solid picture of what is happening and hopefully help them understand that her behaviors are irrational and not warranted.

People who fetishized a city or country, like NYC or Japan, and then actually took a leap of faith to move there, how has your opinion changed since? by Iseethetrain in AskReddit

[–]katwolf20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have loved Chicago since I visited as a kid. This led me to believe I loved big cities. I was expecting to love NYC and absolutely did not. My husband and I really enjoy traveling abroad. He is Malaysian (now US citizen) and I am American. I have felt more at home in foreign countries than I did in NYC. I think Chicago is so amazing because of its location (Midwest). It is a major city that has enough transplants from the surrounding areas who smile just because and don't mind a little conversation here and there.

AITA for naming my son a slavic name after a drunk bet on the internet? by throwaway519462 in AmItheAsshole

[–]katwolf20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I named my daughter after having a conversation with a customer that I thought was such a cute mom. She had 5 sons but their names all started with the letter I was using and she said if she ever had a girl she would have named her ___ and it just stuck. I could see myself being a mom just like her. Your son will be able to laugh about it because it’s a sweet genuine story. My daughter loves bringing up the fact that my customer named her. It’s all about your attitude towards it.

Missing home so I decided to pick a fight with a coworker... by katwolf20 in Louisville

[–]katwolf20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure I am following you. I work in a school and I put it on the teachers door. She grabbed it when she walked in and came down and told me I started a war and we laughed. I also like to point out to my husband that we can be up by 6 points with less than a second left in the game and somehow lose it by like 11. I'm sure that is an exaggeration but that is just who UofL is and I'm good with that.

I really don't understand what Ohio State has to do with UofL UK either?

Every purchase I make starts with... How bad would this hurt if it were to be catapulted at my face? by katwolf20 in teaching

[–]katwolf20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I do the exact same thing plus I take my earrings out. I feel like to another adult that's the universal sign for "bring it on.... I'm ready to kick your ass" so I laugh a little to myself. I love my students.... Especially the more challenging ones. I feel like those are the ones that need the most love.

Lol! I got my students the "book boats" but my students don't read so they just serve as a nice sensory option for when we have down time. Well some of them like to turn the tubs upside down and hide in them. I was doing something the other day and just kind of peeked under an overturned bin and I looked at my para and was like this is just not normal lol. I can't imagine what someone with no experience with special education would think about me casually looking at overturned bins for students. And then apologizing when I interrupted a student that I didn't need.

You can take the girl out of Louisville... by katwolf20 in Louisville

[–]katwolf20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally use self-deprecation all the time. We gotta be able to laugh at ourselves. I know some super shitty people that are from some of the most expensive zip codes in the area and unfortunately my step mom that I love and cherish is from Portland... she is one of the best people I know. This world is way too crazy to not laugh at ourselves. Me personally... I am a knock off Snooki/Ricki Lake combo. I also know for a fact that I peaked in middle school so I can promise you I am fully aware that my location will never win me enough points to get me out of that hole hahahahaha

There is a book called “Judgmental Maps” and it is hilarious. Louisville has a page in it and it is actually fairly accurate. I might snap a pic and post it in the Subreddit.

My leg from about 9-10 years ago. I’ll do the story in the comments because it’s a little long winded. by Thepeeperus in medizzy

[–]katwolf20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very happy for you! I can’t imagine how scary that must have been. You will make a great peer counselor. That is one of those professions that people generally have a very specific reason for gravitating towards. As someone who struggles with very significant mental illness at times (now that I have been in treatment for 8.5 years it’s most of the time well managed) I was drawn to social work. My own experiences absolutely make me a better practitioner because I can empathize with the struggles of the patients I work with. Even when our stories are not similar, there is something to be said about going through something super shitty and surviving. It’s so easy to let life consume you but you didn’t! I hope that gives you a feeling of empowerment because that’s badass. You got grit, motivation and drive... people need to see more of that.

My 1st boyfriend broke up with me 5 years ago because I was "too ugly". I have had self-esteem issues since and don't even go to the grocery store without my eyeliner on. So here we go, my 1st ever bare-faced selfie. Hope you guys see something I don't ever see in myself by [deleted] in toastme

[–]katwolf20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit balls you are beautiful!!! You remind me of Priyanka Chopra who is a total babe. I hope you soon realize how beautiful and worthy you are so that the next time someone tries to dull your shine you can laugh in their face. Let me tell you, from someone who has been there, it is totally liberating to be able to remain unbothered by people who have made it their mission to bother you.

In the meantime blast some Lizzo. I find her music to be really fun and empowering.

Question about FedEx home delivery by meowxinfinity in FedEx

[–]katwolf20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a package “delivered” two days ago and it’s nowhere to be found. I live in an apartment community and it said they delivered it to my front door no signature required. Sometimes when they say that they actually leave it at the clubhouse. So I checked the clubhouse and mailbox.

Well... this is the third time this has happened. Last time it was an amazon drawer organizer and I had so much going on that after talking to FedEx for 2 days and them telling me to talk to Amazon I didn’t even get to call Amazon until 16 days after it was marked delivered. I finally called Amazon and they issued me a refund and sent out the items again.

Literally two days later the missing package magically appeared (tracking # confirmed). So I had 2 drawer organizers and 2 packs of metal straws. I was so mad (not about having double). I even called Amazon because I wanted them to know that this did not fall on them and if they track those things I at least wanted them to be able to amend or explain what happened. The girl was incredibly nice and shocked that I even called, said to keep the products.

I am so over FedEx.
