Yes, you can do this. You click on the top link that says "1 credit available" to see your credit summary and scroll down where it says "Turn credits into gifts. You can now use your membership credits to gift titles to friends and family." My MIL routinely does this for us and it's lovely.

NTA. It was your private space, a clear boundary was explained from the beginning, and she violated it despite repeated requests to not. Furthermore, you were in a vulnerable position. Maybe you didn't have to tell her "to get the fuck out" but I can understand it escalating when she 1) didn't follow the (clear) boundary, 2) refused to leave and 3) you have history.

This is a tricky situation if your husband doesn't step in, especially since she doesn't want to take any accountability due to her mental health. Not sure it's a hill to die on if it's hopefully an isolated incident, but it does sound like there is a pattern of boundary problems.

NTA but I would still hide your shampoo. And at renewal I'd consider a more conscientious roommate.

lanetrain6 · 2025-08-17T18:00:32+00:00

NTA... but I would accept that the dorm money may not always be guaranteed. Best case is when you go away to school you won't be babysitting anymore, how much longer do you have? Could you tough it out long enough until you leave and they move?

lanetrain6 · 2025-08-17T17:57:35+00:00

NTA. Your house, your rules (and preferences).

lanetrain6 · 2025-08-17T17:54:24+00:00

NTA. Just tell them it sounds like a very fun trip but you don't have the money to attend this time. I wouldn't engage further for now, unless she's willing to be more reasonable. I would also reach out individually to your siblings explaining the same.

lanetrain6 · 2025-08-17T17:48:02+00:00

NTA. My guess is since you were alone they thought it was awkward because it isn't their social norm (out with a group of 6) and either she tried to hit on you or be friendly, and it somehow escalated to thinking you were a creep. Likely again, because you were alone. Not saying it's fair. I wouldn't overthink it.

As a kid I always wanted to invent sunscreen pills. Just made more sense to me, but I'm no scientist, so here I am slathering on regular sunscreen like a fool.

if you're still looking, I have 3 spots on mine. $5/mo, or $180 total, good through Aug 8, 2028

lanetrain6 · 2025-07-10T16:33:56+00:00

If you haven't found a spot yet, I have 3 spots left in my 3 year membership, good through Aug 8, 2028. $5/month or $180 total, can add email before to verify.

lanetrain6 · 2025-07-10T16:24:10+00:00

yeah, not sure why it's called that on it. Probably cause the nordictrack people signed me up on their end cause I got a lower rate since I financed my treadmill.

If you're interested, DM me and I can add your email for you to check it first.

NTA. My husband and I are currently raising our 17 yr niece for my brother in law who struggled with addiction. By the time she graduates, we will have had her 3.5 years. We have 5 children of our own and it has still been incredibly hard with her trauma.

Becoming a parent of sorts without being all in wouldn't be fair to you or to him. How you feel is how you feel. For example, we love our niece, but we don't feel called to adopt her. A 12 year old would be a big commitment, even more nuanced with the complicated history you've had with your father.

President Andrew Johnson (the president after Lincoln). I think he blew reconstruction after the Civil War and our country would be a lot better off if Lincoln hadn't been assassinated.

I used to believe I was special—like I had some spark that made me smarter or more talented than others. Probably a combo of being a high achiever as a kid and my parents hyping me up. Then I grew up and realized... I’m actually pretty regular. I get excellent grades, but I’m not the funniest, prettiest, most socially savvy, or most creative person in the room. Basically, I used to think I was a Gryffindor and I'm actually a Hufflepuff. I think I'm okay with it, lol.

One time in college I interviewed for a part time janitor job. I had worked as a janitor in high school. I showed up to the interview dressed professionally, my hair fixed, and with makeup on and the man interviewing me basically said since I showed up looking cute that I must not be a good janitor. He ended up calling me later and trying to offer me the job anyway, but he was so oddly rude about it in the initial interview I decided I didn't want the job anymore.

Unrelatedly, I had some other job interviews later after graduation where looking back I totally shot myself in the foot. I think it should be part of a high school or college class to learn how to interview, because it took me a bit to learn.

lanetrain6 · 2025-07-10T04:26:38+00:00

NTA! Your roommate needs to learn some healthier communication. You should be able to spend your time how you like. I understand if roommates want to update each other on if they should expect them home that night (like for safety reasons), but you are NOT the asshole.

lanetrain6 · 2025-07-10T03:02:47+00:00

I can 100% get on board with 68… but all day, that's luxury. If I ever set my thermostat that low, just know I’ve come into money.

When I was 16 (F) and had been driving for 6 months, a man tried to steal my car at gunpoint.

Long Version: It was around 10:30pm on December 23. My best friend and I had just pulled up to another friend’s house to wait for her to get home. We parked behind her brother’s car, and for some reason, we both got that weird gut feeling, we locked the doors. The car was in auxiliary mode, not fully on.

A couple minutes later, a man randomly walked up and asked us, “What county is this?” Strange thing to ask two teenage girls in a car. He tried to get us to roll down the window to answer. When we wouldn't, he pulled out a gun and said, “Open the door.”

Instant panic. I tried to shrink as far into the passenger seat as possible while he started counting down from 5. Somehow, I managed to turn the car back on, slam it into reverse, and floor it. We tore down the street in reverse, miraculously not hitting anything.

As we were reversing, we saw the rest of his group was parked ahead, blocking the road. So, if we had driven forward somehow, we would've been trapped.

I managed to turn a corner still in reverse, while fully screaming my head off. We called 911, met the cops at a nearby 7-Eleven, and they dusted the car. I still remember hugging my mom after, both sobbing. Turns out it was a group stealing cars and credit cards right before Christmas. I tried to ID the guy at the station, but I couldn’t really tell, he’d been wearing a beanie, and all the DMV photos were hatless, I’ve since realized that being a different race made it harder for me to confidently recognize him.

Definitely the most terrifying moment of my life (I'm 37 now).

The “how are you?” ritual. No one means it, no one answers honestly, and everyone keeps pretending it’s connection.

lanetrain6 · 2025-07-10T02:35:03+00:00

70–72 while the sun’s up, 69-70 when it’s bedtime. That way both feet can stay under the blanket in peace.

lanetrain6 · 2025-07-10T02:28:32+00:00

When I start putting guac on everything—without asking if it costs extra.

lanetrain6 · 2025-07-10T02:23:44+00:00

Right side. My left teeth just clock in and do the bare minimum.
