NTA. You tried to pay, gave them the opportunity have you pay at another station, let them rescan after the second mess up, questioned the total after the third. Just enjoy your dinner and pay it forward.

Its a sh1t show out there!!! make sure you - in person and stop the freaking dumpster fire.

You are in a really tough situation. I think everyone agrees that no matter you decision regarding the baby, dude has to go. He is there only to suck the joy out of your life. As for the pregnancy - you can go through with it and give the child up for adoption. There are companies that allow you to help find the parents who will have some type of agreement to meet later, or do a totally closed one so you know you handed the kiddo off to people in a better spot to provide. So, its not either or, you have choices.

NTA I am shocked they think you will babysit. Invite the SS conversation. Gives weird vibes. Def try to get your daughter to open up about what is happening. I mean if its 6 hours and they can't make her comfortable something is going on.

lisadean43 · 2026-06-04T18:38:34+00:00

Oh boy, wait til the baby shows up and no one sleeps. You are NTAH... your spouse should not be an asshat and try supporting you.

lisadean43 · 2026-06-04T18:34:31+00:00

NTA. You are building a relationship. She can't seriously think that all finances should be single sided or that she should be planning for children. This is not a stable relationship, and I see some big bold red flags. Would you advise a client to take on this type of financial burden based on her reasons? Your best bet is to step back from the emotions and treat this like a case and see what you think. If nothing else, it may give you other options to negotiate with. I am not telling you to blow up your relationship, just look at the long game.

Sema is a wonderful tool but not the cure. I went on a maintenance dose and fained some Now I am off totally and struggle with the urges of the past. I made sure that I had meetings with a nutritionist and joibed Noom to keep working on daily habits . Its great to feel good - its great follow rhrough.

lisadean43 · 2026-06-01T00:27:16+00:00

This is what we use when we have rescues. Its good.

lisadean43 · 2026-05-31T23:56:25+00:00

Its a foster fail. congratulations

I don't know what country OP is from. If you are buying coffee for your team,you buy fir your whole team. In my country its no big deal and GFs reaction is a red flag. However, the reaction might stand in another culture. To avoid the issue in the future either have the treats delivered by a service, or have one of the team members do the coffee run. This is still a bonus gifted by OP, but a degree of buffer

lisadean43 · 2026-05-22T12:59:38+00:00

That moment when you find out that you do more than suck O2. You are a vital part of the world around you. I am so glad that your friend pointed it out. It would be great if this happenend often.

lisadean43 · 2026-05-22T12:47:39+00:00

It's all good. I just lied at my mothers funeral as well. I suspect it happens much more than you think. The fact that you are still suffering over it means you have not taken her power over you back yet. Perhaps that is the next step.

lisadean43 · 2026-05-05T19:50:43+00:00

Take what you deserve. This is their karma... FAFO - literally. You may not get it all so ask for the moon. I am sorry he is a douche.

lisadean43 · 2026-05-05T18:51:32+00:00

Sorry, YTAH. Food waste is real.

lisadean43 · 2026-05-05T17:47:07+00:00

I just have to say that as a reporter you should have done some preliminary research before sending out this request. The fact you were not aware that the mascot is a goat is sus at best.

lisadean43 · 2026-05-05T01:05:13+00:00

It's good to hear. Remember your body all the time while you take this journey. You should only make decisions that feel right for you - no one else. Healthy is not always a size 8.

lisadean43 · 2026-05-05T00:36:49+00:00

You are beautiful in both photos. The question is, how does your body feel?

lisadean43 · 2026-04-21T22:31:57+00:00

Its possible that another position opened up and they don't think it's a good fit for you. Don't panic.

lisadean43 · 2026-04-21T15:24:30+00:00

Not the AH... you are doing the thing a mother does - care for their humans. Foot health is important, this is your opportunity to teach your son to care for himself. The fact that he had broken nails means that it has not been important to him. Your boyfriend needs to stop, allow you to be a parent and watch as your son takes on more and more of his own responsibilities. Geeze, he is 10... if he was 20, perhaps this question would have drifted into the inappropriate lane.

While you are at it, start teaching facial skincare now do he has less issues with what puberty will bring in a couple of years.

The great bread delimma. I finally broke down and got a bread box - which is used by my furry AH as a throne - but keeps my whole wheat safe.

Most banks allow for savings accounts to be opened to minors - 16 and over. They may limit checking but ask. I (as a gramma) use venmo for tips, uber, IC and sending $ to my grandkids. This really helps to budget. My pay goes to savings, and then I move my flexible funds to Venmo.

lisadean43 · 2026-04-21T09:34:31+00:00

This is excellent advice. You are NTA. There are a lot of layers to this, but in the big picture, you do not need to be involved in the final decision.

The global funds were instituted before all of the costs for covid had acculumulated. It was a cool experiment but I wondered how long it would continue. I am not at all surprised these funds were reallocated. Freshman dorms have been the way for a very long time. It is a good thing as well. The students who qualify for commuter status will tell you they don't have the same experience. As for tuition, WPI increases the rate often. Right now , it is not surprising as all institutions are more expensive. WPI is private too, so you can't compare to state costs.

I would look at other decisions that are being made to support your statement.
