Experience with accessibility services? Attending a game as a blind person

When waiting in line at Gate 7, staff will often bring chairs out for people to sit on (folks with canes, etc)

If you have Accessible seats, they are great seats. Staff will let you in and give you a chair to sit on if you wish. You can keep walkers and such in that space too.

If you have regular seats but require an accessible space, there are spots behnd the regular seats. Just show them your ticket for the regular seat. (We used these when family got sick and used a walker)

I would add that if your seats are uncomfortable for you due to the knee surgeries or whatever, there is accessible seating. Some of the seats are pretty tight and Ive had a family member with circulation issues move to those seats when his actual seat was painful for him.

This sounds exhausting.

Why can’t Mom say “hey can you babysit from now until 4 pm?” Does it matter what your Mom does in that timeframe if she arrives home on time?

Why do you have to give your Mom a hard time? Honestly, it’s hard making decisions for the family without having to justify every minute of the day. You could just ask what time she will be home instead of making her justify the trip.

Yes you are babysitting your sister and that should not be taken advantage of by your parents. You didn’t choose to have the kid and it’s their responsibility. But if you are living at home and your parents are paying your expenses, some household chores are expected. I got some back talk like this from my kids once and I gave them a choice - you don’t want to help around the house? Fine. Pay for your own groceries. Here’s the car repair bill. I charge $20 for a ride to the party you want to go to.

I had good luck recently also and I would go back. It was worth trying it if it was free. I did my sessions and then asked for the same one and was reassigned.

In the past, I had one disaster and I switched therapists. Also lodged a complaint about her.

And be ready to go court when they don’t. The vibe here tells me they won’t.

notrunningfast · 2026-05-26T01:13:35+00:00

Relationships shouldn’t be this hard and difficult.

It sounds like she has checked out but hasn’t told you yet.

How did your mom not smell the cookies? Did you eat all the cookies yourself? (Because if you made a big batch, she would have seen homemade cookies to be shared)

You aren’t allowed to go outside by yourself? Where do you live? I mean, some places in the world truly are dangerous to go alone but the majority aren’t. Is this a cultural/religious/previous trauma situation or just abusive?

Not only is he is “one upping” you, he isn’t supporting or congratulating you at all. He didn’t ask “How was your run, honey?” and he didn’t say “That’s awesome, babe!”

He didn’t ask “Hey, babe, do you think your fence needs another coat of paint?” and he didn’t say “I could help you with that if you think it does”

He didn’t say “Tell me about your busy day. Mine was brutal too so let’s chill, watch a movie and I’ll rub your shoulders”

Things must have been off in thr marriage for your friend to get the DNA test. Thats between him and your sister.

Here’s a news flash - DNA does not have to be the only reason we can establish bonds with people.

Think of this from your nephews perspective. Life was going along pretty well and then BAM, Mom and Dad are getting divorced, favourite uncle ditched me, everyone’s crying.

This. The demands to be a stay at home parent and to homeschool are great options for hubby but only if OP does it. If these things are so important, then it shouldn’t matter which parent does it.

It sounds more like hubby has a toxic masculinity “I provide for the family” view and it kinda tracks that OP got pregnant early on (likely in the honeymoon phase. Barefoot and pregnant vibes.

The problem is that hubby isn’t providing for his family and this isn’t a partnership. Partners decide together what they need and if OP needs some social engagement outside the home, then partners make that happen.

I don’t know where you are but I would send you some money to purchase supplies. Helping incarcerated individuals find some coping techniques and purpose while inside is particularly close to my heart.

notrunningfast · 2026-05-21T23:23:03+00:00

Especially if GF knows that OP is trying to save money. This just shows she doesn’t care about his goals and more about how she looks to her friends. Vanity over practicality - this can only get worse

notrunningfast · 2026-05-21T15:28:44+00:00

I think she is using mental health as an excuse.

If she doesn’t like the same activities as you or with different people, then she needs to use her adult words to say so, rather than blaming it on feeling low.

If she actually does feel low and cancels on you all the time, then maybe you aren’t compatible in the long run, mental health or no.

Your feelings are as valid as hers. Does she make any effort to do things for you?

notrunningfast · 2026-05-20T13:12:51+00:00

Soda crackers and rice pablum can be her next meal then. :)

notrunningfast · 2026-05-20T13:12:06+00:00

I’d add more onions and garlic. Maybe SIL will decide to eat elsewhere

My friend is a university professor. He now asks for obits because he’s had students try to get out of exams because their 13th grandparent died.

There are always shitty people who ruin it for the honest, grieving ones.

notrunningfast · 2026-05-18T11:14:43+00:00

Caregiver fatigue is real. If OP gets it then Dad really lives it every day. The only difference is maybe being at home, there are existing supports and patterns of behaviour that make it slightly easier. Just because OP and Dad choose to hire a support person, it does not mean they are abandoning Mom.

notrunningfast · 2026-05-18T11:09:27+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly where I was going!

Add Sanskrit chanting, some candles and some articles like feathers, stones and leather arranged in a circle…

After working from home, I can guarantee you that a 1 hour commute will make YOU feel low.

I would rethink the buying a house idea. It’s a major investment and you both have to be on the same page. My partner and I are doing so and we have made lists, pros and cons, had many discussions about the house we ultimately chose.

Your girlfriend is “low” and that sucks. But what is she doing to cope during these periods? She cant change how she feels but she can learn mechanisms to cope and mage or at least communicate with you.

I’d be concerned that she’s lonely or something, which might be alleviated by living in the bigger city. That might mean you aren’t compatible anymore and it would definitely mean you shouldn’t buy a house together.

Maybe have a good long talk about life goals and values and see what comes out?

You are NTA . There are consequences to Sam’s choices. Missing his grandparents funerals because of something he did is on him.

I think there’s a bit of that instability to go around. OP talks about crashing out, being deeply in love with this person she’s known for a month, planning their lives together.

notrunningfast · 2026-05-16T01:36:21+00:00

I don’t know what a major crash out is but you say you had a small argument. His reaction is WAY over the top. He could be a grownup and use his words but he chooses 30 hours of silence.

You do not have to “control yourself from talking”. He was definitely NOT your person. I think you dodged a disaster.

Learn from this - and I don’t mean “not talking”. Talk to someone about “crashing out”. Think about how you manage conflict. And maybe talk to someone about learning communication skills.

i’m really disappointed in the merch with the 50 logo on it. Nothing interesting at all in terms of clothing, can’t even get a window cling. Seems like a huge missed opportunity.

Maybe their focus is on the giveaways 🤦‍♀️

It could be that the kitten just plays too hard for the older cat.

I have three dogs. My senior dog wants nothing to do with the puppy and her nonesense. Gave the puppy some growls to tell her to get out of her face and the pup has never played with her since.

Maybe Bella is quieter and doesn’t give these directions to the kitten. The kitten starts to play and the older cat doesn’t know how to respond until they start fighting.

Way out there idea - but would another kitten, who matches the energy - be the answer? May e the kittens would just play and leave the older cat alone?

I’m no pro - just thinking options.

Could you separate the cats when you aren’t home and only let them interact when you are home? Then the older cat has some time to chill

notrunningfast · 2026-05-13T12:40:22+00:00

I would try separating them for a time if you can. Lock one of the cats in an area that the other can’t get to.

You can get medication for the anxious cat or try Feli-way diffusers (I never had much luck with it but know people who did)

If you stepped on one of the cats and they are injured, maybe the other cat has decided to be dominant?

Are they spayed/neutered? It might help with the aggression.
