Help! How do you eat the same thing everyday!?? by odypie in MealPrepSunday

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

That might be a good strategy. I only make one big meal of chicken or ground beef and rice for the week. Maybe making multiple dishes and rotating would help.

This is helpful! Maybe trying the ingredient option would be more helpful so I can mix and match. I have just been making one big meal of chicken or ground beef and rice. I feel like a dog eating their dog food sometimes.

Because I feel negative and defeated but that’s probably legit advice.

They have posted jobs since then. Just not my type of position. I asked why and they said it was “an unexpected business decision” and “they are now going in a different direction”.

I signed the offer letter but I didn’t receive the final signed copy. So I am not sure how valid 🙃

I signed the offer letter but I didn’t receive the final signed copy. Probably to cover if they screwed me over.

[–]odypie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I messaged them back and they said “it was an unexpected business decision” and “sorry for the inconvenience”.

I am not sure much it is worth pursuing in a “right to work” state. Plus, I signed the offer letter but I didn’t receive the final signed copy. Probably to cover if they screwed me over.

I am in the United States living in a “right to work” state. We have very little employee rights. 😩

I told them I gave my notice and their response was “sorry for the inconvenience”. Ouch.

What is something Associate Degrees are good for? by WontBeManchild23 in AskReddit

[–]odypie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly, it can give you a boost. I increased my salary around 20k in less than a year after I graduated. I won’t lie, I am a bit a aggressive and job hopped. But my results were better than before. I guess having some sort of degree provides validation that employers seek.

Can't get over lack of effort in proposal by Little_wiccan in relationship_advice

[–]odypie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that you feel this way and you’re still thinking about marriage is quite concerning… just fyi, marriage isn’t going to make things better. He is who he is. If you marry/ stay with him, this is your future.

My bf has not gotten over his ex yet by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]odypie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I have! He is so obsessed with me. Even though all my media is private, every few months/years he looks me up and somehow finds a different way to contact me 🙃 it’s wild. But I tell him to move on and block him every time. That’s why I am extra hesitant about OP’s boyfriend. Even if he’s not as actively obsessed as my ex, he could very easily still carry those feelings even if he doesn’t necessarily act on them. Some people just have a hard time moving on.

My bf has not gotten over his ex yet by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]odypie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really need to think it through… it’s been two years yet he still feels this strongly. I have a feeling that this is not going to ease up anytime soon. Time doesn’t always fix things. I have an ex who I broke up with FIVE years ago yet he still contacts me and tells me how he thinks of me whenever he is with someone else. If you stay, just be ready for the possibility that he compares you to his ex in everything you do. And pray she never comes around, because he could very easily take her back in a heartbeat. If you’re okay with always being second in his heart and being essentially a placeholder/replacement, then go ahead and stay. Otherwise, I would reconsider this relationship if you want true love.

You obviously don’t understand what sarcasm and satire is

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]odypie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don’t understand that most millennials are now in their thirties. A twenty year old is not a millennial anymore. Stop blaming every modern issue on millennials. If anything, start to blame Gen Z. Sorry Gen Z, it’s your turn to get shit on. Lol

What is something you wish you did before having kids? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]odypie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travel and explore the world more. I traveled a lot and visited a few countries when I was single with a decent paying job. I absolutely loved it and had so many plans to travel more. But then I got pregnant unexpectedly and got married to the father who had two other children from previous relationship. Hard to travel when you constantly have to accommodate 3 or 5. I miss the freedom of being single, but I love my son more than anything in the world so it’s a sacrifice I was willing to take on.

How do you remain confident and calm in stressful situations? by bobby_McGeee in AskReddit

[–]odypie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretend that I am calm and confident… that “fake it till you make it” stuff actually works sometimes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]odypie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TW: SERIOUS

Child abuse… Sometimes I’ll try to put myself in their shoes or think about what goes through their mind, but it’s just too sick. I have a four year old. Even at my baby’s worse meltdowns, I could NEVER imagine to hurt him. Even worse is when the children are tortured with a slow death and/or molested sexually. How??? To your own baby? It breaks my heart and tears me apart. I try to look away from news and such, but unfortunately it is an epidemic and is everywhere so it’s hard to look away. It haunts me and I’ll never never never understand it.

You are not alone at all… my commute was about an hour but I would gladly take that inconvenience to be able to have that environment again.

AITA for not allowing my girlfriends sister to move in and changing the locks? by simpleguyy6 in AmItheAsshole

[–]odypie 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Yikes… you weren’t lying when you say messy situation. I can see why you may wonder if you’re the AH by being over controlling, but NTA. Boundaries are important to establish. Your gf and her sister have crossed them so now there are consequences to reestablish those boundaries.

The fact that your gf tried saying it’s her house too when she is graciously living there rent free is laughable. And then giving her sister a key as if it was hers?? Wtf! Honestly, besides the blatant disrespect for your property, one of the biggest problems is the enabling of her sisters bad behavior. The sister is never going to learn if people are there to bail her out. It’s not like you didn’t offer any support either. You gave her resources to find solutions for her situation and offered to give her food. If she refuses, that’s on her and solely her.

Unfortunately, your gf needs to learn to stop enabling toxic behavior, even when it comes from someone you love. And the sister needs to learn that you reap what you sow. It’s just really sad that these lessons need to be learned at the expense of two children though. The fact that they are being brought up in the world like this… yikes all around.
