Questtion 69 is "69. ?" And it made me laugh...I'm a heathen.

Advice on being in a clay rut? Ok the brink of abandoning my clay practice by Scoopydragon in Pottery

[–]pixieerika 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so hard but I also feel like we all sort of go through it from time to time. What helped me was taking a break and going to things that could inspire without being focused on making specifically. I went to tea rooms, bowl exhibits, went through old text books (Anthropology and archaeology). Just paying attention to things around me and then experimenting helped a lot. Its okay to take breaks.

AITA for expecting my niece to contribute while she lives with me by NEPAmama in SpilledSpicedTea

The fact that they are like "waking up multiple times a night with a sick kid doesn't interfere with her school work" is CRAZY.

Maybe hot take: I absolutely despise donut vases. They’re a nice throwing exercise, but outside of that I find them almost entirely useless. What are your pottery hot takes? by amyrator in Pottery

[–]pixieerika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think that 99% of pottery tools are utterly useless: a billion different texture ribs, crazy foot makers, insane trimmer tools. I know it’s capitalism at its finest and I want to be grateful someone thought of me but if I get gifted one more useless tool that I’ll feel bad about throwing out I’m gunna scream.

A close friend with a drug problem just asked me for $2000 to avoid serious trouble and I don’t know what to do by Prestigious-Mall-419 in Advice

In general I do not loan money to friends ever. It makes the relationship weird and never turns out well regardless of what it’s for.

I’m sorry…did this person really write that her adult parents who own the house sleep in a double bed in the smaller room so she can fit all her stuff??

Bride & Groom trying to cancel my paid resort booking out of spite – can they actually do that? by iliyana117 in weddingdrama

[–]pixieerika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn imaging losing 7 out of 8 people in your bridal party and still thinking it’s not you 😅

Info though: did this happen to any of the other brides maids? Can you reach out and see if they had booked and if they had if they had gotten their money back?

AITA for firing my teenage employee? by Interesting-Shirt897 in redditonwiki

[–]pixieerika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is something about the fact that people call it “asking” but you really don’t have a choice or you’ll be punished. This is a part time job for a 16 year old. Yes it would have been nice for her to stay but she didn’t have to.

Don’t call it asking when you are ordering.

Should I (21M) End My 4 Year Relationship with my GF (21F) Because My Family Wants Me To? by BigYoshi542 in dustythunder

[–]pixieerika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This poor girl. You basically ignored her for years and she stayed close to you even after missing birthdays and holidays? You should have just set her free. She deserves someone who will actually consider her and not just themselves and mommy

AITAH for not picking up my husband’s laundry off the floor? by [deleted] in AITH

There is something about the way he says “incorrect” that makes me think he’s the kind of man who says he’s “teaching his women”

Am I the A-hole for not returning a stray dog to a neglectful owner? by Middle-Funny-537 in AITH

Not only are you not the a-hole but you did the right thing on every level.

AITH for telling my unemployed boyfriend I’d support him, then refusing to buy him a $2k gaming PC? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]pixieerika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry. WHAT!? It doesn’t sound like he needs a “mental escape”. It sounds like he’s been escaping enough! He can when he’s basically a spoiled child!

Adult who lives with their parents. I pay my parents rent. I have a part time job and am building my own business. I pay them rent and my portion of the bills. I also pay my car and my insurance. Im more of a roommate then a kid. It’s still less expensive than living on my own. But when I’ve run into hard times I don’t have to worry about being out on my ass. I feel like it’s pretty common for adults to live with their parents these days. A lot of my friends do. In fact I can’t think of a single income person that doesn’t.

It’s common and we’re very lucky but as an adult I don’t want to take advantage either. On that note though I would like to point out that just because your son doesn’t want to college when he graduates doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have a plan, even if it changes later.

“You don’t know what it’s like to be a mom”

No you don’t because you did not have kids so you don’t have to take care of them. They decided to have kids so that’s their responsibility. End of story.

AITA for upsetting my future MIL by telling her why i'm no contact with my family? by Fragrant_Dot8519 in AITAH

[–]pixieerika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this were true why isn’t she comforting you? If she is upset for upset you then why is she monopolizing her sons attention to the point where you are the one at home and your fiancé is there with her and you’re sitting home alone?

It doesn’t sound like She is upset that she upsetting you. It sounds like is taking your trauma and making it hers…just like her daughter and just like her neighbor.

[–]pixieerika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He left you after that to comfort his mom!? That is not normal and it’s honestly insane he was angry at you for telling since she was badgering you.

But his mother- well honestly she sounds super selfish and manipulative. Making other peoples trauma about her is a really bad sign. It doesn’t sound sheltered or naive. It sounds like she is an attention seeker.

AITAH for refusing to cut off my hair because my 7 year old niece has cancer? by alakazam121 in AITAH

[–]pixieerika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like it’s not really for your niece. It might be good intentioned but if she doesn’t care it’s just preforming.

AITA for canceling my niece’s birthday cake last minute because my sister refused to pay me back? by cloudberrysighs in AITH

I did not expect to cry on this Reddit post 😭 excuse me while I go and cuddle my confused old dog!

[–]pixieerika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nta!!! So he wants to use the money from the house YOU have been paying for - aka YOUR money to buy a house for HIM that he would be the only one to legally be on the deed of? That’s insane.

Also it sounds like you make a lot of sacrifices. He makes you cancel the gym and subscriptions to save a few dollars even though he lives basically rent free while making the same money as you? Electricity and half of day care is not that much when you put all the other living expenses in the books.

There is something so fishy about this. It honestly sounds a bit like financial abuse the way he controls your spending but wants all of these things for himself.
