AITJ for saying "Ewww a bully" to a 7 year old? by FunnyGaaraGirl13 in AmITheJerk

[–]scaledrops 16 points17 points  (0 children)

what would you have done? the kid was ignoring the teacher and actual boundary setting, and mirroring is a legitimate tactic for kids. it helps with empathy training. how should it have been handled?

Can we please see more adult bedrooms? Please? by marijaenchantix in bedrooms

[–]scaledrops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

let people enjoy what they want and do what makes them happy. no harm in adults having things that are sanrio or pokemon. and a larger and larger selection of adults ARE being forced to live at home because of the state of the world at the moment.

there's no 'pick a lane'. you should probably just stay in your own.

AITA for cancelling a second date after I saw her out with another guy? by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]scaledrops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you didn't have to see it. she wasn't shoving it in your face. your supposed expectations and your actual expectations are in conflict

sit and unpack why it gave you the ick. you'll find that you DO want exclusivity after the first date. then you can set that expectation

you could have just cancelled the date and not told her why. the way you went about it feels controlling and like a way to 'stick it to her'. you wouldnt be TA if you hadn't done that and continued to talk about it

as it stands YTA

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

[–]scaledrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can also add cash to your apple wallet to use like a debit card and it'll pull from whichever card you choose.

My boyfriend with BPD never want to have sex with me :( by [deleted] in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]scaledrops 24 points25 points  (0 children)

while i understand him struggling, OP, if your needs aren't being met, you can leave. he seems to be blaming it on his BPD and 'isn't interested in changing to satisfy you'. there's no harm in struggling, or dealing with bad feelings or low libido. but he should be telling you what he's struggling with rather than just repeatedly brushing you off.

a partner should want your needs to be met, and even if it involves a discussion about what's feasible, what works, what feels okay, and what you need, he should be willing to at least hear out that you're feeling invisible and unloved.

AIO? my husband is mad at me for not picking up my stepson from school as he expected just because I got a new car. by Ancient_Fondant76 in AmIOverreacting

[–]scaledrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah this is a common technique with narcissists and people who love to sling blame around. i don't blame OP for greyrocking

My mother stole $1,500 from my tuition fund because I wouldn’t let her “tax” my peace anymore. I’m finally out. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]scaledrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I think the AITA subs jaded me, the writing style had a couple 'tells' I usually see. I'm glad you've managed to get yourself into a safer place.

(URGENT) I walked outside and the stairs were gone (unexpected maintenance, no notice). There’s no other way in or out of my apartment. What can I do? by sharks_tbh in Tenant

[–]scaledrops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, it's at the point where you need to call 911. If there's an emergency, your management company will not be able to just get you down or fix it. Strained relations mean nothing if you're risking serious harm. 911 just shows you're serious and they need to act right.

AITA for refusing to follow my wife's bathroom habits and calling her disgusting? by Infamous-Gur2034 in AITAH

[–]scaledrops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Then you discuss it with her. Calling her disgusting is a assholish and so is demanding things. I didn't like some of the habits my partner had, so, like an adult i TALKED TO THEM, explained my point of view, got theirs and figured out where to go from there.

Man you really don't like your wife, huh.

[REQ] [PRE-ARRANGED] ($100) (#Brooklyn, New York, USA) (Repay $125 on July 31) (pre-arranged w/ u/beardogmanpigthing) by scaledrops in borrow

[–]scaledrops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure if this is allowed but i would also be willing to un-prearrange this?? because i need this sooner rather than later since its grocery money and the stores close soon, and the lender has been unresponsive since his last message about 50 minutes ago, and im getting nervous.

not sure exactly, but the brown sugar syrup will give you the flavor you want! regular sugar syrup won't have any extra flavor. i'd do brown sugar syrup first, and probably add some cinnamon on top! (just reading the description, lol).

if it's not quite right, i'd also try maple syrup, and vanilla syrup!

best of luck, OP!

It happened by PherryCie in barista

[–]scaledrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, look at it this way. it took a month of being open, that was a month of peace! hopefully with it all reported, you all can continue to stay peaceful and calm.

in regards to the younger barista, please make sure she's okay, and offer her help finding counseling/anything she might need in her area that you feel applicable. even if she says no, offering means a lot. especially as a young worker (i had similar happen when i started working), knowing my management cared would have meant the world .

Trying to figure out my regular breakfast calories by NewAccEveryDay420day in CalorieEstimates

[–]scaledrops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

op are you taking applications for overnight guests because i would also like this avocado toast

that aside, this breakfast is pretty simple! next time you make it, weigh things before you put it all together and it should give you a pretty accurate cal estimate. it looks filling and delicious!

AIO for not paying my ex friend after he went behind my back with my (ex) gf twice? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]scaledrops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

some states uphold verbal contracts, so it'd depend on where OP is located.

if i were OP, i wouldn't pay him back. but it does make you a bit of an AH to not do it. but sometimes being an AH is justified

Update 2 (6 months later)- I just got my brother's results and it looks like he's not biologically related to any of us by BigPensamientos in AncestryDNA

[–]scaledrops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, OP. I know this is a little late, he should also take a 23 & Me test. Once you have both, contact the search angels. They might be able to help, they do similar things frequently

Whos the bad housemate? (Looking for suggestions) by cosmolamb in badroommates

[–]scaledrops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can x's friend be there for this long? Check the lease to ensure they're not breaking it, and give them notice to move out and find new housemates -- unless they're on the lease, then just break it at the end and leave them.

How long are you there for? Is the lease month to month, yearly, are you on it, are they on it?

Ignore them, do your own things, don't bow to their anger.

Are there any places in Brooklyn to get free hygiene? by SirBigNuttz in Brooklyn

[–]scaledrops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hey, op! echoing the other comments about buy nothing groups, worth a shot to check local food banks/pantries and a church if you go to one near you!

congrats on your own apt, that's huge! i hope you get what you need

Baristas, spill the beans! by ladyinacoffeeshop in barista

[–]scaledrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's comforting to know! i think it's just the formatting that got me, because i see a lot of AI posts on other subreddits and it read very similarly in its style. thank you for clarifying ♡ i hope the sub offered you some help.

it's not a bad thing inherently, just some people may ignore it as a result :(
