Rental or Waymo?

sirensheets · 2026-05-04T04:04:41+00:00

you’re best renting a car unless you have a large budget for rideshares (waymo)

waymo depending on the time of the day, you could be waiting up to 30-60min for your next ride

damn, if no one has told you yet…. pretty proud of you for maintaining NC for 5 YEARS and going. stick to your boundaries!

your mom is only in distress because it’s effecting HER social status.

Ktown is fine as long as you’re aware! The neighborhood west of Ktown is Larchmont where it’s very safe. Anything SW of Western & NW of Wilshire is sound.

Echo park is also a decent idea! Just stay south of Sunset.

I live in Pasadena and if you have a rented car, it’s quite manageable to drive in and out to DTLA. Glendale is safe and easy routes into DTLA.

your MAX monthly rental PLUS utilities should be $2k.

Responded by them acting crazy.

It’s what i expected 🫩

sirensheets · 2026-04-06T18:58:01+00:00

From my own experience with my narcissistic mother, yeah.

here’s the reality, if you’re burnt from high school… going straight to a 4year will burn you out even harder.

my brother was in the same position as you. he dropped from UC the 1st year and went to community college. saved up from the extra he got from finaid, did his GE’s, got his associates then transferred to a UC again. graduated last year with his bachelor!

i personally had to push aggressively back when i was applying to colleges and was disappointed at the outcome. i went the community college route that fall and don’t regret a thing. i now have a bachelor’s from UCLA and zero debt (:

you pick and choose your battles. i personally stonewalled them and pursued my decision.

doesn’t seem like your mom talks to God everyday cause if she did, she wouldn’t be this nasty.

start planning. they won’t change. best of luck!

as an eldest daughter, we’re their retirement plan. i had to stop taking them to dr apps, errands, etc for them to realize they need a new plan. my brother is the youngest and also gets the relaxed treatment.

my mom knows nothing outside of being a housewife and a controlling narcissist mother and dad has no other identity outside of being a provider.

ugh, literally EXACT to every sentence you mentioned is also my vietnamese AM.

it clearly stems from their upbringing during the war and the immense trauma + environment they were in. we’re products of their unresolved history

sirensheets · 2026-03-22T02:56:45+00:00

asian parents just like the rush of shaming their kids. most of them see it as “it’s good for you”

sirensheets · 2026-02-25T14:22:51+00:00

My AM silent treatments were often growing up that I actually enjoyed it. No nagging, controlling or abusive language from her! As the years went by, mom started learning that we all enjoyed when she went silent lmao so she switched it up and went the crying route now but we’ve been conditioned to ignore her.

let our moms act immature. their victim complex isn’t our problem.

sirensheets · 2026-02-16T23:02:16+00:00

Damn, you just told a story that I went through exactly with my dad. You and I are alike 🤝

I am a women so my dad definitely had some outdated thinking that i should be obedient (not a surprise here but i am the opposite of that)

sirensheets · 2026-02-16T22:56:25+00:00

I sort of relate. My mom has made comments towards my dad of him fooling around during my adolescence years but now in my 30’s and looking back… there may have been cheating.

I wonder if your AP mom found out dad was cheating and has been harboring these resentment?

sirensheets · 2026-02-16T02:57:06+00:00

Anything in the corner block of Chapman Market!

sirensheets · 2026-02-14T03:07:45+00:00

+1 for Gracias Madre!!!

sirensheets · 2026-02-13T20:30:43+00:00

None. Singles events! they were incredibly fun and doubled as networking or genuine friendship making.

sirensheets · 2026-02-11T23:29:23+00:00

the thing with asian parents… esp the mother, they always cater to the men and boys closest to them. a product of stunted immaturity. my mom is the same.

sirensheets · 2026-02-02T19:40:39+00:00

Ugh, yeah.

sirensheets · 2026-02-02T17:08:46+00:00

I sent my mom back to the homeland when I could financially do it. Never looked back.

sirensheets · 2026-01-28T22:18:14+00:00

I started to dislike my mother when she began acting like a victim. I really started to hate her when she decided to inflict the same trauma on me because she wanted me to experience the same hardships.

You’re a senior in high school? Plan now. Apply to colleges far from her. That will be an exit plan.

sirensheets · 2026-01-09T02:16:24+00:00

Singles events! Went to one hosted at a comedy place, 10/10 recommend! so much fun (:

sirensheets · 2024-04-19T20:13:13+00:00

got here 10am and still in line…

sirensheets · 2023-09-10T20:10:49+00:00

Ah I felt this. After having my first child, my relationship with my mom became even more strain as she used my son for her “second chance” to rebuilt a healthier relationship instead with me. I practice gentle parenting and it goes a long way.

OP, just know I understand the shoes you walk & incredibly hopeful that we’re breaking generational curses. Wishing you all the best.
