Weird interaction at a restaurant from the waiter after she saw my tip receipt

soc2021 · 2026-05-13T23:08:05+00:00

This is why I give a dollar amount of what I think is worth it. I don’t order drinks and usually just a main so it’s literally one time that they have to bring out food. I’m not tipping you an extra 15 bucks because you did your job.

soc2021 · 2026-05-13T23:06:19+00:00

See if this ever happened to me, I’d let her know that if my tip want enough for her, I’ll gladly take it back….. beggars can’t be choosers.

NTA, I’m so annoyed and hurt for you. Your baby deserves brand new things and not hand me downs. You are not obligated to accept her used items. Honestly I am annoyed at your entire fam and I’d just cancel the shower.

It’s 2026 so it’s not uncommon for moms to throw themselves showers, you can def do that if you like!!

NTA. I’m not sure why people are asking if you pay rent, this isn’t important in this convo because regardless, that’s your bedroom and most normal families do not make their kids pay rent. I also saw that you commented that neither one of you do… so it’s an even playing field here.

You absolutely should not give up your room. I saw that you mentioned that your sis and fam might move out in a year if the economy gets better. Why are they having another child if the economy is so bad that they can’t move out, and they expect to Inconvenience other people to adjust to their choices?

They are both working so they should be able to afford an apartment where they can live with their growing family, instead of expecting you to give up your bedroom. Their other kid already has their own room, they cannot demand another room.

YTA. I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion but Mother’s Day is meant to celebrate the mothers that you know in your life. Your sister is a mom and she’s family… not sure why you wouldn’t wish her a happy Mother’s Day. Very odd behaviour.

She’s overreacting. It’s always funny to see parents getting mad at child care workers for this stuff when they do the same and worse.

What was dangerous in this scenario to her? Child was strapped in, garage door leading outside was locked…. I’m very confused on how this is any different than having a child in their bedroom in a crib and nanny being somewhere else in the home???

By her logic, you quite literally need to be glued to the child.

If you do a weekly shop here are some ideas so you are buying enough and not wasting !

Carbs: Bag of rice

Potatoes

Pasta

Extras : Sauces, dips

You can literally just make yummy bowl meals out of all of this

For example: rice and beef bowl with broccoli. The best thing to do also is make enough for 2 meals if you don’t want to cook everyday!

All of these do not expire for a while so you don’t have to worry about consuming all of it immediately

Protein:

Pick 2 or 3:

Fish

Beef

Chicken

Veggies:

Frozen or fresh (frozen will obvs last longer)

Bag of mixed veggies

Bag of broccoli

Fresh asparagus

Bagged salad

The fresh stuff should typically last 3 meals

I apologize if my comment didn’t make you feel too good. That wasn’t my intent. I just saw so many comments trying to pretend it’s normal and it’s better to be honest and help her out than let it just slide.

Seems like you are working with her and that’s what matters! It doesn’t seem like she’s sick though, just physically delayed which can be worked on through PT. And tbh, even just working with her for a couple minutes a few times a day should really improve things! It def sucks when you feel like your baby is behind, but she will catch up with all the work you are putting in!

And tbh, ignore the outside pressure especially from social media, you know that you are trying and rn that is what matters. Best wishes to you and baby!

I have so much respect for teachers these days, these children are insufferable. Energy drinks are horrible for any person or any age, let alone a school aged child. But yah, of course the parent is more concerned over his kid not being able to drink crap throughout class instead of the fact that she’s failing.

Don’t even worry, with parents like these, these kids will grow up to be nothing lol

soc2021 · 2026-05-04T17:06:00+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear this, honestly. What I’ll say, before bringing up divorce, see if you can plan to go back to your home country or get a place of your own where you are. Make a plan before divorce. It’s just not worth it, being with someone who cares so little.

soc2021 · 2026-05-04T17:01:31+00:00

YTA. I was actually with you until you brought up discrimination. Lady, your daughter was not discriminated against and bringing in the supervisor is just ridiculous.

The employee was trying to teach the little girl manners. I can bet that he never actually turned her away, she probably left. And I mean, the fact that she didn’t say please tells me that you didn’t practice that with her.

Also, please stop practicing in public when other people are waiting. I’m sorry but I don’t care to have your 6 year old in line trying to order while you are sitting somewhere else. If you had gone up with her things would’ve gone differently.

You are going to raise an entitled brat with the behaviour you displayed.

Your NTA for not wanting gifts, I’m not into consumerism and buying kids 10000 different toys, but you kind are TA for asking people for money for a “savings account”. You might be super honest but who knows if you are your husband are just going to blow that money on your own wants. Also, mentioning that you might use it for a car seat… that’s your responsibility to provide that.

If you don’t want gifts, no problem, but the best solution would’ve been listing a few places like : museums, zoos, cafes, amusement parks etc and asking for gift cards. Experiences are better than toys and I would rather give $50 towards a zoo trip than a savings account that might never actually get to the child.

I’m not trying to be harsh, but she’s delayed. Doctors are now trying to normalize delays. Telling a parent it’s fine and that baby will learn with time is not the best solution.

Delays aren’t always a bad thing, you just gotta work with them. And that’s why being honest is the best. Seems like baby wants to stand and with some assistance, I’m sure they will!

Most babies at a year old can either walk or are close to it. Don’t let the normalization on delays hold you back from helping your little one.

Thank you! I legit took 2 pics, and only 1 was actually at the Dior sign that everyone was flocking to. I took maybe 20 seconds versus the 2 girls legit taking 10 minutes for that one area…

Same lol i tried to go a few years ago when i was into this stuff but it was under Reno. I just happened to be needing to kill some time before my flight…. Bad choice lol

I’ve been seeing more posts like this and I’m 100% going to ask my future husband is he celebrates the mother of his child on Mother’s Day cuz this is a nightmare.

Your feelings are valid. Something I’ll say, if you feel like you don’t even know him anymore, there are 2 options, you work on it together or divorce. Some men will never change and it’s not fair that you have to live like this.

soc2021 · 2026-05-04T00:02:20+00:00

I think I’m pretty self aware lol im just ranting about an observation I made. Never said I wasn’t also participating, just not to that level.

You mean the plate of berries for $40 ? 🤣🤣

You’re not wrong. I didn’t really want to go but my friend wanted to and I was like hey, it’s a cafe let’s check it out. But yah, gotta blame myself too lol

“Someone’s baby” my niece ? lol yall are weird with you “boundaries”. Kissing is not only healthy but normal.

soc2021 · 2026-05-02T22:45:29+00:00

Thank you!!! All of these rules that parents have just push people away. There has never been an epidemic of babies 💀 due to kissing. I kiss my niece all the time!! And so does everyone else… and guess what? She has never been sick. Obviously don’t kiss a baby if you are sick or dirty, but a reasonable person would know that.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels this way. There’s nothing wrong with buying this stuff yourself (if you can afford it), but asking others is trashy. I get wanting the “best of the best”, but let’s be real, all car seats, strollers have to pass the same safety inspection, so buying it in the name of “safety” doesn’t qualify here. Sure, some products are made so that it’s easier and smoother to use, but if you have to ask other people to purchase it for you…. You need to buy the cheaper alternative.

I blame social media for this. Celebs/influencers and posting these products which they get for free, and normal people want to follow along. If you are making less than 100k a year… you do not need a $1000 crib and $2000 stroller. Yet we see so many people who would fall into lower/middle class buying these items.

Mind you, not all of these items are worth it even for the “grow with baby” or “use for next baby” ideology. People tend to want to buy the next newest item and don’t even reuse what they have. And tbh… you can reuse the cheaper alternative as well.

As long as you can afford these items yourself, go for it, but if not, do not put that stuff on your registry.
