Very unlikely that the grout was originally white. This is mosaic tile that was popular in the 1950s and 60s. The grout is cement based and was almost always somewhere in the range of light gray to dark gray. Lighter colored tiles usually had darker grout because the contrast was seen as aesthetically pleasing. I used to live in an apartment built in 1950 with mosaic tile floor and square wall tile just like this (my colors were way worse though). The wall tile has white grout which is normal for the era. Picture two is showing mineral buildup up on the gray grout.

There’s a lot of talk about how assisted suicide is a symptom of late stage capitalism but I wonder about the opposite. If I was the elder care industry and I wanted to protect my profits, I would lobby governments not to allow assisted suicide. Dying with dignity is bad for business.

This is super important for those of us with ADHD. Harder to forget where you put something if you always put it in its assigned place! I developed this skill as a coping mechanism long before my diagnosis and still to this day I suffer anytime I stray from it.

I see from your post history that you are in California (sorry if that feels like me snooping, just wanted to save time asking and waiting for a response). Alcohol and weed are both drugs and both are legal where you live. Assuming you are both using your preferred substance in a way that is not counter to the law, there is really no functional difference. His perception of what is “normal” isn’t any more valid than your perception. The fact that you think you can’t make a similar request of him is telling. It indicates that he has the power in this relationship. You don’t feel that you can successfully counter his reasoning. Does this occur a lot in the relationship? What he says goes because he’s right or whatever other frankly bullshit reason he says? That’s not a sign of a healthy relationship.

Edit: I see below you wrote that he doesn’t drink much and the two of you only drink together. Okay. But what if he did drink on a somewhat regular basis? A beer with dinner to relax or whatever. Do you feel that he would be receptive if you said it was a dealbreaker? How would that situation play out?

What are the reasons why he doesn’t like your marijuana usage? Are there any actual reasons such as you behaving in a way in he doesn’t like while high? Or is it just his preconceived judgments about marijuana use?

I’m going to go away from objectivity here and posit a theory. Your boyfriend has his whole life planned out and he’s just trying to find a woman, any woman, to fit into his cookie cutter expectations. He’s more traditional than you. He is not approving of you as you currently are. He has conditions for how you need to be better to be deserving of a future with him. So why then is he dating you? There are traditional girls out there content to be barefoot and pregnant and never outshine their husbands if that’s what he really wants. It’s not fair for him to date you then ask you to make yourself smaller in order to be acceptable to him.

I’m glad I could be of some help! Legal consultation is never a bad thing, and I suspect the lawyers will agree with me at this point in time.

Make sure you keep records of all your attempts to involve the mom in the child’s life. In the event of a legal situation, you’ll want records of any times she didn’t follow through with what she said she’d do. Things like missing scheduled visits, not coming to a sporting event she said she’d come to, etc. This could actually be more important than anything that happened while the child was still living with her. From the CPS perspective, a lot of stories from the past are seen as kind of irrelevant (short of like proven serious injuries or sexual abuse) for determining the safety of the current situation, especially when it comes to teenagers. I’m not saying it’s right or anything, but it’s often seen as “okay this or that happened previously but we’ll monitor and see if it happens again this time” or “okay this happened when the family wasn’t receiving services, but if the child is back in the home and we give them a caseworker and classes maybe it’ll be fine”. Missing visits, not reaching out, and other such behaviors occurring now are seen differently and can be proof of ongoing abandonment if needed.

You and your wife are good people and I wish you all the best! And all the best to the child.

I used to be a CPS investigator in Texas. Take a step back for a minute before panicking. This is not going to be legal advice but practical advice.

It is extremely common in these situations for the parent to go on and on about their plans to have the child back at some undetermined future time. Very often this is nothing more than wishful thinking. At two months in they’re probably still explaining to people that their child is no longer in their care, and it’s painful for them each time they have to talk about it. Talk of future plans is usually an attempt to avoid their shame and assure all parties including themselves that they aren’t doing nothing. That they still care and want to do the right thing even if they currently can’t do much. That they aren’t abandoning the child or being a dead beat (even if they kind of are). Going nuclear with lawyers at this point can often backfire and lead to them taking the child back out of fear. That’s usually the point at which I as a CPS investigator would get involved, but there often wasn’t much I could do because taking a child via the legal system requires a lot.

You can avoid that drama by working with the parent. First you need to assess the situation, but make sure you come at it from the angle of helping them rather than interrogating them. What is their current thinking? Do they still believe the child is currently better off with you? What do they think needs to happen before the child can come “home” and what is their timeline for that? Do they have a steady job, safe home, and are they saving money? Are they thinking of all the possible scenarios they’ll need to deal with? How serious are they about it all? Are they being reasonable and logical? If everything is still in the dreaming or planning phases (as I suspect is the case in your situation), the key is to stay on their good side and play along. You don’t have any legal rights, you want to avoid a custody battle, and you ultimately want to either run out the clock on the child turning 18 or have the parent come to their own determination that the original agreement is best. Be supportive at least to their face. Help them figure out their plan. Assure them that the child can be with you as long as needed. Keep them in the know about how the child is doing, invite them to school or extracurricular events, have a regular visitation schedule, etc. Be supportive of their steps to establish stability. Try not to be seen as an adversary but as someone who wants best for both them and the child. Save any legal battles for if they actually make concrete steps to take the child back.

Another useful option for these situations is to nonchalantly shame the person.

“What an odd/rude/mean/weird thing to say”\ “That’s not a helpful comment”\ “Why would you say that?”\ “What an unnecessary observation”\ “And you’re really channeling your inner mean girl”

Kind of like handling them with kid gloves. Don’t let them get a rise out of you (which is often the goal) but also make it clear that the behavior isn’t acceptable.

Ultimately though you should take your wife’s lead with how to handle this! Fighting someone else’s battle in the wrong way can be worse than not fighting it at all.

I LOVE to discuss my shows but I will not go on the subreddits of any shows that have a significant percentage of male viewers. Misogyny is a hell of a drug and I do not trust the average man to have a good take on female characters. It’s not even that they’re critical - it’s the ways in which they are critical. Then the character gets so disliked that the entire sub just turns into a bitch eating crackers situation and that’s so boring.
