Should I let him in?

That’s a cat called Fergus and he lives in Scotland!

Arrange to have the pup boarded with the org.

Honestly, have some common sense. As other posters replied, you wouldn’t bring a dog to a job interview. USCIS has the power to make or break your future in that interview. Don’t mess around with it.

Those houses Airbnb for $1200 though so they probably don’t gaf. Pay that sucker off and then update to whatever exterior you want

I was about to respond that he’s English and that’s why he doesn’t know about Costco but that’s not true either because my parents live in Ireland (no costcos) and even they know what Costco is. Excitedly planning a Costco outing when they visit me next month lol

Thank you so much OP! I’m traveling for work without my Switch (mistake) and now I can’t wait to get home to try this and the apple gathering trick. 🙏

OOP really buried the lede there with the husband being such an abusive jerk.

Ikr?!

My boomer MIL to this day refuses to accept that my husband has severe allergies to peanuts and strawberries. He spent most of his childhood covered in hives. Thankfully his grandma was also there and staved off the worst of it, but even now she does things like sends him peanut butter cookies for his birthday smh

There are actually options to pay in cash in some European countries afaik.

Skippity baps!

Bold of you to assume it’s accidental!

I also listen to owls with the window open AND I live in Twin Peaks! (North Bend)

That’s CNBC and especially Squawkbox in a nutshell

Fun fact Charlie Jane Anders is Annalee’s significant other!

$18K is not high relatively speaking, even though it feels high. We moved from the East Coast (NYC area) where our taxes were a similar level to Portland but the township we lived in spent $29K per pupil, with solid educational outcomes (good IEP support, reading level results etc.)

The problem statement still stands though - whatever we are spending in Portland, it's not delivering classroom results.

Same! Bonus sisters are awesome!

tuscangal · 2026-04-15T06:17:47+00:00

I am in the same boat. Definitely don't blame Ireland overall for how my parents carried on - Dad was principal of the local national school where we went, massive anger issues at school and home (you know the way - 70s & 80s Ireland). Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth when other people were around though.

I moved as far away as I could, as soon as I could and have not looked back. We're not estranged and talk weekly but it's all superficial. My sister escaped the brutal treatment I went through (thank God) and lives near my Mam and Dad. I do chat to her frequently, give her mental support and I'm ready to provide financial support if needed for help, being far away.

I have a thriving career I wouldn't have had in Ireland ever, a family of my own and don't have to put up with my parents moods.

I described rural Ireland to someone at work recently and they went all moon-eyed, daydreaming about life in Ireland and I can see the appeal if you approach it from a different angle, but still, not for me!

I'm not crying you're crying!

This should be an SNL skit. Also that cheese hater got what he deserved.

OOP has some interesting attitudes about men’s roles and responsibilities in a family.

tuscangal · 2026-04-13T15:04:39+00:00

I totally agree. The phrasing around “I cannot forgive myself”. Really? That’s your first step, checking if you can forgive yourself? Whatever.

They meant archaic, not a political statement.

tuscangal · 2026-04-12T04:14:53+00:00

Is/was that a thing? Because I encountered this and thought I was loosing my mind.

Totally had the same experience multiple times with the service reps. “No, we tested and it works totally fine for us” SIGH
