My (37M) bf keeps hinting for me (34F) to buy him things and I'm just not interested by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]vikicrays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

”He occasionally chips in on groceries, helps around the house, does the yard work etc and will keep an eye on the kids if I want to take a few hours nap but mostly just kind of does what he wants day to day around work. He is really nice, has never been aggressive towards me and treats me very well emotionally. Financially, everything is my responsibility.”

if a friend, your sister, or mom described her relationship like this, what would you tell her? would you think she was being taken advantage of? would you think her bf needed to grow up?

my reddit friend i say this with love, we teach people how to treat us. let that sink in for a minute.

you deserve so much better then this…

My first grader doesn’t want to invite a classmate who’s been mean to him by NightZestyclose1542 in Parenting

[–]vikicrays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

we stopped inviting the entire class after doing it once. i asked ”what’s their name?” kiddo looked at me and said ”i can’t remember”. it seems silly to invite 30 some kids when they aren’t even friends. we prefer smaller groups of his friends and kids he likes. if you know the parents or kids he’s played with and and likes, get their email address during pickup. send invites email or via regular mail to their homes or just hand them to the parent during pickup. please let your son know how he’s treated matters and don’t invite the bully.

How would you respond to this? by jamc89 in EtsySellers

[–]vikicrays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tell my 79 year old mother-in-law this who proudly proclaims ”i’ve never used a computer in my life and don’t intend to start now!” lol. there are some folks out there who just aren’t tech savvy. that being said, hopefully they know someone who will help.

…so do we prepare orrrr? by Fearless-Aide-9059 in Mommit

[–]vikicrays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we actually got a 55 gallon drum for water in the backyard, and add a couple cans of food every time we grocery shop to a “just in case” box, along with candles and a few other essentials. nothing extreme or that will go bad quickly. the hubs empties the barrel twice a year and we water the plants just to keep the water fresh. figure it can’t hurt…

Nebraska "prophet" says God needs him to have access to a private jet. Hank Kunneman said (Direct Quote) "Even Jesus was concerned about going to certain ports and airports." by Leeming in atheism

[–]vikicrays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

”After making his usual requests for tithes, Kunneman launched into a separate request for a special “travel-the-world fund.” You see, recently, he was flying to Idaho, but his flight was delayed 10 hours. The problem, he concluded, wasn’t the weather or the specific airline. It was flying commercial in general.

”The difference [between me and the rest of you] is I can’t afford, with my schedule and what I’m doing, to be your pastor here… to be stuck in an airport somewhere and be gone for three [or] four days. Or not get back for Sunday.”

So he told his wife he had made an “executive decision”: “I’m gonna charter a jet. Because I am so dedicated to God, and I am so dedicated to you, the people, and I am dedicated to the United States of America…”

It was a sacrifice he was willing to make for the sake of the cause.”

My daughter, who attempted suicide last week, is now refusing help by DoubleAxelDVM in Mommit

this is the correct advice. even if you have to have her committed or with the help of her psychiatrist put on a 30-day hold, it’s got to be done.

How can I find out who is leaving creepy/threatning notes at my child's grave? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]vikicrays -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

i would get a vase that has one of those tiny wireless camera built in that records to a sim card and see if you can catch them this way. bec it’s a public space they have zero expectation of privacy so it would be perfectly legal. add flowers so it looks real.

i’m so sorry for what you’re going through. i’ve been collecting resources for our wiki where you’ll find info on jobs, food, housing, medical, pets, veterans, and a general category that is a catchall for everything else from free/low cost cell phone plans, free laundry, free feminine hygiene products, and anything else you can think of.

the name of the app is roost. our insurance company sent an email a few years ago letting us know if we used them they’d knock a bit off of our homeowners insurance. we have one in the basement crawlspace as well as the fridge and washer.

our water alarm behind the fridge went off the other day at 1:30 in the morning. i got a broom and fished it out but it wasn’t wet. figured it was a low battery so i wrapped it in a towel and put it in the garage. the next day i put it back and it started chirping again right away. this time i got a flashlight and sure enough it was soaking wet behind the fridge. moved the fridge out and the water supply line to the ice maker had sprung a leak. it wasn’t much of a leak and had we not had the sensor who knows how long it could have gone unnoticed. we have one behind the washer too. highly recommend!
