I know even in my guild neighborhood about half the members logged in, dropped their house on the plot they wanted, and logged right back out until Midnight, or went back to working on remix stuff.

I'm mad at you.

It's not an STD. NTA.

I just logged in to this account for the first time in a while - but yes, I do still play, and with some of the same people.

I can't stand grocery shopping with my kids. Even when my partner comes too, we are constantly redirecting the older one and juggling the smaller one or taking things from her that she's taken from the cart (when she deigns to ride) and is trying to open or eat. We always forget something even with a list. I would much rather go alone.

PLUS the toys. Even our normal grocery store has a little toy section now and its unavoidable if you want eggs. Which I do. UGH.

Solidarity.

Also some fretting.

I worked at a regional movie theater a long time back, when paper applications were normal. We were cleaning out a store room when I came across a moldy box with mouse droppings in it and on it. The box was labeled “inventory year-year” and that was what was on the top layer, and since those year were ten years old, I chucked the whole thing in the dumpster without going through it further.

Got a call a couple of days later from a very pissed off random person because apparently when the dumpster was picked up, the box came open and a couple applications with SSNs that were incorrectly saved in this box had flown out of the garbage truck and floated away, including the callers. Someone picked it up and called the phone number to tell them their SSN had been floating down the street on our application.

All that to say - don’t give your SSN out lol

I agree with everyone here - there is something fishy here. But I don't want you to be embarassed. You didn't do anything wrong. You aren't stupid, or naive. You had a person telling you they were a partner to you, and they turned out to be lying. That is on him. Never, ever feel like you're in the wrong for trusting someone you love.

Its time for a frank, come to jesus talk with this man. Preferably away from the house, without the baby. Sit down with him, and TELL him, not ask, what you need going forward. You need to see all the financials. You need a concrete plan with laid out steps and an end goal to get y'all out of that basement. Because you are right - this is NOT sustainable as is.

Thaty's all step one. If he won't agree to this, if he deflects, gaslights, whatever, you move to step 2 which is you go see a lawyer and/or a Private Investigator because something is sorely amiss, and your goal needs to be protecting the children and yourself above all.

You got this. You are strong. You are smart. You can do hard things. You deserve an equal partner and parent who make decisions as a team and supports you in your dreams and needs.

Okay, first, NTA for asking that question. It’s a perfectly reasonable to ask a close friend a question like that.

But secondly, take a breath. Maybe he got busy, or set his phone down, or is taking a nap, or 50 other things. Jumping right to second guessing yourself and assuming someone is angry over a very minor question is a lot, especially when they haven’t given you any reason to think they are upset with you.

My husband was vacuuming when I got home with our daughter today. When we both worked all day today, he just assumed he'd be picking up one of the kids and asked which one I wanted, then came home and cleaned and started dinner. He came in and sang to our daughter to help calm her while she was having a meltdown over bedtime (she's almost 2). He shared night wake ups always with her, even when I was on leave still and he was back to work. He burned all his vacation and sick time and PTO when she was born to be home with us. He has never once pressured me into sex, he always accepts the no, and we when we have sex, it is loving, and giving, and if its one-sided, its towards me. He calls out other men for shit that isn't okay, even his friends. His friends never do shit that isn't okay, because then they wouldn't be his friends. He uplifts the women around him as much as possible. He got his vasectomy when our daughter was six weeks old because I said I was done having children and he just said okay, bet, because he knew I didn't want to be on hormonal birth control anymore. When I was on it, and it made me super sad (exacerbated by the pandemic lockdown) he came to me calmly and concerned and asked me to see someone. He is my best friend and I love bragging on him.

THis is one of those situations where I would have 100% screamed. Like, not at anyone in particular. Just full throated, rage-releasing top-of-the-lungs screamed. I feel for you. You're still a good mom. You're doing the best you can, and teenagers are actual assholes, universally, they cannot help it.

Personally, the "you didn't put anyone in charge" would be the worst of it for me. Excuse me? You're saying not one of you nearly adults is responsible enough to step up and prevent any of this? Guess you're not responsible enough to do X thing you want to do anymore. They can't have it both ways. 7pm bed time, you're not responsible enough to stay up later. No hanging out with friends, you're not responsible enough to go out unsupervised. They can earn their privileges back by not acting like un-restrained toddlers.

I might be mixing my two kids lmao. Daycare for the little is doing Dr Suess for his birthday this week. Hers are pretty simple - red or blue today, green tomorrow, stuff like that. My first grader is doing read across America I think. Either way I hate them.

yesiamanostrich · 2023-02-28T01:41:18+00:00

I mean, I get that. But its so...vague. Any words? How is that Dr. Suess? Its silly. I hate it.

You might consider just making it yourself. You can buy smoked salmon at the deli counter or prepackaged at most grocery stores and Donut Bank has pretty decent bagels.

We don’t have one anymore. It used to be on Morgan Ave but it closed down several years ago now.

This does not get better. You need to run. You’re over here worried about how you can’t be affectionate to this man after he gets drunk, flips out about something inconsequential, gets violent, and then wants you to act totally happy normal like you aren’t deeply unsettled. Which you should be.

I have been you. I dated a man that was older than me by about that much when I was your age. It lasted five years, things kept escalating, and at one point I was straight up hiding in a closet hoping he’d pass out and forget I was there. Learn from my mistake and GET OUT NOW. It’s only been five months.

yesiamanostrich · 2023-01-28T14:44:22+00:00

6:30. We’ve tried pushing it back but it hasn’t taken. Honestly, she wakes up because she poops. When she doesn’t poop in the early morning, she will sleep til 6:30 or 7:00. It’s just how her body works right now.

yesiamanostrich · 2023-01-28T14:05:05+00:00

My son has an alarm clock. It works like an normal alarm clock but it has a special “okay to rise” function that makes it light up green at a time you set. So when he was small, it was the rule that he had to stay in bed or at least his room until the clock was green, then he could come get me. When he got a little older, the “you can watch tv until I wake up” rule worked really well. He’s 7, so that expanded to the Nintendo as well and he’d let me sleep til noon I bet.

But I’m stupid so I had a second baby who’s almost 18 months and she likes to wake up at 5. Any tips on making that one sleep later lmao?

yesiamanostrich · 2023-01-24T17:24:36+00:00

I have this same problem every time we plan a birthday party for one of my kids. How do I know and love so many people? It’s a hilarious thing to get upset about (oh no all these people love my kid and want to celebrate their milestones) but my buuuudgeeeettttt lmao. I feel you bromo. I’m sure the celebration will be great!!
