Could just be the dad. I mean, he's the main one who benefits by this, I wonder if he heard about his son's situation and decided to cash in.

How dumb is the son that this sounds like a good deal? Everything the guy says and does loving reeks of Tatertot alpha male bullshit. He's literally too stupid and angry to understand anything other than he needs to put down this uppity bitch who dares to out earn him.

Why not both? Doesn't it seem funny this change in behavior coincides with the dad's arrival? Dad could be stoking the 'as the MAN, you need to make money and here's how!' grindset attitude to his benefit If this guy is in any way a normal dude who wants his dad's approval, that's an easy win for the dad StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Mar 26, 2024 |

Am I the rear end in a top hat for telling my boyfriend ex wife I won’t babysit her child? quote:I was pretty sure I wasn’t the rear end in a top hat, but now I’m a bit confused. My boyfriend (28,M) and I(27, F) have been together for a while now. He has a daughter and I absolutely love her. She is my best little buddy. This is not who the post is about. My boyfriend’s ex wife (27,F) got pregnant with another “mans” (19, M) baby about 2 or 3 months into them getting married. I have nothing against this baby. I’ve never met her and I know her situation is not her fault. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago. My boyfriends ex wife does not speak to me ever. She has never said hello and has never tried to meet me until now. She reached out to me and asked if we could watch her daughter for a week. This week, we would also have the daughter that my boyfriend and her share. A little surprised by the request I asked her why as she has never asked us to do this before. She said that it is her and her boyfriend (who is the teenager she had an affair with) want to go on a vacation to celebrate their anniversary. I was a little shocked at the request. I asked her if she had spoken to my boyfriend about it and asked why she bypassed him and went right to asking me. She said she already asked him and he immediately said no. I told her, well, there’s your answer. She was furious. She said I have no reason to have anything against her and my boyfriend should be over it by now. She also called us bitter assholes and said that there is no reason we should take our frustrations out on a child, which I didn’t think we did. I am always willing to take care of my boyfriend’s daughter. I’m not sure why my boyfriend and I should be expected to take care of anyone else’s child. The second child is not my boyfriends. My boyfriend also has never met this child. To me, and him, it seemed like too big of a request. My boyfriends parents say we should do it for the sake of my boyfriends daughter so they can spend more time together. They said we were being too harsh by saying no immediately. I really don’t think we’re in the wrong, but his parents have me second guessing it. AITAH?

Shanghaied posted:WIBTA if i didnt move into a shithole house my bf and his dad want to flip? You can make money fixing up trashed houses, but you need to know what you are doing and/or have a crew you can call on for the work you can't do. These people sound like the types who watched too much TV and went "It looks so easy! Just a little paint, some cheap cabinets, and we double our money!" It's a lot of hard, dirty work. e: And don't forget having cash reserves on hand for anything major. Anything involving excavating, sewer/septic work, or concrete can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. The_Franz fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Mar 26, 2024 |

Nah, just pull it up on YouTube and go to the home Depot and just follow the video. Any body can do it. I am very smart. Ever seen the movie Mouse Trap?

If the family really had the skills to fix up a house I still don't see why they wouldn't just live in the fixed up house. Instead the plan is that they are going to move out of the rental into the run down house to fix it up, and then flip it, and then what? Buy another house to flip?

Mouse hunt is a great guide to how to renovate a house after accendentally launching your father's corpse into a sewer and losing your restaurant when the Mayor fatally chokes to death on a cockroach. It is an unusual children's comedy though.

Yeah that is the plan, but it is totally unrealistic. You *can* actually make money that way if you a) choose your purchases carefully, b) budget appropriately, and c) have the skills and time to put in hours and hours of hard labor.

That's how I took it too. Regardless of the OP, I'm automatically against anyone who makes hazelnut coffee in the cumulative pot. I can't imagine that going over well at any place I've worked, that's like the most controversial coffee flavor, and it's so pervasive even if it doesn't give you migraines or anything.

wizardofloneliness posted:"We are in the same building, but he has a window and his car does not have rust." I interpreted that to mean "We work in the same building, but he (or his department) is important enough to have a window in his office while I don't, and he drives much nicer car than me". It's irrelevant to the story, but I think she's just saying he's higher ranked and paid than her even though he's younger, just in a weird way.

It was just like she could not understand that I needed help that her perfect school experience wasn't giving me and was actively harming me.)

AITA for expecting a 24 year old to prioritize her health irrespective of what others say?quote:My (26) girlfriend (24) has this disease, sort of. She has low fat because her body can not store fat, low blood pressure, low glucose and even in warm temperatures she is cold. Her mother and grandma has the same illness. She is not bedridden or anything. As long as she keeps warm and eats about 5 to 6 times a day, she is fine. She weighs 120 pounds so obviously the eating is not a problem. She can finish a full 3 course meal and her tommy will still be as flat as before. You will not even know she is ill by just looking at her. She is beautiful, smart and lives a full life. OP and his whole lovely family need to be cooked alive in a vat of boiling sugar. Imagine being hounded to work for free at a wedding that you didn't want to go to in the first place, not even allowed to attend the ceremony, getting no help from your lovely BF, being scolded for abandoning your "post" and being unhealthy when you tried to get some food, and collapsing and becoming hospitalised for severe hypoglycaemic shock, and on top of this being loving blamed for your own loving hospitalisation - "why doesn't she just ignore our constant browbeating????" It's not like confusion is a common symptom of hypoglycaemia or anything. Jfc.
