Yes! Thank you!

Pillow

Is owning a duvet in general an example of middle class? I had to google the definition of duvet just now

My favorite when I was a kid was a plastic mini golf club and balls. A little raised bowl the putt into

NTA

He’s blackmailing you. Don’t give him the keys and get some legal help. Let the rest of the extend family know about this and try to shame him with the drama.

(Edit to include nta)

ETAH until the topic is brought up in a conversation. I would talk to the acquaintance about it.

“Hey friend, I recently got let go from employment and I am really tight on money. I was showing you around instead of job seeking because I really wanted to share my hometown with you. But financially I was expecting you to pay for your meals.

Don’t worry about transportation costs while you are with me, I got that. But can you please pay me back for the meals and activities?”

Something like that

I think “common household items” have changed. Or maybe it’s a regional thing. Is sifter a brand name, or a baking sifter? I would have looked it up too.

Also in Walmart and other superstore chains, locations of items often change for many reasons. The apps the employees have on their phones tell you which isle it is on.

And maybe they can’t walk you a few feet. Maybe their “station” or assigned role is to stay in the produce section. Or stay near the doors to greet people.

Times are changing unfortunately. Household items and customer service is changing too. I would saw dawn soap is a household item.

Employee turnover for minimum wage is probably so high, they can’t memorize all the item locations in training.

I think it is weird seeing as you have not been to church yet. How are anyone’s records loved that fast?

Every ward I’ve moved to or moved into, records change takes a month or so!

It’s the bikers fault

My 2 year old sometimes gets mad about this too. I often ask her to help daddy change the diaper. She likes to grab a wipe out of the dispenser, help put a little aquafor or ointment on afterwords. Then she likes to do buttons on onesies or pull pants up herself.

She likes to be helpful

Hang in there OP. You are in the trenches but it eventually gets better. (At least that’s what everyone keeps saying)

What part of the country are you in? I find that areas with lakes, hiking or walking trails help a lot. Bigger siblings can adventure and littles can splash in the shallows or dig in the sandbank

The matrix

Anyone else think this was about a gun?

Get doggie poop bags and put a roll in each vehicle and one roll in the diaper bag. There is a little bit of public shame when disposing of poopy diaper, due to the smell.

Put the poopy diaper in the poop bag, then tie it off. Now it can be disposed of in any trash can with minimal smell.

UpdateMe!

Mud Bogging or other vehicle activities where you are pouring money into a vehicle you intend to take into a dangerous road/track.

ie: spending three or four weekends and thousands of dollars repairing axels just to break it while driving through mud

Have you tried putting a limitation on their reasonings? “You have 3 attempts to convince me you shouldn’t have to clean this up. If you can’t, you will pick it up.”

Did anyone else read this as “one day he started hitting ON me during class” instead of “hitting me during class”?

I mis read it, but then when he actually hit her which teacher watching…I had to double take. That escalated quickly lol

Go check out some local churches. Religion is a great way to build community and feel loved
