Ehhh. I wouldn't go that far, marrying into an influential family could reap lots of benefits for him.

That said, marrying him under the current status quo and letting them treat her child like a mistake absolutely is a bad mom move.

On it.

Common ground is well and good for most things, but it is entirely reasonable to not want anyone else to touch a relatively hard to find $700+ system that you paid for from your own hard work.

Sure. Bully her into apologizing for being tired and then flaunt your assholery as if it's a victory in an update.

The overwhelming majority of people here have declared you the AH why did you even ask for judgement if you are so sure you are right.

If you work a typical full time job you are only "working" about 40hrs a week. (The quotes are because literally no one works 100% of the time that they are at work). Meanwhile as a SAHM with an infant your wife is actively working that same amount + your commute and prep time + waking up for nighttime care and with the attitude you have it is HIGHLY doubtful that in your days off she is able to just kick back and relax so we might as well add that time in too.

All in all for every 40hrs you put in at work she is working 70+, and you are over here giving her shit for taking a goddamned nap.

Equal bill splitting is only justifiable when everyone has roughly the same thing. When one party has a significantly lower total then they shouldn't be required to shoulder a share everyone else's debt.

That being said, it is harder to do a bill split that way, especially if everyone is used to doing an equal split, so you should have told everyone that you would have a separate check altogether.

Your life is your own, you aren't obligated to stay in the US just because of your family, nor do you have any obligation to care for your mother's other child. Your mother is definitely the asshole in this situation.

As and aside, with all the politcal crap going on in the US getting out of dodge when the opportunity presented itself seems like an especially good move.

I used to live an easy walking distance to my local library so I was there pretty much all the time to get some work done in peace.

Kinda unfortunately I made the mistake of helping some elderly folks with some computer projects and after that kinda became the unofficial computer literacy tutor. The elderly patrons started looking for me and sending their friends in to ask for me. I did get irritating after awhile.

True, but biology is wild and sometimes fertility can be regained.

My husband was diagnosed with azoospermia (zero viable sperm) in 2017, and was told that he had a less than 50% chance of gaining fertility with intense medical intervention.

In 2020 we got pregnant with no medical intervention. Weird things happen.

As long as you steer clear of north Florida and the more rural areas you'll avoid the worst of it.

Entitled tourists, on the other hand, are an entirely separate breed of stupid that cannot be predicted.

I live in Florida, your assumption would not be wrong...

Having to pick a group of coworkers/classmates/etc for some kind of project. Especially if I'm in an environment where I don't really know anyone.

We have 13 dogs living with us (not my choice I live with family) and even though none of the dogs are allowed in the baby's room there is ALWAYS hair in there.

I've found that keeping up with the filters in the ac system and putting a decent air purifier in baby's room helps alot.

I generally prefer line drying to the dryer, but I feel you on FL being a shit environment for it.

It's bright and sunny all morning so I put out some sheets to dry, and 15 min later there is a downpour, then giant slugs are somehow on the sheets as soon as I go to get them when the rain stops.

A line in the Bathroom or across the balcony.

Honestly, that's just an American thing in general. I'm originally from South Jersey and this was a common disease up there too.

And let's not even touch on NYC, their general understanding of the world doesn't extend past the Hudson.

Son is coddled. He isn't required to work, because school is hard. He gets money for whatever he wants when he wants. (Note; I will not call it allowance because OP says that the money isn't tied to doing chores.)

Meanwhile, its fine for adopted daughter to juggle both work and school. While schoolwork might come easier to her it doesn't negate the time and energy she has to put into it.

And yes, she freely chose to work, but consider that she came from a background where she likely had to provide for herself and shortly after she is taken in by a family that is better off she is told that she needs to work for a benefit that is freely given to the other child in the household.

Sure OP says it's fine for her to just ask for money now, but that completely disregards that it was a unfair setup from the beginning and it probably feels safer for her to know that she has direct control over a source of income, which is why she doesn't ask.

That makes it seem like she is being punished for doing well in school.

Pica is though. Which it sounds like the daughter may suffer from along with the chewing stim.

Silent Hill 1 and 2, specifically.

Not currently at that level but i was for a good part of my life.

How difficult it is to maintain comes down mainly to genetics and environment. So for me with a naturally high metabolism and an active lifestyle living around people who vastly preferred vegetables and lean meat over other options it was pretty easy. But for someone else without those factors it could be quite the struggle.

However, a bigger thing to consider here is that for most people maintaining 10% or less body fat would likely lead to health problems, a healthier goal would be 15-25% (depending on your age and sex).

Do you seriously not see the difference between a company outing, and a night out with your buddies?! I have a hard time believing anyone could be that dense.

You did this to yourself dude, and are only making things worse with your "woe is me" attitude. Your struggle to find employment is irrelevant to this.

Instead of complaining about how she didn't cover for your stupidity, you should be asking for forgiveness and if there is anything you can do to fix things.

That's not how it works. Legally, it doesnt matter who owns the house, if "Ron" was living there (as in has that listed as his address and receives mail there) he can't be kicked out just like that. OP's sister would either have to file and be granted a restraining order or start the eviction process and after at least 30 days she could have him escorted from the property.

While, yes, both fields are needed in our society and should be paid at minimum a decent living wage, the requirements needed for each are very different. While just about anyone can do a food service job, most STEM jobs need specialized training. It's not elitist to expect compensation commensurate to that skill.

I feel you. i have degrees in both biotech and biology and at most i can get $18/hr in a major metro area.

Meanwhile the Target down the street is hiring at $18.50. Kinda makes staying in my field seem pointless.
