Oh god my mom says this all the fucking time. I help my old babysitter the most, whenever I can, because even throughout my parents divorce, and without pay, she kept taking care of my sisters and I. Even though she was extremely poor and working another job. My moms just outright abusive.
Democrats are practically shoving the voting base towards trump. Their whole selling point is “saving the system that’s starving you”.
Trump promised to destroy it, and destroy it he will. Not for us of course.
Same thing happened in 1930s Germany. Nornal parties were just gonna keep things going, while people had to use wheelbarrows of cash to buy a loaf and Hitler promised to destroy it all and make Germany the greatest its ever been.
I wish I could be paid in more than not being yelled at for a while
Honestly ive helped so much ive been completely cemented in everyone’s mind as a generalist. I worked IT at a computer shop, even doing logic board level rework, fixing iPad and iPhone screens, cameras and ports, I woodwork so I can fix, put together and install most furniture kits, and make some original stuff, with that you become generally handy so ive done basic electrical and appliance repair (fixed the dishwasher, vacuum cleaner and some smaller things) and even some light plumbing when fixing toilets and sinks and leaks.
“Good workers are rewarded with more work” right?😭
She never taught me to tie my shoes. I didnt know until I was like 15.
Both my mom and dad were workaholics, and my babysitter was a far closer parent than they were
This happens every time I go outside without a coat during winter. If I’m going to the grocery store, and I’m only outside for 60 seconds, I dont need a coat. Obviously if I was going on a hike then I’d need it.
Where’d this myth even come from about cold causing colds? Its even in the name! I can’t imagine how many hours of pointless arguing occurred between parents and children because of it
She’s smart enough to have a financial advisor, and honestly they’re the reason she has as much wealth as she does. Other than that she is kind of a corpse. Shell lie in bed for days at a time, her screen time is often around 18-22 hours per day.
My mom signs up for a lot of sketchy shit and has been pwned like 30 times across her emails.
My main problem is that she is CONSTANTLY changing passwords. I try to teach her how to use her passwords manager, and have a printout in the vault, but she is too lazy to get the password, and type it in. She is too lazy to even track the new password she makes.
Ugh I hate whenever something goes wrong the blame is always placed on the last guy who worked on it. If you ever build a PC for someone, you better believe you are gonna be tech support for that thing FOREVER.
I’d understand if you had issues immediately, or days after, but if its been weeks, months or even years? Gtfo. Thats longer than most free warranties.

Is it yummy?
I dont feel like government forms and taxes are any more intuitive.
Honestly even though she is pretty abusive, she’s told me that I’m the sole beneficiary in he trust. My sisters went no contact and she’s divorced.
With how much money she has, and how easily she gets hacked and scammed, I dont trust using single passwords. She also makes accounts for EVERYTHING. She even had an account for a fucking calculator. With the variety of stuff she makes accounts for, I wouldn’t trust a single password.
I live I a place with crazy high rents and my only other option would be homelessness. Im still in training/education, and if I had to stop, id never be able to get better paying job and I’d be a wageslave the rest of my life.
Honestly we are relatively upperclass, and after some financial lessons I realize its so fucking expensive to be poor.
I dont really get what this has to do with capitalism. They could also reciprocate in a capitalist society but don’t? They don’t need communism to bake some cookies or serve a meal. Just anything to make it worth my time
Again, she has trouble keeping track of things. Ive given her a printout with her passwords and she loses the paper, and doesnt know how to print it, or is straight up too lazy to type in a long complicated password, so she just makes a new random one.
She can’t even keep track of the new passwords she makes, so I dont think this would make a very big difference
Having me put in as her caretaker might be a really good idea. I do basically everything, and soon I’ll be doing all of the driving, since her own ability is highly diminished. She is a total control freak. Even though I have been living here for like 3 years, and cooking everything, she still doesn’t let me organize the kitchen the way I’d like to. She has so much random crap that she puts everywhere. We have a dozen pots and pans but only use 3. She also buys EVERYTHING in bulk, so there is always so much shit everywhere. BUYING 100 ROLLS OF TOILET PAPER DOESN’T SAVE THAT MUCH MONEY.
She also loves to collect tons of free food from pantry’s and stuff them into the fridge or home pantry as if it’s a bottomless pit. She always thinks “more food, more better” but it just leads to ingredients that I never use cause its 2feet behind tons of random shit. Sorry for the rant. I need it.
I’m also a “handyman” and that also hurts so much. Generally whenever something is broken I do a little research and try to fix it. This works like 70% of the time, so ive learned how to do a lot of stuff. Fixing sinks, toilets, broken furniture, fixing vacuum cleaners and various appliances, etc.
What’s that phrase? “Being good at your jobs gets you rewarded with more work”?
I gave a sharpening presentation to my local guild of woodworkers.
