Unfortunately, the reality is that good intentions don't always result in logically sound actions. Like, for instance, you have someone purchasing their friend a cat. While that's a nice enough gesture, it's also just setting that same friend up for having to deal with a whole lot of extra work. Hopefully none of these moments strike any chords with your own life situation.

    Font - veratia0011 · 3d My dad tried to get me to go to a local community college. I was an excellent high school student with a GPA in the top 1% of my class, and I had ambitions of going to an out of state 4 year university. He wanted me to forego my dreams in favor of staying close to home and close to family. I love him, but I am so, so glad I didn't listen to him back then. I got a full tuition scholarship to a great university, and now I'm across the country from my home state attending me

    Font - silentknight111 · 3d Told me to go to college completely paid for by student loans, because "the extra money you will make with the degree will make up for the cost". They truly believed that's how it would go, but now I have 90k in student debt (and that's after paying it down for 15 years) G Reply 1 15 3 ...

    Font - Doubt-Grouchy · 3d For a period of 3 months in 2016 I worked a 40+ hour week graveyard shift job while living at home, which my parents offered to let me do in order to save money. My mom would regularly break into my room regardless if l'd caught any sleep or not and yell at me to help her with tasks around the house because she "wasn't doing me any favors by allowing me to be lazy" and because "I was young and could handle it". I wound up getting the flu and not recovering for 3 weeks b

    Font - pearlie_girl · 3d My mom insisted we paint the baby's nursery. I thought it was fine, but nope, we have to go pick out paint, because baby girl can't have a blue room. She paints half the room, gets paint all over my wood trim (dear God - it stripped the finish to take it off) then didn't even finish the room. I had to finish painting it myself, the baby was 5 weeks old. 6 Reply 4 100 3 ...

    Font - MoistTractofLand · 3d My friend/roommate and his girlfriend were kind enough to throw me a surprise party. I don't really celebrate my birthday and I REALLY don't like being the center of attention. I appreciate the intention and the effort they put in to it, but it's a little frustrating to have stated that I don't want to celebrate and have someone do it anyway. G Reply 1 165 3
