  • Family stuff like this is often tricky. If you’re going to start a conversation about it, I would frame it as you want to put your best foot forward and come across the way she wants you to, and that you’re looking for clarification on how to best do that. I would write down a few specific examples in advance that you can point to while unpacking them together so you can avoid generalizations which would just derail the conversation and start a fight.

    Stay far away from the word nagging lol 😂

    Good luck! 🤞


  • Imo: just getting new ideas for ways to reduce/consolidate the number of things I have to carry every day. I switched from a regular wallet to an ultralight wallet (Ridge, but there are much cheaper alternatives) and it has been helping out my back a lot. It’s also nice to get recommendations for multi-tools and stuff.

    I only everyday carry my phone, car keys, apt keys, and wallet, and I often leave my apt keys locked in my car so I have one fewer thing to carry.

    I agree that I think it is fine to speak one’s thoughts aloud, but since most(?) people have negative reactions to it I do consider it a bad habit. Fortunately no one has reacted to me doing it as strongly as your step mom to you! Sorry you had to go through that.
