My sister has always been very [IMO ]entitled. She would save her money for herself but ask my dad for money for things she needed. He would pay for her trip’s flights but she wouldn’t even get him a birthday gift because she “didn’t have money”. Growing up she often bailed from chores it was always me doing everything because I cared to help my dad and she didn’t want to have to do it.

Now she’s in her 30’s, married with a 2 year old and another on the way. She consistently asks my dad for money, but seems to have it for other things. EX: her and her husband go on date nights, goes out for food, buys clothes, gets regular pedicures etc. they also own 2 condos (investments) and she has a decent savings from all the money they got as gifts from the wedding. Yet, she asks him for money or to buy her things she needs. I asked her about the savings and she said “that money is for us”. My dad is feeling the lack of appreciation and entitlement. But he doesn’t want the conflict so he doesn’t say anything to her. Lately he has not been in a good place with money due to some unexpected situations and yet she still asks knowing this.

She also has anger toward him and our step mom when they’re out there living their lives. When they make plans with friends or go on trips she’s always upset. “They always go away” “they are always out” and she’ll complain when that takes away from potential babysitting time. They baby sit once a week overnight sometimes more and generally also have family Sunday dinner. Still, my sister says they don’t do enough to spend time with them and will ice them out for being busy. The babysitting thing makes no sense to me because her husband also gets to stay home 8 months with her when the new baby comes (he got to do this last time as well) full pay, and that in my opinion is way more help than anyone I know has ever had.

My dad and step mom are going away for 2 nights (3 hour drive) to a concert they booked several months ago. It was a Father’s Day gift. She is angry because this is 2 weeks before her due date. They have said they would take their daughter when she goes into labor. They asked I be the back up just in case baby comes early and they are not back in time. My sister is very upset by all this and has told them they are inconsiderate. She’s also pissed off that my step mom is getting a breast reduction near her due date. An appointment she’s been trying to get for a very long time. She said “this is an elective surgery and she had to do it at this time when I need their help”.

She always calls friends and family to vent about it and try to feel validated. If I don’t agree with her she will get mad and hang up. I just don’t agree that any of this stuff is that serious? I said I can understand wanting it another way but to villainize them and punish is bizarre. Am I wrong? am I the asshole for telling her she’s wrong and thinking she’s a narcissist that thinks we all live for her and it’s her world???

I am someone used to buying the trendy clothes like dfyne, gymshark, the whole 9 yards. i know my lululemon aligns and tna butter biker shorts are working ok for now but when the bump REALLY grows what is working for everyone? hopefully not crazy expensive

Has anyone gotten scammed with a gift card at shoppers drug mart and had success with getting a resolution? Got a lululemon gift card for Christmas and shortly after, it was redeemed online for an order and shipped to Edmonton. Edmonton police couldn’t help. Lululemon basically told me too bad, and shoppers keeps sending me some stupid automated email you can’t reply to and I am losing it. Months of this game.

We have business class tickets from Dublin to Seattle. Trying to decide which lounge will be the best for us! I also have Amex platinum so we really have most options to choose from.

i transferred today and I had no idea i would take a long time as this is my first time transferring. I have a whole flight itinerary chosen. nervous that its not going to happen fast enough for last minute travel. any insights?

I don’t understand how this app works. It told me to place an order and I’d get 5 free items. Now it saying to check in on the app if I wanna get the free items. Is this even gonna happen? Is it all just deceptive lies?

I have points with Aeroplan, westjet, American Express, and avion.

I’ve been trying to research which trip i would have the best chance getting a nice business class seat on with a good points deal. I know the game of transferring to other programs is a think but I also know sometimes award flights are very hard to find.

Any tips or advice? Looking for October / November this year.

I’ve heard the beis ultimate diaper bag was maybe too big and the attached mat wasn’t actually convenient.

Now they have the newer smaller one, the everyday. Having a hard time finding a comparison of this one to the lululemon one. Can anyone chime in?

Looking at Langley, surrey memorial, Royal Columbian. Anything else? What’s your experience?

I have coverage for a private room as well. Just trying to figure out my best options as this is all very new to me. Will be registering to find a midwife asap as well and want to make sure I find one with authority in the hospital I choose.

I know this is highly linked to genetics but I still want to give it my best shot. I saw reviews for the palmers stretch mark lotion but apparently since the formula change there are lots of complaints and I don’t even know anymore what to do.

Can anyone recommend anything tried and true?
