Oil change VW Golf

I am looking for independent shop that does oil change for 2020 Golf GTI.
I didn’t want to go to steve hahns due to bad experience so wondering if there are decent shops that do it or a mobile mechanic that could come home to do it.
I was thinking of Jiffy Lube, valvoline.. thoughts?

What to say when nurses or staff say “ That’s why you get paid the big bucks!”

It irks me they try to throw responsibilities which are not even yours or is related to other teams or specialists. Then when you state to them it should be addressed to someone else.
They said this.
Like how do you guys reply to that?

Wife does not want money from me despite being jobless.

Hi
Me and my wife have been together for 4 years and married 2 years in that time.
I had a brief conversation about doing a pre nup and i instantly regretted making that suggestion right after. The reason i did that was because i came from bad divorce and had to shell out whatever savings i had.
But my current wife took this the wrong way and told me she would never take my money or use my money ever.
This was before marriage.
Fast forward now, my wife currently does not have a job and is looking around and has been home for more than 6 months. She hesitates to ask me for money for her small expenses or something that needs to be paid through her account.
She had had multiple episodes with me on her crying and stressing about asking me money because of the pre nup convo and how she had promised she would never ask me for money.
I since that time have changed my ways and how I approach money with her. I do not taunt her or make any comments regarding her asking for money. She is the primary beneficiary on all my accounts , she is aware of that.

She states she can never get it out of her head about what i had said about the pre nup and that’s why she feels anxious and stressed asking me for money which again is causing more stress in job hunt situation as she desperately wants to earn her own money.

I am looking for advice how to handle this situation? How to reassure her? How to alleviate this anxiety?

Tldr- wife doesn’t want money from me while she is jobless ever since pre nup convo with me before marriage when she promised she will never ask me for money.

Mother expects me to pay monthly for my brother’s expenses

Hi everyone
Not sure if this is the right . I am trying to see if i was an AH here.
So my younger brother is 15 yrs younger. I love him and he is dear to me.
Ever since i had a job, I have been paying for something or the other. Before college, i would buy him toys, clothes, shoes or whatever he asked or wanted.
He is not spoilt by any means. He is humble and rarely asks for something himself.
I had kinda made it a point to help him during college for his monthly expenses like eating or hanging out with friends etc since last 4 years.
He just graduated and currently doesn’t go to college anymore and is waiting for masters to start this fall.
I haven’t paid him anything since April since he finished up college in May. My mom just asked me why i stopped paying him and how i should pay him till fall.
She also compared me with my other cousin who pays his sister who is only 5 yrs younger.
I tried to tell her that i was only helping him till college and now since he is done, he doesn’t need it.
My mom comments about me paying him even now and expect to keep paying him stating he is my younger brother someone rubbed me the wrong way.

Am i reacting too much about this situation? I mean i will still pay him, but like when does it stop?
She says he doesn’t have a job yet.. so i should continue to support him.
But my parents are doing well. Paid off home. Dad still works but will probably cut back.
I don’t know how to navigate this..
