Are these OK to ride in?

I'm new to riding and looking to get my first pair of high boots. I've been wearing jodhpur boots up until now. However, I don't want to spend hundreds. I found these online for about £40 and wondered if they would be any good. They are not advertised as riding boots but they look like they should work.

How do I relax in the saddle?

I’m new to horse riding and my instructor keeps telling me to relax and be floppy in the saddle. But at the same time I need to sit bolt upright.

I also need to let my arms go floppy and relax my hands but at the same time keep an engage rein put pressure though the rein.

I need to relax my legs and not put pressure in my feet but at the same time push my heels down.

It all seems such a contradiction.

AITAH for telling my mum to use the wheelchair or stop complaining.

My mum in her 60s has hip and spine issues. It stared about ten years ago and has got progressively worse. It is at the stage now where she should be using a wheelchair. Even the doctors have told her to use a wheelchair. I have even offered to buy her a motorised wheelchair. But she is stubborn and refuses, instead she uses a walker.

Thing is she is constantly complaining about how much it hurts to walk and how difficult it is to get around. During one of these complaining sessions I snapped and said “you are doing this to yourself, everyone has told you to use a wheelchair, I offered to buy you one, so either use the wheelchair or stop complaining.” My brother thinks I was too harsh but after years of listening to this I have had enough. I get it must be hard to admit that you now need a wheelchair but after years of being in pain she is just doing this to herself.

How can someone have a 22 win streak in PvP but still be silver.

I was paying PvP the other day and came against someone with a 22 win streak but they were only silver 3. How is that possible surely a 22 win streak would put you up in to the next tier. Is there some kind of exploit I don’t know about are people purposely not going up tiers so they can dominant.

Roads have destroyed my paintwork

The roads where I live are truly terrible. The road leading to my home is where potholes come to meet other potholes, so they can have baby potholes. Due to the amount of loose rubble on these roads they have managed to destroy the paintwork on the front of my car in just 6 months. My car has so many small chips it’s ridiculous.

I try driving slow, avoiding the potholes. But on windy days there is nothing I can do.

Was washing my car today and wanted to rant.
