I had people over on Friday for an impromptu happy hour. At one point I asked my husband to refill one of our guests' glass. The guest stated, "you know women can do things too." He was absolutely right. I immediately got up and got the refill. My husband rode that one all weekend, he was gleeful.
Parents Spent Their Kid's College Fund
Kayla on Instagram DMs writes: I just found out that the money my grandparents left me has basically been spent. I got into my dream college and was excited to have that financial cushion, but when I asked about it, my parents showed me an “accounting” of how they used it over the years. Turns out all the things they gave me growing up (cheer camp, my senior trip, extracurricular activities, etc) were paid for with my money. They never once told me that’s where the money was coming from and now I only have enough left to cover my first year of school. After that I’ll need to get a job and figure it out on my own. I feel like that money was supposed to be for my future, not for them to use to cover stuff they didn’t want to pay for. Am I wrong to be mad about this? Isn’t it wrong for my parents to have spent money meant for me without asking?
Things People Automated That Totally Changed Their Lives
- “Our dishwasher texts our kids when it’s done, then shuts off their wifi if they don’t empty it.”
- “My alarm stops only if I scan a QR code in my bathroom.”
- “At the same time every year, I tell my bank I lost my credit card so I get issued a new one. All the scammers and subscriptions I signed up to the year prior will automatically get declined, and I only resign up to the ones I actually want.”
- “I made an Apple shortcut that runs once a day automatically that shows me all the photos I took on that day throughout the years. It allows me to slowly clean up all of my photo albums.”
- “I hate doing dishes (no dishwasher) and ALL my lights are smart bulbs. So I tell Alexa, ‘Time to do the dishes,’ and she dims the kitchen to 50% and plays Celtic music so I can pretend to be a Scottish pub owner cleaning up for the night.”
- “I’m sure you mean technology, but I bought 12 pairs of the exact same socks so I never have to match them, and if one gets a hole, I just throw that one out. It’s a very satisfying system.”
- “My iPhone tells my ex to stop texting me if I get a message from him”
- “I hid an Air tag in my car so I never have to remember where I parked. Also helpful if it’s stolen”
