chicken bone nowison

It's actually a test to see if you have what it takes to eat an entire bucket of chicken to the bone

Simply throwing the chicken out and not assuming that it was his neighbours dog wouldve been the respectful thing to do. Passive aggressive behaviour is honestly one of the most obnoxious ways to go about situations. It sucks for everyone.

is this actually turning into a serious discussion over a chicken bone? pt does it again ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)

it's less about the chicken bone and more about human behaviour

i'm not judging him. he's always been passive-aggressive. plus i'm asian so you know that i've been mentally abused by my parents. but that's not important. this chicken bone shit is what's important. the way he responded bugs the shit out of me.

and that was his plan from the get-go ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)

Your dad has hired a witch doctor to curse you thats why he takes it so casually sorry bud

my bad, forgot to pick them up

You guys are assuming this is passive aggressive behavior when it's not. It's a simple message, keep your dogs shit in your own lawn. It's not passive at all. Confrontation is the next step if it continues.

You're acting like some sort of fatherhood martyr here. This is literally the definition of passive aggressiveness. It's one thing if they witnessed their neighbours dog chomping on a chicken bone on their front porch but they didnt, and he moved the litter to another porch without any significant evidence of where it came from.

If it wasn't their dogs bone then they will just assume another dog or animal put it there. It's only passive aggressive if it keeps showing up and he continues to put it on the neighbors step without confronting him about it.

I'm responding because I'm probably one of the only long time home owners on this site who's had to deal with neighbors from an adult perspective in multiple locations. It can get tiring dealing with other peoples shit hounds.

get a room you two ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)

ilu zephyr but just think about how you viewed the world 10 years ago and how much that has changed to this point. you don't think maybe after owning your own home and dealing with the reality of that might change your own views on it in a few years time? calling it martyrdom is kind of a stretch

unless you think you were a genius 10 years ago then you're like nobody I've ever known

How is that even remotly related????

because leaving a chicken bone on someone's doorstep is a

act

have you upset your voodoo practicing neighbors vile?

put some thing on your doorstep at the same exact spot they did. something nasty like used toilet paper. if they take it and replace it, get the fuck out they're committed

or just get a surveillance camera

It could be a jilted significant other. Any chance one of your parents is having an affair?

I understand what you're getting at, the guy is probably under a lot of stress but that doesnt excuse moving garbage from your porch to a neighbours porch.

10 years ago I was curious about how the universe came to be and why we're here, 10 years later I'm still boggled by our existence and I've come to realise that growing up is something that just doesn't happen all of a sudden, growing up takes up your entire life and I highly doubt anyone's ever said "I know exactly what this is." You reach adulthood and still feel like a lost kid inside. You realise your parents arent some all knowing godly figure you once thought they were, they're simply like everyone else on this planet. Everyone's going about life without a clue, our lives are 100% improvised, and most of the shit we do is just a distraction from everything around us. That being said I know I still know next to nothing about life and I'm pretty sure people who are 10 years older than myself are just as lost and confused, taking things one day at a time. Existential rant aside, you're right, the whole martyr thing was a stretch.

Once you have kids you grow up pretty quickly. And no longer get to improvise anything, it's all planned down to the minute now. It's a lot of work :( And I bet your parents know more than you think. It's impossible to understand what your parents went through until you have kids of your own.

Really? My father always says being a parent and the "career" buy a house etcetera etcetera life style was one of the easiest and 'safest' hence why so many people flock to it. He always says my brother who lives a kind of nomadic life(travels works as everything from translator to migrant worker etc) is the roughest.

But my dad is a huge philosopher nut (mostly existentialism) so my upbringing and education wasn't exactly conventional.

do you live in LA?

I'm not talking about career paths, I'm talking about what a person has to become when they have kids. Your life, your choices are all now about your kids and no longer about yourself. The things your parents had to sacrifice to raise you is something you can't understand until you're a parent yourself. Your brother could not have kids and be a good parent doing odd jobs like he is now. You're forced to find secure work and housing.

^ especially on the secure housing lol.

I guess it depends on what you call being a good parent? By like 10 or so I was self estsufficient(excluding financing)and before that my oldest brother was basically like momma goose, at 11 or so he would cook for be and my brothers whenever our parents were gonna be gone for a few nights. I mean I do not know what you call being a good parent. My parents could leave us alone for
days on end and we'd be fine. I guess the first 7-8 years is a sacrifice since they aren't self self sufficieet, but if you really love your kids and such is that really a sacrifice?

My father doesn't he sees it all as a privilege but I guess that's just a difference of outlook.
Also please excuse any shitty writing errors this is all on mobile.

I'm sorry but good parenting doesn't end, ever. I still have my parents in my life to be there for my kids and help make my boys become strong men. I'm sure anyone can "survive" from fairly young as long as someone is paying rent. But I want my kids to thrive even more then I did. And I've been very successful in life.

And yes it is a sacrifice, this just goes to show you still have something to learn about being a parent. I was living life to the fullest before I had kids, so I had to slow down. I really don't expect you to understand until you get to this point, but it sounds like the advice from your parents might not be normal since they left you all to your own devices at such a young age. And I don't think leaving kids under 10 alone for days is good parenting. What if someone got hurt? Choked, burned? If I left my kids on their own and one of them got burned by a pot of boiling water I would consider myself 100% responsible. It sounds like your parents just dropped the ball there, sorry to be blunt.
