It is as there twenty years ago when I worked there. Very distinctly remember Rick bringing it up when they were getting ready to expand.

Maybe you’re just being an ass? I don’t have a dog in OP’s fight and left my opinion. Wish Alamo all the best, but the local management team failed to live up to the experiences we had living in Austin since 2015. I know y’all are new to Alamo and are super proud to have one, but it’s okay to accept that the humans working there can make mistakes.

We showed them a screenshot with “all ages” on the reservation my wife made. I have no reason to lie and they wasted my PTO. Just remarking about a negative experience I had before we could even be seated.
I think it’s hilarious that y’all think this middle-aged accountant is part of some conspiracy to smear the Alamo and not just a dude who had a disappointed kid on his birthday a year ago. Like can’t you folks hear a tiny bit of criticism without going all tinfoil hat on me? No wonder Springfield is so fucking backwards.
Just saw the notification about this thread and wanted to remark on my experience. Working remotely for an Austin-based company on a Sunday… it’s not like I’m well-connected in this area. But cool, you all can be drama mamas and call a stranger a liar instead of accept that maybe a company made a mistake that left such a bad taste that I’d comment about it a year later.

No, he was turning five. We’ve had no problems with Alamo in TX and understand the policies. I read quasi-governmental regulation on a daily basis, but sure, assume I don’t know what I’m talking about and the managers at this location aren’t just giddy over their awesome movie theater power.

We lived in Austin and loved going to the Alamo. Have one child with autism, so can empathize there. However, this location goes beyond the typical Alamo rules. Took our youngest (neurotypical) to see a supposedly all ages show on his birthday and used PTO to do so. Got there and they wouldn’t let him in due to his age. Their management never had a good explanation for not letting us in and it was the first time I’d brought a kid to this location. I don’t know what the story is with these folks and don’t care, but I also don’t trust this location to not waste my time.
Long story short: will be fine staying at home and watching a movie a few months later not to deal with the Springfield Alamo’s hassle. Their management seems to be a bit on the asinine side.

Yes! We heard a ton of pops, first. It almost sounded like gunfire, but more like fireworks when I opened the back door. Closed it and a few minutes later watched the sky light up; a few seconds later it shook our windows. Someone’s fireworks cache go up?

Plenty of people “raised right” who can’t keep their homes clean and plenty who weren’t who do. Have a high internal locus of control and realize you’re responsible for yourself, your girlfriend, and for the living beings currently in your home (and any babies you may have going forward). You both can do this.
In your shoes, I’d rehome the cats immediately. It’s not fair to them and you’ll never get your house clean with them there. They’re also an expense you can’t afford and remind yourself of that. Make things easier on yourself by saying you need to learn to be capable on your own before you take responsibility for other creatures. Pare them down to one.
Instead of buying a vacuum now, could you borrow one from family or friends? “Ours is broken” is an innocent enough lie for now. Save up, buy one on Black Friday if you can. Read reviews and don’t just buy the cheapest thing; get something that will last and won’t be a killer for maintenance. Reusable filters are great. Use the remainder towards cleaning supplies and repair work. If you borrow a vacuum, you force yourself to clean it when you’re done and return it. You’re adding a modicum of responsibility to this situation. If someone asks you what either of you want for Christmas, admit you’re saving up to replace your vacuum and would like to get a carpet cleaner down the road. You’re eying ____ model at ____ store and gift cards would be great.
Easiest way to keep on top of this is just to start. Throw stuff away. “I might get to this later” or “I might want this later” aren’t good excuses. Get stuff out of there, get the house manageable, and you’ll find it easier. Effort begets ease.
You two can do this. You’re young, so consider how she approaches this too. If you both aren’t pulling equally then that’s something to consider. Make good choices now as it’s harder to down the road, trust me on this. You both getting on the same page now will make for an easier life when you’re older. You’re definitely at that spot where you can make the choice on how you want your life to go.

This didn’t kick it off, but sure! There’s been plenty of times they hadn’t put their best foot forward.
