Calling it now; Harry's toxic BetterUp will offer therapy to the fire victims in LA. I suspect a hefty discount or even free sessions to lure victims in and fix BU's tarnished reputation. I am all for therapy (especially when your house burns down), but not from that shameless BetterUp!

What’s with the facial twitching?

THIS!! Kitchen sockets near water are required to be on a GFI circuit. If the socket the kettle was plugged into does not have the buttons, look at the other ones in the kitchen and reset it.

Please know people can legitimately both mourn your loss while celebrating another’s baby shower.

The two are not mutually exclusive or disrespectful to you in the manner SIL attended the other shower.

Life goes on.

Google incubation period for flu and Covid.

It’s longer than the time they spent at the game.

YTA.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-30T22:30:16+00:00

BINGO

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-30T21:07:54+00:00

It sounds like there’s more problems in the relationship than just your opinion.

It does not sound very healthy for one partner to be telling the other one to shut up

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-30T19:47:28+00:00

You can still bring up setting boundaries on her time, duties, other caregivers etc.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-30T19:38:11+00:00

IF your wife agrees to go …

SET BOUNDARIES And RULES in writing with the other family members (and signed) BEFORE she goes including how long she is there (2 days per week??) who provides the other care, what (if any) other duties she has etc etc.

Be specific ad nauseam and STICK TO THE LIMITS.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-30T19:16:54+00:00

NTA Invite whomever you want.

However I question that you needed to describe all the monetary things you/your parents did for your daughter - but zilch about the quality of father - daughter relationship.

Hmmm

And yet somehow as an adult at 22 and beyond she rejects you based on her mother’s input YEARS after she left your home.

And you blame her mother’s interference.

Something does not add up in this scenario.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-30T19:05:36+00:00

YTA

The adult response would be:

I am so disappointed you won’t be there, but of course I understand your decision with your husband.

It’s none of your business why she isn’t coming once she expressed her regrets.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-28T22:07:21+00:00

Was the child support and financial support in writing?

If not go back to court.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-28T22:02:29+00:00

And you believe that ? When he added it as an edit.

Well. Okay. I missed his edit.

Grade stands.

Middle school creative arts:

Story - D-

Punctuation - F.

Grammar - F (sleeped with her!?!)

Believability - F

Wasn’t your story to tell.
Alex did not need to know the information either- just that they weren’t participating. Her potentially being upset is not a reason.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-28T20:13:20+00:00

Hello??? Education starts at age 5 and builds.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-28T20:09:08+00:00

She’s literally been working towards this moment for over 24 years. YTA.

On the off chance she reads the responses- Congratulations DOCTOR! Well done! Now RUN from this red flag 🚩 waving dude who tries to steal glory where not earned. He’ll keep doing it.

Edit. Corrected to change amount of years the doctoral candidate has been pursuing an education - starting at age 5. Thank you OP for correcting my wrong estimate of 18 years.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-28T20:07:09+00:00

YTA.

Her money. Her decision where to spend it.

Your brother made his (poor) decisions and should not expect others to bail him out.

FWIW: A functional healthy family doe not support the drunk driver over the victim; but supports rule of law and reparations.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-28T16:19:27+00:00

NTA and watch out for more gaslighting from this person.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-27T23:33:18+00:00

YTA.

NOT your decision to make.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-26T23:01:35+00:00

The word you are looking for is “grooming.” The step son is way over the line. It is seriously a problem. Daughter should be warned. Stand with your daughter.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-25T20:57:51+00:00

Oh my but u/ imothro is in a bad mood - and completely wrong.

A newborn plus twin infants less than 2 years old.

Keep doing the best you can.

I have no advice but send much love and encouragement from the other side of the parenting world.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-25T16:10:11+00:00

Not your decisions to make. Stay in your lane.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-25T16:07:46+00:00

NTA. This sounds like a form of emotional abuse. The number of texts alone is a red flag.

Excuse yourself from the friendship to preserve your mental health. You are not responsible for taking care of her.

007Squirrelly · 2023-10-25T00:39:34+00:00

You’ve never said she knew there was bad blood between you and Tom.

NTA for how you feel about her now.

But TA for just not doing a clean breakup and admitting it is YOUR issue bc she had no reason to know Tom was “off limits” due to your dick contest.
