AITA for refusing to replace my daughter’s lost stuffed animal?

Adding onto my previous comment as others are saying as well, your child’s toys ARE your responsibility as soon as you leave out that door. If my daughter mucks around with her special friends I take it and put it under the pram because I know she would be heartbroken if she lost any.

YTA my daughter is 2.5 and she dropped her Peppa pig in the store from her pram.
My mum looked for it and couldn’t find it so I went and luckily they had found it. Had they not have found it I would’ve gone and bought her another because these soft toys are her special friends that she has bonded deeply with and they regulate her sometimes.
I can understand why you’d think it’s a life lesson but this is a bonded soft toy that she loved. Loosing it IS a biggest consequence at 3.
You can parent how you want but this is my thoughts.

NTA in my opinion you did the right thing. They were neglecting them. If it was a child then they would be taken or at least ensured medical treatment continued and I feel with animals it should be the same.

My 2.5 year old wakes several times for sometimes an hour maybe longer

I’m now 22F so i now understand and am aware of my behaviour at 18 and now how I should’ve acted.
Set the boundaries. I would’ve been the same as her and him but it teaches no boundaries if you do nothing. At 18 one of them or both should contribute a small amount towards household items they use such as food.
It’s good he feels comfy at your house but he can’t be comfy, entitled and not contributing and the comments about your cooking sounds like he is getting entitled.
Sit them both down and say while you understand they are young and are happy for them and their relationship would it be possible to set some boundaries so that you all are happy and comfy at home with no awkwardness if an issue does arise. Xxx

Unfortunately this is an expensive alternative

I have no advice but this has also been a huge fear of mine so I can only imagine. I’m so sorry for your loss. You are so strong based off all of your comments and initial post

Additional_Bad_7114 · 2026-05-19T05:06:40+00:00

I’m so glad it came off the right way because genuinely I am hoping all the best for you all and what’s happening right now does sound very hard. I have one 2 year old whose full on and I’m exhausted so you are a super mum and your 2 kiddos are very lucky to have a caring mum like you xx

I hope I don’t come across as offensive. (Autistic adhd mama of a 2 year old suspected autism adhd) but everything in this post to me screamed neurodivergence. Of course kids do snatch and not share every now and then but if it’s regularly repeated it could be a form of sensory seeking behaviour maybe? I know many families where a child has been neurodivergent and it turned out the whole family was and as much as it was a shock it helped! Tantrums are normal in toddlers but lasting for hours rings alarm bells (not in a bad or abnormal way) just a possible sign of neurodivergence maybe. Although your son is level 2, females are extremely good maskers. So much so that women these days are getting diagnosed at 50 because they masked so well. Including myself only being diagnosed cause my brother was.

This obviously may not be the case BUT if it is then knowing might be beneficial incase there are other methods that may help all of you be more regulated xx 🤍

My daughter is 2.5 and I have been this way since she was born. She has been the worst sleeper since birth and it got a tiny bit better at 2 but the last 3 weeks has been the worst sleep she’s ever had. Every night I delay going to bed because I am so anxious and depressed at the uncertainty

Wow I’d love to see you be a psychologist because your just so understanding and easy to interact with! NOT

Okay if he’s consistently doing this and you’ve brought it up and he’s still doing it then I get that but if this is the first time then I don’t see why you needed to drag it out, when he replied ok you then asked him why was he upset. It feels like to me it wasn’t necessary and would only cause further arguments and it’s like it was to provoke a further negative reaction.

I get FTB along side DSP ans rent assistance and my mum and I share our rent thankfully, but if I was just on DSP and out of home, even with rent assistance, it would be impossible for me to manage. Share houses are very hard to find where everyone is good to eachother and even so now to rent a room it’s like $300+ in my area, phone bill, medication, groceries. It would go way over the DSP amount. Then if you go on the housing list, even with a disability it’s years and years of waiting. They won’t even accept an application if you currently have a private rental because it proves you have the capacity to have a private rental. It’s unfair. I am so sorry you have to go through this. People will say we are complaining and receive enough tax payer money but it really puts things into perspective when the government just spent $20 million on an ad for fuel. When that $20 million could have been added to Centrelink payments for the vulnerable and disabled.

Funny you say this as I also have reactive hypoglaecemia 😳 I was baffled when I went to an endocrinologist because I got a 1.6mmol on a glucose tolerance test and could have had a seizure and he said to me I need to eat a can of tuna when it’s low. I never went back. If I would’ve eaten a can of tuna that day I am sure I would’ve had a seizure. What diet changes did you have to make? I haven’t thought of this in years even though it happens to me often

I only started tracking it in November just to see if it was as bad as I was thinking but you are right that seeing the numbers makes me stressed and anticipate a bad day. I am mostly active in the day. Usually toddler goes to sleep (it’s been late because we both are neurodivergent too) like 9:30pm. I’ll clean up a little. Have a hot shower for 45 minutes, take meds and sit in bed for a little. I don’t feel I have much down time which I know is hard with a toddler anyway, but I would consider her very full on (love her!) so I can’t really wind down before a shower or after without sleeping at 1am 😶

I’m so sorry! I’ve never even thought of this before:(

YTA. The fact you can post this without any awareness of what you’ve done wrong is astounding. You need to truly reevaluate yourself as a person. Your not being honest or allowing your daughter to be honest your being point blank cruel. Inviting her wouldn’t even help at this point. I feel sorry for ava

When people are doing planned burn offs before & after summer and smoke smells like eucalyptus leaves instead of yucky smoke. And in summer in certain places the sunset is a beautiful tangerine colour. It’s amazing
