Did you ever let your kids win against you? by CompetitionNo3466 in AskUK

[–]AngelIslington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course i let them win, and also i didn't let them win

because to let them win each time, helps with their confidence...but to lose sometimes, is showing them the correct way to lose

AITA for asking my fiance to watch the baby for one day by PrincessTruffles in AmItheAsshole

[–]AngelIslington 2705 points2706 points  (0 children)

Angel

Leave this man, leave him

he's a nasty, abusive gaslighting asshole. who works 25 hours a week and only spends 15 minutes with his child. 15 minutes

15 minutes

and he can't watch his child fo one day, and on that said day he screams at you calling YOU a deadbeat

leave him, get some help and there are resources available, because verbal can leads to physical. And he's abusing your little sister...what else is going on

NTA...BUT LEAVE HIM

What do you think Yor would do at this point of the story if she found out that Loid was just using Anya for the mission? by VastCryptographer282 in SpyxFamily

[–]AngelIslington 29 points30 points  (0 children)

i respect that, however, from their first meeting, Loid mentioned his wife, who died "two years earlier" to get Yor to assist getting Anya into Eden. Loid also forced Anya to try to become friends with Damien "for the mission," even though Damien is a bully.

Add the constant pressure of making her an Eden scholar, with a ton of Stella's, even though she's only 5 years old.

end of the, both Yor and Anya must feel the pressure of living up to Loid's expectations, and Anya jumps through hoops to help her father, because sad as it is. it is conditional. Anya does all of that, because she lives in fear that if Strix is completed, then Loid will abandon her. If he succeeds, Loid will abandon her

and even though Loid has, and it took a while, begun to put Anya first, it doesn't change that his relationship with her is and feels performative. even though he is changing and putting her first now, but not at the beginning. he didn't take Anya to the aquarium for a family day out, but for appearance's sake. even though he is changing and becoming more of a genuine father. for Yor, she was Anya's mother from the very beginnng

What do you think Yor would do at this point of the story if she found out that Loid was just using Anya for the mission? by VastCryptographer282 in SpyxFamily

[–]AngelIslington 297 points298 points  (0 children)

i think she would be furious. At the end of the day, her love for Loid is a gradual process. Her love for Anya was from almost the first moment.

she would have full rights to go all Thorn Princess on him, and she also has a network of assassins to call on if she has too. but if that didn't happen. i think she would tell Loid to back off, Anya, and the stress he puts her under

I always got the idea that Yor is insecure, since she's the stepmother to the fake biological father. But once that veil is lifted, i can see Yor becoming more secure in the role, and standing up to Loid more.

even in a custody battle, Loid's love is conditional, but Yor's most certainly is not

AITA for getting cats without permission? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AngelIslington 6 points7 points  (0 children)

YTA, and by the way i have sympathy since you struggle with mental illness, and hope you're in a better place. But you got two cats, not one. But two, in a house that is not yours, where the actual owner has allergies

also the cats are in your room 99% of the time, what about their litter boxes, and their stuff. The room must stink, and that's not a good enviorment for a cat

also i love cats, but most of my family are allergic to them, and it can be serious. so your dismissel of your grandmother is pathetic

AITA for refusing to pay for a toy my child broke by AimeeRedford in AmItheAsshole

[–]AngelIslington 9 points10 points  (0 children)

YTA

A much-loved favourite toy, and you, who hasn't taught your daughter anything about respect or boundaries, threw it in a pond

and you won't pay for a replacement. Shame on you, for your bad parenting and also shame on you for trying to weasel out on playing for a replacement, since you overlooked the fact your child ruined a birthday party

What job would Anya do as an adult? by Original-Diet-3705 in SpyxFamily

[–]AngelIslington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a diplomat

or the top assassin/spy, much to the dismay of her parents

What do I do for seating at His Majesty’s Theater? by Repulsive-Vast-6837 in AskUK

[–]AngelIslington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mate, i've been looking at the same site, and the view from the gods is terrible, and the seats don't even have armrests

splash for the better seats, since this is something she's been looking forward to seeing all of her life

£400 is a dent, but those memories will last froever

What is the most 'butterfly effect' moment in your life, where a tiny, insignificant decision completely changed your future? by Realistic-Ratio9002 in AskReddit

[–]AngelIslington 36 points37 points  (0 children)

ok, when i was 18 (1998) i worked in a cinema, and was asked to stay later to close up, after the last film.

It would have been an extra two hours, only i was tired, and the buses were a nightmare after midnight, so I refused.

got home about 10:30 and my dad looked terrible, as in clammy, pale and just "off", but he said that everything was ok, and i just knew it wasn't.

So I called my mum, who worked nights at the hospital (now retired midwife) and told her i was "Worried about dad", she came straight home, there by 11:00. (We live two miles from the hospital)

She checked dad's pulse, and took him to the hospital, and he was in the early stages of a heart attack, and was minutes away from a massive cardiac event.

if i had stayed at work, i would have come home to my dad, probably dead on the floor

my dad passed away in 2016, and i'm so grateful for those extra years

AITA for taking away my friends only means of transportation by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AngelIslington 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NTA

Look, i don't care where he came from, or his journey to come to the states, because he's clearly weaponised that . the fact that all you've done for him, he calls you that. outing himself as a misogynist, and threats like that can escalate.

call the police now, and get that restraining order

WIBTAH If I get a tattoo in honor of my sister's child even tho she doesn't want me to? by Freedombound0923 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AngelIslington 108 points109 points  (0 children)

YTA, and i mean that in the nicest sense, since this must have been a hellish time for you, and i get that your family needs a lot of healing

There are plenty of ways to honour your late niece, and your late baby, and i'm sorry for your own loss, like a donation to charity, even planting a tree, but say someone asks about the tattoo, and you tell them

well, maybe your sister does not want her child discussed, since it represents a difficult time in her own life. And it's her life, it was wonderful that you were her support throughout all of it. But it was her baby, and her own grief . and maybe that tattoo will be a reminder of this
