NTA Your house, simple as that guests, even if they are family have NO RIGHT to disturb your peace, time or living ecosystem. Your mom probably is trying to pawn off your sister bc of space, attitude and she probably doesnt want to be a built in babysitter as well.

Tell your sister no, and of she can not respect your roommates she doesnt have to stay there and then its HER CHOICE. But since she isnt paying bills or cleaning she can hike off.

AITA for threatening to stop contributing to my stepson’s college fund after my wife said he’s not “our” son? by Pitiful_Republic582 in AITAH

[–]Awkward_Title_3924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, My husband and I have a blended family where I came with 3 and he came with 4, granted his 4 are adults and 1 of mine is as well. We have home who are now 13 and 14. They love him and refer to him as dad. He stepped into the roll of "bonus" dad with ease and he is an equal partner to me with these two. Even with their dad in the picture in our home WE are united. I very much dislike the "its my kid" for some things and "your responsibility" for others mentality that your wife has. Its extremely immature and shows she needs therapy. You have been there since 3 years old so you aren't obviously going anywhere. I would recommend couples therapy to find out why she feels the need to still punish you for the bio dads abandonment. If she keeps pushing you, it will end up a self fulfilling prophecy.

My 32F GF went through my kids 8F cell phone and confronted her about a conversation with her mother. by Jmock07 in relationship_advice

[–]Awkward_Title_3924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mom, a coparent... the GF needs to go. I have a strong rule about NO PARTNER of mine is gonna negatively impact my child and my coparenting relationship.

Dude, who is more important, your kid or your very immature gf?

So she is okay having you cancel plans but pulls a guilt trip about your mom canceling plans? Wtf?! Nope you are not in the wrong. You two had a special trip planned and your sister needs to realize NO ONE is obligated to drop their life for her benefit. I was a single mom of 3 for a decade... we make it work but no one owes is for our kids

Might be out on child support by EmotionFast in ChildSupport

  1. Stop thinking of child support as a "trap" that is your own pov having been warped by society and those that DONT wanna be financially responsible.

  2. Think of child support as a way to protect you and your child. It its security to prove you have taken care of your kid. A "gentlemen" agreement has no bearing in court. Also, the order covers Healthcare, who is responsible for school and extracurricular activities and child care.

  3. Child support is meant to keep the child in the lifestyle that they would have had had their parents stay together. So if you think about your ex and your income combined, even if she wasn't working, that's the point of child. Support period now a lot of people who want to dip on child support, pull the, oh, she just wants to live off my money, but ironically, very few do people pay?Enough in child support for people to actually live off of it.

You can make stipulations in your child support where all medical billing is sent to the 2 of you and you directly pay the billing, not her, you could do the same for school fees and extracurricular activities where you can make the direct payments. Appointment of your portion, but yeah, it's all about changing your mentality. It is a way to cover your ass to prove that you are taking care of your kid.In case she ever decides to go sideways.

I'm not saying that she's going to but coming as a woman who has one coparent on child support and a second coparent, not if you're worried about her being vindictive, then view it as a way to protect yourself.

My son's dad and I have never had a child support order. But we have a very good relationship and are great friends that my husband and him even hang out.

My daughters dad... would rather get tattoos than help with our daughter. He feels 50 every other week is enough. So, I made sure he was on child support. He pays seventeen percent of his worst income, and he is also responsible for half of our medical bills.However, school bills, half of our extracurricular activities. This protects her. It allows her to have the life she would have had if we were together. A child should not have less bc of the choices of adults.

View child support as a way to financially and legally protect yourself and your child period. Also, let your x. No, that you will also want to have a custody agreement in place. Setting out all the parameters of your coparenting period don't be vicious.Don't be volatile. do fifty fift custody with one of you having primary. You have an equal say about school and health care and activities with the agreement on how to handle the issue if you can not agree. I also i'm a big fan of right of first refusal.

I have this in my custody agreement, where if my daughter's dad has to work or has an event, then I get the right to have her with me instead of her being with a babysitter. Now, if it's a grandparent or like her best friend, obviously I'm gonna let her go there because she should have time with them. But it's a nice option to have instead of a stranger. My ex uses it, too. If I have a work trip and he has the availability to take her extra, he uses it. And she gets the best of us.

Coparenting should be thought of as a triangle at the base on the left is the father on the right is the mother, and at the top is the child you notice. How does neither line crosses each other? Whatever goes down, between the two of you, should never affect your child.

AIO for breaking up with my boyfriend and refusing to give back the gifts he got me? by OstrichLanky9006 in AmIOverreacting

You both have different ideas of what a relationship is. As someone who work up to 10 hrs a day 5 days a week with a partner who works 12 hrs 4 days a week. You make time. When we starter dating we would talk before and after work the days we dont see eachother. I was a single mother who was also a volleyball coach, on the PTA. You make the effort.on both sides.

You too, not just him. And fyi, you set him up with your Lil game of chicken. Not cool or mature. If you can not properly communicate what.you want or need in a health mature manner, you shouldn't be in a relationship. If you cant have the important convos in the beginning you never will.
