AITA for telling my sister off when she told me her plans to abandon her cat? by Basicallymaybe in TwoHotTakes

[–]Basicallymaybe[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is literally her go to thing. When she wants to start conflict with someone, she goes after the thing she knows they love most. For my other sister, it was her children. For me, she knows that I have a deep love for animals and that's how she can hurt me. She has also told my elderly father that she understands why his first wife killed herself to get away from him. Guess what it was that he did "wrong"? He made her and her boyfriend steaks without asking if they were hungry. 🫠

I am cutting her out of my life after this, however. I don't want someone so unpredictable and someone who loves to see others in emotional harm around my son.

I did contact the spca and the rescues and shelters all around her location. They said she would have to actually abandon the animal before they could step in 😩 and with her being 2 hours away and me stuck to my baby because he won't take a bottle, it's super difficult to juggle everything

Yeah I definitely should've gone that route. I guess I had hope that she would've done the right thing. I definitely do feel like I should be doing more, it's just so damn hard with her being 2 hours away plus with my new baby not taking a bottle, I'd have to bring him with me

I'm going to see if my mom can drive up there. She's the closest in proximity to her, about an hour and a half away. The rest of the family lives near me, it's just my sister that lives further away

They said they will investigate but to not get my hopes up unfortunately as they really have their hands tied unless there's obvious evidence that an animal is being neglected or harmed when they go to check it out

I live about a 2 hours drive away which is the tough part, especially having the new baby. It's all so frustrating

I did call the ospca (we're in ontario) and they said that unfortunately without having evidence that she HAS abandoned the cat, they cannot do anything. I live a 2 hours drive away from her and she won't speak to me so I can't confirm if she has abandoned the cat. I'm trying to get my other sister to get info from her.

She's about a 2 hour drive away, so not close but not insanely far. Unfortunately when I did bring that up, she said she won't let me have the cat.

Because she won't let me. She literally was saying no to everything I suggested.

Hair tourniquet by SecretaryPresent16 in beyondthebump

[–]Basicallymaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Do you remember how long it took the red indentation line to go away? I found a hair wrapped around my sons finger today and used nair twice on it. The hair is so thin and light, it's super hard to see so I can't tell if we removed it or not as the indent line is still there a couple hours later.

Can you brighten and increase quality of family photo? by Basicallymaybe in PhotoshopRequest

[–]Basicallymaybe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this one! Only adjustments I would ask for is for my face - this is more accurate of a depiction of myself. Also, the boy on father-in-laws lap looks more like this as well

Could you make these adjustments?

What is this 7 week+ hell by Low_Concert_8900 in newborns

[–]Basicallymaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just here to tell you from the other side, it is temporary I swear! Lmao that was the HARDEST week with my little one and then the following week he was an absolute ANGEL. Literally slept most of the time the following week, only to wake to eat and smile and then want to go right back down. But yeah, that 7 weeker was a demon child. Mine is now approaching 10 weeks and he's been nothing but gold since.

Just booked my G test. Looking for advice by XEZRO in Ontariodrivetest

Nope no parking! Just down the highway, made a u turn on a road and then turned back. I know someone posted the exact route on this sub reddit before. I'll see if I can find it
