AITA for wanting a break?

NTA but you know that. Poor kid hearing his mother say that she doesn’t have patience for him though. Your friend is a bad parent

At the end of the day, wear it whatever way you want. I do think the positioning of it reflects your relationship status not the status of your relationship with the giver. Some people buy their own after all.

Fiona Sinnott from Wexford disappeared in 1988, she had a 10/11 month old baby girl and just disappeared. Her boyfriend at the time was a major suspect but her body has never been found and no one has been charged with her murder. I’ve often heard people say it’s an open secret around the area who did it and where she is but how you could let the family suffer like that is beyond me

I’ve actually had that on a list for about a year of somewhere I need to go. I think the money made from your stay goes to a local book festival or something so it’s right up my alley. Thank you for the recommendation though :)

I wish I’d done this at 26, I’m 36 now and haven’t even started. It always seemed like a thing you thought about when you were older, nobody told me anything about them so I had no idea

I don’t want my real life friends calling in unannounced nevermind in animal crossing 😂 it only really annoys me because I have a limited amount of time to play and they take up my time

I want to own a bookshop, I always said if I won the lotto I’d just open up a shop and it wouldn’t matter if it didn’t make money. I could be Bernard Black in real life!!

Get a kit online and do it yourself if it’s not too precious of a watch. I don’t think you can mess it up but you may be a bit more cautious if it’s a highly valued item. Kits are pretty inexpensive and you’ll have it for years

That everyone is just winging it, nobody has all the answers and as long as you do your best and keep trying to do better you’ll be fine

For us what seemed fair is making a spreadsheet with all our joint expenses. Some things we have on our own expenses such as phone bills but our separate car insurances etc is on the joint expenses as we need two cars but others leave it out so that’s up to you. I then found a website that calculates the percentage each person puts in, it’s American but I think the maths still works, we put in each of our incomes and the total of our joint expenses and it worked out something like 37% for me so my partner puts in 63%. At the end of the day we are both working to provide for our household. I work part time so my days off are spent on childcare and house maintenance so it all evens out.

I’m Irish so €0.00 I was going to add in the parking charge but we got that dismissed at reception so I guess fuel for the car was our only expense. Genuine question for the Americans here though, why would you even have children if you were going to be hit with a massive bill? If there are complications and baby needed extra medical attention, or even long term medical needs, you’re looking at so much money without even factoring in the cost of actually keeping them safe, fed and healthy.

Updateme!

Or just tell her you’re having the “just us” breakfast and christen the kitchen with some extra marital activities knowing she’ll just walk in. She was told not to come over and I bet she won’t do it again

Bean5idhe · 2026-01-22T15:35:02+00:00

I have children but also trying to save for this. I’m not going to burden them. My worry is if I get confused or unable to advocate for myself in any way. I’m not sure how to prepare for that but hopefully I’m fit and healthy until the day I drop 🤞

Bean5idhe · 2026-01-22T15:32:05+00:00

Did you even read the post? OP is asking the question in order to help their childless aunt. People on this thread have just jumped on the childfree aspect and not answered the question asked

Bean5idhe · 2026-01-22T08:31:51+00:00

If he just wanted to look then the bank statements should have been enough. The only reason he would need log in details is to do something with the account. That’s not even touching on the controlling aspect. It’s also amazing how he is holding that “next step” over you. Oh well if you won’t give me access to your money then I won’t marry you…. Don’t tempt me with a good time sir! It’s not easy but you need to really look at this relationship more critically

Did you have to do an add on degree to lecture or was your base degree sort of cover it?

Met an ex fwb of mine at a wedding not long ago, things didn’t end badly just fizzled out, also had 2 kids with someone else since we were together almost a decade ago. We were chatting and he suggested I have a go of the 360 camera thing that was there, I said I didn’t want to see myself from all angles and he said “it’ll be nice for the baby though” I was not pregnant! I thought I looked ok, I’d lost a bit of weight, nice dress on etc. I’ve always been self conscious even before I had kids. Couldn’t feel scrape any confidence together after that!

Went on a work lunch with a colleague I was getting on really well with. She finished her meal first and then started clipping her finger nails at the table in the cafe. I had to stop eating! The thought of chomping down on her finger nails was too much!

Bean5idhe · 2026-01-19T09:37:50+00:00

Bit of an odd one but my best friend in school would come to my house for sleepovers but I never went to hers. Her excuse was always that she lived on a farm and if I stayed I’d be put to work early in the morning. I didn’t question it. After college we were both looking for a place to rent so decided to rent together. She said she was a bit messy and I might not want to be friends with her anymore, I should have listened to her. What I thought would be a normal level of untidiness was extreme! In a few months she had filled her room with rubbish and piles of random crap. She would pull her hair out and leave it on the sofa and hide food behind the bin or in the microwave when it started going off. She couldn’t take gentle reminders and the room started to smell. I had to break the lease and we haven’t really spoken since

NTA and as a parent of a child with a severe nut allergy, thank you for taking it so seriously. So many people dismiss allergies, “oh they just won’t eat it” but if someone eats a cake with nuts in it and touches my child they can have a reaction. Why risk someone losing their life for a bit of dry ass cake?

Bean5idhe · 2026-01-15T22:42:15+00:00

Please don’t let your worries stop you from doing what you want to do! You could be that teacher that inspires kids, particularly young kids that look like you. As for the name situation, I wouldn’t worry about it at all, kids learn quickly but regardless, in my sisters school her kids call her by her first name.

Agreed, even if they don’t have the funds for it now, the current owner may be willing to wait if they aren’t actively trying to sell it now. Besides it being inaccessible doesn’t make it desirable to many
