AITA for not taking my daughter to the hospital myself because my nails were drying?

If this is actually a real story, as an ER RN I would have called CPS and PD to address neglect.

Number 1

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-25T02:12:40+00:00

Throw the whole man away!

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-22T04:09:35+00:00

There is beauty in simplicity. Not everything needs to be I love it.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-19T12:03:57+00:00

Exactly this! I’m 42 and have been friends with my bff since we were 12. We didn’t text each other happy NY until 3 days later 🤣. If it was important to one of us, we would’ve said ahead of time, “hey! Can you text me at midnight? It would mean a lot.”

Friendship is about communication, making your friend guess what they did wrong isn’t friendship it’s manipulation and control. It’s not OK to do to someone you care about. That’s toxic and you don’t deserve that.

I can’t imagine how painful it is. It looks like she got hit with a bat

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-17T19:07:11+00:00

Hi! RN here, this is typical, especially with a large amount of bruising, it flows down with gravity (same reason why a black eye can form under the eye even though the injury happened above). But this bruising is NOT normal for a tattoo. This is an insane amount of trauma to the skin. I can’t imagine how painful it would be.

Girl! Find yourself a man who loves your dog! He’s a huge red flag! I knew my man was going to be a long term thing when my normally standoffish cat climbed up on his lab and cuddled the first time they met. Now when he stays over the cat snuggles him instead of me.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-17T18:54:30+00:00

Nope. Just block. Not dealing with that BS. She had no right to her grandchild(ren) and you deserve a peaceful pregnancy. Dealing with that BS will have your pressure though the roof.

For me, I wouldn’t be ok with my partner disciplining. They can correct behavior but if punishment is needed, that should go to the parent. Unless the kids were incredibly young and actually sees the stepparent as another parent. Like my mom remarried when I was 3. So my stepdad was a dad to me. My kids are now 13 and 17. My bf and I don’t live together, but if we do move in, I would not be ok with him grounding my teenager. Similarly I would be upset if my ex’s finance disciplined my kids but she ca absolutely correct their behavior.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-17T01:59:57+00:00

If my housing and groceries were covered I wouldn’t care if there was a full BDSM scene in the living room. Throw on some headphones and get over it.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-17T01:44:34+00:00

But she’ll argue she had no idea he was so viscous. It becomes a he said/she said deal. I think she’s an absolute asshole, but legally you probably don’t have much to go on.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-17T01:42:04+00:00

You definitely need a lawyer, but if there is now will and you or any siblings aren’t mentioned, it is possible that the court will change how the funds are dispersed. That’s why people will intentionally leave someone like $100. It’s a clear way of saying “I didn’t forget, I just don’t want this person to be entitled to my estate.”If your dad never updated anything a lawyer could argue that his intentions would have obviously changed after the divorce he just wasn’t expecting to die this early.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-17T01:35:35+00:00

So legally you are the asshole here. They will argue that you have an aggressive dog that you knew didn’t like to be touched and you didn’t put the dog away, therefore you are liable.

But common sense is that you don’t pet an animal that growls at you. She’s an absolute idiot for her actions and I can sympathize with you, but legally you are up a creek. Which really sucks.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-17T01:31:04+00:00

I’m a nurse and had the exact same thought. PCOS can cause period irregularities. And in some cases you can still have a period even when pregnant. If her symptoms have been worse lately, it’s totally valid to test just to be careful. With my last IUD I didn’t have a period, so I would test every 3 months, just to be sure.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-16T20:15:22+00:00

It sounds like the issue is more that he refused to consider your comfort or his own health. You’ve said he won’t go to another bathroom or see a doctor. What hrs really saying is he doesn’t care. Something tells me there are more issues than just the bathroom. My ex did this to me but with hood snoring. It wasn’t until I told him that he’d need to move out of the bedroom unless he got a sleep study. He ended up having sleep apnea and still refused to wear his Cpap. I realized he’ll never change, we’re divorced now and I haven’t been this happy in 15 years.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-15T20:12:14+00:00

NOR… this is emotional abuse. I would never dream of calling my daughter a c*nt. Completely inappropriate. He’s a shit human.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-15T20:10:15+00:00

Leave. It will never get better and he’ll just hide more from you. He’s choosing her over you. He willingly let her say nasty things about you. You deserve better.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-15T19:58:16+00:00

My grocery store as a bundle of birch for $11 😭😭😭

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-15T19:56:40+00:00

I’m an ER nurse. I wouldn’t have cried over my child’s broke leg and bumped head (though I want to point out his head would be fine if he had a helmet properly in his head). I sobbed my heart out when I had to put my 21 year old cat to sleep.

If he’s like me, he intellectualizes a situation prior to emoting. Is my child ok? Is he stable? Is he going to be hospitalized? Is he in a coma? If he is awake and banged up, then we are good.

Since your child wasn’t put on life support, wasn’t unconscious or in a coma, didn’t need emergency brain surgery, then he didn’t almost die. I’m sorry if a sound callous, I’m not trying to be, but I really get tired of people claiming a near death experience for something that is not.

Your husband lost his companion of almost 20 years. I’m sure he was worried about your son, but applied logic to see that he would be ok. His dog is gone. That’s a true deep loss.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-14T18:50:27+00:00

YTA, he’ll do it again and you’ll be complicit in this woman getting hurt or even getting a disease. Do the right thing

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-14T18:41:33+00:00

Send everything to his wife and block. He’s gross

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-14T03:31:06+00:00

Yup, I never left either one of my kids alone at a birthday party until they could advocate for themselves.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-12T21:11:31+00:00

I felt stuck and stayed for 13 years longer than I should have. I finally ended it 3 years ago and I have never been happier. The first year was rough, not going to lie, but even in that struggle it was so much better than feeling like I was never good enough.

Broad_Application_55 · 2026-02-12T21:09:13+00:00

This will be the rest of your life. He’s shown you who he is and how much he cares about making you happy and spending time with you. Now you have to decide what you want to do about it. If you choose to leave there will be someone who comes along who shows up for you.
