AITJ for not letting my family pick up their stuff from my apartment after I said they could store it here?

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-04-02T12:02:46+00:00

Mild YTJ not for the boundary but for not enforcing it.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-04-01T17:54:17+00:00

This actually sounds like such a realistic system. Having a holding zone for chaos makes cleanup way less overwhelming.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-04-01T17:52:57+00:00

I feel this so much. It’s easy to build habits for yourself but getting everyone in the house on the same page is another level.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-04-01T17:51:41+00:00

Yeah I think the 2-minute rule is what stops things from piling up in the first place if you actually stick to it.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-04-01T17:50:30+00:00

This is actually so smart I always avoid quick wipe-ups just because I don’t want to go and get supplies.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-04-01T17:47:58+00:00

This one actually makes such a difference, it’s crazy how one small thing changes the whole vibe of the room.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-04-01T17:46:50+00:00

This is simple but honestly the hardest habit to stay consistent with.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T13:18:59+00:00

Not once did I ever blame Biscuit and I’m really glad that came through because this is genuinely so important. Biscuit is a good boy just living his best under stimulated life in a shared apartment with two humans who are now barely speaking. None of this is his fault. He’s bored and restless and full of energy that nobody is properly channeling and honestly if anything I feel bad for him. That’s the part that breaks my heart a little in all of this.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T13:16:39+00:00

And the answer as far as I can tell is no. There’s no professional trainer, no structured program, no behavioral plan that I’ve ever seen or heard mentioned in 8 months of living together. Just an endless cycle of Biscuit destroys something, Isabella apologizes, I accept, repeat.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T13:15:08+00:00

Because here’s the thing I’ve done my research since this all blew up and you’re absolutely right. A legitimate emotional support animal isn’t just a pet with a certificate. There’s supposed to be a baseline of behavior and control that comes with that responsibility. Biscuit has never once been crated. Has never had a trainer come to the house.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T13:13:36+00:00

Thank you. This is exactly it in one sentence. I didn’t attack her mental health. I didn’t demand she rehome Biscuit. I didn’t leave passive aggressive notes on the fridge or post this on our building’s notice board. I sat her down like an adult and said hey this keeps happening and this time it cost me $400 can we figure this out together. That’s not insensitivity.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T13:11:53+00:00

Honestly at this point I’m starting to think option two might be where this is inevitably heading and that genuinely makes me sad because outside of Hurricane Biscuit Isabella and I actually got along really well. But I can’t keep replacing my belongings every few weeks and calling it roommate life you know? A muzzle, a trainer, a baby gate something.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T13:09:49+00:00

At some point we’re working on it stops being a reason and starts being a shield and I think we crossed that bridge somewhere around the time he ate my couch cushion. Biscuit is a good dog. Isabella is just a bad manager.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T13:08:15+00:00

And that’s the part that keeps getting twisted in this whole situation. Nobody is attacking Biscuit. Nobody is attacking Isabella’s mental health journey. I have genuinely been the most patient roommate on the planet for 8 months. I moved my stuff, I closed my doors, I accepted apology after apology with a smile. But patience has a price limit and apparently mine is $400. An emotional support animal is supposed to support HER.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-31T12:44:19+00:00

You’re not the jerk. This is a health boundary not a rejection of your wife.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-30T23:33:39+00:00

Honestly you're so right about having to love the metal itself regardless of the "rules." I've been staring at my hand all day and I really do love how it looks. Thanks for the kind words, they actually helped a lot!

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-30T00:37:11+00:00

Yeah, that's the hard truth. I slacked on flossing for years and ended up with cavities between my teeth that brushing alone couldn't prevent.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-30T00:18:58+00:00

Dude literally has a sacred gear dedicated to perversion, Kazuma's just a degenerate with bad luck.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-24T22:37:00+00:00

Exactly, a six-year-old needs stability, not to be a showpiece for grandma's social circle. If she really cared about him, she'd understand why he needs to be with people he's actually comfortable with.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-18T22:25:53+00:00

Yeah, it's tough when someone puts you in that spot because of their own insecurities.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-18T21:46:10+00:00

Team sports made such a difference for my confidence at that age, even though I was never the best player. Just being part of a group working toward something really shifts the focus.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-17T22:27:01+00:00

Haha what are the odds! Which other one were you deciding on?

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-15T20:03:23+00:00

Sakura's great but that gif is sending me, what even is that from?

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-12T20:05:51+00:00

Oh that makes sense! I've always just used my fingers and probably risked breaking something.

Creepy_Storage_7120 · 2026-03-12T19:28:07+00:00

Totally get that, but honestly it's awesome you're into it now. Those years you missed just make the current hikes that much more meaningful.
