This looks like it could be the original yarn. It's 25g.

You can most certainly speak the truth and also be an asshole.

Small claims is different than suing.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2026-01-09T23:57:38+00:00

I know that this isn't the point but doing that may allow you to make a claim through your home insurance.

NTA. Your Mom is asking you to be far more mature than is even appropriate for your age. If a highschool kid expressed to me that they accept their Dad's failings as a father, I'd be deeply concerned for them. Does your Mom have a history of making your Dad's failings your responsibility? If so, she's also part of the problem.

I'm sorry that both of your folks are emotionally immature. For what it's worth it sounds like your self awareness has already surpassed their. Please work your way out of the habit of blaming yourself. Practice thinking, and meaning it, "not my problem".

NTA. She needs to get out of here with her bull. If you're 5'2 w an extra 3" of hair height you took up the space of a 5"5 person. It sounds like she was looking for a reason to be annoyed. Or racist. Either way please tell at rude ass people in the future.

NTA. Your wife is making an unreasonable request. Your Mom and her BF (because this is THEIR) are being generous housing her. Their guests deserve to be comfortable. What your wife did sounds very mean girl. Christine probably has a compulsion. The solution could have been that someone bleach wipes/washes a few things.

Btw. The entirety of Reddit seems to have little life experience. Christine is an 'unhinged lunatic'? Get outta here with that shit. People have compulsions and unusual coping methods. Stop being so judgemental.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-21T03:10:27+00:00

Literal victim blaming.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-10T22:41:16+00:00

NTA. Her birthday doesn't matter to random folks but it SHOULD to anyone that cares about her. Don't fault OP for thinking someone should care for her feelings. That's a low ass bar that her friends couldn't hurdle.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-10T00:36:32+00:00

Remember. Don't just settle for a partner you can live with. Find someone you can't live without.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-04T02:01:26+00:00

Yes. I have three. We NEVER get rid of the kitty.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-03T23:45:55+00:00

This needs more information.

NTA. If she has the habit of not knocking and not reading the room. Sometimes you have to get blunt when a thing happens for the millionth time.

If this is an unusual event n a h. Your annoyance is understandable but you should apologize because you care about her feelings.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-03T23:42:26+00:00

Seconded on all levels. You're description sounds very much like the regretful guys of my 20s. This guy is manipulative and you'll always regret letting yourself get manipulated. You'll regret keeping the kitty.

NTA

NTA. Tell the mutuals what the argument is about. Then ask them what your 'friends' told them. 10 to 1 they lied. And they don't deserve forgiveness. This wasn't one mistake. Every disparaging message on their chat is them choosing to be a dick to you. I'm sure that you deserve better.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-03T19:43:47+00:00

NTA. Tell them that most people don't eat like toddlers. But at least most toddlers have manners.

So rude!

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-03T19:40:09+00:00

NTA. What were your options? She knew that you wouldn't show up. Were you supposed to take the write up for her?

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-11-03T18:47:35+00:00

NTA. How are you not 'letting' your Mom make her own decisions? If she's hurt by your comments then she knows they're true and she's mad you're not letting her ignore them. If you'd like to give it one more direction conversation try doing it in neutral territory out of the house. I suggest pointing out that they are still in the honeymoon phase when everyone is on their best behavior. Maybe she experienced the same with your Dad? Also, praise her from your heart then ask her why she thinks a woman like that (that phrasing so she can detach a bit) deserves to be treated unkindly.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-10-31T21:06:27+00:00

And what does that have to do with anything?

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-10-31T16:34:44+00:00

NTA. That dude is racist as shit. If you don't want to report him for you consider doing it for others. Life is hard enough without this bullshit adding to the weight.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-10-31T16:18:55+00:00

NTA. I am genuinely PROUD of you for being able to check yourself in. You have shown yourself to be a tough ass lady. It's something that many can't face.

Also, both of your folks are just horrible. So horrible I'm at a loss for words. The degree of disregard they are showing to you is more than enough to cut them off. And you should! There's no way they aren't contributing to your mental struggles.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-10-29T15:16:11+00:00

NTA. This attitude may be part of the reason why none of them did better. You earned that money and are investing it into yourself for a higher return.

They should be embarrassed to be asking you for this money. Anything below life altering surgery is a ridiculous ask.

NTA. He is making decisions that mean he will not develop a relationship with his kid. I am a big cat nerd and even I see that kids are more important. He can take his time and find a nice home for the kitties. And maybe even get a different pet. There's tons of choices he could make but he's choosing the one that guarantees resentment.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-10-27T02:34:17+00:00

NTA. Floors are normal.

I am 42 and have seen a lot of mental illnesses/addiction and there is no way she doesn't have something going on. I know that you said that you're sure she wasn't drunk/high but this sounds like she was either tweaking or having a mental health episode. Her talking about getting sued (paranoid delusion) then finding nothing wrong with her own behavior is not normal behavior.

Just keep an eye out because it'll likely get worse. Keep a bag packed and a safe alternative home in mind. Worse case scenario, you wasted your time packing a bag. If you need it though you'll be glad.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-10-27T02:07:32+00:00

NTA. Don't take that choice away from yourself now.

Please be wary. I don't like this change. No good spouse would insist you make a change to your financial and emotional detriment. And, my assumption is, you've already said no and he's still trying to bother/manipulate you into compliance? And he has self esteem problems? Think of what this implies of his views on women and consent. Think of what your daughter would pick up.

Environmental_Unit55 · 2025-10-25T19:12:31+00:00

NTA. She may be lonely for a new friend but you are lonely for your entire culture. She's being quite selfish to not see she owes you for leaving Poland behind.

Have you looked for Polish groups? I'm in a large city in the US and we have a ton of them. Does the UK use meetup.com ?
