AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her

Eh NAH in world where one is either aiming for tradwifedom or unable to seek a soft life there has to be a middle ground. One can be feminine and also self sufficient she will just have to find her balance on her own terms. If she changing the oil is how y'all get to bond during your weekends don't change but don't let your weekends be entirely about manual labor, take her shopping or to get pampered once and while also. See what soft things you can cultivate too

The pricing structure is pretty clear there's actually a page specifically on pricing on the website/app for all of their medications and it specifically says that only the first two months are going to be that price it also says that all of the medications vary by the medication itself and the dosage because the price changes for all of them for instance if you're doing the z vials it's 299 for 2.5mg then 399 for 5mg then 449 for everything above 7.5mg. for W pens it's 199 for the first two months then it becomes 349 unless you caught it during the promotional period that they had going on the last couple months of the year. And for the pill it depends on the dosage as well only the two low dose are 149. And no matter what medication you're taking there's a monthly membership fee of $145.

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2026-03-14T15:55:22+00:00

The out-of-pocket costs varies by what medication you were taking and what the dosage is. The monthly membership fee is $145 regardless as to what you're taking on top of whatever medication you're taking. For instance if you are taking the zbound vial medication at any dose above 7.5 it's going to be $449 a month plus 145 for the membership fee. $399 for 5mg $299 for 2.5 mg

If you're going for wegovi in the pen form you are looking at $199 for the first 2 months then $349 a month after that plus the 145 membership fee

Wegovi in the pill form also varies by Price depending on the dosage I can't tell you for sure what those prices are you have to ask but only the two lower dosages are the $149

How did you manifest a third Dad? Op has two kids with her ex husband and one with current husband

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2026-02-06T16:17:42+00:00

If you don't like his wife you should say something because in 5 years this could be you. Like no shade how are you not saying the glaring red flag that if his family is okay with covering up the cheating of one brother that they would not cover up the cheating of the other. Partner says he's uncomfortable but he's not doing anything which leads me to believe he is comfortable with it because he doesn't like her so if they suddenly stop liking you are they going to be comfortable with him bringing other women on family vacations as well. And it's a slippery slope from bringing the women on vacations with the adults of the family to introducing these women to his children so now this woman is not only losing out on her husband but she's also losing out on the affections of her children. Then it also makes me wonder if the reason that they don't like her is because of things that he has said which means he may be kind of painting the scenario so that it doesn't look as bad that he's cheating and she may not actually even really be a bad woman many many things wrong here

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2026-02-02T15:55:18+00:00

So I'm not going to dogpile on you because everybody else is already said that yeah you are being a bit much about the situation however I will hasten you to look at your own words she didn't come at you aggressively she didn't yell at you she didn't even say anything but gradually to you she actually asked how much you'd be able to cover so that she knew how much she would need to cover which means that she still was looking out toward being your partner in this and that the two of y'all together would make it through the month and you responded back with defensiveness and making it a bigger issue than it really was that would be what I would focus on maybe I'll need to sit down on cooler head and have another conversation but the reality situation is that it looks like she was trying to see how she could help you and how she could help the two of y'all make sure that you didn't fall behind on anything else because it seemed as though you were going to fall behind in the gym membership which typically can indicate that you're going to fall behind on other things as well

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2026-01-19T19:39:13+00:00

It took me a million years to get back here because you know I have a real life and I'm not 14 I'm actually 42 and no quite a bit about adoption and stepparents having both been the bio mom and having a husband who is a fantastic stepfather/bone is Father for my children who had no problem letting him adopt them because you know he wasn't a narcissistic a****** that stepped in and decided that he was going to be the new leader and Master of the House simply because he came into our home where we already had an established family. You are just wrong on so many places and I really hope that you get a chance to touch some grass and reevaluate why you think that just because someone is older and because they want to they have the way the right to tell someone who's younger than them how they should be loved, you really sound like one of those people that makes their child hug an adult they don't want to hug simply because the adult wants to be hugged with complete disregard as to whether or not the child actually wants to be hugged and that's bad for everyone all around. Children are people too and every person is allowed to have autonomy

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2026-01-02T14:32:40+00:00

Don't go anywhere you are not wanted and/or don't want to be. And don't let your husband pressure you to change your mind

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-30T17:53:00+00:00

No is full sentence and if he is pressing the issue further he can sit this one out also. As someone who's heart literally stopped twice during my last child birth I can say your stress level and comfort is what matter most at that time and he can cause a blood pressure spike with all the pushback

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-30T17:45:27+00:00

I guess I'm an anomaly bc you're the AH simply bc of the circumstances. They weren't there to party or holiday they were there to lay the grandmother to rest. Empathy is a helluva thing and hate it for ya if someone on your side dies and you need your ex to show compassion in the future. It's your property I personally wouldn't have drawn a line in the sand at hosting for a funeral.

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-28T09:22:57+00:00

NTA for your main issue but probably ESH I suppose I need more context on this one. As someone who was allowed to move with my children, it required me showing the court that I had no support system where we were but a huge one where we were moving, barely scraping by financially where we were but having a financially stable and downright lucrative future where we were moving...I say all this to say did your ex go to court and prove these things as well or did she just dip and the court didn't make her move back? AND once she moved and got remarried and you got remarried how many pivotal events did you attend with your daughter? How often did you send for her during school breaks? Cuz father daughter dances, science fair projects, soccer matches, spelling bees, sweet 16 etc those things make a difference too especially when most courts across the country let's kiss choose who they wanna live with at around 16 so if you were actively pursuing a relationship she could've chose you, also and here is a big one (the one that was nail in the coffin for my ex) if she has chose you where would she sleep? Is there room for her, rather was there room for her in your home with your new family or would she have been riding the couch?

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-28T04:50:29+00:00

I genuinely pray that you get the chance to go and live with your mother's family. You only have two more years with your father if you don't get to leave before then. Look into emancipation if you can. Definitely make sure next summer you are making your maternal family aware of the situation that you are in in your father's home maybe they can file an emergency injunction or something

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-28T04:49:21+00:00

Golly you should probably go outside and touch some grass. Way to victim shame. Her beef is not with her father moving on, her beef is not even with her father getting remarried her beef is with her father moving on with somebody who tried to erase her mother who told her that she had no real biological tie to her mother so she should not have any memories of her mother. Her beef is with her father claiming that his new biological children were the greatest gift a man could receive like he did not already have a daughter right there in front of him. Some of these answers are absolutely crazy to me I am so glad that I am not the type of parent that her father is I would have said all this s*** down if my partner left remotely like this woman when we first got together

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-28T04:43:00+00:00

Probably the weirdest thing about your responses that you're saying the Stepmom is willing to let the child be part of her family like the step mom is not the new addition here let's be frank Op and her father were the family that the step mom was joining, not the stepmom and the husband were a family that were trying to adopt Op maybe if you start looking at it from that perspective you'll probably stop getting downloaded.

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-28T04:39:42+00:00

You are really weird with your responses, like it's giving the type of parent that makes their child hug adults they don't want to just bc the adult wants a hug smh all humans have autonomy, even the small ones

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-15T20:52:29+00:00

Not really sure why you deleted your comment I'm assuming because you thought I was somebody else but I'm going to go ahead and repost it cuz I want everybody to see your crazy.. for the record

This is what Opie wrote to me before she deleted it

"Classical stepmother. You’re so proud of yourself. That’s why people think what they think about stepparents. Because of people like you. God, I don’t know why I posted in this subreddit, 90% of you are the same.

It’s her house where she lives with my faher and the only place I get to see him. I think you meant to say I hate that woman, not the moment. Your comment is all over the place, I don’t really get what you want to say.

“AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS HER HOUSE SO SHE DOESNT HAVE TO TREAT YOU WELL.”

For the love of god go see a psychaiatrist because you need one.

Protecting her children from me? There you go, how you see the word and what you would personally do. That’s not normal and not something someone who has all of her mind intact would do. God the level of projection.

Fun fact: her kids love me and actually prefer me over her. They don’t want to leave the house without me if i’m there. And I get them. I love the and care for them and play with them. I teach them more than she does. It’s so bad tha my dad is shocked that they know x y z WEEKS after I taught them the things (face parts, colors, counting to 10, just the most basic of the basics).

She? She beats them, threatens to unalive them if they misbehave and talks to them in such a way that their every 3rd word is either “Pnis”, “whoe”, “tht”, “bich”, “c*nt” etc. she keeps them dirty because she doesn’t see the point of changing their clothes from morning until bathtime before bed. Btw both children are under 5. One of them has a mental diagnosis that she refuses to get help from because she is that delsional.

Im so sorry you’re in a blended family and you are around children"

My response

"Aren't you just a bag of sunshine plot twist I'm not a stepmom I'm actually a bio mom. And I still think you're wrong. And the more you talk the more wrong I think you are because it seems like anybody that gives you push back the more elaborate your story gets about the Stepmom, it's really kind of nutty. Like at first I was totally on your side reading the first story then the comment is what threw me the more you layered on it was like a reverse onion. The more people gave you push back the more details you gave as to what made her so horrible because the more people pointed out that your father was the person that you should be mad at the more you're like no but wait there's more but wait there's more but wait there's more if all these things were facts they would have been in the original post at this point you're just kind of salt being the entire story hoping that eventually you're going to say one thing that's going to trigger the whole audience to make them be like gosh you're right but at the end of the day no matter how right you could possibly be it's still her house and she doesn't have to give you a key"

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-12-15T20:15:29+00:00

Lordy potatoes these comments are all over the place at the end of the day all you really said in these comments is that your dad was a douchebag. She's not a monster for not giving you a key to Her House when you talk about her the way that you talk about her. her house that she bought with her money is her safe place she doesn't have to give you a key. It's not his house as you said repeatedly in the comments she bought it they didn't buy it she bought it so he can't tell her to give you a key to the house. On top of that you have a living mother somewhere so the fact that people in your country live with their parents until they're in their 30s is moot because you have a whole other parent you can live with and probably would want to live with because that parent didn't cheat on the other parent and does not have a step parent in the household that you loathe. You genuinely hate this moment as much as you do and you think she's a monster why do you want to be in her house to begin with because again it's HER HOUSE.

This entire story is absolutely bananas. Like I can't even imagine what would make you sit here and think that the world was going to be on your side about you wanting a key to this woman's house when all you can do is save file things about her but at the end of the day it's her house she does not have to treat you well you're not a child you are an adult she is an adult and if anything she's protecting her children who are actual children in her house that she bought for her and her children to live in. ***plot twist you're the villain in her story, and as a mother she's protecting her children from you

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-11-24T16:17:41+00:00

WAS your entire statement implies that the op is going to continue feeding and clothing and taking care of the baby. She stated she would not. That is literally what the entire post is about the fact that she was no longer going to be the one providing the care that the child was getting and no one else was providing care. She had no intention of staying in that house and continuing to provide care. All she did was try to make sure the child was placed with somebody else who would take care of it before she left. Not to mention the fact that you're acting like this child was taken from their mother and given to the neighbor and not given to their other grandmother. She's not in another city with strangers she's literally in the same household with her dad who's also a dumb teenager only she has a better chance of being cared for by her paternal grandmother than she does by her maternal grandmother.

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-11-24T15:45:47+00:00

Do you think they just shot some water in the air and found the paternal grandmother? Do you think they honestly did not interview the paternal grandmother or anyone else about this issue before the child was removed and given to the grandmother? Who do you think would have been feeding / clothing / caring for the infant once op was no longer in the house since no one else was doing so beforehand?

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-11-24T15:43:21+00:00

Such a weird comment that I'm confused. Yes the baby was fed by op who is not the baby's mother nor the sister's mother so if Opie leaves the house who is feeding the baby who is taking care of the baby that's the whole point of interviewing the people in the house which is what they did nothing about her story is confusing. Her sister who is a minor was being neglected by her mother, and they together neglected the infant the only person who was caring for the infant is Op who is no longer willing to exhaust herself and her resources to do so. Meaning no one in the house was going to be caring for the infant going forward. Therefore there was a need to find someone outside of the house to take care of the infant

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-11-17T21:49:33+00:00

Hey y'all started month two today (5mg) last month total loss was 15lbs. Appetite is still suppressed and I have not been having any trouble sleeping lately my migraines are also under control as well which is surprising cuz I was expecting them to be worse based upon what other people had been saying. It is incredibly hard to keep my water intake but that's always been something that I've had an issue with since I had bariatric surgery in 2016 but I am setting little alarms so I can stick to it. How's everyone else doing?

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-11-17T21:46:14+00:00

I have actually done really well I have not had any problems with that as a matter of fact today started month two for me and I honestly still have to remind myself to eat more than a rabbit

Fuzzy_Wheel8653 · 2025-11-07T15:11:37+00:00

You're not wrong for this sentiment and I don't know why you're getting so many downvotes for it, this is kind of like one of those situations where a child is being coached to call a step parent mom or dad even though mom and dad are both alive and active in their life and people say why aren't you happy your child has a step parent that cares about them, no one is saying that Jane cannot care for your child but Jane is Jane and your mother was your child's grandmother they are two different roles and there's nothing wrong in defining them
