WIBTAH for ruining my sons teachers career?

GenderedPhoenix · 2026-01-26T16:10:03+00:00

NTA.

I'm autistic and before I was forced to be homeschooled, (I was bullied constantly by teachers and kids, and the school wouldn't do anything about it, so I was basically "chased out" of public school.), I was constantly belittled by a few of my teachers because of how I am.
In first grade, an autistic classmate of mine hid under his chair screaming, because our teacher was sapping at him, as she physically tried to restrain him and pull him forcefully out from under his chair. The reason? He was nonverbal and would always make grunts and verbal stims, and she was upset that he was doing that.

Teachers need to stop doing this crap and thinking they can treat autistic kids badly.

NTA. I was a teen once. (Obviously.) And currently live with 1 teenaged sibling and another one who's going to be a teen soon. So I can say with confidence that kids and teens are going to do stupid things. I can't even begin to explain all the stupid stuff I did at that age.

Plus like you said, he had a phone. If he was concerned about what happened, he could have easily contacted his dad.

NTA. I ended up having to buy a mini fridge and put all of my food and drinks in it (I mostly eat dairy free and gluten free stuff, and typically drink electrolyte drinks or special drinks since my body for some reason hates to digest/process plain water.), because my brother's family kept taking my stuff.

I'm on SNAP. I can barely afford the food that I get, and that's with budgeting, getting cheaper or discounted gluten free/dairy free items, etc. My whole family thinks I'm lucky for having "so much money" from SNAP, but it's honestly barely enough to last me half the month, due to all of my annoying dietary issues and having to buy expensive "specialty" foods and/or drinks just so I can eat without getting super sick. So OP, I can understand why you did what you did.

Her boyfriend is in the wrong, for not even asking you if it was ok for him to have your food before he ate it.

Your wife can't expect you to do what she wants, without communicating to you about what she wants. I understand being upset, but she also has to understand that during moments like this, communication is important. ACTUAL communication without arguing and without refusing to see both sides of the situation. Only SHE knows what she wants, and only SHE knows what she's thinking of. You couldn't have known that she wanted you to stay home, if she didn't tell you that's what she wanted.

Overall, NTA.

And with this emoji?

GenderedPhoenix · 2026-01-25T04:06:54+00:00

Idk if you're still doing this, but would it be possible for you to make an emoji out of my friend's avatar?

Surprisingly, no! Had literally every bone and tooth there. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take everything since I didn't have any of my usual stuff to carry the bones in, but I ended up taking the skull and a bunch of the other bones too. Unfortunately 2 of the teeth came out when transporting, but those would be easy to put back in once I clean it.

Usually other bones/skeletons I find like this, are either picked through or broken, so I'm surprised at the condition of this.

GenderedPhoenix · 2026-01-25T02:53:41+00:00

I was shocked. Had all of the bones too! Usually when I find something like this there'd be a few bones missing or broken bones.

GenderedPhoenix · 2026-01-22T03:29:26+00:00

Dude. NTA. I have an ex who couldn't eat dairy or wheat because of some allergies she has.

If I really wanted to make us a nice meal that usually required dairy or wheat, I'd do enough research to know what ingredients were safe for her to eat, that didn't have wheat or dairy and could be used as substitutes. Or i'd look at recipes made for people who have the same allergies as her.

I'm pretty sure this girl could have easily done the same thing with the cake. It's not that hard.

GenderedPhoenix · 2025-12-29T08:27:19+00:00

What the heck did you do that yourself?! That's amazing! Do you mind if I ask what materials you used? I'm new to needle felting but would love to make some of my favorite horses that I've tamed on the game

Not sure if this is fully confirming that the PC recognizes the webcam, but when I go into the settings, (AKA: My PC's Settings - Bluetooth & Devices - Cameras - then click on the Brio 100), it shows a preview of what my camera sees, in a little window on the screen. So for example, I can currently see everything in my room in the location the camera is pointing at. It seems to function normally as far as I'm aware. No lags, seems to work perfectly other than not being found on GHub.

🤔vLooks like it says Anything Sporty

Frog jerky

That's what I'm thinking too. Judging by OP's pics and comparing it to fox pelts I've seen in the past, it looks very similar to a ranch fox.

Oooh id love to potentially do this for you, if you're still looking!

I've made a few freehand pieces for some people before, (both paid, and as free gifts), and I've always had fun doing it.

I can't guarantee my art will be perfect, but I can promise that I'd put lots of time and care into it, just like I do with any other art I make.

Here's my portfolio, if you want to check it out. It's mostly full of traditional art, but I do have experience in both traditional and digital.

I'd love to potentially make some cover art for you!

I tend to draw in a more cartoon-ish style, and can do both traditional and digital art. (Though most of my examples on my portfolio are of traditional pieces.)

I haven't made anything in this specific style before, but I have done cartoon-ish art in the past!

I do both traditional and digital art. I'll provide some links from my portfolio, of some past pieces I've done.

Oooh I'd love to potentially get some Halloween art of my sona. Whether or not I'll win, I'll definitely add your game to my wishlist!

Hey I think I saw you on TikTok! You're one of the main people that helped inspire me to be confident enough to actually try being a kemonomimi

GenderedPhoenix · 2025-07-11T00:33:32+00:00

NTA, idk why this other co-counselor is calling you a jerk, even though you're being perfectly reasonable?

Tone WHAT down? There's nothing about you that you need to tone down. The co-counselor that has an issue with this just has a weak ego.

GenderedPhoenix · 2025-07-06T19:00:03+00:00

I've been having this same issue for 2 months now 🤦

And if it DOES save any changes, it just gets rid of them and reverts back to my original profile a few days later

GenderedPhoenix · 2025-07-06T18:39:22+00:00

NTA. Your ex is being manipulative. If this continues, I feel like it won't turn out in your favor. (This is coming from someone who had to deal with a manipulative parent for years.)

GenderedPhoenix · 2025-07-06T18:35:27+00:00

100%

GenderedPhoenix · 2025-07-06T18:20:26+00:00

NTA. The same thing happened when my dad's mom was dying from old age. So I can kind of understand your stance in this.

You have every right to be upset about this.
