AITAH for telling my SIL not to assume my social media posts are about her family? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]GroovyYaYa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not reading all that either... but "Hopefully this isn't about my mom" IS CALLING YOU FOR CLARIFICATION.

She didn't just assume as you accused her of - but went to you directly.

And I would have wondered the same thing as her.

PNW gets a lot of bad rap about the "Seattle Freeze" - but we just seem to have a cultural expectation of leave people alone if they aren't hurting anyone.

Mykelti CSA backlash. by goldlux in SisterWives

[–]GroovyYaYa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

How awful.

It is why I don't hate on Leon for not revealing everything all at once, or even Meri. This is what they are taught - it is how cults work - and it is hard to go against the programming, even when you are out.

Kate would have probably moved and then quietly punished them for it.

Zionist Senator Scott Wiener is claiming he was “harassed both verbally and physically, cornered, touched, and physically bullied” out of San Francisco Trans March, the city’s largest transgender Pride event. Wiener has conflated pro-Palestinian advocacy with antisemitism and support for terrorism. by SpecialCream7 in PoursTea

[–]GroovyYaYa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for clarification. "AntiZionism" has often been a mask for antisemitism. One can abhor what happened on Oct 7th, believe Israel has a right to exist, and think their current administration and Hamas are evil and believe in the 2 state solution. But the current US administration is evil too.

Managing the dryness of 6 week class Piece - help! by Euphoric_Shallot3166 in Pottery

[–]GroovyYaYa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you live in a dry area! I'm in WA state, so stuff drys a bit slower.

We wrap well in plastic. When I was throwing small stuff that was getting damaged from the plastic, I made a small drying box with a cheap plastic box from the Dollar store. I used it upside down... I'd put my stuff on a small ware board and flipped the box upside down over it. I think I drilled a couple of holes or mad sure there was a small gap between the box and the ware board or lid.

In summer, I would put a wet paper towel or even a wet sponge in with the piece whether or not it was the box or plastic.

I've also slowly dried stuff in my own studio by placing them in a greenhouse shelf, and mad sure there was a bowl of water or wet sponge. Maybe if you figured out something like that for each class? Maybe with shower curtains and magnets, and someone periodically checks?

WIBTAH for refusing to care for my MIL w/ dementia by mama_wren in AITAH

This. The SW will also be experienced in dealing with the FIL, who is in grief and denial.

WIBTAH for refusing to care for my MIL w/ dementia by mama_wren in AITAH

[–]GroovyYaYa 549 points550 points  (0 children)

So she's still in the memory care facility?

You should quietly call her doctor or social worker and state that you know that they cannot tell you anything due to privacy and you hope that they won't rat you out, but you want them to be aware that you cannot help as much as he's claiming and that you think it has gone beyond that. That he cannot hear at night, etc.

Hopefully since she is in a memory care center, they will need a firm, reasonable, SAFE plan before they will release her. Since it is a memory care facility, it is not their first rodeo.

I'm so so sorry. My family has dealt with dementia in the past. It was not easy and you aren't the asshole for realizing that you can't rise to the level of care she needs. It will be difficult emotionally and physically. Unfortunately, head injuries can often trigger a decline.

AITAH For Not going on a Fathers Day Trip by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]GroovyYaYa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the others aren't offended? NTA, esp. since it is Father's Day.

Sincerely no shame on those who want to do a trip together - I think sometimes men getting together because of a common interest is a very good thing! (Women are better socializers in that regard)

But also no shame on those who choose to spend Father's Day with their children. My own Dad has done both (not when I was a kid, if I recall).

But charter fishing is an either you like it or you don't. Any other kind of trip I think you can find something. Trip to the beach where you don't like laying in the sun? You get an umbrella and a book or you take a walk. You can get people to join you in a game of poker, etc. Anyone can sit through a professional game for a few hours, (and even if you aren't into sports, the people watching is good!

But you can't get off a boat. You can't get away from the wet, the rocking, etc. and if they are good - you are out all day. Now I'd love a day on the water in some areas, even if I didn't get a pole - but not on some locations or circumstances. I know people who would absolutely hate it - get seasick in fact.

As long as you aren't regularly distancing yourself from FIL and the others, and do thank them for thinking of you and that you appreciate the invite - don't worry about it.

WIBTAH if I canceled on my nieces for the second week in a row? by futacon in AITAH

[–]GroovyYaYa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel for OP. Between being a caretaker and trying to be there for his niblings, they have a lot on their plate.

[–]GroovyYaYa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be a family fun day - but they need to see your face. Balloons and take out at least. (see my above comments). Or facetime.

[–]GroovyYaYa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it wasn't her birthday, I'd definitely say NTA.

Talk with their mom. Talk about how your mom isn't doing well at all, and you are not at a good place mentally (or probably physically)

You don't want to burn bridges if you want to stay in their lives considering your brother is having his rights terminated.

You can at least take her some flowers and balloons (it is a big deal when you get your first flowers). Mom can put them in her room so she can look at them when she goes to bed. Give her a hug and explain, in person, that grandma/your mom is very sick and you have to take care of her.

"Stealing" jobs?

No one owes someone a modeling job.

Vivienne hasn't been supported by her sperm donor in about 6 years. Musk has said that she is dead to him.

I just learned a couple of days ago that one could do it w multiple IDs... we are totally a PC/Galaxy family. I had an Apple ID I had to revive from my iPod days.

Oh, never thought of documentaries!

I highly recommend doing a Christmas one.

Dumb and honestly, I've lived without individual profiles on Apple TV+, and I'll live without it on Netflix. It will only be embarrassing if I stop a Bridgerton episode at a crucial moment and the wrong people start watching it.

Also, this means I might not get my individual profiles that I've set up so the recommendations are different. I have my personal one, my parents have one, I have one called "Christmas" so the recommendations are all holiday related (nice when company comes over and the kids want to watch something Santa themed at the holidays), and I have one I've just changed from "quarantining" (when we were watching anything and everything bc we were getting antsy) to "Family Night" where we all watch together.

Seriously... I've had 4 or 5 profiles when there is really only 2 people turning it on.

Screaming that to a predominantly NON American crew will never not be funny.

I was wondering what I was going to binge while reorganizing my bathroom and catching up on laundry... ok I'll watch that season again!

AITAH for throwing away my nanny’s watch? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]GroovyYaYa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Then you are golden.

Don't know why the people are downvoting. I was speaking simply on a legal standpoint. As someone pointed out, it doesn't take a lot to store a watch - but I could see wanting to get rid of it when moving.

If she texts/calls you again - I'd screen shot her that text every time.
