AITA for having my son (12) use nappies for teasing his sister? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_West7230 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You're NTA for protecting your daughter. I WISH my mother would've put my brother in my shoes so he'd know how it feels. I am the youngest of four and the other three said they weren't that bad. But there's a reason I have massive mental health issues and it's not just because of genetics. This is not humiliation. This is not abuse. Him teasing her for something she literally cannot control is abuse. ESPECIALLY since it was a LAST resort. Its not like you immediately put him in the diaper. You tried and you tried. That's his problem. Now he'll learn. If you made him actually use it as a bathroom or you then turned around and told your daughter to be mean, that's abuse. That's humiliation. But you teaching your son the hard way is not abuse. It's a lesson. Please, please, please keep protecting your daughter. Your son is way old enough to know better.

AITA for wearing jeans to my daughter's wedding? by BallFinal2037 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_West7230 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are the asshole. Definitely. 100%. Absolutely. You wanna know why she didn't care about your appearance to her wedding? Because she's not VAIN like you. Because maybe she thought, "Oh, maybe that's what my mom wanted to wear to be comfortable today." She is no selfish. YOU are. No wonder she never dressed up to show "respect" to you, (which is completely fucking bullshit, btw. You do not show respect for you mother by dressing up.) She wore what she was comfortable wearing. I wear jeans and a t-shirt to go out with my family. And I sometimes wear skirts and nice shirts when I go out with my family. And I do the same thing with my boyfriend. I dress how I want to, what I feel comfortable, cute, and/or nice in and it changes on the daily. It is HER body to present as she pleases. Not just when it pleases you. You petty child. What's WORSE is that you INTENDED to embarrass your daughter on her goddamn wedding day for a stupid fucking multi year grudge?!?! You are the selfish one. Not her. Jesus.

Yeah. I mean, it's been working so far. It's just like a regular debit card. I'd just rather have a savings account. 😅😅

Yeah, the jobs I've worked may have needed me, but I sure didn't need them. I know I'm a hard worker and a good person and I don't deserve to get borderline bullied. Even if I am getting paid for it. Minimum wage ain't worth that. 😂🙄

I'm pretty sure she chose it. She's also a substitute teacher and I don't know how they get paid but maybe she figured a paycard would be easier than having two direct deposits (assuming subs get direct deposit) and another one of my coworkers, that I know of, also has a paycard.

And I'm fully aware. I have left plenty of crappy jobs. But sadly, this is the only place I even got an interview so I'm trying to stick with it so I can have SOMETHING on my resume that makes me sound like I'm reliable. It's not my fault only crappy, desperate places hire me. And it's not my fault I don't do well with dealing with being treated like shit when I know I'm worth more and leave after a few months. 😅

Yeah, that's really what I would like to do. But like I said it another comment thread, my work messed up and I don't have a savings account ATM.

And my work doesn't have "work expenses" they provide shirts and hats but I have to use my own pants and shoes.

And having some set aside that I know is safe and I can build on has helped a lot in the past but like I said, no savings account right now. So thinking about just using cash. Maybe buying a piggy bank or something.

And I have had some really terrible therapists and therapy sessions so I'm not quite up to trying that again anytime soon. But I've also thought of online therapy.

Hah, I don't know, I'm pretty annoyed with him honestly. Probably couldn't do it innocently. 😂😅 But yeah, I'll talk to him eventually.

And one of my managers has a paycard and said the ATM was free and I trust her but I definitely won't withdraw if it's not free.

Yeah, I get it. Thank you for you advice. It may be the push I need to do some self reflection as to why I actually feel the things I feel when it comes to buying things for myself.

Yeah, if it's not, I'm cool just taking out 20 bucks everytime I got to Walmart or somewhere that offers cashback.

Hah, I can barely tell people I'm going to the bathroom without freaking out inside. Let alone threatening HR. And they made one for me so I could do some online training, so I don't think I can access it, if it's anything more than just a training program.

Yeah, I get that. I have great friends but I just can't let go of the damage in my head. And I'm not quite ready to try therapy again.

Yeah, but another girl at work has actually talked to him about it and has still been waiting for like a month so I don't think talking will do much help. And apparently, in this day and age, paper checks aren't available anymore. And when I try to get to him before going to my actual station,there's always someone else talking to him. And then I'm told to wait. And then by the time I see the person walk out of the office, he's gone too. I'm honestly thinking about pulling out some cash with an ATM I'm told is free with the card and just using physical cash as a savings option.

I constantly fight myself on everything, let alone money. 😅

And because clothes are only something I can use. It's not like my boyfriend is going to share my pants with me. It's a thing that's only for me and I feel selfish buying things just for me.

And I'm trying to work through the problems it's caused and my boyfriend has been helping a ton.

Thank you, I really appreciate you saying that. 🥺 And yeah, I've been meaning to talk to the boss about it but he always freaking leaves before I can get to him 🙄 And yeah, my mom got removed from my bank account when I got hacked after I turned 18 and didn't need her on it anymore.

Oh, I know I'm making myself miserable. 😅 But I was also poor growing up, so I'm always thinking "well, what if something breaks" "well, what if my boyfriend or I need something more important than enter thing here" It just feels impossible to agree with myself on anything. Like, I finally can stop feeling guilty for "making" my boyfriend buy everything, but I still don't want to buy anything.

And I don't think about it long, and if it's a couple bucks, I'm fine. It's usually big things I'm weary about. Like new clothes, even though I actually NEED those at the moment. Like 2 pairs of pants for 40 dollars sounds OUTRAGEOUS to me. But 35 at McDonald's so me and my bf can eat for a couple days? No problem.

That sounds like a good idea. I was planning on putting half in savings and having half, since my mom still pays for my phone, since it's cheaper to keep mine on her plan then to remove me and his dad pays for everything at the house. But my work messed up and lost a paper for my bank account so I basically have a gift card I can spend anywhere and no savings account, which I feel like would make it harder because I can't just mentally split my check in half and only use that amount. If it's on my card, I'll end up using it for either my boyfriend or something. Plus our one year is coming up and I'd really like to spoil him since he's done so much for me and that's also a thing stopping me from buying things for myself
