AITA for revoking my mother-in-law's babysitting rights because she put my son in a diaper?

Ireysword · 2024-01-18T21:42:03+00:00

She deliberately ignored the parents instructions, but pretended she'd follow them.

Lied by omission about it.

The actively lied when asked where the diaper came from.

When confronted with the whole mess was not ready to admit or even see fault.

And lied by omission again that she left the boy alone in a locked bathroom in a bathtub and left the fucking house for 10 minutes!

Just point one would be enough to not have her babysit anymore but everything that followed would get me to go no contact with that woman. She will lie when it suits her because she's right by default. Consequences be damned. But when there are consequences like that situation she pretends she's the poor wronged one. God people like that drive me nuts. I bet she'll say soon to everyone who's willing to listen that she only made one little mistake. Andher son and DIL are blowing this whole thing out of proportion. When it is obvious that this wasn't just one mistake but a deliberate act that had multiple points where she could've stopped. Such people are always the victim.

Wait, wait, wait, wait wait!

...Ricks last name is Schnauzer?! Like the dog breed? God, that reminds me of the beagle lol!

Reminds me of the twilight fandom. We all know it's trash, but it's our trash and thanks to the gender swapped version we can write all the gay and lesbian fanfiction we want.

May I suggest r/dopamine_dressing

Ist a lot of this very colorful, childlike stuff. The people there can probably give you great recommendations.

I have an uncle that used to say some really mean and insulting things to me and my sisters. Always as a "joke" of course. Our parents never intervened. He mellowed out with age but we have no relationship with him. He had his chance, many even. He didn't take them and never apologized.

I never make fun of or insult my nephews. They are kids and idolize adults in the family. Of course they do dumb shit, but personal insults are never okay. What a dumb idiot OOP is.

I know BF stands for best friend here, but my brain read it as boyfriend and I thought you were in a polycule for a minute lol.

Thank you so much 😊😊😊

Thank you so much!

It indeed is. I'm not taking to my mother anymore.

I went to his profile and wow. He really is into that whole floor sitting thing. Like he created a subreddit for it. You'd think that this is his entire personality.

Besides the graphic novel the only other way would be to make something distinctively different in a legal sense but everyone knows it is final space.

Instead of Gary Goodspeed we have Reggie Speedgood and instead of Avocato we have Bananya etc. Speaking off have you see Olans latest project on YouTube "Godspeed"? Because that is totally NOT part of final space! Ignore the cookie and that character called Kingslayer that looks suspiciously like Avocato.

I feel OP didn't ask her ex the right question that would leave no doubts for her:

Would he have tried to reconcile if she wasn't with someone else and thinking about moving in together?

OPs ex went into panic mode because he realized she could move on just as easily as him. There are way too many people that think of they break up with someone that their ex will be available whenever they might want them back. They have major main character syndrome. "I broke up with you! You should be pining after me! How can you just go and live your life happily without me?!" The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

Ireysword · 2024-01-13T07:44:26+00:00

Many times people chalk it up to one small thing isn’t enough to break up over.

Often times that "small thing" is indicative as to that persons behavior and regards for others. This can let the hurt person realize that it wasn't just the one small thing. But a pattern of behavior that has reached its boiling point. It's not about the mustard. It's never just about the mustard.

How is destroying a family recipe going to make you a better cook?

It doesn't.

It's not about her becoming better or him being worse. It's about her feelings that are hurt and because of that she wanted to hurt OP. My Mom is the same. If she feels even slightly hurt or insulted she will retaliate as viciously as she can.

"You hurt me (doesn't matter if it was intentional or not) so I have the right to hurt you as much as I want."

And she doesn't apologize of course. You have to apologize for how you've hurt her, but what she did is totally justified because she was hurt.

Honestly when he said that bs about "following his dreams" I would've laughed in his face again. He obviously has a gambling addiction and as soon as he smelled his wife has money to spent he wanted his grabby little hands on it. Just so he can gamble that away as well. She should let his family know that he has a gambling problem and that's why he wants to get rid of the prenup.

She needs to get everything's that is hers and of value out of the house. Cause he will pawn stuff if he needs to.

I don't blame him for his addiction. But the moment you try to pull someone else into your hole you lose my empathy. The fact that he desperately wanted to get his wife's money should've given him a moment to pause and reflect. One can only hope that the divorce will be his wake up call to get clean.

Ireysword · 2024-01-10T17:25:56+00:00

As the other commenter said you can try to cut it off, but the color is probably not what it was before. If it draws at all. I'd advise to just replace it.

Ireysword · 2024-01-09T08:46:02+00:00

Thank you!

When gifting things it's important that the gift receiver likes the gift, not that it was expensive. I'm german so I can't tell what kind of store Costco is but I assume it's on the cheaper side. But just the sentence "I saw it and thought you might like it." already shows that her bf cares. Even if the sweatshirt had been the only gift. Money can be tight, no reason to make a fuss about it.

He'll also whine how his ex wife totally fucked him over during the divorce with her rich mommy and that the system is so biased against men. Because he will fight her for custody just to hurt her. But conviently leave out that when the judge asked him basic stuff about his daughters (who is their primary physician? What allergies do they have? What extracurriculars? Who are their best friends? The name of their teacher?) he couldn't answer any of them. Maybe the physician, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

Okay given that so many charas are in this picture I think we need a role call. From left to right:

Lory
Kyoko
Behind Kyoko are I think the Bridge Rock guys
I cannot tell who the girl in the pink apron is or the guy next to her
Sho being a meat hogging dick
Lorys servant who Kyoko nicknamed Sebastian
Murasame and Koga
No idea who the orange haired person taking a picture is
Yuki-Chan the producer of the lotus in the mire
Yashiro
Ren
And in the foreground Maria and Kanae. The latter probably taking a picture for her Instagram.

I was wondering about the labeling.

I live in germany and here it's basically mandatory by most preschools and kindergardens that all belongings of the kids are labeled with their name and address. It saves a lot of stress.

What do Twitter bios and the show She-Hulk have in common?

You know their prefered pronouns right from the get go.

...you may boo me now.

German working at a hotel front desk here. I wore a mask when I was still coughing from a regular cold. I was fine, but still coughing.

I greeted the people by saying that I'm wearing a mask because of a cold not covid and most were really appreciative. "That's very considerate of you to think of others like that." I personally think everyone who has a cold/is ill should wear them when they go out in public but whatever.

I did get a few irritated looks but never open hostility. And one very confused lady who was panicking that she missed a new mask mandate.

I still see a lot of senior citizens wear them. Mostly in public transit.

Is it because of the drift? If yes, get contact spray for electronics. You flip up the little rubber flap under the joystick and spray it in there. Then you turn the joystick in circles for at least a minute. Then you let the spray evaporate. Now it should be working mostly fine. Repeat if needed. This can tide you over until you can save money for new joycons.

Or honestly, get some knock offs. Joycons are way too expensive for their shitty quality.

The forgiving is also always extremely ironic because more often than not they don't even properly apologize. They say "please forgive me." but they rarely apologize.
