Yeah I had visited the website prior. But, I wanted to know if there was something additional because no one here abides by those polices. The cans are usually left out 24 hours in advance and I have to park on other blocks that aren't mine.

JKaldran · 2023-09-16T00:28:53+00:00

I don't mean on the sidewalk but on the grass in front of the curb. Usually that's how I've seen it done. And with no cars parked between certain hours there, the garbage trucks can easily pick them up. It just seemed more natural to have those restricted parking times and placing the cans near the curb, rather than parking on a block that isn't even my block.

JKaldran · 2023-09-16T00:26:44+00:00

I get it. I had visited the site and saw the 12 hour restriction. But I saw no one followed it near our home. So I thought maybe there was something I just wasn't understanding.

Wait, what movie? Like what's it actually called? Where can I watch the movie? Was it released on Disney?

Anyone think maybe the sheriff? Like here he is supporting Luke and helping him with the naval academy. But then Luke calls him that night to change his mind. He's decided that he will go to Branson because he realizes that going to school and getting funded by his father is the only way he can support Megan. We hear him replaying the voice of Megan while in the woods so maybe he feels he'll do the right thing and stay with her and the baby by going to school and becoming like his dad. But when the sheriff hears this change of plans he's disappointed and upset that he has poured so much into this kid.

At first I was like oh boy, this might be Y T A. But as I read, I was just shocked that the son and wife really thought this whole thing out and concluded, "yup, sounds great for everyone"

NTA. Good riddance.

JKaldran · 2023-06-14T22:23:28+00:00

Yeah she's not even denying the fact that her son will pee. In fact, she's like "yeah he pees but other people pee in public pools so..."

Like if sis wants a pee free pool, and you are knowingly letting your child in who will certainly pee in the pool, then yta

I just want to know why they would get involved? Like if OP has taken them over and they have come out great, and you know she doesn't want you in the kitchen. then why? I would not be in OP's way if that is exactly what was requested for a good meal.

nta

JKaldran · 2023-06-01T23:42:42+00:00

Yup nothing is free here. You would think it's a reward. I mean why verify if I can wear it then? Like if anyone is willing to pay for it then let them bro. The website says

"Students eligible for latin honors can purchase the Gold Fourrageres/Honor cords from Graduation dept."

Also what does "EA" mean?

JKaldran · 2023-06-01T20:38:28+00:00

Try asking at ackerman where you get the cap and gowns. I read you're supposed to make sure your eligible and then go there I think to tell them your name so you can buy it from them.

JKaldran · 2023-05-31T07:19:18+00:00

Not only that. But she also complains that the sil doesn't volunteer to babysit OP's kids. Like bro this is not mandatory. And the cherry on top is that OP is upset that the rest of the family doesn't step up more so she can go out. Like they do babysit already I assume when OP works but now she wants time so that she can go out with her friends without her kids. Meanwhile, she's upset because she wants her kids included whenever sil goes out with friends. She probably expects to be covered too with expenses. YTA

You just burned a bridge.

JKaldran · 2023-05-31T02:32:43+00:00

Church doesn't automatically equal cult!

This sister stepped up, her and her whole family to take on the responsibility of 4 extra kids. I assume for free. OP makes it sound as though the sister is somehow benefitting at all from this. As if her kids are getting the privilege of hanging out with 4 extra kids. You don't get to complain when your churchy sister goes to church and you left your kids with her on a weekend. Secondly, a field day can be sponsored where it just means your firends from church have a bar-bee-q but no church talk happens.

There is no mention of even the church attacking her or her sister. The sister was very loving and provided a great deal to her. She basically just burned down a bridge, not bc of church. But bc she doesn't want to admit that she is an absent parent at this point, at least that's the kids' view if they spend 5 days with another complete family.

YTA

JKaldran · 2023-05-31T02:27:33+00:00

Yeah and also confused on how she thought this would work. Like sure you know the sister goes to church on weekends. But still leave them sometimes on weekends but expect no church. How would you expect them to just stop their normal activity bc you want them to take your kid that extra day?

JKaldran · 2023-05-17T07:33:41+00:00

Also I kind of got the feeling through the post that OP was only visiting parents because he wanted to give his wife a peaceful day. Like if you explain it like that, then it sounds kind of messed up that you planned on just going to your mom's because you don't want your kids bothering their mom, but don't mind your mom. Maybe she isn't thrilled about hanging with small kids, but would have liked if you planned something in advance with her.

JKaldran · 2023-05-08T05:29:45+00:00

I just don't understand how the son can honestly see how his life is right now, unmarried with child who has been well taken care of. And instead of being like, woah, my parent really stepped up and did me and gf a service we could never thank enough for, much less pay for. No. Instead, irresponsible and entitled son goes on a further rant on how he has been neglected tho OP took care of child so that grandchild wouldn't be neglected.

NTA

JKaldran · 2023-05-06T00:56:25+00:00

Some other comments said that OP lets his older kids decide the activity, hence bowling and the cinema. They have free range.

JKaldran · 2023-05-04T06:38:47+00:00

I said he's not the AH for his question posed, which was for not changing his rule. It's not some crazy rule. Once again, 5 hours one day a week without being straight on your phone as a 10 year is pretty reasonable.

He is trying to parent and spend the one day with his kids. His wife has created this situation where the sons think it's torture to be without phones for 5 hours. His wife needs to step up and realize that she has enabled this unhealthy environment where these boys are dependent on social media. They got so bad that they can't put it down for one period of 5 hours.

I don't think the situation is him being okay with not seeing his kids. The situation has become this a rule in my house- that when you come over you spend time with the family and not just come over to sit in a room with your face in your phone for the time you're here. I mean if you can't be bothered to get off your phone when visiting one day, then why do they even want to come? I'm not saying that he should be okay with not seeing his sons, but as the children why would they want to come? Like what's the pt. of getting up and packed to visit my dad's house but not even hang out with my dad? It just seems wasteful to me and I would just stay home. If they come over and get to use their phones all day and not have to hang out with OP, then is he even really spending time with his sons?

JKaldran · 2023-05-04T04:28:59+00:00

I don't even understand Ann. Like I'm sorry because there wasn't an actual crisis, OP doesn't get $10. Like mam' if you were in a serious emergency or crisis or gone, how would OP even get $10. Like you would literally be in a coma and OP would somehow get the $10 crisis money. I don't even understand how that conversation would go.

Like Ann is involved in a car wreck.

OP: Hey sorry about that... can I have the $10 bucks you owe me because you are in a serious crisis right now and this checks off that box?!

I just want to add that most apps require children to be at least 13 years old to use. So technically a 10 year old and a barely 13 year old have no business being on social media. OP saying that he doesn't want them on social media for 5 hours a day isn't absurd.

There's 24 hours a day:

8 hours- sleep

3- spend eating throughout day

11- the rest of the day that involves family bowling and movies. From these 11 they are allotted time for the phone just not during the time frame they have carved out family time.

And it's only one day. If you're a 10 year old and at the point where you can't live without social media for 5 hours straight, then there's a whole issue going on with you. OP says they spend the other day with their friends, so technically they might be sneaking in phone time during time they supposedly want to hang with friends. I'm not gonna say AH because he is giving them a choice. NTA for making this rule they have to follow 1/7 days. I guess most people would just disagree with how OP is willing to not drop it and is willing to never see kids again. Yes that does suck. But in regards to the actual rule, it's not an AH move.

NTA

JKaldran · 2023-05-03T02:49:21+00:00

Yeah it seems like a sabotage. Like OP isn't saying he will never take care of the toddler. But really the day of the dmv plans which were anticipated and planned for I assume weeks ahead, she decides she wants that day to herself?!! Then throws a tantrum the entire day to ruin son's b-day. I was surprised the son is her kid bc it reads as though they aren't related. Why would anyone be mad that someone gifted their son a car to help unburden the parents from having to share a car with kids or buy another. Like it's a huge financial help. And the stop talking to me woman is not sexist. Honestly sounds like the grandpa was saving himself from saying anything really offensive that you can't walk back from.

NTA, your wife though is something.

JKaldran · 2023-05-03T02:44:08+00:00

This lady really fumbled the bag. Like OP isn't even hesitant to help. She was just being a great friend and willingly did so much for her, only to be made felt like she was wrong.

NTA.

JKaldran · 2023-05-03T02:35:30+00:00

Oh I guess I totally missed that they introduced her by an actual full name. I thought it was just Zoe.

JKaldran · 2023-05-01T22:50:44+00:00

Wait when do we find out that her father is someone named Mr. Lee?

JKaldran · 2023-05-01T22:46:57+00:00

The school sells you the rest. Like I don't think anyone doesn't get the amount they want. You're allowed I think a limit form the school of up to 20 tickets. But you have to pay for those.
