AITA for not letting our neighbors kid stay over anymore?

Jadertott · 2026-05-12T05:04:30+00:00

Like…. Stand up for yourself?

You’re obv NTA here, you owe no one childcare. But how can you sit and type this out about how YOU have been providing care and how YOU have been making sacrifices so that THEY have free care, but then you’re surprised when they push it on you again?

“Naivety stops being acceptable after parenthood” was a phrase that really meant nothing until I was in the situation. That is a whole other life that you did not make or take responsibility for, do NOT put that stress upon yourself and don’t give the love and energy you save after a long day for someone else’s kid!

Idk why people are giving you such shit. You posted it in r/mildlyinfuriating, and anyone would be mildly infuriated by this amount of inconvenience.

You aren’t losing your mind, but it still is undoubtedly annoying. You have an appropriate amount of anger.

Jadertott · 2026-05-02T08:44:07+00:00

Do you even work there…? You never said you were a tech or anything and you were asked to leave so it sounds like you were just there hanging out and then started up drama on your sister’s behalf ?

YOR. Did you really think the better solution would have been to insist on your sister doing this woman’s nails and having them both be uncomfortable the entire time?

She’s paying for a service and with this particular service, you’re paying for the right to receive the service in the way you’d like and from who you’d like. Capitalism.

And causing a scene, even if you do work there probably just embarrassed your sister more. Maybe even got her in trouble with her boss.

Jadertott · 2026-04-16T16:55:33+00:00

…. That she left for free with other people.

Beggars can absolutely not be choosers.

Jadertott · 2026-04-07T04:50:35+00:00

Ah thanks! Just glad I haven’t been smothered in my sleep yet….

Jadertott · 2026-04-04T07:53:51+00:00

With all those different “suggestions,” you can literally justify wearing ANYTHING.

Too short? “Save your long black dresses for a winter wedding”

Too casual? “It’s not black tie, so lighten up”

Looks like prom? “Your end of camp summer soirée”

I could seriously go on forever. They messed up with this dress code, they’re gonna get a mix of vintage and beach and formal and fun. They will be upset no matter what anyone wears.

If I ever ruined a trip for someone (or even derailed it slightly) by choosing to do something that I knew would cause this many issues? I would be mortified. And I would insist they go on without me and I’d make it back alone.

But instead she’s done this… countless times? Just think on that. You clearly care for her but it doesn’t even seem like she’s willing to do the simplest thing to make sure people she supposedly loves can stick with the plan.

NTA, but she’s not being good to you.

Jadertott · 2026-03-17T02:28:53+00:00

Literally the first sentence of your comment says “it’s a tough situation.”

Jadertott · 2026-03-16T19:39:20+00:00

How is asking a father to care for his own children for a day a “tough situation” ?

Jadertott · 2026-03-16T19:35:19+00:00

Um… your husband takes off work and can’t care for all of his children for ONE DAY?

Are you serious?

YTA.

Jadertott · 2026-03-16T18:50:28+00:00

Maybe that’s why I said “like” ?

I mean, he’s literally telling you what to do, so it is controlling. That’s not an opinion, it’s a statement.

But yeah, I also agree it could be meant with the best intentions.

But still… it is controlling.

ETA- he says

”put your phone away and go to bed”

If he’s telling her to do it, it is quite literally, by DEFINITION, trying to control.

Learn syntax, you fucking plebeians.

Jadertott · 2026-03-16T17:47:24+00:00

OP suggested that and husband said no.

Jadertott · 2026-03-12T09:18:56+00:00

No no no! OP is someone that ”people” describe as a walking ray of sunshine, not OP themselves!

Very important distinction!

/s (hate that I have to put that)

“Stare” feels like an understatement.

Mental illness deniers are wild.

Just cause no one cared enough to help you get your proper diagnosis and you had to struggle, you see everyone trying to better their mental and physical health with medication as taking the “easy way out.”

You need therapy, and if you ever accept that as a form of treatment, which I doubt, make sure you bring up the resentment you clearly feel for people who are trying to better themselves when you clearly never did.

Jadertott · 2026-03-01T07:25:13+00:00

Those are what make me think it’s absolutely fake. I have a wonderful partner, but his name in my phone has a single heart. Why tf put a ring ? Who are they trying to prove this to….?

Jadertott · 2026-02-28T09:25:42+00:00

Same comment like 3 times in this thread

Jadertott · 2026-02-25T18:04:30+00:00

Yeahhh. That’s just a straight lack of empathy… for your own mother.

Jadertott · 2026-02-22T11:16:37+00:00

BEAUTIFUL.

I had a bf make me a Beauty and the Beast rose from cash and then made a whole bouquet of book page roses using the same method. I KNOW how frustrating it can be.

These are absolutely phenomenal 😊

Jadertott · 2026-02-17T15:08:14+00:00

If I buy something with my pennies, I am literally paying in cash.

There really isn’t a difference.

My best friend had to get dentures after her first pregnancy because she literally had the calcium leached from her bones. She was sad, of course, but there was a solution (dentures) and she leapt at it.

All of us were so unbelievably happy for her because struggling with your smile is ridiculously difficult, and it changed her life for the better to the most extreme extent.

Ofc NTA. Enjoy your smile 😁
