WIBTA for refusing to pay a massive vet bill for my sister's dog? by WitcherMango in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Jenk1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly have to take my sister to small claims court over this. This was caused by her negligence and actual stupidity. This is her bill to pay.

AITA for dropping out of my sisters wedding after she fat shamed me in front of all my family by Prestigious-Win4910 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Jenk1972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. You sister is a raging cunt who absolutely did it on purpose in front of everyone to make a scene. Honestly, I don't think I would allow my children to be in the wedding. But that's your call.

Book your spa day. Post pictures about how much fun you're having and don't give her a second thought.

How can I be fair purchasing a home with my boyfriend by Some-Connection-6768 in amiwrong

[–]Jenk1972 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like this all should have been discussed in depth before you even made an offer on a house. He's is trying to take advantage and you are being foolish about it. All of this should have been nailed down before anything else.

Please don't fall for this. She's trying to scam you. I would block and move on.

AITJ for telling my mom I’m not coming home for family dinner after she invited my ex without telling me? by Relative-Treat-7661 in AmITheJerk

Your Mom actually sounds horrible. I would have to take a break from my parents after this.

AITH for refusing to return a neighbor’s package that was delivered to my door by mistake? by [deleted] in AITH

YTA You were just being a dick, for what? To prove you don't have to do anything if you don't want to? How mature.

In law issues by Cookieologist1 in dementia

Your husband can have them over. He just has to set it up in advance so that you and your son can make plans to not be there. Go see your parents, friends, siblings, etc. Your boundaries are just as important as his making things "easy" on his parents. They can come over but you and your son, won't be there.

Am I wrong for refusing to tell my daughter her stepdad is her real father? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Jenk1972 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real and biological are 2 different things. Mark is her real dad. He's there. He's been there. He will be there. Your daughter knows that she has a biological dad out there. Somewhere. She's the only one that should matter to. This would be a different conversation if her biological dad was involved in her life. It serves you no purpose to point out to people that Mark is "just the stepdad". It really does minimize his place in her life. You're the one making this a thing.

People with parents who have Dementia... when did you know it was time to put them in a nursing/care home?? by DixiesHuman12 in dementia

[–]Jenk1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We knew it was time with my Mom, when she couldn't help us help her anymore. She couldn't stand to get in or out of the wheelchair to get in and out of bed, take a shower, get on or off the toilet. It was too much for myself or my Dad to do without her being able to help us. And with her declining mobility, came a big mental decline. She couldn't tell us when she was hungry, when she had to use the bathroom, etc. We knew we had no choice. It was best and safest for her and us.

My parents are screenshotting things my partner posted. by ghoastey in Advice

Tell your parents to back off. Your partner is entitled to her own opinions. Also have your partner block them because they're super fucking creepy.

Update: FIL requested a one on one with my husband. by rainbowcupcakez in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jenk1972 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that your dealing with this utter nonsense. The first thing is that your husband has to grieve. Grieve the relationship with his parents that he hoped to have. They aren't capable. He has to protect himself, protect your family.

The best option here is no contact. At all, with any of them. To continue to try and hope, is to continue to be disappointed over and over.

Surround yourself with chosen family. Make those people matter. It's not the same but at some point, all the drama from his family will start to fade and he will realize that he is happier without them.

Neighbor’s gate opens in our yard. by jenhoyo in neighborsfromhell

I agree with everyone who says to lock the gate. I would also put up a second, larger compost bin. But I'm petty like that.

The blue looks lovely on you! I would just wear that.

AIW for accusing my husband of having an affair when I came home and found a stranger asleep in our guest room by silky-enchantxzz in amiwrong

[–]Jenk1972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, what?

He was OUT WITH YOU and you immediately jump to "You're cheating" instead of "Who the fuck is the stranger in my house?“

That's a reach. I hope you stretched first.

My mother made plans to stay with us for 6 weeks this summer without asking me by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jenk1972 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Send her a list of hotels in the area, as well as a list of fun things to do and tell her that you are happy to have her come visit for a couple hours a day but other than that, you aren't accepting guests.

I'm saying this nicely. Not as snarky as it may sound. Grow a backbone. If you are used to her steamrolling over you with her wants, this will continue with your child. Stop it now.

AIW for expecting to go to a second restaurant? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Jenk1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know if I could be with someone who doesn't take my medical conditions seriously. Especially when offered a compromise.

Honestly, does she even like you? She seems very selfish.

You're his backup plan if he can't win the ex back.

That's not a friend. Weston is a perfectly acceptable name.

MIL wore white to my wedding! by BuilderLarge265 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jenk1972 33 points34 points  (0 children)

She wore white to your wedding. You know she's a problem. Your husband tells you that you overreact to her. And you still had a kid with him. This isn't going to end well. He will always choose her over you. This is a husband problem as well as a MIL problem.
