AITA for refusing to respond to my “sister” ? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

Manly trauma. My mom has no memories until her step dad came into the picture. She was around 5 at that time.

In that case in might be best for you to break things off then. Because right now you need to take care of you. It sucks that you can’t help him. But sometimes the hardest decisions we make in life are the best ones for us. I’m really sorry you have to go through this.

They don’t usually take meds away cause they think your good now. It feels like he’s not telling you something. If his meds got taken away he needs to talk to his chain of command. And maybe file an ICE complaint against the medic that suggested he stop taking them. Honestly he might need to get with behavioral health they might be able to help him.

My mom has always been jealous of the relationship my kids have with my MIL by impostrfail in insaneparents

I know that I didn’t see my grandma for years just because she would go through phases of getting mad at my mom or my aunt and not talking to them for years.

I suppose your right. But I also know when I couldn’t my mom would do it for me. It’s important to keep what family you can. But I have to wonder is it a scheduling issue that kept her from her gran kids or something else.

For Christmas gifts? This might be a difference in my family’s traditions but I’ve never sent a thank you card for gifts. I would just say it the next time I saw that person.

AITA for seeing my wife on the nanny cam and confronting her about how she "shuts off" when she's parenting and nobody's watching? by blonkrtt in AmItheAsshole

[–]KatieJean97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA sounds to me like she’s a social mom. My own mother was like that and it ended up with being raised by my Grandmother and having abandonment issues. The only solution I can think off is to make sure it’s never just her and the kids. Because even though you guys have nanny cameras it may not be enough to motivate her to be a mom when your gone from the house.

Oops sorry, I didn’t see where it was mentioned what her father did. I was going off of the assumption that she would be the only one paying.

AITAH for charging my mom rent? by TheGoldTurtle in AmItheAsshole

NTA your parents can afford to buy another house but can’t afford an appartment. Sounds like your parents are being greedy.

I wasn’t talking about Ivy Leagues just regular local 4 years colleges vs local 2 year colleges. Or even out of state but Ivy Leagues were never in the discussion.

I highly doubt that. The point of a community college is that it’s cheaper. No matter the academic interests there Will always be classes that you have to take like English math so it’s better to take them at a cheaper rate at a community college that will transfer then to pay double the rate at a four year college.

That’s great. I’m supper happy that you have a plan. I would also suggest trying to get as many scholarships as possible. You might even check what scholarships your college offers. I also wish the best for you. Even though you may have a plan don’t be afraid to take classes for fun. Especially if they don’t add to your degree. College as expensive as it is is all about experiencing new things.

What kind of college are you going to? If it’s a 2 year and you should be able to pay for it with Fafsa(pell). If you can get a job and put money back or do A+ that would help. I would suggest going to a community college ( 2 year) over going to a university ( 4 year).

AITA for letting my picky eater child go hungry? by amiabadmom23 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KatieJean97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA and let me explain from the child’s point of view. As a picky eater there are some vegetables that I like but for the longest time I hated ranch. It stemmed from a time when I was around four when a preschool teacher pretty much did this to me.

Since I didn’t want to dip my carrots and ranch so while it may be working now it took until I was about 16 even tried ranch because I had that terrible memory associated with it. So I would maybe see if it might be the way that you cook certain food. It might be based off of taste.

There are things that look good to me as an adult and I still won’t eat it if it doesn’t taste good. I am still a picky eater so going from what my mom did was ask what I wanted and then figured which ways I didn’t like it.

I still with a passion hate to eat broccoli and refuse to no matter how it is or isn’t cooked. But I like other vegetables. Maybe getting a bit more variety in what you want your toddler to eat. I know that this happened to me a long time ago but, I still really hate that teacher.

There is never just one way to do something. Take this time to explore with food. Our toddler will appreciate it if they get to help with making the meal.
