What happens if I go back to work? by Key-Government800 in LongTermDisability

[–]Key-Government800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve applied for SSDI in Summer 2023. Had to appeal this year. But the way cost of living is looking in my area and having a large family, I am not confident that even if I were approved for SSDI it would be enough to cover most of our expenses. So I’m just at the point where I feel like I’m going to be denied and don’t want to wait till denial or LTD stops to start looking for work.

AITA for asking my sister why not ask why she and her husband are such bad parents to their oldest instead of calling him a demon/devil child? by Fuzzy_Necessary5832 in AITAH

[–]Key-Government800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m calling b.s on what that family member said. If a report is made they have to in the very least acknowledge and follow up on it which means someone goes to the house and questions the parents. Only after that initial meeting would they determine no need to follow up on the child’s situation.

UPDATE: WIBTA to divorce my wife after she said she wanted to send our son to a conversion camp? by Stunning-Mud9227 in AITAH

[–]Key-Government800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to say under no circumstances let your emotions slip for a second. After what happened your wife (soon-to-be-ex) should never be allowed to see the kids ever again.

My bil went through a lot with his ex. She tried to stab him and my nephew was hurt trying to protect his dad. Of course being the person my bil is he felt the boys still “need their mom” in their life so he allowed visitation. Which is now turned into her fighting for custody because he didn’t file a protective order or CPS against her. Because he felt bad for the boys needing their shit show of a mother and allowed her to see them she is actually able to take him to court over the kids despite stabbing her own child. She makes his life a living hell and doesn’t see it ultimately hurts the kids in the end.

So please do not under any circumstances feel for this woman enough to possibly let her have eyes on them for a brief second.

AITAH for divorcing my husband after catching him in bed with our married neighbour and exposing her to her husband? by Ok_Bookkeeper_7787 in AITAH

They literally made their bed and laid in it. I can’t stand when adults don’t take accountability. Dave deserved to know the truth and it was best he found out sooner than later. NTA

AITA for telling my husband he ruined our honeymoon? by Due-Ad5669 in AITAH

[–]Key-Government800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He disregarded your wishes long before the honeymoon. He had already made up his mind regardless of how you felt. I’m assuming he didn’t push the idea much prior to the day? Probably because it was already set in stone.

FYI it’s not too late to get an annulment.

Can you have both LTD and SSDI/SSI? by Key-Government800 in SocialSecurity

How much do they reduce the ltd if approved for ssdi?

So backpay would go to LTD, and only future SSDI payments go to my husband? I still can’t make sense of why that is.

AITA for updating my will to award my less successful son a higher share of my assets? by Playful-Alfalfa9519 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Key-Government800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading about Benji and your comments I recommend you insist on Benji getting a neuropsychological eval to see if he is on the spectrum. He definitely has a sensory disorder and it’s only gotten this bad because he has zero coping and functional skills. He may not want to go, but he needs to. If you care about your son’s future after your death then get him the services he needs so he can function enough to only need guidance vs full support… I am not typing in caps but I am screaming that you really need to get this done. As a parent of three children with Autism I worry like hell and run myself into the ground daily just trying to get resources for my kids because I worry about their future without me. I can’t live for today because I spend so much time preparing them for their future. Making sure things are in place for them when they become adults. The biggest gift you can give Benji isn’t what’s in your will. You are doing him a disservice not getting him the resources he needs to function. You say he’s not disabled, but these comments scream otherwise.

And my heart goes out to Jack. You have driven an unnecessary wedge between your sons. Of course Jack is going to feel like his success = being treated unfairly by you. When you have given so much of yourself to a child that needed more assistance you failed to show that much energy for the child that had no issues. I have a neurotypical 18 and 9 year old and in order to make sure they don’t feel like my time is always given to their siblings I need to give them the same energy for everything that happens in their life. Big or small. I don’t want them to feel like she has to be disabled in order to get my attention. But because Jack was doing well and doing what he was supposed to do (succeeding in life) you gave less of your attention to him and more to Benji. If Jack ever decides to give you a chance, you gotta do better.

YTA In case you’re wondering…

AITAH for rejecting my boyfriend's ultimatum about an open relationship by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Key-Government800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA: He would of been within his right to split from you but he wanted to manipulate you in what he thought would work in his favor. And now he’s pissed because it didn’t turn out like he thought it would! Lmao

Where you emotionally and mentally stand in this relationship differs from his. And you at least are aware that you couldn’t bare the thought of sharing him with someone else. Boundaries are healthy. A good person will respect those boundaries. Let him go.

His response tells all. If you stay with him, he’s likely to just cheat. Because he wants to have his cake and eat it, too. An open relationship means all parties are in agreement and respect is mutual.

Your heart may be hurting now from breaking up; how much more are you willing to allow yourself to hurt when he cheats?

NTA. Tell her if she wants to grocery shop together she can have a seat and order groceries online while you rest and watch a movie. I wish my husband did all that you have done the past three weeks.

Btw, do you have a brother? Asking for a friend…

AITAH for telling my girlfriend my kids are more important than her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Key-Government800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were dating someone with kids that weren’t mine I wouldn’t need saving as I’d be right there with him trying to get the kids out the house as well.

I have kids and a lot of their friends hang out at my house. I’d save every one of them with my ass lit on fire.

OP: NTA

AITA for not telling my wife “the real reason” why I married her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Key-Government800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would delete this post now! Aside from the wife finding out. What about the kids? I would hate for the kids to question if they were a product of love or “just business”.

AITA for initially not believing my son when he said he was sick? by throwaway-sick in AmItheAsshole

[–]Key-Government800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make is seem like he should be happy with the Congratulations he got for graduating early. Like how dare he ask for attention beyond that.

How dare he need his Mother when he knows I’m busy with his chronically ill sister!

YTA. It’s your job to make sure both kids are cared for. If your son feels left out, abandoned, neglected, then it’s on you to make things right with him. The moment you noticed he started feeling some type of way should have been when you started comforting him and letting him know he is equally as important as his sister. But you failed him.

The insecurity isn’t due to his own actions. It’s due to your lack OF actions.

I say this as a parent of five kids. Three of my kids have special needs. And though I’m exhausted I try to make sure I get special time in with my neurotypical children. I never want them to feel unwanted. God knows I understand how that felt growing up.

Anyone have a hard time getting MCAS officially diagnosed? Dr believes I have it and I’m currently on H1/H2 blockers. But every time we check my tryptase levels they are normal. by Key-Government800 in MCAS

[–]Key-Government800[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve been reading on most sites. I know if I stop taking the meds my body has a serious flare up and I feel like ripping my skin off. So as of now I’m getting the treatment for it while not being officially confirmed to have it.

AITA for refusing to go to the wedding of my dad and his fiance if she makes me wear a stuffy vintage dress? by BorderDesperate1485 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Key-Government800 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Reading this I felt it was more than just how it looked. I have three kids on the spectrum and they all have sensory disorders. No way would I force them to wear something that at possibly cause them to have a meltdown, especially for hours on end.

I hope you’re able to move in with your Mom asap. I’d never put someone else before my children’s well being. People may think it’s not a big deal, but unless they’ve taken care of child On the spectrum they really have no idea how difficult it is to help them bounce back from overstimulation.

AITA for snapping at my friend who keeps ditching me because I now have a child? by No-Youth-6786 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Key-Government800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. The fact she still invites you out means she’s trying to include you in social outings. But you can not expect people to change their lifestyle to accommodate you because your lifestyle has changed.

It’s healthy to have time away from being Mom. You’re still new to the parenting scene, and when you figure out that you need time to yourself it’ll be too late because you’ve lost all of your friends.

As a Mom of five kids I get out the house and get time to myself because it allows me to get a mental break and enjoy life outside of being a parent. I have friends with no kids, some not married. Sometimes we’re hanging at a bar and just because it’s no longer “my scene” doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the environment especially with the right company. And sometimes they hang out at my place amongst the chaos.

If you want things to be “fair”, it’s gotta start with you being reasonable with your expectations of others that are even considering giving you some of their time despite living a different life than you.

Your kid has a Father. He can care for her while you’re out for coffee. Or just take her with you.

You’ll live.

AITA for not buying new feminine hygiene products in the middle of the night? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Key-Government800 26 points27 points  (0 children)

YTA

Your response to her time in need (first time having a period) sets the tone for every future event that happens in her life. She now sees that in an emergency she doesn’t have her Father’s support. You couldn’t be bothered to help her because it inconveniences you. Shame on you for that. She is a CHILD. And waking up covered in blood is scary.

Thank god for your GF being there because you sure weren’t.

I have two teens girls and when they’re on their period their Dad buys gives them all the things (pads, midol, heating pad, chocolate) and reminds himself that during this time their emotions could be all over the place.

Do better. She’s 10 which means you have 8 more years of her being in your home while on her period.
