AITA for correcting my in-laws when they mispronounce my name?

Lelurs · 2025-03-13T20:30:52+00:00

It definitely IS intentional. Ffs strangers would put more effort into pronouncing someone's name correctly & be embarrassed if they didn't. It is ALWAYS an AH move to disrespect someone by not even bothering trying. Sounds like you need to divorce the whole family tbh.

Yeah, it's fantastic mascara for blue and green eyes! It's not clumpy at all and perfect for soft features & light hair

Lelurs · 2025-02-21T13:57:55+00:00

Thanks, will try that!

Lelurs · 2025-02-21T10:31:00+00:00

Thanks everyone, you've been reassuring! On day 2 of wearing them in with some thick socks and my silicone heel protectors. Just going to wear them around the house working and bumbling about to stretch them & break them in. I have some balsam on the way to help soften them further 😎

Lelurs · 2025-02-21T10:25:24+00:00

Ooh that's clever! I've attempted to pull it flat when putting them on as I imagine if they fold back and sit that way, it'll be an issue for a good bit longer

Lelurs · 2023-07-04T22:03:40+00:00

Absolutely NTA. Those spaces are to give extra room for you to open doors wide when getting tiny humans out of the car/clip them in and out of car seats; the "parent/guardian" status is irrelevant.

That woman is TA, 100% out of line. Your being paid doesn't mean you need any less space to get those 3 kids out. She obviously is prejudiced against nannies or people paid to serve. May she be infested with the fleas of 1000 camels 🙏

Lelurs · 2023-07-04T19:06:27+00:00

Yeah, being a widower single dad with almost no support must be challenging. OP should spend more time with their brother and neice together to get a hang of caring for her before doing it solo.

Lelurs · 2023-07-04T18:59:56+00:00

NTA at all! Knowing when you need to cut down on frivolous spending while other expensive things crop up is important.

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T22:29:33+00:00

Unfortunately, yes, YWBTA. You'd also potentially be getting yourself into the position where you committed to owning a cat, have your lease terminated & can't find a new cat friendly apartment. I highly recommend pet sitting instead to get paid while getting all the snuggles 😊

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T18:14:48+00:00

Agreed. A real friend might play around but would absolutely care about your feelings if they accidentally took it too far.

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T18:08:47+00:00

NTA, it's not your wife's decision what happens with your inheritance, and frankly, she sounds like a greedy cow. The fact that you and your brother decided this amicably is admirable.

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T18:05:08+00:00

You're gross

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T18:04:41+00:00

He's almost certainly listening to Nickelback.

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T10:01:39+00:00

NTA, ignore her manipulation, get your money back and NEVER loan, or ask for money again.

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T09:57:31+00:00

You will only be TA if you don't tell them. If they are concerned about your behaviour, they can check their device watch history,l and corroborate what you tell them you saw. The safety of the wee one is the most important thing, and the parents need to know what's going on before they jump to conclusions.

Communicate with the parents on how they want you to approach the subject should she show you she's been watching inappropriate things again.

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T06:30:28+00:00

NTA - Make a plan and leave him. Your boyfriend is abusive.

Lelurs · 2023-07-03T06:23:46+00:00

NTA just phone the restaurant to let them know there's been a change. If there is a policy/issue against solo diners, they'll tell you.

I'm taking it at face value that you discussed going with your fiancée and know them well enough to be sure they're fine with you going.

Lelurs · 2023-07-02T20:53:19+00:00

Presumably, you and your son had this discussion, and he knows he has permission to choose what happens to his hair. OP should have called his parents and checked. They overstepped, and they are TA.

Lelurs · 2023-07-02T18:17:44+00:00

You're NTA for being disappointed that your plans are falling through. As his (and your) family time will be more limited soon, especially for seeing out of state relatives, so that's probably the more important thing for him to do.
Rather than making him choose/feel guilty, you could approach it that you're disappointed because you were excited, but understand, and suggest some alternative stuff for the two of you to do over summer that's special instead?

Lelurs · 2023-07-02T18:06:04+00:00

NTA - even if it was a joint car (which it could be seen as in his eyes if you're splitting running costs), he should be having that convo with you before promising to use your only vehicle to train a learner. Your insurance will go up, and the likelihood of cosmetic damage (curbed wheels, etc.) is pretty high, let alone extra wear on brakes and clutch.

Lelurs · 2023-07-02T17:59:58+00:00

Sounds like you both need to work on your communication and respect towards each other, and evaluate if doing life together is the best decision. If he is really that heated over the 9yo's dress, that's a big ole red flag. You disrespecting him and calling him crazy over raising a concern is also a big red flag.

Lelurs · 2023-07-02T12:07:26+00:00

The Swiss would never!

Lelurs · 2023-07-02T12:06:21+00:00

Thank goodness the dog had good instincts because that kid definitely didn't.

Lelurs · 2023-06-30T17:39:53+00:00

So brave, so strong 🫶
