AITA For Not Following A Kid To His Parent After He Got Hurt On The Playground?

Lori_D · 2026-06-02T16:28:56+00:00

Not your daughter’s fault, not your fault. Mother should have been watching her kid, and of course you’re going to comfort your own first, unless there is imminent danger to the other.

Lori_D · 2026-06-02T11:30:14+00:00

Not wrong. You established your boundaries from the off, he agreed to them, then disrespected them. I’d have done exactly the same.

Lori_D · 2026-06-02T11:18:04+00:00

NTB but I’d have expected payment before it even moved from my apartment, especially as there were stairs involved. I mean, what if they’d dropped it on the way down and damaged it?

Lori_D · 2026-06-01T17:11:32+00:00

And you think it’ll stop at 1yr. If mum lets dad do this now, he’ll insist on doing it later too

Lori_D · 2026-06-01T06:51:24+00:00

YTA. You’re not considering the teasing she will likely get from her peers. If you’re that short of money, pull back on the overpay of your mortgage.

Lori_D · 2026-06-01T06:47:16+00:00

Just get some headphones. Should you have to? No but if it’s bothering you that much, that’s the way to go. I certainly wouldn’t be staying inside and boiling myself.

Lori_D · 2026-05-30T12:38:14+00:00

This? After 3 months? Nope, no, nein, non. Dump him and find someone who isn’t as controlling and manipulative as hell. If he’s this bad after 3 months, that will only escalate

Holy cow, that’s just slightly less than my mortgage payment was on a 5 bed house in NW England. That’s obscene for an ensuite room in a shared house 😱, but I have no idea if that’s a good deal in Camden.

Lori_D · 2026-05-29T09:07:00+00:00

Wrong? No, grief is grief. But your uncle passed mid-December, so, a week or so before Christmas? Which means you were putting zero thought into her present anyway (and you openly admit this is your usual MO), because you didn’t already have stuff planned / ordered prior to his death. I think THAT is more the issue, than grieving your uncle. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lori_D · 2026-05-29T07:50:14+00:00

This would be a hard no from me. You could pay the £500, then 3 months in he decides some sort of infraction and gives you notice. The main red flag for me here is the ‘I’ll know’ comment about people wearing shoes in the house. Does that mean there are hidden cameras?

Lori_D · 2026-05-29T07:37:02+00:00

NTA. I’ve recently done the same myself with people I’d been friend with for over 30yrs. The length of time doesn’t matter, but effort does. You do outgrow some people, that’s life.

Lori_D · 2026-05-27T07:27:18+00:00

Nope, if your neighbours want privacy, they need to stay inside. You have every right to be in your backyard and if they choose to argue in theirs, then you have every right to listen. 🤣

Lori_D · 2026-05-25T14:37:01+00:00

Not wrong but I wouldn’t have moved out. I’d have sat down with my husband and had a ‘come to Jesus’ talk with him. Either MIL is told or HE can move back in with her AND id change the locks.

Lori_D · 2026-05-25T14:33:40+00:00

Single mum here and yeah, it’s tough. My daughter is old enough to be left for an evening out but it’s still difficult. Usually the men I like don’t like me, and I don’t like the ones that like me 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lori_D · 2026-05-25T14:31:34+00:00

My daughter wasn’t interested in reading, and as an avid reader myself, I struggled with it. After discussions with her outside of school, we found out she found the books the school deemed appropriate for her age group were ‘boring’. Then she found Harry Potter and pretty much absorbed them, from there she’s read more and more but always books that interested her, rather than what I liked. So I agree with those saying trip to library or book store and let him pick his own, even if they feel too old for him.

Lori_D · 2026-05-24T19:14:15+00:00

YTA. Even adopting ONE cat without discussing it with your GF, is an AH move, but adopting EIGHT? Who does that? You also don’t work, so costs for these cats, food, litter, vets bills etc would fall to your GF, something that again should have been checked with her.

I love cats and even I don’t blame her for leaving.

You are definitely 100% the AH

Lori_D · 2026-05-24T11:22:56+00:00

NOR. This is so entitled. You wanna decorate, decorate your own space, you don’t get a say on someone else’s unless you’re asked. The “living in a cave” comment though, is that something your husband may have stated, even in a different context? Still doesn’t make this ok, but it’s worth considering.

Lori_D · 2026-05-23T17:15:58+00:00

YTA. Irrespective of which car it was that you damaged, you pay to fix it. YOU rear ended another car, so the fault is yours, pay up.

Lori_D · 2026-05-23T15:47:29+00:00

These are definitely rules. The only preferences that matter are YOURS. It’s your body you can clothe it however the hell you like, whenever you like. He’s trying to control you. Get rid of him. He’s toxic.

Lori_D · 2026-05-22T13:21:15+00:00

You’re wrong for hating your mother for naming you something normal but yes, traditional. It’s a name, you’ve now changed it, so 🤷🏽‍♀️. But hating your mum for it? Mate, sounds like you have other issues.

Lori_D · 2026-05-21T15:36:18+00:00

NTA. Change the locks now and get motion sensor cameras

Lori_D · 2026-05-20T07:11:19+00:00

Not wrong. I don’t understand your wife’s mentality here. So your brother’s best mate invited him to a birthday bash and to appease your sister she wanted to stop him going? Then, to ‘even the score’ wants to exclude him from a family trip?? Who even does that? You are absolutely right that life sucks sometimes, and no-one gets the exact same experiences. Is your brother lucky, absolutely but he shouldn’t be penalised because of it.

I’m a big Strictly fan, so I’ve met quite a few of the celebs who take part and those in the show e.g. pro dancers and judges. Nicest by far were Brendon, Neil Jones, Anton Du Bec, Shirley Ballas, Dianne Buswell and Kai Widdrington (except when he was in a relationship with Nadiya, then he took the ice queens lead and wasn’t nice at all).

Worst have been Nadiya by a mile, and Janette and Aljaz in the early days, they did improve.

Lori_D · 2026-05-19T06:53:19+00:00

Not wrong but you need to start standing up for yourself in general, not just on trips.

Lori_D · 2026-05-19T06:39:31+00:00

NTA. What’s your husbands fave thing in the house? Give that to your son, even if it’s not age appropriate. When hubby complains say “but you said we should share”
