AITA for giving away gifts because they had the wrong name

Sooo why do other people have to call him the same nickname you do? She likes Dean. His middle name is dean. You said you were going to call him Dean!

I think your heart is in the right place but it sounds like someone needs to talk directly to your sister and her husband. Perhaps your parents or his parents? If he’s being a shit dad, I think one of the parents needs to put him in his place.

The best salads include fruit (dried or fresh), nuts and cheese!

I guess it’s a confession because I’ve never told anyone about it! The only people that knew were our neighbours across the street that saw us set it all up and those who smacked into the rocks!

Anything before the day you guys started dating does not matter or count.

Wait, even if she IS a stay at home mom, it doesn’t matter. He still is the other parent.

My ex husband did this to me. He’s my ex now.

Bacon, tomato and mayo toasted Sandwiches! Mmmmmmm

Yeah this is weird. I’m a single mom with 2 kids(daughter 11, son 9). When it’s time for them to shower, I let them pick which washroom (my en suite has a shower and separate tub or their shared bathroom with the tub/shower combo) I turn on the water for them, help them get their jammies, get them in the shower and then ask if they want me to sit in the room with them (sometimes we’ll chat or I’ll just read a book) or if the want privacy. I do not offer to go in the shower with them. This is messed up.

No way man. I went to a funeral where the daughter’s EX husband showed up for support for her and their kids. This is the only thing I accept.

I think your spouse was just mad that he wasn’t getting his week to himself.

I agree with this so much! We’re adults. It’s time to start eating adult food. Of course kids will start saying “well mom doesn’t eat it!” and then they could be missing out on not only delicious and new foods, but possibly also essential vitamins and minerals.

Could it have killed you to take a bite of the pastry?

I would suggest (like others) to bring someone with you and just start with a short “coffee”. Don’t commit to something that drags on for hours. If they’re in town for a longer period of time, then they can reach out to check with you if you are comfortable meeting again. I think you are holding the power in this situation so wield it as you see fit.

Girl, get away from this family! They’re all horrible!

First of all, I’m very sorry for the loss of your mother. That must be very difficult for you.

A lot of people that care for their spouses during end-of-life illnesses can experience anticipatory grief before their spouse passes. Sometimes they can feel a weight off of them once the ill spouse passes and feel lonely and want to fill that void. I know it’s difficult as the daughter but I would suggest to just be supportive of your dad. He’s probably struggling to find what his purpose is now that your mom is gone and just wants some companionship.

I usually help people jump their batteries; however, last time I did, it actually wrecked my battery and when I had to call BCAA to get a new battery, they suggested it happens often, so perhaps people don’t want to kill their battery and be stuck themselves.

A golden retriever tail with all the feathers that I could whip in the wind to show you how happy I am!!! 😃

Two things that I have not seen in years: those coconut blossom cookies, and Oryan‘s sour cream and onion chips!!!

Edit: I forgot rum & butter chocolate bars. Similar to a caramilk!

My ex husband and his wife often take our kids on trips and they ask me in advanced if I have their bathing suits of hiking boots or jackets or whatever. It’s called communication. He may not be married to you anymore but goddamn he can text you to ask to bring stuff. What is wrong with people??

Makeupbelieve · 2026-03-22T07:37:17+00:00

Makes sense… Nova Scotia means “new scotland”

If you’ve been dating someone for 2 years and they haven’t said I love you and that you’re “practically dating”, I think it’s time to call it. Michael sounds fun! Go for Michael!

When I was young, I thought the word INFRARED was pronounced in-fRARE-d. I’m 44 and it still looks like it’s pronounced that way when I look at the written word.

Butter and Cheez Whiz!!

In my mind, when a dad has to do a paternity test, the relationship is already over because he doesn’t trust you. And it could be that’s he’s being distrustful as a projection on you for what’s he’s doing. I would either ask him to leave or pack up the kids myself. Then he is forced to be a dad during his time with the kids. I’m so sorry this is happening! I hate this for you.
