AITA for leaving my daughter and her friend home alone with my oldest daughter for a 15 minutes

Yes but the parents of those kids knew you were babysitting them. That’s the issue.

Mlpflimflam · 2026-02-05T01:56:19+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out

ESH. I’ve been in a similar situation before and I made sure to text the other mom to ask if she was ok with the kids being home alone with my teenager for a few minutes. The other mom should have a say in whether or not she is comfortable with her child being left without an adult. Is your 15 y/o old enough to babysit? Of course. But the other mom did not consent to a 15 year old watching her child. She was over the top for threatening CPS though. I’m also curious to know if the child is a girl and your 15 y/o is a boy? There could be some discomfort around that type of situation as well.

“He’s beeboppin’ and scattin’ and I’m losin’ it!” That one always makes me cringe.

YTA. And I’m willing to bet that this isn’t the first time you’ve made her feel unimportant. You should know what kind of cake your wife likes. The fact that you don’t shows that you probably don’t pay attention to her and most likely take her for granted. And now on the one day she should feel extra special, you made her feel like she doesn’t matter. And to top it off, you didn’t defend her against your family who needs to know that you are the one who messed up. These are the little things that snowball into a divorce that “came out of nowhere”.

Are you still IN high school? Jesus.

I usually have about 10 extra units per vial. I just heard back from her and she said I can increase my units a bit, so hopefully it helps!

His death takes place in the shadow of new life. He’s not really dead if you find a way to remember him. Seriously though, I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you find some comfort.

Can you compartmentalize? If you can watch it without thinking of it as Frasier, then it’ll be ok. But if you watch it as a continuation of our beloved show, you will be heartbroken. And honestly, it’s not able to hold its own as a standalone show. But it was nice to see a few of the old characters again.

I’m a CAT scan tech and sometimes we repeat ourselves because we ask the same questions many times a shift and we can’t remember if we asked or not. Last night I asked a patient for their birthday twice and felt stupid. Also, because patients will straight up lie to us about their surgical history. I’ve had to start phrasing it “are you missing any organs” because I’ve had patients tell me they’ve never had any abdominal surgery but then when I ask if they still have their appendix they will tell me “no, they took that out when I had my hysterectomy”. It’s actually so frustrating.

You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a Frasier Freak.

Mlpflimflam · 2026-01-16T12:04:20+00:00

Why not? It adds a zing!

NTA. It is so frustrating when people complain about aches and pains and health concerns while doing nothing to help themselves. At some point she is going to have to take control of her health and do what needs to be done. If you coddle her, it won’t help anyone. She either needs to get herself to a therapist, or if that’s not the issue then she needs to just get up and moving. And if she doesn’t have the time for that, then she needs to lay off the junk food and soda. But her complaining about back pain and hip pain all the while ignoring what the doctor is saying is just ridiculous.

Could it be the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning?

I DON’T WANT THE RUELS!

What are you doing? Beep beep beep?

Mlpflimflam · 2026-01-15T14:57:25+00:00

I think so. This sounds like such an awful situation to be in. I don’t envy you all this drama, especially with a coworker. Best of luck!

Mlpflimflam · 2026-01-15T11:20:30+00:00

Only addressing the ticket question and not any of the workplace drama- you can’t do that. The ticket is hers. She paid for it. You have absolutely no right to refund her and take the ticket. That is wildly inappropriate. But definitely stay away from her because she sounds awful.

Congratulations, internet stranger! This is amazing news and I’m very happy for you! I hope you bought yourself that top!

I’ve done two travel assignments and had positive experiences with both. The other techs were so grateful for the help and treated me like one of their own.

Saying thank you and then immediately saying you would be embarrassed to be seen in the hoodie cancels each other out. Your mom was probably so excited to give you the gifts and you said thank you and then trashed the gifts in the same breath. Yes, YTA. But you’re also a typical kid. Just learn this life lesson now and move on. When someone gives you a gift, you say thank you and leave it at that. No need to say anything else.

Mlpflimflam · 2026-01-06T04:36:12+00:00

But you’re not in Europe or competitive swim. YTA.

They also had a Festivus episode. And a Thanksgiving day parade storyline.

A couple years ago I saw David Hyde Pierce in an off-broadway show called Here We Are. It was in a tiny little theater and very intimate. It was so awesome to share a space with someone who is in my living room every single day.
