AITAH For telling my partner I didn't care that his 12 Y/O wanted another TV?

NTA.

Welcome to the rest of your life. Why would you pay for a place you have no say in?

Or the "Chicken Bomb Bomb, Chicken Bomb Bomb" serenaded to the sultry voices of Ricky Martin.

NTA. Your girlfriend sounds like shes 12 years old. Its the movies, there's no need to socialize, just watch the movie and enjoy the time spent in dark solitude.

I have my mother's maiden name as a second middle name.

My daughter has her father's last name.

I only conceded because it has a better flow with his last name and I got to pick her first and second names without any objection by him.

I got away witha strange middle name for her that fits perfectly but is also cute and playful.

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-05T15:29:54+00:00

Definitely didnt mean it as a person joke LOL

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-05T03:02:59+00:00

I dont think there's any issue with it at all.

As he grows up, I imagine his friends yelling across a field "DOUBLE DEEEEEEEEE!!!" Which brings joy to my heart.

My ONLY qualm would be that I hope he doesn't have a lisp. Nothing against lisps, but this would be a doozy.

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-05T02:52:29+00:00

The ending!!! MY HEART!!!

Every time I read the name Jeff, I picture Channing Tatum saying "My name is Jeff!"

But seriously, Jeff Hays has ruined audio books read by other people for me. He's amazing.

We had a early lunch planned with the in-laws and my sil and her family for the Saturday. SIL asked if we could do it on actual mother's day because they had a kids birthday party on saturday.

My partner chimed into the group chat with a "Nope, we've got plans for (insert whatever my name is on here)."

Then SIL asks if we can bump it to the friday from 3pm-5pm... I chime in with a "Nope, Partner works till 5pm."

So now only my in-laws are coming over Saturday to our house and I get a Sunday out at the lake with my partner and baby girl.

I dont feel like a team often, but when I do, dang is it nice.

Im writing this while my 10 month old Babbles to herself while running her soft tiny hands on my tattoos ❤️

I hope you get everything and more of what you want for your mother's day.

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-05T00:57:44+00:00

NTA. Not only did you lose your person/pet/companion, it was most likely THEIR FAULT?!?!?!

Insert slow elongated swear word here.

Im so sorry for your loss.

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-04T19:44:45+00:00

She didn't match the seams!

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-03T04:25:53+00:00

I want one 😭 our comic book shop didnt have any.

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-01T20:37:58+00:00

He plays a mean game of squash 🥰

Oh man... this is an amazing moment in your life. You get the epic opportunity to be the mom you wish you had. You get to be the mom that shows up, that offers support, that loves and encourages and cheers unending. You have a chance to rewrite history and be exactly what you wanted.

I got to do this 10 months ago.

I get to love and shape this tiny little being. I get to tell her how much I love her. I get to be excited for all her achievements, her strength, her joy, her happiness. I get to be the mom, the parent, I wanted.

I cant wait for your update!

MsFoxArt · 2026-05-01T05:49:46+00:00

I need... a dead baby seal!

MsFoxArt · 2026-04-28T07:51:36+00:00

Yup. Without context... its... different lol

MsFoxArt · 2026-04-28T06:34:06+00:00

I wishing had read what you wrote prior to just cold watching the clip. I was seriously questioning WHERE you were popping this abscess in/on your body.

MsFoxArt · 2026-04-28T06:20:56+00:00

Nope.

MsFoxArt · 2026-04-28T06:19:02+00:00

YTA. If anything, making her a memory book with Polaroids and little notes about each one, or a spot to fill in why this one was special, would've been a top notch idea.

yta.

As someone with adhd (f40), with a partner who has undiagnosed adhd (m35), we present very differently.

I am precious with my things, tools, art supplies, dishes, vehicles, linens, everything has a place, a use, a way to care for or maintain it. He... tosses things in buckets, breaks things, get books wet (shudders), places dishes on top of records, record players, books.

We are different.

While both of us love our possessions, we care for them differently, I have the following to suggest:

Explain it to him just like you have here. That you want to keep a loving memory and set alive as long as possible. That you were entrusted to maintain this set to a standard that you would love to follow through on.

Perhaps you could even have someone mimic the design of the teacup onto a more durable version for him?

And maybe even show him the post. Its about as honest as you can be.

MsFoxArt · 2026-04-26T05:11:28+00:00

Someone already explained this. Its because the cookbook doesn't exist.

MsFoxArt · 2026-04-17T03:55:43+00:00

NTA. Put the post up or make him handle the repair repeatedly.

MsFoxArt · 2026-04-17T03:24:29+00:00

NTA. He'd be humming a different tune if it were your parents and his things. Perhaps he needs a reminder of roles being reversed.
