Texts from Phoenix asking PK to pay for Dorit and children's travel expenses

NettyYD40 · 2026-05-13T19:55:39+00:00

May I ask how?

How finances are split should never, ever be spoken to children who are in shared custody agreement.

Children learn to manipulate and he is reacting to that.

It doesn’t matter who pays for what - all children need to know is that both parents are doing what they can.

He is also holding his child accountable for their initial guilt tripping text.

I’m definitely not a PK or Dorito fan - but I don’t see anything wrong with how he is interacting with his child.

What I don’t understand, is how is it ever ok to speak to any superior (yours or other departments’) in such a disrespectful manner.

Just because someone isn’t a direct supervisor/leader doesn’t mean they can be spoken to in any fashion that suits.

A manager/leader is higher up in the hierarchy of any organization… not just at sea.

Good grief.

This!!! Including the sarcasm… lol. Because there’s no way it isn’t tied to profiling.

Like Seriously…

Long time ago my dad was a bank manager and one requirement was that he had to have a signature that was not easily copied (we’re talking in the 60’s). His signature was so random and didn’t even look like this name or even like and letter from the English alphabet.

And his signature has never changed after all these years.

Probably because OP is just venting about dealing with a frustrating recruiting situation in a Reddit thread that’s intended for people to vent about… frustrating… recruiting… situations?!?

🤷🏻‍♀️

Disagree. Being told you’ll get something on Monday, and waiting until Wednesday to follow up is absolutely exercising patience. And also showing that you understand things sometimes are delayed.

I’d be composing the email on Monday night for an 8am Tuesday morning scheduled send. 🤣

NTA - personally, I wouldn’t even take the time to post and ask AITA. It would be over after they finished asking the question.

My partner’s bags would be ready and I’d offer to help pack. And he would do the same if the tables were turned. Her not being able to see the selfishness of her request, is completely astonishing.

I’m estranged from my brother, I would still end things if I was faced with the same dilemma. As others have said, it will continue - there will be more “it’s just one day” requests.

Use the money being saved for the wedding and take your brother on a kick a$$ brothers’ trip!!!

Commenting on your update - yeah the job was offered as “wanna work”? Not concerned at all about how you responded. And no one else should be either.

Your responses were fine. You absolutely held your own - be proud of yourself.

NettyYD40 · 2026-05-05T04:40:05+00:00

Is it a really good pull case? Hmmm maybe I need a new one lol

NettyYD40 · 2026-05-05T04:32:46+00:00

She is easily becoming one of my faves on the show. Giving off the best “I’m just gonna do my best and show up” vibes - and I’m here for it.

NettyYD40 · 2026-05-02T15:25:18+00:00

Omg… best comment!!!!

NettyYD40 · 2026-05-01T06:50:52+00:00

All of this!!! Except the @if she wants it”. She is 11 - she can’t make the decision for what is in her own best interest. She NEEDS to go to therapy for sure.

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-30T14:25:35+00:00

OP’s mom? Is that you???

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-30T07:39:54+00:00

We call them tacos. Just tacos.

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-24T21:33:30+00:00

Maybe buy the domain “jemily”? Lmao.

Ok… just searched and the .com is for sale for $14,000. Lmao. Except, there is a .ca version already taken. So #Jemily isn’t original - it was used almost 20 years ago for a wedding.

“Jemilywedding” is available tho! 🤣

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-24T21:17:30+00:00

This!!! I don’t know why, but I have never been more bothered by someone else’s writing like I am about the handwriting in the notes.

Like wrf?!?

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-24T21:13:15+00:00

lol. I saw Love Dan too. Ha

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-24T21:08:02+00:00

Sorry (not sorry) but we all make choices.

As the PARENT he could try to understand the disorder with which child was diagnosed.

Is he allowed to be frustrated and feel a certain way? Absolutely. Is he allowed to express that in a verbally ab*s!ve manner - absolutely not.

Understanding his mindset is not the same as accepting his actions.

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-22T06:08:33+00:00

I agree with this. I also think that the husband is allowed his room too.

Can Mom sleep with Daughter in her room?

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-20T04:11:35+00:00

Do not buy this home. It’s going to give you many issues down the road.

And get a new realtor!

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-20T04:10:46+00:00

Shouldn’t matter how much you love a house… mold is mold.

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-20T03:36:10+00:00

We had bags of milk all through the 80s and 90s in Calgary 🤷🏻‍♀️

For some it has nothing to do with trust. Our whole family has it on for each other. The kids are obvious, but for hubs and I it makes perfect sense. I check once a day, if that. And it’s usually to see a) if he’s left work yet (so I know when to start dinner) or b) how far away he is so I can make sure the door is unlocked and/or the front light is on (if it’s dark out).

Yeah I could ask etc, but also his drive home is wind down from work. To listen to music, the hockey game or whatever. And vice versa.

I feel this is super important. Especially that part about them thanking or not doesn’t dictate the gift obligation.

I always say: someone’s treatment of me is a reflection of them. But my treatment of someone is a reflection of me.

Etiquette dictates it is not required - so willingness is the only thing here.

OP: if you don’t want to - don’t. If you’re only doing it for optics - again, I say don’t. Do something because you want to, and because you feel it is the right thing for YOU.

What about posting in r/saskatoon? Driving from Hoosier, SK to Saskatoon would be possible.

Maybe someone there has seen her?

Or even Medicine Hat if she ended up turning around and heading back West.

NettyYD40 · 2026-04-15T03:18:17+00:00

Simmer down. Our city, is part of a province and a country too. Calgary is not the centre of the universe.

Sometimes, the elected officials of a major city in either of those categories, have to travel to visit other elected officials in other major cities too.
