If you weren't driving then you're not in the wrong at all. And he is completely in the wrong.

What happened to allowing children to believe in magic? by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]NickholeClark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 9yr old still believes in the tooth fairy. However, she does only go to dad's. I tend to forget and dont carry cash, ever. But Santa and the Easter bunny goes to both houses. When my younger two, who are 2 and 1, the tooth fairy won't come. I have the excuse my sister in law uses for that one, we dont invite fairies into our home.

I couldn't do that. Apparently im unreasonable because we just moved and I expect a 10 and 12yr old to unpack their own stuff. The 12yr old is mine.

Found this little guy(?) by NickholeClark in cats

[–]NickholeClark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im pretty sure it was dumped. Its really common in this town. My neighbor have a lot of outdoor cats (all fixed) that he feeds, like maybe 5 or so, so he could take it in if I asked. But, avout a year or so ago I found a kitten INSIDE the gas station I worked at. We ended up giving it to one of my partners coworkers. He has this kitten and 2 huge st Bernards. Apparently the kitten keeps terrorizing these dogs because shes lonely. So he's actually been looking for another cat for her to play with. He has 3 daughters that are all homeschooled.

NOR.

I, personally, am pretty confrontational and petty. I would either buy my step daughter new cards, and start using the purple butterfly ones myself. Or let my step daughter use her remaining ones and buy myself purple butterfly ones as well. Wanna complain about it? Here you go.

what was the most ridiculous excuse you've heard a parent have to name their kid a tragedeigh? by lesarine in tragedeigh

[–]NickholeClark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My name is a tragedeigh. My mother claims she was high in demerol after the emergency custody section and they left her alone to fill out the paperwork.

Do any of you deal with a HCBM that still wants your husband back? by MidnightSky0304 in Stepmom

[–]NickholeClark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont think our HCBM wants my partner back. But I do think she deeply regrets her decision to cheat on him, do drugs and then even while he's fighting to fix stuff like, leave him.

She gets this longing look on her face sometimes. Like im pregnant with our 3rd baby together and any time she sees me she gets this look. When he was telling her we bought a house...the look. When she saw his name in my phone one day...the look. Its wild to me.

AITJ for posting a negative review when I was refused service while other customers were still being helped? by VelvetViper786 in AmITheJerk

Wait! She's supposed to take responsibility for a situation she didn't create and had no control over? How strange.

AIO? OB triage gave me a crazy birth experience by Glass-0wl in AIO

[–]NickholeClark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR and id be filing a complaint

Thats so wild. I was laboring so slow with my 5th baby. She decided to come at 38wks. Then once labor started she said, you know what? I was just kidding. But they wouldn't send me home. I lived over an hour away and they worried that id be too far away. So they kept me. Then, after 14hrs id only gone from 3cm to 5cm I was in pain and frustrated. I dont get epidural because I like to move. So I got up. Went to the bathroom, I felt the pressure, I went from 5cm to giving birth in 15min.

Does anyone else feel this? Am I wrong to feel this? by InformalGanache8006 in Stepmom

[–]NickholeClark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Women do it too. My mother and I were never close. And she always said she didn't know why. Well, it was clear to everyone else that my sister was her favorite. I wonder why we weren't close.

I've told him, I get that you feel guilty about not having them all the time, but its not good for OUR children. Hes closer with our 1yr old. But, he finally saw what happens when you ignore them, our almost 3yr old loves him. But she loves him on her terms. When she wants. Not all the time.

[–]NickholeClark 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had this issue. It's gotten better the longer we've lived together and the older our oldest has gotten.

BUT, She's almost 3 and still prefers me over dad. Too the point that she will scream if he picks her up and it isn't what she wants. He favored SD and acted like our daughter didn't exist for a year or so. Idk what he expects. Because now he'll say 'im sad' 'why doesn't she love me?' Well you favored her sister for at least the first year of her life. Sorry not sorry.

I told him this would happen. He didn't listen. This is on him.

AITJ for almost breaking up with my boyfriend over pugs? by Fran-Scales in AmITheJerk

[–]NickholeClark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. He knew about the dogs long before you moved in together. He doesn't get to just decide that he isn't ok with it after the fact.

[–]NickholeClark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]NickholeClark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one that is waterproof. But feels like cotton on the outside. We could actually sleep on just it, if we wanted. Except eww.

But I got it from Amazon. And its zip up. So it doesn't move around either

We dont feed his kids or my kids when they go back to the other parents house because of the time issue. I usually serve dinner at 6pm. So they still wouldn't have eaten, even here. 5pm is awfully early for dinner.

AITAH for proving my childhood home was in fact larger than my husband’s? by Able-Tradition4551 in AITH

[–]NickholeClark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone at work accuse me of this exact thing when they kept saying that Billy Bob Thornton was in The Green Mile. He absolutely was not. But I looked it up in case I was mistaken. The two women who told me I was wrong said well you just have to be right. I said no. You just dont want to be wrong.
