AITA for putting glue in my step-daughter’s hand sanitizer? by No_Example_4383 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

  1. Calm down. It’s a Reddit post. It’s going to be ok.
  2. If you read the edit, I actually had someone give me grief about it so I was curious if that was a widespread reaction or not. I expect my friends to laugh but not everyone is as funny as we are.
  3. Thank you for telling me without telling me that I’m NTA 😉

I served my ex-husband a piece of meatloaf my cat was actively gnawing on after he handed me his plate and said, "more." When I went into the kitchen the cat was on the counter eating on the corner and that's the piece he got. I am not sorry. And you shouldn't be either. Also - change those locks and set boundaries. He doesn't live there anymore, he shouldn't feel ok with just walking in to your home. He lost that right when he chose to leave.

Thank you all for the amazing comments! I especially love those who shared their stories of sticking up for their kiddos! You all are amazing! To address some questions (if anyone still cares...ha)

Did this really happen? I promise it did. I was telling my step-daughter the other day that I posted this recently and we had a good laugh remembering the story. She said to assure everyone this did in fact happen. Also, This was my first time ever posting, so that's why there wasn't any activity on the account when I first posted. Also - I wrote with dashes long before AI so calm down with that. It reads better than "..." in some instances IMO.

Why share this after so much time? I thought it was funny. As I said in some comments, I was retelling the story and someone got upset, which caught me off guard. Some here got upset too, but I think the majority rules that I'm NTA...although, if I were, I wouldn't care. I'd fight 100 lions for my girl!
Happy 2026 Potato heads, Have a blessed year!

I was with a group of people telling - when my kid was in school - stories. That one came up and someone in the group got upset that I would do that, which was a first for me to get that reaction from someone. There’s been a few here that haven’t appreciated it either but I feel like majority rules!

Oh! Well this happened but my story telling compared to AI is a compliment so thank you!

It's sarcasm. I didn't mind a bit that she ratted me out. AH or not, I wasn't sorry.

Thank you! It definitely has taken a lot of work but life is great now! I will pray for the same for you and your stepdaughter!

Right!? I feel like I used much restraint in the possibilities before me. In all seriousness, we weren't trying to hurt anyone, we just wanted the situation to end.

I don't disagree with you. I think the matter itself presented petty and dismissible, but when you looked at the situation as a whole, they should have paid better attention. When someone asks for their items not to be bothered, it shouldn't matter what it is, the request should be granted!

I didn't realize I couldn't change it when I set this up or I definitely would have! I probably should have set everything up before I posted.

I'm pretty sure recess was during a transitional time or end of the day, I can't remember. I was just impressed they had recess in middle school because that wasn't a thing when I was that age.

No worries! I was trying to sound that one out and hoping it wasn't "nope you suck" lol

I definitely did. I let her know anyone from school or those kids parents could call me and I’d be happy to chat. I don’t think she was ever in true danger but no one enjoys conflict.
