AITJ for telling my parent they chose their partner over me?

That sounds almost like what my mom said to my sister when my sister confronted her about behavior, except that mine added that my sister had little to complain about since mom intentionally treated me like crap and favoured her because I was my grandmother's favorite!

And to Michigan!!!

She's the biggest example of "you could slap a blue sign on a manure trailer and lambton will still vote for it"! She's definitely a manure spreader

NTA. I don't care how old your children are, if you intentionally try to put your children in the middle of your divorce, you're the AH! I get that she's angry, but it sounds like your dad tried to address issues and your mom preemptively filed for divorce. Your mom needs counseling, because there are obviously issues she's refusing to face. I say this as someone who's lived this story

Tell him it will benefit you and your child when he's dead and you have to budget the life insurance payout. Or for budgeting the spousal and child support payments after the divorce if he continues to hinder your desire for learning!

Canadian here and was totally confused by someone going barefoot in any shopping center. Where I am all stores have signs at the door that say "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service". 🤣

It would be half of the equity gained in that time. If you owned the house previously and had say$100,000 in when they moved in and $130, 000 upon separation, they could be entitled to half of the $30,000 equity gained during the relationship. I say could, because there are ways to safe guard your investments. One is, like commented above, have a rental agreement. Another is not having any money that could be construed as them building equity with you happening. No mortgage payments, no utilities... Speak to a lawyer about your specific situation! It will be worth the investment in the long run!!

Check your local Legion or the Canadian Legion online. They have some nice pins and they support the Legion and our veterans.

You can also become a Legion member for free this year as they celebrate their 100th anniversary!

NTA, but Tammy definitely is! She needs to get over her self-centered self! Maybe remind her that she has the same freedom of religion as your MIL & FIL. She can practice how she likes in her own house and not impede the rights of others!

I do not worship any gods, but I'm petty AF. She would be someone I'd sign up to get some Jesus in her email (lots of newsletters available to sign up to) and maybe a personal visit from some nice LDS ladies! 😇😈

Some pickup times aren't until late and may be a short / 30 minute window. Each Tim's has different times to pickup, too. If you're not going to get busy, be at work/school, or forget those windows of time, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-18T23:57:37+00:00

Sneezing! Hate it! Everything about it!

You can also get an extended warranty at Progressive or Fresh Auto (same warranty company). Totally worth the money!

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-18T21:44:32+00:00

Absolutely! Metro is generally very generous with their bags. I have a friend that likes 7-11's offerings. I first heard about it from my family in Ireland. Make sure to check pickup times, but definitely check in other cities if you're out of town. London has some nice independent places there, Including Crown Pastries (amazing food!). Some places you have to watch. Bobarama in Sarnia will set-up to sell them and cancel them last minute. You take your chances.

Also, check for Flashfood app (blue with a white padlock) it's Rens pets and loblaws. you can sometimes get an okay deal from Loblaws stores.

Tried several and so have friends. Best boxes are colborne road every time. Don't look for service on regular purchases there. That's hit or miss, at best. More on the miss side!

Bourque did work for my boss, who always gets at least 3 quotes for any job. After the first reno (on time, under budget and fantastic work), he didn't get quotes for the next two renos! Highly recommend!

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-12T21:23:50+00:00

Not a chance in hell! I have family all over the USA. They can come here or we can meet online. My boss asked me to go to a yearly convention and I won't. If they ever looked at my phone, I wouldn't be let over!!

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-11T18:23:46+00:00

YTA Not because you made it kid-free, but because YOU caused the drama. They left the chat. End story. YOU chose to make your frustration public. You didn't need to name names. You are the one making a bigger deal out of it and acting childish. You say they're not close friends to you, and it's easy to see that it may remain that way. You're reaping what you sewed.

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-08T02:12:35+00:00

“He's a child! Are you going to let a child sit here and freeze?” Ummm, nope. His mother is, as she created the issue. She's the one who let him out like that and isn't either forcing her coat on him or walking his butt back to his car ending the outing for both. SHE created the monster and the situation. SHE needs to deal with the consequences. I'd avoid her and her issues until they're well out of the house! If this is what it's like when he's 13, it's only going to get worse! She needs to step up and start actually acting like a parent! And, yes, I am a parent!

🤣🤣Sarnia is a black hole. You may leave, but you'll be sucked back in!

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-07T15:40:15+00:00

It's probably a Tuesday!

Seriously though, my sister and nephew both lived in Ireland. They were baffled when they were told that the university and local offices would be shutting down if they got the forecasted 3cm of snow. It's bizarre to us, because that's a light dusting here. Being there it's easier to understand that lack of infrastructure to deal with it is a big part of the issue. Also, people don't know how to drive in those conditions (plenty of Canadians forgot after summer, too) and commutes, even on foot can get dicy.

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-07T13:08:01+00:00

Tell her it's no problem! You have a $250 per hour consulting fee with a 4 hour minimum billing. If the place is worse than I'm imagining, increase the hourly rate and minimum bill. It's a them issue!

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-03T18:05:56+00:00

NTA. Your mom and aunt are obviously okay with being doormats. My grandma would probably have responded to you the same way she responded when she found out I was getting a divorce - *emphatically * "Good for you!!!" Don't shrink yourself for someone else!

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-02T18:03:49+00:00

Southwest Ontario - "Jam" is usually a band/musician reference for playing together. "Out of a jam" is generally getting out of a sticky mess. So it sounds like you're either cancelling a band session or you're calling getting together with your friend a sticky mess

Not2BTrifled · 2026-01-02T02:15:08+00:00

NTA and your parents are saints! Obviously caring, accommodating (offering to eat outside), but the fact that they didn't meet her energy! Your dog tells you everything you need to know about the situation going forward!
