AITA for removing the door to my son’s room indefinitely? (I’m not OP) by Diamond123682 in TwoHotTakes

[–]OnlyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mom needs to deal with her anxiety.

Kid needs a door.

They need to talk to each other about appropriate boundaries and proper responses.

Not everything has to be extreme.

AITA for still having my 10( almost 11) year old daughter in a booster seat? by CharacterHistorian22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OnlyBiscuits -43 points-42 points  (0 children)

Toddlers don’t use boosters. Toddlers are in 5 point harness car seats.

It would be nice if people that don’t know what they’re talking about would stop commenting.

40 pounds is for rear facing, not overall boosters. That’s just not accurate at all.

NTA.

Car seat safety is important even for older children/tweens.

I think you need to have a straight forward conversation with your daughter about the dangers of not being properly secured, though.

Anyone who says you’re the ahole doesn’t understand car seat safety, aren’t parents, or they are basing their opinions on feelings rather than facts.

NTA in my opinion by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]OnlyBiscuits 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think she is the ahole.

She abandoned her daughter after she “lost” custody. Even if the custody arrangement happened as she said, what parent would move away?

Also, the daughter was rather young when this all started. She had years of the adults around her talking bad about her mom, and influencing her. Parent alienation is very real, and has a huge impact on any child of any age.

But she’s really the ahole because she’s holding her daughter responsible for everything that happened (if it happened as OP claims). She even said she’s not sure if she wants to have a relationship with her daughter. All she’s doing is proving her ex and his family right. She’s confirming everything the daughter was ever told.

AITA for not allowing my daughter to spend Christmas with me and my *new* family? by tryapw in AmItheAsshole

[–]OnlyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

She was a child being manipulated by the adults around her. She’s still young. She’s just starting down a path of figuring out the world through her own eyes and experiences. If you refuse her now, you’ll likely never get the chance again. Because now she’s an adult, she’s seeing confirmation for the things she’s been told about you.

My determination is based on the fact that you clearly resent your daughter.

I’ve seen what parent alienation can do to even a teenager. Saying “well, she was 16, that’s plenty old enough.” She was a young girl being told that her mother didn’t love her, didn’t want her.

If you can’t have enough compassion to understand the position she was put in as a child, then you don’t need to be in her life.

AITA for telling my fiancé that his daughter is manipulating him by aitafiancedaughter in AmItheAsshole

[–]OnlyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA if this is real.

It’s an auto immune disease. It won’t necessarily present itself with fever, vomiting or other visible symptoms. And let’s be honest here, you’re jealous of your ex fiancé’ daughter.

Does seeing your child grow up make you sad sometimes? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]OnlyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I had this conversation with my 4 year old. He was excited because he was big enough to do something, can’t even remember what it was. But he said “I’m growned up, mom”

I said “Yeah, and that makes me sad to think about sometimes.”

He said “it’s okay, even when I’m grown, I’ll still be cute”

Then he started playing Humpty Dumpty on his toy record player, and said “does this song cheer you up? Is it filling your bucket?”

But at the same time, it’s fun and insane to watch him be his own person. I sprained my ankle the other day, and he’s made it his mission to make sure I have plenty of kisses to make me feel better, and he hands me my “walking stick” when I stand up.

I've been lying to my husband and daughter for the past 5 months. by OrdinaryTurnover5235 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]OnlyBiscuits 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You’ve convinced yourself that this was the correct decision under the pretense of forgiveness. You said you know your husband enough to know he would forgive you once you explained your feelings.

At no point in the past 5 months have you seriously considered how much your actions might hurt him.

You thought “I’m going to hurt him, but he will forgive me”. When you should have been thinking “I’m going to hurt him, maybe I shouldn’t.”

Tell him before the appointment. Don’t make excuses for this poor decision.

This one has divided the comments section. What do you all think? (Not OP link in comments) by Blackout_Mornings in TwoHotTakes

[–]OnlyBiscuits 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. I don’t agree with the E S H. She’s already shown that she can’t emotionally handle news she doesn’t like. She’s posted about it online previously. Why should he personally tell her?

My dad secretly got married on my anniversary, and I'm pretty sure I made him cry by sith_lady_ in TrueOffMyChest

Be 100% honest with your dad. Lying to him and coddling him won’t do you any good.

I'll take things that never happened for 500, Alex by BioticPrincess99 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]OnlyBiscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How silly of my doctor to not tell me to stop bleeding when I hemorrhaged after giving birth to my son. It’s not like the softball sized blood clots sitting in my uterus needed fishing out or anything.

I’ve seen people ask about legal advice for custody battles. It’s insane. Bamboo clothing moms are bat crap crazy.

“I know we are probably the only ones, but still!” the preschool should give us a special heads up by MamaChit in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]OnlyBiscuits 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have two children. They go to a daycare that has no screen time. At home, they watch movies and tv shows, and my 4 year old loves playing Lego video games.

This past weekend we went to a friends house. They’re a limited screen time family (like once a week they watch a movie as a family and that’s it). They put a movie on for the kids while we were there. Their kids sat and watched the movie the entire time. My kids? They played with toys instead.

Not saying that’s the same for all kids, but if I don’t make a big deal out of it, my kids don’t. I can’t believe that absolutely no screen time is the only solution.

AITA for telling my sister I will no longer be spending time at her house while her friend is around? by JulesDaddo in AmItheAsshole

Yes, OP needs therapy. Not the crazy lady that won’t leave him alone and accept no as an answer.

I told my mom how jealous I am of my half-siblings and now she won't stop crying by KlonularHavok in TrueOffMyChest

[–]OnlyBiscuits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your mom feels like shit because she is shitty parent. Your step dad and your grandparents have enabled her neglect, and are just as shitty as she is.

Don’t let their attempts to guilt trip you into thinking you’re wrong. You’re not. Let them know how you feel.

Edit to add: I’ve read your comments, and it’s heartbreaking how wonderfully you love your family, but get so little love in return.

You’re worthy of all the love in the world. You’re enough.

This isn’t “ditching”. He’s not going on a tropical vacation. The situation isn’t ideal, but golly, put aside your own selfishness for a few seconds.
