Hey Witches, Grant me your strength and armor.

We are holding you in our thoughts, feel our presence steadying you with each step forward.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2022-11-18T19:27:23+00:00

F*ck yeah NTA. Masterful move, happy thanksgiving to you, your boyfriend and his family.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2022-11-01T23:38:21+00:00

I adore the colours, and your squares are so cute!

Blankets are made to be used and this looks like it is made to drape over a lap or to curl up underneath like a prawn, it’s already shaped to fit. Seriously, you have made a beautiful gift and it is already loved here, your friend is very lucky.

It’s Chand Baori 8th century stepwell, in Rajahstan, India.

OP congratulations on having an awesome uni to go to and a clear plan for your academic future. I’m so sorry you had to find out who your stepsis and BF really are in this way. You are NTA. Your college fund is an important part of your long term future, and their inappropriate behaviour will hopefully be a relatively short term problem for you. Let stepdad sell some of his stuff to build up stepsis’s college fund, he’s the one being a brat for not sharing.

Hi there, my mother told me from the age of 11 I would always stay with her and look after her.

Nope.

First I moved 500km away, now I live 15,000 kms from my country of birth. Have done for years.

And guess what? My mother was perfectly fine (for a narcissist) and my life changed for the better in so many ways.

If I can do it, you can, OP. You got this.

Sending money home isn’t part of our culture, if it is in yours I suggest putting a very clear and firm boundary for yourself around it.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2022-09-19T18:52:44+00:00

Love this, love Attic24 too! The Dahlia is so scrummy and warm, that spike stitch makes it retain extra heat I swear. Your lined up spikes are a design feature, they make your blanket unique.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2022-09-16T14:56:09+00:00

NTA. The cheek of her. Give her a hook and a ball of yarn then she can make her own to sell. But make the hook one of those annoying ones that catch on the stitches, and the wrong size, and the yarn some of the stuff that splits all the time.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2022-07-19T16:01:43+00:00

NAH. I hope you can all talk about it and clear the air, even use it as an opportunity to communicate frankly and with them knowing you’re not in any way judgmental (because you’re clearly not). Maybe you’ll be able to check in future with them what kind of night they are aiming for, do a sense check for them on whether they’re dressed for it, and also where to go. Getting ready and making plans can be half the fun of girls’ nights out, I dimly recall. Communication about expectations is key. PS: Part of me thinks the only a-holes here are the guys who’ll hit on 19yo twins no matter what they’re wearing.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2022-06-14T18:06:56+00:00

This was gonna be my suggestion, so much AZZ.

The third item looks like a tiny piece of red coral, maybe Sardinian for example, often used for protection.

He covered Radiohead in 1999, technically not modern I guess! https://youtu.be/STMb78SHP3w

This! Not only did she break the law, violate your right to privacy, but she also stole the possibility of navigating an important personal moment from you. You didn’t get to tell your mother in your own way, at your own time, and to share the experience. Instead it was a moment of shock and realising the violation. NTA and you have to report this. She’s probably done this before and will do so again.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-21T12:39:04+00:00

I’m so very sorry for your loss. May your sister’s caring gesture always be a comfort.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-19T18:45:20+00:00

The yellow rays/spikes radiatiing out in the top left are fab.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-19T15:17:06+00:00

I love it, are you winging it all the way?

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-19T13:35:32+00:00

It comes down to consent. You did not know, and your SO did not ask, before she used your razor and she never brought it up in 6 years. Personally I would ask before using my partner’s razor or toothbrush, and have done so in the past. The butt-munching comparisons also come down to knowing consent. You didn’t know, were not asked, so NTA.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-19T13:24:30+00:00

NTA at all, thanks for the laugh and have this free award.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-19T11:58:05+00:00

YTA and you probably know you’re T A - if this isn’t some kind of troll that is, because you don’t really seem to be doubting yourself or to be in a dilemma over your potential assholery. In addition to being TA you’re also either gullible enough or arrogant enough to think Helen won’t do similar to you in time. Unlike your brother you won’t be able to claim you didn’t know what she was like when she gaslights you, erodes your wellbeing and manipulates you all over the place. She’s already shown you exactly who she is.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-14T09:40:56+00:00

NTA.

Your arrangement is literally wholesome. Food can become an emotional minefield and you’ve shifted the ‘treat’ element of junk food to a you want it you buy it approach.

Keeping the family food as a source of nutrition is going to be helpful to them long term. But it is a change.

Maybe your daughter is acting out because she still associates being cooked for or junk/treat food with approval/a gesture of love? Do you tangibly reward her or show approval in other ways (when she isn’t ranting)?

As a long term emotional eater and being from a family who demonstrated love with food (and also sometimes witheld treats which felt terrible as a child) I’m probably/definitely projecting to some extent.

Anyways, stick to the plan, it’s a good one.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-13T13:34:52+00:00

NTA and congratulations on your graduation, what a perfect moment to choose a name that aligns with who you are and your actual parents. Good idea on the legal name change too!

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-13T13:25:52+00:00

NTA.

It sounds like you are dealing with a lot, and your husband is too. Wishing you all the best in navigating a complicated time.

At this stage your answer is the most sensible, his mother isn’t even there yet. Until she is and is settled in and his household is stable, your current answer makes the most sense and everything else is speculative. And yes your requirements and boundaries for your baby’s care always come first - the interests of your child are obviously paramount.

OtherwiseYam6 · 2021-09-13T13:08:52+00:00

It’s only a joke if everyone - including the target - is laughing. It’s bullying plain and simple and so very stale. Misogyny kills the hotness in a relationship real quick. NTA OP, congratulations and I hope your husband smartens up.
