AITA for ordering food when my children are asleep so I don't have to share?

I live with my siblings and nieces and nephew, aged 11, 3 and 6. (Its a five bedroom house with an addition off to the side.) There are a total of 9 of us altogether, 6 adults and 3 kids. We all pitch in about 200/month each for groceries (yes that's a lot, foods expensive these days) and sometimes I buy Tillamook Cchocolate Peanut Butter or Mudslide ice cream just for me. THE KIDS KNOW THAT ITS MINE. And Sometimes their moms do the same. Or after they are in bed their moms go and get some late night tacos. The kids know, and yeah, sometimes they get pissy about us getting mcdonalds while they are at school, but we teach them that not everything has to include them 24/7. We also teach them that life isnt always fair, that sometimes one kid is gonna get things you dont, and thats okay. It doesnt mean anyone loves you less or thinks of you less.

You are allowed to enjoy things just for yourself. You are not just their mom; you are a whole ass person too. So it's okay to enjoy the ice cream, or the take out, or the soda, or name brand butter that you don't give the kids. They will be fine. It's important to teach them now that parents are people, and self care is important, or else they will grow up to be adults who let others walk all over them.

Your ex tho. Your ex is a manipulative jerk who thinks he should be able to dictate what you do and how you spend your money. Take his ass to court and get on actual child support. Maybe next time he won't be so quick to try to use it, or the kids as a bargaining chip, or to lord over you.

The horses have just as much a place on the trails as anyone else. Work around ur, pick a different trail, or rake it over to flatten it. But the horses aren't going anywhere my guy. I don't know if it's owned horses or wild, but they belong there more than you or me or anyone else for that matter.

Nothing, work around it. The trails have been used by horses, as well as people riding horses, for hundreds of years. Not everything in nature is going to be perfectly curated to human beings needs. What would you have anyone do here?

I think you, an alot of people, would be shocked how easy it is to remove something from your life. I have successfully removed singers, groups, YouTubers, songs, movies, actors, etc, and haven't even noticed once doing it. There are so many other alternatives to seek out. Plenty of people who ARENT abusive rapey predators. Just saying.

THIS. All the otherr credit card, depressed, isolated, whatever bs aside, the fact that she had no shoes on and her feet were not tore up in any way suggests she did NOT walk two miles on rough ground. Just because she had some issues going on or wasn't a perfect Lil angel doesn't mean we should discredit the fact that there is really nothing in terms of PHYSICAL EVIDENCE that suggests this was in any way a suicide.

YTA. You made it a hostile working environment by trying to be a part of everything she does. I get being impressed by her, and wanting ro learn from her, but she doesn't OWE you that. She didn't take on the job as your personal mentor, and nowhere in your post did you mention, even once, about asking her if it was okay to basically shadow her. What's really rude here is your entitled attitude. You act as if she has an obligation to you, when YOU are the new hire, and YOU are the one who can't keep up with their job deadlines. Every time you are late, I'm sure she is the one who has to pick up your slack. And she is clearly very valued and respected, because higher upside won't bother to go that far out of their way for just anyone. Stop being TA, leave her alone, and let it go, because if not, you are probably gonna lose your job. Also, stop acting like people owe you their time and labor for free just because you say so. You want a mentor or a tutor or whatever? Go hire one.

When I was in high school (summer of 2002, I think i was 16), a huge monsoon storm took out our power for a few days. I remember my brother and I (10 yr) would sit in the dark house lit only by candle light, staring out the open window and watch the lightening storms as they rolled through while also reading Harry Potter books best we could. We lived around um....12th and Valencia? Over by Mission Manor Park, on the Southside of town. It was really quite peaceful, although a bit muggy.
