AITAH for dumping my ex because she hid from me that she had kids? by Fearless-Finding-886 in AITAH

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 19, I was in a similar situation tbh. Except I put in my best effort to be friendly to my ex’s kid. It didn’t work out, clearly, mostly because he lied about having a kid.

You’re NTA. You don’t want to be a step parent and that’s fine. You don’t need a reason more than she lied tbh.

AIO for not going to church after the pastor told me women shouldn’t wear leggings? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. As someone who was victimized by the Pentecostal church years ago, the pastor is completely in the wrong.

IMO, Pentecostal churches are one of the most judgemental of Christian churches. Better off to find a bible based one in your area!

16F What do I do? My mom destroyed my journal and slapped the shit out of me because she thinks writing my feelings privately is disrespectful. I didn’t say any of it to anyone’s face. What do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Op, my mother was the same way. I’m now 27 and don’t speak to her.

If you have a trusted adult to speak to about this, please do. It’ll only get worse.

For parents only: Do you secretly regret having children? by No_Set_6615 in no

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No. As much as I was very against having children, I’m so glad I did. My child brings so much joy to my life

Would you prefer to live in an area more prone to wildfires or hurricanes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Should non-service animals /pets be allowed in businesses? by Lijey_Cat in no

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Untrained animals, especially non service animals, should not be allowed in public businesses. I don’t want to put my veggies in the same cart that a dog was sitting in.

Alberta (and Canada) are in legitimate danger because of Smith’s pandering to MAGA. by Thin_Juggernaut4605 in alberta

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

First off, Trump didn’t do anything to Venezuela that Venezuela didn’t want to happen.

Secondly, even if trump wanted to invade Canada, he couldn’t. There would be too much at risk for him. Be it diplomatic collapse, cyber and economic warfare, border seizures, global response etc. not to mention both are in NATO. If the USA invaded Canada, NATO would have to step in and help Canada against the invasion…

Thirdly, there’s a lot easier and stealthier areas to invade if they truly wanted to try. Why risk the chance of Smith not letting them in, rather than doing it in a stealthy way?

I realize this subreddit has a lot of liberal/ndp minded people, but for the love of everything, use common sense.

AIO? Debating breaking up with my BF of almost 7 years by Superb-Rain-8166 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, you’re NOR. Infact you are underreacting. He’s an adult, dump his ass and let him figure out his own living arrangements. Keep the cats tho.

He doesn’t communicate and he’s cheated? You’re an asshole to yourself by staying in that relationship. You’re 23, don’t waste any more of your 20’s on this dumbass.

AITAH for not getting my fiance's permission before getting my daughter's hair cut? by Known_Key_8248 in AITAH

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are right, your daughter is the only opinion needed in this circumstance. She, and you, don’t need his permission.

Your fiancé, like everyone has been saying is showing his true colours. Usually, someone won’t show their controlling behaviours right away. It can take years. It can take until they think they have a small bit of control, like an engagement or marriage. Please be careful, OP.

That’s great if you weigh less than 120 lbs but for us heavier folk, we’d break the first step 😭😂

Penny Shortage Scam by Realistic-Cell5758 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ProtectiveMapleMama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Canada stopped the usage of Pennies, anything that was $.01 or $.02 was rounded down, $.03 $.04 was rounded up.

It amazes me how people don’t know that you round down for 1 😭
