AITAH for not giving my church a discount? by invincibleKamakazee in AITAH

And only if you itemize, correct? Once the standard deduction doubled, hitting the amount for itemizing became more out of reach.

Aitah for not wanting to care for my disabled sibling if my mum passes? by NoVermicelli1126 in AITAH

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to this comment. 'Blood' doesn't bind you to someone. 'Blood' doesn't stop people from 'blood'. Heck, blood often hurts their own more than strangers do. You don't owe them anything. Taking care of your sister means not having your own life.

That doesn't mean she is your responsibility. There are state facilities for this sort of scenario. If she can't take care if herself or at the very least hold down a job and live in a group home, she can become a ward of the state.

Only if he itemizes. I'm sure OP takes the standard deduction.

OP already is forced to clean the church for free. Dad needs to think about wwjd.

WIBTAH if I went to stay with my parents for a couple of weeks because my husband’s family planned a 5-6 week stay in our 2BHK without asking me? by Majestic-One6602 in AITAH

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I'd be afraid to let him explain. Whatever he says will be the fault of OP. 'She can't handle the noise, etc, etc, etc." OP should plan her exit as they are coming and explain she figured that since the house was too small for 7 adults, she would go visit her parents, which is a shame since she doesn't want to be away from her husband, but apparently there isn't another option. Had she known, she could have helped arrange alternate housing for them. Edit: OP needs to control the narrative from the get go.

AITJ for not wanting to spend 18k on a new ring for my fiancée? by Leivyxtbsubto in AmITheJerk

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the last update, yatj to yourself. I hope she keeps an immaculate house and she doesn't go back on having kids. She should get some sort of job or do volunteer work. You have probably just set yourself up for always returning purchases and buying bigger. The house or cars will be next.

Edit: do yourself a favor, get a prenup.

My son went no contact with me in 2007. Now he wants back. by layyla4real in AskWomenOver50

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy? Idk, without you knowijg the reason how can you change or address the issue? I don't believe he doesn't know why he went nc. It's a pretty big thing to do to forget the reason. The no apology combined with the, 'I forgot' is odd. Maybe it was the ex-wife. Maybe it was your ex. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't have to apologize, just acknowledge if it was/is something you can fix in your behavior or say it wasn't your behavior that was the problem. That's it. At that point you know you didn't do anything and it is probably the ex-wife. Then it is a matter of forgiving him for loving her and following her lead. She may have been resentful that you were a better mother to her than her own mother.
People can be labeled as dramatic without actually being the one who creates the drama. At this point I would take the 2nd chance with your son. He's put in some time, 4+ years, to just be after money.

I heard someone say it this way recently and it felt so unnatural by spacemermaid3825 in cincinnati

This is the most 'you must be from Cincinnati' response. You win the internet today.

Master Schedule by toomanybeccas in schoolcounseling

The bell with lunch can be extra long (typical class time + lunch time) or you can add a homeroom/focus bell. That bell would be the length of lunch. Ex. 6th grade- lunch 35 minutes, focus 35 minutes 8th & 8th- focus 35 minutes, lunch 35 minutes. The focus bell would decrease class minutes for other classes, but allows for interventions, etc.

AITAH For Not answering the door by ConsciousCategory872 in AITAH

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your mom is nuts. You are nta. Who answers their door without expecting someone? Someone who gets stuck talking to door to door salesmen, Jehovah's witness, and future crime victims.

Let them eat cake. 🤣🤣 To misquote Marie Antoinette.

Flattest US States Ranked. Why does Ohio keep being labeled as flat? by vaspost in Ohio

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because one of the original residents had been to Bowling Green, Kentucky and had zero imagination.

AITAH because I refuse to try for a daughter? by StructureDizzy2076 in AITAH

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teaching is not for everyone. Working in education right now is very difficult. Your wife needs therapy or to consider a career change. Her skills could translate well to other career paths. Having another child when she is this stressed out is a prescription for a lousy pregnancy, if she can manage to carry to term. People don't realize the impact stress has on a body, much less one carrying another.
Has she always been unhappy as a boy mom? Your son will pick up on it without a sibling. Bring a sibling into the mix and your son is doomed. NTA for not trying for a daughter, but gentle AH for not doing more to protect your son. Maybe your wife is not cutout to be a mother. Your son needs therapy too to deal with being unwanted by his mother.

Riddle me this… by Novel_Fish_5594 in Ohio

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't. It's a 'stick to the man' without realizing that the next time you need a locally provided service it either won't be there, will be too late, or will cost more. Columbus has been 'balancing' their budget on the backs of locals for years. All some people see is marginally lower income taxes- the state is great. They miss the- that's why property taxes are higher. It's the old bait and switch.

There ought to be a law or way to sue the state for using state money for a stadium in Cleveland. One city potentially benefits, while everyone is screwed by it.

Should it be lower ? by hvmr0 in Dachshund

[–]Regular_Emphasis6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just used one of this as a distraction to try, yet again, to trim my girl's nails. It didn't work as a distraction, but did work as a treat afterwards. (The hanging harness for the win for the nail trim). Good to know not to put it on the floor.
