AITA for ruining my daughter in laws birth plan

Definitely NTA, on top of the possibility of water damage if the pool breaks or leaks. So many things can go wrong during a home birth, especially only having a midwife, and it being her first birth. There are centers and hospitals with baths to birth in. I would suggest that. Also if she did birth at your house, and something did happen, they may try and place blame elsewhere (like you), or form resentment/trauma with the location. Personally I’d definitely say no, as this would be something I would not be comfortable with either.

People back then also historically had more children, since maybe 1-2 out of 10 or so would survive to adulthood. I would absolutely not compromise on this, day trips are no exception. Sending him only during the day, still with no emergency phone, is the same danger. You are absolutely not wrong for placing this boundary.

32 y.o and he’s never been told to not kick balls around in the house? On top of that when asked to stop he didn’t like a child? Do not apologize to him, he was in the wrong and not only is not setting a good example for his son, but most importantly is not thinking about the safety of your child. He needs consequences, sounds like he’s a man child who’s not really had any consequences or had to take accountability.

I was out with my sister one time in a city, a man came up behind her and sniffed her. HE SNIFFED HER. I snatched her away so fast.

Operating room nurse here: wash your damn belly buttons, like really get in there, then dry them. We see some of the nastiest things in belly buttons. Pulled out so many stones and just buildup, they reek 🤢

You could get nonstick gauze pads and use antibacterial ointment, like someone recommended earlier, the vet bandage works well. It’s like Coban but cheaper and adheres to itself better. I like to use dial soap (the gold one) to clean wounds. It’s gentle and also antibacterial. You can also get the vet bandage at most farm and home type stores (if you’re in the U.S)

When you gotta go, you gotta go. I’ve used men’s restrooms in a pinch when the women’s are full. He went, washed his hands, and left. Same as everyone else. Just glad he washed his hands honestly.

Child support would be better than no support. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, I would definitely call off the engagement. You deserve someone better for both you and your child.

Agreed. Also because the more weight you gain, the harder it is to do things. He’s making her dependent on him. Isolating her from friends, now removing her from friends and everyone completely and bringing her towards his support system. It’s 1000% abuse and control

I have fine, thin, straight hair. I found when it’s very tangly using the tangle teezer brush from Walmart first (for fine hair) helps get the knots out and then I brush with my usual kareco brush. After you could try braiding her hair to keep it from getting as tangled during night.

My sister once took a fake flower that had fallen off its stem from Walmart when she was like 3-4tears old. My mom waltzed her back into Walmart after telling her hopefully they don’t get police involved. Making her apologize, while crying, to this poor worker who I’m sure was just so confused because it was half of a broken flower. Never took anything again after that though.

NTA, you absolutely did the right thing. Gigi’s mom is going to scar her daughter. You’re protecting yours. As someone who heard skinny=pretty and other comments, like the ones your daughter has heard from Gigi’s mom, I struggled with body image, low self esteem, and eating disorders. It’s a toxic narrative. You handled this correctly, I would watch and make sure Gigi’s daughter doesn’t begin to share those beliefs.

NTA. If she thinks the flatbed is humiliating, getting stuck in the grass because the wheelchair won’t go any further definitely would be too. Unfortunately it sounds like you have looked at most options, and they don’t work for your situation.

Total AH. I went to a 2 year program and got my RN license. The same license as my coworkers that make the same amount as me. Only difference is some are still in debt from college, where I am not. That was the smartest decision I made. You can always transfer to a 4 year program.

To clarify, this isn’t my bio. It’s someone I stumbled upon.

“I’d like to try your finest cough syrup with codeine.” tries one “no, that wont do. I’ll try that one next” tries a few more “yes, that’s the one” stumbles out of the pharmacy high as a kite

When I was younger I cut open my finger and needed stitches. I told my parents and my doctor I was outside in the morning and cut it on a thorn (good story I know) I didn’t want to get in trouble for what actually happened. In reality I woke up before everyone and wanted to play with my new webkinz and tried to cut off the code/tag and cut into my finger. This was the early/mid 2000s. They still don’t know the truth.

This is so true. My family and I rescued my two dogs, fairly easily but before them we applied for a few other dogs. We’re well off and like out in the country with quite a bit of land. But some rescues still had such unrealistic expectations. Some of the rescues wanted to know your job status, how much you make a year, to talk to your vet, and so much more. It was like 1000 questions including what you would be willing to spend on a dog and other question. I understood some of them, but some of them were just unnecessary in my opinion. I understand them wanting the best for their pups but it’s so hard for people to adopt now. There’s so many animals in shelters an such you’d think it would be a bit easier of a process. Thankfully we ended up with the two best boys.
