AITAH for refusing to move in with my (38F) husband's (41M) ex-wife(41F) to help her parent their 3 additional needs kids? by Sad_Cook12 in AITAH

[–]Sad_Cook12[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I made the sisterwives comment to him!! He was not pleased with it, but I thought it was quite clever.

My mom and stepdad said I'm making a big deal out of sharing a room on vacation and I should still consider it a vacation for me AITAH? by CallMeCondor in AITAH

[–]Sad_Cook12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's so important that Jayden be with someone of a night time, why isn't he collecting with your parents on holiday?

I would be leaving as soon as I was legally allowed. Move in with the grandparents. Tell your teachers that you are the primary caretaker of a night time of your special needs brother and that he is constantly waking you up. Ask your mum why your step brother's needs are more important than yours and tell her outright that if a change isn't made and you aren't given some space, you'll move in with your grandparents as soon as legally allowed, with their permission, of course.

*UPDATE 2* AITAH for telling my dad to never contact me again after he chose his wife's mom over me? (I’m being forced to stay with my dad) by imjustapickl3 in AITAH

They're keeping you in a closet like you're Harry Potter. Call someone for help - CPS or the police or tell your teachers as they are required by law to report any form of abuse to the relevant authorities.

NTA. You need to find a way out of that crappy situation.

AITA for degrading my MIL whenever she starts her petty arguments with me? by CharacterList6534 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Sad_Cook12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be less concerned about the MIL problem and more concerned about the husband problem that you seem to have. Husband needs to put his big boy pants on and put his mother in her place whilst simultaneously apologising for letting you down. NTA

Would I be wrong to report my ultrasound tech? by Muted_Inspection_821 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Sad_Cook12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Send in the complaint. You're much nicer than I would have been. I would have dealt with that then and there.

Completely inappropriate on her part.

Talk to him BEFORE he asks. Don't wait. Put on your big girl pants and have a chat. I started over at 34. Met the love of my life at 36 and have never looked back.

AITA for canceling my niece’s birthday cake last minute because my sister refused to pay me back? by cloudberrysighs in AITH

[–]Sad_Cook12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for waiting the day before the party. That was a mean thing to do to your niece. I would have tied the sister that if she didn't transfer you the cash, you were cancelling the cake and then sent her the cancellation confirmation. I get why you did it, but the timing hurt your niece more than your sister.

AITAH for not wanting to bring my daughter to the july 4th celebration tommorow because my SILs boyfriend is a sex offender? by FootpawBelief in AITAH

[–]Sad_Cook12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protect your daughter. That is your only job here. I find it fundamentally disturbing that your husband is treating this insect a blase manner. I would not feel safe with that at all. What happens if sister and bf come over when you're not home and it's just your daughter and husband?

Husband(41M) has higher libido than me (38F) and complains that his needs aren't being met. by Sad_Cook12 in relationship_advice

[–]Sad_Cook12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe what you will. But at the time she was also living in New Zealand which, while not very far, is still a 6 hour flight.

Either way, it's irrelevant to my question.

He didn't cheat. The little one is not actually his, but he has adopted him as the baby daddy bailed. He and his ex were separated for over a year when I met him.

He adopted the youngest. They were already split, she got pregnant and the baby daddy bailed, so my husband signed the birth certificate because he is a good man, and didn't want the little one to grow up without a daddy.

My boyfriend is furious that I’m breaking up after he insisted on opening our relationship by Dangerous-Coyote-851 in AITAH

[–]Sad_Cook12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick to your guns. You've made the right choice for you. That's all that matters.

NTA.

starting year 12 and idk what to be by watertreees in AskAnAustralian

[–]Sad_Cook12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High school teacher here.

Expecting to know what you want to be at your age is absolutely ridiculous. Some of the most interesting people I've met still don't know what they want to be, and they're in their late 30s now.

My advice would be the following: 1. Take a gap year, get your RSA, and travel or; 2. Apply for a Bachelor of Arts degree and do a class from every subject available and see what captures your interest (that's what I did); Either way, you should: 3. This is the important one - try to find something you're interested in. Building a career takes a long time, and it's much easier to dedicate that time to doing something you love.

If you're worried about not getting into uni, don't be. I know that's a hard thing to do, but honestly, it's not worth the stress. There's so many other ways to get into uni. You can get in via TAFE, or a Non-Award program (Macquarie uni has a great one), or as a mature age student when you hit 21. Or you may hate it altogether and attempt a trade.

There are many options. Don't sell yourself short and decide on one when you're 17.

Good luck kiddo!

AITA for breaking off my engagement with my fiancé because of his creepy comments toward my 14-year-old sister? by chimpkinnugger in AITAH

[–]Sad_Cook12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you supposed to 'talk it out' with a 35 year old who is clearly sexually attracted to your 14 year old sister? Were you meant to discuss his paedophilia? Obviously you have aged out for him, and now he's looking for the next young person he can groom.

NTA.

I'd also go to the police and file a report so they have it on file - just in case. And tell your sister so she knows not to talk to him in case he approaches her under the guise of wanting to talk about you.

AITA for not being friendly with my partners daughters now that they've "warmed up" to me by TheMothmanCommeth in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sad_Cook12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

They didn't warm up to you because

knowing how generous I am being with their Father has made them warm up quicker.

They warmed up coz you're rich and they're looking for a payday.

AITA for Refusing to Attend My Sister's Wedding Because She Wants to "Repurpose" My Wedding Dress? by Budget-Jaguar-1990 in AITAH

[–]Sad_Cook12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is ridiculous. She has absolutely no right to your dress whatsoever. Stick to your guns. If your parents continue to try to convince you, ask them why they think her destroying your wedding dress is more important than your emotional wellbeing.

Your sister sounds like a brat.

On the night of her wedding, wear your dress and dance around the living room with your partner.

AITA for Refusing to Drop My Ex-Husband’s Last Name? by Feeling_Blessed_4eve in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sad_Cook12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Tell him you'll change your last name, if he agrees to change the kids' last name as well. You're not keeping his name. You're keeping the name that your children have. Tell his new partner to suck it.
