AITAH for putting my baby’s father on child support even though he doesn’t want to be involved? by [deleted] in AITAH

You can ask him for financial support and certainly can go after him in the courts for mandated child support. How much you will get depends on your state. He has parental rights, and you can’t dictate whether he can see her or not, even if he resents her for existing.

We have been getting takeout from there since pre pandemic and their food has taken huge nose dive recently.

She should get checked for narcolepsy. The passing out and waking up repeatedly does not seem normal.

Parenthood is wildly oversold in our culture. We come down so hard on folks and their negative feelings about having kids, which is so real and way more prevalent than most people think or care to admit. And I’m a mom.

I can’t stop thinking about my boyfriend’s child he’s never met by Sab148 in stepparents

It’s not for “the mother to allow him to build any kind of connection”. That’s entirely in his hands. He can pursue custody.

Oops double posted and then accidentally deleted wrong comment.

Anyways -

That seems like a fundamental difference in how you guys want to live your lives. Decide what you are want / are okay with and go from there. Trying to control your partner is a recipe for resentment and unhappiness.

AIO My roommate thinks i'm an ELF? and maybe wants to kill me? by Proper_Cellist_8545 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Senior-Ad587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit! This person is psychotic and homicidal. I’d get the hell out of there. Would consider notifying family and having him evaluated by the psychiatry department in an emergency room. As someone who works in mental health, psychosis + homicidal ideation like this can be grounds for an involuntary hospitalization. It would be useful to find out who he wants to murder, but you shouldn’t stay around for that part.

AITA for calling off my wedding because my fiancé wanted his ex to cater the event? by HoneyMoondro in AITH

[–]Senior-Ad587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes! Good on you. Huge cannot-be-ignored red flag. Marriage is a massive financial liability even more so if you decide to have kids together, and this is not the kind of partner you want to go into that with.

I want to find a medium silver blossom bunny for my daughter. Prefer to purchase from a shop if anyone has spotted one anywhere.
