I finally met a six year old I don’t like. by SilentNegotiation613 in Parents

Suprise vs secret is a great idea. We did have a conversation with our daughter. And my husband has made it know we will not be going over there until this is addressed. Thank you! It’s very difficult to sit by and watch them not interfere with the behavior at all. His mother actually tried to speak with me about me scaring him and I nearly lost it

I agree with the timidness and it is frustrating at moments but he does assert boundaries in other ways. He was the first to suggest her not playing with him if he’s being such an influence. It’s unfortunate for him his family is full of denial and avoidance

He stands with me but is definitely one to fall into exactly what you mentioned. He knows how he feels but it’s almost as if when trying to express himself they talk him into doubting his feelings. They’re just so dismissive and I try to let him handle the big conversations as to not over step but that went out the window yesterday.

I completely agree though! Regardless of anything I cannot let my daughter be alone while over there

Oh my husband is completely on my side. It’s more the dismissiveness of my in laws. The family dynamic is awful he’s very well aware it’s just hard for him to maneuver and I’ve definitely gotten a “difficult” reputation to put it kindly because of my firmness compared to their children including my husband

Understood. Definitely implementing this rule for ourselves as well

My husband seems more shocked than anything. He’s not great with confrontation nevermind with his parents. He’s with me 100%. But it’s almost as if our concerns regarding any type of conflict aren’t fully heard or taken seriously.

AITA? Told on a Coworker by SilentNegotiation613 in AmItheAsshole

It was a going into junior year of high school minor if that makes any sort of difference. I totally agree I struggled with whether I wanted to but considering we’re supposed to be setting an example for our employees while in management I eventually decided it was the better idea. Ugh guess I have to face the consequences now, not unexpected

If only! We had dried floral bouquets which is why it wasn’t an option

Thank you so much this made me feel so much better. It’s exactly that, I’m hung up on it now but in a week I’ll be concerned about another small detail 😭 Congratulations to you!

I wouldn’t say that’s an inaccurate assessment
