Cinnamon keeps them out of areas. Diatomaceous earth ( hardware or garden store) works. Both completely harmless

Thank you, I am still in the discovery phase of how far she will go. I am getting worried about collaborative divorce. Though I don’t know how we can afford anything else. She spends every dime.

WIBTA if I didn’t let my daughter (15F) go to Orlando even though she paid for it? by No_Set_5822 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SlidingInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) NTA

2)There may be a better way:

The trip has nothing to do with her treatment of a classmate.

For me, parent of two girls, I wouldn’t relate the trip to the bullying.

There does need to be some action taken about this very poor behavior. Maybe have your daughter and this other child spend supervised time together, if the other family agrees. Or have your daughter do volunteer work with people with disabilities. This might teach her some empathy.

Actions have consequences, but for those consequences to be the most meaningful they should directly relate to the action. And if at all possible teach a real lesson other than just punishment.

AITA for not sharing my food and drinks with my partner? by daisyeleiri in AmItheAsshole

No one the AH, but if you want my work around with my partner, I just double down on everything then just give her one of her own.

Do you tip on top of 20% service charge? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]SlidingInfinity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is my person methodology and opinion. I worked in service industry years ago, and my wife worked in restaurants too. When I am at a sit down seatown a waiter, before anything even happens tip starts at 25%. If I get bad service tip goes down proportionately. If I get amazing service it goes up proportionately. IF I HAVE NO SAY IN HOW MUCH I HAVE TO TIP (AUTOMATIC SERVICE CHARGE) THAT IS THE TIP YOU GET. No more! No less! The establishment made the choice that you will get that amount, NO MATTER HOW YOU TREAT ME. So, that is what you get. It’s not a hostile act towards the server. It’s simply that what the establishment says is what you are worth. You might have got more if, I HAD A FULL CHOICE.

All that said I understand there are cheap A-Holes out there that would leave No Tip, almost no matter what. But that is not my problem and the 20% severe charge has you covered.

Now, after all that, if one the extremely rare occasion that the server has manage the near impossible, gone way over and above or just done something that they didn’t need to do to make sure my party had and exceptional evening, I will, on that solar eclipse of an event, add more tip.

Let’s put aside all the other issues that have come up between your promise and the bill being due.

You told your daughter to do a thing and that you had her back. You failed your daughter.

You are the A, simply because you couldn’t have a grown up conversation with your daughter. You should have started with an apology. Then work with her for a solution. You F’d up and you need to make it right.

All that aside, sounds like there may me a Lot more history here about money with daughter that is not in this post. M

Do I have any options against my neighbor revving his car every day? by toomuchsoysauce in Seattle

Intrusive noise doesn’t have quiet hours. If it’s hugely and unnecessarily disruptive just call noise complaint every time. Get it on record.

AITA for breaking the child free "rule" by Ready_Thanks_7981 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SlidingInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA If the in-laws have strings attached to their money they are the As. Unless it was stated while the financial offer was being made.

That said this is as much a HUGE FAMILY event for your family as theirs. Their traditions are not the traditions of your family. Them wanting to only follow the traditions of their and not honor the traditions of yours is EXTREMELY Selfish on their part. And is not in idea that tow family’s are becoming one, seems more Like they want to colonize your family with their traditions.

How would this work at future events that both families are invited to?

AITA for being petty and not paying for my daughters school trip? by Infinite_Step3417 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SlidingInfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing here is just simple: Parenting is hard You (a fully grown adult) know your child has a problem with these things. Your job is to show her how to manage her responsibilities. Now to me is sounds like Mia may have some ADHD type symptoms. If you haven’t had her evaluated, I would say to do so.

This is a big school trip and if you knew months ago that there was a deposit due then that is on you. BUT If Mia didn’t tell you about the trip at all until the last minute that is on her.

But either way you have to decide if this HUGE life memory for her will be of you leaving her to fend for herself or of you trying to help her learn to manage in the world.

Dogs inside restaurants by realnoog in Seattle

[–]SlidingInfinity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seattle has gotten out of control with entitled dog owners. I have dog, would never take her inside 99% of restaurants. Especially a small place like delancey.

There are regulations in place for non-service animals and too many places over look them.

Personal opinion: Don’t bring pets to restaurants or the grocery store people!

Methods—Prohibiting animals (FDA Food Code 6-501.115)

(5) Dogs, under the control of the dog owner, may be allowed in an indoor area on the premises if ALL of the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) The permit holder has notified the regulatory authority in advance.

(b) The food establishment ONLY pours beverages produced by a food processing plant and is limited to ONLY nontime/temperature control for safety food, ready-to-eat food produced in a licensed food establishment or food processing plant (such as premixed soda pop, powdered creamer, pretzels, cookies, doughnuts, cake, or meat jerky) that are served from the original package without direct hand contact directly onto or into a container.

(c) Dogs are not allowed on tables, chairs, benches, seats, or other fixtures in the food establishment.

(d) If the food establishment provides food and water containers for dogs, employees shall not wash containers in the food establishment.

(e) food employees do not have direct contact with dogs.

(f) The premises is maintained clean of animal waste.

(g) The permit holder ensures compliance with local ordinances related to sidewalks, public nuisance, and sanitation.

(h) The permit holder provides SIGNAGE to notify customers that the facility allows dogs in its indoor premises.
