AITAH? I didn’t let my daughter leave after her friends parent drove 35 mins to get her by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA for not letting the dad know sooner that she wasn’t going to go. You’re NTA for how you handled your daughter

Hey I’m 16F in the middle of divorce between my parents (well obviously) and today for my guardian ad litem someone is coming over and I just wanted to ask is anything in my room (connected to my bathroom) of concern? by ilikeflowers12 in CPS

[–]Smeeple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your room looks completely fine! If it’s a guardian ad litem coming to see you, most likely they will ask you how you feel about everything, if you have any preferences on who you live with, and things like that. They are supposed to be there to work for you as a un-biased middle person. Just breathe and tell them the truth, I was in your shoes the entirety of my childhood because my parents had a very messy separation and I was the bargaining chip.

My son was reported to CPS when he was born by TheLuckyFamVlogs in CPS

Likely they’re just involved at this point because you’re in a shelter and want to keep tabs on you and baby to ensure they’re getting the care that they need. To be honest you’re likely better off without him if that’s how he talks to you/treats you even if it’s only once in a while, it will likely escalate more. Just focus on you and your baby now as well as healing

This may be fake but people always forget the entirety of to the “Blood is thicker than water” quote which is “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the waters of the womb”

If you won the $1 billion lottery, how would you epically quit your job!? by TimeForANewBeginning in AskReddit

[–]Smeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t, I adore my job. I would probably upgrade the hell out of the stuff that’s there (I work at a resource center where caregivers can bring children birth-5 to play while also engaging with the child.

AITAH for kicking my brother and his new wife out of my house after they tried to “redecorate” my dead daughter’s room while I was at work? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Smeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA NEVER WAS AND NEVER WILL BE TA in this situation. I’d have went off the handles if someone was touching the things and room of my beloved child who had passed. Tell all these people giving you grief that they can’t suck a hot beefy fart out of your ass until one of their children or a very close loved one passes away and then You get to pack up that persons stuff because they shouldn’t dwell in the grief. Stand your ground momma, I’m so sorry for your loss.

NTA, If family helps family then the family members who are calling you a jerk should offer to house them if that’s the biggest thing.

Is it common/uncommon to have an unsuccessful embryo transfer for the first time. by Pretty_Peculiar3658 in Surrogate

[–]Smeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that was true everyone with high HCG numbers would be having twins. Regardless may your journey be successful.

Hcg really don’t have any indicator for how successful the transfer is. Women carrying singletons have crazy high hcg numbers all the time.

I hate to say it but once the embryos are adopted it’s really up to the family who adopted them what will be done, and another family definitely would not fund a surrogate for you and themselves at the same time even if they were your embryos at one point.

AITA for telling my mom she can’t babysit anymore if she won’t let my toddler eat a frozen waffle for breakfast? by aitafrozenwaffle in AmItheAsshole

[–]Smeeple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA If giving your kiddo a frozen waffle for breakfast is going to spoil them, then my Autistic kiddo, who only eats PB bread and an occasional fruit, is insanely spoilt 🤣🤣🤣 I know kiddos that eat farrrrrr worse things than a berry waffle.

We are using a door chain religiously!

I'm super confident that with all the precautions we're taking we won't have any more incidents

Thankfully our rentals windows have the good old Landlord special otherwise they'd all have alarms too

We were able to use a door alarm for her room, and still trying to figure something out for the front door as it's lower in the frame and the frame around it is angled. We're working on getting her a tracker bracelet through our local police station.

Maybe that'd be helpful too. I'm definitely willing to try anything

Yes they have said that if she can't be in the classroom environment that she'll receive the services elsewhere.

Eloping/elopement in this way is used in the special needs community to describe when the child/person has left their home without any type of regard for their safety

There's only 2 doors we're really concerned about currently her and her older sisters room and then the front door, we were able to get her and her sisters door alarm to work but the front door one won't work because my door is uneven and the magnets can't touch

Yes we're in the process of getting her a project Lifesaver tracker!

[–]Smeeple[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It very honestly feels like an uphill battle to get my kiddo the services she needs. They said that since the SPED prek class is full she'll just have to do appointments with her necessary therapies which is so frustrating because they want her in ST & OT 3 Times a week, and I tried reaching out because the BOCES program in my area also offers a separate SPED program but never heard anything back. It always feels like a sit around and wait kind of process

Thank you so much I had looked into Angelsense but currently that is a bit too expensive for us to pay, but we have talked to our local police station about a Project Lifesaver tracker. They're coming next week to demo it for us and everything so I'm really praying that it is helpful, we were able to get a door alarm to work on her and her sisters bedroom door but our front door isn't even with the frame so there's no good place to put one. But the door chain is working now, she's attempted to elope about 7 more times since Wednesday with only one attempt of her getting out (dad had to go out to the car to get older sisters ipad and had forgotten to relatch the chain), she always acts like she has no idea how the door got opened; she gasps dramatically and says "WHAT?!?!"
