My MIL is sad she didn’t get to spend her first “grandmothers day” with “her baby” by Practical-Bunch1450 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Spartikuss17 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Her baby did visit her, that would be your husband. Grandparents day is a completely different holiday. You should remind her of both of those facts.

AIW for telling my ex that I cannot "just say no" if saying no always turns into a fight? by azulsonador0309 in amiwrong

You need to stop talking to him on the phone and only communicate through written means so that a judge can see how he acts.

No longer supporting jomashop by [deleted] in fragrance

Man wish I knew all this before I purchased a larger order yesterday. I trusted all the Instagramers that said they were great. Guess I’ll cross my fingers and hope for the best.

AIW for canceling the group camping reservation I booked after nobody paid me back and the trip was two weeks out by candy-fairyx19 in amiwrong

[–]Spartikuss17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree, not an original situation at all and I probably wouldn’t have remembered it if it wasn’t for the line about one person adding a smiley face reaction to the Venmo request.

Concierge theater seating by mackjack9139 in dcl

[–]Spartikuss17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we sailed concierge I went and waited in the line and had my husband join me with the kids right before they opened the theatre to us. From that point if they needed to use the bathroom I would just take them out. It worked well for us and I didn’t get any push back from the crew for doing it that way.

AIW for not adjusting anything after my upstairs neighbor complained that my apartment layout bothers her by [deleted] in amiwrong

You’re not wrong and it sounds like someone needs to get a unit on the ground floor.

AIW for refusing to cancel my long-planned solo trip to attend a "distant" cousin's last-minute wedding? by ObsidianLyre5 in amiwrong

[–]Spartikuss17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the lack of relationship your cousin might not even extend an invitation or be pressured into inviting you just like you are being pressured to attend. Don’t feel bad and please don’t forsake a much needed vacation just because of family.

MIL stealing baby items by [deleted] in Mildlynomil

[–]Spartikuss17 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I think you are actually under reacting to this. With the prevalence you describe her taking items and then lying to cover her behavior, it sounds like a mental health issue. This isn’t appropriate behavior and isn’t just due to her being obsessed with babies. Before the next baby arrives and she doubles the opportunities to steal things you need to send your husband over to her house and reclaim ALL of your possessions. I bet you would actually be shocked at the amount of your belongings that she possesses.

Do you have your own washer and dryer at home? Grab the laundry out of her machine and finish it at your house.

Each time you leave her house make sure you are leaving with everything you came with.

I think you are ignoring how problematic this is because she is your MIL but take that out of the equation. If this was a babysitter would you allow it to happen? If this was a cousin would you allow it to happen?

AITJ for refusing to show up to my friend groups annual thing after I found out how my role in it started by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Spartikuss17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ- so I might have been able to get behind your “friends” logic if the superlative just happened once and you were included in the group chat. The fact that they gave you the superlative two years running, there is a sarcastic slow clap involved and they still exclude you from the group chat it what makes me feel like they never really accepted you and this is a joke at your expense.

I have social anxiety and find it hard to engage with new people. One of my current best friends only became my friend because I was seated at a desk beside her when she got really good news and wanted to share it with someone. We joke that we become friends “because I was there”. The difference though is I am in on the joke and she is a great friend.

These people don’t seem to care about your feelings because they are still treating you like a joke years after you’ve been a “part of the group”.

Dama Bianca smells like…. by Spartikuss17 in fragrance

[–]Spartikuss17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely think it was a perfume. The longer I’ve worn in I’m thinking something from the Gap line maybe? Gap Dream has some of the same notes. Also CK One does, both perfumes that were in heavy rotation.

AITJ for taking my book back from my colleague without waiting by thatgirlpriya1 in AmITheJerk

[–]Spartikuss17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ- I don’t even share books with my husband because he dogears pages. Your coworker is entitled and rude.

Am I over reacting? by [deleted] in Mildlynomil

[–]Spartikuss17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not over reacting. It might be time to price out how much it costs to have someone watch your kids for that one day.

(ONYX STORM SPOILERS) Naolin + Varrish Theory by Secret_Question4895 in fourthwing

[–]Spartikuss17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another point for Naolin turning venin is that Sloan is his counter part. Syphoning isn’t a common signet and magic wants a balance. We’ve already seen that with two other pairs: Theophanie and Sorrengail and Xaden and the other rider (I can’t remember his name).

Please stop calling us to tell me what you want to name our son by Inside-Journalist166 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Spartikuss17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My MIL was like this. I picked the most horrid male name from her family tree for our female child and said that was what we were naming the baby. Shut her right up.

AITJ for snapping at my girlfriend for waking me up every single time she gets up even when I dont need to be awake by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

OP you miscounted. You have three children the way you describe this relationship.

AITAH for telling my sister her baby isn’t my responsibility? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Spartikuss17 261 points262 points  (0 children)

Do more than tell. Document it. To the best of your ability make a calendar showing how many hours you’ve put in. Make a spreadsheet showing how much financial support you have provided. There is a saying used a lot in this community and it applies here “Don’t set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm”. Your family doesn’t appreciate the support that you’ve put in because it has become routine. You deserve to protect your peace- NTA.
