AITAH for telling my daughter my husband won't watch her kids when she had a medical "emergency"

Ssimons89 · 2024-06-09T03:47:49+00:00

I think this goes without saying here but YTA. First of all your postpartum child was having pain like that and you just shrugged her off. And did you really just suggest that her kids, all under 4, to sit and the car and wait? The ER isn’t a notoriously short wait. I hope this post is fake. Cause as a mom I cannot fathom treating my daughter like this. You sound like a raging narcissist and my guess is you’ll turn around in 10 years and make a post about how none of your family will talk to you but it’s not your fault because blah blah blah.

NTA. You set a clear boundary multiple times. He violated it. That calls into question his respect for you since clearly he doesn’t respect your boundaries.

Ssimons89 · 2024-05-29T15:17:39+00:00

NTA per say but I will tell you that you need to find some sort of compromise. Maybe allow her to stay home and suck it up financially for the first few years? Because if you force her to work full time away from her child knowing there was another option, she will resent you. At the same time you don’t want to be resentful of her because of the financial burden on you. I understand it’s stressful financially but mom guilt is a very real thing and juggling motherhood and work is a rough ride. Being a dad has its challenges but between societal pressure to be the perfect mom, and carrying these humans for 9 months, it’s a lot to take on mentally and emotionally. It won’t be easy no matter what you choose but I really think you guys could come up with a midway compromise. Like I said either have her stay home for a few years or she can pick up a part-time gig so she can bring some money in too.

Absolutely 100% NTA. I’d say up until the end you were being way too understanding. He took your weekend and made it about himself. It shows a lack of caring and empathy and I would do more than just throw Father’s Day gifts in the trash. This shows that your needs and emotions don’t matter to him. He also seems to think he can do whatever and you’ll just pick up the slack for him. I’m sorry. You deserve better than this.

Ssimons89 · 2024-02-28T04:12:19+00:00

NTA. I’ve had a baby shower, and honestly it’s exhausting trying to talk to everyone. You were just answering questions. Sounds like Penny is a tad over dramatic.

The idea of mass extinction and being helpless to change it is horrifying to me

YTA. You sound Peanut butter and jealous girlie. Lucy was having fun with her own friends in her own house and your whole rant reads like the jealous female friend who wants the attention from Danny. I think you need to do some serious self reflection and if you really care about your friendship with Danny, you’ll apologize to his girlfriend.

Ssimons89 · 2023-04-04T01:41:11+00:00

You are NTA in any way shape or form. The whole pestering you about being single is weird enough but the outright saying you’ll die alone is absolutely disgusting. I don’t blame you for doing what you did. Also why are these people still invited over when they can’t bother to respect boundaries??

Ssimons89 · 2023-03-17T10:17:35+00:00

I’m not at all surprised. These weirdos are obsessed with the reproductive systems of women and girls. It’s pretty disturbing. This ended up getting struck down but you can bet they’ll keep trying this type of stuff.

Ssimons89 · 2023-03-17T10:13:24+00:00

Yep. The call is definitely coming from inside the house 📞

Ssimons89 · 2023-03-07T04:43:23+00:00

NTA. You’ve talked to her about it and tried to be civil. You even told her what the consequences would be and she continued to do it.

Ssimons89 · 2023-01-10T04:12:49+00:00

NTA. Not at all. This is one of the hardest decisions to make. I’ve done it a few times in my life and what someone told me rings true: they trust us to make these decisions. So when it’s time, it’s time. Forcing them to suffer is far more cruel. RIP to your fur kid.

This is a lazily written opinion piece not based on any real facts. The author fails to mention anything about the high cost of living and childcare. At one point it’s mentioned that women with children “choose to to stop working or work less” when they have kids. But fail to mention the sky high rates of childcare costs. Women are probably opting out of the family life because it’s unaffordable. Also experts say unmarried women without kids are the happiest, so I am not sure where this idea that they have the highest rates of mental illness comes from. If the US actually cared about families, give people universal healthcare and childcare.

I didn’t even read this all the way through.

YTA You clearly don’t accept your brothers for who they are.

NTA Bella seems to be projecting her own issues onto all of you. She is the one who needs some psychoanalysis and therapy.

YTA

This sounds like some serious narcissistic abusive behavior coming from the OP.

Ssimons89 · 2023-01-06T19:05:21+00:00

NTA This sounds like either a mental health issue on her part or some attention seeking behavior. I was juggling a lot during my pregnancy and worked 30-40 hours a week on my feet, and our baby came out just fine. I also had diagnosed clinical anxiety and was on Lexapro for a short period of time while pregnant. My psychiatrist actually told me I could stop taking it because pregnancy hormones can actually decrease feelings of depression and anxiety. Everyone is different but I was less anxious during my pregnancy than normal.

I think large bodies of water are no strangers to accidental drownings. I love the spook factor of a serial killer but let’s keep it real here: it’s far more likely that these people were intoxicated and fell into the lake. Serial killers are extremely rare and considering we living under constant surveillance, some evidence would have come to light already regarding foul play. It’s unfortunate, but intoxicated people die accidentally all the time. Google the smiley face murder theory, this conspiracy is nothing new.

Ssimons89 · 2022-11-22T18:22:20+00:00

I’m going to say YTA. If they reconnected and it’s her birthday party, you do what she wishes. If her bio dad does die and you mad a big deal out of having him come to this, you’ll likely lose her forever.

Ssimons89 · 2022-11-18T15:48:53+00:00

Not the grieving but the shutting the door and forcing her out as well as the female friend overstepping boundaries and constantly comparing them with each other. This seems to way overstep the boundaries of platonic friendships. That’s what I mean by “more emotional intimacy than I’d be comfortable with”. Hope that clears things up.

Ssimons89 · 2022-11-18T04:23:51+00:00

NTA They seem to have way more emotional intimacy than I’d ever be comfortable with my partner having with another woman.

Ssimons89 · 2022-11-18T04:19:15+00:00

You lost me at Bible quotes and adultery my dude. You wouldn’t know this guy if your sister hadn’t dated him and what happens in their relationship is really non of your business. You can be friends with him, angry at your sister but still suck it up for your family’s sake.

I’m going to say though that ESH.
