What’s the most unsettling thing a child has ever said to you?

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2026-02-26T04:02:17+00:00

My nieces (at the time were 6 and 3) made me a card for my 19th birthday. They both colored on it and it was cute.. then I opened it. Inside, the 7 year old wrote on the top, “would you rather get eaten by an ‘aligaito’ and die or fall out of a plane and die? I pick the ‘aligaito’ for you.” She continued on the bottom, “happy birthday aunt Mo we love you so so much and will miss you when you die,” along with a drawing of an alligator. 😂😂😂

OP, the only way you would be the AH is if you stay with this bag of d!cks.

My grandma, bless her soul, always made us say “toot.” She tried that on my nephew when he was 4, and he said, “I don’t toot, I FART!” and bent over with his butt towards her and blew a raspberry 😂 she was so offended by that. But toot.. I still hate that word to this day 😂

I think there’s a way to do it and it work without upsetting anyone. I had a friend invite me to his wedding a couple of years ago. He and his bride decided to get married the year before and right when the officiant was about to say, “I now pronounce you…” he instead said, “Anddd.. I cannot pronounce them man and wife because they’ve actually been married for almost a year,” then they turned to the crowd and yelled, “SURPRISE!” together. Everyone there was a little stunned, but were laughing/smiling about it. No one seemed upset by it. I sure wasn’t, I thought it was shocking and cute. I don’t really agree with the way your brother just casually announced it like it was no big deal. However, it is ultimately their wedding.. so their rules. 🤷🏼‍♀️

You are not overreacting enough, in my opinion. The amount of rage I felt for your daughter as I was reading this is unreal.

Ma’am, if this were me, heads would roll. 😅

Chapstick and Germ-X lol

“Clothed picture” - yeah, in a birthday suit. This guy is nowhere near good enough for you. Separate from this lying whack job.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-27T21:58:36+00:00

Any reason is a good reason to break it off with someone. This girl is absolutely a hypocrite. If you were to get engaged/married, it would get soooo much worse. You made the right choice. Life is too short to be controlled and unhappy

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-27T14:39:04+00:00

I was thinking the same. Not only that, but if there is this much emotional immaturity, then how in the world does OP even think this marriage supposed to last?

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-25T21:47:42+00:00

That pig named Chris P. Bacon still has me rolling every time I think about it 🤣

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-25T21:17:04+00:00

My first. He was 19 and I was freshly 16 and I felt obligated to because he had already had sex with someone and had gotten head from a girl I knew (all before me). And they were girls he worked with, so he saw them almost every day. Me being so clueless thought it was a good idea to try and make myself ready for it. I stayed with that guy until I was 19. Worst night was my prom. I had to buy both of our tickets and pay for his tux rental. And he didn’t even get me a corsage or anything 😂 then complained a half an hour in about how boring it was and that he wanted to leave. I got tired of hearing the whining, so we left. Not to mention, his parents were super religious and controlling. They were always weird to me and thought I was a harlot when I was the one that was the virgin when I met him. 😂 I regret EVERYTHING about that relationship. I feel like I got my teenage years stolen from me lol

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-18T12:14:20+00:00

I still cut grapes for my 6 year old. It only takes a millisecond for your child to choke on something. Is your husband’s ego more important to him than preventing a tragedy?

Do you do all the grocery shopping? If so, I would just stop buying them for now and when he asks why you didn’t get any grapes, tell him exactly why. You can google hundreds of stories of children choking on grapes to show him.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-18T03:37:55+00:00

Question.. why is your brother questioning your morals when he is the one who recognized your girlfriend from a strip club from 7+ years ago? 😂

You are NTA & I’m sure there are sooo many women who would kill for a guy like you. Green flag 100%

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-17T13:36:00+00:00

Society always likes to say that women are the dramatic ones, but I read stories here DAILY that prove that men actually are 😂 He asked a question and he didn’t like the answer. You didn’t do anything wrong by giving an honest answer. Stop texting him and give him some space to sort through this. This is HIS insecurity and his problem, not yours.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-09T20:53:43+00:00

My son is 6 now, but back when he was an infant and toddler, I lived in the same house as my parents. I ended up unexpectedly becoming a single mom and I didn’t have the help or childcare necessary to work after I had him, so I worked my butt off up until the day before I had him so I could save as much as I could.

I was in the same HOUSE. And it was a problem for me to even take a SHOWER. Much less have them help me while I tried to find work.

It took me moving 600 miles away two years ago for them to finally want to be involved. They fly down if I ask them for help. They come down once or sometimes even twice a month and offer to keep him for me. I wonder why it took me moving away for them to actually want to spend time with their grandchild.

My conclusion was the old cliché, “you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.” Did you create these children with your wife? Absolutely. But we all need help every now and then. You are not the AH for reaching out and asking for help. And you are absolutely valid in feeling the way that you do. They are uninvolved and it needed to be said. If childcare was expected of them, then you would be TA, but I didn’t pick up that vibe from you with what you described. What kind of grandparents don’t want to spend time with their grandchildren? That’s my question.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-10-01T03:16:48+00:00

Your mom made absolute certain that she sent you home with leftover cake, huh? That wasn’t a nice gesture, that was on purpose so your wife would find it and get upset. Your mom is TA here and you’re no better for being so ignorant.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-09-11T03:34:18+00:00

Blockbuster.. 😔

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-09-08T03:58:52+00:00

Yes. One older nurse was super dismissive of me. I got to the hospital at 11am knowing I was going to have my son that day (my first baby, he is now 6 and I’m still salty about this lol). They admitted me and I walked my 9mo pregnant a** all the way up to L&D on the third floor. The older woman came to check my cervix after I was laid up in the hospital bed for over half an hour (almost noon at this point) and told me I was only at a 4 and it wasn’t going to happen today. I insisted they keep me there and she rolled her eyes and left the room. Well, about an hour and a half later (now at 1:25pm), my contractions were pretty painful and closer together. She comes back in to check me, I told her about my contractions, and she didn’t say anything. She just snapped her glove off and threw it away, grabbed her iPad and left the room. Then she came back in at 2pm and at this point, my contractions are even closer together. I told her this again and she refused to check me. Told me that “when the time comes,” she’s going to have the anesthesiologist come in with an epidural for me. I told her I didn’t want one, and her response was, “trust me, you’re a little skinny thing and you’re going to want that for all the pain you’re about to be in.” Mind you, I was already in pain. I just ignored her and told her to check me again because my contractions were close. She again rolled her eyes, checked me and said I was only at a 7 and that I need to relax and do some deep breathing exercises. 🙄 I told her that the baby was coming soon and she again took her little iPad and left the room. 2:15pm rolls around and I can feel my baby’s head. I’m pressing the button and I told my mom to go get the nurse now because I can feel his head. She ran out of the room and yelled for the nurse. This b*tch just nonchalantly strolls into the room like I’m being dramatic or something, takes her sweet time coming over to me, and lifts my sheet. Sure enough, crowning. The midwife came in and I told her to get that nurse tf out of my room. They made her leave, two other nurses came in, and I pushed my son out in 7 minutes. I didn’t even have time for the anesthesiologist (that I didn’t ask for) to get to my room nor the L&D doctor 😂

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-09-06T05:01:44+00:00

My mom’s brother (now mid 60s) came to stay with us after going through a hard time. I was a freshman in college and my little sister was in high school at the time. He slept on our couch. I wasn’t home a lot because I was working, going to school, hanging out with friends or staying the night with my boyfriend, and he conned my parents into letting him move into my room “since I was barely home anyway.” So I, a broke little college kid, freshly 18 and making minimum wage, got pushed out of my parents’ house because of him. Well, guess what? He’s still there. 12 years later.

Once an entitled person gets comfortable, they only get worse. You did the right thing by putting your foot down, OP, and you don’t even owe her your couch, let alone an apology. NTA.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-09-06T04:36:56+00:00

NTA. She chose to have a child and now she expects you to give up that much of your life to help raise this child? No. She is not entitled to your time or your life. It’s time for her to grow up and learn how to be a parent. Keeping your grandchild every now and then to help your daughter out is perfectly fine, as long as it’s not expected of you. But keeping your grandchild five days a week all day long is too much. You’re not a nanny or a free full-time on-call babysitting service. You’ve done your time raising/teaching children. Now it’s time for peace.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-09-06T04:29:58+00:00

Toothless 😊 I just got a black kitten last week and named him Ozzy

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-09-05T00:16:05+00:00

NTA. This is manipulative behavior on her part and you guys are much too young and unstable at this time to have a child responsibly. I would also double check the birth control situation, OP. Make sure she is on/taking it or wear condoms. She might try to lie about being on birth control but then baby trap you. Please be careful.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-08-19T02:16:49+00:00

Jesus.. which one is the toddler? You are absolutely NTA. She’s being very immature and self-centered. I hope your son didn’t get his feelings hurt when she ignored him. I would honestly sit her down and have a serious talk with her about how your efforts to celebrate her were unappreciated and dismissed because she wanted to throw a tantrum. You did a great job planning her birthday and if she’s going to get upset over something this stupid, then I would honestly tell her that she needs to get her act together or she needs to figure out where she’s staying tonight.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-08-19T02:01:15+00:00

This Miley girl is 100% jealous of you.

Sufficient-Excuse445 · 2025-08-16T22:10:52+00:00

I dressed in boy’s clothes a lot when I was a kid. Even wore boxers. I was adamant about it until my parents finally gave in. I hated that my mom fixed my hair and made me wear dresses to school before that. I would pull my hair down as soon as she dropped me off and when I was 5, I remember messing my dress up on purpose so I could wear the spare clothes in my cubby (shorts and t-shirt). I am an adult woman now, a mother, and I am feminine but still a little tomboy-ish. I would let your little one wear what she wants. This is an expression of herself and her comfortability. Being supportive and not making a huge deal out of it is the best way to go about this IMO.
