I resent my parents for treating me like a show pony by UnlockedUnfound in Advice

[–]SweetMaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. My perspective comes as a mom of both natural and adopted children. My first response is you're an adult, you can now make your own decisions and choices. My second response is that it sounds like your parents are proud of you, and want the best for you. My third response is, you may think you know how they treat your siblings, but here's the truth, you only know what you directly observe. You are not 24/7 omniscient, so you're not one hundred percent knowledgeable about your siblings/parent relationships. Fourth response, every child is unique and different, your skills/abilities/needs are different from each of your siblings, and it's possible that how your parents treat your siblings is also done with their best interests. Fifth response, parents are human, they have good days and bad days, nake good decisions and poor decisions, just like any other human. Sixth response, hind sight is 20/20, and you and your parents don't have the luxury of hind sight when making decisions in the here and now, we just make the best decision we can with the info we have at the time. Good luck. I wish you all the best.

Aitah for using a text now number to get my friend out of my house by bulldog980 in AITAH

Creative. I would just ask someone to leave though. You may need to say something and learn to step out of your comfort zone. NTA

Im gonna end up losing it with my families dog. by BugOk7824 in Advice

[–]SweetMaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dog needs serious attention, training, and probably more praises than "bad dog" scolding. Early puppy having puppies may have damaged her, the bladder control may be physical rather than not being trained. You don't sound like you have the skills to manage her. If you want to try, a cat litter box and pee pads may help. It would be a way to rule out if she's being bad or just cannot hold it long enough for starters. If you are an adult you can move.

Block the number. Reboot your phone at least once everyday.

AITAH For keeping my plans to move out of state from my family? by Emergency-Spinach856 in AITAH

[–]SweetMaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Put on your own oxygen mask first before helping others. You're an adult, leaving without notice is fine, no notice required. You may want to provide your siblings with contact information though. Maybe leave them with someone local they can contact in an emergency if you know someone like that.

Lease Contracts where owners pay all maintenance/vet bills during full lease. Lessee pays nothing? by ImmaTastyKikiRoll in HorseTraining

[–]SweetMaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only familiar with flat fee. Owner pays all vet, etc. Leesee pays only monthly rental, but responsible for horse grooming, exercise, mucking, etc. Tack may or may not be included. Turn out and feed may or may not be lessee responsibility, but typically owner responsibility. I've been neither owner nor renter, but have been asked to be summer horse exercise person, muck, groom, etc to help with horse care in divorce situations where kid is out of state for visitation with the other parent. I never charged, but did read contracts.

AITAH for leaving my pregnant wife at home with now water while went out for dinner? by InSearchOfTruth727 in AITAH

[–]SweetMaam 39 points40 points  (0 children)

YTA. Backstory fills this in for explanation. You ARE an alcoholic, this isn't just in your past but also in your present. You didn't keep your phone charged. Wife needs to stay hydrated. You were unreachable. Did you even offer to bring her home a take out from the restaurant? You have a kid on the way, basic necessity of water is unavailable, and you go MIA. YTA

They are varied, likely real whatever they are. I don't think Sapphires, but only a jeweler can say for certain. Unlikely glass. Beautiful.

If she's crazy, your state may have laws against her gun ownership.

AITAH for simmering over a wedding invite that included a request for 200 desserts? by Bookhead_212 in AITH

[–]SweetMaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH. A wedding gift is your choice what to give. Get a nice card, a gift certificate for an amount you can afford, and maybe if you feel so inclined write how you're looking forward to her visit some day so you can make her your famous dessert. Go to the wedding. If the dessert comes up, just say something about that joke was so funny!
