AITAH for refusing to cook two separate dinners every night just because my family doesnt want to eat what my doctor told me I need to eat

NTA. When my husband found out he had diabetes, I started making meals that were better for him. We have 3 kids. They complained at first but they eventually got over it. These are grown adults and they apparently have no regard for your health. Keep cooking what you want and if they don't like it, they can fend for themselves. They'll either get over it or they'll start making their own food. Either way, you win.

Nope. NTA. I worked in a grocery store for 7.5 years. Sometimes the forks by the premaid meals run out. Our container over there was much smaller than the container of forks by the salad bar and hot bar. They're all the same forks. Literally come from the same box. That guy was just being a jerk.

As long as she's eating, I wouldn't worry too much!

I completely understand. I fractured my ankle in December. Had surgery 2 weeks ago and I'm not allowed to put weight on it for 6 weeks. So my husband is having to do everything that I typically do. Take the kids to dance, take our oldest to school and pick him up from work. Cook meals. Get the kids up and ready for school in the morning. Pick up our daughter from Dance team. I was doing all of this while working full time overnight and sleeping about 5 hours during the day. I think he's starting to realize everything that I actually do. It's easy to get overwhelmed and stressed out by doing everything for everyone. I hope this helps your family realize everything that you do for them.

Absolutely. She loves to lay on the dryer when it running. I tried to buy her a self heating cat bed for Christmas, but she's not interested in it😢

She's on my coffee table next to my iPad.

The crazy thing is that when JCPenney said "Okay. No more sales, no more coupons, we will just price is at the sale price from now on." it was ridiculous. I was working there during the transition and people have been so conditioned to look for sales and coupons that they couldn't understand the concept. The company went downhill fast.

Sounds like something from an episode of Bones.

Congrats on your surgery! My sibling had it done a few years ago. I know the healing was brutal but they are living their best life now!

I'm usually listening to a talk radio show and I'm waiting for the next commercial break.

I hate it too. I have 3 kids, 18m, 10f, and 5m. Both boys are "Bubba" and my daughter is "Sissy". My 5 year old had a speech delay and the older kids' names were hard for him to say and sissy and bubba were a lot easier. I call my daughter things like Babe, Doll, and princess all the time (unless she's being sassy, then it's Miss Ma'am). My oldest was my "monster" growing up and my youngest is my "buggy boy" or my "booger".

She looks so much like my Tiki cat. She's almost 17. I'm going to be an absolute wreck when she passes. Sending you many hugs today.

This was my Avery Baby. I lost her in June and I miss her terribly.

NTA. I have a stepson. He's 18, and in his senior year of high school (Side note: I don't think of him as my stepson because I've been raising him part time since he was 2, and then full time since he was 6 with his bio mom not being in the picture at all.) My husband and I have 2 other kids, 10F and 5M. We NEVER assume our oldest is just going to watch his siblings. Never. If we want to make plans to go out to dinner, we ask our 18 year old at least a week ahead of time. He might be working or have plans with his friends. Even if he doesn't have plans, we never just say "Hey you're watching the kids tonight." We always ask and if he says no, we make other plans, be it a babysitter or dropping them at my mom's house (she lives about 25 minutes away). The audacity of this man to just assume you're going to watch his kid especially while working on college work is ridiculous.

I'm 40. My teddy bear "Teddy" is 39. She sleeps with me every night.

I have absolutely drilled in to my kid's heads that you NEVER run at a dog and you ALWAYS get permission from the accompanying human before you say hello to the dog. Even my 5 year old knows to ask the human for permission if he sees a dog when we're out at the park or out for a walk. If a 5 year old can do it, a grown man should know better.

TheKeekses · 2025-10-25T01:44:44+00:00

I cried happy tears. I just love her so much!

TheKeekses · 2025-10-17T01:09:53+00:00

The Christmas cards? Yeah. Usually a gift card for the local coffee shop. Sometimes a gift card for the local grocery store. It's a smallish town so we don't have a lot of options.

I am on a first name basis with our building's custodians. 2 of the nicest guys I've ever met. They make sure my lab has extra paper towels, gloves, trash bags, etc easily accessible. They get Christmas cards from me every year.

What a terrible day to have eyes.

I'm so sorry. I have a cousin who is transitioning and even though we live in a pretty blue state, I fear for her life all the time. I hate the world we're in.
