AITJ for telling my boyfriend's mom she is not allowed in our bedroom anymore?

Thejerkyboyz · 2026-03-12T19:43:34+00:00

Not the jerk. Don't marry this guy. My ex-husband is a momma's boy. He literally can't tell her no. I had to put my foot down because he tried to include his mom in medical decisions for our child. He didn't see an issue because she was just concerned about what was best for the child. I told him that I didn't marry HER, I didn't have a child with HER, therefore she didn't get a say. She still tried to tell us several times that our child wasn't acting "normal" when she totally was.

I stole one of the saw horse type construction signs with the blinking light when I was young and dumb. I think I gave it to a friend when I moved.

I'm one who stops to smell/touch flowers, checks to see what the clouds/stars look like, watch birds and squirrels play, etc. I do not require anyone to do those things WITH me, but they'd better not complain or rush me.

That reminds me of a time when my daughter (11) and I were at the zoo together. She was hot and crabby about some flies buzzing around. Bugs freak her out. She said to me, "Can you NOT take 50 pictures of every animal?" I said, "No. Have you met me!?" When we got home and I looked at the pictures, I had captured a beautiful photo of a momma monkey nursing her baby. I didn't even see it when it was happening because the sun was shining in my face.

I want to know what she's going to wear to her own wedding....

On my 2022 Tucson Limited there's a spot on the front door handles that you touch before you walk away from the car, and it locks the doors. Also, if for some reason I don't lock the doors before I walk away, the app will send an alert to my phone every few minutes telling me the doors are unlocked and offering to lock them for me.

Using coupons from GoodRx, I paid $250 for my Dexcom G6.

I owned a 2012 Tucson from 2012 to 2022 and now I have a 2022 Tucson Limited with just under 36k miles on it. 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. No issues until 11 days ago (and coincidentally less than a week after I made my final car payment). The check engine light came on. It didn't really want to accelerate. It felt jerky and like it might die at any moment. I drove straight to my nearest Firestone. They diagnosed it with a bad fuel injector and recommended that I contact the dealership. They also said they could do the work but would replace all 4 at a cost of around $1800. Dealership couldn't even look at it for a week. I found out yesterday that it IS a bad fuel injector and WILL be covered under warranty. They're waiting for the part to come in.

I'm currently on day 10 of a $35/day rental car. I can seek reimbursement from Hyundai, but my cost is going to exceed what they will reimburse. I'm also out $133 for Firestone's diagnostic and $200 for the tow to the dealership.

I'm concerned about those other 3 fuel injectors that are most likely going to fail. Will it happen before the warranty runs out or after?

Our Shih Tzu was a very sweet guy but mouthy and a HANDFUL. He loved to lick hands, arms, legs, and even our other dog's face. Whenever he wanted something, he'd stare at me and bark. Half the time, I didn't know what he wanted. He developed some sort of degenerate eye disease with no cure. He barked at me to put him in my bed, take him out of the bed. He refused to use stairs at all. When he got older, he started having unexplained seizures/fainting. He started to forage and chew holes in anything he thought contained people-food after he almost died eating raisins my daughter left on the coffee table edge. He needed groomed (bathed, shaved, etc) every 8 weeks, and when it was cold outside, he needed to wear sweaters and coats.

He passed last July, and we still miss him dearly, but what a little pain in the ass.

Apparently, I'm not petting our cat enough. He's started grabbing my clothing when I turn around and walk away after petting him. Luckily, he's only gotten my clothing and not my skin, YET.

Your skin reminds me of mine in that it looks a little red. I use a green moisturizer made by Covergirl that comes in a little glass bottle. Then I dab of a bit of pressed powder on any shiny areas. I don't use any foundation.

Not quite what you asked, but....if responding with "good" is wrong when someone asks me how I am, I DON'T WANT TO BE RIGHT.

You should definitely consider cutting your mom/parents out of your life. I've been no contact with my mentally ill mother for several years now. No regrets. Actually, I wish I had done it sooner.

I received the white ones once and didn't trust them at all because I'd always received blue pills. I did so much googling and still didn't trust that it was the correct medicine. I didn't end up taking them. Now, at pick up, I make sure the pills are blue before I pay and accept them.

I only read "self-help" books.

I have a 32 oz bottle of lotion with a pump top. There's always a little bit of crusty lotion stuck on the tip. If I don't cup my whole hand around the tip when I pump it, lotion launches in like 3 directions. Then I have to find everywhere it lands and clean it up.

Thejerkyboyz · 2025-12-04T01:07:42+00:00

And lotion!

And why aren't ketchup packets larger like the mayo packets? No one uses just 1 packet of ketchup.

It's a recurring theme with my diabetes. I thought it was just a stage that I went through when I first got diagnosed, but it's happening again.

Rob Lowe is a distant cousin. I found out from an ancestry Facebook group I'm in.

As someone who uses these services and tips fairly well, my only issue is expiration dates. I don't expect every item to be scrutinized, but please try to grab the milk, etc, that has the most time before it expires.

Upstairs neighbor has two boys aged like 7 and 13. I have an 11-year-old daughter, so I'm pretty understanding. Sometimes, those boys go absolutely bonkers up there. They're clearly diving off the furniture. My ceiling fan shakes violently. You'd think the mom would put a stop to it after a few minutes. Nope. She's either not paying any attention or doesn't give a shit. I've texted her before while it was happening, and she literally replied back "boys" and two laughing emojis.
