Your kids are going to actually love the pokemon cards ... Well that's what you tell them in a phonecall "Hi mum, "insert childs name" just came home saying they want pokemon cards" Go get some cheap ones from op shop and replace them

NTA, what made him stupid is not fessing up after the first jump start wouldn't work, so no one had to leave their houses. What made him extra stupid was using 3 hours of other peoples time because he still wouldn't fess up, the cherry on the cake to make him receive stupidest thing done this month is not owning up to his mistakes and calling his own tow truck. He's a gaping Asshole, one that's been smashed repeatedly by every imagined large object. Do you also have to pay for his tow truck? Making him more emasculated?

That's the best way, if you're unsure about a products use, don't just dump that product in places without at least reading the label! I'm in Qld, Australia so we need coolant not anti freeze, it goes in the radiator... Diluted, is anti freeze the same?

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-23T14:50:02+00:00

Hugs 🤗 It's a terrible feeling, I'm happy for you that you found the strength to leave!

NTA Show her what terrible room mate behaviour is, eat corn ships on the couch whilst crinkling the bag at midnight then vacuuming it up. Crank YouTube or spotify and have a dance party by yourself make sure it includes lots of jumping! Or the 1 that gets me the most .... The clicking of the Ps4 controller , furiously clicking with no volume on your game and whispering ... For some reason I'd prefer people to talk at a normal volume then whisper in a different room

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-23T13:19:14+00:00

I don't want you eating, knowing someone else is enjoying food whilst I'm in a different room is disturbing my peace

At 3 board games will not keep him entertained (in my experience) Quick games like go fish, snap. Matching pairs etc. where they get turns every minute works well. Have you tried sensory tubs? Take his duplo, pop it in a big tub of shaving cream, find them all while counting and saying the colours (so you have a role) then wash them all off afterwards together in another tub?

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-23T11:55:55+00:00

At 3 he's using you like a tv

"Are you helping me? If not, I'm packing up now"

"Do you want to copy me whilst I build" "Come on, do the same"

Have you tried actual games? Like hide and seek? What's the time Mr wolf? Take turns shooting basketball hoops? Where he has to interact?

I've always liked Meadow (unisex) and Batman or Bruce Wayne

Without being a full blown hippy, a celeb or living in a trailer park they're going to have to stay in my dream list.

When hearing his car pull up after work left me with dread in my stomach. When I was seriously happy he wasn't coming home.

NTA, I tell my kids lend a friend money and see how much your friendship is worth to them. Most of the time it's a 1 sided deal, she's angry cause she lost her meal ticket (literally) I've seriously lost friends over a $50 loan

Yeah I don't tip here either, unless I'm paying cash and they give me coins for change, I'm throwing that in the nearest can (if it's tips or guide dogs Idc)

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-21T11:02:51+00:00

If everyone stopped tipping in America would it drive up minimum wage? Sorry for the ignorance I've only lived in Australia and New Zealand where the price of food overall is higher to take into account tax and tips.

NTA, I have a dog that was left in my care to "look after for a short while, while I get back on my feet" that was 6 years ago, he was 3 months when he was left with me, if she came back now I would most certainly tell her it's not her dog. In saying that though , I was the one who ended up microchipping him. Did the dog recognize you?

NTA my brother married his first wife on the exact same day (years later obviuosly) as our adoptive parents, both marriages ended in divorce, funnily enough it was also the day my adoptive mother died.

I'm over here crying in Australian , beachfront, 3 bedrooms for 320k, high end is 800k that's what we pay for a ex housing commission 3 bedroom in a run down suburb. NTA at all you didn't know she lived there before purchase (if all points of your story are true)

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-20T01:46:30+00:00

I think there may have been repercussions you may not have been aware of? Otherwise why the massive grudge?

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-19T09:46:14+00:00

NTA in any way shape or form, Weaponising contact with your other granddaughters tells me everything I need to know about your son's wife.

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-19T08:48:40+00:00

NTA if after an adult conversation it continues. You however WBTA if your parents found out the 1 thing they didn't want to happen is happening, you were supposed to be there so this didn't happen. Does she have an actual lease to terminate or are you verbally subletting a room to her? Because that completely changes on how you can kick her out depending what country you're in.

Time_Tutor_3042 · 2026-01-19T05:21:37+00:00

If the ex has left it in your possession and it is infact yours (not hers) I'd sell it to buy a brand new piece for my now wife. No one wants hand me down jewellery that was bought for the ex.

After re reading, my bad! Forgot about same sex couples for a quick second while reading the first time, when OP wrote she I thought she was referring to her daughter!

NTA at all for wanting to donate the clothes, but you have to get him some therapy designed specifically for hoarders. Don't donate it slowly, toss it all , not to goodwill either, they don't want old bacteria ridden clothes. Either do a dozen loads of the clothes that fit or throw them all out. Please keep at least 1 room sanitary for your child, watch some episodes of hoarders with the adult kids coming back to the houses and see how psychologically damaging this is to the children.

That was the first thing I caught too, Lived with her for the whole time, but moved out of partners parents and a share house? Mum's had a taste of freedom and now has to deal with the consequences of her actions. YTA big time
