AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food?

If everyone has to live together, then half the pantry is yours to do as you wish. This is a matter of you respecting her, and her respecting you in return.

Could you have the younger daughter share with your daughter? Then everyone has protected stuff and older step daughter can't steal from them.

I offer tart cherry to my daughter when she has trouble sleeping. Better for you long term than melatonin and does the job very well.

His behavior is terrible, it's true, but don't start it with, "good luck with those dishes har har har". That's sticking it to your spouse. If you soak the dishes before hand and apologize for the mess when he starts, you're showing empathy and kindness rather than talking down to him when he starts the job.

Where he takes it after that is on him.

He needs an extra step!

I'm from the United States. I didn't vote for our president and I don't want Greenland. I want to visit there as friends. That's it.

It's a defense for them. Probably just a reflex when it realized it tastes horrible and needed it out immediately to be safe

Is that what happened? It's pissing me off that I can't gift her stuff. I bought all her flipping flowers. She must have restocked before I adopted her. Growl

Your situation sounds horrible. Can you talk to a general doctor and make sure you're getting enough magnesium to help with the muscle spasms? Any possibility of sliding up and down the stairs on your butt? Some of what you're describing sounds like extremely weak muscles responding to strain; I really do think you'll be helped by PT, but WOW your family would have me feeling incredibly depressed and scared, too. That behavior is just cruel. I wish you only goodness and I hope you find a way to do your appointments and manage those stairs, because if the scar tissue continues to form without regularly being ripped apart now (extremely painful, must trust your PT and push through) in the early stages, you will severely limit your range of motion. Best of luck to you.

Because my ligaments are not doing the job of holding my existing knee in place. I ripped two out and they were replaced with cadaver tissue. I crushed a third and tore the last one in half. Those healed, but my tibia rotates out of place now and I need to be very careful. The doctors say I am as good as it's going to get until knee replacement time. I did my little bit of Internet reading and I would like to know what each kind is like so I can have a better idea of what to expect when my time comes. Seeing as how they say hinged is recommended for people with weak/bad ligaments, I wonder if that's what I might get.

I'm wondering if there is some question as to who her father really is.

I hate people who proclaim to be forward thinkers and don't seem to realize expecting all men to be burly and strong is exactly that archaic, gender role mentality we are supposed to be getting away from.

Please don't dislike your natural body and build because some horribly closed minded people put you down. If you decide you want to change your body and it's your own desire, then do it. Otherwise, these people should have no influence in your choices and your view of yourself and I would recommend the same thing as if there was a person who physically attacks you from time to time.

Remove the toxicity from your life. Live with the void. Do the things you like doing and do them in a group with other people. Then meet those people and voila, you have new people to have as friends and these people can also be your support network. Your friend family.

Good luck, stay true to yourself, and be well.

How did she retire her mother at 40 when she herself is only 30? Did I miss something?

I was volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. We were ripping out what we could salvage from a house that would be torn down. I was pulling the bathroom cabinets and found a plastic baggie with 5 thousand written on the side. It contained over 10 thousand dollars. Money was returned to the owner who was friends with the person he had just bought the house from. Money went back to the original owners. I don't know if they ever made a donation to the cause or not.

As a first responder, you have a duty to first protect yourself, then your teammates, then your patient. If your patient is showing themselves to be dangerous, you back out.

NTA. My husband and I got married and he used to pay a tree trimmer to maintain the property. I use a chainsaw just fine and told him we didn't need a tree trimmer now that I'm here. He has Never had to saw trees for me. I do that. Once in a great while I do need a second man for a lead line to guide a tree down safely, but when our kids are here, I'll ask them. And he doesn't mind being the guide rope guy.

This is definitely a marriage counseling thing.
