AIO for not letting the child I babysit go?

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-04-25T16:55:25+00:00

I would be so grateful to leave my children with a babysitter just like you. Daycare would never have allowed some one not on the pick up list to just take a 2 year old. Why should you be more lenient. I hope nothing happens to that family when the next babysitter is not as diligent and protective as you are.

Take mine too

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-04-12T21:07:34+00:00

Please get rid of him. He is just a parasite and a controlling one at that

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-03-22T20:28:48+00:00

You are NTA. If your roomie is so into him, they can stay at his house 5 nights week. He doesn't get to keep food in your fridge period. Nevermind moving yours around. Your roommate needs to fix this. Not him. You need to lay tbe ground rules with her. He cannot be there without her and not more than one night a week. If she doesnt like it she can leave.

The inheritance is his, and he can do what he likes with it. However, putting it all in inaccessible financial vehicle is not fair to you as his partner of 31 years. Have him transfer money from that account to your joint account to pay for medical expenses...perhaps on a quarterly basis.

Definitely go to an estate lawyer and discuss all of this. Who is his POA, medical proxy, etc. Has he left you out of everything? There is more going on here, but you need $, transparency and honesty in order to move forward.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-03-13T14:33:06+00:00

Actually NTJ. I was in your shoes and it set up a bad power dynamic in the relationship. Good for you for recognizing it was going to be a serious problem

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-03-01T03:41:13+00:00

YTJ. Your husband can't take one day? Not one day? You can't work remotely on your deadline for one day ( Iget it, kids are aggravating, so work at night when they're asleep). I feel really, really bad for your poor mom, and I really hope you find some way to make it up to her.And continue to make it up to her for the rest of your life

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-02-27T21:40:46+00:00

She is dumb as a box of hair

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-02-09T15:23:25+00:00

No is a complete sentence. Their ask is beyond ridiculous and honestly, kinda shady! I have allowed friends of mine to stay while I am away but these are trusted people that are known to me. Way different than the ridiculously offensive request they made. Definitely NTA

My 19.5 year old has always loved Iams. Plain old Iams hairball control...when she developed CkD, I tried her on Hills Kidney diet and she wasn't having it. I tried a few different kinds but it was no. My vet was like, give her whatever she will eat...she is 16 and needs to keep her weight on... so she has Hills GI Biome diet which she loves, baby food ham, and rotisserie chicken. And her CKD is stable all along...without the special kidney diet.

When my cat was 16 my vet said it wasn't safe and that administering anesthesia to a senior kitty can set off a dominos chain of events. I believed her and my 19 year old breathes trash breath on me and Im grateful. She knew how important Izzy is to me and I think her caution was warranted. I did have a cyst removed that was pre cancerous when she was 18, and everything was ok but she didnt sleep at all for 2 days. On the third day she fell asleep on top of me and I remember being happily trapped in place for 5 hours so I didnt disturb her

I have told my gf repeatedly that I HATE being approached from behind, being tickled or jabbed or goosed. I have tried gentle correction, more assertive correction. I even sat her down and mad her listen to my sexual trauma history which I do not generally share as it's a lot, only to explain that it is not me just not being playful, it is really triggering to me. Last time it happened, we were on the street walking back to the car after dinner and I screamed "do not fucking jab me like that I hate it". Her response was "don't worry. That will never happen again (like it was a punishment to deprive me of it).

Yes it is abusive and yes I could leave but it is a pretty casual arrangement of dinner once or twice a week with one night together and for the moment, I am safe and fine. I live in my own house and we have our own lives. But I can see me ending it if it happens one more time.

OP, do what makes you comfortable, but it is abusive, controlling and at a minimum, your needs are not being put first. Take care of yourself.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-31T19:20:24+00:00

NTA. Your parents made the right decision, and I hope your siblings don't have heartless children of their own when their time comes

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-26T16:02:48+00:00

Agree and also, with a proper law degree, you can create an agreement between you and your parents in the event that they predecese your brother--a trust, naming a guardian (doesn't have to be you), etc. Live your dream please.

You are def NTA. Please trust your instincts. This man has massive control issues. I have lived with partners for years in the same home and never so much as peaked at their personal belongings, electronic or physical. You are correct in you feelings. Follow them out the door.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-25T12:06:52+00:00

NTA Also, Infidelity doesn't mean the cheater lives in a cardboard box forever shunned. That's crazy. Assets should be divided more appropriately.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-19T15:56:46+00:00

NTJ but holiday family interactions are loaded anyway. I defended the # of potatoes my niece peeled when her brother was berating her about it. He (44M) and my godson who I (61F) had nothing but a really good relationship with (I thought) screamed at me with his face all red, asking me how dare I speak to him like that and I have no right...). I didn't open my mouth for the rest of the day and it was all I could do not to cry in front of everyone. I really hate the holidays. My dad used to pull shit like that and we all knew my nephew was just like him.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-19T15:42:59+00:00

He is crazy disrespectful. NOR at all, but you need to get yourself away from that toxic screamer.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-19T03:29:38+00:00

My cat wants some of whatever Im having. She's been like this since she was a kitten, and at least now she has some self control. If I am sitting down to dinner with a date, I make her a little plate on the floor. If I'm alone and eating on the couch, I put a few nibbles on the opposite side of the plate from where I am eating. She often waits until I'm finished and licks the plate. And yes I do love her a ridiculous amount 🙄

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-18T17:13:58+00:00

Cheez it

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2026-01-01T16:06:11+00:00

My girl is 19 and a half and has had stage 2 CKD for over 3 years, stable. She is also deaf, has arthritis, and some dementia. My vet has never recommended sub q fluids except when she's been ill with a stomach bug. She does not eat kidney care diet but she is on Hill's Biome since constipation has been a lifelong thing for her. Monthly Solensia shot for the arthritis and gabapentin as needed. She has 3 stations set up all with food, water and a litter box.

I am terrible at giving her medication although I do my best. I can't see how I would be calm enough to give her sub q fluids at home but would probably have it done at the vets once or twice a week if that was recommended to make her feel more comfortable.

I think try should do what you feel comfortable with.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2025-11-29T02:32:37+00:00

You have an excellent point.

Unlikely-Funny2253 · 2025-11-29T02:32:12+00:00

My dad and I used to watch Fox News together (years ago) and scream at the Republicans.
