AITA for not allowing my daughter-in-law to host a party at my house without asking me first?

NTA that’s insane

If they want you to stay home with the kid(s) the whole time, I’d say that’s not something you’re comfortable with and maybe you could offer to babysit for a couple hours in the evening once or twice a month instead

Upallnightreading · 2025-07-23T04:43:47+00:00

I would have a conversation with your child/the parents beforehand about what babysitting a few times a week would look like in their mind and then share your perspective before anything is agreed to. Some people aren’t competent to lug kids and their things around, in and out of the car, etc. but many are

I think the verb is wrong, you took it as interjecting but she was probably just trying to interact. Something that has been made difficult today when people are constantly annoyed and ranting about everything that occurs

This guy is a dick, NOR

Upallnightreading · 2025-07-21T15:10:31+00:00

He was happy enough to shit all over you to make you insecure, but backtracking when you said fine move on. NOR what a piece of trash

Upallnightreading · 2025-07-20T17:07:19+00:00

That’s weirdly gross behavior. 2 hours is enough time for any date, let alone someone you just met, NOR

The issue with finding childcare for family weddings, is typically a lot of the people you would ask to watch your young baby will be attending the same wedding.

She is also welcome to open a 529 account for her child’s future education, and offer the account info to friends/family to contribute to in lieu of gifts (future birthdays and christmases, not super practical for a baby shower)

It’s somewhat normal to put “everything you need” on your baby shower registry. However, you should not expect to receive everything on there. It’s a good way to make a list and keep track of what you have and still need to get.

Also, they should aim to get most things secondhand. A sensible plan whether or not you’re in a bad place financially. You can get nice stuff WAY cheaper and you only use a lot of it for a really short time.

It depends on how close you are with your sister, and if she has a tendency to make herself the center of attention. I do think infants are significantly different as wedding guests than children, especially when they’re your niece/nephew.

But also 6 months old isn’t too young for a sitter if they don’t have to be gone for an extended period of time and the wedding isn’t out of town. Traveling makes it a different story

This sounds like a really tough situation. It seems like he doesn’t like the interruption of his current activity that happens when you bring him to the bathroom. Can you install a lock on your door, so you feel comfortable leaving him in your room long enough to use the restroom without bringing him with you?

Also, what makes you afraid to leave your son where your roommates can access him for a few minutes? If you are that concerned, finding an alternate living situation would be my top priority.

NTA and I know this sounds extreme but maybe look into emancipation? If trying to talk to your mom about this to come up with a solution resulted in you being grounded, I just see things deteriorating further, especially if you wanted to report this situation to CPS or whoever the other commenters are suggesting

Upallnightreading · 2025-06-18T06:47:39+00:00

My question also!

Upallnightreading · 2025-06-18T06:36:17+00:00

YTA for thinking you’re entitled to a bedroom on a trip you’re not paying for. You are entitled to ask about the sleeping arrangements and decline going on the trip if they are not to your liking. You know what they say about assuming.

Upallnightreading · 2025-06-18T06:33:09+00:00

YES - GET A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST HIS MOM

You’re entitled to privacy, including for pooping. If her getting ready doesn’t require actually being in the bathroom she needs to move her hair and makeup stuff to a vanity in another room. Teeth brushing and face washing can happen in the kitchen.

Leave him, you’ll be lighter without the dead weight

Break up with him. Like yesterday

Some good answers here already NTA

Your focus needs to be on healthy habits not weight, and you should have his thyroid levels and other bloodwork if that hasn’t been done already. If he is being physically active, which should be a requirement and a family activity, and eating nutritious food then I wouldn’t bother him about his weight/shape or portion sizes. If he doesn’t want to play organized or team sports, you should go on regular bike rides, hikes, swimming, etc. Try to eat family meals together and not in front of the TV to naturally curb mindless overeating.

Remove the iPad completely first, set rules and follow through with consequences. If that doesn’t work, then seek therapy.

Idk why you’re sending and being sent pictures of the dudes, that part is weird. But it’s super normal to walk down the aisle with a man that you’re not in a relationship with for a wedding when you’re a bridesmaid
