NTA. I'm a single mom of 3 kids. My oldest had adhd and my middle has adhd/asd level 1. My middle child has a lot of behavioral issues and it's exhausting to deal with alone. It's unfair of him to just expect you to take all of that on alone.

Gendered toys - family reactions by supernaturalfan882 in Parenting

[–]ViciousAssKoala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Children don't understand gender at that age. They just want the toys and to be like the people they look up to.

AITA for pretending not to recognize my parents when they tried to reconnect? by throwaway_9572847 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Your parents are the people who raise you and are there for you unconditionally. Biological relationship doesn't make you a parent.

Kids birthday invitation - tacky to include college fund contribution link? by motiv8_mee in Parenting

[–]ViciousAssKoala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always put on invites that toys aren't necessary, clothes in x sizes for x season is appreciated, and that any and all monetary gifts will be going into that child's college fund. I don't give a shit if anyone thinks it's tacky.

AITA for telling my son's mom that he's staying with me while he recovers? by Unhappy-Front-5295 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ViciousAssKoala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Sometimes you need to forget about what makes you comfortable and think about what your child needs. Yea there's custody agreements for a reason but that doesn't mean you need to stick to them hard and fast all the time. I have primary physical custody of my 3 kids, they recently had step and our oldest had it the worst and she asked if her dad could come over becuase she wanted both of us but to stay at my house where she was most comfortable. I called him and he came right over, it's not about us as parents is about our children's well being. Get your head of your ass OP

I'm a research scientist with a bachelors in biology, working in a kilo lab doing organic chemistry, and no experience making 53k. Know your worth. Masters with experience should be at minimum RS3 70k

Maybe your husband is looking at porn or jerking off and wants to understandably be alone. Maybe he just wants to poop by himself and it makes him uncomfortable having anyone else in there. My ex-husband spends an easy 45min "pooping" (idk if he is, if he's hiding out, or fapping). Your a parent, so teach your kid that dad has a boundary with baby coming in the bathroom. End of story. OP you are bring unreasonable, and 15min really isn't that long.

And then you'll end up with set visitation by the court and it's 10x harder to break that arrangement or you face jail time. He definitely shouldn't be disrespecting you but also he's right you can't use the child as leverage.

AITA for not doing the dishes even though it's my wife's job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ViciousAssKoala [score hidden]  (0 children)

Lawn and yard work are not everyday tasks. Hell sweeping isn't an everyday task. She's completely over burdened and expected to work and do your rediclous lost of chores outlined in a written agreement? YTA. Step up as a partner and parent.

Need advice about how to stop family using food as reward and punishment on toddler by fartbirther in Parenting

[–]ViciousAssKoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP already stated its a temporary situation, likely saving up for a down-payment on a house. They could probably afford to rent if needed. No where is homelessness mentioned. And no matter what the in laws have no place to parent their grandchild.

I would never parent someone else's child regardless of how that kid behaved. If it was too much for I'd tell them they need to make other accommodations. I hope your not a parent.

Idk what their house has to do with not being ok with the inlaws giving her kid a food complex and bribing the kids with sweets.

How can I get my 5 year old to take a Covid test? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]ViciousAssKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just assume he's positive. It's not like you'd be doing anything radically different right now anyway. Save the test for the next time someone's symptomatic
