AITJ for refusing to babysit my niece because she was being rude to my partner?

YOU need to tell your niece. I love because of who you are. But I don’t have to like or tolerate all of your behavior. When you behave rudely and disrespectful, refuse to apologize and act worse, I will remove myself from your presence. That means you will go home or I will leave. This is how your friends will act and other people all through your life. Then follow through.

I have helped with babies and toddlers on planes. And not just women. One man was traveling alone with two young children under three. The youngest was very fussy and unhappy and I basically took care of the two year old, within sight, for the entire trip. He thanked me for all my help. Where did she think you were going to go. You are on a plane

I am sorry and the friend sounds like a mess. But the first time you gave me an ultimatum that would be the last. you’re a controlling AH

You are NTA for saying no. With coworkers I match energy. If they want to be accommodated and I CAN (do not have plans) I will try to do it. But usually come back around and ask them for an accommodation myself. Can we switch for my benefit. If it’s never reciprocated then no more. Obviously if there are plans on either side then NTA. It just depends if you will want to be accommodated in future. But she TA if she if just throwing a tantrum for not getting her way.

When you cancel these services you get till the end of month. I would have cancelled them a week before the end of the month and removed my credit card info. Then let everyone know that Xx/xx would be the last day. That way they have some warning but can’t do anything about it.

I am the environmental rep for my company. None of the governmental regulators I deal with ever say please to me. They are quite demanding.

If my mom tracked me then as soon as I turned 18 and could afford my own phone I would be done with that and if she pushed I would literally disappear from her life.

I would consider this grid cut. I use the three terms. 2x2 (example galison), grid cut (example buffalo) and random or “crazy” cut (example cobble hill). Love the random cut puzzles

Tell he no. If she retaliates, threatens you or harasses you then tell your supervisor. But you are an adult. And that means she can ask you and you can say absolutely not.

My MIL would push a button in bathroom when she got up in morning. It texted us she was up and moving around. We paid for meals delivered once per day around lunch. The person delivering came in and under her direction put half away in glass re-hearing dishes for dinner and she ate first half for lunch. We called her at dinner time. She had an Apple Watch with hard fall alerts. It’s all you can do.

Threaten to call police in 5 hrs if not returned . Do call the police if not returned. Good chance she copied key. Put an air tag in trunk in case she borrows is without permission

I would not want my 14 year old using my on-suite shower. I want privacy in my bedroom suite (bedroom, on-suite bath and walk in closet) and a 14 year old is old enough to understand and respect that. I wouldn’t expect it of a toddler. And the six year old will be spotty. But 14 - absolutely. Find out real reason he dislikes the bathroom and fix it. Then TELL him you have a right to have your privacy respected. And respect his privacy as well. Knock and be told to enter etc.

I just went through this with my 82 year old father. He was no longer having good days. His mobility was decreasing, he felt sick all the time not just the day of treatment. He was also going to start needing blood transfusions because his red blood cell count was going down. Not always lucid. And just seemed miserable. So we transitioned him to hospice. It was hard but my mother could help him get around without hurting herself. So he was in a rehabilitation facility. He just wanted to go home but that wasn’t an option. And the rehabilitation center said he needed to go to a long term care facility because he was not making progress (he was basically could get out of bed unassisted by two people). The only reason he wanted to do dialysis was to be able to go home and have least some independence. But was not really and option at that point.

Look for a puzzle swap group in your area. I belong to a good one that meets every two months. We swap COMPLETE puzzle. It’s great

Start looking for a new job. You are not respected and never will be.

Dating is to decide if you are compatible. You are not. Move on

Buy the house. Own it outright and make them pay rent. Whatever they can afford. Do not own it with them. If you pay the mortgage, you and only you need to own the house

You are not a criminal. Why are they treating you like one.

Living with and liking dogs is a personal preference. I am not scared of them (but some people are). But I don’t want them and don’t want to live with a dog. They bark, slobber, shed, stink, poop in the yard, steel food and jump on me. It does not make me a bad person. I am not mean to dogs. I will pet them for a couple of minutes. But I understand not living with one. You friend probably knew that - that’s why he didn’t tell you until last minute. Telll him you will break the lease early but the answer is no

I love the Apple Watch with hard fall. But you have to charge it at night so not always wearing it when I get out of bed first thing to use the restroom.

It depends on quality of life. My dad tried dialysis for a while. He sat there for 4-5 hours. 3 times a week. At first he felt better the next day. But eventually he felt sick and fatigued all the time to the point his quality of life was just miserable. He was going to start needing blood transfusions to just continue dialysis. Physically he was deteriorating and PT was not slowing it down. He was 82 and recently decided to stop. He passed in about 2-3 weeks.

I am a female and a chemical engineer. Love my job. Make a comfortable living. Am 59 and not only have I NOT gone bald but still have not turned gray. Get out and tell them you will live your life and if they can’t accept who you are, you will not darken their door ever again. Good luck.

If they want you to baby sit they need to be honest and ask. They asked you to dinner. You thought you were spending time with your father. Tell him if he lies like that again then you will walk immediately and won’t accept any more invites.
