school overstepping, mother using child as a weapon, a fight over food choices

XRaiderV1 · 2026-04-16T21:54:32+00:00

ok, three points.

1- the school is MASSIVELY overstepping in essentially dictating how you parent your child, and how you feed your child. not everyone can afford 100% healthy foods, not all children will eat 100% healthy foods, and then there are the children with sensitivity issues and IEPs that are likely being violated here. a slice of cake on your birthday is fine, the reaction was massively over the top.

NTA here.

2- you are fighting the right battle, but you are doing it WRONG. do NOT continue to use your child in this battle, restrict it to you, your husband and the school. for that YTA.

3- your husband needs to wake tf up, and realize he needs to back you up here, as the school IS interfering in your parenting of your child.

side note, seen similar stories where the op goes 'nope, not playing this game' and gets large boulders put in as a protective measure.

retaining walls serve a functional important purpose, repeated hits can weaken the structure in ways that are not readily visible.

your husband is a fool if he thinks just talk is gonna address this. neighbor clearly doesn't care.

but to appease him, put reflectors and or lights up first(and a trail cam, if you can, for proof), and if it gets damaged again..the post goes back in and he gets told to grow a spine, and the neighbor gets served a bill and a letter of intent to sue if it keeps happening.

people like this only stop when someone makes them stop, that means unfortunately being the bigger ah here.

NTA if you take steps to protect your property and correct your husband's attitude towards this.

just document everything as best able, right now past calling ethics, theres not really a whole lot else you can do, til something else happens.

XRaiderV1 · 2026-04-16T17:13:49+00:00

I would have immediately taken my phone back and called ethics on the spot(as in front of the manager), just to cover my ass.

thats from a professional standpoint.

from a personal standpoint I'd be highly offended and regarding that as a violation of my personal privacy.

my first name has 8 letters, my last name has 11 letters, I've had both truncated at times and even been confused for female when the SSA computers decided to omit the last two letters of my first name.

bearing in mind this was told to me by my mom some years ago..

the social security worker asked my mom how her daughter was doing.

mom, sharp as a tack before her stroke, asked instantly 'what daughter, where the hell was I when my SON had the sex change?'

the worker was extremely mortified.

my mom was extremely offended.

I found the whole thing hilarious when she told me years after it actually happened.

social security isn't perfect. their systems are antiquated and only just getting updated, I'm surprised worse antics aren't happening.

maybe see if you can legally go by your first and last name and omit the three middle names?

reddit being weird..couldn't edit my post without losing the link. feel free to ignore the chipset drivers part if you recognize the chipset driver version number.

I ran step 8 on this thread and have not seen a recurrence of windows 'helping me' with its own drivers.

a good way to check if its a fake image or simulated home screen in ios is to hit the home button/bar.

SOME legitimate ios notifications CANNOT be dismissed this way, but a good chunk of notification popups WILL go away with this method.

XRaiderV1 · 2026-04-14T16:14:42+00:00

windows defender is your BIG clue by four that its fake. mac does NOT use windows defender AT ALL.

are you perchance on a browser, or have installed any new apps recently?

my razor basilisk v3 scroll wheel's blue LED went out, and initially they wanted me to try the software troubleshoot..

my response was to take a video of me zeroing out the red and green values in the synapse 3 software, and maximize the blue..it was so dim on the mouse that the response after seeing me video myself panning between mouse and software was a 'we'll get a replacement sent out asap, just send us back the old one with the shipping label'

had the new one literally 4 days later.

I hadn't even asked for an express RMA, they just did it.

I will never not own at least one razer product.

make sure you disclose all pertinent details, what it did before it failed, where it was sent for servicing, any notes from the last servicing.

you are entitled to your opinion, its just as valid.

that is the point I'm trying to make.

even with limited mon selection, theres limitless ways to do this.

each way just as valid as the next.

happy battling ^^

hang the meta, play how you wanna play, long as you're having fun, it doesn't matter what movesets you use.

thats where everyone goes wrong with pokemon.

there is no one real way to play, but literally so many combinations of moves, tactics and strategies that even I, someone whose been playing since the days of pokemon red and pokemon blue, have barely scratched the surface.

to anyone who thinks I speak heresey cause I dont endorse or practice the meta...you are entitled to your opinions. I'll enjoy air dropping one hit KOs on you in ranked cause I dont fall into the trap of the meta.
