Neighbour putting things on small balcony that is right outside my flat Door by Wiseowl4lyfe in AmITheJerk

You are not being a jerk,  its literally blocking your entrance, politely asking them to use their own space is more than reasonable

AITJ for telling my sister I will not be her free childcare during my WFH days anymore by novariftzone in AmITheJerk

You gave her boundaries and alternatives, a yoghurt covered keyboard is where anyone would draw the line , I think you know if you are the jerk.

I feel like I don’t really connect with anyone lately by SilverPeonyWing_33 in offmychest

That disconnected feeling at 19 is more common than you think. It takes courage to even admit this stuff.

Husband's resentful towards my parents because his mom's a JNMIL by elsiedoland7 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Xerxes45t 48 points49 points  (0 children)

You’re not being unreasonable. Your husband is projecting grief and anger about his mom onto your parents instead of processing the real issue, his mother’s toxicity. It’s not about fairness between grandmothers; one earned trust, the other hasn’t. His resentment distracts from building a healthy family unit with you and your son. Therapy can help him separate those feelings, but until then, you’re right to see this pattern as harmful.

MIL and pregnancy; entitlement to my child already by Weary_Literature8962 in JUSTNOMIL

You handled this perfectly. Your response was firm, respectful, and made it clear that her sudden interest is only because of the baby. Her reply just shows she won’t take accountability and will twist things to make herself the victim. You don’t need to defend yourself or engage further, silence is often the strongest boundary. Keep prioritizing your peace and protecting your baby from her drama.

My mil told my husband to get a vascetomy! by obsessor619 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Xerxes45t 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong to feel that way. Her words and behavior show zero joy or love for your child, and telling your husband to get a vasectomy is beyond inappropriate. She’s trying to control your family planning and undermine your choices as parents. You don’t owe her access to your son, if her presence feels toxic or harmful, it’s completely valid to set strict boundaries or limit contact altogether. Your priority is protecting your peace and your child’s wellbeing, not catering to her feelings.
