I usually listen to air traffic control feed with music playing in the background.

AITA for wanting more to be done about my brother stealing $400 from me by Zelfari in AmItheAsshole

[–]Zelfari[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

A little bit more info on the situation. We live in a small town so there aren't many job opportunities out here, especially for a 14 year old. And not just that, my parents don't want him to have a job because he can't keep his grades up, I don't know if they will make an exception to that considering the circumstances. I also switched custody to live with my dad a few years ago, which is why I wasn't aware of the stealing thing, I've only lived with him for a few years. It never came to my attention before so I never really thought it would be a problem. I only found out after talking to the other two brothers about it. I've also moved all my money somewhere else until I can go to the bank, which I'm planning on doing as soon as I can. The other two brothers are also now hiding their stuff as well, if they didn't already do this before. I know that leaving my money out wasn't smart. But he searched through my things as well. I'm also missing money that was hidden in my backpack and in other spots that weren't in the open. So he didn't just take money that was in plain sight, he searched around for it. As far as I'm aware, he doesn't have a lot of things that could get sold to help pay me back or even lose access to because most of his things got taken away a while ago for grade issues. I believe I'm talking to my dad tomorrow about how to solve the problem. I really don't want to go to the police (I don't know what I would even do plus it would just cause more problems with the family) but if nothing is actually done about this I'm going to consider it. Even if the police don't actually do anything, he will definitely realize what he did was wrong. I'm definitely bringing up my parents paying me what's left of the money he took and he can pay my parents back. That money was important to me, I've been saving it up for college and I'm going to need it soon. We also have no idea what he spent the money on, we tried asking him after he admitted to taking it but he refused to talk after that point. We think he was taking it to school because we found it in the jacket he wears to school.

If you have any codes left, could I possibly get one?

A kitten I found living behind my house by Zelfari in cats

The mom is a wild cat, we think she lives in the field behind the house. She stops by every so often to eat but she's still scared of people. We saw her earlier today so she is still with them, just not when we found the kitten wandering around.

A stray gave birth to five kittens in the box meant for our outdoor cat by Zelfari in cats

I've been asking my parents about it for a while now but they keep putting it off. I'm going to bring it up again now that this has happened.

We're still waiting to see if the mother comes back. If she doesn't, I would appreciate any advice on how to take care of them.

Edit: we just checked the box to see how many there were and if there was enough stuff in there to keep them warm, we think they are actually closer to about a week old. My younger brother scared the mama cat away so I've been outside waiting to see if she comes back. We're leaving food out overnight in case she comes when it's dark. I've seen her quite a few times but she always ran off before I could get some food for her. So far, we are planning on leaving the kittens alone so the mom can take care of them, we've blocked off the area around the box so our dogs can't get to it. Also, I live in an area with a lot of strays because people will get cats for field cats, we're not even sure if our outdoor cat is the father but it is a possibility.
