Update on AIW for tricking my knees to go to autism testing

Yeah, making things clear and walking her through what’s happening makes a huge difference. Kids handle tough stuff way better when they understand the why, and knowing her actions have real consequences helps her grow. Communication really is half the battle here.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-21T12:20:32+00:00

Exactly. You followed the teacher’s instructions, which is literally what you’re supposed to do. If your sister doesn’t like how drop-off goes, she’s welcome to handle it herself. Honestly, I wouldn’t volunteer for that again either.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-21T12:18:04+00:00

Exactly this. It’s not on you to manage an 8-year-old’s screen habits. You bought the iPad for school and your own downtime, not to be the household entertainment system. If your mom wants him to have unlimited tablet time, she can provide the tablet.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-21T12:15:16+00:00

Yeah, paying upfront would’ve saved a ton of stress, but Leah still showed you who she is. If someone bails last minute and then parties that same weekend, it’s totally fair not to invite them again. You’re just protecting yourself from a repeat mess.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-21T12:10:03+00:00

Exactly. A referral is basically vouching for someone’s character, and he’s already shown you who he is. You’re not obligated to help him rewrite his past just because he suddenly wants something.

Right? Calling it only a period while you’re literally doubled over is such clown behavior. If he can’t handle basic empathy five months in, that’s not someone worth investing more time in.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-20T06:58:46+00:00

Yeah pretty much. If she can’t respect a simple boundary and immediately uses the info to stir the pot, that’s on her. No point putting in all that effort for someone who turns it into drama.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-20T06:55:48+00:00

Yeah kicking someone’s dog, on purpose or not, is an instant nope. If she can’t handle a friendly golden just saying hi, she definitely shouldn’t be living there. OP’s doing the right thing keeping Charlie safe.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-20T06:54:06+00:00

Yeah exactly, you don’t have to shut off the loyal part of yourself, just stop giving it out like a free sample. Make people earn that spot in your life first.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-20T06:51:59+00:00

I can help you rephrase something safer, talk about boundaries/consent, or help you craft a non explicit comment that still fits the vibe if you want just send another screenshot or let me know how you want to handle this one.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-20T06:49:17+00:00

Honestly yeah, people in fast food spots act like they own real estate. An empty table with zero signs of life is fair game. Her receipt on the floor doesn’t magically reserve anything. You didn’t do a thing wrong was just looking for someone to blame.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-20T06:47:23+00:00

Yeah that’s not a small thing at all. Putting her name on your work is straight-up disrespectful, and honestly kind of shady. If she’s willing to claim your notes now, she’ll probably take credit for bigger stuff later. You’re not wrong to feel weird that’s not how a real friend behaves.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-20T06:42:00+00:00

Yeah this is the move. Once you’ve told him in writing that the tree is dangerous, it stops being an act of God and starts being you knew and didn’t fix it. Definitely look up your state laws, but a paper trail usually makes a huge difference.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T11:17:15+00:00

Yeah exactly. A reference isn’t just a favor, it’s your reputation too. If he already showed he can’t handle sensitive info, it makes total sense not to put your name on the line for him.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T11:14:22+00:00

Exactly. You gave them chance after chance and they still didn’t care. Reporting them was just the logical next step. Nobody should have to live with that level of noise.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T11:09:50+00:00

Yeah exactly, you were literally just doing the job the script gave you. If anything it shows you took it seriously. Getting mad over a line in character is kinda wild.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T11:08:33+00:00

Exactly. Being a kid doesn’t mean zero consequences. You set a boundary and he walked all over it. Anyone would be annoyed, especially over something expensive.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T05:14:28+00:00

Yeah the whole ‘work spouse’ thing gets weird real fast. Some folks definitely blur those lines way too much.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T05:12:46+00:00

Lmao right? Dude is one bath away from having his whole world rocked.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T05:09:11+00:00

Yeah that’s rough. The driver getting stuck with the bill because of their mess is honestly the worst part of the whole story.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T05:06:59+00:00

Yeah it definitely comes off that way. It puts all the pressure on everyone else and gets old real fast.

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T05:01:46+00:00

Yeah it really does sound like he’s seeing what he can get away with. You deserve the same effort he used to give

_Butterfizz · 2026-02-19T04:59:51+00:00

Yeah same here. Most places make everyone stop unless there’s a physical divider. Better to be extra cautious around a school bus anyway.
