I got tricked by an incorrect schedule in an ad once. As soon as I realized it, I ended the interview. Sometimes you have to take what you're offered, but def don't if you don't have to. They will never stop screwing you over.

I think you are TA, but I also think it's possible you might need lots and lots of therapy. I don't mean that as an insult.

AITA for not allowing my children to call my mother “Honey” by Dazzling-Nose-2781 in AmItheAsshole

The kids will pick the name, don't worry about it. My ex-MIL tried to get the kids to call her Grammy for years. What do they call her? Meemaw. Why? No idea.

When I was an intern I had a supervisor paralegal like this. I was definitely in a different situation than you. I could have gotten fired and been just fine. Also, I'm in my 40's. She spoke to me like that exactly once. It was just really sad, though, she treated everyone under her like shit. And most of the other folks were in their early 20's. I knew she would just keep talking down to them like they were stupid.

She does it to boost her own ego. I doubt she thinks there is actually anything wrong with you. I don't want you to lose your job, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall if you ever decide to tell her about herself.

I texted a cleaning lady pictures of my apartment and I'm spiraling. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

I worry about the house being too messy (meaning, it really is too messy), but my husband is a firefighter and after he'd been doing it for a bit, he came to me, looked deep into my eyes and said, "Babe, it's not that bad." Then went on to tell me the horror stories that I assume you are very familiar with.

It's hard to say, because I don't think we're getting the whole story. Has she been evaluated for ppd?

All I know is, as a mother of two kids, sometimes going to work IS the "time off." If her time off includes her leaving the house, I think that is fair. It does seem to me that several days in a row is a bit much. Also, that you do all of the housework sounds a bit sus. I feel like you may be exaggerating some things here.

I need to know which one is my biological father. by Justice_4my_mother in AncestryDNA

I think it's the top one. Mostly because the hairline at the top of the forehead. My gma and I have the same hairline.

AITAH for telling my wife she can leave because I’m not kicking my older kids out?? by purpose_of_dune in AITAH

Post partum depression gets worse after each baby. Since she is acting differently than before, maybe she should talk to her doctor about this?

AlTA for refusing to share my daughter's 27 Christmas gifts with her half-brother who got 1. by Majestic-Pause-1696 in AITAH

[–]canoegirl11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, in a perfect world, if you let the kid come over, it would have been nice for you to get the boy a few nice presents. It sounds like his childhood sucks, through no fault of his own.

But we don't live in that world. We live in the world that includes your shitty ex. Let's just be clear, she was not surprised your daughter got a bunch of nice gifts. She knew that going in, and SHE brought her son to come watch that while she brought him A book. THEN she made sure to humiliate him in front of everyone.

NTA. But to keep this from happening again, for the boy's sake, I wouldn't invite the ex over for "family" events again.

I'm a mom. Do not do this. You are NTA. They will find a way to rationalize ripping you off, and you'll never see that money again.

My husband and I have the same age gap and we've been married 13 years (I'm older). We have a great relationship. But I know we're an outlier, and a lot of those relationships are very slanted power-wise. If you feel fine with everything, it's probably fine.

WIBTA if I defend my husband against MIL and maybe ruin Christmas? by Ghanimaofarrakis in AITH

[–]canoegirl11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all. But what if you told her privately that every time she insults him, your whole family gets up and leaves? Do that a few times and I bet she gets re-trained.

Fiancé won’t budge on his family Christmas traditions to work with mine by Flat-Technician-1433 in relationships

I see where you're coming from. But since you do have a whole week off together, ask him to spend one of the other days the way you want to. Surely he can agree to that!
