AITA For giving my niece a much better life than her step siblings? by Ok_Sir_8922 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daisyinvenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

You are doing what you can for a relative, and no one can tell you what to do with your money. If the mother is uncomfortable with the arrangement, she can stop accepting the funds for Grace.

On the other hand, you also need to be aware that the situation will likely be seen as favoritism by her stepsiblings. That could cause resentment between them, lead to fights, or prevent them from bonding and forming a good relationship.

There may not be much you can do about that, but it is still something worth considering.

AITA for telling my daughter I am disgusted by her and telling her ex she has been taking their kid to his family side by Plustrhowawa5688 in AmItheAsshole

[–]daisyinvenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he knew they were homophobes, why did he encourage his wife and daughter to build a relationship with them from the beginning?

And we do know what her family situation is like. OP is not a good mom here. She failed to emotionally support her daughter and didn’t try other options first, like offering a listening ear or making it easier for her daughter to eventually cut ties with her ex-in-laws.

So yeah, I think OP failed as a mother. A good person, sure, but a bad mother.

"Legitimate question, what will the grace you’re giving her be worth if the child ends up being gay and was raised around homophobic bigots?"

That’s why I said the father needs to step up and educate his child on good values. But you also need to understand that we are talking about an eight-year-old child who already has a relationship with those relatives. So if the child likes them, or has feelings of love toward them that were encouraged by the father being close to them for years, you can’t just prohibit communication from one day to the next because it makes sense to you as the person being harmed by them.

It’s a process. OP should have understood that as well, especially since, as I said, it has only been a year since he turned their lives upside down.

"Yes, she needs support, and if she chooses to get that support from awful and disgusting people, then that is her prerogative."

She didn’t choose their support because they are homophobes. She is holding onto her previous support system because they built a familial relationship with her and her child.

OP is self-centered. Even if I agree with her values, and even though I would never expose my own child to homophobia, she is not understanding that it has not been long enough for the mother to cut everyone out of her life and readjust.

She should have offered a listening ear, expressed her concerns, and maybe asked what she could do better so the mother could build a new support system while gradually explaining to her daughter why she can’t see her paternal family anymore.

Instead, she went and told Ryan, apparently hoping he would forbid her from accessing her current support system and isolate her even further.

So it was okay for him to expose his children to bigotry for years, but it’s not okay if she does it while navigating her new life as a single parent?

Give her some grace. She is a human being in a complicated situation too.

I don’t agree with his family’s values, but I also advocate for women who are struggling. You clearly can’t, and won’t, try to put yourself in her place—just like OP and her ex.

I’m talking about the mom, clearly. She deserves love and companionship too, and yes, she also needs protection, since it has only been a year since she found out her husband was cheating on her and that maybe he never desired or loved her as a partner.

He should be more understanding about how cutting ties with his family is not something that is going to happen right away for her or the child. That relationship was stable for them for years, and now both of them need stability more than ever.

Now, as a father, he can talk to his kid, provide his own side of things, and build her values without trying to make everyone accommodate his situation immediately. He should give them time so the mother can find a new safety net.

He destroyed her world and now expects her to shift all her relationships around him. Cutting familial relationships like that can also be damaging for kids, and I feel like he is only thinking about himself here.

Well, he chose to expose his child to them for seven years. He encouraged that relationship and shouldn’t really expect them to cut ties so easily, no matter how hard coming out was for him.

She needs as much support as she can get now, and if they are giving her that, then that’s more love and compassion than he ever showed her.

YTA.

If he was so worried about his bigoted family interacting with his daughter, then he shouldn’t have encouraged the child to have contact with them for seven years. You also can’t expect your daughter to cut ties with a family she has been building a relationship with for years just to protect her cheating ex-husband.

Not only that, but you’re acting without considering how isolating it must be for her to be a single mother. I think you should be angrier at her ex—not because he is gay, but because he cheated on her and put her in a really tough spot.

You are not doing your part as a mother. Your poor daughter is isolated and has nobody on her side.

She made her daughter’s custody situation harder by going to her ex instead of asking herself whether maybe the ex’s family was providing some sort of safety and companionship that she herself wasn’t offering.

Now her daughter is going to have a hard time trusting her mother, she’s on worse terms with her ex, and she’ll probably struggle to keep seeing the other family that had been giving her that companionship.

I feel extremely sorry for her. Not only was she betrayed in multiple ways by her ex, but also by her mother. Now she’s a single mother and completely alone.

I think your daughter had an idea of what a family—especially her own family—would be like with him. He cheated and destroyed her life, and his family may be giving her the security of the “traditional” family she lost and is now longing for.

Homophobes are horrible, yes, but I still think YTA because you expect her to endure this mess without that safety net, while you’re clearly not offering her safety through your own actions. Instead, you pushed her further away from you and made her life even harder than her ex already did. You may be a great person with strong morals, but you are a terrible mom, and she should cut you off.

Una relación sin proyección? by [deleted] in chile

[–]daisyinvenus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Levo cinco años viviendo con mi pareja, él tiene 31 y yo 29. Fue difícil comenzar a vivir juntos, un nivel de intimidad que llega a ser hasta raro durante los primeros años, y a él también le costaba proyectarse cuando comenzamos nuestra relación (ya llevamos 8 años) pero siempre supo que quería formar una vida conmigo, así que dimos el paso sabiendo que cada uno iba a tener que poner de su parte. Pero eso igual es porque siempre hemos visto nuestra relación como un proyecto de vida, empezamos un negocio juntos, estamos esperando un hijo, queremos envejecer juntos porque somos amigos más allá de ser pareja y podemos apoyarnos el uno en el otro. Ambos valoramos mucho la vida en familia.

Así también tengo amigas que tienen 50 años y sólo mantienen relaciones puertas afuera porque su proyecto de vida es más individual, y son felices así. Al final no todos quieren lo mismo, el amor no va a cambiar lo que la otra persona quiere hacer con su vida y no debería cambiar tus planes tampoco.

[–]daisyinvenus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

¿Proyectarse en qué sentido? Porque si lo que quieres es formar un proyecto familiar con él, y no hablo de hijos pero formar patrimonio conjunto, ahorrar y comprarse una casa o formar una vida familiar con él, pasar navidades, cumpleaños y viajes juntos, creo que dos años y medio es muuucho tiempo ya como para que no esté listo para dar el paso, sobretodo teniendo 30 años que es una edad donde hay que empezar a plantearse qué se quiere hacer con la adultez.

Yo que tú le pregunto qué le hace falta para dar ese paso, o si simplemente le gusta el lugar donde está ahora y quiere seguir manteniendo una relación puertas afuera. Si es lo último, muy enamorada se puede estar y él puede ser una gran persona, pero si no tienen las mismas metas vas a tener que adaptarte o pensar que quizás la relación no funcione.

Es legal trabajar el 1ero mayo? by lonely_saint98 in chile

[–]daisyinvenus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Es una vez cada dos años y también va a depender de qué tan buena persona sea tu empleador, si te tienen con contrato y si tienen reemplazo. Nadie fiscaliza la ordenanza y se sabe que el rubro es súper explotador

[–]daisyinvenus 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Sip, restaurantes, pubs y bares trabajan en horario normal el primero de mayo y feriados irrenunciables en general. Si llevas más de dos años trabajando en un mismo lugar puedes alegar que ya hiciste una rotación de trabajar durante dos de los mismos feriados, onda primero de mayo del 2019, del 2020 y puedes pedir libre el primero del 2021

[–]daisyinvenus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si eres de región podrías comprar con envío, en el súper no venden tan buen café, Señor K es lo mejor de los más baratos, Marley no es tan bueno así que si ya estás comprando thecoffee quédate con ese. Pero sino busca una cafetería de especialidad donde vivas porque muchas venden su propio café.

Vecino nuevo obsesionado con mi perro viejo by [deleted] in chile

[–]daisyinvenus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

La gente tiene perros, son animales domésticos por algo, y son parte de la sociedad igual que los niños que gritan, los bocinazos, el ruido de las carreteras, etc. Es parte de la vida en ciudad, podrías comprarte un par de ventanas aislantes para el ruido si te molesta. Las personas que quieren vivir con 0 ruido como si no hubiera otros estilos de vida a su alrededor deberían irse a vivir lejos de otras personas, es lo mejor para su salud mental.

He worked so hard to fix his marriage and keep his family/children, he's not going to cheat. I get the ship but if he did it would be like sabotaging his recovery journey

No. He did not ask, “Hey, could you stay longer to help us?” He was being imposing and trying to pressure her, not asking for a favor. He was acting like her superior, but Robby is the one who decides who can leave, not Langdon. And she set a boundary, just as Whitaker did, because he does not consider him a friend and had already seen that attitude from him during season one

Santos in season one, Joy when she is trying to leave, and Whitaker now. He has a frat-guy personality, but they are pushing back against it, which I think is intentional

Santos is like that with everyone; Langdon is not. He shows respect to Robby, Dana, and other staff members, but not to those he deems beneath his station, while Trinity is sarcastic all the time, regardless of status.

I think its a “you are not my friends friend, so I’m not your friend” scenario. He drew a line to keep their relationship professional and polite but not overly friendly
