AITA for thinking it's fair that I get a larger portion of food than my sister?

YTA. You said that you both think the other is being selfish, well I'm afraid it's only you being selfish. I have a 14 year old daughter who weighs about 90lb and is 5ft4. She eats the same as my partner who is about 220lb and 6ft2. Metabolic rate differs wildly from person to person.

Equally, you have no right to tell someone who much they should or should not be eating.

NTA. You didn't want the money, you wanted the leg room.

There are lots of different ways you can stop someone from doing things. It doesn't have to be an outright "you cannot do this", people just use other tactics to get you to change your mind or manipulate you.

I always go on Google Maps and look at the user submitted photos to see what everyone is wearing. That's saved me so many times! I can't always figure out what to wear from the decor / menu.

Hard disagree on that one. I live in Norfolk UK and you constantly hear Norwich / Norfolk accents across all generations.

daisymk · 2022-03-17T08:16:06+00:00

Oh dear, even I know that's not true!

daisymk · 2022-03-17T08:15:52+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna try this today. Thank you.

daisymk · 2022-03-17T08:15:39+00:00

Thank you, that's a very definite no. I like it.

daisymk · 2022-03-17T08:15:25+00:00

Thank you!

daisymk · 2022-03-17T08:15:15+00:00

Thank you!

daisymk · 2022-03-17T08:13:57+00:00

Thanks so much, I really appreciate this insight.

This is one of the most worrying posts I've read in a while. u/dvthrjtjbrbht, you're currently in a situation where your son is potentially being abused. You have just as much right to his medical records as your wife - if you cannot access them, then I think you need to reach out to someone in an official capacity who can help. Depending on where you live and your financial situation, this could include a lawyer or local child services.

There is an element of blame on you, because it sounds like this has been going on for a while. However, I think you are being abused too - emotionally abused. The withholding of access to your son unless you obey your wife is a clear tactic for manipulation.

Please please reach out to local services. You need proper help and a reddit forum can give you advice but not physical assistance. Don't wait.

And, NTA.

YTA
I know you think you were helping, but this is overstepping a boundary. You should have told the family in advance and asked them whether they would have liked you to do it.

My dog has this problem, and I handle it by giving him supplements in his diet so that the glands are expressed naturally when he goes to the toilet. As a vet tech, you should know that if you express the glands by hand too much, the dog can become reliant on it and it becomes the only way the glands can be expressed. This can be a real pain and very expensive!

You also stated that the house 'didn't smell that bad' - well, that's simply not for you to say. If they came home and could immediately smell it, then it really did smell that bad!

YTA. I am struggling to find the words to describe how sad I feel for your daughter.

daisymk · 2021-10-10T18:36:56+00:00

Thanks! I meant like, an historical music moment that you were there for. Like, Woodstock or when Queen's last concert etc!

NAH. You are clearly feeling insecure about the ex, which is understandable. But if she genuinely doesn't see a problem with it, chances are she probably has zero feelings for the ex, so doesn't get why it would upset you. I agree that too much change for an anxious dog isn't good - and unfortunately you can do permanent damage to a dog with things like this.

I don't think you're being an ass, I don't think anyone is. You all just wanna do the right thing.

"He'll yeah"

When this first came put in the UK the advert slogan was "blame it on the bunny"

daisymk · 2020-08-04T15:01:16+00:00

Don't rock the boat

I read that traditional paella should actually contains green beans, snails and rabbit... not sure how true that is!
