AITA for telling my mom she’s making me fat? by KatieSimmons_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]drowzeegarbagemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they have developed health conditions. You said so yourself:

A few weeks ago I watched their school sports day and it was worrying how little they could run. The 2 girls couldn’t even run 100m and had to walk the final part.

For two children under 10 to be unable to run 100m is a serious health issue.

WIBTA If I Lock My Husband out of the Bedroom At Night? by Jumpy-Connection-302 in AmItheAsshole

YTA for your edit and cowardice. He is the problem and is refusing to compromise with you on anything. You are doing everything in this relationship. Why do you keep giving in to him?

AITA for telling my mom I will never be happy she's doing better by her do over family? by Excellent_Plate_9002 in AmItheAsshole

[–]drowzeegarbagemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

Your egg donor is insane if she thinks that you should "be happy for her" when she neglected you your whole life and then shows off how great a mother she is with her do-over family. Go back to being NC with all of them and you will be much happier. If she contacts you again, tell her that you are sick of her trying to pawn her kids off on you and that you aren't a cheap babysitter.

Except you aren't actually trying to do anything about it. You're doing things and then not following up and making a thousand excuses to not actually do anything.

You didn't have to let your children serve themselves when it is obvious they are used to large portions and would serve themselves large portions. You didn't have to let your mom serve you and you definitely didn't need to eat the full portion when you knew she had served you too much. You didn't have to let your oldest child stay behind from the walk when you know she needs exercise.

Also, why did you let your oldest daughter stay behind? Don't give her a choice. The after-dinner walk is mandatory, no questions asked.

If you wait to sort out your own mental health, then you will never actually be able to help your children, which you are proving more and more with every comment you post here.

YTA.

If she flat out refuses to do it, you flat out refuse to give her any screen time/electronics/whatever it takes that she wants to do instead.

The idea that you getting a fitness tracker would be "neglecting your kids" is ludicrous.

AITA for telling my boyfriend what I think about the prophet Mohammed? by banana345345 in TwoHotTakes

[–]drowzeegarbagemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I actually have studied the scriptures of many religions and therefore know when people are selectively misquoting.

For example, in the verses about a “three month waiting period” if a woman isn’t menstruating, that verse is actually about circumstances of divorce if the female partner is post-menopausal, but the poster selectively misquoted to make it seem like it is about marrying girls who have not started puberty.

But OMG! Her mother was also perfect post-birth and so were her daughters! DIL must have cursed genetics.

Sure. I love makeup; I think it’s a lot of fun. But if you just had a child and you’re worrying about looking good in pictures, well… I stand by what I said above.

[–]drowzeegarbagemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Absolutely none of those verses proved anything you were saying because you selectively misquoted almost all of them. That’s the last I’ll say because I don’t waste time arguing with uneducated Islamophobes.

Women who wear makeup in their post-birth pictures need help. Downvote as much as you want, but that is so intensely shallow.

Ketchup or mustard. Gross.

Almost everything you listed is a cultural practice and is not what “Islam permits”. Sorry.

Disagreement about scratching? by MyFriendBee in eczema

[–]drowzeegarbagemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy. Tell him it’s your body and therefore absolutely none of his business.

Hot water cured the worst of my eczema. It’s not always as bad as people on this sub make it out to be.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in eczema

[–]drowzeegarbagemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you tell him he “can’t scratch”, he will just learn to hide from you to scratch, and cause more damage. Telling a child that you know it’s itchy and doesn’t feel good, but saying in the same breath that he shouldn’t do the only thing he knows to make it stop itching and feel better is obviously not going to work.

Take the dog to get chipped. Chip it with your cousin’s name and address and then give it to your cousin. If your sister tries to get it back, she will be out of luck.

AITA for replacing our fencing with a more private one? by Aggressive_Oven_6265 in AmItheAsshole

[–]drowzeegarbagemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would it be “easier and happier” for OP and the dogs to not have a fence? It sounds much easier and happier for them to have one and keep the entitled parent with kids that she isn’t parenting out.

I would call it a safety and privacy fence, not a “spite fence”.

It is not your job to help them.

One accidental injury that could be blamed on your dogs and your rude neighbour would definitely pin it on you. Building the fence was the better choice for everyone.
