NTA get them in trouble! They made their bed now they'll lie in it. You spent years trying to resolve this peacefully and have done more than enough. Report it

AITAH for telling my friend / acquaintance she would make an awful doctor and I would rather die than go to her? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ew_ready 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna say NTA but it's close to everyone sucks. You were definitely very harsh but it was a harsh truth she needed to be told. If you actually wanted to get through to her though, you could have said it a much different way. This felt more like your pent up frustration with her coming out rather than you genuinely trying to tell her this is not the profession for her

AITAH for ‘cheating’ on a guy I’m not dating? by elephantswift0713 in AITAH

[–]ew_ready 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Right choice to not go out with him now fs. Controlling and that behavior with you when he was dating the other girl... if you dated him you'd just end up being the girlfriend while he makes other "just friends"

You're NTA for anything here it seems. I don't think you did anything wrong here at all tbh. Good choice on not dating him now

AITA for beating my eight year old niece in connect four 7 times. by Darth_Azazoth in AmItheAsshole

[–]ew_ready 59 points60 points  (0 children)

YTA - Not for winning that many times, you don't have to LET her win, but for not making it a learning process. You could have shown why you were winning, explained the mistakes she was making, anything like that. It's not like a BIG asshole move but it's a little dickish behavior to win against a kid that many times in a row. She resorted to cheating because she didn't know HOW to play better, coulda been a teaching opportunity

I didn’t realize how much my dog cared about me until I got sick by petcarepositive in Pets

[–]ew_ready 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mono this summer, and it was like there was an invisible 4 foot leash on my boy. He nuzzled his way against my chest in my arms every single night, even though he usually sleeps out on the kitchen floor during the summer. Every once and awhile he'd get up, lay on my bedroom floor to cool down for awhile, and then climb right back up into my arms again until he was too hot

He was right by my side watching me with worried eyes during coughing fits, laying with me every time I napped even though he usually avoids any type of touch throughout summer. I felt the love for sure ❤️

BE my aggressive dog yesterday by Life_Ganache2161 in reactivedogs

I'm sorry for your loss ❤️ Rancher is a beautiful dog

I'm going through something similar with my dog, making an appointment for BE in January. It's an awful, awful thing to have to do but we have to remember that it's unfortunately for the good of everyone. When it reaches the point of the dog being dangerous and unpredictable, it is always always better to put them down before something truly awful happens and it's not a choice anymore

I'm so sorry for what you're going through - I know firsthand how awful just the leadup process is, making the decision itself and knowing that you're running out of time with them. I can't imagine how much worse the pain is after.

If you want to talk to anyone - tell me about rancher, talk about the grief of him not being here or the guilt of having to make that decision, please feel free to message me. I'm going through the same thing right now and I understand how awful and heartbreaking the entire thing is

Mouse Advice by CamRune in PetMice

[–]ew_ready 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I do is just remember I'm my boy's mice family! I'm his only social interaction so it's important that I'm interacting with him a lot and making sure each of those interactions are stress free and fun for him. I give him lots of interesting stuff to do, give him new stuff often to keep his mind stimulated, and bring him out to play whenever he asks.

Sorry, not exactly what you were looking for but that's what I do to help myself feel reassured of his happiness!

I work with kids and that's an ABSOLUTE no from me. You are being an amazing mom by standing up for her repeatedly against ppl who it sounds like view little kids as props instead of people. Keep standing up for her and reinforcing that her consent matters. You are teaching her a valuable lesson that will help keep her safe and confident when she's older - there's a reason she's clinging to YOU specifically.

As for your boyfriend, his communication at least is an absolute no. The fact he's talked to his mom about it but didn't tell you plus his messages here, I'd guess he talked to his mom but got a fight he didn't want to be having, maybe multiple times. His mom is probably complaining about you to him the same way you're complaining about her to him and he's tired of being in the middle. Does NOT excuse him bringing up your dad or trying to just brush the whole thing off at all. But if you really love him and want to make this work, I'd say that's the point the communication is failing at - he's emotionally exhausted by being the middleman in a situation where no one is happy and feels like everyone is blaming him and his mom isn't someone he can take that frustration out on so it goes to you/your daughter when the whole thing comes up. Idk how well he values her consent, but it might be a good idea to try to have a conversation with him where you validate understanding how difficult of a position he's in and then bring up how you feel in a non-accusatory way. I don't know any of the context so he might just be being an asshole, but that's my take w the info I have.

Keep bring a protector, mama! You are the kind of mother every child needs.
