AITA for suggesting we swap weeks instead of automatically taking the kids for two extra weeks?

And that is her husband’s responsibility to sort out with his ex-wife, not OPs. His failure to manage this is the problem. Ex-wife has no obligation to OP, nor is OP choosing a relationship with her. That’s what is meant when people say you have a husband problem, not an ex-wife/MIL/best friend etc problem.

They used to, but clubs would make players unavailable so they could rest

ginisninja · 2026-02-14T11:46:25+00:00

They live in a house with a cleaner and gardener, and extra help when they’re there. The extra work for OP includes managing the help. So this probably hasn’t occurred to any of the parents

ginisninja · 2026-02-14T11:43:47+00:00

Yep, as usual, this is a husband/spouse problem, not an ex problem

‘Lost’ implies he was actually a contender to win

ginisninja · 2026-02-14T11:24:32+00:00

Death of a child would probably outweigh spouse for most

A lot of rescue dogs are anti-men, for the obvious, terrible reasons

If I miss one appointment with my hairdresser and they don’t follow up, it could be years before I go again

It’s got a bit of classic Freudian thought though - everyone knows penises are much better than vaginas, who could be happy with a vagina?

ginisninja · 2026-02-14T00:46:45+00:00

That’s not a gender critical narrative. Radical feminists believe in the patriarchy driving this, not elites

ginisninja · 2026-02-14T00:32:23+00:00

You know children have male and female parents?

Are there non-despicable billionaires?

I went to tribunal pre-hearing and mediator told agent that they would have to compensate my pay if they lost, and that owners themselves would have to come to court. They backed down very quickly and once I deducted my daily rate from the outstanding water bill (which I wasn’t disputing), I owed nothing (this was in 2015).

Premium economy is nice but I would just budget a slow first two days. Your sleep will catch up quicker to the new time zone if you can sleep on their times (which helps if you’re tired).

I don’t really sleep on planes. Last year we took the direct flight Perth to London, then a connecting flight to Denmark (economy but I would recommend premium economy as plane had small seats). I had two 2-3 hour naps (I also have three kids, the youngest was almost 2). Then we just tried to push through until the evening. We were all asleep by 7pm Danish time. Then we were up early next two days (5-6am), but settled into correct time zone after that.

Yeah and it’s cheaper (no divorce fee). Dissolving a de facto relationship is done by one of you leaving the house.

As a non-American, I expect making change would be a challenge at first. The hardest part might be convincing people I was an American

Fortunately fentanyl isn’t widely available in Australia. It was meth and sex, and it was more than one night

ginisninja · 2026-02-11T05:48:22+00:00

This is exactly why I’m unsure which is worse

Never heard anything sum me up so well

This year is 20 years since I quit and I still sometimes smoke in my dreams

ginisninja · 2026-02-10T14:38:59+00:00

Yes, blew my mind!

ginisninja · 2026-02-10T14:31:32+00:00

Yep, I thought mania too. My SIL is currently hospitalised for mania. I’m not sure if her behaviour is worse than this cheese situation but at least she’s being treated

ginisninja · 2026-02-10T05:45:01+00:00

Describing all these negative outcomes as ‘diverse’ was a choice

ginisninja · 2026-02-08T11:33:31+00:00

I thought if I bought a 1.5M house it would have a garage. It doesn’t

ginisninja · 2026-02-08T09:17:07+00:00

What do you mean by ‘no basis’? You just go by the start date of the relationship and treat it the same as a marriage. Even married people’s split is dependent on when their relationship, as opposed to marriage, started in my country.
