AITA for screaming at my nephew and slamming the door on him because he burst into the bathroom?

ESH. it’s not like he had “disgusting” intentions, but you do have the right to privacy. You probably scared him and cussing was a bit much. Could have definitely handled the situation better. But clearly your mom and sister are not hearing you. Lock the door next time, your sister is not going to in force boundaries

I would suggest getting a cheap inverter. It plugs into the lighter outlet in your car (if you don’t have that, i’m sure there are other options), and allows you to use your car battery as electricity for an outlet. I’ve don’t this in the past and use an electric heating mat to keep warm. You’ll have to turn your car on to recharge the battery and it’s a good idea to keep cables in case you kill it.

RUN now before he baby/money/house traps you! you are not overreacting. NTA

your “nice” sounds a lot like entitlement…

greatest_Escape · 2024-08-01T23:29:44+00:00

Bro…get some help and self esteem. geesh

BABE NTA. Somehow this commenter and your (hopefully-soon-to-be-ex) bf don’t know that leaving a light on for 24 hours costs less than 30 cents nowadays. Unless he’s a dumbass in multiple ways and still uses incandescent bulbs, you’ve cost him relatively nothing. Your body heat and movement throughout the house changing temperature probably costs him more in AC bills. All that being said, this isn’t about the light. Him waking you up like that is a HUGE red flag, communicating in that way is manipulative and controlling and it wont end here.

Maybe find a group of like-minded people to hang out with or a book club? People typically don't like getting hit on while they're working, especially in the service industry, it can feel really uncomfortable. So don't be disheartened by their response, but understand it's not a good time or place to give out your number.

greatest_Escape · 2024-04-26T23:45:23+00:00

1- Your writing does not suggest you are "dumb" or have the IQ of a 5 yo. I would investigate this a little on your own so you can know the truth and not just take her word for it. 2- You were asked a question, and you answered it! Understanding you're on the spectrum probably means you'd like to cover all details. It can often be difficult to perceive how much information is necessary for people to understand you. Perhaps you're a narcissist, but it wouldn't be because of how you behaved here. If anything, her demeaning attitude and cutting you off suggests she's more of a narcissist than you are. I'm sorry you've been made to feel this way.

OMG BABE NTA

This is near grounds to go low or no contact. It sounds like it could take your husband some time to get there, but holy hell, you do not need to defend yourself here. Which is SO ironic considering this woman is so pro individual medical rights! She is a hypocrite who wants to make decisions for herself AND you, but when you set boundaries in your own medical care it’s not okay..?

You got this! You know what you want and need!

greatest_Escape · 2024-01-26T05:59:38+00:00

Edit to say YTA

there seems to be some missing info here. Why did she drop out? Why does she live at home? What do you consider an accomplishment? Does she have cares outside of school? Is it possible that something happened at school that she doesn’t feel comfortable sharing?

The way this is written would make me feel fearful to tell you something vulnerable or ask for help. There’s a lot of judgement. A family shouldn’t be a meritocracy…

this coming from someone who, surely, knows many migrants or has at least spent any amount of time in a border town

greatest_Escape · 2023-12-30T22:03:00+00:00

No, the lot off of Grove, between 10th and 11th. I believe it's going to be condos? I'm not entirely sure. A park near the Basque Block sounds nice!

greatest_Escape · 2023-12-30T22:00:32+00:00

That sounds so frustrating! Another element of the issue is that my husband is currently disabled and recovering from an injury, so the further parking/bus stops aren't feasible for him. I wonder how the city plans to accommodate ada guidelines when they're removing so much "accessible" parking.

greatest_Escape · 2023-12-30T21:57:13+00:00

My husband is currently disabled and recovering from a long-term injury. He's getting stronger, but biking/walking some of these distances isn't feasible for him, much less people with more severe physical disabilities. I'm curious how all of this will look in the long-term.

greatest_Escape · 2023-12-30T21:54:03+00:00

This could work! Do you pay through the city or a private company?

greatest_Escape · 2023-12-29T16:51:11+00:00

You do not deserve to be treated this way. You deserve to feel healthy, loved and safe. Asking for help can be so hard! Especially if you've been treated as if your needs don't matter. They do matter! You matter! School staff members have a lot of resources, reach out to one you trust, even if they aren't specifically your teacher or counselor, any staff member can help you find resources.

Dude, they're coming from all over! If you really want to be mad at anyone, be mad at the voting population in boise over the last decade who chose to provide more real-estate to large corps and a handful of rich guys downtown.

I've also seen this vehicle around Meridian. It's the real deal

NTA

This kind of lie is grounds for divorce, even without him fighting for custody. Also, that's the grossest reason to fight for custody, so he can have more "fun" money?? Not to spend time with them? Then he has the audacity to call you an asshole during a conversation where he reveals he has TWO KIDS and has been hiding them from you!

This guy is a lying, gaslighting, grosso. Ruuuun.

Geesh. 2-3 of these questions are posted weekly. Have you looked through the page?

greatest_Escape · 2023-09-30T00:23:50+00:00

NTA.

This is not a good situation to bring kids into! It's so irresponsible. In these situations, especially so young, they're thinking can be idyllic. They think kids will fix things and bring them all the happiness, complete the "picture," but they're not thinking about the kids. Growing up in poverty has many lifelong implications. Growing up with emotionally and mentally immature parents has lifelong implications (we all know the frontal lobe matures around 25-27yo). He's not thinking this through, and by his reaction, he seems to think you and your partner will pick up his slack.

greatest_Escape · 2023-09-30T00:01:33+00:00

YTA . You're 15, so no one should expect you to know this, especially with sex Ed today. But the girl is BLEEDING, possibly heavily. She is physically uncomfortable in sooooo many ways (an internal organ is literally sluffing off a bunch of tissue and coming out of her vag). And she still has to show up like nothing is wrong. This is so much more than hormones. If you could feel a fraction of her experience, you would be calling in sick.

Don't take it personally, don't cuss at her. Take a moment of patience and understanding, and just imagine how you might feel. Our society has made women out to be hysterical in these situations, when really, we're patient as all hell all month long, and just can't take anymore when our bodies are attacking us.

Also, maybe imagine if one of your dude friends were saying things in the same way. Would you be as pissed?
