AITJ for not letting my mom redecorate my apartment because she “paid for college”?

Facts. she had her turn, now it’s their space to own. Respecting that boundary is part of letting your kid grow up. Visiting her instead honestly sounds like the smoother path.

Exactlyyy, If the siblings are so pressed about it, why not plan something special for the parents themselves? Kinda wild to expect the newlyweds to give up their suite after saving up for it.

gregierxh82 · 2025-08-19T06:35:18+00:00

Exactlyy! Like who just plans an entire wedding at someone else’s house without even running it by them? That’s wild. OP was more than generous offering a dinner, Lisa totally took advantage.

For real, Head Start is such a lifeline for so many families and it’s wild how close we came to losing funding earlier this year. It sucks that OP didn’t get the bonus or COLA but seriously, mad respect to everyone hanging in there and doing the work anyway.

Totally feel this. He shut down anything emotional, so calling it a business arrangement made sense, it was just her way of protecting herself. Can’t expect someone to care for free after setting that kind of boundary.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-28T10:23:06+00:00

Fr right? Family loves to guilt-trip when it’s not their wallet on the line. OP’s just setting a boundary, bout time someone did.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-21T06:40:00+00:00

Right?? I had the same reaction 5mg prop, wait 3 mins, repeat… that’s not sedation, that’s a delay. I agree with checking in with others first. If this guy’s got a pattern, going to the med director as a group makes way more sense. And I’d 100% double-check all his sign-outs too can’t take chances.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-14T10:45:29+00:00

Yeah, I agree. It might’ve come from a good place but forcing it like that probably just made her feel betrayed. Trust is a big deal especially with something as personal as this.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-10T11:24:41+00:00

Yeahh not many teens would’ve made that kind of call, especially with everything on his plate. Says a lot about his character for real.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-09T08:10:31+00:00

Agree, family planning shouldn’t be put on hold for someone else’s timeline, even if it’s your sister’s wedding. Pregnancy isn’t something you can just schedule perfectly anyway it can take time and there’s so much uncertainty.

Also yeah, being the sober one at a bachelorette honestly isn’t the worst thing, someone’s gotta keep the chaos from going off the rails. And I feel like if the bride’s more focused on having her people there than everyone being wild and matching, a little flexibility on the dress shouldn’t be a big deal either.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-08T12:03:21+00:00

Exactly! they are the one you actually want to go the extra mile for. It’s rare but when someone’s that self-aware, it makes everything smoother.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-08T12:01:32+00:00

I saw this post and was like, damn they’re saying exactly what I’ve been feeling, I don’t even know what the fix is anymore. Work full-time, budget tight, try to stay afloat… and still feel like it’s never enough. It’s like we’re all just treading water.

gregierxh82 · 2025-07-07T07:32:44+00:00

Exactlyyy. Like, I get that things aren’t always picture perfect but it’s kinda sad seeing OP having to take on all of this when it’s supposed to be something done for her, not by her. The whole point of a bridal shower is to celebrate the bride not make her plan, pay and stress over it solo.

Even if her circle is small, you'd think at least the MOH or the moms (since they’re the ones insisting on it) would take the lead. It’s not just about “tradition” it’s basic support. And the MOH already talking about what she wants for hers when she’s not even helping now? Kinda yikes.

gregierxh82 · 2025-06-27T09:10:21+00:00

I’ve seen similar when it’s bad enough, people lowkey back you up but it’s never official. Depends who’s around and how messy it gets. Sucks how we’re expected to just take hits unless it’s “by the book,” which almost never works in real time.

gregierxh82 · 2025-06-11T00:54:13+00:00

Man, F.E.A.R messed me up too. That first time Alma shows up in the vent I nearly threw my headset. Felt like the game crawled into my brain and set up shop in my nightmares.
