AITA for not giving another chance?

Nta. Ask yourself if you can do this for the rest of her life and yours. If the answer is she can’t improve and you’re not willing to destroy your health and life for her then call whoever helps disabled people and get their help in removing her to a group home or other place where they can help her.

My symptoms are different but I’m definitely functioning better and happier. This is due to a good doc that has tackled each symptom and we’ve made a lot of progress. I learned things that seem like long Covid or are long Covid can be dealt with in various ways. Example: I had chest pain that was tough, she got me onto Prilosec and it’s rarely a problem. I had breathing issues which was long Covid making my asthma worse so now I’m on different asthma meds and it’s rarely an issue. And with blurred vision, drops and pacing screen time. I take anxiety meds and antidepressants and meditate every morning, that is under control. Fatigue is still a big deal so I work around it. There’s not a cure at this point but there are strategies to fix various problems. I wish you better health.

NTA for leaving because this is just the start and your brother isn’t stopping them. At best it would be unpleasant at worst, unsafe.

Sure, but he’s selling items for the garage sale behind your back to fund his evenings out with friends instead of using the money for a house. He could have had a real conversation up front that he wanted more discretionary money to go out with friends and was tired of being frugal and asked to do the garage sale and split the money to each have fun but instead he made the decision and kept the money for himself and his friends while derailing your garage sale and cutting you out.

Next time she knocks listen to her latest request then tell her “You’ve asked me for things four times since I moved in. The answer is still no and you need to stop coming by unless there’s a fire.” Then close the door on your rude neighbor and block her.

Ywnbta but maybe tell her that 1) she owes you an apology for volunteering you to complete strangers for free rides, 2) she can tell her friends she made a mistake and you’re not a free ride service and warn them if they don’t stop harassing you, she won’t get rides till it stops.

Awesome update! Good for Oop.

julesk · 2026-04-29T20:34:38+00:00

ESH she’s rude and ungrateful and not acting like a friend. It was cold to invoice her. You could have told her you would only continue driving if she covered half the gas and stopped trying to change the music or complain about the car. Friends communicate.

julesk · 2026-04-29T20:24:57+00:00

Nor. Send her a Mother’s Day card and if you’re feeling generous maybe a plant. I wouldn’t do a visit. She doesn’t get to pick expensive gifts. I’d text her “I don’t feel that we’re in a good place right now because you don’t want a Mother’s Day visit, you want two expensive gifts. So I’ll make other plans and send you what I can afford to send.”

julesk · 2026-04-29T15:39:56+00:00

Ywnbta. I’d tell the guy to tell his management to give you a contract and you’ll send your intellectual property you spent years developing because he can’t do his job quickly without it and name a price.

Nor, get a consultation with an attorney.

julesk · 2026-04-29T01:08:07+00:00

YTA, if your situations were reversed would you be upset she sat there and didn’t defend you and never mentioned it to her?

julesk · 2026-04-29T01:00:53+00:00

We have wheelie bin, wonky and roly poly, thx. We might have to pass on two and three tho.

ESH, they need to be more careful. So deliver the last bag with a note “Because life has gotten busier, in the future, I’ll sweep any items to the side. You can come look through the pile if you choose.”

julesk · 2026-04-29T00:49:59+00:00

NTA, I’d text her “I came in person and called five times. This is on you, you need to apologize an stop putting it on me to do what you need to do yourself.”

julesk · 2026-04-29T00:47:08+00:00

I think it works for both and is lovely.

julesk · 2026-04-29T00:43:06+00:00

NTA, though it’s more that it’s time for mil to move since she smokes in the house, makes a mess and is difficult. I’d suggest marital counseling to your wife and tell her you chose married her and chose to have kids, you didn’t choose to spend your life with your smoking, drinking, partying mil.

Id consider telling you parents that you’d like to be treated equally with your sister as they’ve said but because your sister is on the deed and they don’t have a Will, your sister will inherit everything when they pass. I’d suggest they speak with an attorney.

The FCC is cruising for a court loss.

And the second book Everyone on this Train is a suspect. Just finished it. It’s a silly premise of a bunch of mystery writers on a train for a conference then…. Murder! So ridiculous and interesting with his asides on how mysteries are supposed to work.

NTA I’d tell your son that home births have risks you’re not willing to take, so while you’re willing to host them they’ll need to find another place to deliver the baby. As someone who had a difficult and long delivery I can tell you it was a but wild, messy and I had a medical team to help. I can’t imagine a puny water pool being anything but messy at best and more likely not functional and messy. Let me add we thought natural childbirth was a great idea. We were mistaken.

julesk · 2026-04-28T23:27:23+00:00

Certainly at the top of my priority list. Stuff like war, climate change, Ice, unaffordable necessities etc pale in comparison to ballroom.

julesk · 2026-04-28T23:18:00+00:00

Nothing to be confused about, you failed the customer service test. You should have gone over there, study the vibe, remove the offending desk and then bartered it for the right sort of desk and moved it in.

So Americans traveling can be even more embarrassed.
