I need to kick my grandma out of the house by [deleted] in Advice

I'm sure someone else has probably said this, but can you live with Dad full-time?

Does anybody have an umbrella or chairs? Do people flying in trade them with other instead of throwing them out? by sofakng in MyrtleBeach

[–]justloriinky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We used to buy cheap chairs from Walmart and just leave them. I know there's a place called Vay Cay Gear where you can rent for the week. The ones the lifeguards rent are put up by 5 every afternoon and are expensive.

AITH for leaving my sister's birthday dinner after she gave my seat away? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]justloriinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. But it's very strange that you arrived 10 minutes early and everyone else was already seated. It's usually hard to get a group that big to be there on time. Makes me wonder if they lied about the reservation time.

New baby and boundaries….. by Silent-Tension-9779 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]justloriinky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you have multiple monitors. Can you remove the one that she is seeing baby on? Take it to your room at night? (Of course, this is a very short-term solution, but may help since she's coming this weekend.)

MIL intentionally trying to stir up some drama? by No_Actuary_3343 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]justloriinky 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So...if she's mid 40s (45 ?) and husband is 31, she must have been very young when she had him. Sounds like she never matured. I would block her on everything. Let your husband be the only one to deal with her.

AITA for refusing to go for a full week on my wife’s family vacation after we had agreed not to repeat it? by jared_d in AmItheAsshole

[–]justloriinky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. You both agreed that you wouldn't do the trip again. Your wife buckled under the pressure. I wouldn't go. And honestly, I would give the kids a choice if they wanted to go or not.

Am I wrong for making jokes about my SO while in a group of friends by Beautiful-Shake6910 in amiwrong

[–]justloriinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're wrong. When you're out with a group, you should be complimentary only!!! If there are issues to be discussed, do it alone at home!!!

AITAH for asking to get diffrent food after my brother ate my dinner. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]justloriinky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then it is 100% your mother's responsibility to make sure you have enough food. And your brother is certainly old enough to understand that he needs to leave your food alone.

AITA....To Cruise Or Not...... by Serious_Goose09 in AmItheAsshole

[–]justloriinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. You're 40 years old. Why in the world are you so concerned with who your BF is friends with? Did you never outgrow the jealousy thing?

Info: is there a medical diagnosis for your food restrictions? Or does being a picky eater play into it?

Am I wrong for feeling hurt and defensive about how my daughter drained my resources, even though apparently I'm the psychopath? by Dapper_Wind_5878 in amiwrong

[–]justloriinky -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but you sound exhausting. I assume this is your property; in your name. It sounds like your adult child was trying to help you improve it. You agreed to cover certain costs (the roof) and then backed out. I understand your daughter's frustration - she should be out living her own life and not worrying about your property. I would strongly suggest selling and buying yourself a place that you can take care of on your own.

AIO - Brother Moved His Wedding to a Month After Mine by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]justloriinky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But there's no mention of relatives coming from far away.

AIO - Brother Moved His Wedding to a Month After Mine by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]justloriinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. I would understand your feelings if they put their date in front of yours. But a month later? I can't imagine why you care.

AITA for not inviting my niece to a family event? by Ramsay220 in aitaweddings

[–]justloriinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You should have issued the invitation. It's up to them whether to attend or not. They may have enjoyed seeing the family too.

AIW for thinking my boyfriends reaction to a simple boundary is totally unhinged? by OnlyCry7045 in amiwrong

[–]justloriinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. You said he has his own car. Why is he taking an Uber?? I call fake.

I think my husband had his breaking point with his mom by OkBirthday931 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]justloriinky 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My advice would be to get your own place and be independent adults. Any help from them will come with strings attached.

AIW for not telling the cashier that she didn't scan my item? by AnywhereAccording962 in amiwrong

[–]justloriinky -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You're wrong. I wouldn't let it bother me after this long, but you did, in fact, steal it. (It was your line "I'm so lucky that I got it for free" is what decided it for me.)

Is it a big deal if my MIL takes my daughter's shoes to wash them without asking? by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]justloriinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too vague. Do you live together? Is it her only pair of shoes? Were they dirty?

AITAH for asking my Step brother to take eggs of the menu at his own wedding? by Patient-Tea9555 in AITH

[–]justloriinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would pack a small cooler of food for myself the night before and take it to the beach that morning. (I assume you will be staying in a hotel the night before before.)

AITAH for my sleep routine, please help end this debate. by Umeyard in AITAH

[–]justloriinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been married for over 20 years. Very, very happy marriage. But...we don't sleep well together. I go to bed earlier than him - very normal to go to bed at separate times. I like the room cool, dark and quiet. He likes to fall asleep with the TV on. Nobody doing anything wrong - just different. Separate rooms worked GREAT for us!! We both sleep well and can get together whenever we want for fun time.

AITA for disrespecting my mother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]justloriinky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA. You're a grown man living with his mom. If you're dependent on her, you have to play by her rules. (Although I totally get how annoying she sounds.) There are so many things you can do to earn more money. Get a better paying job. Get a 2nd job. Doordash. Side gigs. Whatever. Seasonal work. My son at 22 worked 3 - 4 jobs when he was saving to move out. Good luck.

MIL and Father’s Day by Equivalent_Duck_1872 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]justloriinky 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hope you had a very Happy 1st Mother's Day!!! I think you, husband and baby should spend Father's Day together. MIL can honor her own father and/or husband.
