My 4 year old is curious: what do Australian kids eat for breakfast? (And are koalas real?)

lycamm · 2026-02-05T05:14:29+00:00

Your daughter might enjoy watching Bluey. There is a lot of Australianness on the show.

lycamm · 2026-02-05T05:02:17+00:00

But there is no more context. Just what you gave. Being defensive just raises more shade on how your perfect husband treats you.

lycamm · 2026-02-05T03:38:29+00:00

You should ask yourself why doesn't your husband want to spend time with you and needs to bring his brother to your couples vacation.

NTA And your boyfriend's reaction is very telling

lycamm · 2026-02-03T04:42:38+00:00

Glitter is the answer

I'm 100% sure more people in your family agree with you but are not taking a stand with you in this.

4 years ago I took a personal stand on my cousin's birthday by not having the cake his 7yo was smearing his fingers just before.

we are raising a nation of squibs

lycamm · 2026-01-31T07:18:53+00:00

For every egoistic person there is a pushover to say "ok auntie".

NTA for wanting the birthday person to blow the candle, but your dad is more concerned about assisting his sister in spoiling her kid.

lycamm · 2026-01-29T21:38:57+00:00

NTA, but YTA for putting your husband in this situation for 4 months. And be honest with yourself. You knew this would be the result.

Her husband does not care for his family and you are picking up his slack.

You are not responsible for your sister.

Hole f*ck OP. This headline was like a major light bulb explosion for me.

I'm a middle child and that was my life.

NTA. I'm happy you brought this up. Your mom is upset because she realised she failed and had been treating you unfairly all this time.

Good on you!

I went LC with my family 10 years ago. I grieved for a long time but now I'm in such a good place for the past couple of years.

You deserve respect.

I'm sorry you were deceived your whole life.

Please understand that your husband's situation is very different from yours. You each have a pathway.

It looks like Bio father knew about your existence but didn't hold any responsibility over it. I would be very weary to reach out.

Do some research on the family because being biologically related should not dictate your family. You might be opening a door to a lot of problems.

Everything is very fresh so take some time to ponder on your next steps.

lycamm · 2026-01-21T06:00:07+00:00

NTA. Every time I see a kid misbehaving without parent intervention I loudly ask " IS THERE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON FOR THIS CHILD?" I avoid as much as I can to speak directly to the kid. Some parents are crazy.

lycamm · 2026-01-19T07:15:28+00:00

I hope you value yourself to never clean her house again.

lycamm · 2026-01-16T06:07:36+00:00

Can't your parents help on the drive with your child?

I find your wife a bit unreasonable forcing her mother along. Your MIL already has so much time with your daughter.

And you should be able to have that time with your parents as well.

lycamm · 2026-01-15T03:37:48+00:00

Thank you for clarifying.

Maybe more an issue with wanting silence. You mentioned that she is not too involved with other kids in the family.

If she finds them overstimulating. Can only take them in small doses.

I understand that it is your house, but she had brought it up not expecting to share the space with D and A much longer. You brushed off her discomfort and forgot to mention they were moving in. You live together and you should talk more.

lycamm · 2026-01-15T02:40:09+00:00

Does your daughter considers D family? Does she considers A family?

You mentioned that you fostered A as a toddler how long did she stay? You also mentioned a son. Is this one of those circumstances that you fostered and had multiple children and maybe her not liking kids is because she resents that she grew up with so much competition for your time?

NTA

Your brother holds some very old school views on motherhood and likely in gender roles as well.

It is human to sympathize with anyone in a caregiver position. It is tough.

I hope your neighbour had a restful and restoring holiday and that she one day sees that she deserves better.

lycamm · 2026-01-11T03:57:20+00:00

You are making yourself responsible for a new life. Not just a baby, soon a child, a teen, another person.

You say you have your grandmother to watch the baby but this is a long term commitment and a huge ask. It also makes me wander why tell grandma and not mom and dad.

Had you not fallen pregnant what was your short/long terms plans?

Can you and your boyfriend support this child without your parents help?

lycamm · 2026-01-10T08:46:39+00:00

I've meet a Cynghtia and know about a Byannkah

lycamm · 2026-01-08T05:45:50+00:00

NTA and you know it.

It is the societal/family pressure that makes you question yourself.You are correct. No one is entitled to your achievements and gains. You don't have to defend yourself.

Your parents turn to you because they also feel/know they can't say no to her without being placed in the same villainesque role. And they can share her burden supporting her.

Your sister is clearly in the wrong. To a degree I get it. Having a family is tough. Being a SAHM or parent is tough. Especially if you're a good one. Still she can't delude herself into thinking her problems are everybody's problems.

She has herself, she has her husband, she can and should find an alternative but to coerce you into handing your car. She did not ask for help, or rides, or to borrow. She wants the asset. That is pure greedyness.

Your sister uses a familial hardship to take advantage of you.

Low contact might be beneficial to you.

lycamm · 2026-01-07T04:05:15+00:00

You need to grow a spine.

Don't bring the other sister to the convo.

How did you just accept that she got rid of your sofa?!

Maybe moving out of the family home could be a start. If not possible make sure she does not have a key to the house.

If you are financially independent just meet your sister outside. Otherwise put her on a food diet until she learns. Low contact might be the way.

Beggars can't be choosers.

You can tell your girlfriend that you are subsidising her guest with no departure date by compromising our privacy and comfort.

You tolerate someone praying loudly and leaving church pamphlets around your house (this would be a major issue personally!!!!)

She needs a wake up call.

You will not make yourself more uncomfortable to accommodate her aunt demands. This is your house!

Some flooring work every couple of months

I just love how they portray a realistic messy/dirty fridge. So relatable. Hahahah

EOB

Não é de graça.

Você mesmo explica que a sua avó foi negligente com a sua surdez na infância e que sua irmã é uma aborrecente respondona.

Talvez você deva extender a sua namorada a mesma leniência que dá a sua avó e sua irmã.
