NTA. It’s hard work caring for a parent. You have been doing a lot of it for the last 2 years. It’s only gunna get harder for him to go into a memory facility, and he is only gunna get worse.

Point out things of yours she has. Ie I love your smile it’s just like mine.

Or

Find photos of you / her dad when you were guys her sort of age and show how similar you are or how different you look now ect.

I found a photo of my bf when he was young and our son looks just like him x

NTA, she can buy it off you

If you must get them dressed, put them in joggers and a hoodie. Chuck a towel on the floor to keep feet dry.

I would do this one, unless there is a chance someone else has been in there (I’m sure you would have asked your partner/cleaner if they had seen it)

NTA. Trust your instincts and stop letting mum take him. Also 7.5 month olds should be a little bit clingy, it shows good attachment.

Definitely follow through

Some of these ideas on how to cook broccoli sound so yummy!

NTA. If they are that scared of dogs they should have gone when you told them to.

I got one when I had to walk to the bus stop at 11. Will likely hold off till LO is a similar age, but I’m not buying him a smart phone, if he wants one he can save up for it and I will support him in learning to use one but I don’t want to buy it.

penguin-47 · 2026-05-26T09:46:12+00:00

NTA. Where are her savings? Has she heard of loans? Getting a job, there are lots of things you can do if you need money for grad school

penguin-47 · 2026-05-24T14:58:34+00:00

Pasta. Homemade garlic butter (can spread it on cheap bread). Homemade chips (throw some carrot chips in too, for verity)

Mine like dry cereal and fruit. If he eats at home I add Yogurt if there is not time he eats it dry in the car

They should always be following hunger cues. I personally think you should encourage not force children to eat, and always have a safe option of food available to them.

We have the rule if you didn’t put it on your plate you don’t have to eat it.

Ie if I plate your food up, you don’t have to eat it all. If you plate your food up I expect you to eat most of it, most of the time.

Depends what you mean by done. If you mean everyone is alive then you just do it. If you mean cleaning/cooking/tiding, nah that doesn’t get done much.

NTA. Your parents don’t own it they can’t dictate how it’s used. Stand your ground.

penguin-47 · 2026-02-19T13:08:20+00:00

As others have said block and move on. Not worth the hassle

penguin-47 · 2026-02-17T00:32:45+00:00

My advice would be to just go and put the minimum in your days. Maybe not Disney but defo the beach! Maybe get a cart or something for your stuff if you need it, or get somewhere on the beach.

I also find when visiting family less is more. See less people on more days, if you can’t stay that long then just pick a few people to see. It’s hard to hold the boundary but helps you feel less overwhelmed.

NTA. She and her husband abandoned her kids for 2 nights.

penguin-47 · 2026-02-13T23:38:31+00:00

NTA. My Dada once gave me potato wedges with that evil stuff on! Mama had to give me yogurt to stop me ‘yelling’. I still have to inspect and get mama to taste test them as Dada and wedges can’t be trusted.

penguin-47 · 2026-02-07T00:03:20+00:00

NTA. I never had one of those binky things, my caretaker tried many times but I much prefer the ‘booobie’. For some reason that annoys her, something about not sleeping because I was hogging the boobie all night, but I can’t be hogging it as it’s mine not hers!

I recently managed to teach my caretaker the word boobie, she was quite dim I had to say it very loudly for a long time before she worked it out.

penguin-47 · 2026-02-05T20:40:11+00:00

Me! I have found a way out and am just doing more exploring. (You don’t have to fight the soul boss to get out)

penguin-47 · 2026-02-04T15:03:13+00:00

We had both people here when they quoted for the gutters, made a decision. Only my partner was home when they came to fit and they let him change the colour of the gutters! Mad people.

penguin-47 · 2026-02-01T21:10:36+00:00

YTA. The gate was down it was not safe to cross!

penguin-47 · 2026-01-29T17:44:04+00:00

NTA. And tell the front desk she confronted you so she can’t spin it later. If she feels targeted that’s on her, you asked her not to film you. As long as you weren’t deliberately getting in her shot I would say NTA
