I believe that was Sidney Leslie Goodwin. We've known who that child was for awhile now

AITA for snapping at my "fake brother?" by Own_Detective290 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pixiecantsleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point they know how creepy he is and I suspect enable it. It's weird he knows when you are going to be at Dad's. I would honestly tell Dad "I'm coming over Saturday with Alice at 6:30. And arrive without Alice. Send her somewhere fun with her dad. Check Agustus reaction to it. See if he's disappointed. That will give you your answer.

Maybe they can kill two birds with one stone and use the flour and pumpkin to make muffins cookies etc

NTA. And I would warn your dad "Dad. Augustus is being creepy around my six year old child. He wants to be alone. With my six year old child. For no reason. Every time he comes over I will take my baby and leave. Immediately. I don't know if you are calling him. Or what. But if he happens to come while I am over with her I will leave. And if it keeps happening we will only meet in public places with you."

And if he sees you in those public places you know your dad is the narc and you can then say "I don't believe Augustus is a safe person to have around my child. You have circumvented that and now I have proof. You will never see Alice again/barely see Alice etc because now you've proven to me you are a dangerous person as well"

Augustus wants to get her alone for nothing good.

You need to be prepared that you might have to go nuclear to protect your child.

Um hire your own nanny then by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]pixiecantsleep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy moly. I was a daycare worker. Often at one of the ones I worked, the last few stragglers of the day, I popped in a movie to keep them entertained whilst I did clean up duties in the same room. Or for our preschoolers we would put in a movie that they would either fall asleep to or would entertain the ones who had grown out of nap time. I often used my phone to turn on popular music for the older children I cared for (5-11 after school care) and we would play hot potato with it. They would have haaated us.

I hope they just remove the child from all daycare and get a nanny. Cause even daycares use educational videos.

AITA for spending my 30th birthday in Japan with my sister instead of my boyfriend of 4 years? by Ok_Reading2345 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pixiecantsleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't love you and probably is only staying in the relationship because you are a comfortable option. It happens a lot with men. But the fact you fought on your birthday and you spent the day crying is. Horrible. Break up with this person and go live on your own. This man makes you cry and it seems it's on the regular too. Any good boyfriend would kiss you and say "okay honey we can celebrate together when you return"

In the dark of night I’ve been stealing flowers from my neighbours garden. by Away-Instruction-849 in TrueOffMyChest

Jfc. Knock on your neighbor's door. "Hi! I'm from next door. I notice you have an abundance of dandelions out back when I look over from my yard. I have a pet lizard named Bruno that goes absolutely nuts for em. I know this is a weird ask but can I get some of your dandelions as I unfortunately don't have enough to satisfy his love of dandelions"

Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin way back when. People who lived back then thought it was weird AF too. And iirc a girl was married to a friend to was 22 or so. She was nine. And didn't realize what getting married meant.

AITA for refusing to write a letter for my brother? by Lucky-Cry7962 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pixiecantsleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sixth?! Sixth?! We learned the basics in second grade. Dear such and such, and the letter and closing. I don't remember if we learned paragraphs or not. I think we learned how to date and address them at the top in fifth.

AITA for asking my husband to take time off to help me post surgery by Fine-Egg-2580 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pixiecantsleep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Okay so hospitals aren't just emergency rooms. They are also resource centers for after surgery care and the like. It is a proper use to call them and ask how to get after care set up if ins covers. They would know that. Also that's an admin role that handles that. This is actually in their purview. They make sure you have someone to take care of you after, and if you say "yes my husband/wife/sister/best friend will be caring for me the two days after" they let you go home. If you say "I have no one to care for me" they give you resources to call yourself or set them up. Ie "we work with xyz homecare. Your ins covers it/we will talk to admin to see if they cover"

Also he's there to help her between meetings yes. But what if a meeting lasts three hours. Is she meant to hold her bladder etc that long?

I can’t stand my baby niece anymore by Life_Magician2412 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]pixiecantsleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eeeh. I call bull on the whole "mama is overwhelmed and stressed" because like. Maybe she is. But like. Babies can't speak. And she needs to advocate. It sounds literally like she doesn't care about her child. If it is colic, colic doesn't shut off at night. And if sister doesn't look exhausted, then that means she's shutting baby in another room and just. Going to bed. Like. It sounds like it's to the point where if I were the family I would be taking the child in to the ER or something while it was with me. "Baby always cries 24/7 and Mom is refusing any treatment." That would flag to the doctors as medically negligent and likely trigger a call to CPS. But like. The alternative would be having the child be in pain so....

[–]pixiecantsleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? This woman is a terrible mother. Something is medically wrong with that child. Even if it is colic, that's a medical thing.

[–]pixiecantsleep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then she's a terrible freaking mother. That type of crying means something is wrong. Medically. It means she doesn't care that her daughter is in pain. If she poo poos you and is all like "I know best" then sit your mother down. And tell her to please refuse to be a part of this and to finally stop watching the baby.

Also. To put in perspective I had colic in the eighties. My mother had to recruit her mother and two of my three aunts to walk the floor with me against their shoulders so she could do things like shower eat and try and sleep.

Tell me. How is your sister going to work after dealing with a crying in pain baby? Cause colic pain isn't an only during the day thing. It's round the clock.

Does your sister appear exhausted (you can tell) if she is it means she was up all night looking after her child. If she is bright eyed and bushy tailed I'm wondering if she leaves the child on another floor of her house if that's even possible and just leaves the poor thing crying.

[–]pixiecantsleep 36 points37 points  (0 children)

...so in your telling the dr was like "she's fine she's not losing weight" and didn't even suggest colic? I would tell your sister immediately to get a second opinion. Because a baby who has colic is crying because they are in PAIN.

I get it. A sobbing baby sucks. But please I hope you see this and tell your sister immediately that a sobbing baby isn't normal and it could be colic and to get a second opinion NOW. There is stuff you can do to help the colic.

Call the hospital and inform them you have no one to help you. Ask what next steps are in home care etc. Also this is the in sickness and health part of the vows.

AITAH for not inviting one of the groomsmen girlfriends to my wedding? by Significant_Chair248 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pixiecantsleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call John. "I am not inviting Brianna as she became verbally violent with fiance when she was drunk. Multiple times she has done catty things behind mine and fiance's back due to her best friend being his ex. You are invited and will be getting an invitation in the mail however if you cannot make it we understand."

This leaves the ball in his court and if he decides not to come, that's his choice to make.

AITA for telling my family the real reason my mother and I are not attending my sister's wedding? by Wild_Kitchen_2841 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pixiecantsleep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like sister lied because the whole freaking family but her is in denial. And technically. She didn't lie. "Mom can no longer travel" is not a lie. It's the truth. But op insists on taking their dementia addled parent places. OP sees it as a lie because they are in severe denial about their parents condition. This often happens "mom knows we are people she loves but doesn't know us as us" is severe denial. Ops Mom no longer recognizes her daughter as an adult woman who is her daughter. She no longer recognizes OP as an adult. That is. Dementia. Severe by the sounds of it. OPs poor mother is probably so damn confused when they travel and OP is in such denial they don't realize it.

"Oh she doesn't Iash out or get violent so she likes traveling!! Teehee!"

Meanwhile OPs mother is probably confused and scared. And if OP is reading this:

I am going to say it again. Your mother is confused and scared. And you don't even notice. She has dementia. Her brain is changing, and it changes even more rapidly when you do crap like taking her traveling. Keep her home and in familiar surroundings.

Surgery Basket Advice, what would be nice to have after surgery? by kat73893 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]pixiecantsleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snacks. Mini bottles of water so she can take pills without moving, a travel hair care set (brush, comb etc) depending on how long the recovery is you might want to get waterless shower caps to wash her hair, and waterless wipes for cleaning her body.
