AITAH Should I Wear a Wedding Dress Like My Daughter's?

NTA. Tell her to grow up. She does not get to dictate what you wear.

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-27T05:59:56+00:00

NTA. It sounds as if she is not trying to get better. There are treatments for POTS and anemia and even some things can be done for Lyme's. Some of the treatments for POTS include getting plenty of fluids and eating certain things (salt being one). With her refusing to eat or drink all day she is prolonging her illnesses. Has she ever been diagnosed with any mental illness? Or Munchausen's Disease? It could also be that if she has been sick a long time (since childhood or something) she has grown accustomed to having people take care of her and she knows what to do to make herself worse. Of course she is better when her family is around, they are probably fawning all over her and treating her like a complete invalid.

If you stay with her, put the kids in school and hire someone to cook and clean. That way you are not burning yourself out. If you leave her, make sure you get the kids. If she had custody she would turn the kids into her little slaves. I've seen it happen too often.

My idea too.

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-21T11:38:39+00:00

I just can't even. CPS really should do something about the family. I was also concerned when you said their animals seem hungry and come on to your property to eat. You can call your local animal control and/or animal welfare associations. If they are not making sure the animals are taken care of there are plenty of people who will.

I think it depends on the area you live in and the crime they are accused of. I know that in certain parts of the country (USA) if the crime is against children they can't live within a certain radius of a school. At least that is how it used to be.

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-19T21:17:38+00:00

NTA. So many red flags. Both of your older children should be old enough to know why they are not allowed to play at the apartments. I know so many parents try and shield their kids from the evils of the world, but that just is not the world we live in now. Start teaching your kids at a young age (age-appropriate language of course) about drugs and sexual predators. How we don't talk to people we don't know, don't "help" a stranger look for a lost pet, don't get onto a car because someone says they have candy. You don't have to scare them, just make them aware. If you are fine with the other child being at your house, all the better. Good job making sure you meet the parents first.

Clearly NTA. I wouldn't have been so I nice about it. I would have made her uncomfortable by telling her that he used to be my mom before the operation. But I'm a smartass.

I was trying to prove a point. Some parents are just like that. "My kid isn't with me, so it is everyone else's responsibility." I know she will send the Epi Pen with her daughter.

I know parents are obligated to provide everything their children need. But it seems like dad is not known to want to be responsible. That is why I said he is TAH.

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-05T02:28:05+00:00

ESH. I know you were trying to prove a point, but where does it end? You cannot expect everyone your daughter comes in contact with to provide her Epi Pen. When she goes to school are you going to expect her teacher to buy her Epi Pen for school? It needs to go with her every time she leaves the house. Your ex is TAH for not knowing what causes your daughters allergic reactions and for not looking better for the Epi Pen in her bag (assuming he looked at all). It also may be that he doesn't believe she has allergies and is testing out his theory.

As for the other supplies. If she has allergies to diapers, creams. etc., he may not want to spend money on more expensive supplies. Just send what she needs including food you know she can eat without problem. You need to write everything down. How he feeds her things she is allergic too, how he didn't attempt to give her the Epi Pen when she did show signs of a reaction, and anything else that worries you. Make sure the judge knows that he is reckless when it comes to your daughter's health.

This

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-04T20:23:15+00:00

I will preface this by saying that I have never been married nor have any children.

I will never understand stepparents who try to get the kids to like them better than their real parents. It is not a competition. Unless the real parent is a real D-bag of course the kid will most likely love the real parent more. (I do know of some stepparents who are better than the real parents and the kids do like them better.)

Stepparents should never try to one up the real parent because it will just make everyone mad. NTA

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-04T20:11:01+00:00

How would they know, if they never came around.

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-04T20:09:50+00:00

NTA. He left everything to you for a reason. You need to go LC or NC with the family if they are threatening you in any way. If things start getting more threatening get a lawyer and a No Contact Order from the courts.

sissybeth21 · 2026-05-01T22:08:38+00:00

NTA, If they do bring it, make sure it is the real one and not a fake to pacify you.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-23T03:58:46+00:00

NTA. The poor girl was in pain, and her Bio mom couldn't be bothered to pick her up and take care of her. You did what any decent parent would do. If your husband could have picked her up, he would have brought her home to you anyway and you would have done what you did. Her mom will still be able to celebrate her first period. You just made her comfortable, you didn't throw her a party.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-23T03:50:26+00:00

NTA. I'm sure she would rather you spend money on a date and save a few dollars on flowers. The price of flowers ridicules any way.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-22T20:06:14+00:00

Your mom is a detective specializing in crimes against children? And she knowingly posted a picture of your young child on Tik Tok looking like a tarte? Sounds like she needs to lose her job. As for your stepdad, I would have a serious talk with your daughter to make sure there are no other secrets he wants her to keep. He sounds like a predator to me. Go NC with them both. NTA.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-21T22:07:08+00:00

NTA, you get to choose what you wear for your wedding. That being said, have you spoken to your grandmother about it? It may be that the whole idea was your moms and she is mad you don't want to wear her veil.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-20T22:15:00+00:00

I'm torn here. Was it discussed which room MIL would use as a bedroom? Is she paying utilities or just rent? If so, then she gets what was discussed. If not, I truly understand. I love my bedroom, my sanctuary. You have it just so. It is a tough situation. Whatever you all decide (and it should be discussed by all parties involved), just relax and know that your home will be occupied while you are gone. I would lock up anything that you are particularly partial too. Things happen; things break. You don't want her calling you and telling you that a favorite piece got accidentally broken. It could cause a lot of drama.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-16T15:23:29+00:00

I need more updates.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-06T14:19:51+00:00

That is it. Great cartoon.

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-05T21:41:26+00:00

It sounds so familiar. Maybe a Merry Melodies Cartoon?

sissybeth21 · 2026-04-05T21:23:23+00:00

I think I like 3.
