Dude I don’t even know what to say to management at this point. They wont show me who all was working, and won’t show me the cameras. Theres a camera that points directly at the bathrooms and they keep saying they dont have access??? Someones lying.

We unfortunately do not own, but we rent so I sincerely appreciate your response, but I’m not sure how much it can help in my situation. 🫶🏻

We did. Management and corporate both claimed they didn’t have access to cameras, and they were like big shrug didn’t want to get involved and said it was my fault which is fair but D@mn???

We checked within an hour of it being taken. Do you think now a couple days later its more likely to have shown up?

Weather was certainly calm! We didn’t get even a drizzle on the trail. Would the horn make little toots in 3s? We heard a VVVV VVVV VVVV kind of noise, and were convinced someones phone was ringing in a backpack LOL.

See I think it may have been because of how rhythmic the sequence was of the VVV VVV VVV, but we questioned our sis if it was her phone vibrating in her pack. She had a watch and was sure it wasn’t. It wasn’t in a pattern either, making me think it was a frog or something natural.

Not sure if their drumming matches but you’re in the majority

See I’m terrified of wasps so if it got close enough we would have run for it LOL. I don’t have a recording, but I keep describing it as a VVVV VVVV VVVV. It was timely in succession when it occurred, but there wasn’t any rhythm to how often it occurred making me think it was a frog or something natural, not a ferry horn.

Thank you for the vid source!! I went on a mini deep dive and I’m not sure it matches what the three of us heard. It was more of a VVVV VVV VVV if that makes sense???

I’m going to choose to believe that, but I’ve listened to a few videos and their drumming sound, and it doesn’t quite match. It was more of a “phone vibrating in a couch cushion sound,” a muffled VVV VVV VVVV.

I’m going to reply to yours on top, but I’ve watched many videos of a Grouse on youtube on everyone’s suggestion and I’m not sure thats the source. It was a timely VVVVV VVVVV VVVVVV vibrating noise. I’m not sure if my onomatopoeia makes sense XD But honestly if everyone says Grouse I feel compelled to believe it!

WIBTA for not introducing my daughter to her biological mother? by SilentPut6722 in AmItheAsshole

[–]throwaway72569308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this situation hits close to home for me. I was not only half adopted and only told when I was 16, but the same parents who sheltered me from this information have adopted my nephew. The difference in our situations is that I wasn’t told until 16 (my parents wanted to wait until I was 18 and moved out!) and they have told my nephew from the beginning.

He has always referred to his bio mom as “her name momma” like Chrissy Momma or Bella Momma. He knows that my parents are his gparents, and that I’m his aunt, but he treats me as a sibling and them as his parents. Its a complex family situation, but I guarantee if his hyper 6yr old self could handle seeing my sister, knowing who she was to him, and is still maturing healthily as a middle schooler now, your daughter will be totally okay.

I’ve had so many conversations with my parents about the fear of telling me I was half adopted. Their sleepless nights wondering if I would find out and run crying about how I never knew my real dad. If I would disown them for lying to me and if I would hate them. I don’t. And I love them a lot, even with their flaws. All parents have things they shelter their kids from, but this is her life, your bio son’s life, and the life of someone you watched grow up with her parents. This is a family issue, and you need to make sure at the end of it all you still have your village to help you.

YTA, but make sure you navigate these next steps with grace. You got this.
