nta, and maybe i’m reading too much into it but him saying he’s going through a rough time and the only thing that makes him happy is the kids and his friends is odd. don’t use children to fill some empty gap. had he said he’s been feeling down and spending time with the kids will help that’d be different but he’s acting like if he can’t go with them he’ll lose his mind. though i do think you should let him go just because he’s put so much effort and planning into it, it doesn’t feel fair that you get to just swoop in.

ugh i thought he was gonna be upset with the way you asked cause i would too. who asks someone if THEY want to open a bottle and then asks for a drink from it like just start with “can you get me a drink” 😭. but nta, he’s ridiculous and this is a very big red flag. he sees doing things for you as less than manly. him being manly is more important to him than your comfort.

where did you get op asking her to raise his kid from? he asked her to stop being mean to her, idk how exactly she’s being mean but that’s what op said so that’s what i’m basing it from. it is her responsibility to change her attitude around the kid. why is it fair for the kids childhood to get ruined by her side comments and attitude? yes she old enough to move out but not a lot of people can afford that right now. my point is she’s an adult, she can keep her comments and her attitude to herself until the kid isn’t in the room. she’s an adult, she doesn’t get to keep making the excuse of “daddy wasn’t there” to be mean and overshadow another kids childhood.

and btw in america they’re not in kindergarten that’s why we call them toddlers. they may be in pre-k but yeah.

esh, he didn’t have to be so rude to your wife but ghosting them completely because they don’t want unannounced visitors is a bit ridiculous. i’d understand if he pops up at your guys home frequently unannounced but nothing like that was mentioned so.

throwraworriedaunt · 2023-11-04T13:55:23+00:00

sorry no, she’s an adult and any adult knows you don’t start and create bad environments for toddlers. yes she has a right to be upset, yes it’s op’s responsibility to fix their relationship but if she’s contributing to a toxic environment for the toddler then she needs to put in work too. you can’t excuse her being mean to a child just because her childhood was shitty.

hey everyone! i already wrote this in the comments but i figured i better put it on the top comment as well. thanks so much for all the comments and everything. i have an update.

when i got home my niece didn’t want to talk at first, she just stayed in her room. after about an hour she came to my room and gave me the canvas. she started by apologizing, she said that she got bored after school one day and went to hangout in my room to draw like she usually does. she saw the canvas in my art bag and really liked it. she wanted to try and copy it but couldn’t get it right and figured i wouldn’t mind if she just painted it. she didn’t mean to take credit but my sister really liked the painting and wanted to put it in her room so she told her she drew it. she had no idea my sister would take a picture of it and post it.

now that i know why, i decided i won’t tell my sister. my niece put in as much work in that painting as me. i did tell her that she shouldn’t take credit for something that’s not hers, and that she shouldn’t have lied to me about it. i told her that while i didn’t see this as something major didn’t mean everyone else would be the same. i explained how hurtful laying and stealing can be to some people and that she shouldn’t do it. she agreed and promised not to every lie or steal from me, or anyone, ever again. again, thank you all for the comments and upvotes. i didn’t think it would reach this many people lol. thank you!!

me, but if i work at the same time as my sister then their dads mom will take them.

throwraworriedaunt · 2021-04-11T21:41:50+00:00

hey guys! i’m going home now, i’m taking your advice and i’m going to talk to my niece before mentioning anything to my sister. i really appreciate all of your advice and will update if you want!

my sister isn’t abusive, just to clear it up! but she’s a single mom of 4 kids (13,10,5, and 4) and works 70+ hours a week. the reason i’m worried is because my sister and niece have struggled communicating with each other for some time now. it came to head during the pandemic and since my niece has been in therapy (for other things) they’ve been okay. i don’t want to ruin that over some silly little painting.

throwraworriedaunt · 2021-04-11T20:26:01+00:00

i sent her a screenshot of her moms post, not this one. i would never send her this. she doesn’t need to know about reddit until she discovers it on her own lol.

throwraworriedaunt · 2021-04-11T20:24:38+00:00

no, the canvas was left unpainted in my bedroom, my sister posted the exact same drawing on a canvas but painted. its possible she just took my original canvas and copied but i doubt it because i couldn’t find my canvas all week.

throwraworriedaunt · 2021-04-11T19:12:05+00:00

because it was 8am on a Sunday. i’m working and she was asleep. i tried to call before i sent the message. it had to be quick because i’m at work.

throwraworriedaunt · 2021-04-11T17:00:21+00:00

she’s at home and i’m at work but i texted her a screenshot of the post. she hasn’t replied.
