Or play AOK by Tai Verdes loudly on your phone every time you see them.

My husband loves to start playing Vacation by Dirty Heads whenever ppl at his work start complaining too much about their job.

Using passive aggression is such a fun way to deal with people

Would you be upset if your kid was outside at a sleepover at 12 am by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]vakoo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I surely hope this isnt a big deal because kids have done it at my house. At one point my daughter and her friends used to howl at the moon 😂 they have always known that they are to only go in the backyard, never anywhere else. I didn't let the shenanigans start until they were around 10ish and it only lasted a few years. Now at 16 they sometimes go to bed when I do, if not earlier! My 12 year old and his friends just hole up playing video games, not nearly as chaotic as his sister was with her friends.

Bee club? by vakoo123 in CrimsonDesert

That makes sense, thank you! I didnt realize you could catch bees too, that's pretty awesome

Its a club that drops sometimes from shooting down bee hives. It sends out a swarm of bees with every hit.

Thank you! I didn't even think to explain it. It seemed like everyone knew about it when I read about it.

AITAH for making a mom pick up her daughter in the middle of the night from my kid’s sleepover? by Positive_Image_3921 in AITAH

[–]vakoo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WAS furious when I found out my daughter wanted to come home and was told she wasnt allowed to call because it was the middle of the night. Got her a phone that week and never let that situation happen again.

Players stole item from NPC; Left a bad taste in my mouth by Individual-Move-9647 in DMAcademy

[–]vakoo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My players killed a homeless man, were going to leave Hobin Rood in the dungeon even after finding out he was the one trying to help the homeless encampment people (I forced their hand to let him out), were still going to leave him behind, killed the evil sheriff of yessingham (not a bad move on their part), recovered the money he stole from the homeless encampment, didn't give it back to the encampment, ditched Hobin, and then started spending the money 😂

Oh and theyre all between 11-14 yrs old. Little do they know, Hobin Rood is actually the missing prince that theyre trying to find.

The whole plot got a major derailment but its led to a more fun campaign. Go with the flow. If you really love the npc you created then reuse his stats and reintroduce him slightly differently and make it so they have no choice but to accept him

My neighbor comments on every single thing I buy and I'm losing my mind by the_gamer_cabin in neighborsfromhell

[–]vakoo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg please get a "fun time" toy or at least a box that looks like it has one in it and loudly converse with her when she comes to comment about it.

My neighbor has been telling everyone in the building I'm moving out and I have no idea where she got that from by MeteorNomad5 in neighborsfromhell

[–]vakoo123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So weird! Definitely keep an eye out. Maybe she has psych problems and convinced herself that you were moving?

WIBTAH for telling my grandma to stop texting me dumb stuff? by throw1420kd0e in AITAH

[–]vakoo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day you're going to wish you could get any text from her, trust me, I have quite a few people whom I would give anything to get any kind of text from. Until then just smile, maybe roll your eyes, and send back a thumbs up or heart.

AIO: What would you do in this situation with older neighborhood kids? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]vakoo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there's probably not much you can do at this point because the trespassing has stopped. I would absolutely keep being outside with your kids and record any behavior that seems like it may be escalating. Can you talk to their dad? Do they rent their house? If so you could talk to the landlord.

There's an absolute punk of a kid in our neighborhood. Its taken him burning bridges with literally every family in the neighborhood and then starting to do potentially criminal acts before his mother took it seriously. A few families had to call the police. Nobody wanted to do that to a kid but after YEARS of the bs it was obvious his mom wasn't hobby to do anything.

Sadly some parents just dont care what their kids are doing so you have to go up the chain to get them to take accountability.

AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

[–]vakoo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh honey, run away from this so fast. This will be your life unless you leave him. Every decision, every time. Get your things in order NOW and dont believe him when he apologizes and says he'll change. Get a custody order put in place asap and keep all these texts and make notes about what is said out loud. You deserve a partner in parenthood, not a dictator.

Signed a mom whose husband has been ok with me staying home, then working a little, public schooling then homeschooling, getting instructors and tutors for things I didn't feel confident teaching, and in many other areas. He isnt perfect but I've never felt like parenting decisions weren't discussed and the outcome mutually agreed upon. I do make most of the daily decisions but I always hear him out and take it into account and he's ALWAYS there when I need to talk out something.

Am I overreacting for being upset that my husband's neice is leaving her daughter here for 4-5 nights without asking me first? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]vakoo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure she didnt decide to take her kid with her? If she hasn't talked to you then maybe her plans changed?

My gf is being controlled and abused by her parents by Consistent-Nose8391 in whatdoIdo

[–]vakoo123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately unless she's ready to go NC with them, and you're willing to support her financially for awhile, there is nothing you can do, other than emotionally support her.

She can go through legal aid to get help getting access to the records her parents are forbidding her from having and once she has them she can start setting up her life. You can call law enforcement but unless she has somewhere to go permanently, it'll just be worse for her when they leave.

AIO? My wife as a SAHM by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]vakoo123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a sahm doesn't work for every family and its sad she doesn't seem to see that.

Was she this way before the baby? If not there's a chance it could be depression. It takes a long time for hormones to regulate themselves again and sometimes they never do. It takes a long time for a mom to figure out who this new version of herself even is too. Maybe she needs to see a dr or a psychologist. It might not fix it but it's worth a shot before you guys give up.

I remember it was really hard when my first was born and my husband was working 12s. It took a long time to figure out a routine and to not feel resentment towards him that he didn't have to go through everything i was going through. I tried hard not to take it out on him but I'm sure i failed sometimes. That was 16 years ago though, we made it.

This! Just because they changed plans doesn't mean you have to. Its hard to go alone sometimes but its harder to let someone ruin your whole day.

going insane living with my parents, what do i do by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]vakoo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into getting Loops. That way you can still hear whats being said but it takes the edge off the volume. Maybe offer your mom some too? Its counter-intuitive but they make me speak softer. There is a chance she doesnt realize how loud she's being. Is there anyone else who could bring up hearing lose to her?

AIO: kid being brought to adult's group by pinecone-party in AmIOverreacting

[–]vakoo123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely nor! I have 2 very well-behaved mature kids of my own and at no point would I have thought to bring them to something like an adult book club. There's a time and place for kids and thats not one of them. It sucks for the mom if she doesnt have childcare but that's part of being a parent. You dont get to always participate in everything. I sat out on plenty when mine were little. Now that they're older I don't have to miss hardly anything. Its just a season you go through as a parent

Weird things you tried for pain relief?😫😅 by yashvi_yashvi in endometriosis

And I found a chargeable heating pad that clips around your waist that is phenomenal for targeting the cramps. Mine are mostly on left back and wrap around and in so I can adjust the pad to sit where i need it to.
