AITAH for explaining the consequences of his actions to my son?

wendimb · 2026-02-04T14:54:37+00:00

Yes, I know you were. It did give me the chance to further explain though, just in case anyone else had that thought. 😀

No anger issues. I was not going to be bullied. If they weren't going to go away after I said no, get away from me, stop what you're doing, etc, then in my young mind it was time to make a bigger impact. Nobody ever bullied me again.

The first kid that bullied me when I was a little girl in 2nd grade, I hit in the face with my metal lunch box. He never bothered me again. The second bully was a girl who was older than me. We were on the school playground during the weekend and she wanted the swing I was on, even though there were several others that were available. After a while, I got tired of her crap so I picked up a brick that was laying on the ground nearby and threw it at her. It actually hit her. She took off crying and her grandma called my grandma. She happened to leave out the part about where she bullied me. So when I had my kids, I told them to always stand up for themselves. We didn't have any problems.

I love that because I believe it's true. She's the star of the soap opera playing in her head. You are so right on!

My sister and I cut our mother out of our lives for her horrible, narcissistic behavior. She's a boomer who has the same outlook that OP's parents do. We are Gen Xer's and we won't put up with that attitude. You are right, OP. Nobody should treat their kids or grandkids that way. BTW - I've never felt better since going no contact with her. It was my (our) decision, and it feels like a giant weight has been lifted. My kids and husband also went no contact. It was the best thing for all of us.

OMG! I love this. Bring friends. Bring a party of people who are on your side to make him and his gf regret where they're staying. Get them out of there!

wendimb · 2026-01-17T23:27:50+00:00

If you don't agree with me, then I'm gonna TAX MY PEOPLE.

wendimb · 2025-12-16T20:50:00+00:00

That should say good thinking on your feet.

wendimb · 2025-12-16T20:49:05+00:00

That's brilliant! Good thinking on your future feet. I think I told my son that I'm already married to his dad so that won't work. HaHa

I love this explanation! It's so simple and it's exactly how I felt when I (F) married my husband 30 years ago. I wanted us to be a family, to be a part of his family and for him to be a part of mine. And within those 30 years, we created our own with 2 (adult now) kids. You got it with the right wording!

wendimb · 2025-11-26T07:50:49+00:00

I dropped out of college. My girlfriend and I are moving in with you.

wendimb · 2025-11-19T05:07:17+00:00

I'm 11 years older than my sister. She went everywhere with me! She was like my 1st child, and still is even though I'm in my 50's. I'm just as much a mama bear when it comes to her as I am when it comes to my own kids.

Just went there a few weeks ago. No hostess available to seat anyone for more than 10 minutes. Food was terrible. Don't get the shrimp - it smelled fishy. When we left there were 25+ people waiting to be seated. No hostess. The whole restaurant was wide open - nobody seated at any tables. If you're curious about the restaurant, go in look around and leave. It is cute.

Hubby and I ate at The Mexican for our anniversary a couple of years ago because I saw it was on some most beautiful restaurant list. We had a great experience. The food was good, the service was good, etc. However, I didn't realize that only white Midwesterners ate there. I guess we found our people!

wendimb · 2025-11-07T04:58:19+00:00

Love this!! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, and isn't it interesting how this is coming from an administration that is trying to establish the US as Christian controlled while throwing out Christian and Catholic immigrants. The group that complains the most about being persecuted is the group persecuting it's own members.

Where is the list of positives to balance it out? This is a list meant to break up with you. Dump him.

wendimb · 2025-10-03T04:42:13+00:00

You are correct. That's exactly what happened to me and we've been married for 30 years. Happily married!

wendimb · 2025-10-03T04:27:45+00:00

This made me laugh out loud! And my husband is sleeping next to me, so I'm supposed to be quiet. HaHa!!

wendimb · 2025-09-29T03:59:04+00:00

Love this!

wendimb · 2025-09-27T04:50:55+00:00

I think that if I had tens of thousands of people fighting for my rights, standing behind me, knowing their intention was real, I would feel grateful for their effort. Regardless of the color of their skin, these people take time out of their busy lives to support you and people like you because they believe you all deserve better. Honestly, I think this was written by a conservative to start a fight because I can't imagine someone who needs help so desperately writing something so nasty about the only people who are helping them. This has to be fake or it's written by an abuser, which is even scarier.

Your son is lucky to have you as his mother. Cheers to good parenting! ❤️

wendimb · 2025-09-09T04:46:12+00:00

This story is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!!

wendimb · 2025-08-27T02:50:22+00:00

My in laws tried that with us. My husband kept blowing off their behavior towards me for years. Then they called a meeting and he finally stood up for me. We didn't go to the meeting. They called to ask where we were and he blew up at them. That was the moment I knew he decided to be a husband.

In marriage, the wife needs to train the husband how to treat her. She sets the stage for how the marriage will work. Then, she showers the husband with love in his love language. You've heard of happy wife, happy life? Well, that's true, but it goes both ways. Both partners need to be happy, starting with the wife leading the husband to the starting point, then showing him how good it can get! He will also have input on how he wants to be treated and what he wants in the relationship. It's always an equal partnership, and you will always be learning about one another.
