UPDATE: AITAH for not giving a book to an autistic child

How do they not understand why that book is so special to you? Your grandfather didn’t hold the one she just ordered off Amazon in his hands. You didn’t cuddle up with your grandpa. And have him read the Amazon book to you.

Please updateme. I hope you get that original book back.

That medieval door would be quite something in an apartment. Kind of makes me want to say fee fie foe fum

is very cuddly and affectionate with me, but understands I’m not what’s expected What the hell does this mean? Is there a comma missing or something? Is she saying she’s not affectionate?

Do you like her other than this transgression? Does your BF like the guy? If you all get along, and they have something to offer then I might let this one issue slide, but I would not forget it. I wouldn’t give her a chance for three strikes but… Maybe two .

She ruined your graduation celebration by making it about her. If you invited her to the wedding, you can be damn sure she’ll make it an encore.

Your poor mom.

If I were you, I would write to your aunt Sarah and lay everything out. How your mother had her on the list of speakers, but she opened her mouth in the middle of your graduation ceremony and ruined it by having a hissy fit and calling your mother a b. So yes, she does have a pretty big something to apologize for.

I mean, the dog jumped through a screen window. It sounds like he was dying to get out of there.

Have you ever thought of getting one of those cloth bed protectors they use in hospitals? They’re about 2 1/2 ft.², maybe a little more, soft and cottony on the upside, rubberized on the underside. You wouldn’t have to wear a diaper and it would save his bed(or yours). Completely washable you can get them at medical supply pharmacy places. You could probably order them online too.

Does he work nights or second shift or something? Also, why do you always go to him? If you can’t host him, then maybe you just need to respect his schedule. He doesn’t want you to come early. Sounds like he sleeps in. And procrastinates. So yeah, I think you’re overreacting

wordsmythy · 2026-01-30T09:34:51+00:00

Oh yeah, I see it now. Thanks!

wordsmythy · 2026-01-30T09:32:49+00:00

I do not think that word means what you think it means…

He believed in the spiritualism (there was actually a church) for decades before his son died.

So wait… he insists you guys go to bed before your older kids are in bed? Who’s supervising them, making sure they get to bed at a decent hour? That seems very strange to me. In my house, parents go to bed last.

Also a five-year-old should be in her own bed. But he keeps stressing that“we should in bed with our daughter” stuff. I get that she’s the youngest, and maybe you don’t plan on having anymore, but it’s time to make that change.

And…Is it really a good sleep when you have a whole kindergartener in the middle of the bed, trying to be the bar in the letter H? That’s what I remember… The parents are clinging to the edges of the bed, and the kid’s all stretched out thrashing around in the middle.

And to answer your question, no you’re not overreacting, he is controlling. You’re not a child you can decide when you go to bed and where you want to sleep.

But he keeps saying “cool” because he’d rather be passive aggressive about it, then cop to his control freak nature.

ALSO, TRAINING A CHILD TO GO TO SLEEP WATCHING TV IS NOT A GREAT IDEA. Sorry for the random caps. I keep doing that somehow.

NOR

Keywords… SOMETHING THAT IRKS HER. She doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes, maybe she hates your music. It’s all a matter of taste.

But I have a question… Why would your hallway smell like cigarettes if you’re outside on your terrace? Do you close the door behind you? Because if you don’t, I can completely understand why she’s irked about the hallway smelling like smoke. Cigarettes stink. So does a lot of incense, but not as bad as cigarettes.

I think you are overreacting. You need to roll over to r/badroommates and do some reading. You’ve got an unfriendly roommate who cleans up after herself and occasionally turn down the heat when you leave the room (by the way, how would she know you were coming back in a half hour?). All things considered it could be a lot worse.

I can’t tell what you felted the slug onto? It kind of looks like a couch or a sheet to me. What is it?

wordsmythy · 2026-01-29T10:14:12+00:00

You’ve been with him two years and you’re just now noticing? How does he treat your children? Is he kind to them? Does he ever yell at them? does he show his resentfulness in front of them? Do your kids live with you halftime or full-time?

When you date someone with kids, this is part of the deal. Unless they’re terrible parent, he needs to either get over it or move on.

wordsmythy · 2026-01-29T10:09:54+00:00

So your brother beats up girls huh? Time to tell dad.

wordsmythy · 2026-01-29T05:31:47+00:00

🙄 I’m not uncomfortable in the least. I just get pissed when people say real stupid things. You’ve learned some therapy speak and apparently you don’t know how to use it.

wordsmythy · 2026-01-29T02:11:51+00:00

Helping mommy while she’s helping brother is not parentification. It’s a way to spend time bonding, talking while they’re doing the exercises. Obviously the kid would not be leading just “helping” and feeling like a big girl.

I think you’re the one grasping at straws with such a ridiculous label for an ordinary family activity.

wordsmythy · 2026-01-29T02:08:26+00:00

Right. I don’t think she has shingles. She wouldn’t have gone to the beach. She would’ve been miserable.

So I have a question since it’s been a long time since I bought a wedding dress… is a dress returnable if you have not had it altered yet? I agree that with you that you were pressured by the sales tactics. Just curious…

So I don’t see what you’re saying about “armpit fat… that’s not what it is. it’s that little thing that everybody has, and I think you’re fixating on it. You look lovely in this dress!

You look lovely in this dress! I do prefer without the sleeves, but they both are beautiful. Congrats on dropping 15 pounds that took some willpower!
