Dude is lucky OP had the restraint not to murder him. If there are no marks and no witnesses, op can just clam up and get out of any assault charge. Meanwhile multiple people are aware that BIL's father intentionally poisoned OP's mom which is probably a felony given she went to the ER, which is documented. therobit fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Nov 21, 2019 |

So you really need the kid's cooperation. Also the adult in the car can legitimately get a ticket or even arrested for not restraining the child. It really comes down to what approaches the OP's parents have already tried. If they have tried every other possible avenue, then it's an ok plan. Otherwise it's overkill.

Yeah, they are supposed to be in a booster seat until they are about 8 years old, unless the kid is unusually tall/heavy. A cop scaring the kid will do absolutely nothing. Half the kids I know would be STOKED to see a REAL policeman! Even if it does scare them, it'll last a day or two, tops, when they realize the police officer can't be there every day. You know what works? Earning privileges for wearing your seat belt.

When I was a kid I refused to wear a seatbelt once so my dad just slammed the brakes and I headbutted the dashboard. Always wore it after that.

What seat they're in also doesn't matter, because regardless of what you strap them in, a six year old can easily push a button or two to get out. At that age the kids consent is 100% part of them being belted in.

AITA for putting my foot down and not allowing my mother in law to come to Christmas. my mother in law is a horrible person who loves to create drama whenever she can. last Christmas we got both of our kids different gifts as one was a 13 year old girl and one is a 10 year old boy. my mil (mother in law) decided to tell my daughter that she didn't get as many gifts as my brother and that we spent less on her. basically trying to get our daughter to believe that we loved her less. we then had to deal with a crying 13 year old on Christmas. she has also brought super expensive gifts for people specifically to upstage everyone, she will even make a point of mentioning how much it is in front of people. she called up to ask what we will be doing for Christmas as it's our turn, I mentioned that me and my wife want to have a potluck at our place. she then proceeded to explain to me how we shouldn't let some family members cook certain food because of some instances where they hosed up and ruined the dish (this is all completely false information that she is mentioning to try and start some more family drama) I then decided to put my foot down and told my wife that I do not want her at our house starting drama on Christmas and that her phone call was the last straw. wife is completely against it and thinks I'm being incredibly cruel to her mum, and doesn't want to exclude her. EDI. I have tried to talk to her and she doesn't care.

AITA for jaywalking with my 5-year-old daughter or is my husband the rear end in a top hat for saying I failed at "my only job" (parenting) My husband and our two kids were playing at at a park across the street from a library. We were leaving and crossing the street to head to our car. The street is a one way street and there is a crosswalk in the middle. This is not a major city or anything. We are a university town with 95 thousand while school is in session, and traffic was light at this time. My 5-year-old daughter and I were crossing the street together and we were on the sidewalk right across from our car. Rather than walk to the cross walk, I instructed my daughter to visually assess for cars and since there were none in sight, we crossed quickly. This made my husband livid. He said I was endangering our daughter by failing to teach her to go to the crosswalk. He said teaching her to cross the street correctly is something I should be able to do because teaching the kids is my "only job" and I failed. I explained that I instructed our daughter to visually assess for danger, looking both ways, before crossing and I thought this was adequate for this situation. He said it wasn't and that I didn't know how to teach her because I "grew up playing in junkyards;" (I grew up very poor and did in fact play in a junkyard as a child.) He then said I didn't know how to cross the street correctly because no one cared enough to teach me how. And then he said literally every mother would agree with him that I was incompetent and reckless for crossing the street this way. He said all of this in front of our children who are 5 and 2. I guess I'm just wondering if what he said was true and necessary because I'm an rear end in a top hat for jaywalking or if it crossed a line. Insight appreciated.

WIBTA if I mailed HR about my girlfriend sleeping with her mentor? My (M25) girlfriend (F24) of 5 years has been at her current job for about 5 months. When she joined she was assigned a mentor. They got rather close because she had to report to him and have all her work verified by him during her probationary period. I recently found out that they slept together at least once when she went on a "business trip". While I am definitely ending things with her, her company has a strict non fraternization policy, (I know this because someone higher up was fired in similar circumstances a while ago) so WIBTA if I sent a mail to her HR notifying them of what transpired?

Counterpoint: a 2 and 6-year-old probably won't learn the nuance of "this is okay this particular one-way street at this time of day" and would do better when there are concrete cues like a painted crosswalk and walk light, and line of parked vehicles. Husband is wrong to blow up but teach your kids how to cross at crosswalks.

You shouldn't be taught to blindly trust in the safety of crosswalks. People get run over that way too when some driver slams on the gas to make the light. Wherever you cross, look for oncoming traffic.

I was terminated from employment for sleeping on the job, then was diagnosed with sleep apnea and am currently being treated. I would like to reapply for my old position as my termination was not based on previous poor performance. However, I can't get a response from the company. What can I do?quote:I have been assured from my former supervisor that he really enjoyed my work and was happy with my performance. He noticed me sleeping and went to HR to see if there was something he could do to advocate for a later start time to the day or some way to accommodate me. However, upon being informed, HR terminated my employment. I have since been diagnosed with a rapid onset of sleep apnea. While I am heavy, the weight gain was attributed to the sleep apnea and exacerbated symptoms. I am now being treated for the condition and would like to reapply for my original position. However, I have not received a clear response from the company regarding the position or even if it is available still. Do I have any legal action here? Do I have a right to my former position now the the cause of my termination has been medically addressed? I am a veteran and am working on getting the sleep apnea associated my PTSD, as my doctor has stated it is very likely linked. I work in California. San Diego County, to be specific. Please help.

The cops couldn't scare my son gay with all the stories they told about what happens to heteros in lock up. I don't see why you'd expect it to work the opposite way, or why you would want to in the first place.

I'll also advocate for using the crosswalk because not 2 weeks ago when I was headed into work, a woman was crossing but not in the crosswalk (she was maybe 15 feet to the side) and she got clipped by a dude turning left who didn't see her. Crosswalks are there for a reason!

Railing Kill posted:YTA. Like, unless she had a reason to feel unsafe with the guy, this could have easily been dealt with in the first five minutes of the drive by being open and honest like a goddamn adult. She's not as bad as the groom who was way out of line in the first place, but his stupidity could have been mitigated by a simple conversation rather than stranding this dude. This is a really bad post and you should feel bad. She's a 24 year old woman with a long-term boyfriend who was being unknowingly setup with some dude she barely knew in his 30s with PTSD who she already felt weird about even before the bride told her about her idiot rear end in a top hat husband's very creepy arrangement. Bringing home some strange random dude much older than her who thinks he's getting in her pants is a great way to get sexually assaulted or far worse. The adult thing to do in her situation was to leave ASAP and get the hell out of there to protect herself. Cough Drop The Beat fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Nov 21, 2019 |

spacetoaster posted:Out of curiosity what does PTSD have to do with the situation? Are we supposed to avoid women/men who suffer from it? In this scenario, OP was demonstrably uneasy around this dude with serious issues in his life suffering from PTSD, long before she learned of dumbshit groom's weirdo plan to setup his struggling buddy. She brought up the PTSD angle to illustrate how she felt unsafe. The end. I don't know why you're being so critical of this. There's nothing more to look into with OP's words or my words. People suffering from PTSD are absolutely 100% allowed to have friendships and romantic relationships, but other people are equally allowed to avoid them if it's not what they desire in their lives... especially when they're already in a successful relationship with their partner of 4 years.

Wherever you cross, look for oncoming traffic. Yeah, seriously. I was almost run over in a crosswalk a couple weeks back by a driver in a SUV who wasn't paying attention in the least. The only reason I'm alive/not horribly injured is because I was paying attention, unlike the driver. Always be fully aware while crossing the street regardless of the circumstances, jaywalking or not. Where you cross the street is largely irrelevant as long as it's safe.
