Evil Willow posted:AITA for asking my neighbour to move her craft room to a different bedroom quote:She always stops using her embroidery and sewing machines by 7pm but she's told me she can sit up until 10pm some nights finishing off orders which plays on my mind. I go to bed at 9pm and I can't sleep for hours as I lie there listening for her every move. Just knowing she's awake and walking about drives me crazy as I find it so selfish someone would buy a flat and work from home. The absolute insanity of this woman, staying up until ten at night. This is definitely something that would drive any sensible person crazy, knowing that their neighbour goes to bed as late as that!

"I told her to stick around and work a year and she might get promoted" I don't think OP is the rear end in a top hat, but I imagine this is the trap almost every receptionist falls into when they begrudgingly accept the job. The job that will end up being her doing every single administrative task in the office while getting paid the least.

I’ve known people who had to clear out their relatives houses who lived through the Great Depression and didn’t trust banks, but the money would always be in the walls or under the floorboards or something, not carried around with them.

AITA for not wanting my husband to accept a gift from his ex fiance.quote:So me and my husband have been together for over 4 years and 2 years married. Last year my husband was being a huge jerk to me and our close friends so none of us got him a Christmas present or a birthday gift this year. Even after he hot his poo poo together and treated us alot better we're still trying to see if we want to get him a gift this upcoming Christmas but considering alot of us get our Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving we decided to get him any gifts a little later and he would probably get his Christmas gifts in January or February. Recently however I saw that my husband had been talking to his ex on Facebook and she offered to get him a Christmas gift this year. I brought this up to him and told him that I wasnt comfortable with him reconnecting with his ex much less recieving gifts from her. He told me that unless me our group of friends get him something this year he's taking what he can get. I reminded him that the reason he didn't get any gifts was because he was being a jerk and he said "I know I was being a jerk last year but I'm better now and the fact that you cant acknowledge the fact that he's trying to make things better is selfish and narcissistic" He said that unless he gets a Christmas gift from me and one from our friends hes taking his exes present because he deserves something this year. So Am I the rear end in a top hat here or am I justified?

What is the thread's collective opinion on these people who have a crazy/awful parent but keep contact with them only for the 'benefit of the grandchild'? There have been a few examples posted recently. If a relative is bad enough that you don't want contact with them, why would you want your child to have contact with them? Is there something I'm missing? Disclaimer: my viewpoint may be skewed by a mother in law that any future child of mine won't know. But that's because if she's bad enough that my partner's taken the difficult choice to not have contact with her mother to protect herself, surely she's bad enough that we'd seek to protect a child from her.

Is there something I'm missing? Complete agreement here. We're no-contact with my MIL and that means no contact for anyone, kid included, and it'd be the same if it was one of my parents who lost their loving minds. Good grandparents are great. Ones who were so awful that you had to cut them off completely aren't of any benefit to the kid.

AITA for refusing to eat food my fiancé lets his kids touchquote:Exactly as stated. I live with my fiancé and his two kids (both under 7). He is gone two weeks out of every month and when he’s gone I do not serve meals “family style.” The kids get a plate pre made. When he’s here he puts all the food on the table and let’s them grab it to put it on their plates and every single item gets raw dog man handled by filthy hands. And I refuse to eat that food. I leave the table and do not return nor do I ever partake in that food. AITA? He’s made it clear he thinks I’m a psycho for not eating food his kids have touched. They do not wash their hands despite repeated attempts by me to force them to wash hands and not touch the food with their hands.
