Does the boyfriend have a friend he can give the key to? Jfc that he insists it's gotta be his parents.

That's already way past my line for breaking up with someone. The moment there's a person who doesn't belong in my house yelling at me in the middle of the night, you're loving done.

And of course, when they finally make it to your bedroom, that's when you have Toad pop out and say that you're in another apartment. Most people won't bother going through all 8 fun trap-filled worlds to get to your REAL apartment.

Mx. posted:AITA for demanding back our apartment keys, even though my BFs parents didn't overstep boundaries (again)? Why do the parents each need their own key to OP's apartment? They should have gotten one key, and that key should have been taken away after the incident. Like WTF, why did the dad call the BF's coworker before 5 in the morning? Why couldn't he just call the BF? quote:He then asked why I'm punishing his mum Because in his father's words, as a good woman, it was her responsibility to make sure her husband doesn't behave like a dick.

Sneak over to their place, replace the mom's key with a different key. When dad starts pounding on the door or blowing up phones because the key doesn't work, ask him why he wanted to go in uninvited.

AITA for not giving my friend my bread recipe?quote:I'm a sourdough baker. I've been baking sourdough for 6 years since I was a senior in college in a teeny tiny apartment, so to qualify it as a passion is nearly an understatement. Many of my friends bake, too. Now, I run an in-home bakery to make extra money on the side as a stay at home mom while my husband works and we've been able to consistently pay our bills with the money this bread brings in.

Wheee They’re honestly acting like the sky is falling because they can’t punish people for not coming in sick anymore. Fun fact, for a while by policy you were both punished for coming in with covid (safety violation) and for not coming in with covid (attendance violation.) Guess which of the two they dropped last year.

I don't understand grown rear end adults who's end goal is to get someone to love them, to have a close loving relationship with someone, and their strategy is to attack them, insult them, guilt them. It's like the little 3 year old who just wants to pet and love the kitty but will chase it and grab its tail and try to force it to be pet and gets so shocked when it bites and scratches them back. Yeah no poo poo the cat doesn't like you.

We also get so many stories that are like: "I married a man with a teenage daughter. I wanted to be the best step mom ever, I really made an effort but after the first week I didn't feel the love and bond I was hoping for. I took away her phone and grounded her and made her cancel her gymnastics so we could have more mommy-daughter time to bond. It didn't work, she screamed at me and said gymnastics was the only joy left in her life. I've been crying all week, _I_ should be the only source of joy she has in her life as her new mom. We're threatening to take away her college fund if she doesn't start bonding and loving her new mom, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm desperate and out of ideas and still don't understand why she hates me so much. Any tips on some sort of brutal punishment we could use to get the love I deserve?"

Baronjutter posted:I don't understand grown rear end adults who's end goal is to get someone to love them, to have a close loving relationship with someone, and their strategy is to attack them, insult them, guilt them. A lot of this is essentially insecurity. They can't stand the idea that someone might choose to not have a relationship with them (or not have the specific kind of relationship that they want), and seek to use whatever means necessary to ensure that they can't make that choice. They think that with the right force, the right leverage, or attacking the right weak points, they can control the relationship and dictate its terms. This can cover a lot of abuser dynamics as well as more simple manipulation.

Baronjutter posted:We also get so many stories that are like: Ok but now we have these wonderful new stories like this one... My step daughter asked if she could call me “mom” quote:Okay so I (34f) married the man of my dreams last month (44m) and he has a 16 year old daughter from his prior marriage. I’ve been in her life and she’s been in mine for 4 years and I’ve done my best to be there for her as a friend and trustworthy adult and she’s a really, really great kid. I’ve felt closer to her than I did any of my sisters and I could see she looked up to me and trusted me. One more important thing: she’s on the autism spectrum. I swear that’s relevant. My husband’s ex wife was furious my stepdaughter called me “mom” - 13 days later quote:So I recently made a post talking about how my stepdaughter asked to call me “mom” and it made me really happy. My husband has two children from his previous marriage, a 16 year old autistic daughter and a 26 year old daughter. When they divorced, his ex wife advocated for custody of the older daughter (sounds like it was because she was more independent and less work) and he got the youngest one. As a result, his younger daughter always felt kind of unloved by her mom and doesn’t go too far out of her way to talk to her. Update - 6 days later quote:Last week I made a post about how my husband and my autistic 16 year old stepdaughter went to dinner with his ex wife and their oldest daughter (26) to celebrate her getting a job she’s been chasing her whole adult life. Then my stepdaughter called me “mom” at one point at ex wife got PISSED and stopped the whole table to make a point, and the rest of the evening wasn’t great and then when we got home, both my husband and stepdaughter got a big text message from her talking about how “disrespectful” that was.

Yeah that mom can suck it - she doesn’t get to practically abandon her autistic daughter then complain later that she bonded with her stepmom more. People like that shouldn’t be allowed to have kids, let alone be near them.
