i would like to know more about the OP's relationship. oh here's a comment she left on a post called "I (23M) use drugs and my girlfriend (25F) wants me to stop. What should I do? "

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.

One of my closer friends wanted to start baking sourdough this past November. She asked if she could have some starter (which I normally sell) and I gifted it to her. She and I talk on the phone at least weekly so I didn't have an issue not charging her anything for it. In fact, until recently, the thought didn't even cross my mind. Only last week did my husband mention that it's strange for a friend to not offer to pay for services or products normally charged for. Either way, I gave her a jar and didn't think twice. Life went on as normal.

This particular friend is known as the vampire in our group. She'll date a guy or become really good friends with someone then just take parts of their personality as her own. Most of her hobbies came about this way and it's made relationships difficult for her.

She never had a successful loaf of bread after nearly 20 tries until I came to stay for a weekend and walked her through everything meticulously using the recipe she'd been trying. Her bread is still inconsistent, which is very normal early on with sourdough. Yet she kept bringing it up as her "passion."

A few days passed and all of a sudden I see pictures of store-bought bread come up on her social media on the days I normally post promo shots or menus. I'm not the Instagram police, but I just had a gut feeling that she was trying to be competitive about it because it's happened before with her and the "original owners" of her hobbies for lack of a better phrase.

I let it play out and then I totally baited her. I told her on the phone one morning that I was waiting for my camera battery to charge because I needed to take pictures of some bread to post that day. Almost immediately, she posted a picture of "her own" bread. I called her out on it and she said it was "too pretty not to post" but it was very obviously an old photo based on the snow outside.

Within a week, she was talking about opening her own in-home bakery. Then, she asked for ALL of my recipes and I flat out told her no. I made some joke about them being my own power puff girls experiment that I've spent the last 6 years perfecting and she got so angry about it.

Some of our mutual friends reached out and said that I was too rude and that I should just give her the recipe because it's obvious that she's lonely, but I literally make money off of this. I wouldn't ask an artist to send me a commission for free because I'm curious to make my own art. Somehow this split our friend group. I'm just tired of feeling leeched and my friends that she has done the same to agree with me. AITA?

AITA for telling my "aunt" I don't care about her dead kid.

quote:

This is a little confusing so please bear with me.

I (F27) am pregnant with my first child. My husband and I just celebrated our first anniversary.

I look just like my mom. The reason for that is that it was actually her little sister who gave birth to me. I will be calling her my aunt because that is who she is to me. She was 19 and didn't know who the father was and was going to put me up for adoption. My mom, her older sister, and dad adopted me. I never knew until later in this story.

I grew up being loved by great parents and have two younger siblings who were never treated any different from myself.

I was the flower girl when my aunt got married hen she was 25. She had a baby boy at 27 and due to an infection she became infertile. My poor baby cousin passed away from SIDS.

I was 8.

She got sort of weird after that. Started trying to spend more time with me and stuff.

When I was 15 I overheard her arguing with my parents bout custody since I was her only child.

That's how I found out I was adopted.

I have a mom and dad. She is surplus to requirements.

I avoid her at all costs.

I did invite her to my wedding. Because she is my aunt. My grandparents would have been upset if I did not. My mom did tell me it was up to me and she would not pressure me.

My aunt behaved herself at my wedding.

But since she found out I was pregnant she is back in full crazy mode. She is SOOOO excited to be a grandmother. She wants to take me shopping for everything. I have everything. I would be happy if she could just be my aunt again.

I told her that and that's when she snapped: I am her daughter and if she hadn't given birth to me her insides would have handled the birth of her son better and I owe her a grandchild.

I told her I didn't give half a drat about her or her dead kid and to leave me and my family alone. I know I should have been a better person but she won't leave me alone.

She has been calling everyone in my family and blowing this up on social media.

Some of my family are calling me heartless for how I talked to her.

AITA?

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.

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 and I went on our honeymoon for two weeks and then we came back on Friday, and my step daughter came up to me and asked if we could talk, and she told me no one had ever been as considerate as I was learning how to make foods in the exact way she liked them or as patient with her “poor” emotional regulation (her words, I think she’s doing great) and she told me I overall was her favorite person in her life, so she asked if it was ok to call me “mom.”

This really, really caught me off guard and I stopped for a moment to process it, and she got embarrassed and told me she was sorry and it was stupid, but I told her it wasn’t stupid because I would love that. She got super excited and hugged me, and it was lovely.

I was telling my husband about it later and it suddenly sunk in that I had become somebody’s mom. I just stopped and I told him “I’m someone’s mom” and he asked me if I felt like I was in the delivery room, haha. I laughed at that but I got so emotionally overwhelmed I started crying. This morning she came downstairs and said “hey mom” to me and it’s gonna take some getting used to but holy poo poo, that was a great feeling. I still don’t believe I’ve earned the titles but I’ll be damned if I’m not going to try my drat best.

So it seems last month I got a husband and a daughter too. Pretty good deal if you ask me :)

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.

So the older daughter finally got a job in her field that she’s been fighting for for a few years and she wanted to have a dinner with the family. She seems like a nice girl from the times I’ve interacted with her, but her mom seems passive-aggressive and unkind.

We all got to the restaurant and sat down and it was pretty nice and civil. I was sitting next to my (step) daughter and she was a little overwhelmed because she hadn't been to the restaurant before and didn’t know what to order, so we were looking at the menu and I pointed out a type of pasta that looked similar to something we make at home that she likes. She said “thanks mom” I guess she said it loud enough that her biological mom heard because she literally stopped everything and asked “what did you just say?”

My husband and I tried to diffuse the situation, but she was very agitated by it, and actually asked why she did it. Their older daughter stepped in and asked if she could tell her mom about her new job, and that got her to move on finally. My (step) daughter didn’t say much for the rest of the evening, but on the way home she tried to apologize for “ruining the evening” to which we told her she didn’t.

Then, if this wasn’t bad enough, both she and my husband received a four paragraph long message talking about how disrespectful and egregious it was that she called another woman “mom” and how she was very “disturbed” by it. My husband is just in disbelief and feels horrible for our daughter. He went to talk to her and she didn’t say much, but she clearly thinks this is all her fault.

If anything, it’s my fault for not discussing how she should refer to me at the dinner with my husband and then discussing it with her beforehand. I just loving hate that this woman is upsetting her so much and I see why my husband divorced her.

Thank you for reading.

tl;dr: my (step) daughter started calling me “mom” and when her biological mom found out, she was furious and sent her and her dad a four paragraph long text message talking about how disrespectful that was and now our daughter feels awful.

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.

So the day after the incident, my stepdaughter came over to me and told me her older sister texted her and asked if she could read the text out loud. I just nodded and said “definitely” but on the inside my eyes rolled to the back of my head like “Jesus Christ, here we go.”

However, her sister sent her a very, very lovely and thoughtful message saying she felt bad about what happened the night before and was sorry the two of them haven’t been talking much lately and asked if she wanted to try to be sisters again. Then she said she asked her what movies she’s seen lately (and movies is her special interest so that meant a lot she asked). Not gonna lie, I was caught off guard by her sincerity and kindness. It was very very sweet.

Then later that day, I got a text message from her older sister (whom I assume got my number from younger stepdaughter) and said she wanted to get to know me better since I am legally her stepmom now and I’m “the woman her baby sister is calling “mom”” so she definitely wanted to try to get to know each other. She also mentioned that she didn’t get to celebrate her sister’s 16th birthday with her and felt that was a really big deal and asked if the three of us could get dinner and see a movie.

Tonight the three of us went out and saw a movie and got dinner by ourselves. My younger stepdaughter picked the movie and she loved it but my older stepdaughter and I didn’t get it but all that matters is that she liked it. Then we sat down and had dinner together and had a very very nice time.

Then on the way out, my younger stepdaughter asked if she could run into the store next to the restaurant to buy something really quick (in and out) so we said alright. While she was in the store, my older stepdaughter told me she wanted me to know she misjudged me and watching the two of us interact both at the dinner the other night and tonight (me going through the menu with her to find something she’d likes, me advocating for her when their mother got upset, and how she clearly feels comfortable talking around her) and that she completely understands why I’m now “mom” to her.

All in all a pretty great night. After I got home I saw she sent me a text related something we talked about, so looks like we’re gonna be talking now. Still got some stuff to work out with her biological mom but we’ll take this as a victory

Anyway yeah. I just figured I’d share something positive since there’s a lot of negativity on Reddit and with my current situation so I figured I’d share a positive update :)

I think it was called Late Night and the Devil. It was a horror movie about a late night talk show from the 70s with demon possession and stuff.

AITAH for leaving my gf cuz she said she was gonna stay at her former fwb's house?

quote:

My gf and I have been together for about a year.

Her former fwb, let's call him M, has know her for about 5 years. Based on what my gf told me, while she considers him a friend, they've never actually done anything more than meet up at a bar and hook up, literally, they've never done anything else, but my gf still considered him a friend.

M actually lives about an hour away from our town, but we frequently go to that town because it's significantly bigger and more fun. We've run into M every now and then, and every time he hits on my gf.

The other day, my gf went out with a friend, i didnt go because i had an early morning.. Later she calls me and says she won't make it back, as she drunk too much and her friend left with a guy. She runs into M, and says M is gonna let her stay the night.

I told her this made me uncomfortable and offered to pay for a hotel, or if she's willing to wait, I'd come by and pick her up.

She insisted on staying the night with M. I asked one last time to please let me pick her up. She said it's fine.

I told her "fine then, we're done." And hung up on her.

She then called me again, texted me, left voice-mail. I ignored them.

We dont live together, but the next day she came over place and yelled at me. She insisted that nothing happened or was ever gonna happen, but I told her that I'm not gonna stress over if something happened or not, so I just broke up with her so even if something did happen, it's not my business.
Simple as.

BIG KOOL TELLIN' Y'ALL TO KEEP IT TIGHT

My favorite part about this is everyone quietly breaking ranks with Four-Paragraph BadMom and coming around to OP's "actually loving your family" method.

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.
