Before anyone tries to chime in with the usual ADHD excuse, as someone who was diagnosed with ADHD (by a real doctor and everything) if they cared they would develop a coping strategy to avoid being hours late to everything.


Baronjutter posted:

Yeah I just stop inviting people like that to things. They can show up on time to work, they can show up on time to doctor's appointments where they'd be out money as a no-show. Dinner? 45 min late because they "lost track of time" or "getting ready took longer than they thought" or the most common excuse of not even bothering to make an excuse. They were just gaming or scrolling or something and knew they were late but their immediate enjoyment was far more important than making their friends wait for them.

Ultimately it's just being a self centered sack of poo poo.

This. If it was important to them they'd work to fix it.

Why couldn't you say no?

OP

OP

Being told you're pretty and cheating on your husband is exactly what the #metoo movement is all about! That's why your entire family is siding with your husband and his hot new surf instructor girlfriend!

The story the OP is sharing is the version that makes her look good. I can only imagine the real shitshow that led to cheating, a divorce with less than 50/50 custody, and your entire family siding with the ex and not wanting to spend time with the OP.

Right. Wife rented an empty room in her house to sister, sister paid no rent and trashed the place badly enough that it was worth taking her to court over, wife actually kept sisters stuff around to be picked up by OP instead of dumpstering it.

Going by the story Sister is the one who's been hostile to OP and his kid. He's being told he can't even bring his kid to Thanksgiving. "rarrgh death to landlords" all you want but sister is clearly a piece of poo poo.
