AITA for not taking neighbour's parcel?

I (33M) have one child (5M), for whom I share custody with my ex. I currently live in a 2-bed rental on a quiet street with a row of only 5 other houses along our road. I live on the end of the row. About 6 months ago, I took in a package delivered for the house at the other end of the row. The package was a heavy box, containing a bag of dog food. Later that evening, the neighbour (38F) came to pick it up. I know she lives alone and offered to carry it for her. She accepted the offer and thanked me, and as I carried it to hers she kept commenting on the fact that I was being a 'gentleman' and it was good to see a 'big strong man' in action. Bit weird but whatever - I'm not that big/strong, although I do go to the gym a few times a week to keep myself in shape. When I got it to hers, she insisted I come in for a glass of water and kept me there for an hour, just chattering on. The same delivery has come (to me) every month since then. In the evening, she comes to collect, and I carry it over to hers. Each time, she will try to chatter away at me (inside the house, if she can coax me in; or on the doorstep if I can find an excuse not to go in). Then last month, when she came to collect the package, my son was home with me. I couldn’t take the box up to her as I was making his dinner. She complained that it was too heavy to carry herself and that it would only take a few minutes. I refused, but offered to bring it up later that evening. She pouted and huffed and went home. Half hour later she posted a note through the door with her mobile number on it and asked me to message when I could bring it. I had to feed my son, give him his bath, play with him, put him to bed… Once I’d done all that, I finally messaged her. She didn’t reply until the next day, telling me she had been tired and fallen asleep. Then a few hours later she sent through a long, rambling TIRADE. She told me I should have helped, that I was selfish, that I obviously hadn’t wanted to help her as I could have asked her to stay with my son while I carried it (fair point, though it just didn’t occur to me in that moment), and that if I really wanted to help her I would have messaged her earlier. This was all sprinkled with some very colourful language. I was in complete shock. I apologised and said I would bring it to her that evening, which I then did. Last week, the day came again for that parcel to arrive. And this time I refused to take it. She came banging on the door later in the evening and screamed at me for not taking the package, that she now had to find a way to get it from the company depot and that it was going to cost her a fortune. Now everyone along the street knows about it. Another neighbour (58M) has made it clear that he thinks I’m the AH and has threatened to complain to my landlord about my “un-neighbourly behaviour”. I really don’t think I’m in the wrong here. AITA?

AITA for telling my girlfriend due to her new religion, I don’t know if I want to be with her.

Me and my girlfriend have been together for 3 years now. I absolutely love her. When we met, we both were very spiritual. We had the same views and understandings on a lot of things, including and importantly, religion. I spent my whole life being raised religious and I always told myself that I wouldn’t raise my kids religious. I also knew that I wanted to be with someone who had the same views. About 3/4 months ago, she expressed her interest in Islam. Now, she is practicing the religion. I have bought her things and tried to support her as much as possible, but sometimes it feels I’m dating someone new. I hate the idea of organized religion and I hate hearing about it. I want to stay with her and support her through this, but it’s been very hard because initially when searching for someone to date, I made sure whoever I ended up with wasn’t religious and now I feel bad that she feels unsupported even though I’m trying my best to. I know a lot of people ask about religion in the beginning to avoid dating someone that could possibly make them uncomfortable, i.e a Christian wouldn’t prefer to date an Atheist. But, is it wrong if we’ve already established 3 years of a relationship?

AITA for not naming my second son after my husband's late half sister when we named our first son after his late brother?

My husband lost his younger brother in an accident as a child. My husband was 7 and his brother was 6. My husband felt strongly about honoring his brother with our first son's name. So we did it in a less direct way. My husband called his brother AJ and he was the only person to do so. The rest of the family and friends used his brother's full first name or a shortened version of the full name. His middle name had a J so we chose a J middle name from our list too and everyone calls our oldest AJ. I gave birth to our second son recently and we went with another name off our list. This was taken badly by his mom and stepdad and some of his maternal family. When my husband was a teenager his mom had another child, his half sister, and she died from a childhood cancer at the age of 3. Her name was a unisex name and they were expecting us to use it for baby number two regardless of the sex of our second child. When we didn't it started a fight. My husband's mom and stepdad were mad at him for honoring one lost sibling and not the other. His mom was very upset about it. Eventually their anger turned to me because they said I knew. My husband defended me and told them it was wrong to pressure me and expect me to make that decision and force it on him. His dad also stepped in and defended us. The maternal relatives fighting it were quick to say this had nothing to do with him because she wasn't his child and saying he'd feel the same way in my husband's mom's shoes. The whole thing ended with everyone else leaving our house but his mom keeps insisting we were wrong and how it shows a favoritism between the two siblings he lost. She told him it made her feel like his full brother was more important to him than his half sister. I can see how much she's hurting but my husband only felt the wish to honor his brother, so we did. We didn't even use the exact same name. That didn't matter to his mom or the others complaining.

AITA for refusing to give up my dorm bed to my roommate’s homeless boyfriend?

I (19F) am in my second year of college and share a dorm room with another girl (also 19F). We get along okay, not super close. About a week into the semester, she asked if her boyfriend (20M) could crash with us for “a few nights” because he had a falling out with his parents and “had nowhere to go.” I said sure, thinking it was temporary. Fast forward three weeks, he's literally still here. He sleeps in her bed, uses our stuff, eats my snacks, and hasn’t once said thank you. He’s not even a student. I finally told her he needs to go or at least stay somewhere else a few nights a week because I don’t feel comfortable. She got mad and said I was “lucky to have a home to go back to” and accused me of being heartless. She then asked *me* to sleep on the floor a few nights so he could “stretch out.” I laughed and said absolutely not. Now she’s giving me the cold shoulder and some of our floormates think I’m being selfish. AITA for not letting my roommate’s homeless boyfriend live with us or take my bed?

AITA for choosing not to continue working with my cleaning lady after she took advantage of me?

I have a cleaning lady who comes to my home once a week. She has three kids back in her home country, and since labor is relatively cheap where I live, I decided to pay her double the average rate. I get paid well, so it wasn’t a big deal for me, and I felt good about helping her. For Christmas, I gave her extra cash as a gift to help with presents for her kids, and she was very grateful. When I was traveling to the U.S., I told her that if she needed anything that wasn’t available here, she could let me know. At first, she said she didn’t need anything, but once I was there, she asked for sneakers for her kids and foundation makeup for herself. I thought it was a bit much, but since it was Christmas, I decided to get them for her. Then she asked if I could buy an iPad for her kids. That’s when I started feeling uncomfortable. I told her I couldn’t do that. Later, while she was still with her kids, she messaged me saying she didn’t have enough money for her trip back and asked if I could send some. It wasn’t a huge amount, but it made me feel frustrated. I ended up sending it, but now I’ve decided to stop working with her. I know I should have set better boundaries from the start, but I feel taken advantage of. Some of my friends say it’s entirely my fault for being too generous, while others say it’s a mix of both of our faults. I just feel like not everyone would have pushed as much as she did and that this was wrong of her to do. What do others think? I don’t feel comfortable working with her anymore and chose to work with someone else. I wonder if this makes me an A and whether I should tell her the reason why I feel this way or just let it go.

AITA for refusing to move back in with my mom?

I (21F) moved out of my mom’s (44F) house a few months after I turned 18. I have worked full time the entire time since moving out to support myself, with minimal financial assistance from my parents (Mom helped out with half of my insurance payments for the first two years, I’ve always paid rent on my own and currently pay everything on my own.). My mom owns a house with her now ex-partner/my step dad. I love them both. A bit over a year ago, my mom came out as polyamorous. There was no cheating, and her and my step dad spent a year trying to make things work. They were going to therapy and taking things slowly, but ultimately they decided to call it quits a few months ago. Now my step dad wants to sell the house and my mom does not. My mom messaged me a few weeks ago asking if I would be interested in moving back in with her if I could have the master bedroom and pay the same rent I do at my current place (about $1000 per month.) I flat out told her no. I told her it’s going to cause my commute to work to be 2-4 times longer, take me 45 minutes away from my partner, prevent me from having the lifestyle I want, not save me any money, and cause me stress due to living in the same house as my immediate family when I’m a young adult with a life. I apologized but explained to her clearly that it’s just not in the cards. She acted like she understood that. Today, she sent me another text putting on way more pressure. She basically told me flat out if I don’t move back in she’s gonna have to sell the house. So now I feel like it’s my fault if she has to sell the house. She also said that we would have to get an ADDITIONAL roommate on top of me living with my mom and younger sibling. I’m just so frustrated. I don’t want to live with the guilt of feeling like it’s my fault if she loses the house, but her losing the house has absolutely nothing to do with me. At the same time, she’s my mom, and I don’t want to leave her high and dry. Would I be the asshole if I flat out refuse to help her with this? I just don’t want to compromise the life I’ve built for myself over something I did absolutely nothing to cause

AITA for not getting my sister something while she was on her period, and insulting her?

My (19m) gf (19f) has cancer. She's been really sensitive to the chemo and her meds so she is really weak, but sometimes she's also sore so she hasn't been sleeping much. This has been a big issue for her as it just makes the chemo and recovery worse. She had a chemo session on Friday early in the morning and she came over to my place so we could hang out and I could take care of her. She ended up passing out on me and before she fell asleep was telling me about how she was feeling bad overall. I was happy she was resting and didn't want to wake her up. My sister (16f) was on her period She texted me to ger some water. Our other sister (14f) was at the store and would be home in like 5 minutes. Because my gf was asleep on me I didn't want to wake her up I told her to wait. She said she didn't want to wait and told me to ger her water. I told her no, and explained that my gf was asleep and that I wasn't going to wake her up. We went back and forth untill my sister called me a lazy fucking bitch. I told her that I wasn't going to wake her up to get fucking water, I'm going to care for my gf. She then said that she didn't care abt my stupid gf. I told her to fuck off, and I called her a bitch. (that was all over text btw) She told me I was a dick, and has ignored me any time I've tried speaking to her and I talked about this with our other sister who says I over-reacted and that I should apologize and that I should have just gotten her water. I'm starting to feel that I over-reacted and I also believe that maybe I should have gotten her the water,

AITA for Telling My Sister's Husband About Her Affair?

I (29F) recently discovered something that has completely torn my family apart. My sister, “Emma” (32F), has been married to her husband, “Tom” (34M), for five years. They have two kids together, and from the outside, their marriage looked perfect. Tom is a great guy—kind, hardworking, and an amazing father. A few weeks ago, Emma and I went out for drinks, and after a few too many cocktails, she let it slip that she’s been seeing someone else for months. She told me it was "just harmless fun" and swore it wasn’t serious. She begged me not to tell anyone, especially Tom, because she claimed it would "ruin everything." I was stunned. I couldn’t believe my sister would do this. I didn’t confront her that night because I was too shocked, but over the next few days, the guilt started eating at me. I know how much Tom loves her, and I felt like he deserved to know the truth. So, I made the tough decision to tell him. I reached out and asked to meet up, and when we did, I told him everything Emma had told me. He was devastated. He thanked me for being honest but said he needed some time to process it all. When Emma found out I told him, she absolutely lost it. She screamed at me, calling me a backstabber and saying I’ve ruined her life. My parents are furious with me too, claiming I’ve "destroyed" our family and that it wasn’t my place to interfere in Emma’s marriage. They’re all saying I’m the a**hole for betraying her trust. But I couldn’t just sit back and watch Tom live a lie. I feel terrible for the pain this has caused, but I also feel like I did the right thing by being honest.

AITA for refusing to invite any of my parent's exes to my wedding even if that means none of my half siblings will come?

My parents divorced many years ago. They have me (27m) and my sister (29f) together. After their divorce they both had a few on and off again relationships. My mom has 2 exes and 5 kids between them and her on and off thing with them went right up until she started dating the brother to one of them. My dad has 3 exes and 8 kids between them. It's been longer since he had an actual relationship with them. I do not have a relationship with any of the exes involved. They are not third, fourth, fifth parents to me or anything close. I can't say I have much of a relationship with my half siblings either other than seeing them on occasion. But they want their other parents invited to my wedding or they won't come and my mom and dad think this is a great idea. They talk about it being one big family anyway. But it isn't. At least not to me it isn't. My sister feels the same but it's not her wedding either. I said there are no exes invited to the wedding and all complaints from my half siblings went to the shared parent and both my parents are saying it's groomzilla behavior and weddings are meant to be about bringing families together. When I said my wedding is for us and our families and their exes are not part of it they pointed out my half siblings are and none will come without an invite to their other parent. I said that is for my half siblings to decide and I will accept their answers. AITA?

AITAH for Exposing My Best Friend’s Boyfriend for Cheating with Another Friend of Ours?

A few nights ago, I went out to eat alone. Wasn’t planning on anything dramatic, just wanted some good food and a quiet night. But then I saw them. At first, I didn’t even register it, just two people having dinner. But then I realized it was my best friends boyfriend (31M) and another friend of ours (29F). They were sitting quite far, holding hands across the table, giggling like a couple. My stomach dropped. I thought, no way, I’m seeing this wrong. But then they kissed. They kissed. I don’t know what came over me, but my first instinct was to grab my phone and record. I got the whole thing—hand holding, whispering, the kiss, them getting up and leaving together. My heart was pounding. The second they walked out, I called my best friend (30F). She picked up and I just blurted it out. Me: “I need to tell you something and it’s bad.” Her: “What?? What’s going on?” Me: “Your boyfriend is cheating on you. I just saw him with [friend’s name] at [restaurant name]. I have a video.” She didn’t believe me at first. She kept saying “No. No, you have to be wrong.” So I sent her the video. A few seconds later, she gasped. Then silence. Then crying. Then she hung up. That night she confronted him. He tried to deny it at first, but once she told him about the video, he went silent. She broke up with him on the spot. She also texted the other girl, who apparently tried to play dumb until she realized there was no way out of it. Now, our whole friend group is a mess. Some people are on my side, saying I did the right thing. But others think I should’ve just told her without sending the video because it was too much. And obviously, the cheaters are pissed at me, saying I ruined their lives. I don’t know. Should I have kept quiet? Should I have handled it differently? All I know is my best friend deserved the truth.

AITA for not eating something I have a minor allergy to?

When I was living in the barracks away from home and couldn't afford to go home for a holiday, I went with a friend to their family who lived relatively close. His family put out a big spread with all sorts of food. His grandma apparently always makes this fruit salad that everyone tells her is so great. It's just a fucking fruit salad with whipped cream on it. But, there were different types of melon in it. I have a minor allergy to melon. It won't kill me, but it makes my throat and ears annoyingly itchy for a day or so. She offered me the fruit salad which I politely declined and told her I was allergic. She got very offended and insisted that no one is allergic to melon and I should try it. Again, I politely declined. My friend took me aside later and told me I had upset granny and was selfish for not eating the fruit salad despite my allergy since it wouldn't kill me. Afterwards, he told me he wouldn't be bringing me to any family functions ever again.

WIBTA if I charged my friend for her daughter ruining my furniture?

My friend called me last night and asked if I could babysit her daughter while she went to 8pm showing of a movie. I said okay since our daughters miss each other. Around 10:30pm my friend still wasn’t back from the movie theater so I called my sister who went to the movie theater with our friend. My sister told me that our friend had no intention of coming to pick up her daughter after the movie (wtf!). My sister offers to come pick up our friend’s daughter and showed up to get her. When it’s time for my friend’s daughter to leave she starts crying saying she wants to stay so I agree and my sister leaves my house. Now comes morning and my friend still hasn’t said anything about her daughter or when she’s coming to pick her up. So I continue on with my day and make the girls breakfast. After breakfast the girls start playing and my friend’s daughter knocks over bubbles on my tv stand and says nothing about it. About an hour later I see the bubble solution all over my wooden tv stand and immediately start cleaning but the water damage is already done. I’m upset because I JUST bought this tv stand in March as a birthday present to myself and now it’s ruined plus it was expensive. I feel like my friend should be paying for any repairs. Also I *STILL* have her daughter with me so I feel like she definitely owes me.

AITAH for telling my MIL I’ll handle my husband’s birthday instead of her?

My husband’s birthday was coming up, and I wanted to plan something small but meaningful. Just a nice dinner, a few close friends, something he’d actually enjoy. We’ve had a rough year, so I figured… let me do something that makes him feel special. You know? As his wife. Basic stuff. But then… his mom. She finds out I’m planning it, and boom instant drama. She starts telling me what kind of food to serve, who she wants to invite, what music to play, even what time it should start. Like it’s her event. Like I’m just the assistant. I kept my cool at first. I really did. I said, “Hey, I appreciate your help, but I’d really like to do this one myself.” Simple. Direct. Respectful. And then she snaps. Starts going on about how she’s known him longer, how she’s always organized his birthdays, how I’m “just trying to take over.” Just. Trying. To. Take. Over. I told her (probably not as gently as I should’ve, I’ll admit), “No, I’m not trying to take over. I’m his wife. I should be the one planning this. It’s not about control. It’s about making him feel loved by me.” She goes silent. Walks out of the room. Doesn’t speak to me for two days. And here’s the kicker my husband? He hates being in the middle. So he just shrugs and goes, “Maybe you both can do it together?” TOGETHER? I love the man, but no. I’m not co hosting his birthday with his mom like I’m in some weird reality show. That’s not normal, right? Now the family’s whispering. Apparently I “disrespected her” and “forgot my place.” Her place?? What about my place? I wanted to do something kind. I wanted to show up for my husband in the way I know how. I didn’t yell. I didn’t cuss. I just said I’d rather handle the birthday myself. But now I feel like the villain.

AITA for refusing to make a wedding gift for someone who once humiliated me in front of a client?

A few years ago, I was just getting started as a personal gift curator, working hard to build a reputation with ultra-selective clients. One of the first big breaks I got was from a close college friend, *Avery*. She referred me to her fiancé's tech startup CEO, and the job was to create a custom engagement gift for his daughter. I poured everything into it, commissioned a bespoke inkwell from Kyoto, paired it with a handwritten letter from a calligrapher in Florence, and wrapped it all in a hand, dyed silk box from a 4th generation artisan family in India. The CEO loved it. So did his daughter. I thought I was finally being seen for what I could do. Then I found out Avery told them *she* designed the gift. She said it offhandedly at a party we both attended, "Oh, I just gave the idea to GoldSealPeak. You know how she is, great at logistics, not much of a creative." Everyone laughed, including the CEO. He never hired me again. I was devastated. It wasn’t just the work being taken from me; it was the humiliation, the erasure, in front of people whose respect I had earned. I never confronted her. I just... backed away and poured myself into work. Fast forward to now: Avery is getting married. She reached out and asked if I’d “do my magic” and curate something unforgettable for her new husband. I said no. I told her, kindly, calmly, that I wished her well, but I no longer felt comfortable collaborating after how things played out with the CEO. I said it with grace. I even offered her a list of other luxury gift services. She flipped. Said I was holding a grudge, that I was being unprofessional, that it was *just a joke back then*. Her bridesmaids are now commenting things like “You’ll regret being this bitter,” and “You’re ruining your reputation.” But here’s the thing: I’m *not* bitter. I'm hurt. I’ve done a lot of healing since then. I’ve built a client list from scratch. I've sent gifts to the mountain, top proposals, hospital rooms, and retirements filled with tears and champagne. I’m proud of who I’ve become. But I can’t forget what it felt like to watch someone laugh as they took credit for the heart I put into something so meaningful. And I won’t put myself back into that dynamic, no matter how pretty the packaging.

AITAH for not letting my brother meet my baby after what he did to my dog?

I (33M) live with my husband (31M) and our 7-month-old daughter. We adopted her last year after a long, difficult process, and she’s the center of our world now. Before becoming parents, we had a rescue dog named Luna. She was a calm, sweet pit-lab mix who’d been through a lot before we adopted her. She was my emotional support during some really dark years, and we loved her deeply. A few months ago, my younger brother (26M) came to stay with us while looking for work. When my husband and I had to fly out for a weekend wedding, we asked him to house-sit and take care of Luna. I left a detailed list of instructions: no off-leash walks, no loud music, no weed inside (Luna had noise and smell sensitivities). He nodded along and said he had it. We came back Sunday night and Luna was gone. Turns out he took her to the park, let her off the leash while blasting music and high as hell. She bolted. Two days later, we got the call, she’d been hit by a car. Killed instantly. I confronted my brother and he barely reacted. Just said something like, “I didn’t think she’d run off, my bad.” No real remorse. Since then, he’s been trying to come visit and meet our baby. But I can’t do it. I told him I don’t trust him, and if he couldn’t respect basic instructions about Luna, there’s no way I’m putting him near our daughter. My mom says I’m overreacting, holding a grudge, and “it’s just a dog.” But Luna wasn’t just a dog. She was family.

AITAH for refusing to lend my coworker my car after she called me irresponsible for driving it?

I (28M) work at a mid-sized office and have a pretty noticeable car: a bright orange 20-year-old Honda Civic that I’ve lovingly fixed up over the years. It’s loud, it’s old, but it runs great, and I take pride in it. My coworkers often poke fun at it, calling it a “go-kart” or a “clown car.” I laugh it off—because honestly, I love my car. Recently, one of my coworkers, *Sarah* (35F), has been particularly vocal about it. Last week, she made a snide comment in the break room, saying: *“I can’t believe you actually drive that thing. It’s so irresponsible. What if it breaks down and causes an accident?”* I rolled my eyes and said my car is perfectly safe. Fast forward to yesterday. Sarah came to my desk, visibly stressed. Apparently, her car broke down, and she needed a vehicle to pick up her kids from school. She asked, *“Could I borrow your car for the afternoon? Just a couple of hours, I promise.”* I was stunned. I reminded her of her “irresponsible” comment and said: *“If my car isn’t safe enough for me, I don’t think it’s safe enough for you or your kids.”* She looked embarrassed and said she “didn’t mean it that way,” but I stuck to my no. I don’t lend my car to anyone, especially after her constant judgment. She ended up scrambling for a ride from another coworker, but now she’s giving me the cold shoulder and telling others that I’m “petty” for holding a grudge. Some of my coworkers are saying I should’ve just let her borrow the car despite everything, but others think she had it coming. Now I’m wondering—was I too harsh? Should I have just let her borrow the car despite everything?

AITA for pulling our neighbors dog away from our baby when it wasn't listening to the owner?

My husband and I live in a farming area and have an <1 year old and a 5yr old German shepherd. Neighbors got 2 golden retriever puppies shortly after they moved in a year or so ago. They didn't really train them and when the dogs would see us they would run over and jump up on us, not listen when being called back, etc. It wasn't unusual to see our neighbors on our porch or in our yard trying to get them. Overall though we didn't really have an issue with it as our dogs would play together. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, my husband was out with the baby in the driveway and the puppies run over, start getting into the babies face and won't listen when being called to get away. The owner doesn't come over to get them just stands in their yard yelling. Our baby starts crying bc they won't get out of it's face, so my husband grabs the dog by the collar and quickly pulls it away causing the collar to come off(it's the kind of collar where you feed it through the square and the tension holds it, no buckle or belt type closure). He gets the dog back to our neighbors house, goes back and hands them the collar while holding the still crying baby. Our neighbor freaks out and starts yelling at him "what did you do to my dog?" No question about if the baby was ok or what happened. A few days after we're out back and our neighbor's dad is mowing their lawn(husband is on vacation, wife is home) walks over with and attitude asking why we're mistreating their dog. We said we've never and he says they have us on their Ring. We repeat that we never have and try to explain what happened the other day. he cuts in "they're not going to hurt the baby" I said "I know that, but my baby doesn't know that!" and he replied "they're just puppies, they don't know better"..."let's keep the dogs in their own yards from now on" We said fine and he walked away. I sent a text to our neighbor telling him about the interaction with his dad, the accusations and sorry if our dog has ever been a nuisance in their yard(ours will wander over on occasion but comes back when called and listens if we say "stay"or "leave it"). He texts back that no one ever said anything about abuse and they were upset bc of how forcefully my husband pulled on the collar, they were just puppies and they would never treat our dog that way. Their dogs have come over to our yard a few times since but we just ignore them and go inside while they yell from their yard at the dogs to come back. Yesterday was the first time ours has wandered over and the husband yelled at us from his porch to come get our dog! They've still never asked if our kid was ok, it's been all about their puppy.

AITA? Did I mock my sister’s religion?

My sister is Christian and I’m not. We were out to lunch with her family. She was saying my button up blouse that showed no cleavage was too low cut and I was flashing the whole restaurant (which I was not) . I made a comment trying to say she was a prude and said, “calm down Christian Mary”. Fast fwd a couple of days she told me her kids were offended by this because I was mocking their religion. I didn’t even remember saying this, but I probably did. My sister said she couldn’t even remember the convo but it obviously upset her kids and I need to apologize and never wear a low cut shirt again because they’re offended by it. Am I the asshole? Mind you, my sister and her husband frequently say God da**it when upset. Her kids watch the simpsons. I plan on apologizing, but how do we go forward because she’s acting like if I slip up again I’m never gonna see her kids? I just feel like I already walk on egg shells around them and it’s hard to do. How do I talk to her about this because we both get worked up?
