Sorry to say this, but you need to reread the situation in Story 11. OP is not the Ahole in the slightest. When she shot him down, he did the reasonable thing and stopped giving her special treatment and just treated her like a friend. a REASONABLE boundary was made. She's the Ahole because she thinks that her actions were ok when they absolutely were not. She was expecting him to still treat her the way he originally was, and to still go after her. When that failed, she tried to sabotage a date. She's the unreasonable one, and it was her own damn fault for being so entitled and shallow to the point she got banned from the bar.

Story 11, no OP is not the jerk. He respected her boundary, bus she felt entitled to freebees AND sabotaged OP’s date. While she isn’t obligated to go out with OP, she’s the one being disrespectful here.

For the AA meetings story. Get him some noise cancelling headphones and a book. Problem solved.

[kimhohlmayer]

AA is not going to ruin her son. Let it go. It’s the best she can do and kids deal with so much more than we as adults remember or understand. I worked with teens with addiction issues so got to go to meetings with them. That child will be just fine. If in doubt, give him some hand held game with the volume off and let him play on that. Afterward talk to him about what he heard, questions he has, why OP goes, etc. kids can handle more than we think if we keep conversations about this on their level after the meetings.

The niece very clearly isn't a spoiled brat. She's being neglected/abused. The sister is the spoiled brat. Parents can't just "grieve" like that. They have to suck things up to take care of their children.

My daughter threw food behind her while we were eating at a steakhouse and it landed in an elderly lady’s hair that was behind her. I offered to pay for her food cause i felt soo bad. I really insisted but she said it was fine that my baby is learning to be a human. She hasnt thrown food since. I still feel bad about it.

[smckenzie]

AA story. I basically grew up as an NA child. As long as she brings something for the kid to play with, and there are spaces the kid can go to, like another area in the room or close by, there is zero harm. In fact, it did a lot for me. I didn’t try drinking until I was 18, and after seeing how it effected my judgement and how I could go down a dark path I didn’t try drinking again until I was 23. I never tried any drugs. And I saw how happy it made my mom and the friendships she made. I also made friends with the other kids. Their were events we could go to like camping and dances. Things that I probably wouldn’t have had the opportunity to go to because of how poor we were.

I want to have a small wedding. No Acquaintances. No Work Friends. No Extended family. No bride. No venue. Just me, alone in a room, with a Very extravagant cake

story 3,
my mom was a heavy addict who put me thru her addiction for the first 7 years of my life. I went to ALOT of her meetings.
going to AA like that with my mom ( was boring yeah) but it was so nice to hear and know i wasnt alone going through a parent’s addiction and now shes clean and everything else 8 years later, Im grateful she did take me.

[Urrarg]

Story 12. I think it'd be reasonable to ask her mom to stay somewhere else if OP is willing to pay for her mom to stay somewhere else. It's an unreasonable ask to say "hey can you spend thousands of dollars so you can be around to help me without staying here where I have the extra room?"

[queenwilco]

So let me get this straight, she set a boundary of just friends, he started treating her as just a friend instead of a romantic interest, SHE sabotages a different potential love interest that he moved on to after being told she wasn't interested the same way and complains that she's not getting love interest treatment... but op is the Jerk? Nope. He adhered to her wishes. Now if he'd have continued on treating her as a love interest after being told no he'd be the jerk as well so he can't win in this situation. Then he'd be creepy or pushy or pathetic right? They were not personal friends therefore he was doing those things because she was an interest, like everyone does with someone they like and have seen interest in. So he follows her wishes he's wrong, if he doesn't he's wrong. This tells me she knew he was interested, was using it to get stuff but when confronted with it and she reveals she doesn't feel the same so him no longer doing those things she noticed and got mad. She was taking advantage of his feelings and didn't like that him no longer perusing her means those perks stop. It's OK for her to use it to her advantage but it wasn't OK for him to use it to show interest? Like. No.

I would have had no problem accommodating any sensory issues if I was told that is what it was. Keeping the wife in the dark was an AH move

[spyderlover]

Pregnant woman across hall. Is the husband the baby’s daddy? The amount of “generosity” is suspect.

[Fir]

Zoe story NTA, he gave her special treatment because he had a crush on her. She turned him down and he accepted it you can’t get mad if she stop getting the crush treatment after all she’s just a friend. She also talked bad about OP behind his back after not getting that treatment and then just happens to ruin a date with an other girl OP brought as a date. She obviously wants to use OP with no strings attached and gets jealous when he moves on.

[mimiqmayday]

so... op refused to eat chicken when they could cut their piece and see if the meat was cooked or not?? chicken is one of the easiest things to see if it's undercooked. my parents taught me how to cook meat and although at the time i did eat meat, almost everyone learns from someone else how to cook meat

[katbryers]

I keep hearing people calling the bar story op the AH. Why? Because he respected Zoe and moved on? Why is she entitled to free stuff still? She isn’t stupid. She said no and op obliged and stopped trying to impress her. Then he starts to see a new chick and Zoe decides to tell her how her date used to like her first? Mean girl shit. Btw I am a chick myself and find it atrocious when girls want the perks when they don’t like the guy. Not cool

[Silverserri]

YES Paige would have noticed! Vegans don't eat meat. If they're on a no-meat diet for long enough, the meat will LITERALLY make them physically ill. Depending on how bad the symptoms get, Paige could have wound up hospitalized due to her body's inability to keep anything down for literally DAYS! Paige could also SUE Laura for food tampering and very conceivably win the cost of the hospital stay plus pain and suffering. What that woman did can very really be defined as deliberately poisoning Paige.

[rules]

The bar story. No way is OP the AH, he gave preferential treatment to a girl he was interested in, she rejected his advances and moved on. Of course his preferential treatment stops there, I mean Is he supposed to keep handing out free drinks to someone he’s no longer interested in or pursuing?

[micwclar]

Hats off to OP for wanting to improve themselves and work the program. The other thing to think about here are the other people attending. Do they feel OK with a child attending? Would they be OK with letting a child hear how they got to rock bottom? If OP has gotten the OK from the group, fine, but if they haven't given an OK, maybe it's time to find other arrangements for childcare.

Re: kicked over beer.
If it was in a store, the you break it, you buy it rule applies. Dad owes the beer.
