I flipping hate it when people say "Well you should have just told them to stop" because the first 10 times wasn't enough, right?

Story 5: “Ruined our vacation” means “dashed our hopes for a free babysitter.”

[Clyde-S-Wilcox]

Story 1: Never the AH for self defense, and that's what this was.

[Thisdotban]

On story 4: I think OP should bring the situation to her lawyer and try to get full custody back. It's really concerning that the dad is "reallocating what you give your children to other children "and feels like theft.

The part of me that listens to True Crime Podcasts for hours on end is absolutely furious with the woman who was leaving the complex door unlocked.

Story 1:
Op: Breaks guys nose in self-defense and stops a possible kidnapping attempt.
Some of her friends: You're an asshole!
???

*4th Story:* I think OP's ex needs a reminder that the custody agreement only refers to their two kids. OP _says_ that her ex got his act together when he learned about kid #3, but him pressuring OP into babysitting 3 kids that aren't even hers at all so damn constantly suggests otherwise.

Story 6: Donating clothing to women's shelters is selfish? Yeah right, she just wants to show off in the late wife's clothes. Donating to charity is one of the most selfless things out there

[KellyDVance]

5th story: If the kids aren't yours, than they aren't your responsibility. That is just how it goes.
I remember going to visit my in-laws when my daughter was a toddler and we were potty training. My s-i-l watched me running around to make sure that she didn't cause any trouble or make a mess. She finally told me that there were five other adults in the house, including my husband, and two teenage boys who all were willing to help with the kid. She then sent me for a nap. As I was drifting off to sleep I heard her say, "Your wife is taking a nap, let her be."
That is an example of when you can pawn your kids off on someone else, but you never expect it.

How is Yugo doing, rSlash? The dog story reminded me of him, and I miss puppy bloopers. I know he hasn't been a puppy for a long time anymore, but still.

So it's perfectly OK to box a woman in and pester her with unwelcome questions, but it's NOT OK for her to defend herself by breaking his nose, all because he didn't understand the simple word "no"? Not anyone's fault but his for pushing boundaries and finding out how dangerous that could be. OP is NTA.

[IlovePrimark]

'Limey' is a perfectly ok slur to use agains us Brits - it comes from the days of sailing ships when the Royal Navy carried a supply of limes aboard all of their ships to prevent the sailors getting scurvey.

[IsMgb]

Story 5: there's a quick update, op talked to her husband and other frirends of her group where both Kate and Mary were part too. Turnes out both mommy friends were unsupportable and everyone just beared their presences because of op. They(op and the friend group) cut their relationship short

[melissaclark]

Uhm I think Rslash did not realise that it sounded like he was gonna kidnap the girl and sell her off. He knew her details and her details made it seem like she was already targeted and was selected.

[Sharauni]

I broke a guys nose the same way lol. Same kind of situation too, I was a senior in high school, I had been at the mall and was heading back to my car and he came up behind me while I was unlocking it. I got spooked and told him to back off and he just grabbed my arm! I immediately slammed the heel of my palm at his face, my mother taught me when I was little that that's a good way to get someone to leave you alone if they're assaulting you, and he went down screaming. I saw blood but just got into my car and drove off lol. Hope his nose was never straight again.

[anonymouspatriotnetwork]

Sue for full custody of your twoo kids. The toxicity he's exhibiting no judge would give him full custody now they would take away his 50% custody the way he's acting

[jessigraphiel]

Ah yes, the most selfish behaviour: gifting your clothes to the less fortunate. What a terrible person.

[Raaslen]

Story 1: NOPE, NTA, this kind of dude are only like that because people are usually unwillingly to break their noses, and I bet this one will at leat think twice before being creepy again.

[becauselifts]

Regarding Limey: It's not a slur, but can be an insult. Equivalent would be like someone from the southeast calling someone a "Yankee."

[silverflight]

Story 3: Well, it's on her if she doesn't follow the rules and not take the key with her. What happens if nobody else was present one day? Now what?
