It honestly sounds like none of these people understand that the child is 4 and autistic. When my son(who is autistic) was 4 it was constant movement. Jumping, climbing, running and noise. Telling him to stop might make it stop for a couple minutes and he would start again. You can't discipline this behaviour out of a child that young even if they are neurotypical. Neurodivergant children have even less ability to adhere to what is "acceptable " behaviour. Their brains are wired differently. Nta. I would look into rugs for your place and asking the apartment manager when an apartment on the floor level would be available.
AITJ For Wanting To Cut My Kid's Hair?
1 year ago
Ntj mostly. Good for you for encouraging your child to have the hair they want. And I only say mostly because maybe the child needed a trim but that's what the child should have gotten and ended there even if it wasnt by you but that isn't what happened and now your ex has just run over the child's preferences and if you don't take a stance now and make it stick i dont know what will. Itseems your ex doesn't realize your child should have autonomy over their body and just wanted them to look how they thought was acceptable. This fight with your ex at the very least is about control and not the child(for the ex). The grandparent shouldn't get a vote. I'd start to get a mediator for the two of you and definitely record any interactions you can because that will be helpful.
Ntj. She asked if she'd have access towards those funds and you said no. She thought you were kidding and is now mad to find out that you weren't. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Anyone that says you are the jerk just don't realize that real life choices have real life consequences.
AITJ For Throwing My Wife A Surprise Party?

Ytj. I am very much an introvert. The whole day you planned up until the party sounds absolutely amazing. The party not so much. After an entire day out and about(as amazing as it was) is exhausting. It sounds like you're very much an extrovert so maybe that part was more for you than her. If you need to go out and do more things then absolutely do so! There is nothing wrong with that. Apologize and try to understand that for you as an extrovert being around people and being social is what recharges your batteries. For her that her batteries get recharged by quiet and alone time. I'm the same way. I need quiet or time to myself to recharge. My fiance needs social interaction and outside activities to recharge his. Nothing is wrong with either unless one of us forces the other into what helps ourselves more than the other without us being able to do both of our things. Kindness and empathy goes a long way.
