[@ramenbomberdeluxe4958]

Exactly!! Such is the way of the inferior morals of the American school system. Punish the victim, spare the bully, or give both of them mediocre punishments (or sometimes major) and make the bullying get far worse than ever before. Then they wonder why kids either kill themselves or (in a select few instances, since most of the next category are just evil twisted monsters) take their anger out on the schools with school shootings?

I don't care about James's mother, but think about James! His friends went to party that he wasn't invited because the two mothers couldn't think beyond their inconvenience. So yeah, both of mothers are buttholes. Imagine she telling her son: oh darling, you can't invite your friend because mommy is mad with his mommy * insert Karen voice *. (But I would bet money that she lied to her kid saying that James couldn't make it). And the next day in school, James and the others boys discovered that he wasn't invited, but they don't know the reason. And each mother can give her side, putting their kids in a very problematic position. I mean, OP could made the mother signed a contract, could take James with them, could take James to his house (or talked to the other parents to take him)... Op didn't want James in her house, that's the reason.

The first story: if the step sister was being expelled for her bullying, then the behaviour extends much further the OP was letting on, a school doesn't just expel kids for writing hurtful notes, which leads to thinking that the bullying potentially extended to physical abuse, which would easily lead to a no warnings immediate expulsion. Even without the full details and just the knowledge of the consequences it's clear the step sister deserved it. In fact, her other step siblings were worried; why?

I begged them to send me to another school. They refused because they trusted the school staff too much. I developed mental health problems that I have to this day. Last time I spoke with my mother she said something about public transport being more dangerous than the school bus. "Something may have happened." Something much worse was happening every single day, and she knew it. She did not care. And how come the public transport became so much safer once I went to highscholl that had no busses?

[@eldupont3095]

I love the violin, and this sister was a horrible person, but my guess would be she couldn't handle how much playing there was, or how loud it was, or the pitch of the playing. Especially since its probably not like listening to a concert. They're doing scales backwards and forwards, and I can imagine they might play the small same segment of a piece over and over sometimes to get it just right. Sometimes it would be them just playing a song through, which seems like it would be nice to listen to. But, for some people, the constant audio stimulation would be obnoxious and exhausting.

Too add about the pregnant SIL morning sickness and needing to pee a lot come a couple months into the pregnancy (unless it's after the first child but as OP said it's their first) and definitely your feet isn't hurting till way later when you actually have gained a bunch of weight quickly which is what's causing those sores.

Third story : NTA. He asked OP not to call the police (even she should imo). Tho i do hope that the step sister will still suffer some of the concequences. Fourth story : NTA. OP defended her cousin against an attention seeker that was making her cry. Some people just need to have a taste of their own medicine sometimes. Fifth story : NTA.

For the woman with the cancelled wedding venue: Give everyone involved with the venue a password that needs to be confirmed to change anything in the wedding. This password needs to be with the people you’re booking with, the wedding planner (if you have one), and anyone else that control what happens with the wedding. That stepsister is going to try and cancel the venue again, so you need to protect it. You also need to disinvite her to the wedding. The dad seems great, but if he doesn’t punish the stepsister, you might want to disinvite him and not tell him the password. He’s either a victim, or an enabler, and either way, your password is not safe in his hands. Definitely keep the password between you and your fiancé only, or your stepsister could ruin your wedding. And if she finds a way to do it again, sue her or do whatever you need to to keep her out of your lives. She’s toxic and crazy, and you need to cut her out of your life.

She's a shit stirring B* and she went behind my brother's back at the funeral home to change EVERYTHING. Brother had the Army Honors scheduled to be done at the grave, B*Cousin had them changed to inside the Chapel in the Funeral Home. Brother had asked for closed casket during the service. B* Cousin had it open casket. She convinced him to let her get a pastor and said she'd get "singers" to sing. B*Cousin got 2 tone deaf old women and herself to sing (FYI, I am a trained singer and could have sung for my Dad's funeral as I had my Mom's, but was told no). The only thing she did right was get a good pastor. After the funeral, B*Cousin started telling everyone that she 100% did EVERYTHING. That SHE was the one who went broke, that she even did all the food at the Wake (she ordered from a grocery store, and I helped pay that!). Worse, she found out that Dad left my Brother some money, not enough to fully repay the costs but enough to help him-- The Cousin stated hounding him for that money!!
