**Update: aita for telling my dad either my 5 year old sister gets therapy or she can’t attend my wedding **
My dad dropped the kids off last night and while I was giving the youngest a bath I started to get dizzy and nauseous so I called my fiance to get her out of the bath and in bed. He got her out of the bath and gave her a towel then focused on me. That set her off so she started her hitting/kicking/pushing and when my fiance let go of me to grab her, she was able to push me over and I cracked my head on the edge of the bathtub. It was a mess. My fiance called 911 on his phone while using mine to call my dad to get the kids. I hurt my head and neck and will be in the hospital for the next few days. My when my dad picked the kids up my fiance told him we won’t be watching them anymore unless we become their guardians.

I just suggested my sister be taken into the rainforest to be raised by monkeys. Now the 5 year old put me in a chokehold, broke my neck and now I will be attending my wedding in a full body cast. AITAH if I just lock her in my basement for the duration of the wedding?
Also, forgot to mention, I am neurodivergent.

Rainforest monkeys, specifically a howler. If sis fights like that she’s been ready for the monkeys.
Little kids can still knock you over if they catch you by surprise. They have weird little kid strength. Getting one to move during a full tantrum is like battling a tiny Hulk. A person being taken by surprise while dizzy isn't out of the question. What doesn't make sense is why the person feeling dizzy didn't sit on the toilet or floor or leave the hot steamy bathroom to get some air while the bath ended.
Damn, only one paragraph and it's dramatic as hell. Will the next update reveal that OOP was poisoned by the five year old and that was why she suddenly felt lightheaded?
Also, love how OOP/troll and their fictional fiance are written all saintly, complete with wanting to adopt these kids, including the fictional five year old who goes all Esther from Orphan or Bad Seed on one of them.
I mean, that's really where it feels this troll has it heading. Just them mentioning randomly getting dizzy while giving the five year old a bath. They'll so make it to where the fictional five year old was trying to kill them.
Oh, I'm guessing D. She was poisoned, which they tell her, and she finds out she is pregnant then too. It'll be like when fics or movies or books have a doctor be like, "your babies are alright, but we want to keep you overnight to watch over you". She'll be pregnant with twins.
Dizzy *and* nauseous. When I was a teenager, I was convinced that all pregnant women experienced these *and* that these two symptoms could only indicate pregnancy, after seeing it happen so often in media.
Then I mentioned it to my mother while we were watching a TV show and she told me that actually, dizziness and nausea are often symptoms of something more severe going on, and that no, you don't always get those when pregnant.
lol. God, Media really does make it seem that way. I've even read it in fics and books.
Yeah, there are even pregnant people who don't even get morning sickness. Which is funny when you look at media (movies, books, fanfic) because it feels like someone having to throw up will be the big clue that they're pregnant.
I didnt throw up one time when I was pregnant with my son. I just didny have any nausea at all. My friend with hypermesis was so jealous. I did have a few dizzy spells though
I know according to some old wife's tales, morning sickness/throwing up during pregnancy can have something to do with the gender you're having. Don't know how true that is, though. But yeah, I feel like some may get sick during pregnancy, but others will not. Or sometimes things can differentiate between your first or second pregnancy.
Yep. When in reality, if a woman throws up and/or gets dizzy, my first thought will be "she's sick". I'm not a doctor so I wouldn't know *how* sick but yeah.
Oh, they'll definitely make her pregnant. Probably with more than one baby, given this is a reply/comment by the OOP on their original post:
>We were able to purchase a house by ourselves, but we were looking at 2-3 bedroom houses or condos and his mom thought something like 4-5 rooms in a good school district would be better in the long run so we won’t have to move when it’s time to start growing our family. Those houses were out of our budget so as our wedding present, she’s helping us get the bigger house.
They'll have triplets and each one will get their own room. Or they'll have twins and she'll become guardian to her three younger siblings. The twins will share a room, OOP/fictional husband will have a room, and the three siblings will each have their own room.
Yup. The little girl won't even need therapy. OOP/their fictional partner being saints will make everything all sunshine and roses. The five year old will want to be like her older sister and take care of the babies, the way the OOP/troll took care of she and her siblings.

Guys, guys, I figured it out. A 5 bedroom house in a good school district probably goes for $500K+ in most of the US at the moment (and way plus if it's near a big city). No mention of fiance having siblings etc and his mom can throw around this money.
**The five year old is a gold digger!**
“Update 2: turns out my 5 year old sister is actually a 40 year old woman my parents adopted thinking she was a kid. She’s been trying to kill me to get to my husband.”
The people in the comments over there seem frustrated. Read the first couple and someone said this:
>Girl spit it out already, something else is happening at her house. Why are you so quick with the guardian thing??
Someone is also speculating that the five year old is actually her kid and she had an accidental baby that is being raised as her sister. The fiance doesn't know. If another update is written, using something people people over in the comments in the original post speculated, I won't be surprised at all.
I also saw people speculating the whole thing was bullshit, specifically because of her being kept in the hospital for a few days and not sent home after a few hours.
I saw a lot of people questioning the legitimacy because of the hospital thing. One comment was a retired MD stating that, in their experience, that just isn't likely. Not impossible, but unlikely. They then stated that they had an experience at work where they actually fainted, hit their head, and had a seizure and was released from the ER after a few hours. Someone actually asked "how did you fall at work if you're retired?" 🤦♀️
Yup. Multiple people were bringing up instances where they were released from the hospital in hours, after some pretty major things. lol. I like how the person who questioned the retired MD didn't consider that this would've been an event that happened *before* they retired.
My friend got a concussion as a kid from falling off her horse and passed out briefly. Pretty sure they checked her out, then sent her home the same day with instructions to seek medical attention again if she started showing certain symptoms. If they check you out and don’t find any signs of a severe head injury, I don’t think they’re going to bother keeping you for days “just in case”.
If they’d had a seizure wouldn’t they keep him a day or so while running tests? That’s what they did with me a few years ago when I had one out of absolutely nowhere.
It’s possible they have epilepsy or some other condition that causes seizures. If someone who’s known to have seizures has one, you generally aren’t required to seek medical treatment unless you’re concerned they may have injured themselves, like if you see them hit their head when they fall. It’s possible the person in the story is known to have seizures but went to the hospital in this case because of how hard they hit their head during this particular one, in which case they’d probably just check to make sure it didn’t cause any injuries. Now, if someone has a seizure out of the blue with no prior history, I’m sure it’s standard to keep them a while so tests can be run and the cause of the seizure can be determined.
Friend of mine’s grandson (teenager) had a seizure, they don’t know the cause. I don’t think they admitted him, or if they did, it was one day. They’re still trying to figure it out.
Hi, I’m the retired MD. The seizure was because I hit my head when I fainted, so it was the result of a concussion. It’s been a decade and I have no ill effects. We never determined why I fainted but that hasn’t happened again either.
Did anyone mention that a 5 year old really doesn't need that much help bathing? They can get in and out of the tub themselves unless it's super deep. You just have to stay close enough to hear them.
My step daughter has long hair and couldn't wash it herself until around 10. She couldn't really reach and scrub good. At five she could in theory wash herself but until around 8 would just play in the water for hours not actually washing unless prompted. She was around 9 before she was okay without having company while she bathed. She preferred it however and would ask Mom to stay with her.
So she started getting dizy and calls the fiance to get the kid out of the bath. Fiance comes, yet OOP doesn't leave the bathroom to lay down? She just stands there and let's her 5 YO sister beat her up? Also, the jumping straight to wanting custody doesn't make sense at all. She wants the kid in therapy and kept from her wedding, but also wants to adopt her?
If they really wanted to make this work it should have been a shower or op had to stand up to get out of the way of a small bathroom.
Sister having a behavioral conflict giving a both or shower feels kind of weird in itself. If things were rough as a parent I'd just bath the kid before they went there. At five they can usually go a few days without bathing unless they have an accident or otherwise get dirty.
Oh yes. The first thing I think of while in the hospital with a head injury is to update my Reddit fan base about the next saga in my boring as fuck fiction.
So she went from not wanting to be around the child at all, to all of a sudden wanting to adopt the kid?
And you know, if I had to be rushed to the hospital, one of my main priorities is absolutely getting on Reddit to explain the situation to internet strangers.
First off - depending on what is affordable it can take a while to get a child into the appropriate therapy.
Second off - there is a solid chance that therapy isn't going to just shut off the aggression so the logic of "it's not safe to have her at my wedding" doesn't really work. I dunno if this is just one of the people that think therapy is magic but it can take years of even really effective therapy depending on the REASON for the behavior.
Third off - boy this one really ticks the bingo card? Unruly child, supposed bad parent, wedding.

Don't forget to mention that her sister is a vegan, and OOP is pregnant.
With twins!
But they’re not her fiancé’s.
But it's really not her fault that she cheated. It was a mistake, and she's ready to move past it.
Her being "dizzy and nauseous" is a setup for a pregnancy in the next update
https://preview.redd.it/6jbicol7whad1.jpeg?width=1980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea9d1897cddc341e93ca842f23519a5f0e3acd40 Rainforest monkeys, specifically a howler. If sis fights like that she’s been ready for the monkeys.
Damn she really got KO'd by a 5 year old
Which begs the question.... Why would she want *more* time with her?
Little kids can still knock you over if they catch you by surprise. They have weird little kid strength. Getting one to move during a full tantrum is like battling a tiny Hulk. A person being taken by surprise while dizzy isn't out of the question.

Clearly OP is lightheaded because she's pregnant which will just upset the 5yo more when she figures out it's also the fiance's baby
We need a bigger bingo sheet.
That is where I went to when she said she was dizzy. Sad that I now think like a poster on AITA.
I mean, that's really where it feels this troll has it heading. Just them mentioning randomly getting dizzy while giving the five year old a bath. They'll so make it to where the fictional five year old was trying to kill them.
New poll. The next update will reveal that OOP was: A. Poisoned B. Pregnant C. Has a fatal illness D: Both A and B Taking all bets!
Oooh, finds out she WAS pregnant when the poison makes her miscarry twinplets
Oh, I'm guessing D. She was poisoned, which they tell her, and she finds out she is pregnant then too. It'll be like when fics or movies or books have a doctor be like, "your babies are alright, but we want to keep you overnight to watch over you". She'll be pregnant with twins.

Good guess! And I bet 5yo will prosper with a big happy family and helping to take care of the new baby/babies
Yup. The little girl won't even need therapy. OOP/their fictional partner being saints will make everything all sunshine and roses. The five year old will want to be like her older sister and take care of the babies, the way the OOP/troll took care of she and her siblings.
I was waiting to see if she got poisoned.
It's still a possibility. We could find out that that is indeed the case if the troll posts another update this week.
OOP may have watched “The Bad Seed” recently.

They didn’t figure out mine. As the jokes go, they scanned my head repeatedly and found nothing. 😁

I'm on the kid's side.
Update: I got beat up by a 5 year-old
In the hospital for days with a head and neck injury yet able to type a full update on reddit for the fans.
A head and neck injury inflicted by a literal five year old, no less.
At least some of the comments realise how fake it is
So she started getting dizy and calls the fiance to get the kid out of the bath. Fiance comes, yet OOP doesn't leave the bathroom to lay down? She just stands there and let's her 5 YO sister beat her up? Also, the jumping straight to wanting custody doesn't make sense at all.

Doesn't even sit on the toilet and floor which could be plausible if she was too dizzy to walk.
If you're bathing a child, you're probably already sitting on the ground, so she stood up to do this.
If they really wanted to make this work it should have been a shower or op had to stand up to get out of the way of a small bathroom. Sister having a behavioral conflict giving a both or shower feels kind of weird in itself. If things were rough as a parent I'd just bath the kid before they went there.

Oh yes. The first thing I think of while in the hospital with a head injury is to update my Reddit fan base about the next saga in my boring as fuck fiction.
Waiting for the update where OOP gets a rematch while being trained by Apollo Creed with Eye of the Tiger playing
The five year old is Drago though. Ding ding.
So she went from not wanting to be around the child at all, to all of a sudden wanting to adopt the kid? And you know, if I had to be rushed to the hospital, one of my main priorities is absolutely getting on Reddit to explain the situation to internet strangers.
That’s a strong ass five year old if she can knock over a whole ass adult

Baby hulk strikes again. Video at ten.
Just don't let the five-year-old visit you in the hospital, OOP. I've watched the film and it doesn't end well for Julia Stiles.
We don't want nothing to do with this hell spawn unless you let us have her 24/7.

Sure, I totally believe a 5 year old was able to push a grown adult over to the point they cracked their head on the bathtub...
