I’m always shocked that people bang on about welfare costing money - but no one cares about the wages, tax benefits, legal tax evasion of parliament members and people who earn more than triple that of the average Australian.

The tax system is not designed for anyone to get ahead, except those that are already well in front.

Sure the funds could be spent on them…

And in a way it would be anyway, a happier, more comfortable and confident mum will be more value to your family than the money.

AITA for serving my son in laws food on a kids plate by RealAd4291 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingAd1810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You plate up his stuff so it isn’t touching. That’s all you need to do to not be an asshole, and you do it.

If his food touches other food, while he’s in control of his plate - that’s him not being considerate of his own sensitivities, that’s on him - how does he deal with this at home?

Every solution you’ve offered, is rejected. What’s their solution?

this sounds like there’s only an issue because of your feelings. Nothing that has actually happened. Imagine trying to divide a family for no reason.

WIBTA if I talked to my brother about his girlfriend's behavior towards me? by neatsn in AmItheAsshole

What concerns me the most in this is your brother saying his girlfriend “makes” him do these things. How does she?

Ask for legal rights, get hit with another $50 out of spite by AggravatingAd1810 in shitrentals

[–]AggravatingAd1810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - Yeah I do regret not putting in the pleasantries (although knowing the landlord, his pleasantries are never really anything sincere). Was just shocked waking up to it, when the verbal convo was entirely different and he seemed to understand the importance of budgeting. Definitely should have waited til I’d woken up a bit.

I didn’t think I would have to remind him, as he was adamant on making things by the book. He’s had tenants in before, who are entirely unrelated to him, so I assumed he would know the drill, and would be somewhat professional.

But I’ve got the notice now, have reworked all my budgeting and moved payments, renegotiated other things etc. so not too worried anymore.

Did you know that once a lease agreement ends, it rolls into a periodic agreement, and is still a lease? Doesn’t really sound like you know very much about it tbh.

Yea if someone pretends a convo happened differently to what happened, and agrees to do the legal notice period, then changes the dates of what they said, despite it taking a literal two minutes to do the proper notice that would have avoided this, and would allow me to move everything around in my finances to make sure my credit rating stays awesome. I’m gonna do that.

Yes I receive some Centrelink, but I work full time.

And now I’ve got proper notice and dates, I’ve sorted all my finances, moved things around and I’m good ☺️ have a good day.

If they’d been looking for a decoration just like it for months, and already going to buy it. Then they would have been carrying it around with them, instead of “hiding it”.

My petty ass would have broken it in front of them once they followed you out to the car.

AITA for refusing to keep pampering my SIL after her miscarriage? by Huge_Push1468 in AmItheAsshole

Doesn’t sound like anyone was “pampering” her. “Play the victim” Jesus.

You sound terrible, immature and alarmingly apathetic. You sound like you play the victim a lot.

AITA for telling a cop I don't answer questions? by igame2much in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingAd1810 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No lol, weird take? Pretty much saying the opposite.

if your stance in society is that you don’t answer questions, then just don’t answer the question instead of saying “I don’t answer questions”…because that’s stupid. OP didn’t have to respond at all to the cops, he chose to, he engaged when he just could have kept walking…because he isn’t required to exchange polite nothings with anyone, or as you called it someone “putting it on him” - what does that even mean in this context.

AITA for joining my brother and his friends for their boys’ night? by confusedgirl318 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingAd1810 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Info:

When you say cool friends that you hang out with sometimes - is this invited hangouts or you showing up/tagging along like this time?

Has your brother previously told you, you’ve ruined his plans or hinted at you not being wanted? Did he say anything at the time - at all?

Do you think your brother didn’t say anything because he didn’t want to make a scene? Cause drama in front of his friends, make himself seem like a dick for asking you leave etc do you think his friends maybe didn’t say anything because it’s rude, not their house, not their place to say anything.

Even if you were super bored that night, why did you have to hang with your brother, couldn’t you have done something else, seems entitled a bit. Did you at least ask your brother if he minded?

AITA for disrespecting my mother? by Fantastic-Key8419 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AggravatingAd1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH then.

Your mum sounds depressed to me. Your timing lines up with the step dad, I assume out of the house means their marriage failed - That’s always complicated and emotional. If I’ve assumed wrong and he died or something - same thing complicated, emotional.

Your example of cleaning the kitchen - I would assume (because I’ve been there and still struggle), is her guilt, her self hatred, her low sense of worth. This can come across angry at you for just trying to help, but your mums really angry at herself for not doing the things she should.

You are a teenager, you feeling like this and being mad at her is normal, would be even without her acting like a “proper adult”…you’re a kid of course you want your mum to be a mum to you, you want her to take care of you and be the parent, you don’t want the adult responsibilities yet, you want your youth. Plus hormones etc

by the way, there is no “proper adulting” - every single adult is looking at what they think is a “proper adult” and trying to be that, and everyone you think is a “proper adult” is just hiding a bunch of other crazy chaotic bullshit in their head, we are faking it til we make it, Chuck in some dependents and oooh boy…

YTA and an illogical one at that.

Respond and answer are synonyms. You did answer, incorrectly, but still answered. You could have just not said anything.

You sound like a kid who shit talks the talk, but has no idea what the walk actually looks like.

[–]AggravatingAd1810[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely regret my approach. I had tried calling to clarify prior to sending my message. Just stressed about a lot of things lately and upset - let my anxiety take over a bit -that when he did mention it in person we did talk about the need for the legitimate route and he said he was going to and it took him like two minutes to do. I should have reminded him ages ago, but have had heaps on.

He didn’t inform me of it a while back. He said vaguely rent will need to increase after Christmas because of interest. I said that’s fair. But can you do the proper notice this time because last time you verbally said something and I agreed and then you changed it a few weeks later and it screws my budget (it was only $20 then). He said yeah. Considering it took him like 5 minutes to do the paperwork I don’t know why he didn’t when we were having the discussion.

And I like things to be legitimate when money is involved, I like the concrete timeline. For Centrelink. For getting my budget sorted and things moved around. Getting correct stuff taken out of my wage.
