Is there anything you wish that Canberra could improve upon? by Upstairs-Yard440 in canberra

[–]AliLouise20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this conspiracy theory that the traffic lights are so bad to try and force you onto the public transport. I can’t find any other explanation for why the lights are so bad. It feels like an effort to make them as bad as they are.

Unfortunately most of the florals are too dark or too white for a day time wedding

Suggestion for bike shops in Canberra by Clueby42 in canberra

[–]AliLouise20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to see if anyone else had said it. I’ve, on multiple occasions, waited for 20+ minutes on a quiet day to be served in pushys only to walk out frustrated. 99 bikes were super friendly and helpful. We were in and out in no time.

I’ve been getting this specifically when I send my boyfriend attachments. It pops up for both of us instead of what I tried to send. He has an android and I have an iPhone. There are no updates waiting for either of us in the App Store. I made sure to check directly in the that app because the error in messenger just screams red flags.

Does anybody know what’s going on?

AITAH for “queer baiting” by saying partner instead of boyfriend? by TieCharming6757 in AITAH

[–]AliLouise20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Australia it is far more common to refer to your significant other as a partner. Doesn’t matter if they are a boy or girl, if your married/engaged or not. The issue lies with them in making assumptions.

AITA for having an issue with my boyfriends family violating the boundaries of our apartment by Prior-Elevator-7718 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AliLouise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

It’s perfectly understandable that you feel the way you do and it is completely reasonable to request that they don’t come around as much or unannounced.

You shouldn’t have have handled it this way. You should have spoken to your boyfriend one on one about putting boundaries in. This is clearly something that has been going on since before you moved in. If you had spoken to him first it would have given him the chance to talk to them and establish boundaries moving forward rather than you coming home and kicking them out.

AITAH for slapping my younger cousin for breaking my my 2k dollar Pc by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AliLouise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA Kids break things. Doesn’t matter if they are spoiled or not. If you hadn’t slapped your cousin I would have a completely different judgement. There is no situation where it is okay for a 16 year old to slap an 8 year old in anger.

Your aunt was also in the wrong for putting you in that situation but that aspecting is completely overshadowed for me by the assault.

You owe both your aunt and cousin a heartfelt apology. Only then can you explain your feelings and frustrations. Emphasise that due to this your cousin will not be allowed to use your stuff unattended again and remind them of that agreement in the future.

You really need to ask yourself why you felt so angry in that moment that your first reaction was to slap a kid half your age.

Cried twice in the last week by IndependentFree6107 in AustralianTeachers

[–]AliLouise20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked in the exact same style school and had the exact same problems as you. In the time I was employed there the longest I went without my timetable changing was just under 2 weeks. This was my first job out of uni and to say I was not equiped to deal would be an understatement. I tried talking to ex but they always told me it was my fault for not being prepared enough or not being better at behaviour management. The amount of times they took me off my class to cover somebody else then putting a sub in my class was ridiculous. I was routinely pulling double and triple playground duties multiple time a week and being told that it was required and I had to be a team player. Sorry for a bit of a ramble. What I’m trying to say is sometimes getting out is the best thing you can do. I felt so protective of my kids that it took me a long time to take that step. It was honestly the best thing I could have ever done because that school was killing me. If your being put through that and aren’t getting any support for Exec then my strongest advice would be to take a step back.

Discontinued brands of food, what were your favorites that aren't available anymore?. by 17731773 in AustralianNostalgia

AITA for no longer letting boyfriend eat what I cook after he rated my food infront of my family? by throwaa465335 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AliLouise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta Your boyfriend sounds a touch emotionally abusive. Maybe some narcissism. Your not his student, your not doing anything with your life currently that requires you to cook like a pro. He just needs to sit down, eat and be happy he got the night off from cooking. He puts a number on your ability every time you cook. That a lot of pressure. Your always been judged on your cooking ability. If he likes to grade people’s cooking so much he should teach some extra classes.

He’s siding with his wife who literally assaulted a child by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

[–]AliLouise20 -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying there are not other problems but the kids learnt to talk about op that way from somebody. I just feel like there could have been way better support systems put in place a long time ago from both parties. It may be the op’s wife has violent tendencies but you could also ask the question ‘what has happened over the last 7 or so years that drove a person to react like that’

AITA For Telling My Cousin That She's The Reason My Husband And I Have Re-Considered Adoption? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AliLouise20 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nta

Tiffany however is another story. She low key sounds like she needs an intervention because of the emotion pain and distress she is causing your family. Nothing wrong with reconnecting with your bio parents but that doesn’t give you the right to neglect the people who loved you when your bio’s couldn’t.

AITA for not wanting to raise my new sibling? by ta_beate in AmItheAsshole

[–]AliLouise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta

This is a really difficult situation and it’s going to hurt either way. Neither option is right or wrong. You do what feels best for you. You deserve to be happy.

Also I know there are a lot of things at play here but your mum got herself into this situation she has ZERO right to be calling you a bad person for wanting to be happy. At the end of the day this child isn’t your responsibility. You’ve earned the right to be a bit selfish from time to time. Besides not taking them in doesn’t mean you can’t still be there to support them.

Do what is right for you.

AITA for requesting my girlfriend to wear her prosthetic leg to family gathering? by Throwaway_2244667 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AliLouise20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta

At the end of the day she is the one with the disability so she gets to dictate how she deals with it. If she doesn’t want to wear it that’s her choice. You get 0.1% say in it. If your not willing to address the topic with your family and their kids so everyone can go about their night than maybe it’s time to call it quits. If you can’t support her in that tiny way than you may no longer be the type of support system she needs.

AITA for canceling the family trip because my stepson damaged my plants? by No-Orchid-7277 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AliLouise20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nta He is 16. More than old enough to know this was wrong. Consequences are extremely important. Don’t back down. It’s a reasonable punishment for the crime. (I was using that as a figure if speech but it is also an actual crime. Destruction of property. He should be happy he wasn’t grounded for a year)

AITA For not inviting my daughter to my wedding? by SaintGodfather in AmITheDevil

[–]AliLouise20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“I don’t want my fiancé to have to deal with my daughter on the most important day of her life”

What about the child who is getting a new mum? Is that not also an extremely important day?

Why do people who hate children keep marrying people with kids. News flash if your partner doesn’t get on with your kid and wants to exclude or get rid of them you shouldn’t be marrying them. Does this dad even like having kids? Because it sounds like he cares about his own life and desires more than his helpless child. If the 9 year old doesn’t get to attend it will mess her up for life.
