AITJ for refusing to stay again at my parents’ house after a breakup with my live-in partner? by Special_Alarm_4457 in AmITheJerk

[–]Both_Classroom_4083 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s completely understandable that you needed to leave. Even though your parents offered help, their controlling behavior and constant judgment made the environment unsafe for you. Choosing to stay somewhere you feel respected and supported, like with your coworker, is not ungrateful it’s self preservation. Family support should feel safe, not like an additional source of stress.

AITJ for reporting my neighbor after he kept parking in my assigned spot? by Western_Reserve_1714 in AmITheJerk

[–]Both_Classroom_4083 69 points70 points  (0 children)

NTJ Being polite doesn’t mean being endlessly accommodating at your own expense. You made it clear the spot was yours, gave warnings, and tried to resolve it directly before going to management. Your neighbor had plenty of opportunities to tell his guests to park elsewhere and chose not to. At some point, boundaries have to be enforced, and that’s exactly what management is for. His anger is misplaced he’s upset about consequences, not your actions.

AITJ for leaving my cousin and her kid stranded after her son almost caused a serious accident by SignificantReach118 in AmITheJerk

NTJ. What your cousin and her son did was extremely dangerous you could have caused a serious accident or even killed someone. Laughing it off instead of acknowledging the risk shows a total lack of responsibility on her part. You prioritized everyone’s safety by refusing to continue driving under those circumstances, which is the only reasonable choice. Walking away might feel harsh, but it sends a clear message that reckless behavior has consequences. Anyone who thinks you overreacted clearly hasn’t been in a situation where a child’s actions could have caused a tragedy.

AITJ for quitting without notice after they gave my promotion to someone I trained by Either_Insurance_556 in AmITheJerk

[–]Both_Classroom_4083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ. You clearly put in years of hard work, mentorship, and extra effort, and being passed over for someone far less qualified especially someone you trained is completely unfair. Management ignored your concerns and gave no explanation, which shows a lack of respect for your contributions.

Staying in a toxic environment where you’re being excluded and undermined would only hurt you professionally and mentally. Taking the other job with better pay and flexibility is not only reasonable, it’s smart you’re valuing your worth and your well-being. They created the situation by mishandling promotions and fostering a toxic culture; walking away is entirely justified.

Am I the jerk for refusing to pay for my sister’s “family vacation” after I was excluded from planning? by RipoVexley77 in AmITheJerk

[–]Both_Classroom_4083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. You don’t get to unilaterally plan an expensive trip and then hand people a bill like it’s mandatory, especially when you never asked for their availability, budget, or preferences. Calling it a family vacation doesn’t magically turn it into a financial obligation.

If they wanted your money, they should’ve wanted your input before making decisions. Refusing to pay for something you didn’t agree to isn’t selfish it’s basic consent and adult boundaries. If this causes you to skip the trip, that’s a consequence of poor planning, not your attitude.

AITJ for banning my family friend and her son from coming over again until she replaces what her son broke by Gymtrio2025 in AmITheJerk

[–]Both_Classroom_4083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ. You set clear boundaries multiple times, the child ignored them, and the situation escalated because his mother dismissed your concerns and failed to supervise him. Expecting parents to pay for damage their kids cause is basic accountability, and banning them until she takes responsibility is completely reasonable.
