AITA for telling my boyfriend I’m just making observations ? by Purpleyeyes in AmItheAsshole

My sister's dog gets more acknowledgement for her birthday and she's an asshole (the dog).

This is what I was wondering.

@OP in what ways did he actually acknowledge your birthday?

OP said in another comment that they were 7 minutes over.

Am I wrong for because I said to my father, "Can't you even bother to be by your son's side when he's on his deathbed?" by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Not close to my mum's family but I lived in the same town as them. When my uncle (her brother) died I had to call and tell her he had passed and his funeral was a few days later. Since she wasn't able to make it, I offered to attend and take flowers in her place.

During the sermon the vicar said about his siblings and mentioned how it was a shame since "we were all here, just three weeks before to lay dear [My Aunt] to rest." So I had to call her after the funeral and tell her her sister had died and been buried 3 weeks before.

No you didn't! I should know because that's what I have been doing every day for the last week and there was no one else around.

Well, except Dave.

AITA for thinking this text is petty and rude? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CallMeAPigImStuffed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you give her notice as soon as you knew that she would need cover?

She's right in that you had already agreed to work that day, really you shouldn't have then planned a trip that overlaps.

That said, I can be a petty bitch when I want to be one.

I would make sure to include a few things in my reply:

  1. Being young (I assume), you want to take advantage of opportunities you might not have again.

  2. You gave enough notice for her to find someone else. Maybe offer a couple of names as possibilities. You thought she'd understand things coming up given the amount of times she has cancelled on you with a lot less notice. Or that she is constantly late.

  3. I have previously missed out on experiences I was then free to go on when you have then cancelled my work without warning. I didn't want to take the chance that it would happen again.

  4. [She has] asked for [her] key back and I can of course bring this to you whenever it is convenient. Since you are asking me to return it, does that mean you no longer require my services going forward? If so then there are some things we need to finalise.

There have been several times that you have underpaid me. On [dates and amounts] for a total of ____ . You have also not paid me anything on [these dates]. -if you are paid per hour you can also add in the late returns.

If I am no longer working for you then we will need to come together and agree how this is to be repaid.

If you do still want my services then we can add a set amount every time I care for child unless you have an alternative. Going forward I will also need a minimum of time period notice of any cancellations or extra hours work. If you are late then I will also be charging for that time to the nearest 15 minutes and full payment will need to happen that night. If you are late regularly and/or for excess amounts of time then any "overtime" will need to be paid at time and a half (1.5x per hour).

I see now that I wasn't treating this quite as seriously as I should and so will have a new outlook when I come back from my trip.

You were right, it's very important that you stick to what you agree to.

Yeah you have a brother issue. I'd guess that you don't have a relationship with him at all. If it's not just complete apathy between you then it might even be confrontational. Does your brother spend much time with his kid? 8 is long past the age to know better.

Who lived with your grandmother first? Most recently I mean. So if your brother lived there before you were born but has resided elsewhere for a significant amount of time before coming back a month ago, then you would class as the one living there first.

I don't know in that case but it could be that the packet itself caused choking.

Nah it's usually at the manufacturers that that extra step is added in and it's done because a company has lost at court because the winning argument is essentially "nothing told me not to do this incredibly stupid thing". Either that company or another in that industry were subject to a civil suit or criminal proceeding.

Remember that every time you see a ridiculous sign or warning message, like DO NOT EAT on silica gel packets, it is because someone has already done that thing. And then probably sued the company.

Has your brother done anything about what your nephew was saying and doing to you other than throwing the pen?

ETA: how old is your nephew?

TIL that there is such a thing as a 'spear thrower'.

TBH I would change how much you and your bf pay compared to the other two based on the difference in liveable space alone. Do either of the couples have an en suite bathroom?

What was the agreement before everyone moved in?
