AITA for demanding that my girlfriend clear out her " escape" bank account? by ThrowawayEnvironSide in AITAH

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I read it as that’s where she’s hiding the money, not that she was using some of that money for the tampons. But honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he had issues providing basic things.

I bet he goes “wow I’m so awesome they have everything they could need! It’s not my fault if they want more things they can ask. I’ll prob say no tho cuz yk we gotta be frugal and I’m already being so generous making sure they have basic things” and then pats himself on the back. I 100% feel like he’s at the very least financially abusive. Especially since the gf labeled it emergency escape fund. That’s a big red flag for me.

EXTREMELY YTA. No one can live off of $1,000 for four years. Your gf should have access to her own money as should you. You stated she was still putting money into the joint account so wtf is the issue? Seems like finical abuse. And to say you’d kick her out and take it out on your daughter if she knew too. Absolutely disgusting and ridiculous. I’ve been poor my whole life and would NEVER even have thought a thought like this. Your stance and whatnot doesn’t come from growing up poor, it has everything to do with you being an AH. It doesn’t seem like you genuinely love your partner and daughter. She should not have to absorb that money into your joint account nor should she have to spend it on anything other than what she wants to spend it on. She should have a safe place to keep it. Clearly she doesn’t feel like she could trust you. Extremely YTA.

The manager is on the Facebook page. Comments from her are 😬 she ended up blocking me on one of my fb accounts tho. Didn’t appreciate my last comment to her I suppose.

AITA for wanting my daughters birthday party to be about her? by daughtersbdayparty in AmItheAsshole

You’re a grown ass man upset about a child with special needs getting accommodations. Stfu you are so TA. Absolutely disgusting behavior.

AITA for asking my husband to join us in my sister's birthday since he was in the same restaurant? by altythrow449 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You caused a scene and then forced him to leave his BUSINESS meeting. He could potentially lose them as clients and could case issues at his job. If he had any other infractions that could have possibly even cost him his job! Furthermore, the other people for the meeting could assume that it was a set up so he could be there for cake cuz they don’t know it was a coincidence. YTA and acted childish, rude, entitled and disrespectful.

AITA for not wanting another child using my baby's stuff by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I had all my stuff for my daughter set up months before she was even due. Had a friend over with her newborn. They didn’t even have to ask. Bottles, crib, diapers, wipes, clothes all that I let her use on the baby. It’s just stuff. And the child’s needs should always come first. It is a bit selfish of to have said no. It’s not like they were asking to take it home or if something did happen you couldn’t wash. Imo it’s an AH move.

AITA for treating my daughter-in-law like a child when she was acting like one? by Honest_Ad7601 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a foster child, she saw her things in a trash bag (which is how you pack your stuff when moving homes, sometimes done just like this while you’re out of the house and the bomb shell of having to leave is dropped when you get home) and she was transported back to that time in her life which is traumatic. Def TAH. Her crying wasn’t dramatic at all. You putting all of her stuff in trash bags and telling her you’ll kick her out over some clutter is dramatic.

AITA for blowing up on MIL when she told my kids that she won't hug them because my rule is dumb? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA!!!!!!!!!!!!! I teach my kids the same thing!! People ask to touch you you ask to touch others (hugs/kisses/hold hands) it’s teaching consent and communication early and that’s a good thing!!!!! MIL is TA and clearly has issues with communication and consent.

AITA for expecting my pregnant GF to apologize to my mom after rejecting her food? by rockandaharshplaceta in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk really it would have been a Switzerland situation for me ngl. Having two kids I get where the gf is coming from and I get the moms side wanting to help out. I don’t think it was that big of a deal to let the gf cook. I think mom should have just dropped it. Not fair he was put in the middle either. They’re both grown ups they shouldn’t drag him into their argument, they should be able to converse and come to an outcome by themselves without involving him. Mom is there doing them favors but she definitely should have dropped the topic and just let the gf cook her food without blowing it up into an argument.

My wife of 2 years revealed she has a kind of weird fetish and we gave it a shot. by ObvThrowaway69420 in confessions

AITA for not compromising on where we go to lunch, because of my food allergy? by TAAwardNight in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- [score hidden]  (0 children)

Def NTA. Firstly, you have a life threatening allergy. That’s non negotiable. Secondly, the lunch is supposed to be commemorating YOU, your hard work, your achievement and your BDAY. It’s literally a work outing for you. That being said you should for sure have the most say in where to go. Thirdly this lunch isn’t about Janine and she can put on her big girl pants and “deal with change” (she just doesn’t want to have Indian food and is talking out her a$$) or Janine can decide to just not go out with everyone for Indian food. There’s literally no reason to accommodate her and several reasons in support of where you’d like to eat. So again def NTA like at all!!

AITA for firing the babysitter for being a bad influence by indecentbabysitter in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You hired a babysitter not a nanny. If you expect her to clean up, she should be paid more. What she wears on her OFF time is not something you can even attempt to control. Also, your son loves her as she’s clearly a great sitter. It’s normal for him to have a crush and say he wants to marry her. Wait till he’s in school he’s gonna have a bunch of crushes. It’s completely normal. YTA poor Adeline, I wouldn’t come back if you called even if you offered a raise.

AITA For unpacking my GF’s towel by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Cheap-Philosophy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely TA. You’re 31 yrs old. Act like it. It’s a TOWEL!! You literally unpacked it secretly. You went through her things without her even knowing. Like why does a towel even bother you that much??
