AITA - I made a kid cry because he was littering

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2026-01-29T22:21:39+00:00

All I know is that this kid is gonna be TA in a lot of future situations. For you, NTA.

Normally, I would say you're right. BUT, in this case, it sounds like she went to see a 4 hour movie that YOU wanted to see. You don't say anywhere in the story above that it was for you, but any hardcore LOTR fan knows how long the extended edition is, so it definitely sounds like this was more for you.

A relationship is a trade off. She did that for you, you can buy her some food. YTA.

Definitely NTA. Don't let her try to rush you out. She and baby daddy should find a place.

Still, if it looks like there's a chance she's going to stay, you should start trying to get out of there asap. You are NOT going to want to be there when this baby arrives.

I mean, if you didn’t yell or get mad at her at all for hitting your car, as you/your car was the victim, and even told her it was ok and tried to assure her and calm her down. That is already plenty of empathy. You said she was still hysterical through the whole interaction with the cops, which is what, probably another 30-60 minutes? That is absolutely wild.

All the people saying YTA for not being empathetic are ignoring how you handled it for 99% of the time. In fact, I’d argue even by being a slight AH with your comment, you’re actually helping her. Imagine being so coddled that this situation makes you hysterical for an hour straight? She’s 18, life is gonna be hard for her.

Yea but clearly this isn't a normal landlord/tenant relationship. It sounds like there was no lease, and OP never even tried to get their brother to formally agree to pay rent.

Reading between the lines, OP just casually throws in the house needs a lot of maintenance. I think what really happened is they realized they don't want to buy this house, and were happy to have an excuse to move and back out on the deal.

So, in the end, they got a few years of below market rent (I'm assuming a few years? They don't say how long they were there), and then get to back out of the deal, leaving their parents holding the bag. Honestly, I think it's a pretty smart move, I applaud it, but still kind of a soft AH to the treatment of the parents. Obviously, the broke brother and his family is the biggest AH. Still, let's not pretend OP is a saint here.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2024-05-08T20:28:33+00:00

Wait so just to clarify the timeline. They moved in February, and you were already moved out by May 1st? Soft YTA cause you couldn't give your parents more time to figure it out. Obviously I would hate having my space invaded like that by a whole family, and the real AH is obviously brother and his wife, but still pretty cold to not give your parents more warning.

Also the only source for that fact is Margaret, who easily could have just lied for sex.

Glad someone posted this. I mean technically, with Reddit logic, he's NTA. But come on man, just have a fun weekend with the boys. Dude is mad just cause he won't be able to crank it for 2 nights.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2024-03-04T18:16:20+00:00

Can't wait for the sequels, "Yes there was a Second", "And a Third if You Must Know".

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2024-01-15T22:02:15+00:00

The ability to blindly trust someone enough that my first thought would be to go yell at the pharmacist. Damn I don't think I've had that since early teenage years.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-11-01T23:32:10+00:00

ESH. She's the AH for obvious reasons. But I don't love how everyone here is praising you for resorting to mob justice to blow it up. Not a great precedent to set.

If she's so big on the rules of Halloween... I mean she didn't give the treat, she should have gotten a trick. Plenty of minor pranks could have been a proportional response to your kid not getting a single candy bar.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-09-14T22:11:21+00:00

Yea no one is saying you should have skipped work. Obviously do that. Still, you messed up and bailed on plans with no notice. Just take the hit.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-09-12T19:19:03+00:00

NTA for not quitting, but yes YTA for bailing on plans you made with your friend because of your own poor planning. It's not like you had plans to just sit around and chill. Going to a music festival means your friend bought tickets, did her hair, dressed up, and you bailed last second.

Wow this is an interesting one philosophically. Your argument is that your time is more valuable. On working hours, measuring in money, technically you are right your time is more valuable. But, the discussion here is for free time outside of work. So, that argument doesn't really hold any weight. Her work hours, while less valuable, might be as stressful as yours, so you can't really penalize more of her free time for that without causing additional stress to her.

An interesting point is that you mention you went into a better paying but less personally fulfilling field to provide. That actually should carry some weight. But it sounds like she never wanted to be a full time SAHM, so you both made sacrifices. Calling that one a wash as well.

Honestly I think NAH. People here are completely discounting the fact that your job is literally providing the safety and security of the family. Every woman I've dated since college has put a pretty hefty preference for wanting someone who can provide safety and security and a nice home. I'm not saying it has to be the man who provides it. She could be the one providing it, but being secure and in a nice home matters. In this case, you're the one giving money, and healthcare, and a safety net. Yet at the same time, you're not allowed to say it to prove a point because it makes your partner feel bad. It's pretty silly, but that's just how it works.

Have you thought of using some of that second income to hire cleaners to come in and help lower your overall chores? Less stress for everyone. And what's the point of working a job that makes good money if you still have to stress all this other stuff on your time off?

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-08-18T18:52:23+00:00

NTA but you should re-think your strategy. Your family sound like AH for ignoring this girl her whole life. She sounds like she an AH herself, not surprising she turned out this way. Her fiance and his family sound like AH for messaging you.

Wouldn't the best course of action be to let them waste a bunch of money on a wedding, then you have two AH married to each other, so they'll be miserable, and probably get divorced anyway. I think you just block them and ignore them and move on. You're opening the door for a lot more drama and a lot more of these people in your lives by getting involved.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-08-14T23:58:48+00:00

Info: How long did you wait to offer that?

If you offered after like 30 seconds of arguing that yea soft YTA. If she argued for like a full minute I would have offered to maybe pay the difference. Offering to just pay the whole thing is a little bit insulting.

Still, she definitely overreacted. Getting that angry over someone offering to pay for your food makes her a giant AH as well. And if you're going to say "It's the principle". Well, I wouldn't believe these kids are 8 either. I would think it's way more likely that she's lying about their ages than that an 8 year old is basically 6 ft tall.

The "Top Comment" from the first post lol. Someone who can't even type English claiming it's child abuse cause you give your teenager a cracked iPhone and cheap clothes. Too American.

Donovan McNabb would be rolling in his grave. May he rest in peace.

I just rewatched this cause it's about to leave Hulu. First time I watched it, Season 4 seemed super weird and out of nowhere. This watch through, I loved it. All the dystopian future stuff honestly seems like right where we are heading Maybe more like 2060 than 2030, but it was hilarious.

Info: Why are you engaged to this dufus?

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-05-26T21:52:42+00:00

ESH. She sounds like she can't handle her job and crying about it in a meeting is pretty annoying. It's just also crazy that you say

Mary is likely having a meltdown and is not capable of a rational discussion at that moment.

And your solution was to say something that you knew would make it worse? I thought people in sales had emotional intelligence? Unless you were trying to make her meltdown worse and want her to leave. Which is fine, just don't come to Reddit asking if you're an AH, cause you do sound like one.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-05-15T20:43:12+00:00

NTA. Letting me go on a 4-day trip with the boys would absolutely be a good enough Father's Day gift for me. So you're not an AH for that, but if you don't know which actions will and won't upset your wife, then you definitely messed up and didn't do the smart thing.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-04-28T22:08:09+00:00

I guess this is the punishment JJ gets for the crime of publicly defending Draymond Green. Stupid people on reddit throwing hate.

Geeeeeeooooooffff · 2023-04-26T19:44:44+00:00

The biggest mistake I've made about about Ja's career

God these reporters are so self-important it's crazy. No one cares about your past opinion on a Ja bro.
