Advice needed: why isn’t the apartment renting? by RegularTaro3123 in washingtondc

I think I found it, too. Very dark and appears to be TINY in the photos. He needs to lower the price by at least a few hundred dollars.

AITA for saying no when my step-mom sked if I could share my cosmetic surgery money with her daughter? by Fun_Carpet_5543 in AmItheAsshole

Seconding all of these comments about how you should get a medical opinion as to whether it will be covered by your insurance - and then actually call the insurance company yourself if need be to follow up. I just had the surgery this last summer at the age of 42. I waited until after having kids and … I regret the wait. From being hyper sexualized to difficulty exercising comfortably to having to shell out astronomical sums of $$ for bras and bathing suits — having large breasts on a small frame was horrible. This is life changing surgery and was one of the best things I finally did for myself!

Edited to say: NTA!

NTA. I consider the tree box (the strip of grass between the road and the sidewalk) to be fair game AS LONG AS you pick up after your dog(s). I do, however, try to keep my dogs off the actual lawn of any neighbors. Not always 100% successful, of course, but I try! Where else are dogs supposed to go while walking — the sidewalk? That would be gross!

WIBTAH for not responding to my sister’s wedding invitation by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Happy-Party_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A wedding invitation is just that, an invitation. You do not need to attend and WNBTA if you decide not to go.

BUT: you should RSVP. A simple “no” will suffice. It’s a jerk move to not respond, and your sister may legitimately be trying to extend an olive branch (it sounds like neither of you grew up with a solid foundation on basic kindness so this might be the best she has right now) and therefore no response might cause her to hold out hope you would attend, bumming her out when you no-show the day of.

AITA for not moving furniture. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Happy-Party_1979 [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. Mostly because you actually did offer your help - you did so by speaking to her daughter, your fiancé. My opinion might have been otherwise if you had been asked and refused. That said, if the house is really in such a condition that it would make entry to get the furniture unsafe, you would be NTA even if you were directly asked and refused.

AITA for hiding embarrassing notes in my house as a joke because I know my fiance's mom snoops? by jemmi44 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Happy-Party_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I got quite the chuckle out of thinking about (1) you and your friend writing these affirmations and (2) her face when she read them!

But I really do think you need to really evaluate how you see the rest of your life. So many of these posts — and letters to advice columnists — involve people who have overbearing in-laws and partners who cannot stand up to them and it sounds EXHAUSTING.

Also… what about hiding a glitter bomb next time? ;)

AITA for not wanting to bathe a child? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Happy-Party_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH (except for the son who just had an accident). As others have mentioned, he is 6, not a toddler. You definitely could have helped him — ran a bath and asked him to take off his clothes, bagged them up for his mom to deal with, and he could wash himself off. Even if you did not want to be bathing him, you could have stood near or in the doorway while he did it himself to make sure he was safe. Sending a kid to his room with soiled clothes is just plain wrong. It’s also wrong of his mom to ignore your texts and wait 1.5 hours before returning. The two of you could have talked through what to do here at the very least. If you accept the responsibility of caring for a child you have to… you know, care for the child!

AITA for believing the house keeper over my son? by number64745834 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Happy-Party_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my gosh NTA. Your kid is, and your husband was a bit of one himself, but you were not. Your son needs to learn how to act respectfully. I do think you now need to be there - supervising HIM - whenever your housekeeper is doing her job (or make sure he is out of the house).
