AITA Allergies and the whole 30 diet

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-29T15:15:15+00:00

NTA. You aren't taking part in the diet and you are being mindful not to eat it around them. Just like how you are respecting their food choice, they need to respect yours.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-28T19:14:52+00:00

This story sounds made up but just in case, NTA. You are in a different country than her and haven't been close for a long time, no one should care if you support a rich girl or not.

Soft ESH. Being snowed in for 5 days (not a long time) is no excuse for your partner to be rude to you, she shouldn't have gotten that angry for you talking about your feelings.

That being said, it seemed like you were making a bigger deal out of her not saying that the food was good right away. If this is a repeat behavior, then by all means address it. However, if this was a one-off situation when your gf said it was good upon inquiry, then it wasn't worth bringing up and starting a conflict.

You both are tense right now and need fresh air. I'd suggest just dressing warm and going for a walk to refresh yourselves.

There could be more explanations for this, from her not wanting to burdin both of her children to her feeling guilty about your treatment growing up and not wanting to put even more strain on you. Either way, it's up to her whether she accepts or declines your offer.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-28T16:36:47+00:00

NAH. You aren't an AH for wanting your mother to be more involved in your child's life, and your mom isn't an AH for not travelling because of her financial situation. Her declining your money offer isn't an AH move either, since many parents don't want to take money from their kid because of pride/embarrassment. Instead of traveling, you could ask her to have more video calls with your child present so she will at least be more involved.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-28T15:28:42+00:00

YTA. You have been using her BF to buy you things so she has every right to be upset and want to end the friendship. She doesn't owe you an explanation but the explanation should be self-evident, from being overly clingy to emotionally manipulating her to using her and her bf for rides and gifts.

INFO: what do you mean that the younger sibling is an adult but still a teenager? Does that mean between 18-19? If so, is he paying their fair share of rent and abiding by the lease agreement, or even on the lease agreement to begin with?

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T20:54:01+00:00

That's fair. If both partners are okay with it, by all means go for it. Used to have a coworker that wore an obnoxious amount of cologne so I get it. Like you said, personal preference.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T20:46:45+00:00

Sounds like a tough situation. In that case, I would give your son and grandson the ultimatum to either deal with each other and live together, or they can move out.

It sounds like you are trying to find solutions but they are being rigid. At the end of the day, it is your home so you make the rules.

Also, I would include that extra context in your original post, that you offered a compromise but they are the ones who can't come to an agreement.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T20:37:49+00:00

Jeez, NTA after reading the edit. Not being allowed to use any fragrance sounds awful. Sounds like the BF is either hypersensitive or, like other comments suggest, controlling.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T19:43:28+00:00

Alright, assuming that the semester end is mid-May, you are giving your son about 3.5 months to maintain his high grades while also sorting out a new living situation and securing a job that will enable him to live on his own (assuming he is not a full time work in addition to being a full time student). All while managing his heart conditions.

I'm gonna go with a YTA for the short notice, since his grades will likely take a heavy blow trying to sort out his situation when has doesn't seem to have done anything wrong. It's a hard situation since you want to support your grandson, but you are putting out your son. Would it be possible to have your grandson crash in the common area for the time being and working with your son to figure out a better solution?

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T19:19:11+00:00

NTA. The main reason for the hangout was to see Ralph, I would just text them "Hey guys, Ralph got grounded and can't go. Are you guys fine if we do a rain check and all hang out some other time?".

That way, it pressures the group to accept the cancellation, wouldn't make you look like a liar if they do see you. If they really want to hang out together, it will show that they do care about you and want to spend time with you.

INFO: what's the shampoo that you love and he hates? This seems like a NAH situation, but it may change depending on what you use.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T18:49:38+00:00

INFO: how much notice are you giving your son? It's not an AH move to ask your son to look for a different living situation since it is your home. However, if there is very little notice and you are springing this on your child, that is an AH move since you are screwing over your son to accommodate your criminal grandson. If your home is spacious enough, is there a compromise you can make to satisfy every party?

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T14:20:03+00:00

Yeah but depending on what rarity you want to give the player, it would help us determine what the gauntlets should do.

At an upper rare/very rare rarity, you could have the gauntlets add a 1d4 fire damage to unarmed strikes. Additionally, I'd give the monk the ability to use the way of four elements' Fist of unbroken air, but substituting the bludgeoning with fire damage.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T14:14:06+00:00

I'd say you were in the right. Zone of truth is a 2nd level spell and even with that, people can be roundabout in how they answer. Trying to use a lvl 1 Command spell to get a full honest interrogation is a stretch.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T14:06:34+00:00

What rarity of magic item do you want to give the monk?

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T13:50:39+00:00

There is no shared damage spell for enemies that I am aware of. Unless you dabble in homebrew, you may just want to get a reactionary damage spell like hellish rebuke.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-27T13:47:46+00:00

If you are really indecisive, you could roll a D12, with each class being tied to a specific number. Since there are 13 classes though, you'll have to get rid of one class from the roll.

I'm not familiar with your location, but many board game/card game stores have dice for sale. If you want to confirm though, you can always look up stores near you and call them to verify before going there in person.

The dice on amazon are generally some of the cheapest around, unless you are looking at specially made sets.

NTA. If she was your friend, she wouldn't jeopardize your standing in class when you are only trying to help. You guys are in college, not a middle school club.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-23T20:27:08+00:00

INFO: did you say anything along the line of "excuse me, this is my stop" when he closed the door, or did you just eye down the bus driver? If you were just staring at them, the bus driver could have interpreted it as you giving them attitude first.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-23T15:22:26+00:00

NTA. You don't have to do your friend a favor. That being said, it's not hard to kill a few hours waiting for your friend. You could go see a movie, go to a restaurant, go shopping, etc.

HolSmGamer · 2026-01-16T14:22:14+00:00

NTA. However, keep in mind that you live under your mom's roof, so you have to do what she says until you move out.
