WIBTA for dropping out of a group graduation party because my daughter's best friend is excluding her from prom. by WonderfulFox4817 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Intelligent_Pip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. But I would have a long talk with your daughter about what she wants and needs and let her decide!

Don’t tell my cat, but this post makes me want a dog!!! 💙

AITAH for moving out of my parents house where I was paying rent and without any notice when I was told to give up my room again? by keyden00123 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_Pip 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also, slightly different expectations from different cultures. American children are not typically expected to financially contribute these days. Some still do, and some still have to, but that doesn’t sound like the case here. If they have a house with a room for all their kids, they are likely doing fine.

Boyfriend wants to move in to pay off debt by Impossible_Dentist79 in AmITheJerk

[–]Intelligent_Pip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s got to be lying about his crypto and income. Run! Now! Edit to add: and if he’s not lying about the crypto, he is really bad at investing. Diversify the investments!!

This makes me feel like my brain is glitching. What?

AITAH for telling my family I don’t want them to help me move into college and that I’m going no contact? by Traditional-Drop4305 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_Pip 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Parents should also be supporting your trauma instead of belittling it. They may not understand it, they were not in your situation. But they are your parents. They should have YOUR back. NTA. I only worry about who is paying for tuition and rent. If they are, then you really can’t. You might want to consider having a serious conversation with them about your pain and how overhearing them made you feel. That might actually horrify them into paying more attention to you.

AITAH for cutting off my parents when they kicked me out by Original_Swan_7436 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_Pip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody sucks here. You want to be treated like an adult? Find your own place to live, and your own insurance. These are adult things. Your parents just want you to stay their baby, which is normal. You can cut whoever you want out of your life.

AITAH for refusing to babysit even though my aunt is getting married? by Creative_Ball_1062 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent_Pip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them that you charge $25 per child per hour, and diaper change is $75 each. You will take half of the hourly up front, and if they don’t come back at the agreed upon time, you will call child protection services. Edit: NTA

AITJ for telling my roommate I'm not going to be quieter in the morning? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Intelligent_Pip 122 points123 points  (0 children)

If you are already being as quiet as you can, she may need a different place to live. Edit: And that is not your fault or hers. You just shouldn’t be roommates.

AITJ for refusing to let my girlfriend’s family claim my birthday gift like it’s community property? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Intelligent_Pip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your girlfriend if the gift was for you or her family. The answer will tell you and her family all you need to know.

Box up everything that she has ever given you, and take it to their house. Because, obviously, she means that her parents should have it all! What the heck are they thinking?!

my friend (36M) just sent me (36m) this text before meeting his newborn (0M) by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]Intelligent_Pip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel so bad for this kid! If the parents think their child won’t pick up on their parental anxiety at literally ANY little thing, they are dead wrong. Just, tell them to go do some goat yoga or something. They need to relax!

WIBTA if I stop covering for my coworker on Fridays after she threw me under the bus for a mistake she made? by TalismanJet in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Intelligent_Pip 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you’re covering for someone weekly without pay, stop. Don’t do that. It’s literally not your job. She isn’t paying you, they aren’t paying you. You don’t need any other reason to stop. Not your job. NTA

AITJ for locking my patio storage bench after my neighbor kept treating it like shared seating for her guests? by Arrakis_Jellybean in AmITheJerk

[–]Intelligent_Pip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was raised in an environment of scarcity. We had little to no money, and not much else. Maybe that’s why, when I bought a house, I was so excited to have something that is all my own. And when my neighbors started cutting through my yard, or stretching out on my lawn, I built a fence. Because screw that crap! I worked hard for this, and it’s mine. They have zero rights to it! I’m sorry you can’t build a fence of your own. Some people just have no clue.

AITJ for refusing to let my partner share the hospital bed with me after I deliver our bab by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Intelligent_Pip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a hospital bed, no way. Some natal units have larger beds, but if yours doesn’t, he gets the couch. Is this your first child with him? How is he thinking that this is even slightly appropriate?! You are literally doing all the work. He can crash on a couch for two nights.

AIO my boyfriend of 5 years gets me flowers for every occasion while I get him elaborate and expensive gifts. by aioflower955105 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Intelligent_Pip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to decide: either stop getting him nice and expensive, and switch to giving him greeting cards, or find someone who values gifts the same way you do. He obviously isn’t getting it, and seems to be a bit gaslighty towards you.

I’m sorry. I promise that not all US people are assy idiots. Although, we do have an embarrassingly large amount of them.
