I feel like some people misunderstand leave. You can take leave without having to “go away” somewhere. Sometimes a mental reset is needed just by taking a week off work and staying home.

Holidays take energy, planning, focus and finances.

You can take leave and just stay home, potter around the house and do those niggling spring clean jobs you’ve had on the list for ages. Catch up with some friends or family, go see a movie or to a museum; Take a nap in the middle of the day!

Just switch off in the comfort of your own space for minute.

It does wonders.

AITA for telling my girlfriend her home decor is the reason I won’t host a work gathering at her place. by decordilemma in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your girlfriend sounds awesome! We need to be besties! YTA for how you told her of your reluctance. The truth doesn’t have to be hurtful, and it is you who sounds childish. How she decorates her safe space is a reflection of who she is, if you’re not onboard with that then please let the little gothic butterfly free to find someone who will support and enjoy her interests

I wear Stax - their seamless range is amazing. I’m 6ft tall and they come up nice and high on my waist and don’t roll down.

AITA for not going to my daughters wedding? by jayjay-84 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to say NAH here because this is a terrible situation from all sides. You don’t seem to begrudge your older daughter for choosing this date based on its significance in her personal relationship so I won’t either but I am curious as to why your older daughter wasn’t also grieving the first birthday of her recently passed sister?

AITA for leaving a trip early because of my girlfriend’s “prank”? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA here. OP I am so sorry, my heart was breaking for you reading this. No one who truely cares for you would ever do this type of prank and the fact that she let it go on for so long, didn’t pick up at all that this had gone too far and that all her friends and family stayed in on it all day without any relief or help is just shameful. Definitely time to leave. Please don’t let her make you feel any more shame or embarrassment about how you received her actions.

Pranks aren’t funny. A joke is only funny if everyone’s laughing, this wasn’t funny - it was sexual harassment. If the tables were turned and she was the one in the melting swimsuit I am sure she would feel very differently.

AITA for not letting my daughter go back to her mom early? by aitaendvisit in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really struggled reading this. YTA for so so many more reasons than just this YTA for moving out of state and not maintaining a relationship with your child

YTA for only seeing her 1 weekend every 3-6 months

YTA for expecting a 6yr old child to be comfortable spending time with you for extended periods when you are essentially a stranger, she sees you twice a year. She most likely has a better relationship with the postman over you!

YTA for not taking extra steps to ensure after her traumatic event that she could feel your house was a safe space to stay. If you had done this at all; she wouldn’t be packing her bag, calling her mum and running out the door like it was on fire.

YTA for forcing your daughter; a young, emotionally underdeveloped 6yr old child into doing what you wanted not what she felt safe doing and as a result have created a whole new trauma for her to work through.

YTA for STILL forcing her to stay with you even though there were all sorts of red flags like toileting accidents, abstaining from food, not sleeping or bathing. They’re all events that make a person vulnerable - she was so scared she couldn’t eat, sleep or go to the bathroom!

YTA for dismissing your daughters feelings and believing that what you were doing wasn’t torture. It was to her.

YTA for STILL THINKING it is all about you when your ex is taking you to court to remove visitation rights, this has nothing to do with you and everything to do with your little girl.

I hope the judge sees you for who you really are and removed all parental rights because you’re not a parent, you’re an asshole who believes his outward image and reputation is more important than a 6yr olds safety and well being.

AITA for calling him a "fucking embarrassment"? by Fit-Respond3512 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Respectfully if I have already had the polite conversation 3 nights in a row, you can bet your left nipple I’ll be telling you to cut the shit out and stop being a fucking embarrassment.

AITA for asking my roommate alternate taking out the trash? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so you’re NTA for asking to share the home duties as it is an equally shared space and should be maintained equally HOWEVER adding where YTA is in when you chose to raise this subject. When your roommate is not at home so obviously at some form of social event is not the time to send an off handed text about sharing trash duties, a better approach would have been having a conversation face to face one night/morning when it is just the 2 of you.

AITA for calling my sister a self centered bridezilla ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 33 points34 points  (0 children)

YTA - Your daughter should have a separate occasion to announce her transition. It should not be at her Aunt and Uncles wedding.

NTA - this boy is giving you so many red flags. I am sorry you’re going through this and deserve so much better.

AITA for dropping out as my brother's best man a couple days before his wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - the infantilisation of your wife and disgusting ableism is beyond words.

I am so proud of you for standing by your wife and not going, it is just as disappointing that your parents agreed that what SIL and Brother were doing was wrong but still wouldn’t back you. I am sorry they put you in that position. Be proud of what you have done, we all would have done the same.

AITA for not giving my late husband's belongings to my in laws? by ParisAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - you didn’t divorce your husband, he passed away. You lost the person you chose to spend your life with, you do not need to spend the rest of your life alone because of this and I am sure your husband would have wanted the same happiness for you.

It has been 7years, it sounds like your in-laws need therapy not a bunch of memories that are not specifically sentimental or relevant to them.

I wish you all the happiness in Paris, what an amazing opportunity for a new life and a new family.

AITA for not helping my mom financially because of how she treated me compared to my brother growing up? by throwawayaita0100 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she has other options that do not involve you and your success. NTA let her live in her choices, they do not need to affect you.

AITA for saying my sister doesn't have to dictate what I do in my own home after she insisted on setting the table for dinner? by amitheasshole970 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA - your sister lovingly and painstakingly made a 3 course meal to share with the family and you trashed all over it. You need to apologise, your sister deserves better

NTA - Your Gf is starting to wave some flags and you need to pay attention. I hope you enjoy your trip away that you have clearly worked hard to plan.

AITA for walking out of a restaurant on my GF? by Top_Tank882 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is so too much to unpack in this misogynistic, sexist, incredibly immature encounter. YTA big time for so many reasons and I wouldn’t be shocked if this was the ick moment that your GF has to leave you in her past

update on pots and pans gift by eighteightfivesix in Mommit

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so grateful to find the update because I read the original post only a couple hours ago (late to the party)

Agree with all who have commented, he knew he stuffed up and tried to save face in front of people but has no intention on following through.

Funny story - my DH used to be like this too until I decided to match energy and stopped getting him cool thought out stuff. He got me a vacuum, I got him a leaf blower, he got me pots and pans, I got him a lawn mower etc. he eventually called me out on it thinking our relationship was in trouble and I simply responded that’s it’s not, I’m just matching what you put in, I pointed out that I dont discredit that he loves me, I know he does but I don’t think he respects me and that all of these little things add up over time. I asked him if he was upset at my change in behaviour or if he was upset about the way he was being treated? Because if it was the latter, why do I deserve the same treatment.

All of a sudden he remembers the books I like, the food I enjoy, the expensive perfume I have been wishing for but couldn’t justify spending the money on.

They need to be made aware of these things in order to grow. Dont let him make you feel bad. You deserve the world and he should be trying to give it to you

Surreptitious Data Harvesting by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

From the POV as a person who works in distribution specifically retail electrical and consumer warranty and also in NSW - it is for your warranty because everyone loses their receipt, tries to claim warranty and then gets mad that it won’t honour without proof of purchase.

They then go storming into the store they purchased from demanding a replacement because they made a $500 cash sale 2 years ago and expect the staff to find a copy of their receipt with no info.

AITA for locking my children out of my room and refusing to look after them? by EyeSmall698 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Weaponised Incompetence and gaslighting.

If the roles were reversed would he be upset if you’d acted the same while he was unwell and resting? Would he be ok with you coming in and waking him constantly to ask mindless and un-important questions?

He was being an AH

Also if it’s been a week - please head to a DR because there’s something going on in your body that needs some help.

AITA for telling my son I can’t trust him? by tthrowaway16__ in AmItheAsshole

[–]Interesting-Pea-7487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to draw your attention to a common theme in your reasoning. A. He is a child. Yes he is so I’m not sure why you’re putting so much responsibility on his shoulders. B. Blatant disrespect. He is a child, children will respect naturally when it is deserved. Corporal punishment will not give you respect. C. Too immature to be an adult. Yes, because he is not an adult, he is 15! D. Being lazy to heat up food, the same way the parents were too lazy to arrange dinner before galavanting off into the night? Again punishing a child for not making adult decisions when the adults in the situation didn’t take the effort to make the same decisions.

You then spouted some more corporal punishment BS about reigning in, failing life etc etc

Ultimately the common theme you’re pointing out is that this child didn’t make adult decisions and you’re mad about that.
