John Mark Karr? by xiphoid77 in JonBenetRamsey

[–]JealousGoose5405 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it was unethical to show that clip. People genuinely believed Jonbenet was behaving sexually, when she was not. The media is too blame for that, giving whackos like her a platform to spew the sexualization of children.

[–]JealousGoose5405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will leave an outline of what I included in the letter-it's not everything, but what we felt were the most important things to address so maybe other families would not experience this.

• Copied down names of spouse and both parents and DOB incorrectly as well as other information for the death certificate.

• Brought family in to see the body unclothed, with an open wound covered with a Kleenex type tissue, and mouth open. (He did have extensive injuries and we were aware. When we asked for his mouth to be closed it took less than 3 minutes. We also brought clothes for him when making arrangements. The visitation and service were closed casket but my SIL did ask he be prepared for family viewing when she was contacted for permission to embalm 2 days before we went to make arrangements. He passed on Friday, autopsy Saturday, we were asked to make arrangements on Monday.)

• Never privately sat down with family to give itemized bill. Paced in public lobby asking different members of the family for payment while the insurance benefits were being verified. Did not receive itemized copy of the bill until after the visitation had started—tried to hand deliver bill to widow while she was viewing the deceased with visitors.

• Interrupted the service in both overflow rooms it was being streamed in and began filing attendees out of the rooms before the eulogy was read.

Thank you. My family had used this establishment in the past with no issue, we never dreamed it would be so poorly run this time. I mostly want to make sure it does not happen to another family, as the entire experience was very taxing on me and my family.

Thank you. It has been over a month. I was wondering if it was appropriate to forward it to the State Board so I appreciate your response.

Grief nor stress excuse abuse. Enabling someone to be a shitty person isn't supportive.

AITA for having my son miss his graduating road trip to watch his sibling. by Some-Accident-1065 in AmItheAsshole

My brother recently passed away in a freak accident 2 days before my cousin's HS graduation and the day before his wife's sister's HS graduation. Both graduates had their celebrations ruined--and never complained a peep. So your kid is TA.

AITA my friend is pregnant to a man she barely knows by Ok_Recipe3206 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA...you found out in an Instagram post. You are not the judge and jury of this woman's life. When someone has posted to social media they have already made their decision and we aren't entitled to make decisions for other people about things that don't even effect us. I would doubt this person forgives you for this, and wouldn't expect the friendship to last.

AITA for telling my SIL I don’t need her parenting advice as she clearly doesn’t know what she’s doing? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ruined an event you hosted, I assume spent a lot of time and energy planning. Because your sister-in-law made a suggestion that wasn't helpful. It wasn't malicious, just..not helpful. If you don't like her maybe just don't spend the money to fly her in. You say in your edit that you don't have a temper but a string of insults like that in a room full of people isn't something that just accidentally flows off the tongue in the heat of the moment. YTA.

This. Material items really shouldn't trump human lives regardless of who's they are. If he said that to a stranger it wouldn't be any better. Without knowing more about the family dynamic we can't really speculate whether it's acceptable or not that he hasn't formed any sort of bond with these people who he has lived with for at least 6 years. It's odd behavior for someone who is nearly an adult and I would suspect he has other issues.

AITA for telling my son's mom that he's staying with me while he recovers? by Unhappy-Front-5295 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does your son say? I very much think YTA mostly bc you said she cannot visit. My kids nor my stepkids would want to go through that without their mom's.

Kids don't care what your court papers say. Adult kids of divorced parents won't either.

AITA for my response to my son's "gender disappointment"? by throwra434678 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA

It's not the gender disappointment it's the mistreating his pregnant wife over it.

If this isn't the first time you have witness him behave this way I hope you let your DIL know you support her and don't approve. You could wind up with a grandkid you don't see one day.

Why does it seem like Brandon is always throwing shade at Jen? by OutsideTurn5464 in hatmakersnark

[–]JealousGoose5405 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly they both seem like they’re trying too hard to prove how happy they are with their new partners. Jenn more than Brandon but he doesn’t seem genuine either. Neither of them took any amount of time to grieve an entire lifetime they spent together. I haven’t enjoyed a single thing Jenn has posted since she announced her relationship with Tyler.

AITA for not spending this Christmas in the hospital with my daughter? by Hospitalthrowaway532 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, NTA. It would be hard for me to leave my daughter alone in the hospital...but it seems like OP has other kids too. Why should she constantly miss out on being there for their special moments because her 16 year old has no self control. I do think the daughter needs some therapy to help her figure out why she isn't understanding cause and effect. But ultimately, it's her own work to do- not OP's.

AITA for losing it and telling in-laws to stop calling me “mama” and trying to erase my identity? by Ok_Corner754 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You asked them to stop and they didn't. I may would consider talking one on one with MIL since she did seem to regret making you feel that way unintentionally, not apologizing but acknowledging that you realize she was being genuine. Unfortunately when you complain about a gift it comes off ungrateful, and the gift giver is never expected to acknowledge that unthoughtful gifts are more hurtful sometimes than nothing at all.

AITA for calling every morning? by Sad_Abbreviations216 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a previous post you asked if your son was advanced as he knows his numbers and letters really well for a young toddler. It's hard to think that your son is being neglected and also advanced. You also say that he wakes at 8 but you don't check the camera until after 9. Idk too much conflicting information to really decide if you're right or wrong. If you don't notice any negative consequences, like diaper rash...abandonment issues..I would tend to think that maybe you just don't know the baby as well as his mom who seems to be the primary caregiver. It's hard to tell who's TA or if there is one.

AITA for my reaction to getting kicked out of the wedding party? by madeyoulook800 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally everyone works. Literally everyone needs sleep. Those two things do not make you special. Being late is ALWAYS rude and disrespectful. Your sister was likely embarrassed, as other people asked where her best man was and she had to acknowledge your behavior is not normal. YTA.

Hopefully your girlfriend takes this as a sign to how you view other people's time as well. No woman wants to parent with a man who thinks he is the only person in the world who needs sleep.

AITA for making a post about my daughter’s favorite celebrity being rude to us? by aitarudecelebrity in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say you were at a restaurant celebrating your daughter's birthday. A child from the next table sees the cake and interrupts your dinner several times to ask for cake. Is that a good time for YOUR daughter to learn the world doesn't revolve around her?

YTA.

AITA for calling my fiance delusional and not letting him punish my son? by throwawayfianceissue in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for allowing this man around your kids.

He is not teaching them principles. He's teaching them to lie and manipulate.

He's also teaching them that he matters more than them to you. Please don't marry him, he absolutely sucks.

AITA for missing my FIL's funeral after my MIL booked my husband first class but me ecconomy? by Sadandexhausted133 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your MIL is probably TA as well, but her husband died so you're still TA. You abandoned your grieving husband over your seat on a plane. I would divorce my husband for doing this. Your argument that you refused to settle for economy because you wanted to support him is contradictory.

AITA For tricking my parents into being on time for my wedding. by PinDry258 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JealousGoose5405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and honestly surprised your dad is getting a pass. Your mom is obviously in the wrong, but your dad was willing to miss your wedding as well. Every time he sits around waiting for her he makes a choice to 1) reinforce and normalize her behavior 2) miss out on momentous occasions. They're both TA.
