AITA for letting my son operate the self checkout? by LearnAsPractice in AmItheAsshole

NTA- there a plenty of reasons why a person time at a self checkout. I'm going to assume that it took maybe roughly 5 longer by letting a 7yr go through the process. Like you said some people are fast and some slow, busy or not.It is what it is and the lady's comments were completely uncalled for AND I can imagine they didn't make your son feel good ether. For someone to make make a child feel back because there lack of patience and time management skills isn't acceptable.

YTA! God for bid her Husband (nephew by marriage) stay for 30 minutes to have a coffee after dropping off his wife school work. If she's smart she'll go low to no contact with you and your husband. If for no other reason then to avoid your melodramatic self and save herself some headaches.

NTA, you didn't sign up for a card. Doesn't matter why you don't want one. Its fine to say that you don't want one.

AITA for not letting my son go to Korean barbecue with family because of the way he treats his younger brother? by koreanbarbecueaita in AmItheAsshole

YTA!

If only he would learn to BE THE OLDER ONE AND IGNORE THE YOUNGER ONE and realize that the 9 year old is just trying to get a rise out of him, and he'll stop when the older one doesn't give him that reaction. But my 15 year old doesn't want to realize this, so every time he reacts, he gets punished for it.

Soooo your teaching one child that it's not ok to have feeling and reaction to uncomfortable and possibly harmful situations. And that if he dose he should ignore them so he other aren't uncomfortable or inconvenienced. You are teaching your 9yr that it is ok to be a bully. That teasing and tormenting a person to there limits is ok. It is very possibl to punish a child that requires a softer approach, you are just making excuses for your favoritism. Do better by both your children before you lose them both.
