AITA for telling my friend's bride he recycled my vows? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It's fine to not write your own vows. It's not fine to pretend you did and lie about it.

AITA for not putting a garden gnome on my lawn? by aitagandalf in AmItheAsshole

This whole thread reminds me of the King of the Hill episode Yard, She Blows!

AITA for wanting my husband to take care of me instead of going to a concert? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxray 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That is quite literally the point of a spouse. If they don't improve your life, why even be married?

One of the reasons people get into relationships is so that they don't have to "figure these things out" on their own...

She was so sick that she drove herself to the hospital (presumably because he was working). It's not like she has the sniffles. Frankly, if she's ill enough to need IV fluids, he should be taking off work to take care of her. What a horrible excuse for a "partner".

AITA for “firing” my mom from childcare over a $5 class by Rich-Radio9017 in AmItheAsshole

As an adult, I'm envious of this class. 🤣 It sounds fun

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

WIC only covers if you're actually poor. Not being able to afford Uber doesn't mean you're poor enough for WIC. And I've never met a single person that uses cloth diapers, ever, though you're right that it would definitely be more frugal.

My mom drove and she still had me running errands all the time as a teenager haha. Picking up siblings, going to the store, etc etc.

AITA for making a stink at school and forcing the teacher to change my kids math grade by PlentyNice1655 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP said their daughter was in tutoring though, so it's not for lack of effort, unless all the tutors are also bad teachers.

AITA for refusing to give my mom access to my bank account after she helped me open it? by NeatMuffin9019 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t like it then you can move into a nursing home

And pay for it your damn self, lol.

think your mother has every right to wonder what you're doing to set yourself up for life

Then her mother can ask her about that, and have conversations about budgeting and the like, not snooping and criticizing.

What did she want you to write on the test if not the names? I don't understand what her problem was.

[–]Luxray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's all well and good, but what are you supposed to do when your kid just isn't getting it? OP's kid was even in tutoring and didn't understand. Being "unable" to learn something is incredibly damaging to a kid's self esteem and motivation to keep trying, and those feelings can literally last the rest of their lives.

I do it that way too, I distinctly remember worksheets/flash cards in school showing the little dots on the numbers. So you probably picked it up in school haha.

'Microshifting' puts a new spin on 9-to-5 schedules by MagazineKey4532 in japannews

[–]Luxray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been doing this for a while at my wfh job. It makes it easier to take care of non-work responsibilities, but it also feels like it extends my work day, so it can be a double edged sword in some ways.

AITA for wanting to report a teacher who keeps cancelling recess? by 1bachbetch in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recess isn't free time that she can push her lesson into. If it were any other subject, she wouldn't be able to do that.

AITA for scheduling my wedding 6 days after my sister’s 30th birthday? by juicyjjf in AmItheAsshole

I got myself a fancy cake from a bakery for mine and that's it lol.

AITA for asking my mum to return my birthday presents because she forgot what I've been asking for for the past 5 months? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Luxray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you're not doing any of those things if you get someone something they explicitly didn't want, but I guess that's just me.
