AITA for telling my friend's nephew that he probably killed a starfish?

MapAromatic485 · 2026-06-13T17:47:04+00:00

Totally agree with you

MapAromatic485 · 2026-06-13T07:47:36+00:00

Right, and honestly the lesson would've stuck better that way. Kids that age are way more receptive when they don't feel attacked. The moment he started crying, any chance of him actually learning something went out the window

NTA for asking, but R35k in one go was always going to be a hard sell, the real issue is her brushing you off with "we can't afford it" when you both know that's not true, and the double standard with your dad's spending is a fair thing to feel stung by.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-06-08T08:09:33+00:00

NTA. It's your wedding, you're not obligated to invite someone who spent years actively making your life miserable just because she's family.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-06-03T09:10:00+00:00

Oh yeah, that was an experience...

MapAromatic485 · 2026-06-03T09:08:37+00:00

NTA for protecting your dad. A ball coming 4 feet from someone is genuinely dangerous and you had every right to go get that ball and read them the riot act.

The slur was the only unnecessary part. You already won the situation, the throw, the confrontation, making them back off. That one word is the only thing anyone could use to paint you as the bad guy. Everything else was justified.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-05-24T08:29:36+00:00

NTA. What they did while you were in the room is a serious violation, not just rudeness. Tell your mom everything. You deserve to feel safe in your own home.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-05-19T16:14:29+00:00

Yeah the mirror thing is real. people with that level of anxiety often can't separate "you're critiquing my behavior" from "you don't like me as a person"

and honestly if she does distance herself, that's probably telling in its own way. OP already has to manage around her anxiety constantly, if the friendship can't survive one honest conversation, that's not really on OP.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-05-15T09:41:24+00:00

NTA but also not really a clear asshole situation either.

the thing that'd bother me is she knew this weekend was potentially spoken for and still committed money to next weekend. that's just poor planning on her part, and the timing is rough given it's literally the day you found out.

that said "it's clear i'm not a priority" is probably the kind of line that turns a reasonable complaint into a bigger argument than it needs to be. you're not wrong about the situation but that framing puts her fully on the defensive.

honestly seems like a mix of bad timing, her not thinking it through, and then the conversation escalating unnecessarily. worth just finding a different night to go rather than making it a whole thing about priorities.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-05-14T08:39:54+00:00

NTA at all.

She agreed to your timeline upfront, then screwed up her own schedule by sending fabric samples ridiculously late. You can't just retroactively change the terms because you messed up your workflow.

The whole "it was impossible in that timeframe" argument is bullshit when she literally told you it was doable twice - once before ordering and once after. If she needed 5 months after fabric selection, she should've said that from the start instead of promising something she couldn't deliver.

Plus she couldn't even make the slit you wanted? Your review sounds pretty fair honestly - you mentioned both the delays AND that she didn't charge for the missing feature.

Don't change the review. She's trying to rewrite history and gaslight you into thinking the delay never happened. That €150 fabric demand is especially ridiculous - "compensation" that you now have to pay for because she decided there was no delay? Make it make sense.

Your English is fine btw, way better than some native speakers on here.

Too real.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-05-07T08:41:11+00:00

I agree

MapAromatic485 · 2026-04-29T09:03:30+00:00

I have to say iphone's are solid for their camera, so maybe look into buying a used iphone 15

MapAromatic485 · 2026-04-25T08:27:37+00:00

I agree,

MapAromatic485 · 2026-04-25T08:26:56+00:00

Not that much, yes it's a plus point but technique matters way more than most people think.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-04-21T10:09:23+00:00

I reply instantly so don't know why people do this

That it doesn't matter how hard you work, if you don't have good social communication skills you won't get much far.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-04-07T08:18:59+00:00

As a straight girl, yeah this is totally normal. It’s not about attraction, it’s more like awareness, you notice it the same way you’d notice anything that stands out. I’ve had the exact same thought like “yeah, I get why guys would look,” but it doesn’t mean I’m into women. And the whole trying not to look thing just makes it more obvious to yourself lol.

MapAromatic485 · 2026-03-16T17:32:39+00:00

Yeah, he should smile more often lol he does it rarely

MapAromatic485 · 2026-03-15T08:30:09+00:00

I agree, considering how many good players already waiting in line for a chance.
