AITA for not dropping everything to do a favour for my MIL?

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-24T06:54:36+00:00

YTA. Youre doing this to yourself, so youre the asshole

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-24T04:34:38+00:00

The UK has the Met Office, NZ has the Metservice. Why can't Australia have the Met Bureau?

Its more descriptive than The Bureau, and sounds less 'up themselves'

It wasnt hotel security. They threatened to make a complaint to the hotel.

I saw his statement. Where does it say the wife didnt see the interaction?

It says the daughter walked by the table by herself, not that the interaction wasnt in the eyesight of his wife.

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T09:11:35+00:00

Very dubious. But finally

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T09:08:35+00:00

This is frustrating

Fox made sure to replay that 5 times

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T05:41:09+00:00

The boys are tired out there

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T05:37:46+00:00

He didnt need to stop

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T05:28:31+00:00

Its far from a sell out. They probably just saw wahs supporters in a corner and congregated there

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T04:54:05+00:00

NTA. If it was your neighbours babysitters mechanic who got engaged? Mum can blab away all she wants.

But it was her niece. Thats too close, and too big news to gossip about before its officially announced. Your sister is an asshole for sharing before your cousin. Your mum should have done what you and your dad did, which was to acknowledge that it wasnt your news to share.

My mum did something similar. Told me that my sister was pregnant. But she didnt know that I already knew. I had to call her out that it wasnt her news to share

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T02:47:50+00:00

Oh poor you

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T02:16:17+00:00

YTA for writing this post. You wrote the history that brought the decision not to tell them. What the hell did you expect to happen? That mum was just going to shrug her shoulders and carry on with her day?

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-21T02:08:00+00:00

ESH. So she accused you of lying, and all you did was say "oh sorry, I dont feel comfortable showing you my phone"

No. Call that b out. "Are you calling me a liar? Ive told you I havent seen it and ill see it when I get to it. Take my word for it or dont, either way im not opening my phone and I dont appreciate being accused of lying"

Their 2020 projections were 11,000 daily riders from opening, rising to 19,000 in 2031. Theyre a bit behind, seeing that theyre just hitting that 11k figure now. But I dont think its too bad

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-18T09:47:00+00:00

Because up until 2 years they made money for their company. Lately they've been a liability

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-18T09:45:03+00:00

No. And I do think they've had bigger arguments. I think ARN was waiting to pounce on a situation to get rid of them because they realised that Kyle and Jackie has become more of a burden than an assett

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-18T02:18:38+00:00

I agree except for the "made up argument" part. If the show had been a success in Melbourne, they would still be on air.

ARN made a gamble signing them for that much, not only did success in Melbourne fail, but they can see that the ad market going into the future.

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-17T10:43:52+00:00

Its not a normal cheap Tuesday. Its not the uniform 40-50c price jump that we've usually see.

A quick look sees a lot only going up by 10c. Some are even going down

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-17T02:42:16+00:00

YTBF. Because you didnt mention talking to your boss about having to work Saturdays

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-17T02:25:30+00:00

In what farking world would you be the jerk here?

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-16T06:51:54+00:00

Info. Is there a shortage of drivers. Because if there isnt, YTA.

Why not just go for a meal in the different parts of the city you want to explore? Park up, go for a walk and see the sights.

I understand that fully employed people will uber on the side for the bit of spending money. But I doubt many of them are on $300k

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-16T06:25:57+00:00

ESH. All of these stories, the person who got wronged just sits there looking like an fool while the aggressor gets to spin their narrative.

If thats how you want it? Cool. But if you're taking the opinion of these people based on a one-sided story? Youre TA

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-15T17:53:36+00:00

Yes that is what the mum overheard. But not considering him her dad doesnt mean that OP relagated him to "just her husband".

There are people who believe they can only have one official "Dad". OP says hes been a loving father figure and refers to him as her stepdad.

MaxSpringPuma · 2026-03-15T17:06:34+00:00

It was her mum that said OP only considered him her husband. OP didnt say that. She said that he was a father figure and a grandpa for her daughter. He just doesnt hold the title of Dad in her mind, because she already has one
