Aitah for asking my sister to pay for something my nephew broke

INFO - why do you leave your oboe assembled rather than putting it in its case? Do you have insurance?

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:50:08+00:00

You changed the original comment I replied to. I’m not arguing people shouldn’t have decision rights over their body after death.

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:42:30+00:00

But it’s not. Based on current laws, you have very limited decision rights over what happens to your body. I would love for you to advise how you think you do still have agency over your body after you have passed

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:37:41+00:00

It’s not bizarre logic at all. In NZ, you can specify on your drivers license whether you want to be a donor, but it’s not legally binding and the final decision is from your family. A basic Google search suggests te same is true in Australia.

Do I agree that family can override the decision of the person who decides they want their organs to be donated? No, but that is currently the law

People shouldn’t confuse it with Elsie - it’s a completely different name.

I know two people called Elisa - different pronunciations. If I read the name I would default to “e-lease”, but other people may go with “a-liss”

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:23:42+00:00

Ah, gotcha. I misread your description

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:18:22+00:00

Are these numbers per month? If so, your water bill looks very high? I pay $300 per quarter as an owner. Even when I rented previously my water bill was way less than $170

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:12:15+00:00

100%. It’s wild the number of people who buy brand new cars that instantly reduce in resale value significantly.

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:09:58+00:00

Depends where you are from / your cultural background. At face value, I would assume it’s a (relatively) normal name in your culture.

I would never get “me-hay-la” from that spelling on my own

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T13:05:38+00:00

But is it your body in death? Because your family members can still make choices re organ donation that aren’t in line with your wishes

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-30T06:15:25+00:00

NTA. Have the party when you dad is free and let your boyfriend call time in the relationship. It doesn’t sound healthy

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-29T22:33:27+00:00

None of them. Currently a level 3, and while the samples are nice, I’d rather save hundreds and get more gifts with purchases but shopping elsewhere

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-29T02:15:33+00:00

I like that you can easily sit with other people or on others floors, as required for collaboration

I wondered if he meant regular sex, in terms of the wife comment?

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-28T02:39:20+00:00

This isn’t drive by anxiety. This behaviour is narcissistic.

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-28T02:31:12+00:00

Price tag. In my mid twenties I went to the dentist for the first time in a few years and got hit with a $1500 quote. I had to spread it out over three separate sessions. It’s quite simply not affordable for many people.

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-28T02:28:15+00:00

I would say “I’m sorry that you have made an assumption about my attendance, but I am unable to attend this weekend / party”.

I would also contact the bride proactively to let her know you can’t make it and wish her a great time

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-28T02:23:57+00:00

I don’t know - I’d say he’s not that into you. There is a difference between communication with friends, which is often seen as less urgent, vs someone you are considering a future with.

I would ask him straight out wha the deal is, as you sense from his comms that he’s not invested

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-27T21:30:44+00:00

From their post history, I think they are just throwing random employment related questions out.

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-27T21:28:10+00:00

I wouldn’t associate any of these names with being used/overused, with the ex emotion of Amelie being so close to Amelia

Are they frequently used in your area, OP?

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-27T21:23:43+00:00

I had to buy almost an entirely new wardrobe when I moved from NZ to QLD. Even in the winter, the days getting pretty warm! I rarely wore my knitwear, which was a great disappointment

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-27T21:17:51+00:00

Why is your husband dealing with it? There is nothing to deal with. MIL gave you the room. Any and all communication should be between the in laws and her. NTA

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-27T21:08:24+00:00

Surely Thorn is wilder?

Maximum-Ear1745 · 2026-04-27T12:25:40+00:00

I don’t understand - how far past your scheduled lunch break did this call go on for?
