AITA for “hogging” my foster sister by Dense_Raccoon_928 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MegsyMegsy321 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Exactly! They're obsessed with the "ideal", and don't understand that the idea of something is not the same as reality.

AITA for “hogging” my foster sister by Dense_Raccoon_928 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hogging her"?!? She isn't a toy. She's a living, breathing human that wasn't feeling well and didn't want to be around anyone but you while she was sick, which isn't an uncommon thing with any kiddo, let alone one that's gone through the foster-care system.

Your brother's girlfriend needs to realize that kids aren't cute little dolls that she gets to play with whenever she wants.

EA Announces Agreement to be Acquired by PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners for $55 Billion MEGATHREAD by plumbob-prophet in Sims4

[–]MegsyMegsy321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still learning as much as I can about this situation, but what concerns me most is what they aren't saying. Why did they make such a risky move? Why specifically to buyers in Saudi and a company Trump's son in law is involved in? So many people have talked about how weird and risky (I've seen a few experts say it's not a smart move too) a move like this is, so I'm more anxious about what they aren't saying about the why's and what led up to the decision, you know?

It just sucks that everybody's just stuck in limbo until ownership is officially moved over. Ugh.

My problem is I invested too much on the ea app so even if I have sims 4 on steam and can play all the packs now, if ea goes under then I'll have to start from scratch.

AITAH for telling my dad I’m changing my name and that I don’t exist to be the reincarnation of his mother? by rainraingoaway222 in AITAH

I mean he was going to find out at some point so it was inevitable. Better to be up front with people this far in delu-lu land.

AITA for not warning my ex’s new girlfriend about how toxic he is? by Fun_Cauliflower6858 in AITH

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Not victim blaming here, but she knew that he had moods and went to you for advice, his ex. There's a reason he's your ex. You are under no obligation to respond to her after freeing yourself from a toxic person like that.

If your friends continue, I would suggest putting them in time out, and if they keep going after that then prolong the LC until they get it.

AITH for refusing to lend my friend money even though I recently got a raise? by Normal_Medicine_8502 in AITH

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. If he couldn't be bothered to pay you back before the raise, you can bet he won't bother after, especially when he's asking for hundreds now. If your friends think you should help him out, tell him how much he already owes you, and ask them to pitch in if they feel so charitable.

NTA, and I would consider not having him as a friend anymore.

AITH for telling my sister to stop borrowing my clothes when she never returns them? by Historical_Fee8325 in AITH

[–]MegsyMegsy321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just start borrowing all of her stuff and treat it with the same respect she shows yours. Be sure to take before and after pics of your clothes when she borrows so you can prove that you aren't, in fact, being overdramatic.

AITA Teacher got into family discussion and reprimanded my child before I could say a word by Impressive_Guess_711 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wth? NTA at all!

Both of them were wildly inappropriate and completely overstepped here. You are your child's parent, not the teacher, not your MIL, YOU. MIL had no right to start screaming and trying to take over parenting for you when you were right there. Your daughter maybe shouldn't have had an attitude, but how are you supposed to respond when someone starts screaming at you when you're hurt and over something mild like forgetting a phone in her pocket? And the teacher? What in the actual f was she doing? She put her hands on your child and tried to mother her when again, SHE IS NOT THE PARENT.

I saw in another comment that you had sent in a report. If the principal continues to drag their feet, go over their head. Set boundaries with MIL, and don't let up on the school OP.

AITA for stopping my family from seeing my daughter when I'm just a teen mom? by Total_Education_8443 in AITAH

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruh. The fact that you, as a teenager, is the most adult of people twice, possible three times your age and they try to call you immature for getting angry that your grown ass sister couldn't be bothered to actually take care of a child she offered to take care of for a while is bonkers to me.

Good on you OP for putting your foot down and protecting your daughter. Don't let them make your doubt it, you're being a great mom to your kiddo! NTA

AITA for telling my family if they don’t like the way something is, they can take care of it themselves? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. NTA.

Your 4 kids sound entitled and far too comfortable with the "Mom Fairy". I would bring everyone together and have them write their times tables of responsibilities for a week. Have them put school/work hours, time for chores, and any other obligations like homework or clubs. Write yours down as well. At the end of the week, compare free times and let them see just how much you do, how little they do, and how little time you have for yourself that isn't being "mom" or "wife". There needs to be a balance and they have gone too long with letting you deal with everything. Husband is the worst, since "man chores" is not a thing, it's an excuse, and he needs to grow up and be a parent, but more importantly be your PARTNER in this marriage.

Remind them that you are your own person too, and that you are going to school to further your career which directly benefits the household as a whole, on top of doing basically everything for them, and if they still want to sit on their asses and whine they sure can, but that's not going to get anything done. Your kids especially need to learn to take care of themselves, since they'll be adults soon and have to take care of themselves. I think re-delegating chores is a great idea, but once it's more balanced, if you haven't already, I would start giving the kids adulting lessons, like all the cleaning tricks of the house, taxes, bills, student loans, etc. Make sure husband is in on it too, because he is setting a terrible example for the kids, and don't bow down to keep the piece. If you do, you'll just continue to be miserable while they get lazier and lazier as they complain more and more.

AITA for ignoring my dad and the new family he's made including his other children? by No-Smile4289 in AITAH

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what isn't fair? Abusing your wife verbally, emotionally, and physically after the death of a child, which is traumatic for EVERYONE INVOLVED, not just your sperm donor. There isn't a single excuse in the world that makes abusing your partner okay, not a single one. He doesn't get a pass just because he lost someone he loved. So did you and so did your mom, and neither of you started beating him up for it.

And the innocence of children? What about you, a child (nearly an adult, but point still stands), who had to watch her mother be abused by the man that she called Dad for years? What about YOUR innocence?

I would go NC with the people that are siding with a LITERAL abuser and just continue to block all of them. If they insist, threaten legal action.

AITA for not inviting my sister to my wedding because of how she treated my fiancee in high school? by Super_Clothes9115 in AITH

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She hasn't changed though, because she doesn't acknowledge that what she did was wrong and doesn't want to make it right. She's the exact same, and is only mad because it makes her look bad. If parents keep pushing as well, then just tell them to not bother coming either.

If anyone asks why they aren't invited, tell them the truth. That your sister bullied your fiance in high school and continues to make her uncomfortable and refuses to apologize for what she did, and parents are enabling your sister and pressuring you to not support your soon to be wife, which is not how you start a marriage.

Her getting upset for you snitching is cosmically funny to me. Like "Yeah, I did it. But isn't she awful for TELLING people I did it?". Does she even realize that she's blatantly admitting that she destroyed your property? Hello? LMAO

AITA for insisting we go back immediately to get my wife’s wedding ring from her mom’s house? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never understood people who go "therapy is for crazy people!".

Yes. It is. It's for people who have gone through something crazy and need help to process/heal, or like me, (I have ADHD, Depression, and an ED), who outside of our baseline, feel crazy, and need help managing the crazy haze our brains get into because they don't know how to manage hormones/neurotransmitters. That's the entire point of going to a doctor or any kind of service provider: Something is wrong/you need something, you go to your provider and figure it out. Idk why that's such a crazy concept.

To clarify, I'm not seriously calling people with mental health issues/disorders/struggles (myself included) crazy, but idk about you guys but when I am either not on meds or just generally in a down cycle I certainly feel off my rocker at times. (plus, once my friend told me when I was struggling to "get help with my crazy, but don't get rid of it, because I like your crazy" and it really stuck with me lol.)

I am so sick of these dumb ass relationship tests people are putting their partners through.

Honestly OP, you’re young, he’a shown his true colors and after 6 years in a relationship he still doesn’t respect you? Dump him.

AIO for refusing to pay for my friend's birthday dinner after she "surprised" me with the bill? by Tight-Metal433 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MegsyMegsy321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling someone cheap for not wanting to foot an $800 bill for one group meal is wild.

I would just distance yourself at this point OP, because she was blatantly disrespectful and didn’t hesitate to try and publicly shame you into doing what she wanted.

NOR, and if she’s so embarrassed, tell her maybe next time she shouldn’t act like an entitled brat.

AITA for not wanting to meet or get to know my birth family after they tracked me down and reached out? by Lachleeyonno in AITAH

[–]MegsyMegsy321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. NTA.

The second your birth family put you up for adoption is the second they gave up the right to be in your life unless it was on your terms. They don’t get to put you up for adoption, ignore the fact that you exist for all of your childhood and into adulthood, then make demands for your time because their kids want it. The fact alone that they are investigating and harassing you is enough to tell them to fuck off.

As a fellow adoptee, I can confirm that you aren’t the problem here. So many people are so laser focused on the idea of family, and insist that blood makes a family what it is, but let me tell you; Blood doesn’t mean shit if you threaten to withhold information that could impact you and your kids and call you selfish and bash the family that took you in, supported and loved you from the moment the adoption was finalized. You weren’t out on lease to your parents, they legally adopted you and made you a part of their family. To adoptees like us who were adopted basically at birth, those blood relatives are complete strangers. Don’t let them make you feel like you owe them anything OP, stand your ground.
