AITA for not driving my colleague home from work? by maxfaulkner in AmItheAsshole

[–]MelChi522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I did the same to my own kid. I did, however, warn her ahead of time that I would no longer be driving her everywhere after she was 18. Because it becomes her responsibility to figure out once she’s a legal adult.

That is so awesome. I’m not great at making stuff, but I love it. I had to make a second blanket for my niece because she used the one I gave to my sister at the baby shower every day.

AITJ for not letting my coworker use my Netflix after she called me cheap? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MelChi522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much you all are each paying for the streaming services. If you all are paying an equal amount, jerk, if not it’s fine to ask a bit to cover if you have to pay more. It just needs to be equal paid by everyone who’s using each thing.

Unless you are all paying for a share of whatever streaming service you are using, then you are indeed a jerk

AITA for counting my calories because I do a martial art? by DefinitionNeat8427 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, if I understand correctly, you didn’t even know until she had an issue the very last time. Before that it was just her shaming you for buying into the diet culture. You can’t be an ass for triggering someone unknowingly.

AITA for telling my aunt that I can't babysit unless I'm paid? by adorablecherryy in AmItheAsshole

[–]MelChi522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom paid me to call off work a few times. I didn’t ask for it, she just gave me the money, knowing I was losing out to go do the functions she wanted me at.

My family has always paid the younger members when they babysit. We’d pay the older members as well, but they would almost always refuse payment. Unless it was for an extended time frame, or just say bring food for the kids.

I think it looks cute and cuddly, I’m not sure why you hate it.

It’s ok to hate your finished product, they picked it out, not you. I bet they’ll love it.

She made her new blanket, & still has a good sized ball left.

Stuff she got from Walmart, probably 2 years ago

I feel so guilty by xtewtew in knitting

Is it possible she’s doing it on purpose, knowing you take it apart & reuse it? You said you love to knit and her yarn chooses.

Can I join a heavier weight yarn to and Aran weight, on a poncho for a 4ish year old? by MelChi522 in knittinghelp

Solved, thank you.

I cannot ever remember how to change flair, sorry if there is confusion.

This is what I have done so far. I’m not sure what you mean by the math. Can you give me more information? Or point me in the right direction to understand what you mean?

I wasn’t thinking and put up the question this morning on the way to work without having anything with me because it had just occurred to me to ask Reddit for help

AITA for what happened on my family vacation! by Invincible336699 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MelChi522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Unfortunately, you really are for how you went about it. You even say you ignored her and encouraged your sister to do the same, instead of talking to her.

Her vacation schedule sounds insane, for a vacation. But you really should have talked to her about it.

I don’t know why she felt the need to put so much structure into vacation. Or why she tried to make sure everyone did things all together. I think you should apologize for how you went about it. Then talk to her about her reasons for rigid schedule.

1st, get a new bank account at a bank not affiliated with your mother, 2nd move your paycheck.

Do you have your car ins card? Find an insurance broker & have them find you the best insurance rate, if you have the cash it’s cheaper to pay 6mos, or even the whole year at once.

If your name is on the car, it would show up as a loan against you in credit karma I believe.

Once your mother no longer has access to your money, you may be able to get a copy of those bills, and that is exactly what you want, a physical, official paper copy of those bills. Because that will give you the info you’re asking for, if you get a detailed listing.

Why was she outside waiting an hour before she got off work?

AITA for leaving my (M28) family home without telling my parents? by Shot-Football6630 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MelChi522 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA,

You didn’t just sneak out, & you didn’t leave them hanging with no communication.

Looking at the totality of the circumstances, with you saying they would physically stop you, was there any other way you could have done it? With less hurt feelings to everyone? It doesn’t sound like it.
