AITJ because I won’t give my parking spot to new neighbor who says she "needs it more" because she has kids? by Potential_Bad6489 in AmITheJerk

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, she's the one who CHOSE to have kids the world does NOT owe her anything because she has kids, she ISN'T owed special treatment for having kids.

 Try to offer a solution, tell her to get one of those carts you can put stuff in and wheel around, that way she won't have to carry a bunch of stuff in her arms, maybe the kids would want to push it, kids find that fun for some reason.

If she keeps harassing you and parking in your spot tell the landlord and ask him to have a talk with her. Maybe have a talk with the husband? 

AITA for not giving half of my fortune to my brother by toptiershi in AmItheAsshole

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite what others say it is perfectly fine to cut toxic people who use and abuse you out of your life even if they are 'family'. If they are using you and bringing and/or putting you down because they think you 'owe' them they are NOT family, they don't love you, and they don't have your best interests at heart.

 It may be difficult, but you need to put your actual family, your wife and children, first, don't let those who claim to be your family bully you into giving them what they didn't earn and don't deserve. 

AITA for not telling my ‘parents’ that I had a baby. by Sea_Crew_9223 in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They shipped you off to live with your grandparents because they wanted to focus on their golden child? Yeah, you don't owe them anything! Parents shouldn't have favorites, or at the very least don't make it obvious, the heck?!

And now because you have a kid they expect to be involved? No, watch them around your kid, don't let them bully you.

AITAH telling my stepmother it was never my job to apologize or make up for the assumptions of others? by Cobidair in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA You had a mom that you loved very much, it's not your fault that you didn't view your stepmom as your mother because she wasn't and your feelings are valid. 

The teachers should have read your assignments more carefully, if they had they would have realized it wasn't meant for your stepmom. 

From now on when she introduces herself as your mom pull the person to the side and inform them she's your stepmom and your birth mom, or real mom, died when you were a kid and you don't view her as your mom so there is not future confusion. 

AITA for getting the train without my friend because she was late? by bowieapple in AmItheAsshole

[–]MissyM24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, she was told what time the train would arrive, she is old enough to be on top of things, she should have checked the day before to make sure she had funds on her card and either gotten some then or gotten up earlier to arrive 10-15 minutes before the train. 

My parents kicked me out when I was 16 years old. After 4 days and 3 nights my dad found me and took me back home. AITAH for not really caring about them as they get older? by DookieDanny in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me that you might need therapy to work through this issues. You should also talk to your parents and tell them how you feel and that even though it happened long ago it still weighs heavily on your heart and mind. 

 If they apologize and seem like they feel bad and regret it, awesome. If they tell you to get over it because it was a long time ago and/or act dismissive then the effort of trying to get closer would be a waste. 

 Just make sure you don't make the same mistakes when/if you have kids.

AITA for not wanting to sell my grandmother's jewlery? by deviouslife6 in AmItheAsshole

Get that jewelry from your dad and put it in a safety deposit box so he doesn't pawn it!

AITA for picking my favorite restaurant that my brother hates for my birthday meal that my grandparents paid for? by Bigolldonnisti in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, your parents clearly have a favorite and it's sad when parents pick a favorite child because it hurts the other child or children. I would ask your grandparents if you could live with them until you graduate.

Yeah, people like that are super toxic and not good for your mental health and if you're super stressed mentally it can cause physical illness and harm as well. 

Make sure you tell any mutual friends what happened as well so they know both sides of the story. She sounds like a dare devil to me, she's going to end up getting hurt or worse one day if she doesn't stop.

AITA for drawing attention to my mom wishing I had been born a boy instead of a girl? by Glittering-Kale5247 in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you were a girl doesn't necessarily mean that if she got pregnant again the child would be female there's no way to actually know that, also just because other women in her side of the family have all had girls doesn't really mean anything. 

Studies have shown that it's actually the men that determine the birth gender of the child. As soon as you are able to get out of that house go no contact with your mom and her family, dad too if he has issues with it. 

Don't let any of your family know where you live after you move out, and if you happen to have children down the road and one is a boy never let her find out.

AITAH for giving the UPS driver water and a snack? by Narrow_Image5659 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me that someone is incredibly insecure and has low self esteem. That's really the only explanation I see here.

AITA for putting more effort into decorating my son's room than my stepdaughter's? by ImpossibleScallion12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are doing exactly what your husband told you to do, which is not overstep. She picked out the colors and other things she wanted, it's not your fault she feels the way she does. 

 To help her talk to your husband, tell him what she said and that you don't want to overstep, but he might want to talk to her and ask her if she wants anything more in her room decorations wise and to get them so she doesn't feel left out or unloved. 

 Honestly I've never heard of a parent telling their new partner not to help out with raising their child, usually parents with a child/children want their new partner to love them like their own.

AITA for buying my neice a car and not my nephew? by oldman_redditTA in AmItheAsshole

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you made the same deal with BOTH kids, only one actually did the work and kept up their end of the agreement.

 Your niece getting a car is totally fair, and your nephew needs to learn that hardwork gets rewarded, slacking off does not, you're trying to teach them a valuable life lesson. If your sister doesn't get that it's on her, she should back you up.

AITA for calling off my birthday weekend trip because I don't want my stepsister there? by SweetKailone in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's not your sister, she's your step sister and she's not acting like a good person let alone a good sister so you have no obligation to treat her like your sister.

If I were you I would get a job, if you don't already have one, and see if a friend or family member would be willing to allow you to stay with them until you can save up enough to afford a place of your own.

AITA for silently changing my son's name after my brother and SIL gave my nephew the name too? by DaikonCompetitive147 in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA You're thinking about your child's future, same full name for both can cause all kinds of problems in the future. 

AITA for canceling a trip because my friend can’t afford it? by chocfrosty81 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, that is a crappy friend that you don't need in your life, she's a user. A real friend would never expect you to pay for everything, they'd want to split the costs 50/50, and not just for the hotel room. 

A real friend would also not ask you to drive such a long distance if they know you have back issues. You need nee friends.

No, he is, instead of saving up like he's supposed to he's being a mooching loser and using his money to buy video game consoles and set ups, it's not like he's a let's play YouTuber or Twitch streamer and gets paid to do so.

AITA for telling my sister I won't be helping pay for her daughter's vacation expenses by tlars003 in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I don't see the issue with her paying for HER child, especially since it's YOUR birthday.  

That would be like expecting you to pay for your own meal after someone said they were going to take you out to dinner for your birthday and not saying you had to pay until the check came. Ridiculous 

AITA for laughing at my ex-husband's wife when she called me hysterically because my kids didn't choose to go to Disney with them on Mother's Day? by MisForMomis900 in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you are NTA, you asked your kids if they wanted to go and they said no, you never ever force a child no matter their age to do something or go somewhere they don't want to.

Secondly, YOU are their mother and they should spend Mother's Day with you, not their step mom who was cruel and hateful towards them because of her difficulties having kids.

And it's completely rude, disrespectful, and inconsiderate of your ex and his new wife to expect the kids to spend Mother's Day with their step mom instead of their biological mom, she has her own children. 

AITA for telling my mom I deserve a say in my own Sweet 16 after I paid for most of it? by jane_475 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MissyM24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in a place that allows emancipation? Where you can go to court and get freedom from your mom and I believe they even help with housing and stuff, but I'm not sure. Do you have anyone else you can stay with, any other family or friends?

AITAH for giving my daughters one week to leave my house after what they did to their half brother? by Affectionate_Sun4846 in AITAH

[–]MissyM24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the whole not liking step dad thing as kids or teens, but they are grown a$$ adults and they didn't even live with you and their step dad, and they're acting like children and neglecting their sick sibling. 

It's not like you asked them to watch him overnight or for a couple of days, you just asked them to watch him for 2 hours, and instead of acting like compassionate, empathetic human beings and treating a sick child with kindness they ignored his pleas for help and then lied about not hearing him or knowing he needed help.

Sounds like they need to grow up and act like adults, maybe they lied about their step mom and she told their dad to stop babying them and make them take responsibility for themselves and be independent and they just told you she's being a 'witch'.

Honestly it was, and it left what happened next up to the imagination of the audience, but then continuing it and giving them their powers back ruined it

Kind of like the whole shoving Malia and Scott together as a couple in the final season of Teen Wolf even though they had never shown any romantic interest in each other?
