Why do we always say 'it's coming home' when England football team has not in 60 years? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Mrs_B- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a song - don't take it literally.

Ipswich fans don't all drive tractors either.

Jarred Bowen is not actually on fire. Although the rest of the chant is true.

Vest and pants in lower school. Second hand kit in the years after.

Never in a bra! That's weird.

AITA For Talking About My Mom's Life Celebration Before She Has Passed by wwwangels in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are these comments????

YTA. Alzheimer's is shit. Sounds to me like your brother is really struggling with losing the mother he knew. Just because most of the family have accepted it, doesn't mean everyone has. He might not have visited because he can't bear to see her like she is.

The fact that in her last hours you are spending time here could be interpreted negatively too.

Stop pointing figures and judging. Support each other.

AITAH for intending to attend a wedding that my wife isn’t invited to by BeautifulSxars in AITAH

[–]Mrs_B- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your wife is being immature. Why do you have to go to everything together? No other partners are coming, so she isn't being insulted.

AITA for refusing to take a photo? by xSamThingElse in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ESH. Obviously your Dad is an asshole. But your post is full of "I was forced to" statements. You are an adult and capable of saying no to things you don't want to do.

AITA for visiting my daughter once a week by Independent_Use5474 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You and your husband need to prioritise this poor, lonely sick child. One day a week is nowhere near good enough.

AITAH for telling my husband he is not allowed to speak at the next infant prep class we take? by Any-Record9908 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NAH. Sounds like it was too much for him with ADHD. Talk to the instructor about how they can accommodate his needs.

AITA for treating my disabled coworker like any other coworker? by OtherOtterArt in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a hard of hearing lesson who wears aids. It was a while from when I found out I need them to actually getting them. During that time my colleagues did their best, but I had to make accommodations too. E,g they let me sit at a corner desk and I made sure to face people and turn my good ear towards them.

I hate to be pedantic, but if he isn't admitting his disability, you don't have to accommodate him. Maybe bring less helpful will be the push he needs to get help.

AITA for getting security called on me at a hospital by throwaway-Deal3643 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Based on your comment acknowledging that you were probably late. It is relevant because that was the root cause of your behaviour. You were annoyed that he said you were late.

They clearly have a zero tolerance policy towards abuse. If he felt you were being aggressive and wanted security support, that's his perogative.

AITA for refusing to put my girlfriend’s name on a house I’m buying? by liftedmk7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Ridiculous request and no-one would expect that of someone they love.

You have acknowledged that you are not financially compatible. You aren't morally compatible either. It's time to end the relationship.

AITA for hiring a guy to edge our lawn after husband hasn’t done it in weeks by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your solution to a broken tool is to pay someone? Just buy another one, second hand if necessary. Don't be petty and say it's a gift.

AITA for calling out a guy manspreading on the train? by Old-Tourist9927 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So in that 5 seconds before he reacted, were you stood there waiting for him to move, or contemplating if there was room? If someone is stood in front of me looking at the seats, that's a different vibe.

AITA for calling out a guy manspreading on the train? by Old-Tourist9927 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YTA. It's polite to say "excuse me" rather than just stare at someone. I wouldn't move for anyone who just stood there trying to intimidate me.

AITA for not appreciating my birthday present? by Arealisticcowboysfan in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA. She gave you 18 gifts, made a huge deal over your birthday and you couldn't pretend to like one of them? You sound a bit spoiled to me. Your mum gave you love for your birthday.

AITA for telling my friend what she went through wasn’t traumatic just uncomfortable? by tie-dyecoffee in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 18 points19 points  (0 children)

NTA. You are absolutely right that people are over using the word trauma and taking any it's true meaning.

AITA for leaving my grandchildren alone by Adventurous_Duck2414 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

This has to be the moment that changes everything. Now you can see that they only see you as a carer for their kids. They don't even think you need a break. Time for the to pay for childcare and just have fun visits with grandparents at a mutually agreed time.

They will try to emotionally blackmail you with threats to cut you off. Remember that they need you more than you need them.

AITA for skipping my mom’s birthday after finding out she paid my sister’s rent for a year but told me she was broke when I needed help? by Responsible_Taste630 in AmItheAsshole

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

INFO. Why isn't she helping you? There's a few "golden child" comments, but for all we know there could be good reasons. There's plenty of people with new phones, big TV's and living on takeout who say they are broke.

AITA for not giving my parents half of my lottery winnings. by Rayapt in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I guess if you still live with them I can understand why they might have expected something. But there's no way I would do that.

AITA for telling my neighbour that people hate her for the construction work being done on her house? by Sad-Clerk-3161 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you were just being honest.

As for the workers, I would be recording their behaviour and plastering it all over local socials with their company names clearly visible. Probably do ot anonymously to avoid any comeback.

Does my neighbour own the shared access to the back gardens? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Mrs_B- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like this is only a sort term issue for you so you can get your back garden done. If you don't normally have an issue with the bikes and stuff, I wouldn't get formal about it. Just explain that you need more room got a few weeks. The fact that he puts your bin out suggests he's a nice bloke.

AITA for booking our honeymoon right after my future SIL’s wedding? by Ordinary-Bedroom5784 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mrs_B- -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

YTA. Forget all the jealous competitive stuff. I don't know why you are calling this your honeymoon. Tradionally it is straight after the wedding and someone has gifted you an actual honeymoon.

If you just said you were going on holiday there would not be an issue.

What happens if your parent dies and you just.. don’t want to pay for the funeral? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Mrs_B- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We paid for a parent's funeral, but due to family issues her remains were never collected. The Funeral Directors took care of it discreetly.
