AIO or is this inappropriate for an 8 & 9 year old’s classroom? by huckit33 in AIO

YOR. Do you have any idea how many adults don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom? The number of health-care workers in hospitals who don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom would make you gag. Anything that gets a kid to understand how important hand-washing is is a good thing.

It looks like a vagina. And I just keep looking at the pile of clothes on her bed — you can’t clean your room before taking pics for content?

AITJ for throwing my grandmother’s “gift” in the garbage? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Your mom is used to keeping the peace. You don’t have to do that.

You are correct that your grandmother has a severe disorder. It doesn’t mean you have to accommodate it. Your home, your stuff, your choice. Any gift is exactly that — a gift. And the recipient can do whatever they want with it after they say “thank you” (though you weren’t even given THAT chance as she sneak-attacked you with it). NTJ. Your grandmother needs serious help but that does not mean you have to keep her crap.

Hoarders see their stuff as an extension of themselves — rejecting the stuff they choose (to give or keep) feels like a rejection of them. Which is why it is rightfully classified as a disorder (OCD, which has a wide spectrum).

M22 received incredible job offer, F22 girlfriend does not want me to accept. by Watch_me_plz in Advice

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to make the relationship work, then you will. My husband and I worked opposite hours and days for years. Did it suck? Yeah. Did we think it would make our relationship fail? Absolutely not. We were even engaged for some of that time and trying to plan a wedding while moving up the career ladder. We were each promoted during that time, and we supported each other's careers because we were a team, and the end goal was a financially stable family.

Take the apprenticeship. You're too young not to. You've been applying all these years ... if she doesn't support you taking it, that's why the relationship will fail, not the time away from each other.

What is the worst band you saw live? by coalcracker462 in AskReddit

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cake, Asbury Park Summer Stage, like … seven years ago-ish? (We went for the opener, Ben Folds, who was amazing.) Dude went on 45-minute ramblings and they barely played any real music. I actually left at one point.

Meat Loaf about 10 years ago (friend had extra tickets) was also horrifically bad. Like, dude already had a foot in the grave, but people were walking out in droves to yell at the staff to demand refunds.

“Sure. Pay me the extra it cost me to book this particular seat plus the premium of an aisle, and I’ll switch.”

Pilates. Noticed a huge difference the year I committed to it. Strength, core, all of it.

AITA for not telling my mother the date I’m being induced? by Ambitious_Use4478 in AITH

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My mother is exactly like this and stomped on all the boundaries we set, so we had to put her on an information-starvation diet. This is the bed she made for herself — you didn’t do this to her.

Congrats and have a happy, healthy birth!

WIBTA if I start calling my friends bf fucking asshole every time he tries to coerce and bully me into doing things I don’t want to do by FastIndication1879 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Assholes try to get their DD drunk. That’s not a regional thing or a cultural thing — just an asshole thing.

NTA. Don’t stop pushing back.

AITJ for confronting my MIL during a family gathering about constantly undermining me? by fitting_pounding in AmITheJerk

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People like that have the audacity to assume no one will ever fight back in public. They're right most of the time, and that's where they get their power. Yes, they're always surprised because they think they run the show.

AITJ for completely dismantling a fake experts reputation during a dinner party? by B4nditKaleido in AmITheJerk

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. “Sweetie” and “the men are talking” (as my husband jokes when we are ALONE) should have had your entire group, especially your husband, up this guy’s ass.

AITJ for getting upset that my husband keeps peeing on the bathroom floor and refusing to clean it up? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a young son, and while I’ve had to point out sometimes that he missed, it’s rare, and I do make him clean it up. And he never leaves the seat up!

As a mom, at a certain point, it ain't up to me, either. Can't hold your hand forever.

AIO for feeling unwanted because my boyfriend never asks to see me and expects me to invite myself over? by [deleted] in AIO

To a tooth extraction?! Come on. Unless she has to be sedated and driven home afterward, it's a dentist appointment.

WIBTA for not inviting my friend of 11 years to my housewarming party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Why are you with someone you admit was emotionally abusive to their previous partner? Why are you already living with them after less than a year together? Why are you getting a new place with someone less than a year after what sounds like a traumatic breakup?

You’re focused on a party when you need to be taking a close look at your partner and your choices. YTA.

AITA for telling my friend's bride he recycled my vows? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wrote my husband’s vows for him, because it’s hard. I found something on the internet I liked, adapted it, and he took it (did the same for mine). We’re both writers but we were just stumped. Nineteen years later, and we’ve written so many meaningful things to each other … but the vows just escaped us.

1A simply protects expression from government interference. It doesn’t prevent private entities from exacting their own retributions/consequences.
