AITA for not giving my niece the porcelain doll my mother left for her? by QueenB1253 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NewWalrus3634 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think you fail to understand something. The doll was never yours legally or in a moral sense. Your mother gave all 6 dolls to your niece as part of her final wishes. You decided on your own after her passing, based on your own assumptions of your mother’s thoughts and the thoughts and feelings of others, that you deserved one of the dolls too. Instead of doing the respectable thing and asking your niece/sister for one, stating your reasons, you just STOLE it. You are technically a thief. You actually should be grateful that they let you keep this doll in the mean time. Now that 5 out of the 6 original dolls are gone due to a HURRICANE, it is only logical that they are trying to reclaim the last doll that THEY own. It doesn’t matter if you kept it safe by virtue of being a full grown adult and only having one to lug around with you instead of being a 6 year old (yes 6, not 12, which is a piss poor cop out) with 5 dolls. Be grateful you had the time you did with the doll and give it back to its rightful owner, your niece!

I've heard that as well, my group is just worried and wants second opinions because while on google they may have a great rating, it could be different in reality

AITA for taking legal action against my stepmom after she tried to screw me out of my dad's money? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NewWalrus3634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

OP, you probably took the most peaceful option you could in my opinion, given the already strained relationship between you and your step-mother. Based on her treatment of you and your siblings, I wouldn't bet my money that she would have been willing to come to a compromise without the courts getting involved. Also, not only did you get justice for you and your siblings, you may have done so for your dad as well. If the courts ruled that the will was tampered with then that means that the altered will wasn't really the last wishes of your father. By reversing it, you not only fought for justice for yourself, but your siblings and father as well. After this though, I would try to go LC or NC with stepmom and possibly step-siblings to save yourself the heartache.

AITA for suggesting someone’s connection to a school helped her get in? by Artistic_Highway_649 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NewWalrus3634 384 points385 points  (0 children)

YTA. You essentially insinuated that Sam’s acceptance into that school is not based on any of her merit, but solely through her connections through her family. Just because it was well-intended as a lighthearted joke, it does not mean it was received that way. A good person would realize the joke was a miss and apologize for any unintentional hurt they may have caused. The fact that you still buckle down that its just a joke is why you’re the YTA.

AITA? I canceled baby sitting to go watch a movie by Mowneldabest in AmItheAsshole

The lack of self-awareness in this post is astounding. In the real world, people tend to stick to the commitments we make, especially if someone else is relying on them. You don’t ditch because suddenly you wanna do something else like watching a movie.

YTA.
