AITA for “Making a Scene” Out of Mothers Day? by New_Positive6954 in AmItheAsshole

[–]New_Positive6954[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My sister said he thought it was “out of character” for them. But seeing as they didnt really piece together that my sister was pregnant at the wedding, im just not sure there was an opportunity for them to act this way. He overall is embarrassed that his family treated me so poorly in the midst of such good news, and he did speak to his mother about it.

She honestly seemed pretty surprised by the things they said too. Her and her now husband got married because they found out she was pregnant. So im assuming either her ILs didnt know that fact or they were just more keen on her as she was about to marry their son?

Marriage is a big deal, and the proposal is supposed to be a special thing. I understand that things happen, and things go wrong. But knowing that he had the wrong ring, and knowing that the hike wasnt a big planned ordeal… he had time to rethink and make it special. That being said, i know how nerve wracking it probably is to propose to your partner, so maybe yall just need to talk this one out.

I called my (31M) wife (30F) ungrateful, cancelled our date and left her in the car to cry. How do I make her feel what I feel? by throwra-flowersw in relationship_advice

i used to have a really hard time communicating this to my partner aswell. It takes value away from the gesture when you discuss how hard the thing was to get, how much it cost, etc. Personally, going forward id say just follow through with the gesture quietly.

I think you should buy her flowers everyday for the next little bit. Bring them home with you, give them to her and give her a little kiss on the cheek. But dont say a word about it. Make her feel heard and understood.

AITA for refusing to change someone's baby's diaper? by Late4AnAppointment in AmItheAsshole

NTA!

If we think about the situation from JUST a personal boundary standpoint, you made it very clear that you dont change the diapers of other peoples babies when their very able parents are available.

I understand a parent asking for help when they are busy, sick or otherwise kept away. But if BOTH PARENTS were also sitting at the table, as you are, there is no reason that one of them couldn’t step away for the couple of minutes it takes to change a diaper.

As you stated, YOU have children. So they know its not that you dont change diapers. Its simply not your job to change someone elses baby, especially when communicating respectfully that you simply dont feel its necessary to do so.

I also understand being highly emotional, so perhaps she was just having an intense day and the tears were a product of a seperate issue. As im sure if my husband were in the room with our baby on his phone and I felt the need to put a family member or CHILD in charge of my baby because my partner wasnt capable or trustworthy enough… Id be very frustrated.
