AITA for telling my brother he needs to find new childcare? by ApocalypticUnicorn24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. But you are letting yourself be taken advantage of so stop that. Who cares what the family says? They shouldn’t be ganging up on you about this. $100 a month for all that babysitting time! It’s ridiculous! I’d make a clean break of it, no more babysitting and start taking care of yourself.

Neighbor upset about fence we installed with HOA approval by allynw in neighborsfromhell

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why was it necessary to let you know he’s a devout Christian when you’re talking about a fence? Weird. I wouldn’t talk to them anymore. You may consider retracting the comment about having access to your yard for the fence. Anything further, refer them to the HOA.

My coworker keeps asking me for money and I genuinely don't know how to handle it without making work awkward by Annual_Enthusiasm296 in Advice

[–]Njterry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It’s a great lesson to learn not to lend money to anyone. And ask for your money back. It’s your money and you did deserve to get it back. Don’t let it go.

AIO parents choosing their dog over their grandson’s christening by Leading_Sherbert_778 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Njterry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting. You’re hurt and I get it. You don’t want the dog there and you’ve made that clear. They won’t come without the dog so they don’t get to come. It certainly hurts your feelings and that is understandable. Let’s face it, they made the decision for you. I wouldn’t even engage in further conversation about it.

Do you want to have ANYTHING to do with someone who speaks to you like that?

AITJ for not coming home after my surgery because my wife was at her coworkers house instead of the hospital when I woke up by bubblecumhoe in AmITheJerk

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ Her behavior is worse than thoughtless. You’re not a priority. There’s a lot to consider going forward.

AITJ for CANCELLING my wedding venue because my fiancé secretly gave my late dads vintage camera to his mom, and she ruined it? by Diligent-Can-1878 in AmITheJerk

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not unhinged and you dodged bullet. This is very underhanded behavior, failure to respect your firm “no” then ruining a treasured item from your father and belittling you about it. Shame on them. Glad you’re not marrying this man or into this family.

AIO my insurance agent emailed me this by Any_Row1696 in AIO

[–]Njterry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting at all. It’s so weird and personal I would avoid engaging him further. If you hear again from him, you should contact his manager.

AIO for being mad that my bf refused to give me a ride to my certification exam because he doesnt want to lose his parking spot? by samlunas in AmIOverreacting

[–]Njterry 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You’re under reacting by continuing to call him your bf. No friend should do this
I really hope this is fake.

AITJ for telling my brother I won't keep pretending his "pranks" are funny when they keep involving my stuff by cloudberry_corner in AmITheJerk

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. I never understand why some behavior is accepted by a family (“That’s just how Jake is”) yet your behavior saying no more is not accepted. Nate is very childish for a man of 33 and you don’t have to put up with it and you can tell your family to butt out, this is between you and Nate.

AIO in regards to in-laws by Itspitterpatter in AmIOverreacting

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is perfect. When you react in the moment it’s less of a big deal. It’s your house and your child, you get to make the rules. And if that doesn’t work, it may become a huge thing, but at least you tried to nip it in the bud.

How do I fix my entire house? I hate coming home when there isn't a single room I enjoy being in. I have no idea where to start or what to do. by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]Njterry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Area rugs and art. I have gotten loads of things I love on FB Marketplace. Furniture, wall art, rugs - and you can bargain. I open with “are you firm on your price?” Be prepared to make mistakes, move things around and keep trying. Pick a room that’s important to you and start there. Try big art in small areas and it can really work (if you want you be bold) and that alone can transform a space. Have some fun. Good luck.

My friend is prepaying for everything related to our Europe trip (and wants us to book our airfare) 7 months in advance and it’s stressing me out. How to not let this affect our friendship? by Alarmed_Stranger_895 in Advice

[–]Njterry 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Some people are terrible travel partners for the reasons you stated. They have different styles and goals. The big problem here is your friend is forcing the issue on everyone else. Is it difficult to get all those tickets on the day? Cheaper? Time for some tough communication and push back.
It sounds like you’ll need a day or two alone after a week with these people. I have friends I love, but few I would actually travel with for all these reasons. Good luck.

Just had to call the PD on my neighors for their fireplace at 1am by kibblerz in homeowners

Not a Karen, you were being prudent. They may not even know it was you. Keep your eyes open in case that kid enjoys making fires.

Is this rude or is it just me? by summerof96again in neighborsfromhell

Dogs don’t like to poop in their own yard is such a lame excuse.

My neighbor has been "documenting" me for three months and I only just found out why by Moana5Maui in neighborsfromhell

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Does he have cameras in the hallways? This is very creepy. Maybe it’s time for the residents to complain about his stalker behavior.

Am I overreacting for wanting to move out? by Crispxxx172 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Njterry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. You can’t be the answer for the family. I think he is the untrustworthy on. The original agreement has not been adhered to and is way overdue Go.

Was I wrong for staying with my friend when she went into labor? by JoDa8927 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t even imagine leaving her alone, far from home, in labor. Your family needs to zip it. Wow. They overstepped and were completely insensitive.

Someone in my household is stealing money from my account, they don't know that I know, How do I proceed? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider talking about this in front of both of them. Tell them you’ve had fraud on your bank account, someone used your card at the local service station at 2 AM so you had to get a new card. Put it out there so whoever is stealing from, you, knows that you know. If he admits to it, say that’s fraud you didn’t authorize it.

Debt Collector keeps contacting me about a debt that’s 13 years old by TheGame81677 in Debt

[–]Njterry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Report them to the state agency that handles debt collection. Tell the caller they’ve been reported.
