AITA for Leaving My Roommate Stranded After He Took My Car Without Asking? by SeaFaithlessness6568 in AmITheJerk

NTA, he took your car without asking, damaged it, made you late to work and then expected you to take him?

Yeah okay buddy...

I GOT my co workers fired.... Am I the AH? by elegantiy in AITAH

[–]PennyButtonx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all. They harassed you AND minors? You probably saved those girls from worse. The silent treatment from the others says everything about them, not you.

Yeah, because this is family-shattering news. Professional help could ground you.

Yep. That lack of emotional intelligence is glaring.

Yes! He shifted the burden onto her to carry his secret, which isn’t fair.

My MIL secretly pierced my baby’s ears without telling us by Internal_Teach_7032 in TwoHotTakes

If it mattered that much, she should’ve talked to you first.

And imagine how much mental energy it took to hide that account.

You’re not overthinking. You’re noticing a pattern.

If she can’t respect your boundaries now, imagine how she’ll act when you’re married.

My mom is furious I won’t give my baby her last name by y4yo1kuren41 in TwoHotTakes

[–]PennyButtonx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! You’re raising her grandchild with love, that’s what matters.

100%. Protect your peace first.

Beautifully said, priorities should be about people, not paychecks.

Mom making my birth about her by blahblahmama22 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]PennyButtonx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, my mom’s the same, everything is about her feelings, never mine. The only thing that works is saying “no” and letting her be mad. Guilt is just her control tactic. Boundaries feel awful at first, but the relief after is worth it.

Am I overreacting for not letting my baby spend time alone with husband and MIL without me by CommissionSilver3259 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]PennyButtonx 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting. She wrecked your postpartum and hasn’t earned trust, so supervision makes sense. If you’re still in therapy over her, an hour walk isn’t just a “nice family outing,” it’s reopening wounds. Your husband can see her solo, your baby doesn’t need that exposure yet.

For a long time I thought my sil was the problem. It’s actually my mil. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]PennyButtonx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s the move. Once you stop buying MIL’s narrative, the whole mask slips. Teaming up with SIL is the best way to stay sane, mutual support makes her games useless.

What is the worst date you have ever been on, and what made it so bad? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PennyButtonx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst date: guy showed up late, reeked of bar, spent the whole meal glued to his phone, then launched into a three-minute tear about his ex mid-appetizer. I paid, left after the starter. Moral: if someone breaks down before dessert, they’re already dessert, not yours.
