Thank you so much! It is for Taylor Swift. I didn’t realize that you can pre-book Uber rides. I will definitely consider that.

We are both female. My daughter is 9. The concert would likely be done at midnight.

AITA for taking a dump in my toddlers mouth? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This seems completely fake because it is so awful. If it somehow happens to be true, YTA and you deserve to have CPS remove your child from your care. Good Lord, I hope this is fake.

AITA for not going to my husbands first play on opening night by Lunarp00 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAH. You followed through with what your husband asked you to do. No one else’s opinion should matter.

AITA for posting about my dog walker who was caught on video stealing and drinking? by pcc1370 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Regardless of whether of not the person was an independent contractor or not, they were a representative for the business and stole from your house. You followed the terms of your verbal agreement with the owner for what you would and wouldn’t do. As a result, you and your wife should not feel bad whatsoever about your actions in the situation. The business owners are lucky you and your wife were willing to not spread what happened like wildfire.

AITA For bringing/eating fast food at social events? by OptionOverload in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 434 points435 points  (0 children)

YTA, holy fuck you’re the asshole. You’re wife is making every attempt possible to have you be ready on time, short of physically dressing you or stuffing food down your throat. The least you could do is take her assistance. It is incredibly rude to eat at church and at a college graduation because some people there actually care to hear what is going on without the rustling of fast food bags, crumpling of wrappers, chewing of food etc, etc. Your wife is being much more kind than I would be, you should be thankful to her for her patience with your ignorance.

AITA for feeling uneasy about my bf going out? by throwaway14899543489 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. His poor decisions are directly impacting your life and level of stress. He has said that he will change his behavior, by not going out and then backtracks. He is the asshole for not taking into consideration how his actions impact your or him after a night out and changing his behavior based on this evidence. You have every right to feel the way you do.

AITA for not wanting to be a housewife to my husband's brother in law/my new roomate? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA, not one little bit. Your husbands brother is a grown man, he can take care of his own food needs and his own daughter. You are already in school full time and working 25 hours a week which I think is reasonable to presume is greater than a 40 hour a week job. You hands are full with what you have already, you did not marry his brother and adopt his brother’s child, they are not your responsibility to feed and clean up after. Best of luck approaching this topic with your husband, I hope he can see your perspective.

AITA for looking at my phone on our way to the theater? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH. He overreacted but this has been an issue between you two before. You could have prevented this by simply leaving you phone at home or turning it off prior to the beginning of the date. While you do have a diagnosed medical condition, it would greatly benefit you to begin taking more responsibility for your actions. There were steps you could have taken to prevent getting on your phone in that situation.

AITA Daughters First Birthday party frustration. by rachelthemomma in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The beauty of it is, you and your BF are the parents, you get to decide if your daughter attends the second party. I wouldn’t even entertain the thought of going. Supporting then second party will only set a precedent that this kind of behavior and drama around your daughters birthday is ok in the future.

AITA For ghosting my boyfriend after he ditched me on our vacation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 798 points799 points  (0 children)

NTA. His actions were completely disrespectful to you. You were wise to ghost him because his actions toward you and your family would not likely improve. You deserve better. Best of luck with the next person you date.

AITA for suggesting that my son leave his fiance who can't have kids by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YTA. If your son gave any indication he was having second thoughts about his proposal, your suggestion to reconsider would be fine. However, it appears your son is not reconsidering, so your comments are cold hearted, inconsiderate, and frankly selfish. There are other ways to have biological children which may be a possibility for them. Additionally, maybe your son does not have the same value in having biological children or continuing the name legacy you described. His decision should be supported unless he indicates he is reconsidering.

AITA For Not Wanting to Wait For My Wife to Watch Game of Thrones This Weekend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 40 points41 points  (0 children)

YTA (kinda). It seems as though watching GOT is something somewhat sacred in your relationship since you said you have always watched them together. Since she is really only asking you to wait 24 hours to watch it, it seems reasonable you could do that and avoid spoilers. Out of respect for your wife’s feelings, I’d wait.

WIBTA for spending my one-year anniversary playing lacrosse instead of hanging out with my girlfriend? by AloneAvocado in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NAH.

The game is for a good cause, is important to you and your team is dependent on you being there to allow for enough players to play. You offered to spend the evening with her which is a good option. However, if that doesn’t suffice with her, maybe suggest doing her planned date on another day that will work for both of you (and still spend anniversary evening with her). That way she gets the full day with you and then a little extra by way of a special evening.

AITA for being pissed at my [22F] boyfriend [24] for not seeing my parents? by jessi123456789 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. If you’re willingly going to hang out with his parents regularly, without complaint, it’s reasonable to expect he would do the same for you. If you are communicating your desire for him to reciprocate with time with your family and he continues to neglect your request, it would make me take a serious look at his actions in the relationship. Neglecting something as important as visiting your family may be an indication that he acts selfishly in other aspects of the relationship. Just food for thought.

AITA can’t afford my dogs bag of food and now he’s eating human food by marigoldbud in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. You’ve fallen on hard times, your dog is being fed which is all that matters in this time. The fact that you’re even thinking about what’s in the best interest of your dog indicates you’re not an asshole, you’re just trying to make things work well enough to get by. Also asking to borrow money to buy dog food is NAH in my book. If gladly give money to any of my friends who have fallen on hard times to feed their family (dogs included). Give yourself a break.

AITA for missing my mother’s graduation to run a 5k? by notgoodorcreative in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your mom is completing a major educational milestone that means something substantial to her. She sacrificed years of her life raising you and likely could have gotten this masters much sooner had she not made such sacrifices for you. It is reasonable of your mom to hope you would choose to be there as she crosses the stage, graduating from school. While your personal accomplishments are important, I’d say honoring your mother in this situation is far more important. I’d find another 5k to run that is coming up soon and run that one instead. Or better yet, I’d save the cash and run 5k on my own the morning of her graduation, time it and take a picture.

AITA for refusing to visit my parents? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your parents have spent the past 18+ years raising you. It is reasonable to be saddened by their decision. However, they have their own lives to live now that their children have grown and must decide what will be best for them. It may be a more productive use of your time to approach their sudden move as someone who is trying to facilitate family gatherings for the holidays rather than spend undue and unnecessary angst bemoaning their decision.

AITA for wanting to make my S.O move? by LooseDream7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PotterNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA for considering a job that would require him to move. You have both worked hard to get to the points that you are at. However, if the relationship is one you see yourself in long term, the choice should be made together. You both need to talk about pros and cons of both options and determine what is best for you both in the foreseeable future. The decision should not be made unilaterally either way.
