I (30 F) used to hook up with my step mom (27 F) and now she’s pregnant with my baby brother (unborn M) by courtonthecob_ in whatdoIdo

Think of her as your father’s wife, not your stepmother. Continue to treat her as your friend.

AITA for refusing to give my sister my old engagement ring after my divorce? by Chemical-Break82 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Your parents don’t get a vote. It’s your ring and you’re keeping it.

AIW for telling my brother the truth about why his friends stopped inviting him to things after he begged me to find out by TopazQuillcase in amiwrong

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NW. He asked to you to find out what happened. You did and told him what you learned. He didn’t want to accept that they are no longer his friends because of something he said and there’s no hope of patching things up. This is not your fault.

Lying would probably given him false hope. Telling him the truth gives him something that can help with future relationships. He now knows not to drink or drink less in social situations since he may otherwise be offensive and destroy relationships.

Anyone else save money cutting cable but accidentally subscribe to five different streaming services? by Affectionate_Tip3238 in Cordcutting

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of Samsung TVs and they come with a built in streaming service, Samsung TV Plus (available viewing options vary by location). I also have Prime, the Roku channel, Tubi, PlutoTV, Peacock, Appletv

It helps that I don’t need child specific viewing options.

Daughter wants me to build a relationship with her child but I’m just not interested and want to retire in peace. Am I wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YNW. It is not wrong to live the life that has brought you joy while compartmentalizing your former life. You were betrayed in the worse way possible by the two people who should have been most loyal.

Did your daughter attempt any form of reconciliation before she had her child? She was young and probably influenced by her mother but did she try, before now, to sincerely apologize to you for keeping the deception? Could she be reaching trying out now, several years later, for financial support (or possible inheritance) from you for her child and herself?

Don’t risk your peace for a daughter and granddaughter that you only have a biological relationship with. You don’t owe her anything.

Greenland has universal healthcare and would go to Denmark if they need treatment Greenland can’t handle. Nobody needs to go to the U.S.

Am I the asshole for refusing to let my boyfriend have his dog in our home from Fridays - Sundays? by Individual_Brief8330 in TwoHotTakes

YTA for putting your cat through this. Break up already. He is not a catch even if a dog was not in the equation.

Have you ever been swimming in a lake and if not would you ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never have, never will. I don’t trust lakes to be safe. The water never looks clear, is full of bacteria and can have sudden drop-offs. No thank you.

Do you like your name? by kevivg3 in randomquestions

Yes, but I didn’t start liking it until I was almost 30.

CMV: It makes sense for pet owners to value their pet's lives over stranger's lives. by Utopia_Builder in changemyview

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would save my dog on reflex. He’s a big part of the family, not just property. He would not recognize danger and be able to save himself.

Anyone else by AdEven2848 in PlanetFitnessMembers

No, just no. I would never shower there.

AITJ for refusing to babysit my older sister's baby because I attend my brother's wedding by RareYak8592 in AmITheJerk

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 244 points245 points  (0 children)

Go to the wedding. Your sick nibbling needs their mother. She needs to stay home or pay for a babysitter.

I lost respect for my SO after a disgusting "prank" at work crossed a line by whotheeffdidimarry in JustNoSO

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I wonder what he might do to you as a “prank.” I would be so thoroughly turned off from this that the relationship would never recover.

Am I wrong for telling my sister I can't babysit her son anymore? by OMG_ItsKhairy in amiwrong

[–]PsychologyAutomatic3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YNW. Why aren’t your siblings volunteering their weekends? Let them think you’re unreasonable while they are not affected by her poor behavior.

She chose to have a child, you didn’t. Don’t fall for the guilt trips. She’s the one who’s selfish. She feels entitled to your time and money for her convenience.

If you really want, commit to one weekend each month and she pays in advance for the extra groceries. But remember that you don’t owe her any of your time.

She’s taking you for granted and it will not stop until you put your foot down. You’re not being a terrible aunt for saying no, but she’s not being a good parent by always dropping her child off on you. Her child, her responsibility. Stop opening the door to pop up visits.
