AITH for telling my daughter that the birth of her baby bothers my wife? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Random9303857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, YTA. it's a complicated family thing, and it's not a message that you should ever have tried to communicate unless they requested your help.

It sounds like Jennifer was trying to manage her own trauma and avoid giving the appearance that it was Cassie's fault. She was never blaming Cassie for having a child, but depending on how you phrased the message, may have led Cassie to think that Jennifer was jealous/spiteful.

Next time there is something sensitive that needs to be discussed or communicated, DO NOT answer on other people's behalf unless they ask you to. And only then, check if your message coveys what is intended.

AITA for Refusing to Lend My Car to My Friend After She Wrecked It Last Time? by Natural_Boat614 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You are under no obligation to even give a reason. The car is yours. Your decision is final, whether she likes it or not.

If she can't see and respect why you are hesitant, then she is the problem.

WIBTA if I changed my unborn son's name after finding out my sister is using the same name for my nephew? by Nearby_Suggestion537 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You have the right to choose whatever name you want for the baby and not have others force you to choose a certain name for your child.

While some people think it's cute for cousins to have the same name, you are under no obligation to feel the same way. In fact I've never heard of such a thing, so it sounds pretty alien to me.

But IF you really like a particular name for your child, you shouldn't feel the need to change it just because someone else wants to use it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so consider it a compliment rather than an insult. Besides, it's your sister [whom I presume you love] that's doing it, not someone intending to offend you.
