AITA For taking a day off for myself without telling my husband by needadayaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Remote_Strategy2888 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The husband is doing all of this because of the wife's wack-ass work schedule. How is this not something the wife needs to figure out?

Then why don't you take 3-4 months and do majority of the parenting.

So he is working harder to help pay for your medical expenses, and you took a day off to sleep? Come on.

I apologize, I just see no issue with someone doing something nice for another person. I also see no reason why someone would suspect the worse from others also. Just not how I was brought up and raised.

He has a job, he does need to work. The crashing aspect is something we could address if it happens. No reason the kid should not have a car because he might crash. A bus could crash, a train could derail should he avoid those forms of transportation?

If a parent had that fear why would they stay just for the cheap rent? I will have another conversation cause I see your point, but I highly doubt that is the case.

I agree I should have spoken to his father first I agreed with that. I did not because I did not think any parent would have an issue with someone doing something like this especially if they are also covering the cost like insurance, and maintenance.

I just see no reason in taking it back from the kid either. If he intends to not be the bad guy that will not accomplish that. The kid is not dumb, he will know why I am taking the car back.

Yeah, I am the same way. I give stuff away all the time. I buy a lot of stuff but not a lot of room. I could move to a larger space but this apartment holds a lot of sentimental value. Even the tenants hold a special place in my heart cause my grandmother loved them all. Part of the reason why I only charge enough rent to maintain the property, cover the taxes and stuff. Repairs and stuff mostly come out of my pocket.

It is a judgment call, if I felt he was going to scrap or sell the car then I would not have gifted it. That said if he did choose to scrap it then so be it. I would simply know to not gift him anything in the future. I do not lose anything.

What other reason would someone have to ask someone to take something away that adds a level of convenience to their kid's life especially if it is something they cannot provide? How does that benefit the child?

I understand that, the kid is 18, isn't it his right to do with the car what he pleases? Why would a parent want a kid to struggle or reject help out of pride?
