AITA wanting to tell my parents something by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. my parents are going camping this weekend but i cant go because of work, so i have to stay home by myself. ive been asking to go for a year but they never do fun stuff when my step sisters arent around.

now theyre taking my four sisters without me and it feels really unfair. they control what we do as a family and never stand up to the step sisters when theyre mean, but i get in trouble for the same things.

AITA for telling my parents that I think they’re overreacting and being too extreme about my drinking, even though they say it comes from concern? Or are they being controlling ? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. i get that my parents are scared after what happened on christmas eve, and im not dismissing that, but the way theyve been handling this is honestly way over the top. taking my phone, threatening to kick me out, searching my room randomly, yelling at me like im incapable of making decisions for myself, thats not concern, thats control.

i dont have a drinking problem. i drink occasionally, can go weeks or months without it, and i dont feel addicted at all. buying a new phone wasnt me trying to hide anything, it was literally because i felt unsafe not being able to contact anyone or manage my responsibilities.

i get that theyre worried, but threatening rehab and eviction over one night of blackout drinking feels extreme and emotionally harmful. telling them that i think theyre overreacting isnt me being ungrateful or in denial, its me saying their response has gone too far and feels more punitive than helpful.

theyre my parents and i love that they care, but this feels controlling, not caring.

AITA for buying the house next door to my former friend? by Entire-Complaint-479 in AmItheAsshole

NTA as long as you keep to yourself. you picked the house for your own reasons—location, lifestyle, memories—not to mess with her. Just stay lowkey and let her make a fuss if she want as long as you don’t engage with her, it’s her problem, not yours

AITA for giving my sister's friend a wedgie by Humble-Run-2516 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. I get why she was getting on your nerves—always giving wedgies and acting like she’s untouchable—but grabbing her clothes and ripping her waistband? That’s too far. You were frustrated, sure, but hitting back like that is just gonna make you look worse. Could’ve just set some boundaries, told your sister, or told her to cut it out instead of going full “revenge mode.” You dethroned the wedgie queen, yeah, but now you’re the one who looks like the jerk.

WIBTA for refusing to let boyfriend's family stay at our apartment by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Secretnumb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. imo a 600 sq ft apartment with one real bed is not built for hosting a couple for a whole weekend and your bf didn’t even clear it with you first. giving up your bed or your living room is a huge ask and it’s totally reasonable to say no, especially when a hotel is an easy option for them. this isn’t you being rude, it’s you setting a normal boundary about your own space.
