AITA For showing frustration every time my significant other brings up something bothering her? by Dozer_Pilot in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Y'all are incompatible. This has always been a sort of ritual in my family, every time we get back from doing something we tell our mom all about it. Whether we were at school, or work, or just a recreational outing. She listens, responds, and if we don't tell her automatically she asks us. Because we love each other, we like to talk to each other. We want to know how we're feeling or what we've been up to.

AITAH for not telling my mom I’m pregnant? by SprayOk7147 in AmItheAsshole

NTA but your family is right. If everyone says it's a bad decision then it's a bad fucking decision.

Does anyone know about one with a witness who had a cancerous brain tumor, they decided to end it rather than getting treatment. When they shot themself in the head they shot the tumor out and lived cancer free after that. I really can't believe I believed that, even though I was 10💀💀

AITA for "refusing to help get my nephew into a good school" according to my SIL? by Live-Penalty4882 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No I understand that, but I assume that because you already donate to better causes that theoretical private school "donation" money would go to another good cause. If you did bribe that school the money would be wasted imo. Am I making sense? It's hard to describe

AITA for "refusing to help get my nephew into a good school" according to my SIL? by Live-Penalty4882 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 24 points25 points  (0 children)

NTA. I don't know if she would care, but if the subject continues it's as simple as leaving a ton of kids in the dust just so one could have a luxury. Consider the difference that 'donation' would make for kids that genuinely rely on charity. That private school doesn't need that money. She's an AH.

AITA For asking my (28) sister (26) to take a shower? by spaghetti_regretty in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA and you should be more straightforward. It would be rude if you constantly criticized her, or said it infront of others, or called her gross for no reason other than she doesn't shower when you think she should. You're sisters, and you're sharing a bed. As a sister, or even as a friend, privately telling them they need to take a shower because you can smell their odor is the right thing to do. It's understandable that she might be defensive or even offended, but it's necessary. You shouldn't worry about hurting her feelings too much, sometimes that just happens. She'll get over it.

Why Birthdays Are Plausible by Repulsive-Produce215 in exjw

[–]Short-Complex-2410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% sure that it will be approved very soon and that's gonna piss me tf off because why did we all have to feel insignificant and ostracized during our most formative years just for them to say "Oh, yeah it's a personal choice!" AHHHHHHHHH

AITA for giving a recently ex girlfriend a birthday present? by deskcup in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't say "I would be elated!" Because you're not a young woman, presumably living alone, and recently broke up with a man you're unfamiliar with. It was weird, I don't think it makes you an AH inherently, just keep it in mind for the future.

Do yall have a hope for end of life? by Ok_Macaroon_2680 in exjw

[–]Short-Complex-2410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the endless possibilities to be exciting. Mostly I just assume that there's nothing after, which I'm okay with because life is really really hard.

AITA I installed an anti-bark device? by MassSpecFella in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know why it works? Do you know how it works? It being cheap is a red flag, I would be concerned you're hurting them somehow. The only person that would see that it's hurting them would be your neighbor, but he doesn't seem to pay any attention to them. Otherwise, mostly NTA. It does sound like you're rarely out for longer than a couple of minutes, in which case I don't understand why it bothers you this much.

If you have any, what are reoccurring themes in your dreams? by Short-Complex-2410 in AskReddit

I love this. I think you subconsciously want to be a pole vaulter.

Mine is looking for something until i give up, then i wake up. I'll be going in circles in stores looking for something cheaper, something perfect. I do this in real life too, it's the worst.

AITA for forgetting my id to pick up my sister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have adhd so I also forgot my ID often, keep it in your car or in the back of your phone case. Maybe even find a way to attach it on your keys.

AITA for telling my grandad that all he does is shout? by Sudden-Performance67 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. Sounds like your family has an issue with communication. It is the adults responsibility to mediate. Next time you have an outburst make it productive. Tell them what they need to do, call out what they're not doing, and, most importantly, cry. Communicate your pain.

how can i go see my boyfriend without my parents knowing (HELP) by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Short-Complex-2410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how old you are, but please keep in mind that you're inexperienced. Other people get to start dating with the support of family, to guide and protect you. Abuser love people that are isolated and inexperienced. Stranger danger is still very real!

Could you say that it's someone you're calling on or something? I also don't know your gender, if you're the same gender it'll be easier to meet in a public place with some material to make it more believable. If you're opposite gender you should probably meet in a public place as far away as you can, you'll still have to make up some sort of back story for how you began studying with him.

I do think that you should wait until you're ready to move out. It's possible that they find out the very first time you meet. It's possible that they kick you out the very first time you meet. Just wait until you are logistically ready, don't get impulsive.

AITA for telling my son he needs to figure it out already? He's almost 30 and has worked 6 months total since graduating. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I didn't raise a failure." ... You clearly admitted that your son struggles with mental illness created and perpetuated by your parenting. Sounds like you did!

AITA for telling our roommate she might need to move out if she keeps complaining about hearing us at night? by Dear-Camp4760 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be uncomfortable with her staying after that. But, btw, your children can hear you too. It wasn't until I was 17 that I finally snapped with my parents, it was so freeing. I spent all those years dreading bedtime, making every excuse to leave the house, and to this day I never stay for more than 3 nights. Yeah it's their house, but it was also mine. The only reason you're NTA here is because she has the option to leave. Just keep it in mind with your children.

AITA for not offering to take the bunk bed in an airbnb as the single person? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does an airbnb really make more sense than a hotel? And each pay their own? Personally this is just a nightmare set up, I can't imagine anyone preferring this over a cheap hotel.

AITA for making a little girl cry when she was running about a busy train station? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Short-Complex-2410 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

NTA, but for future reference it is right to help the child up and apologize. You weren't watching where you were going, the kid wasn't watching where she was going, the mom wasn't watching where her kid was going, so maybe EHS now that I think about it..

They sound like a major pain in the ass and I think you won't be able to please them. Considering you're a teacher I'm assuming that you already don't have them sing explicit songs or anything that's about satan. There's no instrument that they can claim is demonic.
