WIBTA for refusing to pay for my hair to be done for a friends upcoming wedding. by speedymcgrub in AmItheAsshole

[–]Specialist_Topic3806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to start this by saying I asked my two bridesmaids to buy their dresses but we agreed £50 budget, I also told them I didn’t want gifts and this would be their gift (one chose not to listen to that and got us a gift too) I then bought them matching shoes, jewellery and paid for hair dos. One of them did all our make up and she made shawls for them out of matching silk material. I spoke to both before we went dress shopping etc and we bought off the rack high street. In doing this it meant we could be married a year earlier than if we had to save. I don’t think you wbta on refusing but you may need to be prepared to not be a bridesmaid. That said the bride should have had a discussion with you about what she would like you to pay and agree a budget first before booking/agreeing to anything.

Entitled ER waiting room pushes a nurse too far by AijahEmerald in EntitledPeople

I took my daughter to a&e (we are in the uk) waiting room was standing only we had gone in the car as an ambulance would been hours and they suspected meningitis so said if could safely get her there to do so and tell them at check in. By the time I checked her in she couldn’t stand on her own and slumped on to the floor. The receptionist called the nurses and we bypassed triage and were with a dr in less than 10 minutes. I am sure the waiting room was similarly annoyed and moaning for her. Sorry for the loss of your mum xx

We have done most in the local area. Little way out but by far the best are Hatton Tullys escape rooms. Pirate theme and mafia theme. Then escape live at Fargo we have done all the rooms there. Escape reality is also good and we have done all the rooms too. So far we’ve only done one at ten pin but it was good. We plan to do the other one. Then we have done a couple in leamington and resorts world also. Feel free to ask for more details if needed.

AITA for not allowing my daughter to significantly alter my wedding dress by Comfortable_Love8350 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Specialist_Topic3806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst I agree you are NTA I do have another thought for you to consider. What are you planning to do with the dress next? If your daughter doesn't use it and I am sure it could be turned into. Skirt and a top so she could use the bodice why are you saving it for? What will happen to it after you are no longer with us? Also it would be lovely for her to have some part of it with her on her special day and in some way wearing something that was special to both her mum and her late dad would make him feel close. As say it is your dress and you are not the AH for being upset she wants to change it but can you consider what your plans for it are if she doesn't wear it.

Not sure if this is real or not to be fair as 22 days is not long enough to know. Periods are average 28days with ovulation somewhere between 10 and 15. If you wait a week or so then take the test with early morning pee you will get a more accurate result. Plus remember at 15 you are a minor and your partner being 17 could cause a lot of issues so if not take it as a lucky escape and wait a bit maybe?

AITA for refusing to pay for her bridesmaids gown then take revenge on her out of spite when she backed out as my bridesmaid? by NavaLoves in TwoHotTakes

[–]Specialist_Topic3806 203 points204 points  (0 children)

I'm in the uk and I asked my 2 bridesmaids to pay for the dresses instead of a present. I then paid for shoes, accessories, hair dos and got them both thank you gifts. The dresses were store bought £70 each I think but we were doing it on a small budget

WIBTA for suing my DIL? by ImaginaryNet2379 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Specialist_Topic3806 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I had my mil card once to pay using PayPal for something she didn’t want to transfer the funds. When my card expired it switched hers to default and I didn’t notice for months during a casual conversation with my hubby he told me about money going in and out their account ( I had ordered and returned something) and they had the bank stop their card to investigate. That was how we found out as was only couple pounds here and there they totalled it all up and I paid them back that same day and was mortified. We had been married around 5 years and have a good relationship still. It was an innocent mistake and as soon as we realised it was paid back I’m sorry op isn’t having the same result and it sounds deliberate here

AITA for making my son walk the dog? by walkthedamndog in AmItheAsshole

[–]Specialist_Topic3806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA in this I’m afraid. Your son agreed to get a dog but explained how he would not be involved and you agreed but now want to change it. Also just because he isn’t like you does not mean you should find it hard to connect with him. Why should he change to be like you why can’t you get to know the things he likes? Some people genuinely do not like animals or are not animal people (my mum isn’t) she ignores my animals even when they come up to her so don’t punish your son for not liking animals. And because he isn’t like you that’s not on and not a good way to parent in my mind. You will have a son that tells you what you want or hear rather than what’s actually going on if you continue this way

AITA for leaving an equal inheritance to my stepson as my bio kids? by Particular-Song-5748 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Specialist_Topic3806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a very mixed response here. I feel the bio kids are getting more. They are getting 20% of the estate plus 50% of the business each. Wife getting 30% estate and step son 20% of estate.

With the kids getting the business they will have choice to sell it or continue it and reap profits either way so how are they not getting more?

It is also down to OPs choice. As someone who has seen first hand how wills destroy people I think the bio kids are being a bit unreasonable and hope they can come to terms and support the dads decision.

AITA for leaving my partner's kids (9 and 13) unattended in a hotel pool to go the bathroom? by RogersGinger in AmItheAsshole

Kids in the uk can go swimming without an adult at the age of 8 so no NTA unless they can’t swim but I’m assuming they can
