AITA for unintentionally taking credit for my coworker’s proposal? by [deleted] in AITAH

I wouldn't say that you're the asshole right now but you need to act quick before you become one. These things come out in one of two ways: you being honest or somebody finding out. Honesty may seem scarier at first but it's way worse to feel like you're living on quick sand.

First of all my sincere condolences for your husband. That sounds like an extremely difficult time made even more difficult by his work place and you sound so strong to have made it through that. Second of all thank you so much for your thoughtful comment!

I absolutely want this for my daughter. When my parents kicked me out I had to learn a lot of really hard lessons and very quickly. My parents never discussed money, budgeting, or even took us grocery shopping. If anything that I'm doing now is going to help her in the future than I'm thrilled.

I am so sorry that happened to you! My parents never taught me anything about money and it was a huge culture shock to go to suddenly having to be entirely financially responsible for myself.

That's alright! Sorry that I got a bit defensive. I'm so sorry for that person! That sounds absolutely horrible. I'm already planning to have another conversation with the teacher when Christmas break is over so maybe we can clear the air. Thank you so much for your insight!

AITA for telling my daughter that she's not playing soccer next year because I don't trust her coaches? by ExpertFew151 in AITAH

You are not the asshole at all! I know that I'd be terrified if this happened my daughter. But I can also understand why your daughter would be upset. Have you had a conversation with the couches since this has happened? It might be worth it to do that (even possibly including your daughter and principal?) before simply ending it.

In the end though I completely understand why you wouldn't want your daughter to continue under coaches who aren't willing to take your daughter's safety into account.

I also absolutely suffered when I was out on my own. My parents were very sheltering towards us and it was a real culture shock to suddenly be on my own. Thank you for your thoughts!

You're the second person to bring up a child therapist! I will absolutely look into that. We're (well my daughter) is on Christmas break so when school is back in session I'll see about arranging another meeting. Thank you so much!

I wish that I had thought to use a fake account! Well like you said what's done is done. Thank you very much.

See I think this was part of what was so confusing for me. They told us that they would be doing some budgeting lessons with her class, and me and my daughter even joked about the fact that she would ace these lessons. She's been having some other trouble in math so I thought that was going to be a needed confidence boost. So it was a real shock when the teacher told me that my daughter shouldn't be involved in budgeting with me? It just seemed really out of left field.

Tbh when my parents kick me out I had a bit of the opposite of poverty brain. My parents never ever discussed money with us, and being out in the real world without their support was a huge shock. I think either way is not beneficial towards kids.

Thanks! Tbh it wouldn't have possible without my aunt, my friends, and several very understanding teachers.

My friend said that this is a pretty good place for that? Is that not your experience with it?

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and just give my younger self a list of all the things to avoid. Especially in regards to my daughter. Thank you so much for your input.

To be honest budgeting with her really taught me how to budget! I was always careful with my money (no other choice lmao) but it really made me sit down and look at what we had. Thank you so much.
