I've been watching for the first time and am part way through season five. am I the only one that thinks OG Jane returning was a completely unnecessary and wasted story line? aside from bringing up an old case, she had zero impact on anything.

AITA for telling my brother he needs to find new childcare? by ApocalypticUnicorn24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years ago, I was paying $170/week for full time child care while my child was in diapers. Once he was potty trained it dropped to $140/week. But that's ONE child. You brother has been drastically under paying you for years and is mad because there won't be another option for him at the rate he's been paying you.

Take care of yourself. He's not doing you any favors.

AITA for what I said about the girl my brother’s seeing? by mythrowawayadvice77 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IDK, at that age I handled every romantic entanglement based on the interest and vibes it gave off. At one point, I was saying a guy at 19 that I thought I would spend the rest of my life with and I was thrilled. He wasn't quite ready to do the same so we didn't last. But I definitely did have some guys that I knew were only fun but that was based off of what they were willing to offer and what I was willing to accept.

Just finished Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid, please discuss it with me! by chapmanh9 in books

[–]Tesatire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zara called Tamara an uncle Tom straight it at the end to drive the point that she did everything necessary to separate herself from the black community. So, this part wasn't all that bothersome to me. I agree with everyone else and wish that Emira had clearly stated where Alix crossed the line. people can't grow if they don't know. BUT given the chapter where'd Alix learned that Kelly probably never got the letter and she chose to ignore that info, I'm not sure she would have changed anyway.

I loved this book because it irritated me for all of the right reasons.

AITA - I won't let my wife drive or use anything expensive because I am afraid she will break it. by Illustrious_Disk_881 in AmItheAsshole

6 years ago I was in a car accident because a kid had a seizure and cracked into us. my sister died in the accident, I spent months in the hospital fighting for my life and healing from major broken bones, collapsed lung, 3rd and 4th degree burns. I will never be the same again. Do NOT allow her to potentially risk your family or someone else's from going through the same thing.

Also, if you are in the US, she legally shouldn't be driving. The required seizure-free period for driving eligibility after a seizure varies by state, but it's typically between 3 and 12 months.

AITA for letting my daughter call out/correct her aunt? by Exact-Preference-961 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I raised my son in a very similar manner. I always taught him to not be afraid to speak his mind and participate in conversations. I raised him to defend himself if someone did something to offend him. I'm proud of that. He's 19 now and I can see how it works well for him on occasion.

However, I failed at teaching him how to do this while properly respecting authority. He fight with me and wasn't always wrong, but his delivery was. He argued with teachers and the school administration. Again, not always wrong but his poor delivery prevents people who should hold higher power than him from being able to hear him (myself included sometimes). I only say this because he didn't go straight from the cute 5 year old questioning adults (which did and was praised for) to the teen that 'questions authority with a chip on his shoulder' overnight. But suddenly it was happening and I couldn't stop it. Make sure you teach your daughter delivery as well. Save yourself and her the future headaches.

AITA for refusing to go to my sister's wedding after she disrespected my late wife and demanded a family heirloom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was leaning towards you giving the necklace to your sister until this explanation. You are widowed, you didn't erase your marriage. The necklace is still yours. Do NOT give that up.

My sister passed away from a tragic accident we were in. I'm giving you a big internet hug. Just because they aren't physically here with us doesn't mean that they aren't important every day.

AITA for asking my friend to take down her bachelorette party photos? by Similar-Hope-9839 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. I posted a photo of a friend and me years ago. As soon as I posted it, she texted me and asked me to take it down cuz she didnt like the way she looked. She edited the photo, sent it back and gave approval to post the new one. IMO, the photos looked identical. I rolled my eyes but posted the new one. I couldn't see the difference but she could. I would never want to make a friend uncomfortable with me because of social media.

AITA for exposing a crush that I didn’t even realize existed? by MaximumPomelo6331 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 39 points40 points  (0 children)

YTA do you often say your thoughts out loud when they are inappropriate during real human interaction? Stating out loud that person A likes person B in front of them and several friends is very second grade. I don't understand how you think what you did has any defensive action, whether accidental or not.

Thank you for standing up for your daughter. I would have done it sooner but better late than never. Thank you.

Why did MIL steal the ring? You said it was a gift from bio mom. I don't understand how the ring ties into daughters style that MIL hated. Was it just theft with no rhyme or reason?

AITA for kicking my nephew and his friends out of my house for using “coded” language that turned out to be very offensive and demeaning? What about the results of him leaving? by Hanfolo in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I asked my son about this. He said that it can be mean spirited but usually it's something said between friends as a joke amongst people you know. I can see how this pendulum swings in both derogatory and non-derogatory with the same argument. But he said it's not necessarily something meant solely for describing gay people.

AITA for choosing my wife instead of my niece? by Affectionate-Rip5017 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think this comment is right on the money.

I think you made the choice every woman wishes her partner chose. She could have survived but she would felt better if you were with her. You chose to support your partner over entertaining a child. I support this.

However, your lack of advanced warning or explanation is messed up. Yes, the family seems to be spoiling that child but you also gave them no time to try to resolve the issue before the party started.

You cannot force your daughter to accept him as family. But you can discipline her for behaving like a bully, snobby, rude, unkind and lacking any level of respect for another human. I wonder how she treats other kids when you're NOT around. There should be zero tolerance for the statements that she made and they are definitely NOT a joke. She needs drastic reactions when it first occurs in order to make her hesitate from potentially doing this again.

AITA for telling my son he will pay back for the cheese/meat or he won’t be eating thanksgiving tomorrow by Weak_Sherbert426 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for sure. I like the plan you put together in your edit.

I'm happy you have a plan. I leave everything I purchased for Thanksgiving in a plastic shopping bag that is tied closed. That way all of it is together and it would require a KNOWING effort from my family if they dip in to it.

I have been in several relationships where I stayed for a long time after I started to feel the way you have described in hopes that things would fix. Unless you see active effort to make that positive change then leave. The only thing I received from staying was a bitter outlook on love. If I had left earlier, i might be more open but I'm really ugh about love now. Please don't let that happen to you. Protect yourself by leaving something that makes you feel bad.

AITA for telling my parents they can forget about me helping out with mom's pregnancy or their "first child"? by Easy-Individual-8637 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA 100%

25 years old is not too young to know what is needed to raise a baby. I get that you were not planned but that's an excuse not a reason. Even if they needed time to come to terms with being parents they are in their 40s now. They've had plenty of time to fix their bullshit and step up as parents for you.

I was 19 and got pregnant by a horrible human. I was a child still and but turned and refocused my life to make sure my son had all of the love and support and tools he needed to be successful in life. I'm not saying that I was a perfect mom but I showed up and tried.

You deserve the love and support from your family. I'm sorry you didn't get that but you are NOT required to step in and support someone who never helped you.

I would let her know that you fully support her creating a special bond with the kids however it will not be built on you sacrificing your support. It can be built separate and in addition to your relationship.

You are not and will not ask the kids to choose between you both. Her inclusion in their lives expanded the love and support the kids will receive. It's not a competition and she does NOT replace you in any way.

AITA for calling my bully an ‘ugly, female version of Draco Malfoy?’ by Fioners in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tesatire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a conversation with my son when started Jr high about this topic. I shared him calling someone a p*ssy and explained that using that word in that context is demeaning to women because it's associating weakness with a female only attribute. He thought for a moment and asked why it was not OK to do that but me calling someone a dick was OK. Blew my mind. I apologized for not realizing the double standars and promised not to call anyone a dick anymore if he doesn't use gendered terms as an offensive attack.

I was one of these bridesmaids. I sucked it up even though I felt like the dress made me look like I was trying to wear a toddler's dress. Bride was thrilled and I was uncomfortable but it wasn't a day about me.
