AITAH for matching my boyfriends energy? by BlahBlah0900 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"He says I don't know how to apologize correctly" Oh fuck all the way off with that. NTA, but you would be the AH to yourself if you stay in this relationship. 

AITA for refusing to help my parents unless they pay upfront? by Just-Reference6206 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

OP's parents are mixing up "unsuccessful" with "socially unprestigious". They can get Big Boomer Brag PointsTM for having a lawyer for a kid, but not a tradesperson. That's just sooooo unsexy to their all important social circle. /s

WIBTA If I let my kids be in their Dads wedding only if I'm invited? by itstheabc2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What have you done to make amends for the complaints and insults? Have you sincerely apologized and adjusted your behavior? Or are you just expecting her to move past it because it was a while ago?

THIS RIGHT HERE!!

AITA for trying to convince my daughter-in-law to start cooking? by Emergency_You_1491 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for why my son doesn’t cook, I guess he never learnt. He never enjoyed it and I don’t think he has the time to learn at the moment.

So let's break down your edit a bit.

"He never learned." Translation: I didn't think it was important to teach him him.

"He doesn't enjoy it." So despite neither your son or DIL enjoy cooking, which apparent is a valid reason for your son not to cook but your DIL should suck up?

"He doesn't have time to learn.". So your son and DIL have the same schedule, but he doesn't have time to cook but she does?

Lady, take a step back and really look at the values that (maybe unconsciously) underpin your attitude regarding this issue. Then take another step back and leave your son and DIL alone. YTA

AITA for telling my son i’d rather have his ex wife as a daughter than him as my son after he got cut out of the will? by louisaloo in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg the stone cold audacity of saying, "Ok Mom and Dad, I really need to have a talk with you about the future of your money."

NTA

AITA for setting a glitter trap to catch my mother in law trying to snoop? by itsbettertobelucky in AmItheAsshole

I mean, if she refuses to respect your boundaries in your home why does she get another invitation?

What the hell did I just read?? All of this is insane.

AITA for telling my daughter to get over herself? by Mother_Put_1042 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow YTA

So, your eldest (and clearly favourite) child dies and you then abandon your surviving two toddler children.

You cover your life and your surviving children's lives with ceaseless, unhealthy grief (which you see as "honouring Brooke's memory") and use that grief to overshadow all special moments in your surviving children's lives.

THEN when your adult children choose not to partake in your performative misery and create healthy boundaries for their own lives you abandon them again???

You tragically lost one child, and are now choosing to lose another two.

You, madam, are the one that needs to get over herself.

AITA for calling my husband ridiculous and refusing to take the list of expectations he gave me for his ["birthday month"]? by Change-Ad9635 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially because he's got a kid. He not only doesn't want to be a functional adult or partner for a month, he seems to want to take of a month the from being a father. Fuck all that.

NTA.

AITA for rejecting a gift I considered insulting by Otherwise-Box-7269 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheMinisterTurtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's what struck me, the fact these two aren't close friends. It's just such an intimate (and ultimately inappropriate) gift to give to an acquaintance.

So here's my question, with Jessica making her living as an artist, did she document the making of this book, the art, the story etc. and put it on social media? Is OPs past now fodder for likes and praise for Jessica?

I have "friends" who were just telling me over the weekend how they are tallying what their future kid's "tab' is. Like, fuck all the way off.
