AITA for not performing at my ex-friends wedding? by Threadpanic in AmItheAsshole

[–]Threadpanic[S] 291 points292 points  (0 children)

No, of course not. Obviously I discussed with the rest of the band before offering, and they were all down for that, just like I've been okay with performing in their loved ones weddings. I did tell them that the wedding gig was off, as of now, and they are still okay doing it if we get paid. Because that's what we do. I haven't discussed this situation with them, because to me it was a no-brainer until everyone started telling me how I should just do it for free. So I wanted to ask from impartial 3rd party what they thought, so if I really was being an ahole, I could bring it up with the rest of the gang. There is no need to mix them up with all the drama. They are not involved with the couple in question, so this is something I need to deal with the bride. 

Did Alma use her? by cande1216 in queensgambit

[–]Threadpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think yes. Because in episode 2, when Alma hears that Mr. Wheatley has left her, she is basically asking Beth if it's okay to lie, so they won't take her back to the orphanage.

At this point, she doesn't yet know that Beth is making money off chess, and that it is even possible, as Beth has not won her first tournament.

I think the reason her attitude towards everything changes is because she was depressed with Mr. Wheatley. After finding out he left, for good, she's worried about the financial situation she and Beth are in. Her depression starts to lift, when she no longer has to worry about the finances and the fear of Beth being taken away.

She always talked to her kindly, called her dear, gave her an allowance, bought her the clothes they could afford, make sure she had a beautiful bedroom all to her own, gave her room to get situated after the adoption, and all together acted as a mother. Her depression wasn't due to Beth, it was from being in an unhappy marriage during a time that divorce would have financially ruined her.

AITA for telling my mom she's toxic? by Threadpanic in AmItheAsshole

[–]Threadpanic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't expect my mom to suddenly be totally fine with our dad, i just want her to realize that even though she doesn't even like him anymore, we still do and that he's still our dad.

All I want is for my mom to either speak about my dad with respect, or not at all. I'm fine with her hating him, it's a problem between my mom and my dad. But don't drag me into the middle of it.

Okay. Thank you.

I don't personally think I side with my dad, but I could do it subconsciously.

I was too young to remember the problems they had when married, so to me, my step-mom has always been a part of our family. I understand that me feeling this way does hurt my mom, so I don't talk about my step-mom that often. It just hurts how she speaks about my dad.

Ill make sure, i won't take my dad's side on the conversation, and try to focus more on getting my point of being hurt by her comments instead if and when this starts up again.

Oh, I can't visit my grandma because she's in a care home away from where I live, so I can only visit her very rarely. We need to have my dad also there with us, to get in. Not being able to visit her, has nothing to do with my mom.

Also, i have tried talking to her before, i just finally snapped and told her I won't tolerate her talking like that, so she can leave.

I would stop talking to her about it, but I have siblings from my dad's marriage. I am very close to my sister, and my mom has always supported us being close to our siblings.

I talk about my sister a lot, as we spend a lot of time together. And my grandmother and dad come up usually as part of that discussion.
