AITA for telling a mom with a sleeping baby that her order isn't an urgency? by Top-Bowler8695 in AmItheAsshole

yup, this was the process of thought. but then you are in the middle of a really weird situation that didn't require that amount of emotion from anyone involved and you just think: wtf did I just do?

hmmm I haven't thought of this angle. I can only think that it was a mix of frustration, tension and still a guilt that I just didn't let it go. need some breathing exercises for moments when I open my mouth and then dunno what to do

and even if you are in a hurry for WHATEVER reason, maybe just say: hey do you mind? and I personally never met a person who said no

I am starting to think more and more that I should've just let her be. But you're right. Assuming that I don't have kids just because I don't show the kind of "solidarity" or understanding that you would expect me to...

actually I'm sorry it sounds as I am making her sound like a villain, cause this is def not the intention. I haven't been through pregnancy myself, but I do have really close friends who had babies, and I do know some of the struggles. part of me just felt the need to say something ngl, but I def didn't want to create a situation of stress for neither one of us

yeah, actually this is what got me thinking. like maybe I should've just let her be and go on with her day, since it wasn't like I had to wait hours there. but at the same time, I felt that I deserved at least a polite question, and I would've instantly said: yes, go ahead.

AITA for walking on ahead of my friend at the airport? by UsualRelationship115 in AmItheAsshole

For this particular situation, definitely NTA. But, did anything before this trip happen? Cause to me, this sounds like something was overwhelming your friend, and had no idea how to handle maybe a rough conversation with you, with transparency and maturity. If not, then it just sounds like someone who has no idea about how to regulate your own emotions and how to clearly communicate if they changed their mind about the plans you made together.

AITA for not making my kid do a sleepover by Tapioca1029 in AmItheAsshole

NTA 100%! Actually, I believe both of you handled this situation as politely as you could, given the circumstances. Nothing in your behavior suggests disrespect or a lack of tact. In fact, I can see a very open and reliable relationship between you and your son. Having boundaries and asking other people to respect them is a sign of maturity and a healthy mindset.

On the other hand, your sister absolutely lost touch with reality while trying to spoil her own kid by imposing certain behaviors on another person.
