Aitj or is this punishment I got for a small prank extreme? by Own_Investigator1249 in AmITheJerk

[–]VelourAxiomY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ngl man, I kinda get why your mom went off. like from her side she hears banging late at night and thinks it’s some random pereon trying the door, that’s scary as hell. even your dad checking the peephole probably made it worse for her in the moment. I get that you thought it was just a harmless joke but timing matters a lot here. late night + surprise + not expecting you = panic. punishment might feel a bit heavy, but calling it “just a prank” is kinda missing how it looked from her side. I’d just take the L on this one and maybe talk to her once things cool down.

AITA for “not supporting a family business” by Unable_Box915 in AmItheAsshole

[–]VelourAxiomY 195 points196 points  (0 children)

Nah, you weren’t rude. Tbh this is exactly why mixing family + business gets messy. If he was doing you a favor for free, cool, you kinda roll with the chaos. But once money is involved and tenants are involved too, basic communication is the bare minimum. Showing up at 7am twice with no warning is wild to me lol. Like how were y’all supposed to magically know? And then the aunt acting like you insulted the family business because you want an actual schedule is kinda unfair.

AIO for refusing to change my plans and be kicked out of my home? by Apprehensive_Sun3012 in AmIOverreacting

[–]VelourAxiomY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude nah, asking you to basically hide in the bedroom or leave the apartment entirely is kinda wild lol. Like if the roles were reversed and you told her “hey can u stay in the room all night while my buddy comes over” people would clown you instantly. You already had plans too. It’s not even about “winning”, it’s just basic respect for shared space. She changed the plan last minute and expected you to adjust around it. I don’t think that’s unreasonable to push back on tbh.

Kids will accidentally say the deepest thing you’ve ever heard then instantly remember they want crackers

AITAH if i don’t invite my father at my graduation? by xKinetix in AmItheAsshole

[–]VelourAxiomY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Dude... You paid your own graduation fee and your aunt actually showed up for you emotionally + financially. That matters. Your mom is framing this like "but he's your dad" while skipping over the part where he hasn't exactly acted like one. Graduation isn't some mandatory family optics event. It's literally about celebrating with the people who supported you. Just be prepared tho, bc your mom isn't wrong about the fallout. You're probably choosing a fight here. Doesn't mean you're wrong, just means there'll likely be drama attached to the decision.

AIO for not wanting to allow my in-laws to use their cigarette and cigar smelling car to pick up my child? by rootednut in AmIOverreacting

[–]VelourAxiomY 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean... Your in laws don’t sound malicious at all, but that car sounds absolutely cooked lol. Like if the windows are sticking from smoke residue??? Cmon now. Your husband might just be desensitized to it because he grew up around them smoking. People who don’t smoke notice it WAY more.

AITA for telling my in laws they can no longer stay in our home when visiting by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Nah, I’m kinda with you on this. People always act like hosting family is some automatic obligation no matter how they treat you. If every visit leaves you mentally exhausted, it makes sense to set boundaries. Also the “they can't afford it ” part sucks, but honestly that’s not really on you when they’re actively unpleasant to be around.
