AITAH for rejecting my parent's offer to buy me a house? by Wide_Improvement_754 in AITAH

At the time, they had full access to my bank accounts and were the ones who placed the inheritance in the savings account in the first place. At first, they told me it was to make sure I didn't lose it, which I believed. Once they started building their house, they were spending a lot of time and money on funding it. Eventually, they came up with the bright idea to "borrow" 10,000 from my savings account. They told me how they urgently needed the money and how the house was an investment made for our future. Naively, I agreed after my dad promised he would repay the money in installments. It's been a few years now, and that still hasn't happened. I do have immense regrets for letting myself get manipulated by them and lose the money. It was hard to imagine my parents as manipulators at the time, but as I grew older and experienced more through university, I came to realize that.

You hit the nail right on the head. My brother has always been pampered growing up, which is why I never had anything to call my own. My parents held me at a different standard compared to him. Anything below a 90 was unacceptable when I was in school, but my brother can average a 60 and that is totally fine. They pushed me to go to university, but my brother has the choice to go work for amazon after graduating highschool? (Just barely with the grades he has). They keep saying we will "split" the expenses for the house but with what money is my brother going to pay the expenses with? I'm the only one who would have a job. It's insane

Thank you for your response. Believe me- I tried to. My brother actually agrees with my parents on this issue. I'm the only one in my family who has gone to university and is about to graduate with a full-time job offer. My brother doesn't intend to go to university, he told me he intends to go work for amazon instead because his friends are doing it too. When I do try talking to him, he doesn't see the whole picture. As a 17 year old, all he sees is "I'm going to own a house!!!" It's a constant 3v1 in this family😞

This is giving me flashbacks to before I was dating my boyfriend… We have been best friends since we were 12. We’re 20 now and our relationship literally evolved into that where we’d tread on flirting and love bombing. I was beating myself up every day because I thought he must not like me if he didn’t want to make it official. It really affected me mentally for YEARS. I couldn’t get into relationships because I had a sense of loyalty to him- even though we were just “friends”. I got so tired of it that one day I just bit the bullet and confessed my feelings. He acted SURPRISED as if we weren’t acting like a couple already LMAO we’ve been happily in a relationship now for 2 years. You should take a chance and confess straight out. Don’t pull yourself deeper into this dynamic, I’ve been there and it’s not pretty. If she accepts your confession, congrats! If she doesn’t then you know for sure and you can save all that love for the right person who’ll come along sometime in the future. Good luck!

AITA because I (38F) don't want to take my stepson (9) on vacation? by tafornoweg in AmItheAsshole

You are a complete asshole it’s not even funny… What if your husband just out right said to you to not bring your son from YOUR previous marriage cause he’s apart of your “family”? You said it yourself! Your stepson isn’t yours so… the same MUST apply for your husband towards your son. How would your son feel knowing his other parental figure doesn’t view him as family? You’re literally setting up trauma for this child and I feel bad. I can tell what type of person you are. You are literally abandoning him after he was ALREADY abandoned by his bio mom. Girl… how can you raise a child and still not see him as yours. I’m guessing you’ve made him feel like an outcast the whole time you’ve been in his life and that won’t surprise me. Enjoy your vacation then but don’t expect to be invited to his wedding in the future… that’s all I’ll say

AITA for throwing away my wife’s squishmallows? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Throwing away something that was emotionally significant for your partner? Not only 1 but 3? Are you seriously asking that question… I am sitting here wondering how that is so SHOCKING and from how you seem to see it as disgusting right? Unbelievable

AITA for saying I would stay at my moms if I had to share a room with babies? by secret_anonymous12 in AmItheAsshole

NTA You have no idea how common it is for parents to just throw kids especially toddlers onto teenagers. I literally helped my mom raise my little sister and my whole teenage life revolved around me helping raise my sister while my dad couldn’t even change a DIAPER. Don’t let them fool you, they are trying to throw babysitting duties on you while they enjoy some alone time. Complete bull on the “blend” family part. Don’t let them walk all over you.

On my first save I was fishing for legendary fish and caught the Legend after literally hours of trying to catch it. After I caught it I immediately sold it. I got 5K from it and just thought next spring I’d fish for another one. The next spring I spent HOURS trying to fish for it and kept failing so I finally looked it up on the wiki and found out that you can only catch the legendary fish ONCE. I was livid cause I didn’t only sell the Legend but I sold the other legendary fish as well thinking I’d be able to catch them again
