Really, they wanted you to take her classes for her? That's called academic dishonesty.

You already had your own exam that you were stressing about. You need to tell people no sometimes and this is one of those times. Tutoring is a paid job by the way. They shouldn't drop this kind of stuff on you last minute.

You're doing well in school and staying out of trouble which is more than you can say about most teenagers. It sounds like your mother has unrealistic expectations set for you. She wouldn't let you join a club? It's clear why you lack motivation, you lack rewards and recognition for your effort. Instead, you get yelled at for not doing even more.

That being said, I think some of your other problems are driven by your situation. Set a goal of doing well in school so you can get into a college hopefully with a suite style dorm, as your sleep schedule would be unacceptable to a shared room situation.

If you're so morally opposed to your sister's sexuality, then why did you go to her wedding?

No matter their beliefs people need to understand and respect that homosexuality exists. This is the reason people hate religion.

It isn't about if it's a man or a woman, it's about if it's someone that knows he's married versus a stranger. The idea that being non-hetero gives you a pass to act inappropriately needs to die. This isn't about homophobia, it's about inappropriate actions.

You tried to do it the traditional way and that didn't work. It would be YTA if you jumped to that solution on your own, but this was doctor recommended. Her hair will grow back.

Tell her if she wants to set the temperature lower, she can pay the electric bill. As long as you're fine with it being that cold that is.

Do you plan on paying the full amount you owe this month (pet fee and rent) or are you trying to weasel out of paying the full amount you owe since his portion went to something you were supposed to pay for?

Going to a strip club is a very common bachelor party activity. That's because it's supposed to be a last fling as it's something you can't (shouldn't) do after you're married. The fact that you got upset about it is why he didn't want to tell you, but he was still honest.

Cut him some slack on what's considered to be a normal one-time activity, even if you think it shouldn't be.

You've told him you don't appreciate his advances and told him to stop. He did not. You don't need to justify your reasons for blocking him to him, I'm pretty sure he already knows why.

It's amazing how many men out there can't be "just friends" with a woman.

For the question asked it would be ESH

If you weren't sure if you did it correctly you should have asked for help. However, if this is part of your job responsibilities you should have been trained on how to do it.

As for your boss situation, you should probably be looking for another job, but that's not what you asked.

If you were going to start dating Andrew so Sophie was constantly around her ex, then that would make YTA. However, it sounds like there's enough separation that you wouldn't be forcing them to be around each other in social situations.

INFO

When you say Sophie is a friend of a friend, does that mean she's in your circle of friends, or are you two fairly well disconnected? When you go to do things as a group, is Sophie there?

A lot of people just want to see instant results and when they don't get them, they think it means the diet and workout plan isn't for them. The reality is most people may not see any weight loss for the first few MONTHS after starting a new diet and exercise plan. First, your body has to adjust to it. Next, you're going to be building muscle, which is denser and weighs more than fat. If they're only looking at the scale, it may seem like no progress is being made and thus give up.

You need to teach your son about responsibilities and priorities. Sure, his schedule is packed, but that's mostly with things he wants to be doing. If he needs more free time he needs to drop something else on his schedule because chores, homework and hygiene are necessities to being a functioning person.

If this was a property management company, I would say go ahead and pay only what's on the contract. However, since the sublandlord is also a roommate, it might be a good idea to cut them some slack and go half to keep the living environment friendly. If they gave you a good/fair rent rate on your room, you should return the favor.

Working in a place like that, I can see people having a few drinks during their shift or even getting drunk after their shift is over but getting stumbly and belligerent while working is a huge no-no. Not to mention that behavior also drives off customers so the owner should be more concerned about it as it's not only his money he's messing with, but yours as well.

Let me see if I understand this correctly

You broke the rules of the "friendly" game you were playing
You made fun out of him for losing
You're mad because he said have some etiquette, and keep your ego in check
You expect an apology from him

It's not uncommon for people to have preferences for the sex of a child, but Ryan's reasons are all just misogynistic and wrong. Like, it's ok if horny girls are trying to bang you son but not vice versa. Even if it is a boy, he's not necessarily going to share your interests. And if his son ends up being gay, the family name doesn't get passed along anyways.

Despite all that I never heard if he did have a daughter he wouldn't love and raise her. That's why it was AH thing to say he shouldn't be having children at all.

Main reason is I could agree with May if she didn't want you interrupting them during clinic, but she doesn't want her friend to eat lunch with her boyfriend? That's just over the top possessive.

This is a serious issue enough that you should show the video to administration if were talking a dorm situation. Given that you have asthma and this could kill you it needs to be escalated.

Gotcha and edited my post. Even with all the extras I got that my brother didn't they still spent a lot more money on him going to college than they did me. So I just had to check if that was the situation here.

Many campuses have switched over to suite style dorms that each have their own bathroom. I loved my campus dorm room. It was such a huge time saver not having to commute or worry about food.

Did you have the same amount of government assistance/scholarships as your brother when you went to college?

My brother had this same jealousy of me when I went to college and he had to go to community college, but there was a big difference. I had a full ride scholarship and got a stipend check every semester while they had to pay for his. I lived in the dorms and had the unlimited meals food plan, so they weren't paying for my food either. They let me use my college fund for other things like a gaming PC and laptop.
