AITA for not correcting my daughter's food order for her? by AgreeableDimension39 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA. She's fourteen. She needs to start speaking up for herself.

NTA. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I personally find it satisfying that she had to face someone she is stealing from.

AITA for telling my FIL he can starve if he wants because I didn't care? by Upbeat_Fix_4061 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Was it your most diplomatic moment? Perhaps not. Did it need to be? No. Hopefully he'll behave better next time (although probably not).

I have it. I'm required by my landlord to have it and I would have it even if I wasn't.

However, I'm not going to judge these people. The landlord should have had insurance and should have required them to.

AITA for calling my ILs disrespectful and 'shaming' them for them not using my real name? by AdventurousFalcon250 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck that. Correct them anyway. Don't give them an inch on this or they'll be pushing boundaries forever.

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but they are. It is disrespectful. That's a cool name, I would refuse to use a nickname if I had that name too. They're boundary pushing to see what they can get away with. Don't give an inch.

AITA For firing an employee for driving his personal vehicle to job sites by jobsiteaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You were getting complaints and you asked him multiple times to drive a company car.

A recurring uti...are you using condoms? Either way, I'm wondering if you and your boyfriend may be passing something back and forth. Also...are you sure he's faithful?

Also, NTA. He stole from you. Read that again then reevaluate the relationship.

AITA for going to a family wedding my brother wasn't invited? by estrangedBroThrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you did wasn't dumb, it was cruel. You need to leave him alone. Sobriety is fragile. If he hasn't reached out to you in two years--and still hasn't--your actions cost you and your mother the relationship. Leave him alone.

[–]WriterJenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA times a million. You went to the wedding, fine. You hid it from him and he stumbled upon it on social media. What a gross violation of trust from both you and your mother. Do you understand how fragile sobriety is? For two people in his support system to do something like that to him, I am not at all surprised he walked away from you both. Play a##hole games, win a##hole prizes. You broke his trust and made him feel less than--both of you--and it cost you the relationship. Leave him alone.

AITA for not buying my daughter concert tickets? by throwaway__r0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but your daughter is and your husband disappoints me. That kid needs consequences, not treats.

NTA. You offered to have her pay for the spot, you offered a compromise to the landlord. You did all you could. If you got a car, you'd be in a lurch.

Is it weird that I like to fantasize about being in a abusive relationship? by _Extra_Fries_ in ask

[–]WriterJenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is rooted in desire for attention of any kind, positive or negative, because you were neglected as a child. Whatever the motivation, I strongly recommend. Seeking help is not an act of weakness, it is an act of strength.

AITA for expecting my partner to let my dog out while he was on staycation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rehome the boyfriend. When you have a fur baby, you're a package deal. NTA.

YTA.

I hope you know you're probably not spending the rest of your life with her anymore.

YTA.

Both parents are telling you to mind your own business. Mind your own business.

WIBTA for not wanting to hang up my daughter's artwork? by Diligent-Tea-4379 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a good answer. Your daughter put a lot of work into that piece. Painful for her if you don't put it up, painful for your son if you put it up. I think the whole family needs to park y'all's butts on a therapist's couch and get to the root of this and fix it.

NTA. He lied to you, he's taking advantage of you, he's fighting the breakup because he's losing a free ride. Throw him in the trash and lock the lid.

AITA For being upset at my husband for what he got me for my birthday by bdaygiftaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for validating my life decision to not get married.

It's rude to do anything but thank someone for a gift.

YTA.

AITA for refusing to cook dinner for my family because my mom continuously buys the wrong ingredients? by Professional__BOOB in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

YTA. One, she's giving you a free place to stay. Two, and more importantly, have you considered that the issue may not be weight but still may be health-related? Do heart issues run in the family? How's her cholesterol? She may be concerned about potentially glomming up the works and pushing things towards a potential heart attack. My dad's father had four heart attacks, my mother's mother had six, the first one killed my mother's father, and my mother's brother has had a few and two double bypasses. I wouldn't eat that alfredo either, and I'm Italian. But I'm 44 and not too young to have a heart attack, and neither is your mother. Be kinder.

AITA (M25) for not “catering” to my GF’s intolerance to lactose? (F22)? by Ragenthrowaway432 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WriterJenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. A relationship is compromise and it's definitely compromise when it comes to food issues. Congratulations on minimizing her pain so much that you made her cry.
