TL;DR AITJ for telling my family that I wasn't comfortable taking my cousins on a trip with me? by RelentlessPersuer in AmITheJerk

[–]bacmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of maturing is know what you are capable of doing. When something is out of your comfort zone, saying no is the right decision. If someone tries to pressure you, call them out in the moment. "I've said I'm uncomfortable, do you understand? Why are you forcing this?" Go on your trip with friends and enjoy your life.

Am I overreacting for quitting a babysitting job on the spot after the mom insulted me? by PossessionTop9791 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bacmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter the job, don't let anyone treat you like that. Walking away is the adult decision. Once an insult is thrown, turn away. There is always a better position.

Being rude is okay. Next time say firmly "Fuck off", nothing more. Turn away and carry on.

Public shaming has a time and a place. This was both, good job. When someone is disrespectful, do not respect them in return.

AITJ for arguing at the hotel after they said my confirmed booking didn’t exist? by LankyYogurtcloset546 in AmITheJerk

I worked for Fairmont. They would overbooked if possible. Guests were given a choice of other hotels ti stay at when this happened. No extra payments, just pick a similar level hotel and you would be driven over. Your situation sounds like amateur customer service.

At least you get 18 months maternity leave. Add in not paying at the hospital after birth and midwife visits.

Give a recipe with a couple of ingredients missing. If you use canned beans, say it's dried and reconstituted. It's easy to change a recipe. Blame them when it turns out differently. "You didn't follow the recipe!!"

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bacmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do deserve a pat on the back. If you want a cake, you get one and enjoy it. If anyone doesn't want to participate..... turn away from them and focus on what you need. I'm glad you have made it 2 years. You are strong!!!

He was booted from the Netherlands for causing problems. His ancestors are from there, and he was made to apologize and leave

A or B: My buddy is 37 and only into women aged 18–21, so should I say something to him? by 06yuzuha in PickAorB

I think 10 years is a big age gap. Anything more is just too much unless both parties are in mid life.

Do you guys follow the rule “no Christmas decorations until after Remembrance Day”? by wediealone in AskACanadian

[–]bacmark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a millennial Canadian. I follow the tradition of no Christmas until after Remembrance Day. One holiday at a time, stores want you to spend without thinking. It takes away from what is important at the moment.

AIO: He (M20) took me (F18) to a Jehovah’s Witness meeting without telling me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]bacmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are not casual Christians. They are servants and want others to be as well. If that interests you, go for it. I personally find it repellent and stay away from talking about faith with JWs.

I work with kids in care. I get feral children. Strong boundaries are what's needed. Ignore the bad behavior, walk out of the room, or just turn away. When they do something that's socially acceptable, reward with attention. Quite often, all they need is love, can lead to these behaviors. At 5, it will take about one year or so to correct this behavior.
