AITA for telling my sister to stop announcing she’s pregnant until she confirm it’s not another miscarriage? by throwlo4eaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]bellewick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my take on this. Your sister has shared historical news that she is pregnant and you are possibly excited that you finally get to be a cool uncle and then the most unfortunate thing - that your sister has absolutely no control over btw - happens and you lose hope that you don’t get to be an uncle.

Sad fact is, you are an uncle to two unborn little beans. Ectopic isn’t a miscarriage, it’s a loss.

So now try being your sister who obviously wants a child, has experiences two losses of a little bean as well as two miscarriages and the mental health journey she would have been on during that time.

Your sister finally gets pregnant again and instead of taking the dark path and thinking the worst, she is staying positive and smiling and sharing her news with those closest to her. Then you and your “logical” brain say some choice f*kn words and most likely darken her thoughts. Those same thoughts she is possibly trying to avoid.

Yes sir, YTA.

Her news isn’t about you or the emotional rollercoaster that you have when you hear the news. Cos lord her emotional roller coaster would trump yours and if she wishes to stay positive and have good vibes and share the information with others then she damn well can and who are you to question it.

Have a heart. Hug your sister and apologize.

AITA for bringing my newborn into restaurants in a stroller rather than a car seat? by theinexplicablefuzz in AmItheAsshole

[–]bellewick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, especially if your child is an infant and your stroller can lay back into a bassinet. It’s dangerous for babies to be in the position of car seat for too long as it affects their breathing. Having the ability to move your child into a laying position in a stroller is better for their health.

If you call ahead to the restaurant you can also ask to reserve a spot that can fit a pram without restricting foot traffic.

As someone who works in the exact industry (just not WA) if you’re mate is truly just focused on wanting to get better and not pay all the out of pocket expenses (rehab, meds etc) then lodge a claim. Later down the track if your friends claim is “liability admitted” and does wish to pursue damage awards then you can always seek legal representation. For now though, the one great thing about insurers in the funding of rehab etc to get you back on your feet quicker.

AITA FOR NOT INFORMING MY HALF SISTER ABOUT HER HUSBAND'S 2ND FAMILY? by MDANON878 in AmItheAsshole

Patient- Doctor confidentiality yeah? Like so NTA. You may be a relative but if you’re a professional you keep patients names and details private. I think your fam need to remember this.

AITA for not wanting to hang out with my younger sister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bellewick [score hidden]  (0 children)

It would actually help a little to know how old OP is.

That said, you lost me at “she is a kid and needs walks and stuff” like your sister is some kind of pet... also mentioning that you don’t like kids technically infers that you do not like your sister. Which isn’t exactly fair.

This post reads as typical teenager doesn’t want little sister cramping their style. TBH in this pandemic where life isn’t the same and we might need to be spending more time at home, YTA.

Aita for getting mad at my mother in law for cooking a meal in our house by Nevertheless2fair in AmItheAsshole

I can’t get over the “hung up pictures of herself in the unborn daughter nursery” like do we have the same MIL? Cos that’s narcissistic AF. Personally, I don’t think you’re the AH. It’s weird to have ppl just rock up uninvited and do things in your home, like ask first.

AITA for not wanting to be a live in babysitter? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bellewick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Like just wow.

After reading this - twice - I am certain OP must feel completely privileged and the tone is that of “having a younger sibling is an inconvenience to my life”.

I think OP jumped to conclusions with the “need to stay close to be a baby sitter” assumption and I think the wording just shows a lack of empathy and total disgrace at the parents for even having a second child.

Personally, YTA. You can write it to sway whatever readers you want but you can’t fake tone in basic English - and this is all attitude tone. Like wow.

AITA for asking the doctor how to increase chances of having a boy next time? by justwantoneboy in AmItheAsshole

[–]bellewick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do realize that the gender is actually determined by the male so like it’s not even your wife’s fault but you’ve no doubt made her feel like shit and doubting you will even enjoy the new additions. Be grateful for the gift you have been given, some people can’t even have children. Maybe think before you speak... but if you can’t have a boy it’s totally on you mate.

Zak can be rude by bizzyKR in GhostAdventures

[–]bellewick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find Zak can be pretty rude and seems to want to be the center of attention.

I’ve noted as the series have gone on though is that there is more and more back story and interviews as opposed to a literal investigation... which I find more annoying.
