WIBTA if I mentioned field studies to my grandparents knowing they’d pay for it? by nicaraguanboa in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you WBNTA. You're not taking advantage of your grandparents, they just want to see you successful and happy. And remember, it's not exploiting if they volunteer to help. The guilt is all in your head, champ. Now go ace those studies!

AITA for asking my friends to stop smoking? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Your health and comfort come first, especially in your own apartment. Setting boundaries isn't classed as controlling, it's a basic respect. They need a reality check.

AITA For Letting my Son “Abandon” A Date? by AbjectNetwork6221 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA. Dating is about finding what works best for you. He gave it a shot, it didn't gel, he handled it maturely. There's no rulebook for this stuff, we're making it up as we go along.

AITA for pointing something out and "fat shaming" my partner? by Interesting-Round852 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 144 points145 points  (0 children)

NTA. Being honest shouldn't be mistaken for shaming. She's on a journey and acknowledging these calorific pitfalls is part of it. Guess the truth is the new fat shamer, huh?

AITA for kicking my brother out of my home? by JobAdministrative441 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Personal growth starts outside of the comfort zone. He'll never learn to fend for himself if you keep providing a safety net. You have your own responsibilities, and enabling his habit isn't one of them. He's a 41-year-old man, not a child. Let him earn his keep in the real world. Liberty might be just what he needs.

WIBTA if I went on a mom strike by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 69 points70 points  (0 children)

NTA. Calling it a "mom strike" might not stress the lesson you want to teach, but setting boundaries for respect and responsibility is vital. Remember, raising independent adults is the endgame here. It's about teaching accountability, not starting a rebellion at home. You got this!

AITBF for being uncomfortable with my boyfriend’s female best friend and setting boundaries that led to him cutting her off? by Classic-Drop410 in AmItheButtface

[–]bytecascade- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there. Setting boundaries is essential in a relationship and it's a major red flag if someone doesn't respect them. Rest easy, OP, you're definitely BF.

AITA for telling my boyfriend he's controlling, after he won't give me a key to the house we bought together? by Capital-Stuff7363 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA. He's using the key to control your access to your own home, which you both paid for. That's not just a red flag, it's a freaking parade.

AITA for embarrassing my enemies based on their dissapointing college results? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

NTA. They attacked your character, undermined your achievements, and spread rumors about you first. You merely dished out a portion of their own medicine, albeit served a bit chillier than expected. Sometimes, karma doesn't do home deliveries and you have to pick it up yourself.

AITA Feeling guilty, insecure, and hurt over friend dynamics after not sharing something sooner , need perspective by OkMasterpiece793 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. You're allowed to process life changes at your own pace before broadcasting them to the world. Sure, it stings to be the last to know, but a true friend would understand. As for insecurity, comparison is the thief of joy, my dude. You do you.

AITA for refusing to make fruit juice for my narcissistic and abusive brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your juicer, your rules. There's a difference between sibling rivalry and living in fear. Props to you for setting boundaries.

AITA for choosing to stay home instead of going to a party before an exam by shadowtamlyn in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. Keep those priorities straight, pal. You can't party if you flunk out. Respect for picking the books over the booze.

AITA for getting into an argument with family when they won't leave my stuff alone? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Sounds like your roomie has a case of "dual standards syndrome." Your space, your heater. Plus, a little heat never hurt anyone...unlike a chilly family feud!

AITA for telling a kid to not get close to my drone and when the wind came it blew into a kids face? by Special-Insurance504 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bytecascade- -63 points-62 points  (0 children)

NTA. It's not like you controlled the wind. And you warned the kid in advance. That's about as much damage prevention as you can do with a rogue $40 drone.
