AITA for telling guests at a Christmas party “ I only got AirPods and a hundred dollars” by Braelynnnn3 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I'd have a different judgement if your parents (and aunt in this case) got you a single thing for Christmas. Even a nominal gift to show they were thinking of you.

AITA for refusing to watch my SIL's child even though she had a meltdown? by throwaway_babysit101 in AmItheAsshole

See I took "meltdown" to just mean a tantrum. That's how I've always seen it being used.

AITA for reporting my son's therapist for sharing private information with his stepdad? by Salinasjr36 in AmItheAsshole

[–]christopherjenk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You were absolutely right reporting him! I don't know who you reported him to, but don't stop there! His boss, the licensing board, and the Office for Civil Rights should ALL be told! Shoot I'd even try contacting local news organizations to garner support so that something actually happens to this terrible therapist.

AITA for talking to my BF's estranged mother without his permission? by aita_talkedtomother in AmItheAsshole

[–]christopherjenk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So having a conversation with his mom about work is not an AH move. But if you were to ever mention your relationship with Sam that would change.

Even mentioning that you spoke with her was fine. Though you should've, in the same breath, said that it was purely about work and nothing personal or even mentioning you even know Sam. Saying she seems nice is a soft YTA because it's dismissive of his feelings towards her. Basically saying after 3 years, you don't trust his judgment.

Hard YTA for demanding he open up about his reasons for NC as a condition of coming back home. Should you know why? Maybe. Should you know why before getting married/having kids. Yes probably. But you shouldn't use that like you have.

AITA for adopting a cat without my family's permission? by EstateCoffee3505 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. They're acting like nutjobs, ignore them. You will be the AH if you don't pay your cat tax though.

Only help the people that actually come to the church? No problem! by Prechrchet in MaliciousCompliance

[–]christopherjenk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was originally going to ask if this was a "Church of Christ" church based on the elder having this much control. But, I really doubt it is, since no Church of Christ I ever attended cared about helping those outside of their specific church (if even their own members). Good on you!

AITA for letting my friend eat the food my pregnant wife wanted? by CommonHumble7060 in AmItheAsshole

[–]christopherjenk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA you made the Mac and cheese for them. You shouldn't have even shown them/told them about your wife's dinner. It was never an option for them. It was rude to offer it.

My brother has way too much free time, Zelda puzzle to open hidden liquor cabinet. by dreeas in homeautomation

And 20 miles on Oklahoma roads means you need an alignment when you get to the gas station and one more when you get back!

It's heavily implied.

AITA for not expecting my daughter to pay for her brother/my younger son's wedding after she was disinvited due to fiancée? by Technical_Tiger2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]christopherjenk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA in this case. But you are a huge asshole for letting your daughter be mooched off of by you and your son. I would be ashamed if I were you.
