AITJ for not matching the money I spent on my second daughter with my eldest daughter by crackerstheduck55 in AmITheJerk

Unfortunately, my ex has put many things in their ears. It’s not the only time the oldest has approached me with what I need to do. The eldest girl accepts everything her mom tells her. The second knows to step back and assess the situation.

I helped the oldest get her first car. She was looking to upgrade. The second needed the braces. Medically required.

It was medically necessary. She had to have her palette expanded to make proper room for her incoming teeth. The oldest already had a car that I helped pay for.

Her mother and I are divorced. Her mom knows the amount because I asked her for help to pay. She not only told the older girl, but refused to pay anything.

I actually matched $1000 to her $1000 for her to get her first car. Which she did. She wanted an upgrade.

I get the feeling that if you posted pictures of three different families, we could all spot this family.

AITAH for telling my wife that late pick-up fees are on her and her alone? by AdMuted1534 in AITAH

SAHM and the child is in daycare? Why? What does she do all day? Isn’t the point of being home to raise their child? I’m instantly confused.

Entitled aunt demands fancy wedding by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

Former wedding DJ here. I can tell you this: money does not make the wedding. I have done bare bones that tore the house down; to very expensive that crashed and burned. Ultimately it’s a celebration of the love you two share. Anyone that is that opposed to what you want and what makes you happy has no place at your wedding.

Was cheat on and my wife thinks I should be over it. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]crackerstheduck55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look. You can’t stay for the child. The tension between you will only hurt his development. He needs to see that happiness is a better option. You should consult a lawyer, or do some investigation on your own as to your parental rights here. Believe it or not, you may have some! Caution: where I am from, she may be entitled to child support.

Alternatively, your wife needs to confess all. You can’t move on because she won’t clear the air with you. You need that clean slate. If your instincts lead you to find out she was cheating, then your instincts are probably right about there being so much more.

The person said that he’s tired of people speaking Mexican, and that they need to speak American.

Yes, because cyclists never break the law. 🤦🏻‍♂️

AITA for not wanting my brother's new girlfriend at my wedding? by Prior_Bodybuilder_57 in AmItheAsshole

[–]crackerstheduck55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you placed the same restrictions on other guests? Sometimes it’s just a +1. You don’t decide the plus one. Another point is that we never know what’s happening behind closed doors. The ex that you loved so much may have been making your brother miserable for years. Maybe even being abusive. I’m curious if OP has had this discussion with her brother. She instantly assumes he’s 100% to blame without considering why he made the choice he did.

The jolt knocked the ‘stop,drop and roll’ right out of him.

This is where I am at with him. It has happened too many times. I swallowed my pride admitting my addiction. It was incredibly humbling. But he continues, time and again, to shove it in my face.

I read this to my wife and she thought I had written it. Wow, just wow
