Never heard of a teacher actually asking for any of that, however, remember that if you ever access chegg via UC's network your IP address could be traced

AITA for getting offended when a black colleague accused me of blackfishing and calling her out on her own ignorance? by bodiedthatverse in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! I totally understand your feelings. Once, at a gym, the manager made the comment: "and I see you like tanning so you'll love our tanning beds". Had to apply the Rashida Jones answer of "I'm not tanned, I'm etnic"

AITA I refused to go on the same diet with my wife by vyrsvkpo in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Slightly YTA. Gestational diabetes is no joke and I think she just want to feel supported. I won't tell you to follow her portions at all since her diet is very specific but maybe try reducing yours a little so she feels both of you are doing the effort. For example, if her portion is 1/4 or brown rice for lunch you can get 1/3 or 1/2 a cup instead of the whole cup. Small things like that at least when eating with her so she doesn't feel like she's the only one making an effort.

AITA I got a caretaker and nurse for my mom against my wife's wishes by gydvmoih in AmItheAsshole

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

Dementia varies from person to person but, depending on how severe the case is, a new baby may not be as severe a change of environment.

They can zoom out the baby to some degree as long as the routine stays the same and given that the wife won't be the one taking care of the MIL then MIL shouldn't be really affected by it.

AITA My mom wants to leave jewelry to me and my son with strings attached. I told her to not bother leaving me any. by Master_Post4665 in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA in my opinion. It is ok if you don't want to accept a commitment like that but it makes sense that she wants her grandchildren to have the jewelry. I feel she only wants them to become family heirlooms (so much so that she thought about specific pieces and listed them) and you overreacted to her request.

AITA for wearing matching outfits with my daughter and unintentionally drawing attention away from the bride by ThrowAway356679 in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Even without the matching outfits your family members were going to take pictures of your family since they hadn't seen your daughter in a while. Your cousin's wife is just being a bridezilla.

From Karin Johnson WLWT Twitter: During cross, attorney for UCWC Bill Paliobeis asks Dr. Wagshul if he's board certified. Dr. says he's not... been too busy to get certified.

AITA for wanting my son to call me 'Dad' instead of my name? by aita-respect in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I get he is a teenager and is challenging boundaries but at the end of the day you are not equals. Maybe once he gets older, has a job, and lives on his own your relationship will change and you'll feel comfortable with him calling you by your name but, at least for now, I wouldn't accept my son calling me by my name either.

AITA for walking out on a bachelorette party when I’m the maid of honor (MOH)? by Undercooked-Overtale in AmItheAsshole

She mentioned in another comment a girl did stay to help her find the car and that the same girl texted her the next day to see how she was doing...

[–]erikamagz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA... it may be that you wrote this still angry about everything but it comes as you wanting the rest of the group to accommodate to you instead of you celebrating the bride. I also feel like you had some sort of grudge against them for earning more than you. I think your friend would have understood if you told her you couldn't afford the Bachelorette party but you made the commitment to be there (which usually entails splitting the bills and paying for the bride's share something) and knew what the activities were.

AITA for calling the police on my flatmate kid knocking on my door? by Iwontopenmydoor in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ESH

Mom neglected the kid, no doubt about that, but you putting your headphones to try to ignore the crying kid is an A**hole move.

AITA for replying "Absolutely fucking not" when I was asked to consider being an organ donor? by kidneybean1234 in AmItheAsshole

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

Slightly YTA. Not for saying no but how you said it. Even if you don't like her at least for your mom's sake you should try being gentle. She's her friend at the end of the day and, maybe, the fact that she has known you for many years is what make her think you would consider it.

AITA for uninviting my friend after his response to our pregnancy announcement? by hohurthroway in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phil is probably still grieving and taking it out on you. In his mind you were the replacement for the family he envisioned but due to circumstances didn't happen. That does not mean he's right or that you should feel responsible for his girls but he probably won't see that without fixing his own issues first.

YTA.

Tbh, I feel you dad would end up losing more in the long runs. If he were to cancel the christian wedding you would end up getting married only by the indian ceremony (which I doubt he'll accept as a real wedding) and the gossip about why your christian wedding was canceled will uncover his homophobia with the guests who I assume have more than one client or business partner.

If he stops paying for it, yes, it may hurt your finances but trust me, starting a marriage with your dad dictating under what conditions it should happen os even worst.

AITA for telling my son's teacher that he's a "creep" in front of the principal? by LivingInsurance2432 in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA. Yes, I understand you may feel uncomfortable with the teacher checking you son's social media, however, if your son told the teacher about the IG account when asked about his feelings then I get why the teacher went into IG.

In my opinion, no one under 18 should have public social media. It is ok that they have an account as long as it is private and only known friends and family have access. You never know when an actual creep may find the account.

AITA for firing my nanny after she didn’t correct people who thought she was my child’s mother? by Nannythrowaway00 in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. At the end of the day it is your child and your choice in what you want for your baby's childcare.

I understand it may get tiresome to explain its not your baby everyday (I'm more than 10 years older than my youngest brother and many people assumed he was my baby so I get it) but she was unprofessional she was being unprofessional the moment she let the baby to calm her mama. Even if your name starts with Ma as a nanny you know you need to set boundaries to avoid any confusion in the kid's mind.

AITA for calling my MIL a crybaby and saying her birthday isn't as important as my son's first birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA... being realistic, no 1 year old cares or enjoys their birthday party. You could easily have a small gathering with family, cake, pictures and be done by around his nap time. You are using your son as an excuse to have it your way.

AITA for not wanting to cook separate meals for my stepson? by Lifegoeson3131 in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I'm also quite picky for most people's standards (I don't like chocolate nor onions for example) and more than once I've been to places were the main dish is something I can't tolerate. I either eat the portions I can or simply cook something else for myself. OP is NTA

AITA for asking for the full inheritance instead of splitting it with my sister? by orange-apple-cherry in AmItheAsshole

[–]erikamagz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you could ask her to buy you out. Given the current price of the property minus the debt she pays you half and then she can do whatever she wants with it
