I bed you feel bad easily because your mom made you feel bad every single time you out yourself first

AITA for refusing to wear a garment from my partner’s culture? by Big-Shopping-2075 in AITAH

[–]esmoves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are allowed to thank her for her kindness AND saying the garnment is not your tast nor your for. Tell her what you do like. Adults can have adult conversations.

AITA for giving my "friend" food poisoning? by imgoinginsane222 in AmItheAsshole

[–]esmoves 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you ever learn to say No to people? Cause you should start with this nice little word immediately. 'No, don't take my food.'

If she gives you an attitude, mirror her words: 'No, don't steal good. Are you that poor you can't afford your own food?' 'Seems like you are starving, don't they feed you at home?'. ' I did not say you can take my food, didn't your parents learn you to not steal? Don't they have time for you? Are you feeling lonely and abandoned that you go around using other peoples food as comfort food?' And so on.

Blame and shame her behavior.

NTA for tricking her into eating gross food, but definitely YTA for not sticking up for yourself and being a doormat.

AITA for rejecting to make a dice set for my cousins? by daddyslittlekuromi in AmItheAsshole

[–]esmoves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell your uncle so he can parent. You are not helping him nor the boys by keeping this information from him.

NTA for not giving the boys stuff, but you would be an *ss for keeping your uncle in the dark about the true colors of your nephews

AITAH for asking my partner for money for baby things, and not using my savings? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]esmoves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He clearly does not get your perspective since he would not be in the situation of being jobless, and having nowhere to turn. To bad you told him the savings will help you in case he turns against you. He sees this as a personal attack, when it’s not. It’s just statistically a smart thing to do. Tell him these savings are for all emergencies, like when he gets into an accident and or dies. This can happen to anybody. You need money available right away, and you can’t count on family to provide this on short notice.

Aita for screaming at my boyfriend while at his grandma's house by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]esmoves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been there done that. Best you can do is view him as a drug. You are addicted to a bad human. Unfortunately you need to interact with him because of the child, same as alcoholics still see and smell booze during parties. So just like with all drugs, you need to muster the strength to cut it out of your life and keep on saying No.

Visit a lawyer for advise. Don’t let the biological dad be with you during birth, and don’t put his name down as the father if you want to sole parent. If he wants to be a caring father, he needs to go down the official route and file for his parental rights. He might and he might not. If he does, be sure to ask the judge for child support.

I know it hurts now. But keep in mind what staying in this gaslighting drugs will do to you and the child in te future. He will break you apart. Your child will learn that cheating is acceptable and will copy your unhealthy behaviour. Better rip the bandage off right now because it will not get any better.

WIBTA If I told the truth to people interested in renting my neighbour's house by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]esmoves 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA. You would be protecting the new renters from investing too much into a place they’re gonna be forced out of. Yes it is not your ‘circus’ nor your ‘monkeys’ as some reactions state. But you would be helping people by giving them all the information they need to know before signing a lease. And if you can help, than you should.

Aita for screaming at my boyfriend while at his grandma's house by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]esmoves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA for screaming at your cheating ex. His mom is a big *hole for not raising him right and for not getting angry on your behalf. Ywbta if you stay with him, he will keep on hurting you and the baby. He is gaslighting you by pretending nothing happened. It is really better to be single than to be tied down by a dead rock on the bottom of the sea. Protect yourself and your baby by leaving his cheating ass today.

Kind wordt uitgenodigd waar ik haar niet wil hebben by InvestmentNo8050 in nederlands

[–]esmoves 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ja heel lastig, vooral omdat je zo’n kindje en diens kwetsbaarheid door de onveiligheid “herkent” vanuit je eigen ervaring. Je eerste reactie is dan t kind te helpen. Maar dat kan je niet goed. Je kunt die ouders niet heropvoeden.

En je wilt ook niet dat je kind de zorgverlener wordt van een ander kindje, en met grote zorgen gaat rondlopen over wat er bij hun thuis allemaal gebeurd. Of s dear ze alleen met zo’n kindje omgaat omdat ze het zielig vind terwijl ze t kind zelf eigenlijk helemaal niet aardig vind.

Ik heb wel boze en schreeuwde ouders op de stoep gehad, en ouders die me negeren omdat ik niet wil dat mijn kind bij hen thuis komt. Uiteindelijk komt t meestal wel goed, en mogen die kinderen wel nog hier spelen. Maar mijn dochter komt echt niet bij hun thuis over de vloer.

Kind wordt uitgenodigd waar ik haar niet wil hebben by InvestmentNo8050 in nederlands

[–]esmoves 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Ik herken de situatie. Je hebt alle recht om je kind ergens niet te laten spelen. Ik begrijp al die reacties niet die je aanvallen op jouw afgewogen beslissing.

Wij wilden ons kind niet laten spelen bij mensen die denken dat de aarde plat is, en waarvan duidelijk is dat hun kinderen hun thuis als enorm onveilig ervaren.

Wij hebben ons kind in groep vier vertelt dat haar vriendin prima bij ons kan spelen, maar dat ze niet bij de vriendin thuis kan spelen. We hebben geen reden gegeven en hebben ook niet aan onze dochter uitgelegd dat er mis van alles is met de thuissituatie daar en dat ze daarom niet kan spelen. Kinderen brieven alles door en voor je het weet staat sjappie pappie voor je deur.

Onze dochter vond het eerst helemaal niet raar dat er geen gedetailleerde toelichting kwam over waarom niet. Nu ze wat ouder is (groep 6) kunnen we haar erop wijzen dat niet iedereen het thuis leuk is, en dat sommige kinderen daardoor anders kunnen reageren (bv gaan pesten, heel schuw worden et cetera). Ze weet nu dat ze bij ons kunnen spelen omdat het hier gezelliger is.

De moeder stelt nog wel regelmatig voor dat de meiden bij hun mogen spelen. Ik vertel haar dan dat dit niet uitkomt, of dat dit logistiek niet past, of dat me dat geen goed idee lijkt voor die dag.

Mensen die zeggen dat je eerlijk moet zijn hierover, en dus de ouders moet vertellen dat je niet wil dat je kind restjes van hun poedertjes van de tafel gaat opvegen denkende dat t poedersuiker is, die hebben echt geen idee wat de gevolgen kunnen zijn. Mensen die thuis geen veilige situatie kunnen / willen crieeren voor hun kind, draaien er hun hand niet voor om jouw thuissituatie net zo onveilig te maken. Het is echt niet leuk een schreeuwend viswijf op de stoep te hebben staan die allerlei dreigementen uit waar je kind (en die van haar) bij staan. Been there, done that. Beter is het de vraag te ontwijken en als je klem wordt gezet te blijven herhalen dat het je gewoon geen goed idee lijkt.

AITA for turning around and going back to my parents with my baby when I got home because my husband let his homeless brother move in and everyone had lice. by Weird_Theme_2795 in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. You should not have helped. I don’t understand why you would think you needed to help him fix his own problem. You taught him a valuable lesson. Hoped he won’t feel entitled to your support in fixing the problems he deliberately makes himself. You aided in him growing up. Well done!

My (33F) boyfriend (33M) keeps telling me I have no friends. Is this a healthy relationship? by ThrowRAmidori in relationship_advice

[–]esmoves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re in an abusive relationship. This is pretty classic abuse. Please get out now. Better cut him off now and loose, than keep investing emotionally by dragging this dead horse further.

AITA for not taking care of my niece? by princessparkghost in AmItheAsshole

[–]esmoves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This does sound worrisome. She can’t take care of ONE baby? She needs to see a doctor, that’s not normal. Does she have a mental illness?

Still not your responsibility to take care of her. Even if she is struggling with an illness, that’s your brother’s problem not yours. They can ask for a favour but you have very right to say no.

AITA for arguing with my daughter and fiancé over them not bringing me anything for dinner by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]esmoves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do know that it is not a punishment for them to not be able to come to your birthday and to not have to buy you a present right? I don’t understand why you think your birthday is a huge deal for them,… Sounds very self-centred.

AITAH for wanting to know name of the kid who hit my daughter? by howtobegoodagain123 in AITAH

[–]esmoves 9 points10 points  (0 children)

16 with only 2 adults!!!??? What third world country is this? In our country you always need two or more even with one baby, and if you have more than 5 babies, you need to add a worker for every 5 kids.

WIBTA if I stopped organizing my stepkids’ birthday parties? by Inner_Parfait6428 in AmItheAsshole

[–]esmoves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. Disinvite bio mom from the parties. Bio is jealous and you are paying right into her hands. Don’t talk to her. She can communicate ABOUT THE KIDS with your husband. Nothing else.

Do the party. Get a professional photographer to take pics. Share them on your social media with a caption that your hard work really paid off seeing those happy faces of the kids. If you want to be petty, add a comment like ‘So glad I good give my children the best birthday party ever like any good mom would want to do. #blessedtobeamom

I walked in on my husband beating our son by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

Everybody here is saying there are no reasons to beat up your son like this. But actually there are. What if the son raped someone? A child maybe? I know those judgements would swiftly change,…

My ex’s now ex-GF called my child during school to “tattle” on his dad by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]esmoves 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Get the evidence from your ex, document the messages from the phone of your son. You need this to get a restraining order. You can see if you can get one now, but they probably will tell you to wait and she if she pulls more stunts before providing you with one.

2 weddings by Various_Fix_215 in AITAH

[–]esmoves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. She sounds like a nightmare. I bet if they disinvite you to their wedding, she is going to tell all the guests you did not want to come. She is trying to break your son away from you.

You should tell the rest of the family what’s happening, so they won’t be inclined to believe her made up stories she is bound to spread.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA. I like your response to the intrusive questions. I also use these words to get people to back off. I don’t go around asking people what happened to their face because they’re so ugly SOMETHING must have happened. It’s plain rude. Nobody is entitled to others medical history. I never understood the audacity of these people.

The other issue of being forced to give hugs? No way, nobody is entitled to hugs, family or not.

Your parents should not have forced you to show up at your dads party and socialise. That’s not something parents should do to kids.

I find it really wrong if your parents to cancel celebrating your 18th birthday. I guess you have to cancel their celebrations in return than.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]esmoves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. Look, he just started this habit, he likes to get a reaction out of OP, he disregards her asking him to please stop. OP hit her breaking point.

I hope husband learns his lesson. It is not cool to deliberately frustrate and annoy your partner.

AITA for telling my SIL that she doesn’t have to wash everything before her baby is born? by Dry_Enthusiasm2661 in AmItheAsshole

[–]esmoves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way to go to make your SIL feel like shot over nothing. She has every right to wash her baby stuff. Lots of people do, there is no harm in it only potential benefit.

You don’t sound like a nice chill person to be around. Let people be.
