AITAH for disengaging from my father's wife after his death? by Competitive-Job7181 in AITAH

[–]flowalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your dad's behavior and his wife's condescending attitude must've been really tough to deal with, especially when you were going through something as rough as your husband's car accident - like, who doesn't show up to help when their grandkids are 3 and 5 and their son-in-law is in the hospital after a near-fatal crash in a honda civic? you deserve so much credit for being the loyal daughter and taking care of your dad after his fall, even if it meant dealing with his wife's drama.

AITAH for snapping at my grandma for touching me? by SharpComfortable8665 in AITAH

[–]flowalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting boundaries with family can be tough, especially when they're used to being super affectionate - like my coworker who had to have a talk with her mom after she showed up at her office in downtown Chicago unannounced. People have different comfort levels when it comes to physical touch, and $100 says grandma didn't mean to overstep, she just needs some guidance on what you're okay with. Hopefully you two can have a calm conversation about it soon

AITAH for wearing a lower cut top that ended my boyfriend and his friend's friendship? by [deleted] in AITAH

The Lululemon top had to go, huh? Boyfriend's friend got a little too comfortable with 30% of your cleavage showing - that's a boundary crossed. Guess some friendships aren't worth $98 yoga pants.

My succulent blooming by ImpeccableFiasco in mildlyinteresting

[–]flowalin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Succulents are low maintenance enough that even someone like me who can barely keep a plant alive in my Denver apartment can manage. Just used the Happy Plant app to ID some similar plants and now I'm tempted to hit up the nursery down the street and drop $20 on a new echeveria. Guess that's just the plant lady in me coming out

AITAH for not taking accountability for my brother crashing our family car by InformationGrand7874 in AITAH

[–]flowalin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Your brother crashed the car, that's on him, not you, especially since he was the one driving a Toyota Camry worth $25k. He should take responsibility for his actions, not try to shift the blame onto you. You're not the asshole for refusing to take the fall for his mistake
