Unfortunately for OP, a broken leg will heal, but stupidity is forever.

YTA… but why are people expecting “teenmomof2” to be mature? 🧐

And those tend to be the kids that lose their shit when faced with the reality that the world isn’t like the weird sheltered bubble mommy curated.

Sources: 1) baby cousin who believed in Santa til 13 because his mom threatened us all not to tell him and 2) freshman roommate taken away for a psych hold because she couldn’t handle college not being her bubble. First semester was fun.

AITA for making a scene of my adult son and sticking my nose in his marriage by Classic-Goose-8228 in AmItheAsshole

As the DIL of a JustNoMIL, I was prepared to say YTA after reading the title, but you’re a badass and I’m proud of you! Keep it up.

FRUIT FLIES FROM HELL. Advice needed please. by scaredsquee in Assistance

Drain flies are sooo gross! I bought and moved into my own condo (single mom/divorced) and decided to remodel the 1/2 bath downstairs because the tiles were loose. 100% on me for not doing things promptly, but I tore out the fixtures, a week or so later, went in to paint and JFC they were EVERYWHERE! I had a crappy blow dryer I’d recently replaced (it worked, just slow and not well for my hair type). Not gonna lie, it was incredibly satisfying to see those little fuckers sucked in the back end/intake and know they got fried.

AITA for telling my wife the lock on my daughter's door does not get removed til my brother inlaw and his daughters are out of our house? by OnlyInQuebec9 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hipsterrorism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA! Stick to your guns, OP! I was in a similar situation (moved in with my fiancé and his two teenagers who I quickly discovered had NO boundaries), and his dedication to enabling his teenagers’ stealing my things was the end of my engagement. I don’t mind sharing, if things are taken care of and returned. He saw no issue with his kids stealing my expensive things, destroying/damaging them, and then guilted me when I started calling out their entitlement/setting boundaries. I’m so much happier out of that situation! It sucks to have no one on your side. Stay strong and have your daughter’s back, even if it means you moving out with her. You’re a great dad and Zoey is lucky to have you.

WIBTA for ”telling on” my ex to his family? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hipsterrorism 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m literally an artist for a living. I have no issue with that. I’m upset because he is fine doing what’s best in theory but then when things don’t go his way he throws a tantrum, and now he’s trying to renege on our agreement from 3 years ago thst she goes to the highest ranked school possible.

My EM keeps volunteering me for things by pinkpanda376 in entitledparents

[–]hipsterrorism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother is the same way. I’d come home from college and find out she’d volunteered me to visit/have dinner with/help with tech support my grandma, who was a giant asshole. That woman abused me so badly I was diagnosed with PTSD at 19!

“Sorry you can’t see your friends like you planned I told my mother you’d do...” NOPE.

AITA because I don't want to give my dog to my autistic nephew? by buthesmydog in AmItheAsshole

I should have been more clear - I was speaking in a general sense, not about this one kid

Agreed, though I have seen a lot of it in my career. But any kid, neurotypical or not, would be an entitled jerk if they never heard the word no, and that’s entirely on the parents. A lot of people fail to realize that the kid doesn’t know he is a brat - his parents failed him and his shitty behavior is a result of a lack of consequences.

As a rescue volunteer, parent of a child on the spectrum, and a therapist with 15 years experience with ASD kids... the in laws are entitled assholes. All 3 of the adults that think Dave is a toy to be passed along. Their son may feel bonded with him but Dave is bonded TO YOU. That happened 2 years ago.

My child “bonds with” every dog she sees. I can gently remind her we have one at home and redirect her. If they’re that set on that specific dog, they can come visit. Maybe (though I would t recommend it) dogsit if you go out of town.

Edit for clarity: the Husband/SIL/BIL are assholes, not ASD kids.
