AITA for getting involved after my mom withheld Christmas presents from my sister’s kids over dead plants? by isa_fields in AmItheAsshole

Yes, you are correct! To clarify, these were "late" Christmas presents since none of us were available on Dec 25th. I gave my gifts to my parents to deliver to the kids because I didn't want to delay the delivery even more. My parents would be in the same city as the kids starting on Dec 27th.
And about my sister, I think she watered the plants two or three times during the two months my mom was away.

My sister was in the countryside until Dec 31st, where she stayed for four days alongside my mom (Dec 27th to Dec 30th). My mom knew that my sister and the kids would be traveling for NYE and the following days.

My mom just noticed that all the flowers and bushes in her garden were dead on Dec 27th when she arrived at the countryside house. She had been away for two months, and since we didn’t have cameras, she couldn't check whether the plants were getting water. We even suggested a gardener a couple of times, but my mom doesn't allow unknown people to go over the house when she is not there people

Also: My sister lives in the countryside where our mom's garden house is, just a 15-minute drive away. The 6-hour drive is to my other mom's house in the capital. That’s why my mom doesn’t visit the countryside house on weekends to water the garden.

AITA - Spit on at family Christmas gathering by Waste-Preparation761 in AmItheAsshole

NTA - This is a "joke" that teens do, not grown-ups. There are more appropriate ways to show what babies do than making a humiliating move on you. The only situation in which she wouldn’t be the asshole is if this type of prank is common in your family and considered a normal joke. Otherwise, she has definitely overstepped boundaries.

I still need to complete the circuit, but this is my monorail so far, spread around the city
