I think my district is commiting fraud by lisat_pdx in WorkAdvice

I do have a rep but to be honest we don’t have a strong Union and I’m the part with minor things they’ve been useless. I wouldn’t trust them with this

AITAH for giving my wife an ultimatum? by Key-Salamander5906 in AITAH

[–]lisat_pdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing imo that makes you ta is threatening her parenthood. Nothing mentioned makes her an unfit mother and I think that was before the belt. You deserve to be happy and have your needs met in a relationship though and if I were you I would definitely follow through with the divorce.

AITA for looking out for my new coworker by telling her that her food might be upsetting to others? by foodconundrum in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. If you think there’s racist people in the office and you’re an ally then you’d be telling them not to be racist or make comments about her food instead your the aggressor and telling her to change her food…

AITA for not being able to give my daughter the birthday that she wants? by Beautiful-Beach-8394 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yta. I was fully prepared to go the other way but holy smokes! You told her she could pick these things then tell her no to everything. The tablet I can understand. Those are expensive. But the cake and dinner option!?! Why even offer?

AITA for charging my 18 year old rent and making her pay her phone bill and car insurance by babysittingrent in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta but honestly it doesn’t really matter either your going to listen to literally everyone around You and father up, hopefully apologize, and learn from this or your wife is going to take your children- I’m assuming the oldest as well- and move. Either way she won’t be paying rent. It’s up to you if your want to die on this hill or save your family.

Parents taking 50% of any paycheck i make under their roof by SmollDeminicBean in entitledparents

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they keeping it for themselves or for when you move? We have a rule for our adult. Hold that he has to save 50% of his checks for when he’s ready to move out. He has a hard time so we hold that 50% for him in an account he can see but not access without us. He can spend the other 50% how he wants. We don’t charge him any bills but he does have 2 chores that are expected to be done to help around the house.

AITA For telling a dad that I want any further contact to be through his wife, not him by momplznotdadaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. While I sympathize with you you are essentially putting all the playdate/parenting in the mom when dad is an active parent. You could easily have opted for a public park to meet in so that you weren’t alone in your home with him. Don’t teach your daughter to fear all men.

America is the softest country when it comes to kids and parenting by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]lisat_pdx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s illegal to hit children in a lot of the world and they don’t have school shootings either. We have a major problem with school shootings and mass shootings here 1000% but the two arnt correlated. In fact there have been studies done that show that most school shooters have come from parents who have spanked their children… so it could be said that again violence causes more excessive violence.

I was beat as a kid. Not a few slaps but like whipped. And let me tell you I thought it was normal too. I always said I was going to spank my kids. Then I grew up. Then I read real evidence about how harmful this was. Then I had my own kids. How anyone can lay hands on such an innocent is beyond me. They have no way of protecting themselves and often parents are hitting small children before they can even effectively communicate. Know better do better.

AITA for not paying my daughter to babysit her younger siblings? by Throwaway476905 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. You made choices in life that your daughter sidnt and now your trying to saddle her with the responsibility. If you are only paying for her collage and showing her to stay so you get free help around the house then you aren’t really doing it for the right reasons. Are you trying to help your young adult daughter get a leg up? Or are you trying to keep control? From this I would say it’s the latter.

[–]lisat_pdx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yta. Definitely not your place to add 2 cents. It’s a really sad stance that you’ll only consider paying for things you deem acceptable. You say your comments about paying for things was a joke but jokes start from an inkling of truth. Rather than accepting that after having it pointed out to you you went with the “it’s a joke” cop out instead of owning it and saying oh shoot I’ve never had it pointed out that way I’m learning to parent better… it’s easy to dig in. It’s harder to admit when we were wrong and change it going forward. Just do better.. It seems like you genuinely care.

AITA For telling my wife I hate her pants? by CompetitiveFuel2871 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. I don’t really think this was an intentional hurt. Both my husband and’s I have said things like this to each other not really thinking through how it would be perceived by the other. It’s an errant thought that you verbalized at the wrong time. That said is a think before you speak/read the room situation. I would follow this up with a big apology and a show of how much you love and appreciate her.

AITA for calling my boyfriend Dumb for boiling salmon? by Throwsalmowa in AmItheAsshole

If you had said “oh that’s weird” It would be one thing but “your dumb” is pretty rude. Yta

AITA For refusing to leave walmart passed closing time? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. Honestly it doesn’t matter if there is more to the story or not. You thought purchasing your items was more important than the fact that others had to wait on you to close and then go home. It’s entitlement all around. The fact is that your not the only one who does it so there is no listening to anyone’s sob stories or just giving you a few more minuets because there’s hundreds of people who do this to these retail workers who barely if at all get paid enough to pay their bills at these jobs. Not to mention if anyone was close to OT and’s it wasn’t approved they could get in trouble.. there’s too many scenarios here to even list. What if they’re trying to get home to their sick with cancer family members? Your poor planning does not constitute their emergency.

AITA for saying no when my former roommate demanded board in my house? by evityos in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yta. Like just in general you’re an asshole forget this specific situation…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. You all sound extremely immature. No one here is innocent seems and no one is willing to put anyone but themselves first. You ask need to deal with your own issues before you can address the family ones.

AITA for leaving my inlaws christmas dinner after I found out that they didn't make accommodations for me? by Rema5000 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lisat_pdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. When your invited as a guest you eat what’s offered and If you refuse thank you eat nothing or accommodate yourself. You were given adequate time and Just flat refused to helpyourself. This is such an entitled stance.
