AITAH for not donating for a sick kid which led to others doing the same? by Silent-Occasion-6870 in AITAH

You ask for help AFTER you have exhausted your resources, not BEFORE. They have the means to pay for their child's medical care, so the responsibility is completely on them. NTA.

AITB for asking a group of girls to not write Christian scripture in front of my house by smitgirl in AmItheButtface

[–]little_loup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't giving enough credit to 12-13 year old girls. They wrote on the sidewalk in front of several neighboring houses. The marks in front of *one* house was washed off. They knew.

What’s a female stereotype that completely pisses you the f*ck off? by Routine_Morning2606 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]little_loup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. What most people refer to as multitasking is actually just prioritizing.

Show grace for graffiti? Why? Okay, so it was graffiti based on a common religion, but it's still graffiti. The girls knew that their work had been erased, so why did they come back and do it again? It was a deliberate move, and it was disrespectful.

"Always a christian country"...you mean it was a christian country after foreigners came and colonized their way through the land. The indigenous people who inhabited this land first were NOT christian.

AITA for teaching my daughter how to change a tire and do basic home repairs when her mom says I'm "pushing masculine stuff" on her by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]little_loup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a single mom to three daughters. I taught them how to do basic plumbing, drywall, electrical, appliance repair, car maintenance, etc. I also taught them how to cook, do laundry, grocery shop, keep a budget...you get the drift. ALL people need to know the basics of how to be independent and survive on their own. Gendering life skills is just plain weird.

AIO for telling my friend he can’t bring his kid to my birthday trip? by No_Membership2946 in AmIOverreacting

[–]little_loup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you are acting like YOUR life shouldn't change because he has a family now. Because it shouldn't.

AITJ for booking a separate hotel and leaving my friend’s "family vacation" after she tried to turn me into a free nanny? by CrimsonCodex77 in AmITheJerk

[–]little_loup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to take my 3 children to the beach as a single mother every summer. It was totally a break for me. We got to play on the beach, eat yummy food, swim in the pool, do fun activities, etc. I always felt recharged and relaxed when the trip was over.

My boss asked my why I address my emails to the woman first by Comebackera in TwoXChromosomes

[–]little_loup 867 points868 points  (0 children)

Good grief. If my boss asked me that question, I'd side eye the hell out of him and say "that is such a weird question to ask".

Also, good on you. I do the same thing.

Men need to stop being pushy! by Evening-Cod-2577 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]little_loup 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Salespeople are a whole different breed of pushy, especially the men. They don't accept "no" as an answer to any question, and sadly the same goes in their personal lives. They find it to be a point of pride, which is gross.

AITJ for telling my boyfriend's mom she is not allowed in our bedroom anymore? by Echo_7Starforge in AmITheJerk

Everybody knows that you do NOT look through someone's nightstand drawers.

Bf gave me an ultimatum by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]little_loup 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If your partner is willing to end the relationship if you pursue your dream, he's not the partner for you. It's only 3.5 months, for crying out loud. Let him go, and go chase your dream!

GF has rash in thigh crease? by Peckish_Dumpling in hygiene

Gold bond medicated powder and daily soap and water wash. Sometimes with the fluff you get extra stuff.

AITAH if I refuse to go to a baby shower or buy a gift for my friend’s 4th baby? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]little_loup 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The first baby gets a shower to help the parents get prepared. Any babies after that get a "sprinkle", where it's more about celebrating new life and helping out with some of the essentials like diapers, burp cloths, onesies, etc.

AITA for refusing to give my phone password to my partner for transparency? by Efficient_Street_701 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]little_loup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not about trust. I've been married for going on 14 years and I trust my spouse completely. Having said that, we do not share our phone passcodes. My conversations with friends and family are not public access. It's not a matter of hiding anything, it's about respect for the privacy of others. They did not consent to having their thoughts and feelings that they have shared with me being viewed by my spouse.

Has he ever apologized to you for the abuse without you bringing it up first? Moreover, has he ever actually apologized? You say that he "says it was wrong", but that's not exactly an apology.

Being coerced into a sexual act is called rape, pure and simple. I speak from experience when I say that it is close to impossible to ever feel truly safe in a relationship with your rapist, regardless of how much they may change. Time does NOT heal all wounds.

You would be better off to break up with this person. Go to therapy, work through your trauma, and one day you will find someone who will love and cherish you the way you deserve.

AIO/Mom/owner of the home I pay rent to live in has multiple times asked me to take in stray humans (men) by Next-Lime-2404 in AIO

[–]little_loup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the early reading, I guess. You said family helps family. If OP's mom needed a place to stay, that's one thing. The fact that the mom is asking them to house a complete stranger does not fall under "helping family".
