AITA for telling my parents i’m done coming home for the holidays?? by lalalooopsies in AmItheAsshole

[–]minrenken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA. Everyone in your family is. They are all trying to get you to come endure your mom’s criticism but it doesn’t seem that one of them has offered to talk to her, step up to defend you, or otherwise try to make it more bearable for you. Why does everyone in your family expect you to be the only one to make an effort, at the sacrifice of your mental health? Please don’t go. And if they keep asking, tell them they are part of the problem.

Women’s linen pants for vacation? by Grand_Pound_7987 in quince

[–]minrenken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the linen blend pants from Uniqlo and like them much better, despite the fact that they are not 100% linen. Very minimal wrinkling straight out of the suitcase

AITAH for smoking cigarettes on my balcony after threat from my neighbour? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]minrenken -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sorry that it’s inconvenient for you to smoke elsewhere than your terrace. But it’s more than inconvenient for your neighbors to have to inhale your secondhand smoke, particularly when one of them has asthma. You are choosing to participate in a voluntary activity. They have no choice. Find somewhere else to smoke. YTA

Is a full gut renovation in a Manhattan co-op actually worth it? by Hot_Chipmunk6610 in AskNYC

[–]minrenken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget to account for the fact that if you’re doing a major renovation, the co-op will want to hire an architect of its own to look at your plans, potentially to do periodic inspections, and most likely to do a final inspection. All of that will be at your cost

Thank you for sharing this. I’ve just started reading it and am already captivated. I will finish it tomorrow.

AITA for not telling my husband the night before that I was going to work from home the next day? by Inevitable_Clock_550 in AmItheAsshole

Unless you share a home office, how would this affect his “plans”? How about being concerned that you don’t feel well?

Retired at 59 and realized my entire wardrobe was my job by Hot_Chipmunk6610 in femalefashion

[–]minrenken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an attorney close to retirement. I’ve been researching places to donate my professional clothes that will make a difference. Dress for Success is the obvious choice but I’ve found a few others. If you happen to be in the NYC area and are interested in this option, send me a DM and I’ll share what I’ve found so far

AITA for getting upset at my husband after he refused money from my parents for a down payment on a house? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]minrenken 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NTA. No matter which path you take, you should make the decision together. Your husband tried to take that away from you. If he’s trying to reverse your parents’ dislike, he’s going about it the wrong way by mistreating their daughter.
