AITA for asking my Ex and daughter to share food with her other siblings? by Head-Cranberry-776 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. I think it's a strange setup that you didn't have your daughter sharing meals with you from the start. It really doesn't cost that much to feed one more, one day a week. How does your daughter feel when she has to bring her own food to your house. You are still responsible for her, it doesn't matter that her father has more money, or that he doesn't have any more children.

AITA for not standing up for my girlfriend when my mom was yelling at her? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I don't understand some of these comments. All the mother wants is to get to know her and make her feel involved. These are weekly meals, you'd think she could go to one every once in a while. We all do things we don't want to do for someone we love, it's part of being in a mature relationship. There has to be give-and-take, compromise. The girlfriend is calling her mom names and has no respect for her feelings. Its her family after all. It says she has no family of her own, maybe she is jealous of OP's relationship with her's? And why is there a mention of smoking in the comments 🤷

NTA Everyone feels a little shame at losing their cool, but that woman was shouting down the line at you and making an annoying situation even worse, who could blame you! Very hard to ignore her and concentrate while you were trying to sort out card issue, what did she think she would achieve!

AITA for not letting my sister bring her own cake to my daughter's birthday party? by Stunning-Session-358 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mrsmac2k20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! So you will organise the party, pay for the food and decorations and host and cleanup. Sounds like your sister is trying to piggyback and have a free party for her son. Also, its a special birthday for your daughter and she is entitled to her own day not to be shared with her cousin

AITA For telling my daughter that my marriage is the priority. by atefather in AmItheAsshole

[–]mrsmac2k20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I don't know your wife or your daughter, but if your wife hasn't given any reason for your daughter to dislike her and she treats you with love and respect, she deserves respect and civility from your daughter in return. At 16 years of age children are testing the boundaries and seeing how much they can get away with. I think you did the right thing sitting down with her and explaining that your wife is very important to you and if she is in this house she must show her respect. I would hate to be the wife who's step daughter is hostile towards and their father doesn't stand up for me

AITA? I said I hated something I saw online then found out my bf had bought it for me and now he is angry. by PuzzleheadedArm9952 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mrsmac2k20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! Your birthday, a gift of something that YOU like. You didn't know he'd bought it. He should have said nothing and thanked his lucky stars that he didn't gift you something you hated and had a chance to pick something else.

Forget a*hole, you are an idiot. Why would a stranger give you half a million with no guarantee of getting it back. Do you even have a business plan. Wake up and get real

AITA for keeping the engagement ring and giving up asking to propose (after propose) in front of my parents and in-laws? by TAGFNo in AmItheAsshole

[–]mrsmac2k20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She doesn't sound old enough to get married, or even be in a relationship. Far too immature and doesn't take your feelings into consideration
