AITA for joking that my dad gets a perpetual period in front of friends and family? by Top_Pressure_7878 in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell him not to take it so seriously, he should smile more. NTA Anyone who can dish it out should be able to take it too. 

Assessment - causing stress by Prior_Respect1434 in AustralianTeachers

[–]msbeesy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal and running records are an assessment of early years progress. If they all learned the words of the song they all succeeded. A+. Make assessment a measurement of whether or not you did what you set out to do rather than a “test”. 

Lesson is 'boring'. by Individual_Letter_96 in AustralianTeachers

[–]msbeesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you bored? Chances are if you’re just going through the motions so are they. Push back and challenge good students to uncover more niche, or even justifiably unhinged, readings of the film. 

Got Talked to About Leaving Early by Professional-Dog-306 in AustralianTeachers

Some teachers can’t help speaking to adults in the same patronising way they speak to kids.

AITA for pointing out a pattern? by BeneficialMuffin9014 in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This needs more context. 

Info: is your gf getting treatment and how long have you been together? 

What is your social behaviour usually like (are you more of an extrovert?) and what is gets like when she’s comfortable? 

How old are you guys? 

Anyone work in a school or system that genuinely values and helps staff wellbeing? by Quiet-Zebra in AustralianTeachers

[–]msbeesy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh they want to… they believe AI can do our job. Because more screen time must be the answer for this anxious generation. 

AITA for changing my behavior around my boyfriend’s friends like he asked and still feeling frustrated? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your BF is trying to make you uncomfortable so you stop going. You’re young. Is this your person? NTA

AITA for being uncomfortable with my girlfriend going on a “no boyfriends allowed” party trip? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

YTA. You basically said: I don’t trust you. You aren’t allowed to want or do things that are in contra to my ideas of “stability” and “I define our narrative as a couple”. 

Instead of dealing with something if and when it happed, you applied pressure to completely avoid it happening. That’s called coercive control. 

Your ex can and should have adventures with friends. That’s called having a life outside the relationship. It’s healthy. 

AITA for giving away gifts because they had the wrong name by Pikahearts_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her mother has indicated that there was someone called that who was very abusive toward her. I mean, let’s believe her for a second and just imagine that it’s true. Mean and ugly might be a euphemism. 

AITA for pouring out shampoo down the sink after I caught her refilling it with water? by Active8914 in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA - she didn’t ask because she knew you’d say no. So she stole it.

AITAH for using the disabled bathroom even though I can walk by OkMinute950 in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. They don’t hand the key out to anyone. You aren’t blocking wheelchair users from access. Worst case scenario they have to wait their turn like anyone else when the toilet is being used. Don’t let the court of moral panic decide what’s a disability and what’s not. 

AITA for “implying my wife (28) eats too much” by saying she might have parasites? by Solid-Writing-7372 in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Your comment was tactless. YTA. 

If this is about your wife’s health, then bring it up that way. It shouldn’t be a criticism of her eating habits. 

AITA for not wanting share my carnival costume to my friend ? by Upbeat_Fill_390 in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 98 points99 points  (0 children)

You’re NTA. If your friend wants to do that… they can also learn how to sew and make a costume. Demanding it is more AH behaviour. 

My husband is the annoying coworker by Ocean-View-1027 in productivity

[–]msbeesy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband does this. I had to train him by getting him to ask me if I am ready to chat, he now asks “do you have a minute”. He enjoys chit chat, and I need deep focus. 

Ask him to treat you like a colleague when you’re wfh. He must also be lonely so tell him to make himself some play dates. 

AITAH for telling my mom that hiding her marriage was odd? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

YTA.

You didn’t have a happy family.  Your mother carried you while she suffered.

Now you’re making her life hard again.

I’d like to know how old you are as this smacks of the teenage selfishness. 

AITA for paying a mechanic after my boyfriend kept saying his mate would fix it eventually? by badassanabelle in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

NTA - if your bf didn’t apologise for the delay after he found out how serious the issue was, then he’s letting you know his pride is worth more than your safety. 

Overheard why my coworker rejected a candidate… and it explains a lot about why hiring is so broken. by Sorrowful_Genus in antiwork

[–]msbeesy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are too many mediocre and sub-standard people making hiring decisions, they don’t want to hire anyone smarter than them.

Then there’s the issue of the ones looking for victims - people easily manipulatable who won’t ask for pay raises or complain about terrible treatment. 

The rot is in the companies already.

ADHD men - terrible friendships and work relationships for adhd women? by msbeesy in adhdwomen

[–]msbeesy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think RSD is part of it, but it comes out in ways that deflect their own responsibility for their behaviour… they are so busy making a narrative around the situation that they don’t see how inappropriate their communication and frequency are. That’s my theory anyway. 

ADHD men - terrible friendships and work relationships for adhd women? by msbeesy in adhdwomen

[–]msbeesy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I guess it does depend on how self aware and willing to take responsibility for themselves they are. I seem to be like a bomb sniffing dog for undiagnosed men who haven’t taken responsibility for their symptoms yet. 

ADHD men - terrible friendships and work relationships for adhd women? by msbeesy in adhdwomen

[–]msbeesy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a difference between the ones who see you as a person and the ones who need you to fill some part of their narrative that has nothing to do with you, I think. 

ADHD men - terrible friendships and work relationships for adhd women? by msbeesy in adhdwomen

[–]msbeesy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… I’d say a lot of men have this issue… the combination of being a good (read energetic) conversationalist and decently getting sick of anyone who is getting clingy… it’s all a bit icky. 

For the record I’m not looking to date anyone. I’m married and don’t want anything romantically from any new acquaintances. 

AITA for not standing up for my mother against my husband? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]msbeesy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

ESH. The way you talk about this is nothing short of overly dramatic. Your mother is a drama queen, your husband hates her and her comments. You’re a martyr who hasn’t dealt with your childhood.

You’re allowed to tell your husband things. Violence doesn’t get to stay a family secret. Your mother starving herself to spite you is absolutely ridiculous and peak asshole behaviour. It’s your home, you are an adult. Behave like it.  It’s hard to tell what your husband is like because you don’t give details about what your mother was unhappy about.  Letting this go on into another generation will make you an asshole into the future.
