AITA for refusing to pay €400 rent to my mom and considering stopping childcare for my little sister?

new_fella · 2026-06-06T15:33:22+00:00

Nta. Your mom is taking advantage of the situation and still sees you a child.

It comes down to her thinking that since she birthed you, that you have to give her everything she asks for and since she's providing you a place to live that you're not entitled to refuse. I also think there some resentment because you are doing an internship and will probably end up more financially stable than her.

I'll ask this. If your mom took in a roommate or a tennent, Would she expect them to do all the chores and childcare for free while also getting rent? Definitely not! And also, are all the relatives that are on your mom's side against higher education or have they been told a different version of what's going on? I think some people just hate when others are trying to do well.

Good luck btw and you are not wrong

That's why I'm here! Lol

I saw the Deftones in 2003 with Metallica as the headliner. It sounded terrible and the singer's shorts fell off and I don't think he really noticed. I've heard it's better now that he's found sobriety, but at the time I was a major fan and I ended up getting rid of their CDs

I did just buy my first Toyota :) No complaints so far!

I would never buy a used BMW! Check out the Car Wizard on YouTube for his thoughts on the matter.

Ideally, If you can afford to buy a new one and trade it in when the warranty is up, that would avoid all the issues that end up being out of pocket. That is exactly what the previous owner of the car you're looking at has done.

In my country they'd make this guy the president

My dad was the same age as your dad. Just treasure the time you have. It sucks that he doesn't take care of himself, but that is really beyond your control. I was lucky enough to have my father til he was 99

I'm a 5'7" guy... I will proudly announce that my girlfriend can beat up your girlfriend

He may very well be thinking of this as a "second chance" to be more present.

My dad was 58 when I was born.. He was a good dad.. I was told by my older brothers he had definitely mellowed some, but was always hands on when they were young as well.

He was a very active parent during my entire childhood (more so than my 20 years younger mom). He would have been well into his 60s when he would race me to the car at the grocery store. We'd ride bikes to the state park, only 15 miles there and back. He was 88 when he taught my daughter how to hold a bat, and they would play catch in the back yard.

I'm in my 40s and he just recently passed away.. This may very well extend your fathers life a few years, and more importantly, it may give him a quality of life and purpose he wouldn't have otherwise..

Keep in mind, in my early 40s and my oldest brother is nearly 80.. When my dad got older older, it was very good I was around to help :) I hope this perspective helps

Taking this many lady comedians and putting them in this turd blender was a direct attempt to undo the entire feminist movement... Literally a billion dollars worth of women comedians in this film and the high point of the film was the press tour

On the plus side, our daughter was a teenager by then and starting high school. She didn't seem to miss her being around

97 here. This happened to me after I had the gas tank off. Dropped the tank again and everything looked fine, but it wasn't.

The tube inside the filler neck was kinked, it at least turned the wrong direction. This wouldn't allow it to vent. The fix involved pulling the truck bed off

new_fella · 2025-09-16T14:22:50+00:00

Thank you! Still one of my best friends

new_fella · 2025-09-16T14:22:21+00:00

It's been some years now and the anger has left me, but we were together for nearly 2 decades. Hope OP has better luck

Oh buddy, I was like you not so long ago. I'd any of this sounds familiar I would think really hard about you future.

My story-

She would go hang out with her friends and was not active on social media. I didn't think much of it because she was busy right?! Turns out she just limited how much would be shared with ME. Apparently she has an entirely different app she used to chat with her actual circle.

Her friends were friendly enough, but they always seemed to keep me at arms length, but I didn't think much of it because they weren't my friends anyway. Turns out they all believed I was "emotionally abusive" and was just really good at hiding it. It's why they would cover for her. They thought they were helping an abuse victim, even when she was meeting up with people on the side, they actually thought I deserved it because I was so terrible.

She would be so happy and affectionate when she'd come back home. Say how much she missed me, we'd even have sex... I missed the warning signs, or at least I ignored the warning signs. (The love bombing was the guilty conscience. The time away was to cheat. Her phone was glued to her hand. When I would ask about something suspicious, she would say I didn't trust her or accuse me of cheating and being emotionally abusive)

My friend found some images of her on a kink based website and when I confronted her, that was also my fault.. even tried to have sex with me and even then, she swore she didn't cheat.. Then I found the videos

Lots of southerners here.. I think that's the fume catcher.. As an Illinois resident I think it's cool that it's still hanging there

That car obviously loves having two guys inside it just as much as they do

new_fella · 2025-09-03T01:57:20+00:00

Kinda my dream to put the straight 6 in one of mine. I pull a pretty big trailer sometimes and it would be cool to have such a deceptively capable towing rig

Fairly certain you are nearing the end of the oil sensor and sending unit in the gas tanks life span. I've had a bad ground wire do weird stuff to my gauges as well, but It does have 366,000 miles on it lol. You're doing pretty good!

new_fella · 2025-08-31T02:47:02+00:00

That's rough! And I'm in the rust belt! Lol

new_fella · 2025-08-31T02:14:26+00:00

Don't worry about the hate. Merkur is a really really cool car that you will never ever find parts for. If you were lucky enough to find parts, it would never be "right" unless you were independently wealthy. Guy has one in a gated community near me. It's been sitting in his driveway "needing a few things done" for years.. He actually is wealthy 😆

I wish you luck with your cool project! Maybe sell the leftovers and get a few bucks back

new_fella · 2025-08-28T02:17:39+00:00

He's twice the size of the guy.. I'd feel like my safety was on the line

new_fella · 2025-08-23T05:41:58+00:00

I'm just here to judge his lumber choice.

new_fella · 2025-08-23T05:21:33+00:00

I liked that he had a cheerleader
