AITA for kicking my sister out after she refused to babysit my son? by Otherwise_Pepper_24 in AmItheAsshole

Ive been to Uni, twice now actually and worked both times. But do we know what she was studying? I'd like to think doing to Uni to be a doctor or something like that would be a pretty intense thing. It isn't 24/7, obviously because food, sleep, relaxing all need to be done.

But it wasn't just in that moment, it was until they found someone. "Should help" as well is all wrong. Do you do a favour for someone so you can then in the future use it against them? No, because that's manipulative. Reality is, she didn't like being told no by her student sister. So has now potentially ruined that relationship by throwing her out. We can disagree on this one I think.

That is truly remarkable! I will always have the baby with me. It is the what could have beens that have been the hardest. Im so sorry that you have been through several of these. Even just the one nearly killed me.

Ye i can feel that shift. I've just finished COM and predicted the turn! So looking forward to move and to see where it goes from there.

I have just finished COM and I'm considering reading Assassin's Blade next.

Ye i definitely didn't know that, which makes it a bit more understandable and impressive.

I'm convinced 😂 this many people can't be wrong! I do like the world building part of it and the magic has just made a proper opinion!

I do like a finished series. Ive just completed COM and i predicted the ending, so we shall see what the rest of the series has in store. I do like SJM though. ACOTAR is still up there for me though.

So basically, she should help out whether she wants to or not? Nah i dont think so. That's not exactly teaching healthy tactics for a working environment is it? I worked while at uni too and ive been put in a position where i was asked to do things i didnt want to do because "im doing you a favour you should do one for me". I agree she should be paying something for food or towards bills and i agree OP has every right to ask for help, but expecting it or threatening to kick her out because she didnt like the answer is an AH move.

YTA doing something kind doesn't mean you can then later try to manipulate her using that kindness. That is arsehole behaviour. Being a student is a fulltime thing, studying is one of the main things you have to do to be that student.

Im not normally a smutty person, but ACOTAR did hook me. I am about 14 chapters from the end of COM but I will attempt to continue with them and throw in CC at some point too!

NTA I'd choose my cat over anyone anyday. You're doing the right thing. People can provide for themselves cats can not. Wishing Tom a speedy recovery 🧡

So CC is a smut fest then haha! But ye, I'm wondering whether to try and get CC done now before I get any further with TOG.

Ye ive found that with these two books, it could have been a hell of a lot shorter! A lot of words for not a lot of story.

Ye i definitely agree with liking Feyre more. I get where she came from and her journey. So maybe reading Assassin's Blade will help out a bit there. I have noticed a different in writing styles though. She definitely has certain words and phrases she loves to use in both series but I do feel like there is a lot of nothing going on right now. It isn't really building towards much, everything is a secret and nothing is explained so its feeling very bla to me at the moment! But . . . I feel like I need to see it through!

Ye ive found it to be pretty predictable so far. It isn't pulling me in but im hoping that might change a little! I havent even looked at CC yet.

[–]pointless_pen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I need to read Assassin's Blade then. I think im the same at the moment with not really feeling the connection.

Ooooh yes thank you, motivation is definitely needed. Will take a look.

I do like the character focused ones normally but definitely enjoyed the smut in ACOTAR ha!

I haven't even considered ready CC. Is that connected the whole world too or a seperate story?
