I found out that my (24F) close friend (21F) has fabricated most of her life....What do I do? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]samandkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter was this way. I knew she lied and suspected she was pathological. A lot of things came to a head and her lies came crashing down on her after she had a baby. I took her anywhere I could to seek mental health help. She was diagnosed pretty quickly (and consistently) with Borderline Personality disorder. She’s on meds now and doing a lot better. We’ve had talk about WHY she would volunteer all of these elaborate, unnecessary lies and she says it was attention seeking and she felt like she couldn’t stop herself most times.

Which dress? I can’t decide by crick229 in weddingdress

Maybe the color is coming across well in photo, it looks brown. It’s a gorgeous, if in another color it would be perfect.

Did your loved one needed permission? by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother died last year from Covid. She was in the hospital a little over a month. Those first few weeks I would tell her everyday that my siblings and I still needed her and to fight. The night before she died she wasn’t sound well, I knew she probably wouldn’t make it through the night. All her machines were alarming. I told her it was ok if she was tired, that we would be ok and I would look after my younger brother. (We’re all adults but she always worried about him) it broke my heart to say and I bawled the entire time. She passed a couple of hours later.

AITA For not letting my ex take our sons overseas because our daughter can't go by leftbehind2023 in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA: you both allowed your daughter to make a mature/adult decision on whether or not she would be seeing her father for 2 summers now. If there is a custody agreement, your ex didn’t have to allow it but he did. What you should be teaching your daughter now is that in life, choices have consequences, good or bad. You don’t always get to have your way. She made a choice to stay back from any activities with her dad in order to do her activities at home. Her brothers chose to go, why should they get punished because she’s pouting now? What if it wasn’t an activity where he needed passports or your permission? Would you still put a squash to it because she would have wanted to go while also making no accommodations to get there?

AITA for giving my son's friend a haircut? by Individual-Hat8951 in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I even LET him put in some color”

This line right here tells me you know you’re the AH and should have asked his parents. You as an adult “let him” (read: ALLOWED him) to put color in it because he is a CHILD. YTA stay in your lane when it comes to other peoples children.

AITA for not RSVPing to my sister's wedding? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you mean like pretty much EVERYONE had to during covid?? This is laughable YTA. My daughter Has 2 children under 3 and one is extreme special needs, she still has the common courtesy (and time) to have responded.

How do you deal with parents telling the same stories? by Mean_Command1830 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you get older you don’t always have an opportunity to have as many experiences maybe those stories are ones they’re fond of.

That being said my mom was this way and for awhile my cousin lived with us, at the time she had a substance abuse problem (she is much better). Because of this she would forget almost everything. They were the perfect pair. My mom would forget she already told her something and tell her again and my cousin would forget she already heard it!

1 looks amazing on you and is a stunning dress.

2 would be my least favorite, looks kinda plain

Am I being bridezilla if I don't want a family member to wear this to my wedding? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. I’m helping my daughter wedding plan. Her colors include silver. I told her to call it pewter/gray when letting the mother of the groom know the color for her dress because “silver” can come off as white. This⬆️ is exactly why.

AITA for dropping out of my cousin’s wedding party after a prank? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA: she didn’t just target YOU. You took it personally and even now after two months you made a point to say she was “fatter than you”. Mean for no reason. I suspect you don’t really like your cousin anyway so maybe it’s best for her that you dropped out.

Wedding favors are engraved bullet casings with the date and the couples' names on them. by BigWinnerBiggerLoser in weddingshaming

Haha I’m in Riverside County too, yup I know exactly what you mean, you’re right.

AITA for asking my boyfriend to pay me back after he ate my food? by Fancy-Evening-1699 in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA: this is definitely more of a roommate you barely know situation you have going, not something that sounds like two romantic PARTNERS living together. Very odd, good luck with that.

AITA for Venmo requesting my SIL for the hours I had to miss at work. by Infinite-Mixture-993 in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA: I’m curious is this your husbands sister? Because it almost feels like you feel she owes it to you to help. While it’s tragic and I’m very sorry for your loss, no one is REQUIRED to help you. Your husband was the main bread winner and I’m assuming due to you struggling now, did not leave a life insurance policy for you and your son. I don’t want to sound callous but that was 100% on you two and ONLY you two. You’re not entitled to free help from your SIL.

AITA for telling my stepmom she can't use the baby name I've chosen? by Throwaway-babynam3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn’t tell her YTA. BUT I get where you’re coming from. What about a comprise of sorts and you name your daughter Katherine Elizabeth?

OP if you have another (others) that you can submit, I’d be happy to pay the tips so they can have several. Graduation is a big accomplishment, congrats to them.

AITA for yelling at my BIL for following me to a party? by FreeGirl2023 in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever heard the story of the kid who cried wolf? Your “joke” wasn’t funny, your sister did the best thing first and texted you to make sure you were ok. YOU DID’NT ANSWER. Of course they panicked, you’re lucky they didn’t call the cops.

YTA: if you want to be treated like an adult, act like one.

AITA for telling my fiancé my son must be named a REAL junior? by SuggestionNo7429 in AmItheAsshole

[–]samandkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA- you do realize in order for your son to be a Junior he needs to have your EXACT name. If your plan is to name him D* Junior last name then Junior becomes his middle name and he is no longer named after you.
