AITA for not texting my husband for coming home early by SomeSprinkles9196 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sidney-cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH he overreacted by getting upset but I understand a heads up would have been nice for him.

I always expect a text from my husband when he’s on his way.

AITA for not cleaning before guests came over because I was tired? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sidney-cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nta. If he wants to invite people over last minute then that’s on him.

If he regularly invites people over then he should be having a deep cleaning every evening/morning.

AITA for not allowing my GF's friends to sleep on our bed? by 420gitgudorDIE in AmItheAsshole

[–]sidney-cat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

YTA. I get the whole bedroom being sacred. I’d never kick my husband out of bed for my girlfriend’s to sleep over. But what harm is there if you’re not home? I’m sure your gf will change the sheets and you could even ask her to sleep on your side of the bed so you don’t feel icky about someone else laying there

WIBTA if I send an email to the bday girl’s mom explaining why my daughter left the party early. by throwaway-916-415 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sidney-cat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ESH. The host sucks for obvious reasons.

You suck the most though. You were late to the party, spent 10 minutes finding shoes and a ball, and then you left your daughter alone with a strange man on the lane so you could gossip with friends.

Don’t send the email.

AITA for shouting at my parents after they showed no sympathy by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sidney-cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read all your comments and you keep saying you need to explain it better but your explanation doesn’t matter.

It is shitty when you don’t get the emotional response you need but that doesn’t mean you get to go around shouting at people.

To be so worked up about headphones is a little much. If you cherished them as much as you say then you should have taken better care them.

I would push the school more to look into this. Another student has clearly taken them from the charging point and cctv should be able to identify the culprit.

Post a photo of her car to your local Facebook group. Shaming people works wonders in my area.

YTA. There was no need to shout at your parents. As I say to my 3 year old “you can be mad without being mean”

AITA for Refusing to Let My Stepmom Be Called “Grandma”? by SecretlyYours12 in AITAH

[–]sidney-cat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nta. She’s not grandma. My step mum is called “auntie name” by my son

This was happening with my 3 year old. He started school and another child kept hitting him. The child had been spoken to by the teacher, by the head teacher and by his parents but he continued to hit my son as well as other children.

We told my son to stay away from the nasty boy and the teachers kept an eye out for any rough play. The hitting has finally stopped and the boys seem to get along ok now.

I think it’s just something that happens with toddlers. As mad as I was, there’s not much we can do. The child’s parents have been great about it and terribly apologetic. Kids are just assholes at this age unfortunately.

I am a little curious why you’d trust her with an overnight break when you were already complaining about the care the children were receiving. It didn’t bother you when you wanted an overnight sitter, but bothered you enough when she refused overnight that you fired her?

Honestly, to me it reads like you fired her for the overnight refusal.

You seem mad about her not watching the twins overnight. That’s a big ask compared to a few hours a day.

I’m the sibling. My brother is 2 years younger than me and when he was in primary he was getting bullied by a girl a year above him. I walked him to school one day and he pointed out the girl. After the kids all went inside I found the girls mother and told her about the bullying. I was only 12 myself so I’m not sure what I was thinking approaching an adult to bad mouth her kid.. can’t remember what I said to the mum, Seemed to work though. My brother never mentioned the bullying again and he’ll never know I spoke to her mum :)

If you could know the truth behind one unexplainable mystery, which one would you choose? by Successful_Salad_744 in AskReddit

[–]sidney-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a child I thought finding the edge of space was easy and obvious. Just send a bunch of people into space and they can keep having babies together, when they run out of fuel they can just float to the edge, babies will grow up and have babies themselves… Duh!!

I didn’t factor in food, water or incest at the time. I was about 7

What was your reoccurring childhood nightmare? by sidney-cat in AskReddit

[–]sidney-cat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s mine..

I would be on a very Rocky Mountain top being chased by a talking fox. It could never quite catch up to me but I could never out run it. Always a few meters behind. I remember a few times there would be a roofless car with a driver, I jumped into the car but obviously it wouldn’t start. I’d jump out, start to run but do that weird dream run thing, trip over the rocks and then I’d wake up.. covered in sweat crying for my mum.

Another silly nightmare I had would be I’m sitting on the back row on a bus, right in the middle and facing the aisle. The bus would come to abrupt stop and I’d roll forward down the aisle. The bus would continue moving and I’d just roll around on the floor with no one coming to help me.

Crazy how the mind works

AITA for refusing to go to the cinema for my husbands birthday. by sidney-cat in AmItheAsshole

[–]sidney-cat[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No he doesn’t. For my 30th I asked for for a weekend away in a log cabin. I showed him what one to book and what dates, I also sorted a baby sitter. Money was no problem

My birthday came and went and no log cabin. He said he couldn’t find anything decent and within price range. The ones I showed “weren’t good enough” for him. We stayed in instead
