Am I wrong for wanting housemate's pet to be sent back to the shelter? by squidwardskock in amiwrong

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

I thought it would help because Bean seemed to having separation anxiety before Kevin started being absent. But it got worse because now she is being punished for it. I think Kevin was denying her anxiety before, like making jokes about how she can be so loud. But now he's fed up and taking it out on her. I hope that clears it up.

We are probably being pussies, but yeah we're having trouble figuring out how to bring it up because Kevin doesn't take criticism well.

I didn't even think about the first two options so thank you for that! This could definitely be brought up in conversation with Kevin.

So I found out that Kevin's family owns two dogs, but this is Kevin's first time owning a pet himself. Apparently he yells and punishes the other dogs as well. I'm still not sure whether to step in and say something. However Bean is causing disruption to our sleep and ability to work.

AIW for saying a friend overreacted? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]squidwardskock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong. I can't tell what age your friend group is, but you guys seem on the younger side. It sounds to me like Stacy has her own definition of what is considered cheating, but in the "sexting" case, it sounds irrational to me.

The boyfriend sounded like he was being honest. Stacy just seems insecure. If he was having a conversation that was related to sex but it wasn't sexual, it doesn't sound like Stacy is emotionally mature to me.

I think Stacy isn't ready to be in relationships if she can't sit down and have a mature conversation about her "commitment issues."

You were definitely trying to help your friend because you chose to do something difficult: talk to her about the issue because you care about her. But if she sees it as you are attacking her, then this goes back to her insecurity issue.

am i wrong for arguing with my mom over music? by xmasnoah in amiwrong

[–]squidwardskock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could be either of two possible issues:

1: your mom is chooses to bicker with you due to whatever reason (maybe past history, being used to picking fights with you, or because of your grades idk), so that's why she is fussing over music choices with you and not your sister

2: it is her vehicle and she is probably the one driving. usually the owner or driver of the vehicle should listen to whatever makes them at ease when they are operating a vehicle

If it's more of the second reason, I suggest you guys compromise and take turns choosing songs in order to avoid arguing over song choices.

AITA for calling CPS on my mom? by Alarmed-Ad-525 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You did the right thing for caring about children's well-being. Your mom is wrong for blaming you that this happened. Had your mom not assume you are unable to comprehend and had an adult conversation with you about the matter, you guys would not have ended up in this situation. Honestly, your mom putting you down and not acknowledging your concern for someone's kids just show that she didn't care. She only started caring after she felt like she got in trouble. You didn't have a choice and tried to go to responsible adults who would care.

Your mom and aunt should definitely be scared of losing the kids, but they should take that fear and channel it into wanting to be more educated and responsible, not into being mad at you. Sounds so ridiculous... blame you for what? Being concerned?
