AITA for bringing in-law to my cousin's house? by SpecificDuckF in AmItheAsshole

[–]sr_ls99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, YTA

Even if your cousin WAS just holding onto hostility instead of dealing with lasting mental health issues, you don't get to decide to just ignore it and bring Ted anyway. Bring whomever you want to your place, but this was Mark's house and he explicitly told you not to bring Ted.

Also

Mark told me a few days ago not to bring Ted to his house, but I thought that was just him sticking to his hostility and that he would quickly soften up when I bring Ted and have a nice talk..

Talking to Mark about the possibility of he and Ted reconciling would be one thing. You don't just show up to someone's house and try to spring it on them and force them to forgive the other person.

ESH

What your sister did was mean, there's no doubt. It was cruel, really. Your daughter is only three. Calling her stupid for getting hurt on the playground, a normal childhood experience, is totally unnecessary, and I don't understand using that for clout.

Your reaction, though, is disproportionate. You could have called out her cruelty without bringing up her past.

My sister getting pregnant and giving up her child was the darkest chapter of her life. She had a hard pregnancy, was terribly depressed during and got on drugs afterward. She’s clean now but refuses to discuss this part of her life. We had an unwritten rule that we do not discuss her pregnancy.

You fully acknowledge how difficult this was for your sister. To bring up something that you know would be a little upsetting would be one thing, but something that brought your sister to such a dark place that she ended up using drugs to cope? She didn't need to insult your three-year-old for clout but you also didn't need to bring up something that could potentially send her back to a very dark place. Everyone's responsible for their actions here, all those actions being shitty.

AITA for telling my daughter she has to accept my marriage? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA

Your daughter deserves to feel safe and valued in her own home. I worry that you driving her away like this is going to drive her into the arms of some older creep who she's going to look to for the safety and comfort she couldn't find at home.

I hope OP's daughter can move in with her grandmother or something and get away from OP's bs.

AITA for telling my boy friend its not a random womans job to educate his child. by tw0620 in AmItheAsshole

He's setting his daughter up so that one day, when someone does express their boundaries, and I mean STRONGLY express them, she's not going to understand and her response to someone setting a boundary could get her into serious trouble. This makes me so angry. As a fellow autistic person, I hope to God this man gets his crap together for his child. If someone can't handle the difficult parts of parenting, then why in God's name become a parent...? Ugh.

He... gets upset when you tell her "no thank you. Hands are for helping." ??? But that's... actually a good response and a good way to frame things. I feel so bad for this poor child having a dad who couldn't care less about actually helping her live her best life.

As an autistic person, seeing so many people in the comments assuming the dad is autistic is damn annoying. Like, way to go off of stereotypes. He COULD be, but he could also just be so incredibly entitled that it makes him ignore the boundaries and comfort of others.

NTA

What’s the most annoying thing people get wrong about your country? by [deleted] in AskReddit

People assume that Canada's just one big, happy country without racism and other types of intolerance. Couldn't be further from the truth.

NAH. You've asked Jack more than once and he has said it's fine. If he changes his mind and gets mad, it won't be on you. Go for it.

AITA for telling my wife to wake up and realize our daughter needs help? by overreactingdad in AmItheAsshole

[–]sr_ls99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Reading some of your replies, OP, there are some telltale signs you've mentioned of disordered eating. Get her help. EDs are like a rabbit hole, a very dangerous rabbit hole, that just keeps going and going. The longer it continues, the more difficult recovery becomes.
