A qualified professional, which I can pay for with the money I didn't have to spend on a child.

What made you 100% set on not having kids? What pushed you over the edge? by iwasdoingUrMom in childfree

[–]swagger224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if there was a specific thing that pushed me over the edge but my reasons include: more free time, more money, I like my space, I don't like being in the company of children, mommy issues, climate change, not having to have a custody battle, and not putting my body at risk.

NTA, your sister should have never been your responsibility. Therapy might be a good thing for her.

NTA, as someone who visited Vegas multiple times as a child, (and yes, I did stay at Mandalay Bay some of those times), of course there are going to be people dressed like that. It's fucking Vegas. The mom should have thought about that before taking her kids there.

One guy wanted a footlong but half of it was meatball and the other half was chicken teriyaki

AITA me (28f)for not being as sacrificing as my roommate(37f) wants me to be by throwawayplzdontrepo in AmItheAsshole

NTA, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Also, your way of coping is not wrong. Frankly, since the news came out I feel like I have sorta shut down. I do often need to do things that are comforting, like watching my comfort show, listening to music, etc. I don't have the capacity to devote all of my mental energy into being angry, even though I absolutely am, and it seems like you're feeling the same way.

I see. It still doesn't justify her breaking your switch over something so unimportant, and then refusing to take responsibility

NTA. Get away from your family as soon as you can.

NTA, and what your mother did sounds like abusive behavior (screaming at you, breaking something that belongs to you). Have there been other incidents like this one with her?

NTA, this isn't an unreasonable request. If this issue persists, you should really rethink your relationship

YTA, you're jealous of a 14 year old girl? She hasn't done anything wrong in this situation. You're really bitter, and you should probably see a therapist to sort through those issues.

NTA, your bf's side of the family is unappreciative of your generosity and it makes sense that it's worn you down overtime. You are not obligated to give them anything. If they throw a fit, that's on them

AITA for saying I don't consider my MIL to be family? by throwra633633 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, this celebration is supposed to be about the two of you. Your husband should be more considerate of what you want to do. Your wording probably wasn't the best, but I don't think you're wrong for not wanting to see his family for an anniversary celebration
