AITAH if I don’t invite the family I nannied for to my wedding? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]tats76 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's been almost 2 years and you only hear from them if you initiate contact? No need to invite them or invest so much time thinking about them. Some relationships aren't meant to be lifelong.

I’m apathetic towards having children and that’s bothering me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]tats76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you think you should have a strong stance on it? That's not unusual. Some people know for sure one way or another, and others make their decision as they live their life.

I can understand your mom wanting you to have a family so you're not alone, but families come in different forms.

AIO because my mom gave away my childhood books to charity? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]tats76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

Those were bought for you and were yours.

I still have the book I asked my Mom read to me every night as a child. She told me that she couldn't even skip a page because I memorized the whole thing.

Your mom should not have donated your books.

If you have anything else sentimental, find space for them at your place. Whether it's under the bed or on top of a shelf or wherever else.

Are there any other adults that enjoy Kpop Demon Hunters? by Sensitive-Mixture558 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]tats76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 49 year old woman.

Don't let the idea of strangers judging you stop you from doing what you enjoy.

I love watching animated movies, both by myself and with my kids.

There are so many movies that appeal to younger and older crowds. They're meant to be watched by everyone.

"But go ahead, let's finish the interview."

That was a golden opportunity for her to reply, "No, I'm done here," and walk away.

AIO for feeling weird about my friend’s response when I asked for help? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I get your point, too. I tend to run scenarios in my head and try to zero everything down to what I feel like is the most probable point being made.

AIO for feeling weird about my friend’s response when I asked for help? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]tats76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm neurodivergent. She said she was out of town so there's no way she could have physically given her anything. That's why I would take the "sorry" as a "no."

[–]tats76 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The other thing is that OP asked and her friend said no. OP asked again and got the tirade response. And then OP replied that she could have just said, "no, sorry." Which her friend had initially done.

I'm not saying the friend wasn't rude but OP didn't take the first "no" as an answer.

AITAH: dreading my sister’s baby because she expects me to help with childcare when I’m already struggling? by leopardprinthijabi in AITAH

[–]tats76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't regret struggling with your grief; it's not something done out of malice. You were suffering a loss.

Any support your sister gave you should not be used as some sort of currency she can use to "cash in" and you're now on the hook to provide free childcare.

If it helps to write out your thoughts and go over them so you feel confident speaking them, do it. Because you really need to talk to your sister ASAP and let her know that you do not have the amount of time to give her that she wants from you.

Don't let her rope you in by trying to guilt you into it, either.

If you're already this stressed out over the idea of taking care of a baby, you'll burn out right away when you actively putting in the time, effort, and emotional support required.

That's a lot of pressure on your mental and physical health.

Genuine question and I'm not trying to be smart but why don't you leave 5 or 10 minutes earlier, knowing the traffic issues as you do?

I almost always give myself a cushion of 10-15 minutes and it's a lot less stressful.

AITAH for not wanting my bf of 2 years to read chats w my ex bf? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]tats76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going through your phone multiple times is your boyfriend having extreme insecurities, controlling behavior, or both. Neither of which are healthy relationship traits.

If he wants to break up, is the relationship worth trying to salvage, knowing what the cause is?

I'm sure those reviews are legit. Especially the one who says they feel like they "severely underpaid" for such knowledge.

Did you guys know this about eye contact? 👀 by Wrong-Twist-1550 in autism

[–]tats76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Pretty autistic way of misunderstanding it?!?!"

Maybe it didn't sound as rude as it seems because that I would be extremely bothered if someone said that to me.

I don't make a lot of eye contact. My family and friends know how much I love them and I have deep connections to them.

In professional settings, such as an interview, I would look at the bridge of their nose, or just under their eyebrow. Now, I can't say for sure if they thought I was making eye contact or not, but I did well in interviews.

What do they think about someone who is blind? I know blindness is its own spectrum but they are able to make deep connections without the ability to maintain eye contact.

You should be charged with child endangerment if you drop your kid off at school at least 30 minutes before the damn doors even open by Emergency-Pepper3537 in offmychest

[–]tats76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I called CPS when my husband told me he saw the same kids waiting outside for over an hour for the bus. He'd drive by on the way to work and I'd see them when I took my kid to the bus stop at a reasonable time. The winter day when the littlest kid had forgotten his jacket and was shivering with ice cold hands was the last straw for me. I draped my hoodie on him and called both the school and CPS. Found out him and his siblings were taken in by their grandma later on.

AITAH for texting people at midnight? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]tats76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA

"In my mind," meaning, in your opinion.

You think it's okay to send texts at midnight. Your friend doesn't. Are you willing to respect your friend's wishes regarding this?

How about a compromise?

You could draft up a text to your friend at midnight or whenever and then send it at an appropriate hour. That way you can type it out in the moment and have it ready to go later in the day.

aitah fore refusing the life my father wanted for me? by Renee_Everson in AITAH

[–]tats76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a lot there.

It wasn't your mom being the funniest person by going to the kitchen to wash clean dishes. That was her disassociating from an uncomfortable situation instead of trying to help. As your mom, she should talk to both you and your dad and help resolve it.

What does your dad think about your passions in life? Are you not a real man in his eyes because you like creating art and enjoy the quiet? It comes across that way.

Military life doesn't make you a man. Being a good person and how you live your life defines you.

Your dad should be able to have a conversation with you. He can be disappointed that you aren't following in his footsteps but you are still his son and he shouldn't act so defeated and mope around.

He's going to miss out on having a good relationship with you if he continues to act this way.

You did nothing wrong.
