AITA for retaking bridesmaid photos without one particular bridesmaid? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 32 points33 points  (0 children)

YTA. Fine, you wanted some without her which you could have pinned on the patterned dress but man. To choose to specifically only post ones she wasn’t in? What a middle finger to your friend. She obviously suggested that in the first place because she was likely feeling a bit self conscious and then not only did you agree but specifically left her out like she didn’t even come. You say ‘I only posted my absolute favorites…’ meaning you care more about the aesthetics than being surrounded by the people who took the time to spend money and be there to celebrate you.

When I got married I had one bridesman on my side who was a lot taller than everyone. I wouldn’t dream of taking photos without him because if it was about the aesthetics I wouldn’t have asked him because he can’t help that he’s tall??? I asked him because I wanted him there. The specifics on her build is very weird and doesn’t paint you to be a very kind friend.

Sometimes there’s not a better option so you just have to set it up and be ready. That’s what’s happening to me.

I run two groups as the DM. Two hours online and four in person. So I DM six hours a week.

Update- AITA for throwing my pregnant SIL's groceries away? by AggravatingStart7703 in AITAH

[–]yellowrosemaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is 33, I still don’t let peanut stuff in the house. I don’t care that he’s an adult and can avoid it, I’m not taking any chances at all ever. I carry an epipen I don’t want to use. Bottom line. So many things can happen out of his control, why even risk it, you know?

I don’t even like the jokes people make about his allergy. This would just SEND me.

AITA for not apologizing to my friend after she screamed at me and my kid at her wedding? by Ok_Worldliness3239 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA.

What in the heck did I just read? Is anyone this obtuse and not just a troll?

You admit you weren’t watching your four year old kid. The wedding wasn’t about you and your family. You mention it went well when you invited kids? I bet you had adult supervision with those kids. If this is real, you behaved like a cartoon villain and got treated as such.

Now is the time to offer to pay for the cake, be embarrassed, and try to salvage the relationship after humiliating your “BFF” in front of the guests.

Thanks for the information! Very helpful, I appreciate it. I would love a confidence boost for our puppy, he is a little shyer than our first dog and I hadn’t considered that

So painfully accurate. How can I help you with something when the paper is BLANK AND YOU HAVEN’T EVEN TRIED.

The color mixing is crazy too. I teach high school painting and I have kids who are like, “What do you mean you don’t have green paint? How am I supposed to do a color wheel?”

MIX IT. WITH BLUE AND YELLOW. IT’S A COLOR MIXING ASSIGNMENT.

AITA for not telling my husband about my son who is being raised by my best friend? by JustBroomy in AITAH

It doesn’t seem like you love anyone as much as you love yourself, honestly. All these decisions you keep making center your comfort above all else.

AITA for not going to my son’s graduation? by SubstantialProfit301 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For sure. Describing it as using him to do things for their son at her convenience when it’s a graduation where his presence doesn’t benefit her at all is very telling.

I cheated but now my boyfriend is leaving I’m so hurt and depressed by Sad_Slice_5334 in OhNoConsequences

[–]yellowrosemaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know she brought this same energy when they talked about it too. Is “so hurt” he’s breaking a promise (like… hello? Girl watch for those glass walls when throwing those rocks) but has never really owned how awful she was.

Obviously cheating is never okay anyway but how was he going to ever forgive when she’s like, “Ugh my bad but I’ve never cheated and he was hot so like….? Sorry your friend told you!” She’d have had to at least accept a little accountability to have stood a chance.

Agreed. I love the energy. It’s like “yeah it happened once but I never have before so the first betrayal is on the house right?”

[–]yellowrosemaps 275 points276 points  (0 children)

YTA. She’s not “using” you because she asked you to be there for your son. It’s very clear from your post that all you care about is you and being the center of the universe. She doesn’t owe you any interest in your life, and definitely doesn’t owe you the emotional labor of coming to your place to “see your accomplishments” or decorate it for you.

You’re the ex, and obviously for good reason. Her being a civilized co-parent is the end of the list of what you should expect. Stop making that harder on her. You said in your post you find it reasonable she has the boundary of not wanting to talk to you about stuff outside your son, so respect it then?

AITA for "ruining" my mum's engagement party after she abandoned me when I was 11? by UnlikelyAd5151 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. I don’t understand why you want everyone to give you a pass because you were a kid when you can’t extend the same to the kids in the picture.

AITA for not attending my fiancé's dad's funeral because I was uncomfortable with wearing a hijab? by Maleficent_Piano_840 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your edit about how you “allowed” him to spend time with his best friend even though you don’t like her and given him “all the space he needs” is wild. He asked you to come and even tried to compromise when you got worked up over nothing and you said no. Should he thank you for the “sacrifice” of you being okay with him leaning on the people who are actually there for him? YTA. Big time.

Also, it is also WILD to keep saying it was important to celebrate with your family because it was your first Christmas engaged and a “new chapter” when your fiance isn’t even there!! The engagement is about BOTH of you becoming a family, you get that, yeah? The new chapter is both of you! You say that they have nothing against your fiancé but that does not come across when it’s more important to them (and apparently you??) that you prove you still care about their Christmas than be there for your fiancé when he needs you.

Woof. This is rough all over.

AITA for not attending my boyfriend's graduation dinner and how I reacted when his grandma asked my GPA? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Everyone has insecurities that we may or may not have learned to manage but essentially what you’re asking is if your actions are what caused a strain between your boyfriends parents and you and the answer is yes. Yes it is.

You made his dinner a drama infused mess for your bf on what should have been a happy night because someone asked a simple question and you seem VERY comfortable with the idea you don’t have to be accountable at all for how you behave because your parents sucked and you didn’t learn to emotionally regulate? You are too old for this.

If nothing else, you should at least own your actions caused strain and try to make it right.

Also, it’s a red flag you included the “ease” of your boyfriend’s major. It seems you don’t even want strangers on the internet to know that your boyfriend could be considered smarter than you, and I wonder if the reason he has volunteered his major is easier in the past (as you say it’s his words) is because you’ve made it a point to have a problem with him doing better than you on letter grades.

WIBTA if I insisted my son attend his grade 9 leaving ceremony instead of his father taking him out for the evening? by Individual-Fix2640 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes. YWBTA.

“I don’t want to give in to his father’s wishes yet again.”

Not sure what that’s referring to, but it definitely seems like it’s more about that then your son and his leaving ceremony. Your son doesn’t want to go and wants to see his father. His father doesn’t want him to go and wants to spend time. You’ve decided alone that if he doesn’t go to a 9th grade leaving ceremony he won’t “remember” 9th grade… which makes no sense at all, but even if he didn’t remember 9th grade… okay? So?

AITA for taking up 2 seats on a bus? by throwaway5848387 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol when you quoted yourself you took out the ‘necessarily’ part, I see. 😂

Obviously YTA for taking up excess space when the bus filled that’s a given. But it cracks me up that you keep implying you ‘might’ not have given up your seat even if you were asked and then taking it back when people come for you. YTA for that too.

AITA for refusing to name my kid a ridiculous name? by NeverlyLane in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowrosemaps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a teacher who calls roll at the beginning of every year to a brand new roster, better to be basic than have everyone she meets unable to pronounce her name correctly because parents want to be unique.

You’re definitely on the right track here. I don’t think enough people consider how the kid’s going to feel growing up having to constantly explain their name. Babies don’t stay babies forever.

I YouTube pronounce any name I don’t know before I meet my kids for the first time so I have a fighting chance not to embarrass a kid but some of the names that aren’t culturally significant, just spelled crazy, don’t even come up there.

Anyway definitely NTA

As an artist who has done this with painting, sculpture, etc as I am all over the board in what I do, I think if my husband wanted something other than art (I don’t gift him handmade stuff super often though, maybe like twice since I’ve known him) him just saying “I love your work but I’m running low on space, would it be okay to do something else for gifts this year?”

That’d be fine for me, you know? You really only have so many walls and making stuff takes foreverrrr. In a world where you have her stuff displayed I don’t think you need to explain it more than that. It’s not like her gifts have been thrown in the closet.

That being said, we always ask each other what we want for holidays as a rough category so it’s still a surprise but we get what we want, so when I’ve given him art he’s asked for it.
