I kinda feel for this one, since it's hard dealing with anxiety and stressful events, especially after a difficult experience like a miscarriage... but mental health is not a 100% get out of jail free card to absolve you of loving up someone else's day.

Yeah it was from the wife's POV. She said that her manager husband was fired because a new employee, a young 20 something woman, was sexually propositioning him, and when he turned her down, she faked a harassment allegation on him, and then they fired him without warning. She wanted to know what their legal options were, but was getting frustrated that her husband didn't want to fight it.

For starters, no wedding has ever been hosed up by a lack of or a second string flower girl. It seems the way the bride reacted was less about making sure her friend was ok (over a period of months where the op was seriously spiraling) and more about losing her daughter as a walking prop. Second, miscarriages are hugely devastating to people, physically (all of your hormones ricocheting without the burst of oxytocin to balance it out) and emotionally and that's on top of already existing anxiety. My mother had five kids and never fully got over her miscarriage.

AITA for firing my nanny for faking sick to get out of working?

quote:

My husband and I hired a nanny back in August to care for our kids while we're working. The kids are on a weird schedule at school where they don't attend every day or all day so we hired a full-time nanny, "Marie". We liked Marie, despite some issues with her following guidelines we'd discussed when we hired her: she let the kids have way too much screen time, she spent more time on her phone than with the kids, she would make messes and let the kids makes messes and she wouldn't clean up after them, she had friends over without letting us know, she let the kids pig out on junk food instead of feeding them real food. All of this had been discussed when we hired her, and we saw it all when we reviewed our security cam footage, so we sat her down about three different times and gave her official warnings each time. She'd improve for a while each time but go back to the way she'd been before.

Three days Marie called out, said she was really sick, so I told her to get better and I'd call out from work to be with the kids. I'm in the middle of a big project at work and people not coming hurt everyone but I'm a mom first and I don't expect Marie to take care of the kids if she feels sick so I called out. The next day it was really hot out and the local water park is running an off-season special with cheap tickets so I took the kids and after a while we ran into Marie with a group of her friends. I really couldn't say anything except I hoped she was feeling better. Marie started to apologize and told me that her best friend had gotten tickets to the park and she wanted to go and she didn't think I'd have given her the day off.

I told her I would have if only she'd told me the truth. I explained to her that she'd lied to me and made me call out at a time that was really inconvenient and if she'd just told me the truth then I'd have understood and I would have been happy to give her the day off and call out myself, it's the fact that she lied to me is what upset me. I added the lie to her other warnings and decided she wasn't worth keeping employed. My husband and I pay well-above market rate and we provide everything, all she needed to do was take care of the kids and follow the few rules we set. I took her aside and really quietly and as kindly as possible explained this to her and told her that I'd pay her for the whole week but she was fired. Marie started crying and her friends figured out what was happening. They called me a bitch, a Karen, a monster. My kids got upset so I took them and left. Marie has been blowing my phone up with apologies and begging for another chance.

Some of my friends say I should have given her another chance and that firing her was an overreaction. Was I an rear end in a top hat?

EDIT: Marie is not some teenager, she's a 26 year old woman with a a degree in Early Childhood Education and some other certifications/licenses related to the field. She's had one previous long-term nannying job, classroom experience, and she has several younger siblings and relatives and an extensive babysitting career, all of this I verified, along with a good review from her former position. I had no reason to suspect she was less than she presented.

for practical reasons if nothing else. scrubbing through the footage for whatever normal reason and happening to land on a bunch of extra adults in the house would be one thing, but it's not like you can tell the terminal to give you a brief of only the bits that'll make you mad. if you're logging the amount of time she spends on her phone you're spending roughly as long spying on the nanny as you would have just watching your own goddamn kids

AITA for throwing my friend a surprise party and not turning up?

quote:

A few months ago, my (21F) friend (23F) joked that she wanted a surprise party for her birthday. I winked at her and said I could make that happen. She seemed excited and said she�d probably forget by the time it was her birthday, so it would be a surprise.

A couple weeks before her birthday, she jokingly asked how her surprise party planning was going. Before I could answer she said �you know, now I�m pretty sure you�re going to do it, which makes it not a surprise�. So I said �oh sorry, I forgot to plan it, and I kinda thought you were joking.� Because I wanted it to be a surprise. She seemed upset but didn�t say anything else.

A week before her birthday party, she falls out with me because I was talking to her brother and didn�t tell her about it. I didn�t tell her about it because I like him and I didn�t want the pressure, I just wanted to get to know him. But I see why she�s upset. I�m away for that week for work, so I don�t see her all week. I tried to call her twice but she didn�t answer.

The day before her birthday, I text her and ask if we can talk because I want us to make up. I apologise and ask her to call me. She says that I�ve been avoiding her all week, and that I don�t care, so she doesn�t want to talk to me. I say okay, sorry again, hope you have a good birthday and that we speak soon.

Her birthday comes round, and her surprise birthday party goes ahead without me. I asked another friend to take over and execute it. She didn�t want to talk to me or be friends with me and I didn�t want her to see me and be mad or feel forced to make up with me, but I still wanted her to have a good time. So I was sad but fine with not going, if it meant she had a good birthday.

That night, she finds out that I planned the party. She calls me, and she�s angry that I�m not there. She says it would have been the perfect moment to make up and that she saw how much I cared about her and wanted to make up. She also says I made her look like an rear end in a top hat because she had to explain to everyone that even though I planned the party, I wasn�t there because she fell out with me. Apparently I�m the rear end in a top hat.

Holy Jesus. Who is the real rear end in a top hat? (I�ll probably show her this btw.. whichever answer it is)

AITA for not letting my in laws convince my kids to name their puppy after my husband's late wife?

quote:

My (27F) husband (40M) was married for twelve years, together for sixteen, to his high school sweetheart. She was a big part of his life so of course she was really important to him and his family adored her, and I was fine with that because they spent almost two decades with her and their love for her is understandable, but as the years went by it started to bother me. It is as if she had been their wife and not his, for them she's a kind of saint and nobody is as perfect as her. And I hate to say it but they're obsessed with her.

When I got pregnant with my first they tried to convince me to name my daughter after his late wife, of course my husband and I said no right away but they did it again when I got pregnant with my second baby, we refused and they tried again with our last daughter, we refused to do that again, and since they could never get what they wanted now they are trying to convince my kids (4F, 1F and a one month old) to name their puppy after his late wife.

We adopted a puppy a few days ago, but she doesn't have a name because our kids couldn't choose one for her yet. And since we brought her home, my in laws (65F, 74M) are trying to convince them to name her after his late wife. But I don't want to name our puppy after her, and I told them that but now they are mad at me because they think I hate her and that it is clear that I want to erase her from my husband's life (when we started dating he sold the house where he used to live with her and gave away everything that once belonged to her, he only kept a few photos. And his family thinks that was my fault, so that's the reason they said that)

He talked to them and told them that it is time to accept that she's gone and that now I'm his wife and that we have our own family and that our lives cannot revolve around someone who is no longer with us. And that only made things worse, they think that I brainwashed him and that I'm doing all this because I'm jealous because I know that "I will never be her", so I got mad and told them that of course I'm not her because she's dead and I'm alive, but I didn't say it to make fun of her because she's dead, I said it to point out that I am here and I am his wife and part of his family, and that they should respect me too, but apparently everyone took it the wrong way.

And now even my mom (who was there) thinks I'm overreacting and that if I let them name the puppy after her it's not a big deal because she's just a puppy that will be in our lives for only a few years, and she also called me an rear end in a top hat for not understanding the "pain" of my in laws, so I would like to know if I am the rear end in a top hat for not wanting to name our puppy after her.

I've got a lot of different fruit trees and they do require a bit of fertilization and pruning to get the best results. I imagine she'd still want to do some kind of minimum amount of care just so it doesn't become an eyesore since it's in front of her home.

AITA for ruining my fianc�'s DND game?

quote:

My fianc� (29 M) plays DnD, and while it's not my (31 F) thing, I obviously don't mind. He's a bit anxious and doesn't easily make friends. He was so excited when he joined a DnD group and met new people. I like the group members, except for Chris who's kind of frat-ish. He constantly makes disparaging "jokes" about his wife. He calls her "the Old Ball and Chain" unironically and says poo poo like, "I gotta call the Warden and ask for permission first." I don't know why a twenty-something man talks like a 1950s oil tycoon, but here we are. He also doesn't contribute when people bring communal snacks to DnD.

Which brings me to my point. I don't drink often, but I will sometimes buy a nice (~$50) bottle of vodka. A serving on the rocks makes me feel like an adult in a way I can neither explain nor justify. When we have guests over, we set out assorted drinks/snacks/etc. If they want something specific, they have to bring it or ask.

Awhile ago, Fianc� held a DnD session at our house. I greeted everyone and then made myself scarce. Later, I came out only to find Chris in our kitchen, opening my new vodka. I told him, "Hey, I thought we told you, but you're supposed to ask first. That's not for guests. It's a bit pricey."

Instead of addressing me, Chris turned to Fianc� and said, "What's hers is yours, right? Welcome to marriage!" I was floored. Chris then said, "You don't mind me having some, right?" And poured before I could answer. The group was waiting on him to resume playing, so I let it go (my first mistake, for those keeping score.) After everyone left, Fianc� confirmed that Chris hadn't asked him either before taking my vodka.

This past weekend, DnD happened again. I came out to get some water, and Chris was once again helping himself to my vodka. But here's what totally broke my brain: Chris had BYOB'd, and yet he was still drinking mine.

I marched right over and complained. Chris either ignored me or didn't hear, so I asked why he was taking mine when he'd brought his own. He said mine was "nicer" and "You don't have to be such a bitch about it. It's a little vodka. Are you an alcoholic or are you just cheap?"

I told him to leave. Not politely. Chris kept saying "this is bullshit" over and over, collected his stuff, and stormed out. After, things were very awkward. The group agreed he shouldn't have called me a bitch, but well ... Chris was the DM. I don't know a lot about DnD, but without him, there's no game. They have to either keep playing somewhere else with him or start a new campaign that excludes him. Everyone asked me if he's banished forever or if he can come back to our house, and I didn't know what to tell them. I would let Chris back if he apologized, but somehow I don't think I should hold my breath.

I feel really bad. Fianc� was so excited about this game, and I may have ended it. Fianc� supports me, ftr, but he's worried Chris will cause future problems. AITA?

My Boyfriend Is a Loser and I'm Embarrassed, Please Advice on Dumping Him Smoothly

quote:

Throwing it because my MIL has Reddit. English is my second language. I'm( F39) very turned off by my boyfriend. He used to be so much fun to be around and seemed like he had a normal life. Gabe (37) and I hit it off immediately, tbh, the connection I�ve experienced in this relationship is the reason I haven�t left him yet. I�d like to be honest and say I�m not trying to play the victim. I walked into this relationship strictly looking for fun and games after a mental/emotional burnout period. To resume, I�ve been the one to work hard on relationships and end up getting the short end of the rope. So, this time, I�ve tried to enjoy it while it lasts. I was drawn to Gabe since we laughed a lot, confided in each other and treated each other with consideration.

I have financial and career stability. I now live closer to him, after one year of relationship. I'm now slowly losing respect for him. He's nice to me, we don't have arguments, he tries to be considerate, etc. I just can't stand his need for recognition. His goals change every day. We were watching a political biopic and there he jumped to say someone asked him to run for mayor, then progressed his story to having been groomed and recruited to run 8 years ago but intrigue and cheating from his own team took his opportunity away. I researched this and couldn't find anything.

He told me he was a regional director at his job. He talked the part and even did some name dropping. I don�t know much about his job, so I didn�t really know whether this would be real or not. His office inaugurated operations last spring. He invited me and maintained this regional director story til the last minute. I went to the event ( no big deal, the office is inside a mall, and they had a 1 hour long welcoming event). I felt something was off. He walked around with his backpack while being ignored by his co-workers. I followed him around because I didn't know anyone else. I�ll admit to feeling very out of place. Then he had a change of heart and said I should leave if I wanted to because the event was boring. I was confused but was already eating from the buffet so I stayed. They announced the entire staff and his name was mentioned but never as a director. He walked around telling everyone he was being considered for the position. Huh? I didn't say anything because that was both weird and disconcerting, plus I wasn't trying to embarrass him. Gabe spent days talking about this/wouldn�t let go and even provided a very elaborate explanation for what happened (fiasco). I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I never made it a requirement to work a certain job to date him, so lying was very uncalled for.

He's been experiencing unusual bad luck lately. His car was keyed twice and his bike was stolen within a 3 day period. His habits are changing and he�s acting very intruding. He wants to "test" my lady parts' discharge for viscosity/fertility. He wants to check my ovulation cycle like he�s an expert. He's been trying to read too much into my FB contact list and has been talking about people in my own friend list reaching out to him but when I ask them, they don�t know what I�m talking about.

I�ve been curious about his past since his life seems like it's falling apart and I�m convinced that he is under some type of revenge attack. If this is true, I�m out. I don�t wanna go into too much detail to avoid being found out but I just learned his past relationship ended when he got exposed for cheating on her. The wedding was called off and this seemingly caused his fall from grace. His exe's family owns car dealerships so I�m not sure what type of job Gabe had but he was definitely their employee. I don�t like this, these secrets and poo poo situations are a huge turnoff.

My breaking point happened yesterday. I have a semi permanent tooth bridge. I�ve never told him because that�s private. We were in his car and he reached out to my face and before I knew, he was trying to yank it off. I felt really uncomfortable. I don�t know if he was purposely trying to diminish my confidence. We went to a burger joint afterwards and while I was treated like a regular customer, the waiting staff wasn�t nice to him. We were practically kicked out after he mentioned he is friends with the owner.

He grinned about his hypothetical revenge on the restaurant staff �when he becomes powerful� but didn�t answer my questions about whether there's some kind of beef with those people and why.

I need to break this off but don�t wanna detail all my reasons because I know hurting his ego might backfire. I need advice on what to say so that he gets put off completely and doesn�t bother trying to hold on to the relationship. Any advice to discourage him would be great.

AITA for ruining my fiancé's DND game?

This reads like the kind of guy that DMs because enough other people wouldn't have him at their table.

I also can't imagine wanting to game with someone who helped themselves to anything in my home without asking and then treated my partner like poo poo. And all the rear end in a top hat DMs I've ever played with ran bad games anyway.

Big Grunty Secret: Aug 28, 2007; Just one question, though. Is there a way to take off my pants?

Say "I cast magic missile" and throw the vodka bottle at Chris's face

Your original cat was an evil genius cat that was swapped with an idiot cat. It�s running a conservative think tank Maryland now.

Hmmm pathological liar, history of cheating, revenge fantasies against fast food employees he�s somehow developed bad blood with at 37: just a few hiccups you can overcome with couples therapy, love conquers all!!

Don't forget the physical assault!

I have a semi permanent tooth bridge. I�ve never told him because that�s private. We were in his car and he reached out to my face and before I knew, he was trying to yank it off.
