I’m clearly outnumbered here and made my case as best I could with the given information, but it’s bleak. Both sisters are clearly in the wrong for stealing and for covering up for it. The brother is rightfully outraged and is doing what he thinks is right against the injustices his sisters and family at large brought on him. However, it has and will continue to be a tremendous burden on him psychologically for the rest of his life, even if his sister getting punished makes him (and us, the audience) happy in the short term.

It's only a felony in the eyes of the law.

That’s peanuts. I have been in a group chat with just 8 elder millennials ever since ios messages moved off of sms, and it still gets 400-500 messages per day, like 16-20 messages per hour.

100 zoomers should be able to do way better than 100 messages an hr.

I remember in a systems class we did a small case study on communications during 9/11.
IIRC, the NYC area at the time could handle about 2000 SMS messages per minute.

AITA for telling my son the truth that the reason I had zero contact with him while he grew up is because I hate kids?

I (f36) lost my 3 year old son from a chronic condition that he was born with. I struggled a lot with his illness and receieved a lot of support from my family when my ex husband was too busy with work than care for his son.

When my brother and his wife found out they were expecting (they suffered from a miscarriage after a miscarriage) and because of their financial situation I decided to lend them my son's nursery to use for their baby under the condition they give it back when they no longer need it. It's an expensive nursery and the process of shipping (I live in another country) took me time and money and of course not to mention it's sentimental value.

They were so grateful for my help and appreciated it a lot but my sister in law unfortunately lost her baby at 5 months in the pregnancy and I heard from my mother since my brother and sister in law went low contact with everyone to be able to grieve. I waited few months before asking for the nursery back since they no longer need it. I called and asked my brother to send it back despite how cruel I sounded but I just had to get it back but I was shocked after my brother said they sold it, all of it, every single piece. I asked why and he said his wife was depressed and he needed money to take her on a vacation a month ago. I lost my temper and started screaming at him on the phone reminding him that this belonged to my son and only for them to borrow not sell. He apologized and asked me to be understanding of his wife's position as a grieving mother myself. I said no THEY should have considered how selling my son's nursery would affect me as a grieving mother and he replied that he didn't think I was being fair to scream at him for wanting to help his wife through these hard times. I told him that is not my problem and that I will be suing them both over the nursery and for every penny he made out of selling it. He called me nuts and hung up then called my parents. They tried to get involved after I threatened to sue and called me callous and unhinged for threatening my brother and sister in law with court and told me to let it go I don't need the nursery and it's not worth causing permenant damage in my relationship with my brother over "few pieces of furniture". My ex husband blamed me saying it was my fault for giving the nursery to my brother but I just wanted to help. He keeps pushing for the idea to sue but my parents are telling me not to.

Am i the rear end in a top hat for wanting to sue them for the nursery that cost us nearly over 4k?

Just to explain something : My ex husband gets a say because he paid for the nursery as well and he keeps pushing for me to sue and told me he'll do it if I choose to back down. He keeps saying it's my fault for letting my brother have the nursery in the first place and he's very upset with me about it.

I’m posting here because I don’t know if I made the right decision and I still have time to reverse it. I don’t want what is TECHNICALLY right, I know I can kick anyone out of my house who is an adult and not paying rent. I just want to know if I was an rear end in a top hat for this.

My brother was supposed to be watching my son (3 years old) while I was visiting family. He sent me these weird texts right before I got home until he called and explained to me he had a date come over, but she started acting really crazy and hasn’t left.

When I got back home, the girl was still there, CRYING. I tried to talk to her but she wasn’t saying anything that made sense. My brother said he didn’t do anything to her, they started hooking up and then she started freaking out. I ended up driving her home in her car and she explained things a little more to me, but not why she was so upset. She did say she just met him on Tinder, and I told her I couldn’t believe she talked a little bit with a guy on Tinder and just…went to his house? I tried to give her a safety talk but she just told me she wasn’t in the right state of mind at the time which confirmed her problem wasn’t my brother.

I told my brother I couldn’t believe he brought a stranger over when my son was there and he said he was asleep the whole time. I said I didn’t care, you can’t bring strangers over ESPECIALLY for sex when he’s supposed to be looking after my son. Then I said having a stranger over is dangerous and he said she’s an eighteen year old girl (he’s 20, not a creep), she’s not like bringing a grown man over. He did that “I’m sorry for trying to have a personal life” thing and I told him he’s leaving by the end of the week.

This morning I honestly feel pretty bad but instead of apologizing to me he’s just avoiding me. Which is making me not want to go back on what I said. AITA?

Exactly. The real winning move is to die completely destitute and leave no inheritance behind! That's what both my parents did and it made everything pain free! Actually, it still managed to be a nightmare. I have relatives I've never even met coming out of the woodwork trying to get some of my mom's ashes and they don't take "she wanted them spread at X location" as an acceptable answer.

A lot of my hobbies are semi competitive, gaming, tabletop gaming, triathlon, etc. My girlfriend's hobbies are hiking, camping, painting, and yoga.

I've been kind of frustrated trying to include her in some of my hobbies.

First, we were hanging out at my friends house playing Catan, a strategy game. She kept on trying to build the longest road in the game, which can give you a small bonus towards winning but will not alone win the game. She wasn't trying at the point of the game at all, she was just kinda joking around.

Me and my friends do play to win so having someone ignore the point of the game to just be silly messed with our game.

Another time, we were playing video games with my friends and she didn't really try to learn the controls. It made my friends feel like they had to carry her through the game for the group to progress. She got bored of playing and stopped partway through which was also frustrating because the game was harder to play with an undersized team.

Another time, she and her friends went to pub trivia and some of her friends were trying to answer the questions and she just hung out and wrote silly joke answers on the answer sheet. When she brought it up the host gave her extra points for humor tho and that really encouraged her to keep on not taking it seriously even when she knew the answers she was making jokes.

Her friends weren't too bothered but I got frustrated because we were in second place to win 60 bucks for the group and she threw it away for a joke. I told her it bothered me and she said she and her friends were just there to have a laugh, they weren't too bothered about winning.

One more time, we'd decided to do a charity bike race and she showed up with her fixie bike; with one gear that isn't great for hills. She has a good road bike too. I mentioned this and she said that she'd just get a great leg workout then. It frustrated me though because it seemed like she'd purposely handicapped herself for the race. She said that it was for charity, we already supported the charity with our race fees and donation, it didn't have to be that serious.

After all that, I got pretty frustrated with her and said that she was being pretty inconsiderate by not making an honest effort for anything.

She said she was frustrated with me for putting arbitrary poo poo like a video game or riding a bike fast over her as a person. And she feels disrespected when I act like a video game or a game that is supposed to be fun is sooo much more important than just having a nice time with everyone.

I said I wasn't trying to hold poo poo over her, and she said that is what it feels like when I lecture her or tell her she is doing things wrong. And that when I came to pub trivia with her friends, I made them uncomfortable by taking it too seriously and lecturing her.

AITA for wishing my girlfriend would take activities more seriously?

Wait, what does everyone want a part of the ashes for?

My mom has been helping my grandfather(her father-in-law) out for almost 20 years. He’s been sick for a while now, and she has been taking care of his finances and things like that.

Recently grandpa has taken a turn for the worse and had to be put in a nursing home for the remainder of his life due to constant medical needs.

My uncle is sueing my mom for power of attorney and removing her from the will. He doesn’t like my mom or my dad. He’s the oldest and now thinks since my grandpa is venerable, my uncle is taking advantage of the situation.

Unbeknownst to them, I’m well off but live 2000 miles away. I bought out my grandpa’s home a few years back so he could be comfortable and not worry about money. (He had cancer at the time and needed funds)

So now, since the market is good and my uncle is an rear end, I’m placing it on the market as soon as everything gets cleaned out. My grandpa’s new will left my uncle the contents of the house but not the home itself. I filed the legal paperwork and said, get this poo poo out. You have 30 days.

I made it clear that he can exhaust his fees on lawyers and it’s not going to hurt me in the long run financially like it would my uncle and his children.

My uncle is just being greedy and I’m sick of him. I’m also getting a lawyer to examine the will because technically it’s not the contents of my grandpa’s home but now it’s mine.

My uncle is just looking for a payday once my grandpa dies and I’m not having it.

So I’m taking other measures and now the rest of the family thinks I’m an rear end in a top hat for blocking my uncle with lawyers and selling a family home.
