Reminds me of all the hospital patients I've cared for who, for one reason or another, couldn't speak. I'd ask them to write down. They always acted like it was the biggest insult and indignity despite me having no judgment on their circumstances and a simple desire to know wtf they wanted. When we did get a verbally compromised patient willing to use alternate communication means, I went so so far out of my way to make sure they got anything they drat well asked for.

God drat some people are prideful morons. When I woke up in the hospital after getting shot I found my mouth was wired shut and I couldn't talk to people it took me maybe an hour before I was miming "Get me a pen and paper." I eventually learned how to talk that way after a month or so but I still used a pen and paper at times because it was hard for some people to understand me.

Hell, a day or two after I was shot a colonel came into my room with his Sergent-Major and told me if there is anything I need just ask. I thought for a couple of seconds and wrote down "Promote me." They passed that around, getting a good laugh, before the colonel said "Sure. I think you've earned it."

WIBTA if I tell my oldest sister her fianc� is cheating with our other sister?

quote:

Hello. I will try to make this as good as possible but English is not my first language and I�m using autocorrect so if anything is wrong I�m sorry.

So I (16f) have two older sisters: A(27) B(22).

I was walking home from school on thursday. On the way I stopped by A�s home to return a shirt I had used for halloween. (Very late I know) I was wearing headphones so I didn�t hear anything. When I went into the bedroom to put her shirt in the closet I saw my sisters fianc� (C) and my other sister B having sex on the bed. They saw me to and all of us panicked and just stood still. Then my sister started yelling and I got out of there as fast as I could and run home. My sister called me and said I couldn�t tell A anything but I told her I would. But now both B and C are calling nonstop that I should not say anything because I will ruin Christmas.

My family usually do a very big Christmas with all the grandparents and cousins and aunts/uncles etc. We could not see each other last year and this can be my grandfathers last Christmas because he is very old and sick. I don�t want to ruin things. My boyfriend says I should tell A and I feel like I should but I also don�t want to ruin Christmas and make everybody sad. WIBTA if I told my sister?

I hope everything was understandable.

Affording to have kids early in life is certainly possible if you've got a big family and a job to take a lot of the financial stress out of it.

I've got a massive family so my wife and I never had to buy any clothes/furniture. Also weren't hurting for grandma's and grandpa's to watch the kids. And as much as the military sucks they do pay all the medical bills.

Cowslips Warren: Oct 29, 2005; What use had they for tricks and cunning, living in the enemy's warren and paying his price?; Grimey Drawer

Some years ago, my ex-friend's sister was the first of the five kids to have a baby. Her mom was thrilled, and then upset because it was 13 years since they had had a baby in the family. The youngest kid was just about 13.

Mom was so desperate for grandbabies, but threw a shitfit when the second oldest girl in the family was caught with birth control. Sex is bad, but grandbabies are good.

AITA for telling my parents that they're babying my younger brother?

quote:

I (14M) am the 3rd kid out of 6. I have 2 older half-siblings and 3 younger full-siblings. That isn't really important here though.

This whole conflict started when I was in the kitchen with my younger brother J (9M, also the youngest sibling) and he asked me to grab him a cup from the cabinet so he could get some juice. Okay, no problem, he can't reach the cabinet yet. I grab him the cup, and he gets his juice. The he tries to walk away without putting away the juice.

I stopped J and said "What are you doing? You have to put the juice back in the fridge so it stays good." and he told me to do it instead. I said "No, you're the one who got the juice, you need to be responsible and put it away."

J yelled and said I was being mean, and our Dad came in and told me to just put the drat juice away and stop causing problems.

Later in that day, I was getting ready to take J and my other sisters K and E and their friends to the park, and J asked me to put his shoes on him and tie them for him. I was honestly shocked. I told him no, and that he should know how to do that himself, he's nine years old. He told me that he never learned how to tie his shoes, so I sat hum down and tried to teach him how to do it so he doesn't have to ask people to do it for him.

He ignored me and whined to our Mom that I wasn't putting his shoes on him, and Mom yelled at me and told me to just do it.

There have been multiple instances where things like this have happened, and the rest of my siblings (ages ranging from 11-18) and I agree that J is lacking the basic skills a 9 year old needs to be a functioning person, such as basic hygiene (he can do things like shower and brush his teeth, but it's more of an issue that he doesn't know when or how often to do these things) and being able to grab himself simple things to eat (not something that would be cooked on the stove, more like a bowl of cereal or heating up leftovers in the microwave). All of us could do those things before we were 9.

I told my parents this and said that I think they're babying J. They yelled at me and said that I'm not the parent and to mind my own business. They're right, I'm not the parent, but they're not really acting like parents either. My siblings and I have had to teach him how to do basic things like pouring cereal or putting on his sheos, things that the parents should be teaching him to do. AITA for telling them that they're babying him?

Edit: I get that they may be tired after raising 5 other children together, but that's no excuse to basically throw raising the last child upon the older siblings. I'm only 5 years older than him, and my younger sisters are 2 and 4 years older. My older siblings are 7 and 9 years older than J. We can help out here and there, but we shouldn't have to teach him these things ourselves and basically parent him for our parents.

There's also a lot of wiggle room in what it means to be able to "afford" having kids, too. A lot of the difference between people that have kids early and people that have kids late (or don't have kids at all) is less about the actual economic difference and more about comfort level and willingness to say "gently caress it (bareback)" and hope that things work out somehow.

AITA for Only Spoiling Myself?

quote:

First time poster, so please bare with me. My parents adored my older sister L. I was the oops baby they had later in life. Growing up, I was well aware that my older sister and was the star of the show. I wasn't abused--just ignored. Ex. Sister had huge party every year, and the one year I wanted one (16th birthday), my parents basically let her take over and it ended up being all about her. I always felt second best. When it was time for college, my folks told me I was on my own as my L switched majors so they had to spend more money on her degree. It was up to me to figure it out. Luckily I had the grades. I applied for grants/scholarships and left 2 days after HS graduation. I've been LC since.

Through hard work, counseling, and good friends, I'm pretty happy with the person I am today. I own my own home, my retirement plan is sound, so I enjoy spoiling myself (nice car, vacations with friends). I often post our adventures on social media. (This is important).

After 7 years of not speaking (cards at Christmas), my mom reached out and invited me to Thanksgiving. I went more out of curiosity than hopes of reconciliation (but I had an open mind). When I arrived, L was there. That degree never happened. (She's currently posting stuff on Tic Toc waiting become a viral star). In the meantime she's living at home.

After dinner, my mom mentioned that she started following me on FB and saw what a nice life I had. L made the comment that 'it must be nice to have money to throw away and ignore your familial responsibilities.' My mom co-signed this nonsense stating that since I was doing so well, I should be helping out especially since she and Dad are close to retirement age. The house needs work, and L could use a little help because family helps family. I should start pitching in to ease the burden.

Here's where I might be the rear end in a top hat: I told Mom that she and Dad bet on the wrong horse. And that I don't owe her, him, or my delusional sibling a drat thing. I left and blocked them. AITA for not even considering helping out since I have a healthy amount of disposable income? AITA further for thinking the invite was nothing more than the opening salvo to get money?

AITA for threatening to leave a road trip early knowing it will mean none of us get any money?

quote:

Every year when we were kids our family would go on a road trip through Europe for the summer, until our parents divorced. Towards the end of my parents� marriage my dad changed� a lot. I was the only one who stayed in contact with him, out of his three children, but I cut him off over two years ago because he took my ex-fianc�s side over mine when we broke up.

My older sister reached out to my dad as she had been going through some financial hardships and he is the only one who could help her. He told her he would help, but only if she could convince me, my brother and my mum to go on one last family road trip. My dad likes playing games and he promised all of us would receive money, not just my sister, if we saw the trip through to the end. I only agreed because my sister really does need his help.

The trip has been weird and awkward from the start. My parents seem to be reconnecting which has made my brother very angry. My sister seems to be completely team dad now which is something I never thought would happen in a million years. I�ve been mostly trying to keep to myself as much as possible which is hard when you�re stuck in a car with everyone.

However, yesterday I threatened to leave the trip and everyone is still mad at me over it. My dad kept bringing up how someone else was going to join us at our next stop and that it would be a nice surprise. I felt sick the entire drive and my gut was telling me I wouldn�t like who was there. We arrive, and the surprise guest turns out to be my ex-fianc�.

My reaction wasn�t good at all. I yelled at my dad, I yelled at my ex, I yelled at my siblings and mum. I threatened to leave the trip and called my dad and ex some awful names. My dad made it very clear that if I leave nobody gets the money. I was so mad that I would�ve just up and left there and then regardless, but my sister convinced me to calm down and sleep on it.

Now my dad keeps mentioning how he may have to reconsider helping any of us after I was so rude to him. He wants me to apologise to him and to my ex, specifically for causing a scene and threatening to leave. So far, I�ve refused and now my siblings are both turning on me.

AITA for kissing my husband at a friend's event?

quote:

I (F37) and my husband (M42) attended my friend Becky's (F36) annual barbeque last weekend. Becky and I have been close friends since college. I met my husband shortly after graduating and while him and Becky have never been very close, such as hanging out without me, they have always been friendly toward one another and we've all hung out together on numerous occasions. Becky recently lost her husband due to a medical issue and we've all been devastated.

This year Becky texted me the day before her event and told me that she was making this years occasion a child-free one and that meant I couldn't bring my three year old and that she understood if I couldn't make it. I bit my tongue in an effort to be respectful and thanked her for letting me know and told her I indeed wouldn't be able to make it. She responded by saying she was looking forward to seeing my husband at dinner though. I saw no issue with this and sent her a thumbs up.

The next morning was the day of Becky's event and my MIL luckily agreed to babysit our toddler. We thanked MIL and headed over to Becky's with food, gifts, and no children in toe.

As we walked in Becky greeted my husband with a hug and an excited hellooooooo and then me with a sort of surprised look on her face. She didn't say much to me and went into her living room with everybody else. I went to put down the food on the counter while she introduced everybody to my husband and referred to him as "dear" (my husband told me this later on in the evening). I walked into the room and she gave me no mind since she was deep in a conversation with a friend of hers.

Some time into the party, Becky and my husband were both standing at the patio door and she had her arm around his waist. He spotted and looked at me with a "help me" glare so I made my way over thinking she had one too many. I gave him a kiss as he separated from her grasp. Becky looked at the both of us and then back at the others at the party with a shocked expression and then ran back into the house crying. She ran into the bedroom and locked the room and screamed at me to leave through the door. I tried asking her what had upset her and why she wanted us to leave numerous times. She refused to answer me and just kept crying. So, we left and on the way out received some pretty dirty looks from the other party-goers.

Later, I received texts from several mutual friends who scolded me for PDA and how Becky was so upset that I had made her party look "tacky" and that I was rubbing it in her face that she was a widow. I was so shocked and hurt to hear this and mentioned that every other couple at the event was also being relatively affectionate and that despite my husband and I not being ones to commit PDA in public, I had given him a side hug and a peck kiss, and that was all. Anyways, I am at a loss at what I should do. I feel like I hurt a close friend but I'm not sure how and what I can do to fix it. Reddit help! AITA???

AITA for asking my sister to contribute half the expenses of maintaining my mom's house?

My mother only has one asset, Her house. She doesn't have enough savings to bank roll her retirement. My wife and I pay for it. My wife is a doctor, so she makes great money and we can afford to take care of her. We have been sending her about 2K a month for 5 years now, we also take care of any incidental/ Emergency expenses. we have also all major house repairs and I have never asked for my sister to contribute as she is not as well off as we are.

My mom wanted to get her finances in order and she asked me to help. She talked about wanting to get her will written. She said she wanted to give the house to my sister. She has no other asset of note and it would mean than my sister gets almost 90% of her assets. I have always know that mom would skew the inheritance more towards her and I didn't mind that. I thought I could my sister by helping her. my sister needs it more and we are already doing so well.

I am really upset by this. I know it is greedy to be focused on the house but It makes me feel horrible. I am the one who is always with her when she is sick and she practically cuts me off the will. My sister isn't struggling herself. She is comfortably middle class, if she was really struggling I would have understood it.

This was about a month ago, The house needs some repairs again and my mom asked me to pay for it. I called my sister and told her that I want her to contribute for half the expenses. I know it is petty but I don't get why I should pay for a house which I will never get.

She talked to mom and she is upset with me for asking my sister for money and she thinks it is very petty and greedy of me to ask for money from someone who doesn't make as much as we do when we could afford it.

I do feel like an rear end in a top hat, I can understand why she is doing it and if I think about it rationally. I can see why she would want to give the house to my sister but I still feel horrible about it. She also feels that I a being a horrible sister by forcing her to pay for stuff and just dropping it on her head.

Comments by OP

My mother told me she talked about the house with her [OP's sister] when we were discussing the will.

My wife doesn't care that we are supporting my mother. She has talked about giving more money a lot but I have shot it down. You are reaching a lot in your comment but considering you are an anti-vaxxer, I understand you are used to talking out of your rear end. Also her wife not his wife.

My mom won't sell the house for sentimental reasons. It is in a good area and she could sell it for 1-1.2 million and they buy something smaller but still nicer for 600K and live off the rest. I have suggested this to her but she doesn't want to do it.My wife's parents disowned her when she came out so, they aren't in the picture.

Yeah, I think we were fine paying for it. The strange thing is that my sister has never lived in that house. Dad bought it when I was 15, My sister had gone to college by then. The house is the last thing my dad did before he passed away. I understand why mom wants to hold on to it but it makes sense to sell it now. I really need to have a conversation with both of them to sort this out.

Update

I was feeling a massive amount of guilt for my actions but most commenters supported me. I talked to my mother about how much money we have spent on her and how much more we were planning to spend on her. She didn't budge at all. I was incredibly frustrated and we ended up having a yelling match. She said she wanted her money to go to her real grandchildren and not to our children, who are adopted. It broke my heart. My children adore their grandma.

They think the world of her. I have never noticed any favoritism in her behavior either. She always doted on them. I don't know where this is coming from. She then explained that the house was my father's hard earned money and she couldn't really give that money to people he didn't approve of. She told me he would have wanted to this money to go to my sister and her biological children not to children who didn't even look like him. I don't understand how she could pretend to love my children for a decade! I was fooled by it. Everyone was fooled by it. I can't even process it.

We have stopped funding her retirement. She will have to sell the house. I talked to my sister, She cried when I told her what my mother had told me. She said she would handle buying our mother a new home. I haven't visited her in a month and I am not planning to visit for a long time.

ETA : Thank you for the kind comments. Yes, My wife did say it could be dementia. my sister is planning on getting her a wellness check soon. I am trying not to think about it.

Those who live in glass houses...wait a minute...
