Motronic posted:Yeah......this all depends on what kind of parents they have. Don't get me wrong, teenagers are by-brain-chemistry gonna be idiots about some things. That can't be helped by anything other than time. But the "not having chores" when the definition of those are "knowing how to and that you NEDD TO do things that won't end you up in this thread" shouldn't be a high bar. My nephew and niece have super indulgent parents, ones that, even at age 17 and 15, don't bring their dishes to the kitchen (they'll make their own breakfasts and leave everything on the stove or table or counters), clean up their rooms, or, well, have any real chores to do. A few years ago I house/kidsat over the winter break, and they were aghast that I assigned chores: one of you is responsible for picking up the dog poop, one is responsible for unloading the dishwasher. Parents come back in town and were very impressed I had them doing chores. And the second I left, the parents went back to doing everything for them. I am prepared to see threads about them in the next few years. AITA for marrying my father's ex? quote:This may be a bit of an odd one for some. My dad has never liked women his own age. Once he divorced my mom he's been chasing women all over. And he's gotten plastic surgery, so he easily looks a lot younger than he is. Every woman he dates is between the ages of 18 to 25. And the longest he seemed to date any of them was two years. Well a couple years ago he was dating a wonderful redhead with glasses I'll call Suzan for this post. One can describe her as a really cute and sexy girl next door type. She's really smart and I adore her. Well two years ago I was 21 and she was 24. We met when my dad showed her off as his most current squeeze. I say "Squeeze" because that's a word he liked to use for it.

mind the walrus posted:The kid's bitching about not getting a PC for Xmas and his family has enough funds to at least get a front for a hotel, and if they're in the US some expensive medical treatment. He presumably has a smartphone or laptop, and barring that some basic books. Like yeah it sucks but a hotel's gonna have places he can chill and read/write and generally do poo poo without being tied to his stressed-out parents and let his sibling get the attention. Certainly not ideal, definitely lonely, but like... if that's your idea of "bad" then you have it really loving good. There's also the fact a specialist hospital is likely to be in a major city. Why not spend some time exploring this far away city he's never been to?

Cowslips Warren posted:WIBTA if I leave my husbands affair baby with my MIL while the rest of us go on vacation This woman! Wow.... AITA for not inviting my husband’s mistress and her child to my daughters party quote:I (f37) and my husband, George (m58) have been married for 16 years and dated for 19 . We have 3 children (f17,Sarah m12, Joey and f6, Izzy ). Seven years ago around the time when my youngest was conceived my husband began an affair with one of his college students , Leah (f25) as a result she became pregnant . I was heartbroken and planned on divorcing George but than I found out I was pregnant with Izzy . We went to therapy he took accountability and ended with Leah . My youngest and Leah’s kid (Chris) are only a couple weeks apart therefore are in the same grade . To my dismay George wanted to be in Chris’s life so I knew that him and Izzy had the same teacher this year. I tried to get the classes changed but the school didn’t allow it,I thought of changing schools but my oldest is a senior and is desperate to graduate with her friends so I decided to suck it up . Chris and Izzy became close friends and even began to see each other as siblings which sucks because when my husband decided to be apart of that child’s life I made sure that the homewrecker’s child and my children stayed away from each other . Izzy’s birthday is coming up and we are planning this huge winter theme birthday she came up with a list of friends she wants invited and Leah’s child is on that list . I refused to allow that thing’s child to be at my daughters party George’s Argued that he’s izzy’s brother and that he shouldn’t be excluded but I disagree, his existences almost caused me my marriage ,His mother called me and said that I shouldn’t take my anger out on both children’s happiness , I called her a whore and blocked her .

They don't suck, they're teenagers. They're supposed to push boundaries and figure themselves out. It's when they don't have the proper help to learn from poo poo that they will one day end up in a thread like this. There's not much I can do when I don't see them much, and their parents don't teach them. poo poo, nephew once stole $100, and they only told him not to do it again. quote:AITA for not inviting my husband’s mistress and her child to my daughters party Goddamn. I always love the sheer hatred for the out-of-wedlock/cheat child and so little anger for the husband/cheater. Game of Thrones was spot-on about that at least. AITA for not wanting to say vows at my dad's wedding? quote:My dad is getting married in a few months. His future wife has kids a lot younger than me (16 vs 5 and 4). They thought it would be a great idea for us to have sibling vows during their wedding but I don't want to do that. They essentially want us to swear that we'll be siblings always. And that's not something I am looking at them as. I don't love them now. And I can't promise to always love them if I don't to begin with. I also feel really weird with this pressure on me but they already ran it by the pastor and stuff. I said no. I told them they couldn't make me do them. They're mad and accusing me of being cruel to her kids and how I'm going to make things harder on us being a family. My parents divorced when I was older, and I didn't have any contact with my stepbrothers until we were all adults. "Sibling vows" is something new?

From a different subreddit, Malicious Complaince (which has been watered down with people just bitching about work/bosses), comes a surprise entry; "I'll cut down your hours so you'll be forced to quit." "Yes, please!" quote:This happened almost ten years ago. I was teaching I.T. in a professional school and was getting near two years of employment. In my country, at the time, once you completed one year at a company you had the right to take one month of paid vacations, but the employer could held it till right before your second mandatory vacation period came along. So the school had no choice but arrange everything for my leave of absense. The rest of the post is unremarkable, but Gee, I wonder why they wanted you gone?

AITA for giving the PS5 my Husband bought to my Nephew?quote:I am a 35 year old woman and my husband is 37, I discovered the other day he had bought a PS5 as a gift for himself, but the thing is he used my money to do so without my permission using a portion of my emergency savings that he had access to in case of you know, an emergency. Which I do not believe being able to get your hands on a new video game console classes as.

I'm sympathetic to the 15 year that doesn't want to spend 2 weeks in a hotel with his family. I spent 3 weeks with my family in a nice hotel in a strange city when I was 16. It suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. This was pre-smartphone, but there was a pool and a legitimate breakfast every morning and I've never been so out of my mind with boredom. There wasn't anything near the hotel and I didn't have any money if there had been. My parents were busy and had other stuff on their minds, me and my siblings just went stir-crazy. At that age you can't drive yourself anywhere and being in a strange city means your friends can't help either. It's not unreasonable for the kid to be asked to come, but the parents should really see if there is someone else he could stay with. He can't help much if at all and they're just going to get pissed at him for being annoying while his sister is hurt. They're going to be basically ignoring him anyways to prioritize his sister.

I don't remember her but apologised because I was a bitch back then but she wanted a more heartfelt and specific apology, so I asked her what specifically she wanted me to apologise for, and the specifics don't make sense IMO but unless I apologise for them, I can't come to family Christmas.

It sounds like they both had a lot of personal stuff going on and Jess just noticed OP a lot more than OP noticed her and got into a cycle of comparing herself negatively to OP. Like OP probably was a raging rear end in a top hat to Jess sometimes but it sounds like she was a raging rear end in a top hat to everyone? I don't even know what she can do about it, like, idk if it would come off as blame dodging for OP to go 'I was never involved with that guy, and I'm really sorry you were struggling with an ED, I was struggling with one myself.' Like the thing is memory is a lot more subjective than people think and it's very possible OP made some heinous comments about Jess that hit right in her weak spot she genuinely doesn't remember making.

She's not a regular person to Jess, she's The Rival. And you can't trust anything The Rival says! She's just doing this to ruin the protagonist, Jess!

Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for not wanting to waste my winter break to go somewhere with my sister? Just to offer a counterpoint, I was an eastern block kid who moved to the US when I was 8 years old. Like many people in my situation, my parents "amicably" separated when I was 12 and by the time I was 15 my artistic father moved in with the people with whom he felt at home. In retrospect I'm pissed I didn't try to claim the home and my father just got it and sold it when I went to college. Whatever, I'm not bitter. Anyway. Single 15 year old living alone in a small suburban home. Did I make stupid mistakes? Sure but folks on reddit are 25 making the same mistakes I did so point one for real experience and point zero for neurodevelopment. Your mettle isn't tested until it has been tempered.
