AreWeDrunkYet posted:Or a car is a small enough purchase for them that any sympathy is a waste of time when the scale of their petty conflict is life changing for most people. It definitely trends that way, but if a car is such a trivial thing that you think you need to buy another one, why do you expect the husband to do it instead of just buying one on your own? It edges into ESH territory just for the fact that neither of them are talking to each other enough to understand what they're buying for their children on their birthdays, but the OP is absolutely the greater rear end in a top hat for her wild assumptions and not remotely understanding the difference between "18 year old with disability" and "16 year old with a hot-off-the-press license".

AITA for taking the money I had for my sister's party so I can replace the iPad she stole?quote:My(17F) sister(15F) has the habit of takings things from my bedroom and keep them or lose them. My father has talked to her, ground her, make her pay them back but she just doesn't listen, my mom always takes her side and makes excuses for her. M dad had enough so he bough me an small safe (against my mom's wishes) and I keep some jewelry, make-up, my diary and gifts from my boyfriend (19M) Caleb.

I would also argue that the 16yo is a bit of a sook. Storming off and sulking in his bedroom coz he didn't get a car. *puts on old man voice* When I was his age I'd have been thrilled to get a brand new gaming console for my 16th birthday. And to expect to be gifted a car when you are still a teenager reeks to me of *old man voice intensifies* the entitlement of the youth of today

Depending on the state he may not even be able to get his real license for a few months/a year. I get him feeling like poo poo because his mom set him up to. When I was 16 if my mom had hinted that I would be getting a car I wouldn’t been an insufferable little shut about it. I put it 98% on his mom and 2% on the step dad for never, like, talking to his wife at all about a several hundred dollar purchase of a gift for her son.

I mean, a console is a great present, but I figured that was the difference between getting a console for your birthday, and getting a console for your birthday after you've essentially been told you're getting a car.

Its especially weird because she claims no one else knew the password and she came up with an essentially random one (birthday of an anime character when she doesn't give a poo poo about anime so no one was likely to guess it). I would assume there's some master key or override depending on the model and mom has it.

And, again, was set up for this expectation by mom. Zore posted:I would assume there's some master key or override depending on the model and mom has it.

Cars, like pets, shouldn’t be surprises, for very similar reasons, because they require care and upkeep, and they need to fit into the life of the recipient. As such, it should be a conversation. That way, everyone’s on the same page and on board with what’s going down. So dad’s an rear end for not communicating, OP’s an rear end for baselessly leading 16YO on, and 16YO is kind of an rear end for pouting over a pretty generous gift, but at least has the excuse of being that bubbling vat of emotions and hormones known as a teenager. I’d say the real potential problem is two years from now, should dad try to rationalize not buying the kid a car. Dad gave a whole host of reasons to buy the older kid a car, and most of them will ring true for the younger kid too, excepting the disability. And since dad hasn’t just said “Well, this is something we can revisit in two years when your situations are more alike,” I feel like he’s really gearing up for that.

AITA for telling my daughter to rush her art project quote:My (47M) autistic daughter (F17) used to be good in all her classes when she was in grade 8 to the point where her grammar tutor suspected that she might have been gifted. We never got her tested since she would go on to IB in high school. Recently, in grade 11, she was struggling a lot in her classes. We got her tutors for math, chemistry, and French since she was struggling in all of them, and she needs her math credit for the uni program she wants to after graduating.

While normally I'm pretty pro-acid vat, A 16 year old kid who is hormonal and upset leaving to sulk in his room is definitely a healthier reaction then going to the party and being depressed around everyone else. Even if it's noticeable it's better to extricate yourself and feel your emotions in private then blare them like a siren at a party that's all about you.

I was supremely bored in high school, but I would have burned out as quickly in high as I did in college if was given a harder curriculum. At least I was able to graduate high school easily instead of failing like I did in college.

Akratic Method posted:International baccalaureate (https://www.ibo.org/) They're a bit like AP classes in that they're a way to get college credit while still in high school, but more rare in the U.S. They also trend towards wanting the student to take the classes on as part of an overall IB program (where critical thinking skills are emphasized across all classes), rather than the a la carte model of AP classes. So the daughter is getting her butt kicked a bit by ramping up her classes and her mom is handling the fallout poorly. The parents are doing the Good Parent™ moves of therapy and tutoring, but the mom doesn't really understand burnout and is trying to micromanage her daughter back to success. With the kicker of saying that the daughter joining an advanced program is one of her biggest regrets.

My experience with IB was that it was just an extra set of workload ontop of the normal HS stuff. It's only in effect one big essay for the student while making sure you're taking a bunch of classes you where gonna take anyways (the syllabus is mostly for faculty to figure out). That was several decades ago however. Seemed like a cool opt-in foreign thing when I did it, compared to the other opt-in foreign thing which was the study-for-the-exam-not-the-knowedge and pay-to-win approach SATs seemed to have. edit: to be ontopic, acid vat that lady, but unless you're specifically trying to use the IB to enter uni then differentiating between IB and non-IB-adapted HS courses is dumb as hell.

Significant other is a physician and we have a friend who almost exactly matches OPs roommates (not wealthy single mom med student with little extended family support) so that really boiled my blood for a sec. It’s thankfully probably not real because it would be step 2 exam and it’s way way too late in my understanding for a 4th year to be taking step 2 around this time.
