AITA for pacifying my little niece in a "strange"/unnatural way when her mom doesn't like how i do it?

quote:

so i have autism and i cannot stand the sound of crying babies, not only is it grating to my ears but i feel like i have to do everything i can to help the baby feel better. i feel so bad about it and i gotta make the baby happy somehow; except i am REALLY bad at interacting with children and have no idea how to act around them normally. anyway, earlier i woke up to the sound of my little niece screaming because she accidentally hurt her arm and she wouldn't let anyone put a bandaid on it bc she was scared. which fair, i get it, it's scary.

i decided that i wanted to somehow get her to stop screaming though bc it was loud so i walked up to her and she immediately stopped screaming out of confusion (lol) bc i rarely ever leave my room, and i got down to her level and just stared at her. of course i tried to look nice by smiling but i straight up didn't know what to say so i just stared. she stared back and i went "hey, its ok. stop crying." and left back to my room when she just kept staring at me silently (she doesnt talk yet), which i guess is a win if she stopped crying.

apparently that was weird to her mom and she told me to be more normal about it. i told her that if it worked it worked, but she still didn't like it cause it was freaky apparently. which i kind of get but i'm 4'10" with dorky rear end glasses i don't think i'm that scary, i'm just socially awkward. maybe she's just worried that her kid will pick up on the habit and while it sounds funny it probably isn't good. kinda feel bad about it so idk if i'm gonna do that again either way but i'm curious

Hi Tumblr, this is pretty embarrassing to ask, but, am I the rear end in a top hat for forgiving my friend?

quote:

I (20, F) have this big friend group (9 people including me, ages ranging from 19-21) which has been going through a lot of drama recently. So, I recently found out that one of my closest friends (19, NB) in the group had been the source of all of the drama. They apparently wanted to, "Spice up the friend group," and "Make it as fun as it was in High School." And, I was not part of the friend group when the five of them were in High School. In fact, I am technically the newest addition to the friend group. So, it was intimidating to me when someone who is so new to me--yet I am super close with; cried in front of me, begging me to not expose that they caused most of the drama.

I feel a bit overwhelmed because if I forgive them and keep their secret I am betraying the rest of the friend group (Provided they inevitably find out) but if I tell the friend group I lose a great friend who I have told my deepest secrets to and if that were to happen she'll be exiled from the friend group--and I do not wish for them to hate me nor do I wish any harm for them.

But, I, fundamentally, forgive them and will keep their secret, despite the fact that they caused so much distrust in the friend group. Am I the rear end in a top hat for forgiving an rear end in a top hat?

ApplesandOranges: Jun 22, 2012; Thankee kindly.

The 'this person keeps copying me'... with a different twist!

AITA for letting my brother copy me?

quote:

Throwaway account because I don't use reddit that much and if this blows up I don't want this connected to my online username.

I (F18) have a little brother (M15) that has copied everything I do throughout my entire life. If my favorite color was blue, his suddenly would be too. If I grew my hair out long, he let his grow too. If I learned a new instrument, he had to too. I couldn't be an individual and I hated it. What made it worse was that my family would often chose him over me, because he was a smaller and cuter version of myself. It really hurt, and it's contributed to my low self esteem and I still fear to this day that when people meet my brother they will eventually leave me for him. Call me selfish, but it hurts. Whenever I brought this up to my mother, she would blow me off and just said that "it's what siblings do".

During my freshman year, I came out as a lesbian. I've never liked boys and often found myself having little crushes on girls in my class when I was in elementary school the way that girls would have little crushes on boys. Finally finding a label that described me was freeing and I was (and still am) proud and out to everyone I knew. My brother, following my lead, decided to come out as bisexual the following week.

Once my mother found out about this she became angry and pulled me aside. She told me that I knew that my brother copies everything I do and that I need to "tone it down" so I don't confuse him. Now, I already don't bring up my sexuality often because my father is homophobic and did not accept me for being a lesbian, but this grinded my gears. Throughout my entire life, it was ok for him to copy me even at the expense of my own mental health, but now that he copied something that SHE doesn't want him to be, copying suddenly isn't just "something that siblings do?"

Regardless of this situation, I think it's important to explore your sexuality before confirming it and I would support him whether it was just another copying phase or something genuine. I told her this and now she's upset with me for turning her son gay. This was not my intention at all. I just wanted to be out and proud and now it's turned my own mother against me.

So, AITA?

Also, today in: 'misery loves company'.

AITA for having my own life and a schedule which caused my wife to gain weight?

quote:

My wife and I are both working, we both own our own businesses. I work from home, every day from morning until late afternoon, about the same amount of hours as people with a normal 9to5 job. During my working day I do most of the household (cooking, dishes, cleaning, laundry, groceries) as I like to multitask why am doing phone calls with my employees. I compete in powerlifting, that's why I work out 4 times per weeks + cardio most mornings. This schedule of working + household + 5 meals + workouts means that I am very busy on 2 or 3 of the weekdays.

My wife works 2, max. 3 days per week. She likes to spend her free time watching TV, scrolling social media, playing games and sometimes meets with her girlfriends for coffee or lunch.

Recently my wife has been increasingly frustrated about how I spent my time and the way I eat.

She says I spend too much time in the gym, she acts like this was something new and something I haven't been doing in the 7 years we dated before getting married. She doesn't like to do sports and refuses to join me at the gym. Which I accept and never have been pushy about, although it would make me very happy. Regarding this I have to mention that I spend approx. 2-3 nights during the weekend and almost every weekend completely with her. Also I take time to travel with her, just this year I took her to Germany, Turkey, Croatia, France and Bali.

Furthermore, she is upset that I, except for the occasional cheat meal on the weekend, eat healthy most of the time and therefore she "cannot" eat dinner with me. Also she is upset that I eat breakfast without her, the reason for that being is that I wake up earlier than her and have to eat before I start working. I offered to align our dinner times. So that we eat our dinners at the same time, but that is not enough for her. She insists on me eating the same thing as her, as she refuses to eat my food and also refuses to cook something she does not like. She is also saying that I am at fault for her gaining a lot of weight in the last months (no complains about that, she is so beautiful), since me eating diet food forced her to order fast food every evening because she doesn't know how to cook only one portion.

So, long story short, am I the rear end in a top hat for having my own life and indirectly causing my wife to gain weight?

Three Olives is on probation for the next twenty hours. During that time he can decide if he wants to continue being an rear end in a top hat, though I don't see how he'd choose not to considering he was gone for three years and it didn't do a goddam thing. He can also decide whether or not he wants to answer my questions. Otherwise he'll just get a sixer literally every time he posts in this thread.

Being that he's gone for a little under a day I think we can all stop posting about him and save our material for when he inevitably Kramers back in to announce that he empties his golden chamberpot off his balcony onto anyone that looks like they might receive government assistance.

I had a small group of people I�m still friends with I went through elementary/middle school/high school with. There were plenty of times we got bullied (we got mocked constantly for doing tai kwan do at an elementary school talent show, made fun of for playing Pok�mon, in middle school we had to split up cause of the districts and three of us sat together for all three years and the preppy kids would do �hilarious� stuff like have a special needs kid come ask us if we wanted to be his boyfriend) but by the time we got to later in high school we all played sports and smoked weed and had parties with other uncool social groups. And despite still being huge nerds way before it was considered normal we all had a great time in high school. I have no desire to ever revisit it, but not having any responsibilities and loving around with your friends isn�t the worst thing life has to offer.

I realize you qualified that with �a lot� and back in the 90�s/00�s at least I was aware the bullying could�ve been worse. A lot of the dickheads I grew up with are alcoholic townies or dead now, so take that people who still talk about their cool highschool days

quote:

I tried to join her hobbies. Once per week she goes to pottery class so to spend more quality time (and maybe motivate her to join my hobbies sometimes too) I offered to join her pottery class. In the beginning she was very happy but that quickly turned around because it turns out that I actually had a talent for pottery and could make great stuff right from the start which even she couldn't do after already going to that class for a year. Then she got frustrated and stopped going...

I fully agree with you. This victim attitude is seriously exhausting. It sometimes turns into paranoia with her getting angry towards strangers on the street because their glance accidentally met hers and she thinks that they were looking at her.

I wish she would be open for us to cook together. She says annoy her when I am in the kitchen with her because I always try to cook clean by immediately putting everything I am done with in the dishwasher, cleaning up any spills I make and throwing away everything packaging, paper towels etc. away immediately. Her cooking style usually includes making a huge mess. I don't complain about it because I find it somewhat cathartic to clean the kitchen after her while listening to a podcast or something but she says that she feels judged or guilty because of my tidiness.

WIBTA if I told my sisters teenager that their bio dad abandoned them?

quote:

My sister�s teenager (17) I�ll call them �H� is one of the sweetest kind hearted people you will meet. Recently they have been in contact with their bio dad (J) and has taken solace at their bio dads house.

My sister never tried to keep H away from J when they were a baby, toddler, etc. J was more worried about just being a waste and spreading his seed to any woman who would take it. My sister always gave open communication when it came to H to J but he was always interested in getting back with my sister rather than care for his child and my sister very much didn�t want that.

After 6 months of not taking responsibility or even acknowledging your child in my state you have legally abandoned your child. This happened when H was probably a toddler, maybe preschool age. My sister dropped child support because she knew she was never going to get it and it was just a lot of meaningless court. Again she never kept H away or hid H but J just didn�t care. My sister also never spoke ill of J to H because she�s just that kind of person and she knows that�s just not right. Fast forward yeaaars later to the past couple of months. H wanted to be in contact with J. I�ll be honest I don�t know too many details pertaining to this so I can�t say much.

But theyve been talking and H would spend some weekends there. My problem is that I�m afraid J is lying and in turn manipulating H. I found out through grapevine J told H that he tried to go for custody at some point but my sister didn�t have a listed address. A COMPLETE lie. H just basically �ran away� to their bio dad and when I talked with H they said J and them talked to an officer and the cop said their wouldn�t be a problem. But that would suggest that J didn�t mention how he has no rights to H due to the abandonment.

If H is safe I don�t care they are with J. I hope he is actually doing right by at least one of his (many) children. But there are now at least 2 instances I know about where J is lying or at the very least misleading H. I want them to know the truth about the abandonment and how I saw first hand how J just didn�t care back then. Just warned them to be wary of certain things J says and such. I know it�s a touchy subject and not really my place but my sister certainly isn�t going to say anything. I want H to be happy and I�m not trying to ruin whatever relationship J and H formed but I just don�t want them being deceived. WIBTA if I talked with H about this?

re: marathon lady

As someone who occasionally runs for exercise (usually a 5k three times a week when I do, followed by months if not years at a time where I am too lazy for that), I agree that 1) it's hella disingenuous for her to claim she ran a marathon and 2) it's... not something to brag about over a yearly period.

Running a wholeass marathon is hard and it's a genuine feat! I have a friend who's run marathons and he's way more fit and cool than me, for instance, and I can't imagine claiming I've run one when I haven't. I don't think I will ever run one. Maybe I could with lots of training and willpower, and I definitely do not have the willpower. A lot of people can barely run one mile, nevermind 26 in a row!

For me, I went from struggling to run a mile in gym class to doing the couch25k in a summer and learning that it is, in fact, possible for me to run thirty minutes straight! Personally had the SiL just talked about something like that I think it would still have been impressive without lying to herself and everyone around her.

Hello person who exercises like me.

Yeah I run a few 5ks a week at a decent pace and wouldn't call myself a runner. I think the most I've gone in one go was 7 miles and that killed me. I cannot comprehend doing 4x that in one go lmao

lmao in what way did he "cause" her to gain weight. Also how the hell do you not know how to cook one portion. You just cook less of the thing you were going to make. Or you make more and have leftovers. Like yes, cooking for one person is a pain in the rear end but it's not rocket science. OP can date me if they want, I would be happy to go powerlift and eat the healthy food.

On the subject of marathon-in-a-year lady, I agree that she's a dumbass but like also, who cares. Just let her do her thing, it's good that she's exercising at all. I used to run like a marathon a week if we're going by total accumulated mileage (now trying to work back up to anywhere near that after getting COVID in April) and I don't care if she wants to brag about her marathon in a year.

Here's one where the lead is buried under one of those "THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR" warning obelisks.

AITA for not wanting to give up my bedroom for my sister, because she's coming back to stay with us?

quote:

I (f17) have 2 stepsisters Amy (f21) and Bella (f16). Our house has 3 bedrooms and an office type room. We used to share rooms when we were younger but Amy moved out for college a few years ago, so me and Bella got our own.

Amy dropped out of college and is coming to stay with us. That's fine, but the issue is that my parents are expecting me to move out to Bella's room (or she comes to mine) so they can give the spare to Amy.

I said I didn't want to because I need my own space. Sharing rooms when we were kids was okay but we're not anymore. There is a solution to this, there's a sleeper sofa in the office room that can comfortably fit one person. Amy could stay there, or she and Bella could stay together, but parents are saying she needs her own room.

We had a big argument over this, I sort of snapped, said I can clearly see who the favorite is and that they don't care about me, and mom said I was being selfish. I don't think they're being fair here and we're not really talking to each other right now. My friend told me to post here, so AITA?

Edit: for people asking why don't we turn the office into a bedroom, it's because it's pretty small and would fit a narrow bed. I did bring this up with my parents but they don't want Amy to sleep there. Also Amy dropped out of college because she's sick and said she's too tired to study/work

Pretty straightforward, right? Golden child comes home and gets white glove treatment while scapegoat gets told to suck it. OP is clearly not the AH. Except...in comments it is revealed that the reason the sister left college to come home is that she is tired and sick all the time from leukemia.

There is an entire discussion to be had about SSDI benefits, but marriage and especially cohabitating absolutely reduces living expenses by A LOT. Massive government programs are complicated but I'm pretty sure this whole prevision was designed so if you are both living on survival income in 1 bedroom apartments and move in together in a 1 bedroom apartment you don't get to use the extra money to buy an Playstation. SSDI is not earned income, it's money so you don't you (hopefully) end up on the streets. Like, your social security benefit doesn't decrease because you get married, you earned it by paying into it, SSDI is what you need, regardless of what you have paid, to not live under a bridge eating cat food.

it's a better idea to take out 1/3 of your shared life savings for a yoga studio and buy an playstation with the money you make from your first 6 months of classes

There's no guarantee the guy is ripped. He's a powerlifter, so he might just be really strong and fart a lot. I'm still working out why this has made her fat, but I'll get there

AITA for telling my friend that her niece�s name is really bad

quote:

I want to start this off by saying that I think I�m probably in the wrong here. One of my (22f) best friends (29f) was showing me pictures of her niece (3f). We had both been drinking and this was the first time she ever said her entire first name. Up until this point, I had only heard her nickname used before. The name is shockingly bad and I laughed out loud at it. My friend asked why that was funny and then I realized that she was not only serious but also really liked the name. When we were both sober, she again brought it up and said she wanted her child to have the same name. She isn�t pregnant but I still gave my two cents on it and told her that the name isn�t just bad, it�s almost laughable. She got really upset and said that it was a beautiful name and felt disrespected that I was acting so hostile. I guess I could have been nicer about it but I still think it needed to be said. So, am I the rear end in a top hat?

Edit: I did some quick google searches and realized that it would be very hard to track down this child as her name is a word in the English language. Her name is Iridescent Love.
