Invisible Clergy posted:AITA for telling and orphan they will never understand the pain of losing a parent? I'm not going to blame her for saying a lovely thing while grieving. She should probably apologize and find some way to never interact with that person again. She deserves an apology from her coworker trying to be her boss but I doubt that would happen. The capitalist hell world stuff in there about breaks is depressing as hell.

Mx. posted:AITA for wanting to bring my girlfriend as a date to my sister's wedding instead of one of the groomsmen? I'm betting the sister and her fiancé are ostensibly fine with the gays but his family is "old fashioned," so the OP's just going to have to pretend to be straight to avoid embarrassing her sister in front of her new in-laws. I wonder if the other dude is gay too since it sounds like they're the only people who weren't given a plus one.

AITA for not giving my sister my baby?quote:My (f22) sister (f33) is infertile and desperately wants a baby. I recently became pregnant with my boyfriends (m23) child. This was very shocking as I am on birth Control and we also use protection often because I don’t want children and am paranoid about getting pregnant. I didn’t tell my sister about my pregnancy because I didn’t want to upset her. My boyfriend and I decided I’ll have the baby and give it up for adoption. We found a couple through the adoption agency that We really liked and decided to give them our child.

AITA for asking for more child support?quote:I (31 f) have a 10 year old child with my ex, (40 m) several years ago we had parenting time and support established as week on week off with him paying $11.00 a month in child support. Right after the order was established, he called me and said he no longer wanted to do week on week off, he wanted me to take our child full time with him getting the child every other weekend only. For years he's been paying $11.00 a month in child support but not having the child more than every other weekend but he has told me if I need anything at all for the child to just ask and he'd help out. However, every time I've asked he's told me "sorry I can't right now". I've tried being nice, I've even offered extra days or weekends with his child and he has refused, even getting mad sometimes. Recently the court sent me paperwork stating I was allowed to request a review of the support order, so I requested one. He just received the notice in the mail that the court is launching an investigation into the matter. He called me furious, stating $11.00 is plenty considering I claim him on my taxes every year and he reminded me he offered to help out when I need it. It's true that I claim him on my taxes every year, but I think it's fair considering i am the person who takes care of our child the most. But now I'm wondering if I went too far and if the ..11.. a month really is enough. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

therobit posted:Unless Grandma was totally senile when she made the last will, which would be strange because the notary isn’t supposed to stamp anything unless the person is with it enough to know what they are signing, what is written matters a lot more than what they say. My grandfather promised to will the farm to several different people but in the end it was split between his kids because that’s what the will said. Also if they want to argue she was too senile to know what she was doing, then why would her telling them verbally that they could have the house be any mor valid than a written document? All really good arguments. That will probably be made, very expensively, in court.

Just the other day I was wondering, “How do I piss my wife off enough that I will be hearing about it for as long as I’m married to her?” AITA for upgrading to a business class ticket while my wife sits in economy quote:So I (m25) and my wife (f24) are going to the United States from Japan for a month for vacation, and when we booked the tickets, we initially thought that we were going to be sitting next to each other, but I had the option to upgrade my seat to business with miles and I did. Well, my wife is not too happy about that because she wanted to sit together on the 12 hour flight, but it’s overnight so we’re gonna be sleeping the whole flight so I didn’t think it mattered. I told her that and she got upset because she thinks I chose business class over her and that’s rude apparently. I said to her that she’s just jealous (in a teasing joking way) and she got upset and told me to ask the airline to see if I can switch my seat back to economy. I said hell no because I’m not going to miss my opportunity to sit in business class (which looks amazing btw, look up “ANA the room”). In my eyes, it’s just a 12 hour flight and it doesn’t matter if I sit next to my wife or not. If it’s really bad though I still have a week before my flight to maybe get it changed. AITA?

Peaceful Anarchy posted:They had 50/50 custody. The payment reflects the official custody agreement, not the later child abandonment. Yeah, my cousin has 50/50 custody and just alternate weeks in the same part of town so that neither he nor his ex-wife have to pay support. Of course, his ex-wife keeps quitting jobs and he is actually trying to build a career so if she figures out she can take him back to court because he makes more now it might be trouble down the road.

Brawnfire posted:How the gently caress does anyone reach the conclusion this is okay lol My partner and I used to travel overseas yearly because her worked paid for her to go. They pay for her to fly business class but I'm on my own for tickets. She flies up there and enjoys a sleep while I'm quite happy booking any economy seat that gets me a bit of leg room and reading a book. This is discussed well in advance though and gets me a very cheap month holiday every year so it works. This is moot now because lol at the idea of sitting in a covid chamber for the length of time it takes to fly anywhere from here.

DemoneeHo posted:AITA For not punishing my autistic son when he asks people if they want him lie? Tact is a skill and it's one this dad has neglected to teach. Kid needs to learn how and when to be blunt. Honesty is a positive trait but that has to be balanced vs upsetting people for no reason. This is something I had to learn myself. I use a set of metrics like: -Does my opinion actually matter to the person I'm taking to? -Does the thing in question actually matter? Are there actual consequences on the line? -If they get upset at my opinion will I want to try and take it back? Is my opinion important enough to upset people over? -Is there anything that can be done one way or another? -Would I feel better having shared my honest opinion, or would I feel better from having backed people up and supported them? -Is there an obvious truth that is being intentionally overlooked out of politeness? Someone shows you their newborn baby. There were complications and it's seriously kind of messed-up looking. Should you be honest? No You liking the baby's appearance or not is irrelevant, it's not even your baby Nobody had or has any control over how the baby looks, and if they did, this was probably the best they could do Are you a pediatric plastic surgeon? No? You can't help, shut up The parents know the baby looks funny no one gains anything by you saying it You could have backed up your friends and made them feel a tiny bit better about a bad situation but instead you upset them, for no benefit to anyone

Also the alternative isn't "lying", it's "find something positive that you can truthfully say". "What do you think of baby Pnurtis?" "I love his clear blue eyes! And such a big boy too!"

Honesty is a positive trait but that has to be balanced vs upsetting people for no reason. Broadly true, but in the specific scenario mentioned, the son was entirely right to share his honest opinion, that is an absolutely awful name with which no child deserves to be saddled. I’d have to see some other examples of his brutal honesty before definitively declaring him as lacking tact.

How do I kindly tell my Boyfriend that he needs to educate himself on some topics before talking about themquote:Hi! So like the title says, I (20F) have been in a relationship for about a month, and we had a discussion about birth control. I have the nexaplanon and ( obviously) I can’t control when i menstruate and I was telling my bf(29M) about it. He said if i changed my diet i would be able to control when i started my period……… He also said some ignorant stuff around the topic of food and sex, and I said that sounds like a yeast infection waiting to happen and he said oh i’m a hygienic person you don’t have to worry. …. How do i kindly say that if he doesn’t know anything about the topic or knows little to none about it, he should educate himself, maybe say he doesn’t know the topic that well, or shut the gently caress up. Like I want him to be educated on this, and I understand that sex education lacks in the US, however I really don’t want to be continuously teaching him about the female anatomy. lol

Like it almost always is, but that'll get super deep in the weeds of how social hierarchies work, so I shall pass. The name's ridiculous, and the kid's being set up to do a power play between the parents, as can be seen from the brother's insistence on punishment. You're going to ask an autistic kid a question like that? You're looking to get offended and will find a reason. Morton's fork, all options end up at "how horrible YOUR child is".
