OP really buried the lede with this one

[crumbwinner]

my (40F) husband (48,000M) demolished south chicago and also our son (he’s ok now). he fled the planet, and i just recently found out that he had a child with a purple bug who is now deceased. my husband is on death row so this purple baby is sitting in my living room and my son is hopeful i’ll help look after his half-brother. AITA for showing a brief and mild lapse in composure over the situation? i’m going to do it btw.

AITA for ruining my friend's wedding?

A few months ago, I (26F) received an invitation to my friend's (27F) wedding. The invite said they wanted "to have their elegant dream wedding on a budget", and there was no date or venue listed because they were asking each guest to chip in at least $200 for them to book a venue. I didn't contribute, thinking I'd be uninvited as a result, but imagine my surprise when I got a real invitation with an actual time and place. But there was a note inside saying that since I hadn't contributed to the venue, I would have a job at the wedding: helping to cater. For free. There was a QR code with instructions and out of morbid curiosity, I checked it. There were several complicated recipes I'd be expected to prepare for over 100 people. I called some other old friends to see if they were also dealing with this insanity and the answer was a resounding "yes". Even the people who had contributed towards the venue were being given "jobs" to do. Some were expected to serve hors d'oeuvres. One was being asked to make the bridal gown. All this for free. So we all decided "fuck that", said we weren't coming, and sent our regrets. The bride, in return, sent us each a video recording of herself crying. She later posted another video on social media of herself tearing up a giant, floral heart with the caption "How I feel inside after my closest friends betrayed me by refusing to make my dream wedding a reality." She tagged all of us. It got tons of comments talking about how awful we were, and we even got private messages from her family saying we had "abandoned" her and that we all needed to "grow up" and do the jobs she'd assigned us. AITA?

(Asshole)

AITA for abandoning my son?

I know the title sounds terrible, but I do have good reasons. When I (335F) gave birth to my (55M) son, he was smaller than an average kit. He survived long enough to become a physical year old (dragons age one year every fifty-five), and he was still far below a normal weight or size.

I took care of him for so long, and nothing changed. I was sure he wasn’t going to live much longer, so I told my husband, Alwyn (335M) that. I said we could just have another kit eventually, and hopefully, that one would be stronger.

Alwyn fully agreed, saying he was sure our son would be the runt if we had litters.

He (who wasn’t named yet, because kits don’t get them until their survival is assured), was in his nest, so I picked him by his scruff since we’d both made up our minds.

I headed to the outside of the cave we lived in, spreading my wings. I wasn’t sure where I was going to leave him yet, but I knew it wouldn’t be at our usual hunting grounds.

Alwyn followed me, and after a while, we landed in Brocéliande.

I saw some bushes and walked over to them, setting our son down under them. I was still gentle with him because I didn’t want to physically harm him, and I made sure to hide him because I didn’t want him to get eaten either.

It wasn’t like he could walk away from where I’d concealed him, since he was too young to walk. Or open his eyes, even. He could go without eating for a bit because I’d fed him a little bit before this.

I nuzzled him before I left, and he purred. I gave the bushes one last glance as I walked away, then we flew off.

So, Am I the Asshole?

This was inspired by a writing post advising doing it lol 🤣

Feel free to comment on what you think of her choice!

I tried to replicate a Reddit post where the OP was declared the Asshole, hence the flare.

I might make one from Kenna’s perspective eventually! I don’t care about Alwyn as much since Rachel instigated it, but I might change my mind.

Am I the asshole for brainwashing my co-worker into turning her charity into a cover-up to get slaves to destroy a galaxy?

Context: I, (28F), lost my home eight years ago and recently moved galaxy to find a new ship to call home, but the founder of a charity in the area mistook me as needing help. The founder (16F) reminded me of the person who indirectly destroyed my home, so I ""politely"' told her that I didn't need help. However, I was lacking on the resources to pursue my career, so I offered her some of my engineering skills for some of her resources. She agreed with no questions asked.

During my time with her, I decided that it would be easier to use those seeking refuge on her planet as my servants than to spend materials on new robots. So I created a mind controlling peice of headgear suited to make people do my bidding. I quickly implemented this without the founder's consent (as I knew she wouldn't agree), but she found out anyway. I believe that she had forgotten our dynamic, as she acted without thought and attempted to dismantle the device which controlled all of the peices of headgear. I calmly reminded her that she had given me full control of her organisation when I became her co-worker, and I fitted the mind-controller onto her.

I've recently announced the new purpose of the organisation and I've received a lot of backlash from the public. I don't understand why though, I was just making an already known statement that I'm more important than charitable work. AITA?

Actually, I'll put it in simpler terms & take it a step further: my advice is to never, ever post your personal shit to r/AITA.

[manicpixiemidgirl]

r/AmItheAsshole posts be like "AITA for running someone over with my car?" And it turns out that the person they ran over was trying to set their child on fire but then it's also like "AITA for getting my girlfriend flowers?" But it turns out that he got her flowers he knew she was severely allergic to but didn't care and she almost fucking died

AITA for not helping my mother and causing her to sink further into debt/potentially become homeless?

My mom (61F) got roped into one of those MLM scams that sells vitamin supplements. And she got roped in hard. She convinced my dad to take out a second mortgage on their house to buy more of this stuff, and still believes "the big payday is just around the corner!". When I visited last, there was so much of this stuff in the living room it was hard to move around there. My dad privately told me that they've used up most of his retirement fund, they're having trouble paying the second mortgage, and might be facing foreclosure. I (30F) try to help where I can but I'm hesitant to give too much knowing it will likely just go towards more supplements.

My mom recently got the oh-so clever idea to try and go into hospitals to sell these supplements directly to the patients. Apparently, she posed as a visitor at one, began going room to room peddling this stuff, and was removed by security "just as a sale was about to go through" (her words, not mine). She insisted it was some sort of conspiracy because the supplements are "miracle cures" that could "put those silly hospitals out of business". I'm a surgical nurse at a local hospital, and my mom asked me if she could have my employee badge so she could get into the hospital where I work and try to sell these supplements there. Of course I told her no. I'd probably lose my job and even if I didn't , from an ethical standpoint, it would be a pretty terrible thing to do. She started screaming at me over the phone. She called me a "coward" and said "everything I sacrificed for you growing up was clearly for nothing!" At that point, I hung up the phone.

In the days that followed, I've been getting messages from relatives saying that I was wrong. That my mom gave up so much for me when I was a kid, and that I should be willing to return the favor. My mom also contacted me again to offer me a cut of the "huge profit" she plans to make (I'm skeptical). This morning, I got a message from my aunt saying that I'm no longer invited to any family holiday gatherings until I'm willing to "do the right thing". AITA?

[percehasarisen]

an AITA post.

honestly, I think this is a very weird situation, and that several misunderstandings happened that lead me to this point. I just really want to get it out there. It’s not an interesting story, and there’s really not much drama, so if that was what you were hoping for I can’t promise anything. I really don’t think anyone did anything out of malice or deceit, but then again I can’t ignore the fact that they might willingly be taking advantage of me because of my young age. I feel like I’m being screwed over but also like I’m the one who fucked up by agreeing. I’m super mad but I also feel guilty.

A couple weeks back the mother of a friend, we’ll call him B, that I carpooled with last year (I’m almost 18, but I got my drivers license late because I didn’t learn during Covid) asked me and another friend that I’m very close with (and who is also a mutual friend of B) to house/pet sit for them while they went on vacation for

B’s birthday. We’ll call the person I’m close to A (creative right?). For context, both A and I have house/pet sit for these people before, for what I think was a long weekend, maybe 4 days and 3 nights. So, when we were asked to pet sit again, it wasn’t that much of a shocker. And something to keep in mind: my friend’s mom asked us directly if we wanted to do it, and relied on us to ask our parents if it was okay with them. There was little communication between B’s mom, A’s mom, and my mom, as far as I’m concerned. (Another reason why I think I’m intentionally being taken advantage of). Unfortunately, I misread the dates. Instead of reading the 1st-10th, I read the 5th-10th. I thought both me and A would be staying for a few nights over the course of the week. I did not realize that I would be

expected to stay for 10 whole days and 9 nights at the very beginning of the month. I don’t know how I fucking missed it honestly, because I saw B’s mom talking with A about how A would not be able to stay for the entire week because their parents were not okay with it. For more context, A’s parents are stricter than mine and didn’t think it was a good idea for them to be staying over that long. So, the week of the vacation comes around. Two days before A and I are talking about it, and I mention something about the dates. They correct me by saying that it starts the first. Again, for context: our school recently started a new policy with abstinences: if you miss more than ten days in one class, you automatically fail the class. So you can imagine why I would be inclined to believe that they were only going to be gone for a few days and not the entire week, because B would miss school (and B’s not good with attendance in general, so missing 4 days is not a great move to do at the beginning of the school year). In the moment I had kind of just written it off, because I knew I would probably be fine if A was there with me for at least most of the week. Well. I find out that A is staying for about half the time I am. As in, 5 out of 10 days. This little tidbit is important: I basically told my mom the day before that I was going to be staying for 10 days because I had mixed up the dates. She wasn’t comfortable with it but let me go over anyways since I would be with someone. So we go over there. And I had been sick the week before. And then A started getting sick while we were there. And no ones going to force a sick person to be over at someone else’s house all day. So A leaves about two days earlier than they were originally suppose to. A tells B’s mom that they were sick and that they had to leave. B’s mom says something to the effect of “oh no!” but the only other acknowledgment that I get that I’m alone is her asking how I’m doing before I go to bed. It’s pretty clear that she only cares if someone’s over there with the pets. So A leaves. And you know who that makes responsible for these poor animals for the rest of the week? Me. I’m completely alone all day for the first time that week, and I freak. I’m not the most mentally stable person. I have a hard time socializing and making friends, and I was depressed in middle school. I’ve never been treated for it. I thought I could do it because I’m fine with being alone at my house; I actually prefer it that way sometimes. This situation, as I soon found out, was different because I was at someone else’s house and hadn’t talked to anyone all day and no one was coming home. I didn’t realize I was going to basically shut down and then start sobbing for thirty minutes and feel extremely depressed for the rest of the day. Luckily, my mom was coming over to the house to drop off something I needed, and she realized that no one was there with me and that I had been alone all day. She was extremely mad at B’s mom and was pissed off that I had to stay for the entirety of the rest of the week alone. At that point, I didn’t want to stay either. I wanted nothing more than to just go home and I agreed with her and actually started crying for the second time that day because I was so emotionally drained. So my mom texted B’s mom and they get into it. B’s mom says that she had already paid me and that there was no one else who could do it. My mom blocked B’s mom. I get a text from B saying “dude you didn’t tell your mom??” and I had to stop myself from exploding because OF COURSE I told my mom I just didn’t KNOW I WOULD BE STAYING FOR 10. WHOLE. DAYS. So apparently that’s what B’s mom got out of the conversation with my mom; that I just hadn’t told her. I had to get someone else to come over here and spend the night with me so that I wouldn’t have another breakdown (I still did but I’m better now.)

Anyways. So I’m still here and I’m still mad. I still want to leave. But I’m not going to leave these animals here alone all the time because that would be cruel and unfair, they’re both very sweet also, but after tonight I’m going to be spending at least a few hours in my own house. It’s ironic because B and I aren’t close and we haven’t always gotten along but I had always liked his mom. And now my opinion of her is on the floor, even though I’m painfully aware that this is at least partially my fault and that I basically threw the “im not going to be able to do what we agreed” card in her face randomly after I had already said I’d stay over for the whole week. Im mad at myself and I’m mad at them and I’m mad that I have to stay here but I know I can’t just leave because that would be irrational. I feel like I’m being incredibly immature and maybe it’s unfair to blame them, but I’m also painfully aware that I’m being underpaid for this and that it would’ve at least cost them at least $300 more to actually hire someone to come over and feed the pets every day, much less stay with them for the entire day for 10 days. I resent them for asking me even though I’m the one who agreed to it. I know it’s mainly just a fucked situation because of a lack of communication and misunderstandings. I do think im the asshole in this situation, but I also don’t think im being completely delusional by being mad at them. Anyways! So that’s it. Needed to get it off my chest.
