AITA For Charging My Kid To Use The Family TV? (React Court)

[@yuriviolence]

every single day its "am i the asshole for forcing a family member out of my house for barely anything?" or "am i the asshole for being mildly upset at someone trying to actively harm me?"

[@wolfengod8277]

To be fair why do the family members think it is acceptable to start nonsense while in someone else’s house. I’m pretty relaxed but I’m not going to have someone come to my house and talk shit then let them stay. The lasagna one doesn’t fit this context, as it was a bind taste test and the food probably just wasn’t that good. How hard is it to just be polite?

Fun fact, irl i was expelled from my dad's christmas celebration in his new wife's house, because the year prior (yes, a YEAR prior) i had a burp (singular) in their kitchen after dinner, and they thought it was rude. And he hasnt spoken to me in 7 years since then, for no other reason. People are insane even irl. Or rather, his new wife is insane, and he submits to her at the expense of his only son. Like, you wouldn't believe how insane people are irl. Luckily you only meet 1 of those for every 1000 normal people in your life. I think we'd be surprised how many of these "obviously fake" threads are actually real.

[@cecil937]

Not gonna lie, volunteer kid story got me worked up. The parents charge their non adult children to use household items??? That's a kinds of messed up. Giving your kid that works less hours an allowance while not giving the kid with more hours an allowance? Messed up. Those parents don't even really care about the kids future properly. Volunteering looks amazing on college applications while work doesn't, it looks just about as good for job applications, and considering the kid is interested in the field it's a great career choice as well. Him leaving the volunteer position is far more likely to hurt his future than to help it, but they're too concerned about making him pay for the god damned TV to realize it. Edit: also all of the reddit comments are idiots FFS.

[@CmBHDz]

Yeah I'm right there with you. The top reddit comments really sucked on that post. I honestly feel like a child deserves some level of allowance for existing, if the parents can afford that. Money is power and helps kids explore hobbies they want in to, and simply enjoy life to a similar degree that adults can. You're absolutely right about volunteering being a good pursuit, American work culture is incredibly toxic. This kid is literally finding what he wants to spend his time doing and is genuinely passionate about and the parents aren't even being supportive which is like, text book bad parenting.

[@KyleIsMega]

Also not to mention that volunteer experience can make you qualified for scholarships which could be more valuable for your future than $300 a week working at McDonalds you have to spend on your parents' TV!

To be fair, the passive aggressive mother in law is a very common trope in media. I knew exactly what OP meant by that (though I cant speak to the trope's validity).

[@Doomroar]

Is also true in real life but worse, my cousin had a baby so he moved in to live with his girl friend, and now my aunt criticizes for pretty much anything whenever she gets the chance. My aunt used to be quite chill, and now she became a passive aggressive mother in law.

[@Summy_99]

yeah I think they meant she fits that trope rather than that the typical mother in law is passive aggressive

[@gurderguile9258]

Not to mention the OP in that case sounded like a woman (just by likelihood, talking about a husband and baking, and there was no obvious social awkwardness/tension that comes with LGB usually) and yet NL pretty much called them misogynistic

[@aarlanng]

@@gurderguile9258 just because someone's a woman doesn't mean they can't be misogynistic. besides, the whole 'typical passive-aggressive MIL' thing is at best, playing into some cringey boomer era archaic stereotype; or at worst, playing into preconceptions of middle-aged women similar to how the term karen is used. there's an argument for some degree of latent misogyny there, intentional or otherwise

On the cake question. I think that the request came from the child from a place of admiration where they request the cake from this person because that’s the only source they know of, which I think is reasonable and kind of OP to accept. However, as soon as the mother requests a different cake free of charge, OP has the right to decline because anyone can make a chocolate cake and there is no reason for OP to make it.

[@Phoenixdown37]

Honestly, going by the edits? Kind of seems like the OP phrased the question and situation in their favor. First off, the mother mentioned kids who had a nut allergy when the OP already agreed to make the cake. It SEEMS unreasonable to ask, but the mother was up front about it being for a birthday party and that there were kids attending that had nut allergies. Dude also seem like they were being a bit difficult about the entire situation. All it would have take to make sure things didn't escalate would be to politely inform her that they didn't feel comfortable in their cooking skill to do anything else. It's very possible that tone of their verbal response may have also been a reason for the mothers sudden 180. Especially given the response that seemed to have upset the mother i.e "the only reason I was doing it". I can not imagine that being said in a neutral or positive tone.

[@kingchuckfinley]

@@Phoenixdown37 did they actually agree to make the cake though? Regardless, if they did actually agree, they agreed to make that specific cake. That’s when the requesting person says, “ oh alright no worries, I can get/ make a different cake “ perhaps a better offer would be “if I get the ingredients for a chocolate cake, do you think you could make that instead?” A waste of time and money otherwise.

The idea that one cake is the same as the other even tho they are completely separate categories of cakes and requires a completely new recipe, including research on how to put that together and trial-and-error, is such an ignorant position clearly coming from someone who has never had to do the research to put together a recipe from scratch. It's entirely a "choosing beggar" mentality, And if it was truly not that big a deal then the mother in question could just have made a chocolate cake herself based on a recipe online or bought one from a bakery.

For the well electricity... If it's a single residence they can do a well on a small pump, less than 5 horsepower, but I'll use that. Electricity is usually charged per kilowatt hours, so let's convert horsepower. Each horsepower is like 750 watts, but I'll use 1k to give a large margin of error. Any well pump should be sized to at least 10 gallons per minute, although that's quite low. Toilets where I am are 1.28 gallons per flush, but I'll use 2. So we have 2 gallons of water for a flush that can be refilled in 12 seconds, using 1 kilowatt of energy. I will round this to one minute. That makes 1/60 of a kilowatt hour. Where I am, peak electric cost is 33 cents per kilowatt hour. Congratulations, the gal is saving one half of a cent per flush.

[@Crimsontalor]

also when you think about water vs everything else, maybe dishes definitely shower, she's using far more water with those on in a couple of minutes compared to a few flushes she's worrying about the wrong gallons, like lets say she takes a 5 minute shower that's already dozens of gallons in a short amount of time, unless she washes with a rag and a bucket every single day then hey more power to her and lets say she has a dishwasher. she's not saving anywhere near the amount of water she thinks she is.

It cost around 1.3 cents (american) to flush a toilet. Just a fun fact that leads to me to paying 1.3 cents NOT to smell your waste. People who are obsessed over water and electrical usage I will never understand. "You left the light on overnight?! That cost us literally 9.2 seconds of work!"

Is this video even real?

[@maxwellmulford5898]

a cousin is any of your grandparents other grandchildren.

George Lucas voice sounds a lot like Meatwad. Funny stuff, man.

[@thatburningcande]

Not surprised NL immediately said the first poster was the asshole, he probably loves his mother in law

[@nate.draws.things]

The flushing after peeing one was just red flags on both sides, it's crazy. If you care that much about not flusing that you're willing to let a relationship end because of it that's a huge red flag, but by the same token it's also a red flag if you so that much about whether someone flushes when they pee.

that 2nd year engineering student voice was like a tim robinson character

19:25 Youre missing the aspect of being appreciated for your craft. That's what op gets out of the transaction. If he just makes a chocolate cake then he gets nothing aside from the kind of appreciation he'd get if he makes cake for just anyone.

[@maxbenson5472]

To be fair on the edit of the cake one, it's possible their whack responses are to frequently asked comments and not their own priorities.

[@THEDONKAGE]

37:57 is actually too true. That lady is fuckin' inSANE

[@EleanoRa99]

Agreed. If I’m paying to watch TV, I’m holding the remote.

[@PiningAway462]

Just because I make some good chicken barbeque doesn't mean I am any good at making chicken any other way. ( Insert nut cake vs chocolate cake Aita ) that's how I see it among the other ways talked about

[@batchout]

17:38 "trying to force a nut cake" lol

[@myrimu9829]

the How to Win Friends and Influence People joke got me good but i unironically think tons of people on AITA would benefit from it. it's heavy handed and kinda silly at times but it's as close as you can get to a written guide on how to be nice to people, which seems like one of the most common problems on AITA.

[@saileshanth]

NL, please get the bg music back. It was quite a nice addition.

[@MrDispro]

just open FTL in the background.

[@CssHDmonster]

these AITA posts prove that we indeed live in a society

[@MichaelAW17]

I dont like videos often, but man NL. Yu got me.

[@TheRadioSquare]

Some people put a lot of effort and time in their cooking so they form a sense of pride in it. OP is kind of an asshole for escalating the situation but MIL is also quite an asshole for openly insulting OP's cooking for no reason.

[@dylmm]

The MIL had no idea though. As far as she knew she was just randomly fed some lasagna while blindfolded. “What does this taste like?”

[@TheRadioSquare]

@@dylmm I mean, you're visiting someone and they do a taste test on you. Even if they for some reason decide to feed you microwaved frozen lasagna, the common sense should suggest that someone cooked it and it's best to be tactful. Considering she thought it could be a cockroach though, that's asking too much.
