r/AmITheAsshole / AITA

I think it's pointless to try to judge the past actions that led to the situation and rather look at the situation as it is.

The Mother is the sole source of income, the daughter is of age even if she may have a legit disability and the brother is a 'tard that needs wrangling. Unless the Sister is willing to write off her family, which may well be a good option-- we don't know all the details-- a normal response would be to support the family as best you can. And in the description provided that would be by either sucking it up and taking care of the brother or getting a job so the Mother can... Or go whining to social media for clout, I guess...
 
So going back a bit further...

I've been refused disability benefit because of reasons such as 'I can shower without assistance' 'I can wipe my own arse' 'I can walk up and down stairs' 'I can eat without a feeding tube' .
She has been declared "competent enough to wipe her own ass" by the UK government. Maybe she is a deathfat afterall, if wiping her own ass was ever in question.

Now, OP being an aggressive fatty? Runs in the family.
He(12m) has issues with food. And at this point was getting a bit overweight. He(11 at the time) just kept eating. Burger after burger. Nothing healthy. I(18 at the time) came home with some pringles and treats after seeing my boyfriend. My brother tried to snatch out of my bag. Failed. I sat down with my food - I'm not sharing with a snatcher. And he walked in with the largest knife from the drawer and said 'give me some' and then started half crying. That still has me thinking 'how is this kid related to me' and is one of many reasons I struggle to like him

If true I guess I can't blame her for not wanting to deal with him, but she's 7 years older than him and loves going "I don't support violence but <advocates for violence>" I can't help but wonder if she contributed to his stabby tendencies.

They're only half siblings though maybe that reduces his willingness to take her seriously? I wonder if this is why she calls child bearing people breeders - that's basically her mom in a nutshell.

She's pretty anti child now so she probably won't follow in her mother's footsteps with regards to being a baby factory, but it looks like she's about on par with respect to choice of men she associates with. She deleted this thread OP but her followup is concerning:

I have to admit I can kinda see how Modern News is able to turn social media into "news stories" now, the more I dig the more I feel like I have to quote... But how did they stop at just the one AITA post?!? There's a whole rabbit hole here, and I didn't have to dig that far to find it!

She's not responsible for his actions. She's responsible for hers. It's like when you get injured in a car accident, but that injury could have been completely avoided if you wore a seatbelt.

In this case, the seatbelt is "not letting people who ain't shit procreate with you", and the car injury is "being a single mother who has to rely on her 19-year old daughter to take care of her 12-year old son".
Who is the girl's father?
 
Any bets that the brother is special needs?
I tend to always take the middle ground "okay there's a 75% chance this is a very biased retelling of your problems" (and most people asking if theyre the asshole already kind of know and are looking for reinforcement, or is not actually asking) with shit like this, but I immediately read this and thought "This kid is Chris Chan tier autistic and the girl sounds like she's a bit autistic too and probably just as moody and temperamental--and looking at her account, she definitely seems like one of those "Everyone I ever run into is an asshole" types, and almost a spoonie where she takes from people but then justifies when its her, but bitches when shes asked to suck it up and put out for someone else like they did when listening to her.

They seem like kind of an equally draining person to be around and the two are probably exacerbating each other's problems, she probably deals with the kid with the same social grace she displays on the internet ("Im right, and Im sorry youre so fucking stupid and wrong but you need to shut up and do what I want").

For some reason reading her page just reminds me of Mobility Mary and especially when I read her writing about dogs, I read it in that high pitched whine Mary is known for.

5 days ago. So she's too immunocompromised to work but she's perfectly fine to go visit her boyfriend, something that is currently not allowed in the UK? So the can't go out to work because muh condishuns is the lazy excuse it first appeared to be since she isn't bothered about mixing with people outside her household.

Oh and her dad was in her life but she cut him off about 3 months ago for "not taking her anxiety seriously". Probably told her to stop being overdramatic and attention seeking all the time. The entire posting history screams cluster B, everything in her life is shit and none of it is her fault.

telling her mom her brother wasn’t her responsibility. The unemployed teenager was saddled with looking after her brother
Reddit users sided with the sister on this one.
Of course Reddit sided with the unemployed adult whining that they have to do more than nothing to help the mom paying for her food, shelter, internet, etc while her mom is at work earning the money for all that.

i like how they call her unemployed teenager like shes not a fucking adult at 19. This isnt porn. If you gonna freeload at your moms as an adult not even paying rent or shit the least you could do is fucking tard wrangle your brother.
 
She seems to think when she moves out she can out a lock on "her" room and not let the person who actually plays the bills decide what to do with it.

Oh but she might go back there after uni (unless her boyfriend takes on the responsibility of playing for her).

The most downvoted comment on the Reddit thread is the apparently totally wrong, unreasonable, and uncalled for advice that:
"ESH you cant just be made into a nanny for your nut job brother on a whim, but be prepared for some rent or finding different living situation if you dont want someone deciding for you what your responsibilities are."

To which Reddit updoots the OP for specifying:
"If I had the money and stability I'd be out of there asap. I suffer with anxiety and a chronic illness so atm I'm kind of trapped"

"I can't work, or even just 'babysit' a 12 y/o, or do anything but eat tendies and post on Reddit because aNxIeTy."

Reddit goes on to tell her to get welfare so she can get a place paid for by taxpayers so she can escape the abusive situation of Mom having a job to pay for her and her being subjected to the rape-like crime of being asked to watch her 12 y/o brother (which likely just consists of being in the same house, not even the same room, and making sure nothing too crazy happens) while Mom selfishly is at work making money to pay for her adult child's fat lazy ass while she whines on Reddit all day. She replies:
"I've applied for a disability allowance. And I'm still waiting for them to decide if I qualify. I have to have the answer in order to apply for universal credit benefit. Once I get an answer I'm going to look into getting the benefit."
"I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I hope I can escape asap"
 
I am going to reply to every post because I'm just that autistic and have a special hate in my heart for reddit and the associated nonsense.

r/childfree will always be the worst, r/movies second probably, and this one in third.

Someone hasn't been to /r/books. At least the posters in /r/movies like movies.

inappropriate outfits (club wear, too formal, someone wearing white), bridezillas where the OP is always the maid of honor,

The quintessential AITA post. This exact post gets posted there three times a day, and at least once on JustNoMIL to round things out:

I am the maid of honor at my best friends wedding. My best friend is a half-black, half-Filipino MtFtMtF autistic transexual dog mom. (insert five pages of irrelevant biographical details here). This is important later!

My friend's evil stepmother doesn't like her because she's an evil bigot and a Trump supporter and said that QAnon told her to hate transexuals for no reason! Said evil stepmother said she was going to wear white to my friend's wedding just to ruin it and there was nothing she could do about it. My friend asked her not to but she just laughed and spat on her and promised she'd ruin the wedding with her white dress.

When the evil stepmother arrived she was wearing white! Just like she threatened! Being the quick-thinking hero I am I did the same thing every person does every time this story gets posted and pretended to spill wine on her, forcing her to change into a more appropriate dress and thereby saving the wedding. Everyone clapped including my friend's elderly grandmother and this was her final happy memory before she died.

The evil stepmother was outraged and had a screaming fit and called everyone names, and she was kicked out of the wedding. Am I The Asshole?

There is a lot of crossover with the JustNo subs, they start in AITA and get redirected to JNMIL.

My pet theory is that people who want to start a series in JustNoMIL start by posting about the scenario they want to write about in AITA, knowing any MIL related post will get directed there and it will add credibility to their throwaway account.
I can't help but think this is a troll post.
That's literally all the posts.
