AITA for being a mean person? (React Court)

- This came from my livestream on November 4th, 2022. Catch me live every weekday from 11AM-4PM here: / northernlion
I wanted to mix up my content a little bit and I figured, what better way to use my unique brand of judgemental gaze than to read the top posts on one of the most entertaining subreddits out there: r/AmITheAsshole? Check it out! - เกม
The land story is such a non-issue with such an easy solution, just give her the land and let her choose what to do, you bought it for her to begin with so it's already essentially hers.
She can sell it now for a down payment or keep it for the future and if she regrets her choice later on that's on her.
Exactly. As of now they bought one daughter a house and then bought themselves some land. Then they tell second daughter they don't have the money. Why do they have the land? Makes no sense to not give it to the daughter to do what she wants with.
@@lolmanyeah1 It makes me think if the other house they bought for the other daughter is actually owned by the daughter or not. They could very well just be buying houses but not wanting to actually give / put their children's names on them to ensure that they live close by.
@@RawFishHeader I'm taking what the post says at face value and assuming the other daughter owns her house
Or maybe be honest with their THRITY+ YEAR OLD DAUGHTER that they aren't able to afford to financially help her, and is welcome to move into the plot of land if necessary. As described, Heather will very likely understand the answer
I'm baffled by all the YTA that say they shouldn't have bought the land because she didn't want it. The land increased in value, so by buying it they have more to give her even if she didn't want the land specifically. It's like putting the money they saved for her into stocks so that when she wanted it, it was worth more.
It seems like their hesitation is more because the land might be valuable enough where it's a poor financial decision to sell it (holding the asset is more valuable), rather than they want to force their daughter to live near them.
In that case, they should just include her in the financial discussion / give her the land so she can decide whether to keep it or to use it for her down payment.
The rumors of react court’s ascendancy are pogged out of their damn gourds
Honestly the more Egg does these reacts the more I realize that people make their lives wayyyyy harder than they need to be. Almost always the simple solution of “just be nice” solves the problem
Yeah but, if I have to be nice, then who is gonna be mean?
The gf/bf ones are always "literally just talk to each other" and the husband/wife are just "why do you weirdos have separate finances"
We can't all be playing 'good cop' or we'd all be the protagonists of our own stories with no antagonist to push us on and strive to better ourselves and make our dreams a reality! Life's gotta be a competition or nothing gets done. Think about the villains' feelings, man, don't be so selfish.
Not even "be nice" half the time.
Its not even that hard, a lot of these are just "don't go out of your way to be a dick" lol
Except when going left on a yellow light.
Shout out to the guy that left mid stream to return their library book.
I cried tears of joy whenever he said “It’s reactin’ time” and then reacted all over the posts

We're all deeply moved by your words
reactus
Oh, he is still reacting
Oh, I am pogged out my head
There on the Reddit in the thread reading
I see a man with his head so bald
It’s mastin’ time and then mast all over the place
As someone who literally went to school originally for vocal music at a fairly well respected school (no Juilliard or Berkley or anything lol) and no one would EVER be that mean during a session like that. You clap for everyone, and when you give criticism you do it with tact and you also compliment as well. And it being her younger sister on top of it, it’s mind boggling.
it's just crazy, I think a lot of people use "honesty" and "telling it like it is" just to put others down. I bet the singer wasn't even that bad and was just nervous
@@alixplaysguitar Some people do think that being honest is equal to having absolutely no empathy and then refuges in "I'm not a bad person I'm just being sincere!" and it drives me mad. Like just don't be an prick it's not that hard
Don’t clap for the performance, clap because they tried
IKR. It's almost like they are not on-stage artists and they are in class and actually learning.
Yeah, when it’s time to do otherwise, people generally PAY for the performance and still clap ❤
That’s really nice of NL to buy both Malf and Josh houses.

Hey NL, weird thing to complain but just a reminder that King Solomon didn't actually cut a kid in half.
He was actually anti King Solomon pilled. It was a bluff to know which mother cared about the child's wellbeing.
Anyways, pogged content as always.
It's a shame he always he misuses it. But I love it every time he says it
Child sacrifice to Moloch never happened I guess and all those historical depictions of a hot brass brazen bull with a bowl metal basin made for melting children and babies using fire didn't exist either. How quaint random internet person, I have been relieved of the horrific context of the bible, mankind and it's most ancient historic scriptures depicting the story of corruption and sinners which never ends as history repeats itself as a law of humanity. ;)
Cut the doughnut in half
Never call a kings bluff
What if the mother was a bitch and said "sure go ahead"?
I’m surprised so many people think that way about the scholarship situation. I’ve always thought of scholarships as a way to not be a financial burden to my parents. Getting money from them as a gift in that way would then just undo the point of the scholarship.
Yes! I would honestly feel bad/guilty if I actually took that much money from my parents anyway since I know they are not rich. If I could relieve the financial burden that I honestly have been since I was a child by getting a scholarship I would be very happy.
Holy, I misread your name and thought your comment was an old comment I posted, and that I must've seen the vid and forgot.
its a voice CLASS shes learning
I feel like the main issue with redditors and chat when it comes to siblings is that, for some insane reason, people seem to have a horrible relationship with their siblings, and sometimes with their parents too, to the point that they feel like one sibling should resent the other if they aren't treated 100% equally at all times.
I have a brother, we lead completely different lives, he has way more means than I do today, but we often times just help one another because you know, we are family? And familial relationships aren't a transaction that requires equity at all times.
I can feel my brain melting every time reddit/chat comes out with their insane takes about familial relationships. Everyone is so fucking bitter all the time, it must be tiring
Agreed.
Exactly my thoughts, and am on the same boat. I honestly kinda feel bad for those people
I don't disagree. At the very least I don't know why siblings take it out on each other when they are treated unfairly. At least pick that bone with your parents, your sibling has nothing to do with that. I say that as someone with 4 sisters who was treated with way less charity than my any of them where growing up. I get along great with them, even though I disapprove of how may parents acted.
its like they aren't happy with others having nice things too. family members all contribute in different ways and should work together to make everyone's life better
sanest take
The people in chat at 39:00 saying the kid on scholarships is being punished by not receiving like $100,000 in cash from his parents are actually insane.
If you are offered 100k for being related, given another 100k from your hard work, and then the original 100k is taken back, you have -100k. What would have been +100k for a person with unsupportive parents (0 from parents, 100k scholarships) is -100k for you because the parents became unsupportive. How you can see this as anything but a punishment makes no sense.
That being said, I don't think this hypothetical person is due a 100k check from the parents. maybe just like a 10k check for spending money or something. It affects the parents 1/10 as much, and gives the child a "bird in the hand". No college kid is complaining about a free 10k
@@pm146 You were never offered the original 100k? You got a full ride and your sibling got that same amount of money for college. I just don't get how you guys can see this and think you're being punished specifically, I could never. Though my parents have never been in a financially amazing place so maybe I just don't get it.
Agreed, I think the parent should at least acknowledge it with a gift. Whether it's monetary or not.
Me and my younger brother went to college. I either got scholarships/grants or paid my own way through working. I literally have no idea if my parents helped my brother financially through his schooling and I don't care. We both got what we needed in the end. In general, he got a lot more things than I did when we were growing up, because my family was in a better place when my parents decided to have another kid. I definitely used to feel resentful of him over it but I was probably 16 or so when I grew out of it because I like... Understood reality.
@@pm146 What are you talking about?
You are offered 100k = you have no money
You earn 100k = you have 100k
the original offer is rescinded = you have 100k
what do you mean -100k??
"If your parents don't give you 100k they are unsupportive" least deranged NL youtube commenter
She really seems to resent her sister from all the special attention she gets, or at least what she perceives as special attention. Hopefully she realizes that she shouldn’t take those feelings out on her sister, and it’s really something to work out within herself or or her parents if anyone.
@@TurkeyTumbleton such a younger sibling take. Also they can simultaneously enjoy life and think their parents treat them unfairly?
@@randomizednamme I had to, knowing full well my father hated my guts and adores my sister. He beat me a fair bit when I was younger too. It took my sis a long time to come around and realize her tiny part in it.
But the whole time, I did my best and kept going. Yes. You do have to try and find your way. The conditions by which you are treated by by your parents are never fully in your control and to presume otherwise is absurd indignation.
@@randomizednamme as the older, less preferred sibling, I still agree with the take though. my issues were always with the way we were treated, but never with my sibling as a person.
@@Nowolf Yeah I agree with the original comment, the one I was replying to got deleted
No way that post wasn't written by the 15yo though
didn't expect a drain gang mention less than 2 minutes in. the nl broadcast truly covers all bases
he's based?!
The second one is so simple it's baffling they struggled so much to solve it.
You bought land for both of your daughters, one of them moved onto the land you bought for them, the other wants to live somewhere else. Give her the land you bought for her, and she can choose to sell it or not........ I'm really confused how they complicated it that badly
Exactly, or just... ask? The daughter is 33 I'm pretty sure she can make the decision for what to do with the land herself. And if she won't like that choice she can live with it. SHE'S.... 33. Parents who won't treat their children like adults well into adulthood are insufferable.
Going to move to Canada around age 65 so I can end up in the same retirement home as NL and live out my days to incredible rants and anecdotes.
I like to imagine NL doing his insane banter while playing bingo every single day
i'm SO glad that the rumors of the demise of react court were greatly exaggerated these r my fav videos
"she's a landlord"
"yeah but she's girlbossing so it's okay"
I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH BAHAHAHAH
@@Forakus how would you kno what i'm like 😭😭
Parents should not be telling their kids to ask their siblings for financial help. That said, how do these siblings not already know which ones to ask for help? I actually kinda think the kids needing help are in the wrong. Why did they rat out their parents for advising them to ask the rich nanny? It's not about the parents at all. The kids should have focused the conversation on their needs, and if the nanny says no, don't bring up mom/dad telling you she can afford it! Take no for an answer.
It felt like both sides were catching strays in the story about the parent who was wary about purchasing a house for her daughter in the city. NL called the Daughter a baby because reddit + chat said it was unfair, when the Daughter had said she would understand if the parents couldn't afford it. Meanwhile reddit was going off on the parent even though she was just reluctant to sell the land because the daughter had previously stated a desire to one day move there. Both sides weren't really assholes, just needed to talk to see if the daughter wanted the land or the house, meanwhile NL went off on a weird rant about a hypothetical adult child, and reddit+chat really wanted to pretend this was one of those posts where the parent hates their stepchild. Just a weird 20 minutes lol
just be happy for your sibling challenge: IMPOSSIBLE difficulty
When NL said "don't eat a grenade" I found it specially funny because in spanish both grenade and pomegranate are called the same, granada.
If you're hungry it's going to take ages if you eat a granada, eat something else
Not a coincidence, the 'grenade' was named after the pomegranate (specifically from the French).
the woman from that one post, Elisa, is living with hacks turned on. She's been a nanny for a rich family for JUST 2 years, makes 250k annually plus benefits plus bonuses, AND she doesn't pay for nearly any of the traditional life costs one would expect to pay? IN THE BAY AREA? Insane. Consider me jealous.
She won, and she knows it. She’s made a conscious decision to care more for money than her family😂
Literally everything can be compared to magic. The egg is scarred.
Everyone seems so entitled to everything like no it’s not the siblings money but if I was pulling in that much I’d be trying to do stuff like that for my siblings to make their lives easier maybe they wouldn’t even have to pay me back just saying like it’s family so many of these situations people throw that out of the fact and treat them like strangers
I do think it’s extremely a hole material to suggest that she should give it up cause at the end of the day it’s her money but I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to help FAMLY with this stuff
Rare chat being more insane than Reddit?
I think the house thing is a NAH, just poorly aged situation that results in one kid getting less than another.
a 250k a year nanny job is unfathomable. Thats got to be like a 100 person club of the 1 million nannies on earth. Good for her.
Having a salary of 250k for nannying strikes me the same as a streamer or esports player earning crazy money. It may be good right now, but who the hell knows how it will be in 5-10 years. If she has made 500k pretax at a 67% income retention rate (what i keep from my lower salary) she is around 335k made. Giving 40k is giving 12% of your retained income away. When you have your whole life ahead of you, that's a sketchy move to make.
That doesn't even consider the cost of the cash rental building purchase lol. She may be riding on a smaller bank account number than you think.
@@garrettgilbert2622 This was the first thing I thought of too; at any moment she could be fired or lose the job and expect to earn maybe 25% of that elsewhere.
She'd be an idiot not to use the windfall to invest and save heavily in the event that things go to hell; even more so to be giving out ridiculous sums.
Me: "Here, let me reconstitute the entire board state on turn three."
NL: "What the- You remember that? That's taking up space in your brain?"
Me: "You say that as though that space wouldn't otherwise just be occupied by reddit memes and House of the Dragon Trivia."
Meanwhile he's over here on sporacle throwing out names of actors I've never heard of in movies that I'm 95% sure don't actually exist, and quoting songs from like 40 years ago
Regarding the argument of parents giving equivalent value to both siblings, my brother went to a private school and it was really expensive. I went to a public school and I also had athletic scholarships so I came out of school with zero debt.
My parents did not send any money for schooling while I was in college but helped my brother out. I do not feel like I am at all entitled to some payout now.
My parents were there to help us as much as possible. My mom and dad helped me in other ways, like with making sure I had a running vehicle so I didn't have to take on that expenditure myself early in my adult life.
The people comparing that the other sibling deserves some automatic kind of equivalent value sound really spoiled and ungrateful.
Excuse me, this is the police. We'd like to give you the key to the city for having such based and rational takes.
@@JD-wu5pf I graciously accept this award on behalf of me
It's unreal how many siblings seem to hate eachother. Just heinous jealousy.
I have 3 brothers. Growing up, every Christmas our parents would buy us each like $50 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets. We didn't quibble because child 1 won $40 off of their tickets while child 2 only got $10. We sat at the table and scratched as a family and got excited when someone hit a big number.

Its almost like well adjusted families capable of communication and compromise dont immediately respond to problems by going online to seek validation from strangers.

Thank you for getting me through my making and consuming dinner
I get the sense Elisa is a "nanny"
Yeah. I googled live-in nannies and, surprise, surprise, it they get an order of magnitude less (~1K per month).
But then again, it's AITA, so it probable never happened. Taking the stories at the face value is half the fun. It's not the same experience if you start to question them, even the slightest.
Another long react court? We've been blessed
I love when NL goes on rants about his family. It’s always so adorable. I aspire to be like him one day. You are an amazing role model
chat has been crazy recently. in the last story, what world is the sister expected to pay for her siblings? and also the wedding filming thing recently
It's also not insignificant part of her income. (30+10)/250*12 = 2 months worth of income. If you came to me expecting me to give out 2 months of my salary just like that, I'd be like "bruh, what?"
@@etopowertwon well to be fair it's two months of her salary when she has minimal expenses.
Like currently I make 1.5k a month, asking for 3k when my minimal living expenses are already 1k is ridiculous. If had 1.3k left over every month then it wouldn't be a big deal.
@@strawb2811 I think it depends on the situation? If my sibling came to me needing a couple grand for urgent lifesaving medication or to keep a roof over their head or to feed their kid, I’d be like yeah for sure, I’ll make it work and keep to a tighter budget for a few months. If they came to me asking for a couple grand so they can graduate without debt, I’d tell them to take a hike, tbh.
@@etopowertwon she literally said in the post that she'd be making at least 80k in bonuses for the ONE MONTH of December PLUS that month's salary, I think the sister just hates her family honestly.
As someone who earns the most in my family, I hate when people consider me to be an ATM. I think I received more "can you loan me $200" than congratulations with my birthday.

So many of these are “my parents paid my sibling more than me and now I’m mad” or even “this other person got something nice for free whereas I did not” is this an American thing? I have never heard anyone being mad because someone else got something nice
Yes this is why America has almost no social programs it's insane lol.
Nah not exclusively american but probably more common in america
Yes. Literally every progressive policy in america is met with "I don't benefit from this, therefore no one should"
Being mad because someone else got something nice is literaly one of the main driving force in humans.
Europeans every time they don't understand something: Is this an American thing?
People in the chat split over whether or not you should help your kid get a house when they didn’t need it at the time forgetting that “from each according to his ability…” mantra they’re supposed to believe in, lol
For the first story a community college voice class may be the top of their ambitions
React Court needs to live forever
I feel like the difference in opinion with the sister loaning to the brother's one is one of upbringing. I'm from a more collectivist culture and I would feel bad not to at least give the option to lend the money if I wasn't comfortable with gifting it to my siblings if I was doing that much better.
They should give her the land and tell her to do what she wants with it so if she sells it and wants to move to the area she sold the land in, then its on her.
for a second there I thought NL got into draingang
great to see sideways ryan make an appearance
I don't understand why people are saying the land AITA is an arsehole. Reading that it seem like they are all mature adults who don't feel entitled at all and all they need to do is go through their options. I think the daughter would understand they are not in the same financial situation as they once were, and the option is to ask the daughter if she doesn't mind them selling the land to pay for her down payment or if she would like the land for later in life. From there they can go through their options. I also don't think the daughter would begrudge them for saying no.
Chat just seems to hate when their siblings succeed.
You can't really get body language cues singing over zoom (or at least it's way clearer in person)
The rumors of react court’s demise have been…
NL's spiel about not having siblings kind of falls apart when you look back at any of the many arguments he has made about people without kids not having the necessary frame of reference to render judgement on a given topic
Many people are saying this
Although honestly it's his argument about parents having the only valid view that should be falling apart, lol. Maybe he'll make the connection
@@YaotzinMI agreed 👍
It's not like you forget what not being a parent is like after you have a kid.
@@fleasy4393 If your argument is that you *do* forget what being a kid is like after you grow up, then NL still doesn't have a platform to stand on, because the majority of the foundation for a relationship that siblings share is formed during childhood. Which, according to this argument NL has forgotten.
Second story: The one true solution, according to Reddit logic, is to take back half of what you gave the other daughter, adjusted for inflation of course, even if they have to sell their house. Then sell the land and split that money and give half of that money to each daughter. It must be exactly equal on both parts even if it causes massive problems for everyone and punishes the other daughter for settling first.
I love how on the plot of land story, he spends like 15 minutes going through different analogies trying to find one that makes his point of view seem reasonable and eventually just gives up and goes "it's pointless to try and argue with metaphors"
The rumours of react court’s demise were not unexaggerated
NL stays the king of reddit reactions
Man, that first one is just rotten. They were given warning that she's worried, she bombs and probably feels horrible about it, she isn't really expected to be godly in the first place, and yet that fucker deigns to be the arbiter of applause and compliments for a family member who clearly knows it was a nightmare. Deserves every bit of derision and scolding they get. Completely unempathetic behavior.
Mind that I'm not usually so vitriolic in my comments about... much of anything really. That being said, having ample experiences performing music with its own fair share of shitshows, that type of reaction, while functionally a minor thing, is absolutely vile to do to someone, let alone family who you know was already nervous.
The first one reads like: young teen girl goes to voice lessons at a community college where everyone else is older than her, is nervous during practice so messes up a little, and her older sibling bullies her.
I don't earn nearly close to 6 figures but i would lend my sisters the money they need. Your close family should be the one person you give a break. My parents went deep into debt and ruined their credit because of insane interest but now that i have money i would rather have them borrow at 0% interest from me than lending from insane interest again.
Anyway, we need more details of the relationship. The parent just washing their hands and telling go ask your sister for money is bad though. Tell the sister first. Also, the siblings shouldn't feel entitled. It's all a favor and the sister should really consider doing it because it's the nice thing to do but things aren't just a given.
Is it fair for NL to get Luna a house, but not his 2 human sons? No, YTA Ryan.
underrated comment
Exaggerated Court has been rumored demised.
I think young people have a tendency to see thing only in black and white and want strict justice and I was exactly like that too but when you really think about what actually matters most of this petty stuff goes away world is way more complicated than simple rights and wrongs most of these people sound so selfish like ur sibling got a house and now can’t help you cause they’re retiring what asshole is like no you who raised me must give me ur money so everything is fair like why does it have to be fair you know life isn’t fair and just be happy for your SIBLING damn
Elisa has the most insane job I've ever heard of
Good thing for your mental health, it isnt real
The two things I think are germane to that last post which are really the difference makers in this are:
1. Urgency of need of her siblings, to whit if they were like literally out of housing or food and they had a family member who made that much and refused to help them they’d obviously be the asshole. Wanting to borrow money for a down payment on a house or just to not have student loans is blatantly not pressing in the same way.
2. At some fundamental level NL is right and even one of the most ostensibly closest relationships a person can have, and a channel of wealth so exorbitant, does not provide enough pressure for this person to provide for her community. Thusly, she and especially her employers should be getting taxed at an obscenely larger rate than they are. The wealthy will never willingly give back to the world the good fortune they have been given.
that said, although less *urgent*, there is something to be said about the total value involved, when it comes to loans. the difference between 10K from someone with the means, now, versus the 25K+ you'll be paying back overall, is a *lot* of months of rent and food. do they have to wait until the previous month's payments zeros out their bank account before they can get help?
Some incredibly onlychildpilled takes in this one, heh
Shoutout to the sibling financing poster announcing their oldest daughter's income even though it was completely irrelevant to the story.
I have a AITA story, but if I think it would be too easily identifiable, even if I switch stuff around

React court is S tier nl content
juicy. just finished the other episode and he posted the next one just few minutes ago. love the baldness, keep it up eggie
baffling that Reddit was able to turn that Land Story into a YTA situation.
Record these twice a week and turn it into a podcast
I feel like Ryan's kind of missing a middle ground for the sisters house post though which is weird because usually he king solomons absolutely everything. Unless I read I wrong the parents bought 1 daughter the entire house? They could very reasonably have bought like 80% and set the other 20% aside for the other daughter. He's saying you can't just set aside pots of money for an indeterminate amount of time but like yes you can lol. It just seems kinda thoughtless if you had the means to not have planned for her wanting a house at all. It seems like a pretty predictable thing to want eventually and they knew they were going to retire
Also like, sure you're doing a nice thing and you dont have to. But also it's different when it's your own children, there's definitely a fair expectation of some level of equity imo
Also his 21 jump street scenario is completely non analogous because there is no scholarship and that kinda shows the issue imo lol
I agree, I think it's the sheer amount of money that makes the difference. Like if my parents bought my sib a whole house and hadn't even offered to put aside some money for me, I'd be upset.
Not because its unfair (though it is) but it's life changing to be able to afford a house. So I would be really sad my sib got that chance and I didn't.
Moving on to the scholarship analogy. I think that's different. Like if I already owned a house through my own means, I wouldn't resent them helping my sib buy a house even if I recieved nothing. Because we both have the same opportunity.
@@strawb2811 no I agree with what you said about the scholarship but my point was there is no actual scholarship in the scenario since neither had a house so I thought it was pretty irrelevant for the scenario
yeah, i dont often disagree with him but he was really wierd abut this. like there are bank accounts, headge funds etc... or you know, just build 2 houses but rent the other one ?
@@strawb2811 even with the scholarship. its often the good kid that is punished or disregarded. it stings sometimes. maybe he wasnt smarter, just worked harder, didnt go to parties, play video games and date ?
damn he really baited me with the Blade posting comment. Ive never seen the movies so I thought he knew more Bladee lyrics than me. I was pogging off
Over an hour for 3 posts... The egg is cracked
If my friend who won the lottery helped one of the friends from our group that was really down bad. That would have been just a nice thing. If the guy winning the lottery bought something really valuable for everyone but me I'd think he just obviously showed that he really didn't like me. It's not that I'd want a house or feel entitled to getting anything, but if you play favours like that feelings will get hurt. Just show that you still appreciate them and make sure it doesn't come across wrong then, idk. take your other friends on a sweet fishing trip or something.
Crazy how many people don't understand the difference between investing in your child's future and giving your child a gift
The man actually argued that "the experience of having siblings" makes you biased to sibling-related situations. I'm done...
NL getting so mad at chat having siblings that he starts calling the daughter in the post a baby even though she didn't actually do anything at all is crazy
Honey wake up the rumours of the react court demise have now been exuberantly exaggerated beyond belief
The writer of the last story pulled off the biggest finesse of all time by making the argument about whether the daughter is the asshole and not whether the writers the asshole
mom said its my turn for the free money
I literally go to CC for programming and it’s good 😑😑😑
That nanny should have never told her family how much she earns…
I have a feeling Eliza isn’t just a nanny for that amount of money
Surely if they have a plot of land for their daughter who can't even pay for a mortgage then how on earth will she be able to pay to build a house on said land in the future if she'll have to continue renting for the foreseeable future? For me it seems more likely that they'll be able to move back home sooner if they get on the property ladder asap instead of sitting on an empty plot of land and having to rent.
Just view it as an incredible investment fund you did for your daughter. Bought land in a place where the land prices have skyrocketed? That must be a huge return on investment, what an amazing and forward thing to do you her. She can now sell and buy a house somewhere that she wants to live...
Every AITA post ends with "Everyone in my life thinks I suck and this is my fault so reddit AITA". Even if reddit agrees with them wtf are they gonna go do in real life then? Tell their friends and family to get fucked?
Getting mad about the house thing is like getting mad that your mom bought your sister a starbucks and didnt paypal you $5
