Normal Behavior: Parenting your child's friend and teaching them to be respectful.
AITA Poster Behavior: Holding a grudge against a child for months
Everyone knows it takes a village to passive aggressively ostracize a child for making an uncouth comment at dinner....
The kid didn’t even say anything malicious. If she really wanted to insult somebody for their weight, I’m sure she could have come up with something worse than “bigger woman.” I can believe it was a poorly worded and timed joke, and I’m sure she felt bad about it.
Normal behavior: Teaching your teenage kid financial responsibility
AITA poster behavior: Executing a multi thousand dollar debt you pressured your 12yo kid into
Also, someone in the chat asked 'why doesn't the kid want to apologize' but like, the post specifically says the daughter is too embarrassed to bring it up and thinks it will be awkward, which it will, so the girl doesn't even know she's done anything wrong, literally months later.
@@MightyJoxam85 plus I get the feeling if the child is introverted then the friend might be too, so I don’t blame her for hoping the whole thing just blows over.
It is always shocking to me how many people seem to resent their own kids because they have to pay to their food and housing. Like yeah, that's how it is, don't have kids if you aren't a fan of that arrangement
As someone with parents like that I can tell you it kinda fucked me up for a while.
my brother in christ you made the children!
Someone in the chat asked why the girl doesn't want to apologize and NL said 'because they're a teen' but the post states that the daughter does not want to bring it up to her friend because its embarrassing and awkward, so the girl has spent three months not even realizing she did anything wrong because mom decided to hold a grudge against a literal child instead of just saying, "Man that's a little rude" at the dinner table.
Id bet the friend knows it was a mistake, but feels way too awkward to bring it up themselves and would rather sweep it under the rug.
The daughter also knows it was bad, but telling your friend to apologize to your mom is awkward and not cool.
There are way more reasons for a child to not apologize than "I refuse to admit I did anything wrong".
"Sorry seems to be the hardest word" is the title of a once popular song.
@@Acc_Expired what I'm saying is we have no idea if the kid doesn't want tl apologize. No one has said anything about it to her for three months.
I mean the child knows what is rude.
if it's been three months, my neurodivergent ass would have assumed everyone else had forgotten about the incident and moved on
@@Romanticoutlaw and you would be completely right in every case except the infinitesimal chance that the other person happens to be an AITA poster
You are now entering the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Egg. The cases are real. The assholes are real. The verdicts are based.

so true except all the cases are fake
The cases are fake, but the assholes are real.
@expresionless953 *eggsagerated.
Oh sorry, I thought this would be the "Creative Writing For Dummies" class.
As the dinner one was going, I was expecting something like “I am (some dietary restriction) and my husband’s parents have never respected that and picked a restraint to exclude me specifically” but she just kept getting worse.
but their was only THREE chicken or fish options!!! (all bad for various reasons)
Get this. The reason she didn’t want the damn chicken? IT WAS FRIED. Same with the entree for the fish? It was a fish she didn’t like.
I get being a picky eater. My feel sorry for my relatives every time we go to someone's house to eat and I wish I liked eating some foods that I cant stand to even look at. I'd also understand if they had something like IBS and were cautious about stuff that upsets their stomach. However most of what I'm hearing from this post is "it's not what I prefer". Idk why she also says that she'll feel left out not eating right after she says that her husband suggested eating the dessert while there and getting some takeout later. I've learned how to pick out bacon and eat around certain things. I dont understand the struggle for just this one dinner?
@@Mitwadus bro i cant imagine what the rest of their relationship is like
Can we just appreciate what a maestro husband is with the celebratory dinner one? That man only made one bad decision through that whole story: marrying his wife in the first place. She sounds exhausting.
My mom isn't giving my stepson a stocking but it’s totally not a huge thing because he basically doesnt matter and wasnt supposed to be there. And if you keep asking me questions im gonna embarass you barry
You watch React Court because you want to be entertained. I watch React Court because I want to be angry. We are not the same.

"I refuse to ask for anything left out of my food" is what that restaraunt story boils down to
And not only that, I refuse to manually edit the food after it is served.
@@RikkaisLaw yeah order the steak salad and just give your husband the steak. It’s not like you’re a vegetarian where the steak touching the dish is a problem. You just prefer not to eat it so just don’t put it in your mouth
Also she didn't want to inconvenience the kitchen, but was perfectly fine messing up her entire family's outing and celebration for her husband.
@@Ragnell123 but the service workers…..
@@Ragnell123 surely it’s not even an inconvenience for the kitchen staff, it’s literally fewer ingredients to prepare
I'm done, that daughter's friend did the mother dirty 😭😭😭
The mom was just catching strays there
19:25 hearing kate laugh about NL's distasteful food story has me dying
"Well flash forward to now: She's 16. She's lived an extra one third of her life, and she has some different opinions than she used to have, which is CRAZY"
I laughing up blood, send help
I'm living for React Court, and the Honorable Judge Egg's snarky judgments
the thing about the fat insult thing is you are totally within your rights to be offended and to tell them it's not ok to say stuff like that and ask for an apology... but your window for doing all of those things was like, within the same night. a week later? you've missed your chance, grow up!
some of these dads are so spineless I am begging them to step up for their kids
The first OP was clearly already the bigger woman, she should start acting like it.
Based. Based. +2

41:54 Yeah, dude is probably an AH for not showing any appreciation for what she does at the house and also her desire to get a job, but she's also a little bit of an AH for not making appropriate plans for who's gonna pick the kids up that day of the interview, and also, sure, no her kids, but she chose to date a guy with kids. They will slowly grow to be pretty much her adopted kids if she stays with the guy. That "not my kids" card won't work forever.
If you've dated a parent for two years, and live with them, either they are your kids as well now, or you don't want to be their parent. Which means, you shouldn't be dating a parent
@@Frogylovescake exactly. And he may be the AH, but at the same, it's not easy being a single parent. Can't expect him to work, and then also be there 24/7. Plus, if the mom is out of the picture, I *have* to assume the judge favored him when they got the divorce (which is generally not the case, they tend to favor the mom); point being, he raised them for years and must've been at the very least not a bad dad. But we're getting into a little bit of head canon now 😅
That guy made it sound like his gf just decided one day to find a job and decide she's not picking the kids up from school anymore after 2 years of being a housewife, surely he's missing something out of the story.
Right? There’s no way his call was just to “remind her” to pick up the kids. It sounds like she does that every day. It can’t be that he calls to remind her everyday. Smells fishy to me
@@ribby9069 yeah, it's an obvious deceit. He is lying there. Something vital of the history is missing and in an attempt to try to look good he omitted it. If you are omitting stuff you are clearly wrong.
@@ribby9069 plot twist she’s the girl from 50 first dates so he has to call to remind her the kids exist every day
she must have told him she had the interview and couldn’t pick them up. the only thing he says he does for his kids is go to work, the bare minimum lol
@en- - exactly! Seems to me, She told him about the interview and being unable to pick them up. Probably argued and didn't actually come to an agreement so he called trying to back her into a corner.
All said, it does not sound like she is staying much longer.
In the blue-collar industry (construction specifically is my experience) it is very common for wives to pack a lunch for their husbands.

THE ONE PIECE
Tbh for the first one I can see it being an awkward way to compliment the dad's cooking and they may not have been terribly familiar with where the boundary was with comments about weight. You're still learning social skills at 14. I can also get being too embarrassed to face the mom about it and assuming that it would have blown over if nothing was said for a couple of months. I had a "trying to be funny and fit in" phase and it was then that I was at my most cringe.
Bro at 14 if you don't know not to call fat someone you're not overly familiar with then I don't know you're lost
Being a picky eater usually means that you'll need maybe 3 modifications to your sandwich or burger to be able to enjoy the meal. It feels wrong for the term to be so broad that it also encompasses people who will refuse to even attempt to eat anything at all from a normal ass menu even for someone else's special occasion. It really is an eating disorder at that point.
The most correct, sane, and reasonable TH-camr of all time is back.
Is nothernlion just the antithesis of the deranged and psychotic streamer Jerma985 aka 2ndJerma?

Great segment, as always!
Im sure he was joking about the school hours thing
The pool woman is so insane I genuinely feel bad for her family. There have been a lot of crazies and true assholes i think pool mom might be the worst person we have had on this series.
If ever a thread deserved to be on r/amithedevil that's it.
Worst person? Nahhh. I mean she's a little bit of a sucker, and definitely the AH, but she doesn't seem that terrible for being that resistant to losing $20k for her own stupidity 4 years ago.
There have been way worse people, for sure. Even the woman who refused to go to a steak restaurant in this episode were probably worse
@@DeathEaterLink Nah she isn’t just resistant to losing $20k she is literally trying to extort her child. Its just pure insanity and to do this because of something she said when she was 12?
It’s the kind of weirdo logic that leads to adultifying children in situations w actual adults
@@DeathEaterLink "losing $20k for her own stupidity 4 years ago."
This might just be the most disingenuous way to frame this situation possible.

ok mr rich man can go to the restaurant 100 times a year.
My favorite thing about the contract one is you can 100% get out of weirdo contracts if they are unreasonable as an adult. Like contracts really aren’t all powerful, more reminders if anything.
one of the best react court episodes. absolutely insane redditors acting like children over mundane inconveniences. the NL prime real estate. you love to see it
"Am I the asshole? I (27 yo crazy person) got into an argument with my loved one (3 yo toddler) where I powerbombed them through our coffee table for getting the hiccups too often. Am I the asshole?"
"Update: why is everyone against me on this?"
NL: *They don't sound good* "You don't go to a restaurant to hear food!"
I heard that react court had met its demise. Were those rumors perhaps greatly exaggerated?
The pool post is absolutely fantastic
Yo the person in the second AITA post is legit insane how are you this unreasonable
i was expecting the pool to be like yea we will get a pool but you gotta clean it but like man that ladys nuts
"i cant go on expensive vacations, since i am still paying of debt"
"yeah student loans suck"
"no from my parents swimming pool when i was 12"
Mother wants her daughter to pay for the privilege of raising the mother's real estate value. Daughter should "default" on her payment and simply "give the pool back" because I doubt she's getting money on the house's eventual sale anyway. Mother's principle-based parenting is only teaching the principle of exploitation in end-stage capitalism.
Holy peg, I was waiting for this to drop since I saw he streamed some just chatting earlier this week.
I’m loving this yearly NL binge, the react court and SAP episodes are phenomenal
"That is what we in the conversation business call an unforced error" absolutely sent me
Like 3 months ago, I proposed an idea for a skit to one of my friends. Really, they're just little hypotheticals for like "if we had a TV show, would this be funny?" The bit for this one was a character which wasn't aware that meals were made through the _process_ of "cooking." So, they don't understand conceptually that a salad is like a constructed thing, they think it just _comes_ like that, the same way that you just buy Spaghetti-O's and it's just known they're ready to eat right out the can. The joke was that they would hate a lot of foods because they never *prepared* anything before eating it. For instance they'd just take a box of Kraft macaroni and just eat the raw pasta and pour the cheese mix right into their mouth and wonder "why do they sell this? It sucks" and then gets their mind BLOWN when a friend reveals to them that's not how it's intended to live your life.
Imagine my surprise when today I learn this character architype ACTUALLY EXISTS with the lady in the second post. Everything in the restaurant presumably *has to be **_made_* bespoke or at the very least CAN be, the salad only being one example of it being trivial to remove an ingredient from. She said she didn't want to burden the chefs but it's insane to me she has no issues instead putting that burden on someone she _actually_ *cares* about. It's so nonsensical and backwards. I _NEVER_ say this but he's actually too good for her because he's doing a service she isn't returning, which is trying to make each others lives *better.* Obfuscating information to the kids to prevent her from "looking bad" when it is the facts that she literally just _is_ "bad" in this situation? OH MY HEART *BLEEDS* FOR THIS MAN! I am becoming the _Jokaire._
The Cyan one is literally the plot of You, Me and Dupree lol
Now that you've brought it up, "beckon call" makes more sense than "beck and call", never quite made the connection but always thought "beck and call" was the correct term of phrase.
Man, the post about the picky eater gives me flashbacks to my sister. She basically only eats chicken tenders and fries or chicken alfredo so my childhood was always trying to find a restaurant to please her. Even as an adult, she doesn't eat vegetables. I meant, shit, I don't eat pork for weird personal reasons and I'm allergic to shellfish but I can still eat at least like five dishes at almost any restaurant I go to. She's got anxiety issues and goes into a literal panic attack if her food is bad or burned. I'm convinced there's some kind of mental illness thing that has the side effect of being weird with food.
An interesting anecdote about a friend of mine, falling in the same category; since he was about 3 years old, his eating habits started to rapidly narrow. I think there was something about a traumatic experience then, but I don't remember that exact detail. Anyway, he only ate fries and Pizza Margherita for main courses for _over two decades._ Only sweets and snacks were exempt, which underlined what he himself knew to be true; that it was a kind of mental blockade preventing him from eating other food. Once he made up his mind to try to change, he ate something different maybe once in half a year - but that also only with apprehension. Then, he planned a vacation with other friends, to a foreign country, where he didn't want to limit everybody else's choice of restaurant, so he went to a hypnotiseur specializing in hypnotizing away eating disorders. After even a single session, he now cannot even really described as a picky eater - he's simply a run-of-the-mill vegetarian now. Still likes his Pizza Margherita though!
First lady: “yea I can drop it, as long as I get everything I want out of the situation and I don’t have to drop it”
Sad when child brains have children and fuck up their youth
In most places in america school starts around the bus schdule. So for instance when i was a child elementry started at 745 am and got done at 245, middle school started at 8 am and got done at 3 pm and high school started at 815 and got done at 315.
I don’t recall the daughters friend even being asked to apologize lol
this aita content always makes my day :D
Yeah the pool mom reminds me of when I'd have to pay my mom back every time she ordered a pizza, except this is an entire pool, and 4 years feels like a decade when you're that young
"It's okay cause my mom said he's like not even really a grandson, he's not even supposed to be in the area"
When you explained about waiting for someone else to do the math and just saying "yeah that sounds right" I felt exposed AF, it really do be like that :D
6:14 "eat that one up" killed me
As someone who has autism and is thus picky as a necessity, the restaurant lady is crazy lmao. I mean, literally just don't order? "I don't want to inconvenience the staff" - not using a sauce doesn't really inconvenience them + you're inconveniencing your husband right now.
As someone who cooks: marinated in a sauce and sauced later are two different levels. If it was chicken with a bourbon glaze then it's not that much to just cook it without. If it's marinated then it's already been in the sauce for hours. So unless they happen to have some that haven't been marinated yet it's not really possible.
I was more surprised that she couldn't even find a side/salad. Garden salads are definitely easier to modify.
@@punkrockllama Yeah ngl I was over simplifying cuz that lady was weird. Thank you for the food facts though!
She taught her daughter a lesson about money and cost by making her agree to pay back an incomprehensible amount in a timeframe that makes it completely meaningless.
If the custom stocking tradition is "on a baby's first christmas, we make them a stocking and hang it up as a decoration every year" then its totally fine to not include the 9 year old because the stockings are basically for babies.
If the tradition is "Every year we make new stockings for every kid and everyone gets gifts in the stockings" then its insane to not include the step son.
I mean even if it was the first one I’d still say you should make it for them. It’s not his first Christmas but it’s his first Christmas with the family
It's implied that the whole family has a custom stocking, and they add new ones for new kids.
Honestly though like, I don't get NL blowing up at the dad for that one when it's the grandma who's being a dick about it. He asked, she refused, what's he supposed to do disown his mother over a stocking? Man's trying to be a peacemaker and make sure the kid gets any Christmas time with the step family at all and the mother's decided to die on the stocking hill and sacrifice the whole holiday over it.
35:31 Im 16 and thats what I do in my head. I also failed math this semester..
The burger bit was way too funny😂😂😂😂
Death instead of demise just didn’t do it for me.
I don't get picky eaters. I am a little sometimes, but I still eat stuff I don't like. It doesn't matter if I don't like it, I've made my bed and I'll damn well lie in it.
Second AITA is what happens when picky eaters aren't stamped out early. No dietary requirements (beyond vague 'it gives me gas'), no allergies, no textural issues as far as I can tell, clearly not vegetarian or vegan, and if any of those things _were_ a factor, she should have brought it up a long time ago. Go enjoy your chicken nuggets and ketchup three meals a day, I gue-oh wait you don't eat fried foods.
Textural issues are also just being a picky eater
@@TheThunderbirdRising It is a picky eater cope they use when "it tastes bad" doesn't work so they pull the "its not the taste but the texture, you know". There's nothing wrong about the way onions or mushrooms or whatever feel in your mouth you are just being a child straight up.
@@8xottox8 i guess you eat literal slime from the grease trap then man. What the textures bad, cuz its certainly not the taste. Eat some okra and get back to me dude
The best content on youtube just dropped LETS GOOO
32:09 mere minutes after declaring he said was a vase guy, my man just subconsciously said the other version of vase. He doesn’t even know what the fuck is going on and tbh, neither do I.
Am I the asshole for pushing my mother in law into a well because of how NL pronounces "vase"? I'm a Vay-se guy, which I know makes me correct, but I'm wondering if maybe I was a little harsh, and should have simply pushed her down the stairs instead.
INFO: Did she survive?
@@flabberjiggles4825 Info: No. MORE INFO: She was a bitch who rescued kitties off the street even though she knew I'm allergic. She lives out of state and we only see her every couple of years, but is it really too much to ask her to release the 20 injured rescue kittens she keeps in a pole barn (seperate from the house, but still) back into the wild for four days in December when I'm coming to visit so I don't risk the sniffles?
She rescued them once, is rescuing them again too much to ask for a family member's comfort? I never asked for a lot.
NTA, she had it coming and also NL is pronouncing it wrong
"Hey, NL, great content cooking! No wonder you got so bald! 😄"
Lol at the fake Cyan story. AITA for not taking care of my sick/disabled wife after her surgery then trying to sabotage the friendship she made with the person that did.
I think that a 13 and 9 year old boys, especially more a 12-11 year old boy and an 8-7 year old boy can definitly tear up a house. Boys can really roughhouse
52:58 If you only knew... That's probably one of the most common arguments older generations use, it dumb af.
Please never stop doing these!
Question for someone who works at a restaurant: How much of a bother is it to exclude an ingredient from an order? Like peppered steak in salad for example.
If making the dish like normal is a 0 on the bother scale and your wife refusing to celebrate your promotion with you is a 10, where would you rank making the dish minus the thing the lady doesn't like?
A bit ambitious to think the people in the youtube comment section have jobs
@@kekchanbiggestfan Maybe you're right, no one replied after all. However, I think my post was a joke about the wife not wanting to celebrate promotion being a 10 on the bother scale. I don't even remember the story, but it just seems strange that I would make that the 10 unless I was poking fun at it.
But yeah, I don't remember the video or the story at all so idk.
I LOVE REACT COURT
y'all gotta like the video if you want the rumors of demise to stay rumors
1) Deny that $20000 agreement ever existed
2) Get phone and car revoked
3) Work to get $20000
4) Buy your own car and phone
5) Rekt
But more seriously, does she not realize that with a minimum wage part time job at 16 it would take like years to get $20k after taxes? What are you, trying to teach your kid the value of money without knowing it yourself?
No, this is kind of a good lesson. When she gets a credit card or a credit line she really needs to understand what how awful it is to start being hit with payments, well she doesn't need to but you can end up living really miserably for a good year or 2 if you fuck up. That said, I have no idea why you wouldn't just modify it and say, something like 50$ off of every paycheck until you pay back 500$ or something.
its no joke i need react court to survive
AITA for executing a few thousand dollar debt I pressured my 12yo daughter into?

Hey Baldy, I haven’t been keeping up with the vods since I am currently struck by a simultaneous influenza a and influenza b infection, but I appreciate the great work! I did manage to watch the Atrioc collab, and that was excellent.
(Also, do you shoeshine your head?)
The only reason besides true love to become a stay at home step mom of two kids is that money 😂
26:00 The dad is so annoying. He’s treating his gf like a free nanny. That guy thinks providing an income means you’re entitled to so much, and has no clue what day to day parenting involves. Or he DOES know, so he tries to avoid it. It’s emotionally taxing too. He also attempted to sabotage her job opportunity, perhaps subconsciously, to keep her dependent on his income.
Obligated friend/wife guy has another post a year later blaming his friend for his divorce, so there's that.
I am crying laughing here. this is so great.
Somebody is clipping these for when NL's daughter becomes a tween and he starts pulling his bald out, right?
NL should do a React Court video where he always takes the side of the AITA poster, and never drops the bit throughout the whole video. Would make these much better tbh
Play the devils advocate
basically, NL needs a nega-persona
