Everyone has their own pet peeve, something they cannot stand and will make no exception for. I know that mine is definitely when people forget to communicate the smallest detail of information and forget to even remember it for themselves. Being organized, put together, and in a timely manner shouldn't be too much to ask for? Show up on time and don't forget to take care of your sh*t!  Communication looks different on many levels, especially within a family dynamic. 

In today's AITA post, we will hear about the struggle of poor communication in a family with only one child. Shouldn't be so hard to take care of one child right? There's nothing wrong with admitting that even the smallest thing can be very frustrating and even more so when yoursignificant other forgets to inform or communicate you. This story also brings up the idea of taking accountability for your responsibilities and when you f*ck up instead of blamingothers.  

Well, let's read below to understand what's going on.

    Font - My kid (17M) just graduated high school and will be a freshman at Southern California in the fall. He doesn't drive right now but will be getting his license in July. The community we live in is doing a summer band that meets on Tuesdays in June from 7:00-8:30PM and he joined it. At our church I have been assigned chair of the Associate Pastor Nominating Commitee that will meet every Tuesday at 5:30PM from now on so now my wife is the one that has to drive him to summer band.

    Wow big deal Associate Pastor. Why can't your kid take himself to band practice?

    Font - Well, when he first started, I told her before I left for work the day he first started to write it on the calendar in the kitchen while she was nearby so we wouldn't forget. Today, I got home at about 6:50 and noticed she had just had gotten dinner ready. I asked her if she forgot about the summer band and she said yes. I then asked her if she had written it on the calendar and she said she forgot to do it. I then asked my son if he forgot too but he said no and he was waiting to see if

    Font - mm172 - 8 hr. ago Sultan of Sphincter [625] YTA. he said no and he was waiting to see if she remembered Well, your son's learned a valuable lesson: don't wait for other people to remember your important commitments for you, let alone sit around and wait for them to notice you need something from them instead of speaking up. You really shouldn't be undermining that. (Although frankly, the fact he didn't make an issue out of it suggests he doesn't want to go that badly anyway, so...)

    Font - lynncross2001 - 8 hr. ago Partassipant [4] Your son is 17 and headed to college...now is a good time to act like the young adult he is and voice that he needs to be somewhere he needs to take responsibility for his actions. You two can write on a calendar just as well as she can. Yes you both are the AH

    Font - Renegade Angel 3 hr. ago Honestly it's clear to me that he did in fact forget but decided to blame it on mom in the last moment instead of owning up to it.

    Smile - [mAPixiePrincess. 7 hr. ago I doubt he wanted to go. That's what I get out of that statement. If he really wanted to go he'd be incessantly bothering people to get there.

    Font - LilBit1207.7 hr. ago. edited 3 hr. ago Right?! His son graduated from high school and is going to college soon and he refuses to remind his mom about HIS practice because he "wanted to see if she would remember!" That's ridiculous and immature, if the parents forgot it's up to him to remind them or he could've written it on the calendar himself!!

    Font - Weesa729.5 hr. ago Kind of sounds like the 'men' treat the woman poorly, judge her and assume she is stupid, when in reality, a family is a Unit and should support one another. OP & his son ATA, the wife, while forgetful, seems to be their victim. No one looks great here, the men much less so than the wife.

    Font - AuntJ2583. 7 hr. ago Additional info: why didn't you write it on the calendar instead of asking your wife to? Alternatively, why didn't you ask your son to put it on the calendar?
