    Font - AITA for making my younger sisters fly home early after they followed my husband? I have two younger sisters who are 15 and 17. They came to visit my husband and I on what was supposed to be a 5-week trip. Unfortunately, it had to end early after they were caught following my husband while he was having dinner with a client.

    Font - I told them they had to leave immediately because I could tell my husband was close to exploding and even though they kept begging me to hear them out and to let them stay I wouldn't. I called our dad to let him know they would be coming home early and why which didn't go over well. My stepmother wanted me to let them stay until the morning so they would fly back in the daytime but I told her it wasn't possible and they had to leave immediately. I'm supposed to be visiting soon but my sis

    Font - The reason my husband was so angry is because the client was the one who noticed them taking pictures of them and when he confronted them they were rude to her and to him. AITA?

    Font - freddiQ 16 hr. ago Is this possible his client is an attractive woman and they thought he was cheating on you and were trying to gather evidence? This sounds like something 15 and 17 year old sisters could do, no? 26.1k Reply Share

    Font - Ambitious_Thing_440 16 hr. aga - S This is immediately why I thought they'd be following him. And again, while inappropriate, we are talking about teenagers who don't make the best decisions. Perhaps they were concerned about their big sister? Perhaps the husband was going to "explode" because he did in fact get caught? We don't know, since the OP didn't allow them to explain and sent them home. Worst case scenario, it was a bad call on the girls' part but OP should at the minimum care fo

    Font - kitkat_0706 14 hr. ago 5 & 7 More Maybe husband was about to explode because he was about to lose a big client??? Jfc men and women work together all the time, and some people are attractive. Losing certain clients can mean losing thousands upon thousands of dollars. It isn't a joke. And what those girls did was extremely inappropriate behaviour and I can only imagine that the client was probably pissed off and possibly not interested in working any longer with the husbands company.

    Font - GodspeedandGoodn ight . 13 hr. ago People are no longer (or honestly, never have) making judgements based on the facts in the post. It's become a combination of projection + pop- psychology buzzwords. It's division of labor, gaslighting, narcissistic, missing missing reasons, etc. Not that any of that has anything to do with "AITA for forgetting to close the toothpaste", but that won't stop some people. 1.8k Reply

    Font - teflon2000. 13 hr. ago It always reminds me of that thing (we all did it) where you learnt a new word and overused it to death in essays at school because you thought it made you sound smart. Then you got older and realised being smart actually means getting to the point. 269 Reply

    Font - Good QueenFluffenChop 13 hr. ago. edited 13 hr. ago They're very much trying to underplay the girls actions. They're trying to play as "kids will be kids" moment because they're teens. Was this a young dumb teen moment? Yeah probably. That doesn't shield them very real consequences of their actions though. They messed up and being hidden away and coddled from their consequences instead of being guided into making it right with genuine apologies isn't going to help in the long run. 584 Rep

    Font - GodspeedandGoodn ight • 13 hr. ago. edited 13 hr. ago People like to act like actions here happen in a vacuum. The problem is, this (and most other) behavior here doesn't happen in a vacuum. There's a non-zero chance he faces consequences for this at work. The client is the one who noticed the children taking photos of them, and when they were called out, the teens were rude to the client.

    Font - Yeah, the client should understand that kids can be holes, but clients also don't have to work with anyone they don't feel like working with. Do these same people agree that this was too far if he ends up getting suspended or fired from work over this? 438 Reply

    Font - Economy Entrepreneur9 13 hr. ago hole Enthusiast [8] Spot on. And I would add the "rage" issues that commenters assigned to OPS spouse for being angry about this. It's amazing how people will assign their judgement then twist the narrative or say something completely stupid to support it. The lack of empathy is amazing. They pick their side and it's like they think they are part of a debate team and have to defend their side no matter what.

    Font - You also nailed it by mentioning the buzzwords in a later post. Those in particular drive me crazy since they are used in place of meaningful conversation and explanation of viewpoints. Well said. 171 Reply S
