r/AITA Siblings Want to Steal My $150,000 Inheritance

Nah, I’m on the third OP’s side, she was clearly joking and her friends trying to make her out as if she’s a demon is heinous. She apologized when her joke didn’t land and hurt Nolan’s feelings, there’s no indication that she isn’t willing to take lessons, like, what else is she supposed to do? Just because someone got offended doesn’t mean they’re right.

> story about deaf firstly, op didn't at any point expect her deaf friernd to "teach" them secondly, the other friend is more of an AH than op, in my opinion. while op made insensitive joke and apologised for it after that (I think pretty genuinely), that other friend intruded into other people's business and shamed op for seemingly the sake of attacking someone

"This doesn't have to end us" BUDDY. YOU ENDED "US"!! The audacity of some people!

Third Story, NTA: Huh? Maybe I’m hearing this wrong but didn’t OP already know sign language and genuinely wanted to befriend this guy who is deaf? I mean, yeah OP shouldn’t have made that joke it was insensitive but everyone makes bad jokes and OP apologized after. I don’t know my judgement for this one. Yeah after listening to this again, it wasn’t even the deaf friend that wouldn’t let things go, it was the other friend. OP and the deaf friend made up but this other friend is the one who is trying to start unnecessary drama and problems. I have to disagree with Rslash here. All OP did that could be considered wrong was tell that joke, anything else OP did nothing wrong. This is a case of making nothing into something

So Opie is the only person that even bothers to try to talk to the deaf person in their own language.... and people are calling Opie the ahole? For a joke. Not even a bad joke. That's something that should have been laughed off.

Second Story, NTA: Why is Amy upset? She clearly is anxious about her baby being away from her so OP simply returned the baby to her. What it seems like is Amy wants to supervise OP remotely and not trust that OP can take care of her baby. If Amy has this bad of anxiety with leaving her baby with a friend for so long, she shouldn’t have asked OP to have the baby overnight

Story 3: This is such a mess and it doesn't have to be. First off, OP apologised for their poorly executed joke and the friend forgave them for it. The joke only came about because he told OP to get back into lessons, which is slightly condescending on his end too. He's right, he's not OP's teacher so it's not really up to him (whether as a deaf or hearing person) to say that to OP. But at the same time, the best way to learn a language is from native speaking people. So despite you not owing being someone's teacher, if you want someone to learn your language, don't flame them for practicing with you. That's literally the whole point of learning. There's only so much you can learn from books, YT videos or tutors; you have to put your skills into natural practice at some point. That last friend was absolutely a bigot and OP called him on his bs. So overall it's a NTA score for me.

Story 2 no wonder the first kid has a hard time getting used to a sibling, cuz she’s a helicopter parent 🫩

Deaf story: Nope, OP did nothing wrong. A joke was said, it was taken the wrong way, and OP immediately apologized. No wrong was committed. I have a feeling that third “FrIeNd” has a victim complex and is blowing this while thing out of proportion, stirring the pot for the sake of drama.

Bro what? Treating a deaf person any different from other friends and walking on eggshells about what you say to them sounds way more ableist than just joking with them. NTA
