r/AITA My Mom Stole All My Money

2nd story: No, RSlash, the parents deserve a score of 4.5 or higher. This is literally a golden child / scapegoat child situation. OP needs to go crash with a friend.

Story 2: For every smug entitled brat, there's more often than not a fawning, enabling FAILURE of a parent.

4:26 "You're basically being a clown in a digital circus" Dude. Say that again.

First Story, NTA: Crazy how OP's mom says OP is bad with money but she blew $6k over a period of time. OP is now an adult and shouldn’t need his mom's permission to access money given to HIM.

Story 4: I don't know if he was "taking it out on the new Nicole", it sounded to me like he was just making it clear that Chelsey had told him a bunch of things about someone else. OP definitely COULD have been rude about things but it's not super clear how his delivery was. It says New Nicole was visibly upset but honestly my first interpretation was that she was upset with Chelsey not OP because I'd certainly been upset with my friend if they sold someone else a bunch of lies to get them to go on a date with me (assuming that New Nicole is actually a friend of Chelsey's and not just a random person who shares the name because "she found a new Nicole" could mean either, but even then it's still upsetting and just kinda weird to do)

The digital circus bit made me feel like a sleeper agent being awoken

The dress story: if OPs direct family is close to the extended family, op should bring this to them, and let the flying monkeys shame the parents into compensation.

Imagine going out of your way, finding someone named Nicole, and befriending her. That is dedication, and just plain insane not to mention like I imagine really hard to do. Then she has to get her interested in going out with this OP, and then what? I mean, what did she honestly think was gonna happen? And did she tell the new Nicole the truth prior to the incident, because if so holy crap and if not I wish I knew that story.

story 2, NTA: it was ops dress that SHE bought with HER money, not only did she have the right to uninvite the sister from her birthday, but she should've made the sister pay back every cent

Id say last OP wasn't taking it out on the new Nicole she was letting her know that her "friend" is a liar who set her up to fail. If Nicole knew about the setup she deserves the awkwardness of it all. If not she should be glad he discreetly informed her of the deception.
