To start off. I’m not a legal adult and my mother has a fiancée, we’ll call him A. A and I don’t have the best relationship, its very tense and every time we talk it ends in an argument.
Today for valentines day he took my mom out to dinner. When they came back, me and my sister saw that my mom had a takeout bag from a restaurant that’s considered casual. So me and my sister were making fun of him taking her there, playfully Ofcourse.
For more context, I’m very close to my mom and if I need breaks from school I tell her and she let’s me stay home because she trusts me and I communicate with her. And sometimes my attendance gets concerning (but way better than it used to be and I catch up easily and have very good grades). And I stayed home Thursday and Friday FOR A REASON.
And so after me and my sister made fun of A playfully, he got offended for some reason and brought up my absences and said I "Skipped School" {He didn’t know why i stayed home}. Which I absolutely did not, so I called him a bitch. Which he hates being called.
And if the reasons I stayed home are important;
Thursday I stayed home due to waking up with a headache (I have recurring migraines)
Friday I stayed home because I was very emotionally unstable (Sometimes I have days where I get super emotionally unstable to the point of breakdowns and panic attacks over very small things)
how old are you that you’re calling an adult a b*tch to their face?? your mom obviously messed up somewhere with parenting you if you think that is okay.

You might have had reasons to stay at home but you didn’t have a reason to make fun of him and call him a bitch.
This was very immature behavior all around and if you always behave like that with him it’s no wonder every conversation turns into an argument.
YTA. Good luck in the real world.
YTA. You shouldn’t make fun of him for their restaurant choice (rude) and definitely should not be calling anyone a bitch. The rest is irrelevant, but since you mentioned it, your absence excuses are weak too. I don’t know how old you are (14 vs 17), but the behavior displayed here is quite immature and I’d strongly encourage you to grow up and show a little bit of respect. Making fun of your mom’s fiance had no possible positive outcome besides you hurting his feelings, which you did, so congrats. What did your mother say about this interaction?
YTA. You don’t know the story behind why they went to that casual restaurant any more than he knew the story behind why you didn’t go to school. You made assumptions and acted like a brat, and he just gave back what you were giving him. Then you totally went off the rails and swore at him just because he didn’t eat your shit and smile about it. Even if you hadn’t said at the start that you’re a literal child, it’s clear from your behavior that you have a lot of growing up to do.
Honestly in this case YTA. Your antagonizing. It’s unfortunate that your mother is choosing to marry someone you obviously don’t like. You are however trying to get under his skin. You did, he retaliated, you doubled down. Yes he’s the adult and should rise above it, but he obviously knows you don’t like him so he’s not trying. I hope your mother realizes what she’s doing. You don’t have to like him, but you need to just leave him alone.
YTA. You have no understanding of simple common respect.
The fact that you feel perfectly ok speaking to adults like that, how’s the level of maturity is extremely poor.
You excuses for missing school, are also highly doubtful.
YTA. He took your mom out for Valentine’s Day. Maybe it was what he could afford, maybe they wanted something casual. You can dish it but you can’t take it kid.
YTA.. Why do you think calling an adult a bitch is ok?? That’s pretty immature of you and bully type behavior! Your excuses for staying home are lame AF. Headache? Take some meds and get your butt to school ..a little emotional? Get over it and understand the world doesn’t revolve around you. You think when you’re an adult with a job those will be acceptable reasons to call out? Think again! Your mother has a lot more parenting to do
YTA
You’re insulting and mocking her BF
You and your sister both sound very immature
Yta. And your title is wrong. It should be “Aita for belittling my mothers boyfriend.”
You had no reason to go after him like that. Honestly, your mother should have stepped in and stopped you.
Frankly sounds like she should have raised you better if you really can’t see the issue with what you did. Grow the hell up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if your mom and her fiance went where she she wanted to go! A lot of guys let their partner choose, because they want them to be happy! You don’t know what you don’t know. And then you had the guts to call him that? The nerve of some people’s children. By far, YTA!
