I’m a dad of two kids in the Midwest. My son, John (17m) and a daughter Brit (17f) both in high school.
Brit has a close friend, Melissa. For the past several months, John had been helping Melissa with things due to her mom working crazy days/hours (nurse). John helps with rides to work and a college prep class they are taking together. John and Melissa work at the same place on the same schedule three days a week, and we live in a small town with no public transportation. They’re both in a dual enrollment program that lets high school students take college-level courses. Passing these classes is basically required to enter in the program they’re pursuing. John was both her ride to/from and her study partner which John is academically inclined… must get that from him mother lol.
John developed feelings for Melissa and eventually asked her out. She politely declined and said she wanted to focus on her education but wanted to remain friendly. I think that’s completely fair, and she handled it the best anyone could ask from another person.
After being turned down, John decided to stop giving Melissa rides and told me and his sister that he didn’t want her coming over anymore because he needed space to get over his feelings. I initially told him that was unreasonable and that rejection is part of life and that he needed to be mature and handle it better. Sure it’s not easy but he was to smart not to know what the outcome would be if she turned him down.
We talked it through more calmly later and honestly I was impressed with how he reflected on it. He realized he was acting emotionally, apologized to his sister, and explained that continuing to be around Melissa was making it harder for him to move on. He wasn’t rude to her, didn’t lash out, and didn’t blame her he just set boundaries which I thought was healthy and the mature thing to do.
The problem is that Melissa now doesn’t have a ride to work or to the prep class, and she’s at risk of being dropped from the program and possibly losing her job. I think she’s missed a fair amount of work. As for the class John claims that she would probably be dropped if she misses two more classes.
Brit is furious. She says John is being spiteful and punishing Melissa for rejecting him. I told Brit she needed to stop and to leave it alone. I explained that Melissa doesn’t owe John a relationship but John also doesn’t owe Melissa continued friendship, rides, or any kind of labor. I also told her that blaming John for consequences he didn’t cause on purpose was immature and unfair.
Brit refused to drop it and started an argument where she said some things that were out of line toward her brother. At that point, I grounded her and although we’ve had some talks, I don’t think we’ve made much progress.
I have not told John to resume helping Melissa, nor do I intend to. I don’t think forcing him to ignore his feelings to fix someone else’s situation is fair, but I do feel bad. Melissa’s mom struggles enough due to being a single mother and Melissa losing her job and being dropped from the program seems like a a lot for two people already struggling.
So, AITA for not making my son continue helping my daughter’s friend?

I, 19F, am in a long-term relationship with 20M. Recently I've been noticing that when it's time to go down on him, he has a noticeably bad stench. I mentioned it to him and also saw that the outside of his underwear seemed to have skid marks on them...???? He confessed that in order to save on laundry/water, he wears one side of his underwear for a few days before flipping them inside out and then continues to wear it for a couple more days. was shocked and honestly disgusted- I even considered breaking up with him. I've never really noticed that he had poor hygiene so this came as an utter shock to me. I tried to tell him he needs to fix this and change his underwear daily, but he wouldn't listen.
His excuse is because he's "a broke college student." Ew.
I just have to ask, is this normal? Should I be absolutely disgusted and turned off by this? Should I break up with him? really need help on what to do
