AITA for sending a guest home a little early?
u/GenerallyAwesome
I (M54) have two children, Elle (F24) and Harold (M26). We invited a houseguest Cathy (F17) to come and visit with Elle as they were good friends. Visits this long are normal where we live.
Everything was going well for a few weeks but then I found out that Cathy had lied about everything, her family, how many siblings she had, how much money her family as, basically everything. So I arranged to have her sent home. I think you can see why I wouldn't want a girl in my house who has been deceiving my whole family.
I think I did the right thing, but my son said I was an AH for sending her home early and without anyone to accompany her. AITA?

YTA and this is so far from the truth I don't even know where to begin. I'm "Harold"
Cathy never lied to you, we knew exactly who she was, you chose to get your information from other (unreliable) sources.
You didn't "arrange" to have her sent home, you told her to leave at 6am the next morning and didn't even check if she had money! If Elle hadn't given her some she would have been stranded somewhere and not at home.
You sent a 17 year old girl on public transportation for SEVENTY MILES.
I can't believe that you wrote this down after I told you exactly why you were the AH before I left to make sure Cathy was okay. And for those who are worried about her, she is fine and safe at home. No thanks to my father.
