See, I really don't care for kids, don't think they're cute, don't want any of my own, and don't have any interest in talking about kid-related stuff, but this is really what it boils down to. Don't like kids, don't have them, but goddamn people are gonna have kids if they want them and you're going to lose a lot of friends if you actively hate the tiny humans that take up about 98% of their attention. Childfree weddings are childfree weddings, though. They may not be your cup of tea, but you don't bring uninvited guests to weddings, full stop.

You're also not special just because you don't have kids, and the fact that you're touting a 70 dollar dinner bill as proof that you are some sort of urbane and cultured person eating at expensive restaurants is legitimately hilarious That is how much a poor thinks an expensive steak dinner costs Don't you live in like loving Austin or something

The funny thing is that this thread whole heatedly agreed that drugging a retard against their will to make sure your wedding wasn't ruined was a good idea but for some reason asking that kids not be there is a horrible crime.

Not liking kids in a *insert public setting here* is the same as not liking anyone else you don't want at said public setting: complain to your partner/friends because literally no one else gives a poo poo. The parents paid to be there too. Just because you don't have kids doesn't mean you own the loving world on experiences. Edit: omg you literally think kids get special treatment, and should never be treated differently or tolerated differently than an adult. Nevermind. don longjohns fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Nov 14, 2017 |

Lord above, are we still on this goddamned wedding thing? She took extra precaution, gave people a heads up, had the wedding receptionist handle it when the kids came out to avoid making a scene, and is even still saying she's not going to bring it up during the holidays but is asking for advice on how to handle when they're around each other to make it less tense. It's really not that big of a deal. e: also why is anyone engaging with Three Olives

If I started screaming at a restaurant and banging my silverware on the table I would be asked to leave immediately as would any adult but parents think it is A-OK for their children to do it.

My girlfriend works as a waitress, a guy left his number on a note and my girlfriend says 'I consider texting him saying thanks and that I have a boyfriend'. I am dumbfounded to why she would consider that. Am I in the wrong here? (self.relationship_advice)quote:So I just spoke to my girlfriend, who is working as a waitress, and a guy today left a note with his phone number on it. At first we laughed about it. Then, she said "I've considered texting him saying thanks and that I have a boyfriend", which dumbfounded me quite a bit, I asked why she would do that. She said that it was brave to do, which I did not at all agree with, asking for your number face-to-face might be brave, but leaving a note is not brave, you are out the door anyway and does not have to face the rejection. I told her that I really could not see why she would even consider texting someone who leaves their number for her while she is waitressing, these guys do not want to be her friend. She told me she doesn't know why it really matters to me.

Otherwise, it makes this thread really unpleasant and distracting. To practice what I'm preaching: upon first read I thought, "yeah the bride is being petty." But then posters noted that she did shell out a ton of money for babysitting. And,as a father, I can identify with posters who said, "entitled parents who ignore rules are the worst." We parents get like ONE HOUR of free time a year, and I'll be damned if someone is going to bring kids to it while I'm busy trying to slam as much whiskey as I can during that hour. Still, I think the bride wondering if she should do something after the fact is silly, since it wont change the memory. So a little from column A , a little from column B, and dont hang out with that sister anymore. Also, three olives, Im remembering you telling that story about the no kids party and it being really funny. Like didnt you eventually find one kid outside loving with the landscaping or something?

re: the wedding story we are still discussing somehow- god loving drat, this is the whole problem with my generation. everyone is loving obsessed with culpability and technical rightness. no one can handle the incredibly obvious fact that sometimes you make all the plans and something goes awry and you have to deal with/accept something you didn't want and that you tried to prevent. loving GET OVER IT. you know who you punish by throwing the kids off the dance floor? not the mom, she knows you didn't want them there, you are giving her exactly what she desires by removing her kids- a victim angle. you do, however, hurt the kids who now feel like they did something wrong. yes yes, I know, you explicitly said no kids, and it's your wedding, and it's how you wanted it. you're still a loving rear end in a top hat for making a kid confused and sad for no reason. someone else did a thing, and now you are dealing with the fallout. loving welcome to life on earth.

Actually the mother is the rear end in a top hat for ignoring the clear and present rules of the wedding. The bride here is the victim of having some one try to sneak her wedding away from her and the bride did the right thing by removing the children

[VA] Roommate has picked the lock to the breaker and is cutting off power to my room in order to get me to bend to his will.(self.legaladvice)quote:The title explains the jist of it. I am a college student living with two other students in an apartment. We have all signed separate leases. One of my roommates has the power breaker located in his room, but I am fairly sure tenants are not supposed to be able to access the breaker. My roommate has begun to cut all power to my room if I do not take the trash out frequently enough for his liking or immediately clean something like a minor mess in the sink. How should I go about handling this? I study and do school work in my room and the possibility that my power could be cut while working on an assignment is very real. Even if we were able to make peace, I would not feel comfortable the rest of the year knowing he has that power over me.

Yeah dude the whole "but the children" angle sucks poo poo, imagine having one day where you want to be able to remember it for the rest of your life the way you wanted it to go, but no, the most important thing in the world is that you don't confuse some other person's kids whose mom can't go along with the request for the group. If that mom didn't want her kids going through that experience, consider not dragging them away from the professional nannies, yaknow, like requested? The people that use their kids as leverage to do things that they were asked not to are kinda lovely, it's fascinating to give them a free pass like nobody could have prevented it. The point at which mom went over and got the kids and took them on the dance floor is where things went wrong and soured the evening for multiple people, why on earth gloss over that?

You will realize as you watch others have weddings that the little details you obsessed over were insignificant and you will laugh at how important they were to you because literally none of the guests care if things were not perfect. poo poo happens, and the bride AND the mom should both loving get over it, because everyone else has already moved on.
