No it's a prison sentence she'll never want to talk to him again. In 20 years when he's dying and they'll ask her to come to the hospital she'll say "no. He grounded me for trying to hook up with men when I was 16."

I am wondering what goon parents would do if their daughter, 16 years old, was on loving Tinder. Or Ashley Madison. gently caress, she got off pretty light, but he should have probably talked more with her about why this was a big deal (of course he might have tried, a screaming teen girl totally listens).

The people who aren't saying she's an adult or whatever, I kinda assume they just had a childhood like mine where all discipline was done without communication and so they never learned anything other than how to lie from their punishment. I hope that's what's happening here. Though I will say that you shouldn't dole out punishment when you are angry and your spouse isn't around. Cool off, talk out the best way to go, go from there.

Lol I investigated CP rings as part of a prior job and investigate human trafficking as part of my current job and one of the last things I did with the supremely good insurance on that prior job was to get snipped because it's real hard to ever want to have kids after seeing/hearing the poo poo I did so uh good on the pops for dropping the hammer on his kid.

AITA for rejecting an animal as a gift? My daughter's turtle of 5 years died (was injured so we took care of it) she was heartbroken as we all were. Our neighbor who is a close family friend decided to catch and "gift" a wild turtle. I explained my wife and I can not accept it. That turtles depending on species have an insane amount of needs and a wild turtle would need a large enclosure to be happy among other things. Basically everyone is calling me ungrateful, wife sees nothing is wrong. I have yet to inform our 13 year old since I am hoping i can convince the family friend to release it from where they found it. So.. AITA? What should i do? Note: there are no animal sanctuaries for animals like this where i am from. Edit: typo Edit 2: Update: Thought it might get lost in the comments. The short of it is after reading about diseases and about basic misery it would be in my wife agrees to not accept it. We will be talking to the neighbor and again gently encourage he release it where he got it from (as close as possible). No there are no animal rescues here... Animal control or what passes for it simply kill animals. Primary focus would be more cats or dogs (spay neuter and release). Wild animals... Not a concern sadly. Thank you everyone for your feedback.

WIBTA for divorcing husband over his past sperm donation? Married for 8 years, have one child (3F) together When we started dating he was very clear that he had donated sperm in the past I never asked him how much but just assumed it was just a couple of kids Actually ask him last week and he tells me the fertility centres last updated him at 47 kids I was... Not expecting that many. It's clearly my fault for not asking how many. At the time, I literally said I "didn't care" about his sperm donation and "didn't want to know", so I can't blame him for not telling me how many. I literally told him not to. ....But 47?! Christ!!!! I can't stop thinking about all the problems this will cause when we're older. WIBTA for divorcing him for something that he was very upfront about?!?! Edit: I forgot to mention. All the kids are legally entitled to his contact details when they turn 18

AITA for telling my cousin he is being unreasonable and a dick for not having a microphone at his wedding? My cousin got married. I was in attendance with 250 other people. The couple decided to do the whole ceremony without having anyone use a microphone. This led to me, and the 30-some other attendees with hearing loss not hearing a single word. My hearing aids couldn't even make up for that. The groom's brother is Deaf, and also has hearing aids, and he also had a completely blank look on his face, because hey, we couldn't hear anything. Neither could any senior. I was talking to my cousin several weeks after the wedding, and I mentioned the lack of microphone, and he told me "it was a $20 surcharge, so we decided you could all go without." I told him that since I drove the two hours one way to his wedding, I'd have liked to have had a shot in hell of hearing it. And I'm sure his brother would have liked to as well, along with everyone else who complained after that they couldn't hear a word. Again, he mentions this surcharge. I told him he was being unreasonable, and a dick for not even thinking that HIS OWN BROTHER, would be sitting there with nary a clue as to what was happening., and that I'd have given him the stupid $20 so that we, mostly the brother, could feel INCLUDED. he called me a bitch, and an rear end in a top hat for questioning his wedding. AITA? Edit: the only reason why this was brought up was because he asked what I thought of his vows. I had to tell him I couldn't hear em'. Again, he has a deaf brother Double edit: mY GOD THIS BLEW UP. Anywyas, I've had quite a few people asking why I dissed his wedding, the truth is, he asked me first, and that conversation went as follows: "hey mmmmaplesyrup, I noticed you didn't laugh at my vows, was my humor above you?" Oh, no cousin, I didn't hear them, I notice you didn't have a microphone" "oh yeah, it was $20, so we decided you all could go without, (bride's) family could hear them fine" "oh really? I mean for $20 I'd have paid to make sure we were included, I mean I know (brother) didn't hear anything and i don't think (other family members) did either" "oh, you didn't use your listening ears. Too bad for you" "hey man, we couldnt hear because most of us have a lot of hearing loss, it's genetic remember? "well I don't have that problem, you all use that as an excuse to not be in the army"

The effort to monitor his daughter's online habits more closely. Severe punishments require severe effort to enforce them. Not all 'nice' parents are lenient out of empathy or trust- a lot of time they are just really goddamn lazy because following through on a punishment takes work.

Why are the kids legally entitled to his contact information when they turn 18? I'd never really considered it before but that seems...odd. Sperm banks exist entirely so that women can get pregnant without needing to personally know the father; surely that works in reverse, too? What if the donor doesn't want to know anything about any kids he's fathered? God drat 47 kids. Hope he doesn't live in a small town

My brother (30s, m) is newly engaged after his wife died and I (20s, f) am having a hard time with his behavior. Hi all! My brother recently got engaged to a new woman (30sish, f) after his wife of 10 years died. This engagement comes three months after she lost her battle with cancer. I feel conflicted, as I know I have no place to tell him what to do with her interpersonal relationships. However, his callousness towards his deceased wife and his jumping into a new relationship right after her death is affecting how I feel towards him. There are a few sort of "red flags" in his behavior that bother me. He posted on facebook to announce his engagement. His former brother in law (deceased wife's brother) commented that it was just raw to see him move on so fast. My brother then wrote back "She wasn't the wife or mother she wanted to be for the last 18 months." The way he went about it seemed to be that it was easier to move on because she wasn't being attentive. She had cancer had been on her deathbed. Another point is that new fiance looks EXACTLY like old wife. In a weird way, it seems like they are just trying to replace the old wife. On the same facebook announcement, new fiance had responded to the brother in law that the kids needed a mother and she intended to fill that role. Maybe it's not my business, but replacing someones mother after her death seems rather callous. Overall, where I'm looking for advice and my main question is, am I overstepping? I haven't said anything to him about this, but it really is affecting how I feel about him. Obviously he must be going through a lot as a dying spouse can't be easy, but it seems like he's moved past it and just wants to start a new life with his new replacement wife where his kids can have a new replacement mother. TL;DR: My brother got engaged 3 months after his first wife died, and his behavior afterwards has been affecting the way I see him.

Ancestor donated land to a college with a stipulation that his descendants can attend for free with proceeds from donation. One of my ancestors donated money and land to a college in MA, in his will, with the stipulation that "any of his kin" can attend for free with proceeds from the donation given they are accepted with their own merit. The will is dated way more than a 100 years ago, but the college is still active with one of their building named after this man. My grandmother always talked about this when I was younger (her maiden name is the same as this man), but me nor any of the family gave it any thought. Years later, after the internet became a thing, we were contacted by a distant relative doing research into the family background. After a lot of research I managed to find a copy of the will online and save it. I am wondering if this is something worth pursuing for my son(2)? If so, where do I start? What kind of lawyer would even specialize in this? We live in MI

The quote is just crass as gently caress, even if it's not meant to be.
