If you tell your kid they’re grounded for an entire year and make a huge deal about it you should actually be willing to follow through on that otherwise you just look like you’re full of hot air. I doubt the daughter’s punishment is going to last anywhere near that long.

My (27m) boyfriend (32m) is upset he spends more money when I'm around.quote:First off- we have been together just over six years and things were going well. So I'm feeling extra hurt over this, because when he said we needed to talk I thought it was something like "are you ready for marriage" etc. So I'm feeling pretty upset and maybe a little angry, too. We have lived together for five years. I financially supported us for a year and a half of it while he was unemployed due to depression, and he is only working again because I handed him a job with my company. (That being said he excelled as a worker and worked his way up the ranks quickly- we now have the same job at different locations.) Dump your cheapskate boyfriend and consider dating me. My only redeeming quality is that i will never tell you that you are overspending on homecooked meals.

She's going to go behind their back to talk to a pedo/potential rapist. A lot of girls run off with older boyfriends or get raped or worse and they're trying to stop that. It's not like this is a year difference. It's a middle school kid with an adult. They wouldn't even be in the same school together to meet so it's not some naturally occurring relationship that happened during class. Daughter probably needs to be told exactly why they're doing it, though, and dad there should be talking to the cops so at least the pedo is on their radar. Hell, maybe having the daughter hear some horror stories from female cop would help. She definitely should be grounded from having a phone/internet for a while though, except for school stuff which is almost done with for summer anyway. The daughter keeps doing this and they're going to have a hell of a summer trying to keep her away from the guy. She's 14 and I can't imagine the parents are going to be off all summer too.

AITA For bringing/eating fast food at social events?quote:My wife and I are having apocalypse-level debates on a new pet peeve of hers. Twice in the last week, circumstances have put us on a tight schedule and have forced us to grab breakfast on the road. On Easter Sunday, I went to church with her and her family. She woke me up 1.5 hours early, then tried again 1 hour out and 45 minutes out, knowing I am hard to wake. Finally, we were down to the wire and I quickly got ready and out the door. I wanted coffee on the way to service and although she said she didn't want anything, I got coffee and breakfast. We were close to the service location so we arrived in no time. We were 15 minutes late at that point so she didn't want me to eat in the car and be even more late but was mortified when I brought it with me and ate as I walked into the church. The usher commented on my Dunkin Donuts bag as we walked into her parent's church and we proceeded to get into a stage-whisper argument in the church lobby about how embarrassed she was that I brought a croissandwich into church. Less than five days later, we are in transit to her sister's college graduation. My wife, knowing I'd want to sleep til the last possible second, went and grabbed breakfast and brought it home well in advance of departure time. I waited until the last second to get ready so she offered to drive saying, "I'll drive so you can eat on the way to the event" (20 minute drive). I was on my phone most of the drive and waited until we were in the parking lot to pull out my breakfast and proceeded to eat the fast food in the lobby of the facility where the graduation was taking place. My wife was, again, mortified. Understandably, she gave me the opportunity to eat in transit to avoid being upset; but I don't think it's that big of a deal to bring food into these events. She's concerned with etiquette and how it looks to other people but it doesn't matter to me.... AITA?

Anyone weird about spending too much on food/that only buys for one specific diet and refuses anything else in the house/that refuses to eat anything that isn't prepackaged/etc. isn't a fit mate. Like I get eating healthy and not spending thousands a month eating out or on weird fad diets and poo poo, but if someone is complaining about home cooked meals they're loving nuts. Good food is good. Good food isn't always cheap. Shut up and shove some in your maw.

Taking the daughter to another country honestly seems like a great way to get her away from the creepy older dude for a while, canceling that is going to do nothing but really piss her off and leave her in the same country as the creepy dude. That's one of those "cut off my nose to spite my face" sort of punitive measures.

You know, when I was 14, I was a high school freshman and plenty of girls I knew dated seniors, so I guess I just realized I'm not taking this as seriously I should, because it was normalized for me. My first boyfriend was 17 when I was 14, which isn't that far from this and it wasn't a good thing for me at all. I still think they wildly escalated the punishment and it's not fair because there's no way she could know the consequences would be that severe. They could maybe try to remember what being a kid feels like.

DemoneeHo posted:AITA For bringing/eating fast food at social events? I hate whoever wrote these. Yes, rear end in a top hat, it is not acceptable to eat and drink in church. As for the 14 year old, depending on the school they could plausibly be on the same campus if HS runs 9th to 12th. The cops should still be given a heads-up, while the girl should have to hear about the kind of horror stories that happen when adults go after kids.

My friend just mentioned the grandpa in Willy Wonka and it made me think of the arranged marriage sham lesbian whatever Four's Company immigrant couple from yesterday. Why and how were 4 people on the same bed? If his wife is like a sister to him, why be there when they're going at it? I can see why guys want to be there to see lesbians going at it, but why would the lesbian couple want to be there with him getting his? He writes off poo poo as cohabitants seeing each other in states of undress, but that's far aflung from being present for them going at it. And again four adults, one bed, why?

AITA for insisting my friend not basically have her tits on display all weekend at Stagecoach festival? So as most of you know this weekend is Stagecoach in Indio. It’s a huge country music festival and is so much fun. I’ve had a miserable year and have basically been counting on this as a way to turn things around and get happy again. I’m 32 and I came with some friends from work who are a bit younger than me. Last night we went to the shows and the youngest one basically wore the lowest cut top I’ve ever seen without a bra you could essentially see her entire boob and if she moved right her nipples popped out. I asked her if she knew that and she said “I’m trying to get back stage! Wooooo.” I told her that this isn’t Coachella and during certain shows there might be kids and families. She literally took another shot and ignored me. I sent a group text out that maybe we needed to have a chat about what is and isn’t approriate for our group and said “having your tits on a platter just isn’t cool.” Apparently this offended most everyone because they ditched me and I had to walk to the show by myself. At the end of the night I caught up with them and they said I needed to steer clear of them for the whole weekend (we also had a minor argument on the drive up over gas money) and they would make sure I got back to Albuquerque but they didn’t want anything to do with me. So this really sucks. I do have a friend that is driving down from Vegas so I won’t be totally alone and I’m thinking about driving back with him and just flying home on Monday. I honestly don’t think I did anything wrong but since the whole trip has broken down and I’m in an awkward Airbnb right now with people who aren’t speaking to me, am I the rear end in a top hat?

AITA for yelling at my fiancé for pranking me by locking me out his truck or did I completely over-react? TLDR; My birth mother was physcially and emotionally abusive growing up and would frequently pretend that certain things didn't happen when they did, and would blame my "recreation of certain stories" on my TBI. Growing up I had some issues with my mother in regards to her physcially and verbally abusing me. The biggest issue that I've had trouble getting over is the fact that she would frequently pretend certain things never happened and that I was either making the situation up, or that I was remembering the memory incorrectly due to a TBI I suffered from when I was younger. When my fiancé and I started dating, we at one point sat down and talked about our pasts and how certain things were triggers for us and how certain topics/jokes weren't okay due to our past histories of being abused. Tonight while we were helping his friend move out of their house, he and his friend locked me out of the truck. At first I thought it was funny, but after multiple attempts of trying to get into the truck, knocking on the windows and asking them to open their door they continued to intentionally ignore me. Five minutes went by before my fiancé opened his door and asked me, "hey are you getting in, we've been waiting on you this whole time." I was immediately upset and asked him why they locked me out of the truck, to which he responded, "Honey the doors were unlocked the entire time" and proceeded to open one of the doors that I know he unlocked right before he jumped out of the truck. At this point I get very upset and I start to yell at him and say that I watched him and his friend lock all of the doors to the truck. He continues the joke for a moment while I get increasingly upset and then he said, "honey it was just a joke. It was a little prank, I'm sorry." I was so mad at that moment and went off on him in front of his friend which I KNOW was innapropiate. I told him that that was one of the few things he could've done to me that makes me livid, and that it honestly scared me to think that somehow I managed to make up the whole thing in such a short moment. It made me completely doubt myself, and for a second I actually thought I made it up in my head. I know it's stupid but after that happened it made me not trust him, because he knows my mother used to do that to me so why would he do that? During this I began to question if I wanted to marry him. I need to know if my trauma made me over-react, and if telling him I needed to re-think our marriage was innapropiate. I feel absolutely awful, he needs some space away from me and I feel like I gucked the entire thing up. AITA?
