If you are planning on giving your child a device, plan when you are going to give it to them, and plan a 'savings' fund that they are a part of that will come to fruition when you were planning to give it to them anyway. Or just make sure your kid treats fancy tech with a level of respect and care. I treated my Game Boy like it was a present from the Queen. That said, those things are pretty durable, battery covers aside.

Extreme LoL at Phone-Dad’s wife’s friends saying that giving your daughter a lovely phone is too harsh. loving Millenials (I’m 31, we’re the 2nd worst generation) acting like a cell phone is a right, it’s disgusting. My therapist has two kids and he got them special apple watches that can only call and text he and his wife’s phones and like 10-15 numbers they have to approve, it was like $250. That seems reasonable to me, but if my daughter ever turned to me and said “why don’t you get a better job so I can have a nicer phone” ha ha ha that’s a good one sweetie now go lie down in the sleeping bag in the garage and when you’re ready appreciate everything we’ve done for you you can come back inside. Stand up to your kids folks. It’s ok to be mean to spoiled brats, they’ll need it to not grow up to be huge pieces of garbage.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for wearing a black dress to a wedding? This is like 40 pages back, but after my roommate asked which dress she should wear to a wedding, 2 of which were black, and I told her that old-timey rules day you should never wear black to a wedding, I googled it. The consensus among fashion magazines is that wearing black to a wedding is now just fine and anyone being offended by a black dress at a wedding is a gigantic rear end in a top hat. She should break up with him for not explaining that not only did he pick the black dress when presented with options and that she's not made of money to buy another dress, but that his family members are being great big assholes. She should just link him to all the articles I found during the break up. Also, mama's boys suck.

AITA for telling my nephew where chicken nuggets come from Not the A-hole You know those videos where kids realize where foods come from? My nephew is one of those kids who couldn’t handle it. From the time he was 5 to now (8 years old) he’s refused to eat animals--or so he thinks. My sister has been telling him that all the foods she makes for him (chicken nuggets, fish sticks, breaded meats that don’t really LOOK like an animal) are made of plants. Except I didn’t know that! So last week, he was over my house playing with some nuggets that were stamped out to be shaped like dinosaurs. He said “Rawr!” and I said “Don’t you mean cluck-cluck? It’s from a chicken!” And he said “No there’s two kinds of chicken, one we eat and one that clucks.” And I started setting him straight, but when he understood what I was saying he really started crying and freaking out. I called my sister and she exploded on me for bringing this whole house of cards down. I told her well why don’t you buy some beans/peas/nuts instead of lying, but of course criticizing a parent is a war crime! AITA?

AITA for saying my best friends mom is hot? Ok, so yesterday I was up at the gas station picking up a drink and getting my friend a couple of things for when she gets off work to surprise her. When we were leaving I see her mom so I walk over and start talking to her. While we're talking she asks me if I can help her do something later and I agree so she gives me her number to text me about it. So I get home and I text her, "hey, I got this hotties number at the gas station today." So she asks who and I say her mom did for getting stuff. She BLOWS up, tells me to gently caress off and blocks me. Now I've known this girl for years and I'm moving in with her but she went off the handle over this. AITA for making the joke?

If you are planning on giving your child a device, plan when you are going to give it to them, and plan a 'savings' fund that they are a part of that will come to fruition when you were planning to give it to them anyway. I was on a tour bus returning from Turkey going into Greece once, and the whole thing got held up at the Greek side of the border for a few hours, involving bag checks, some strip searches of adult men, and being devoured by mosquitos as we had to wait outside for much of the time... Because a Russian tourist lady's 12 year old daughter lost her phone at a rest stop and instead of assuming a kid lost a phone, mom stormed off at the start of the border check to tell the Greek guards that someone on the bus must have stolen the phone. Shockingly the phone wasn't found on anyone.

AITA for being upset that my brother planned his wedding on my birthday?quote:Pretty much as it says. My brother booked his wedding on my birthday this year and it's an abroad wedding so no one is invited. He said he forgot that it was my birthday and so did his fiancée. We are not super close but trying to build a stronger relationship together. We still see each other on birthdays and such. My bf thinks I'm over reacting and it was simply a mistake. I have brought it up jokingly at family events and I was told to drop it as I was sounding like an rear end in a top hat. (Didn't intend to offend) But I'm upset as now my birthday will also forever be my brother's wedding anniversary. I'm just a bit hurt I guess and want to know if it's right for me to be upset or if I'm over reacting.

WIBTA for telling my financially clueless sister her “exciting skin care opportunity” is a multi-level marketing scam? My sister is nearing 50 and is having a mid-life crisis. She’s a successful lawyer making well into the six figures but has had a LOT of personal and financial issues the last couple years. A couple days ago she started posting all these pictures and Snapchats from a fancy hotel in a state she doesn’t live, talking about some conference for her exciting side job. There were lavish parties with DJs and rooms full of dancing, well-dressed, highly excited people. Well... I think you know where this is going. A quick Google search revealed this company is a multi-level marketing thing that has recently “rebranded” after numerous lawsuits and even its main product having been found to be toxic. There are the usual stories of recruiters encouraging people to recruit others instead of actually selling product. I reached out to my mom and of course my sister has already sold her some eye cream for like 60 loving dollars. My mom is disabled, nearly confined to the house and has literally zero use for eye cream, just bought it to “help her out”. And so it begins. I find it really hard to believe that my sister who graduated law school isn’t aware of the scammy, scummy nature of this if I found out in a 5 minute Google search. She is also on really, really shaky financial ground and my parents have bailed her out to the tune of six figures in the last five years. I’m fed up. WIBTA to confront her with the facts behind this “opportunity”?

AITA to keep eating foods that gross out my gf? Gonna keep this short. My gf and I, both 25, have traveled extensively through SE Asia in the past 2 years. I love Asian foods and exploring night markets trying different street foods is one of my favorite things. Last year we had a big blow up while we were in Bangkok at a big night market. I wanted to try a fried soft shell crab and my gf thought it was disgusting and unclean. I said there were tons of people here, including foreigners, and I want to be able to try something. I then wanted some fried squid and snails and she said the same thing. After a while I just said gently caress it and ate it anyways because we were there for only one night. She got incredibly upset at me. We’re going to Hong Kong in two weeks and she brought up last year’s incident. She wants me to promise that I won’t eat anything she considers too gross, unrecognizable, and foreign. I say no and she asks me why I’m being so stubborn over this one thing that bothers her so much. She says it nearly makes her retch watching me put that kind of stuff in my mouth in some street alley. She says it’s the one habit of mine she finds extremely unbearable. AITA if I just say no and keep eating the things I want? I get that it grosses her out but I feel like she’s being really controlling by making me agree to ask for her “permission” for everything I put in my mouth. It doesn’t help that she’s very picky and consider 50% of Asian foods to be “too gross” anyways. If I went her way we’d be having all of our meals in the hotel.

QuarkJets posted:Can't really complain about someone accidentally telling your kids the truth when that person is unaware of the elaborate quilt of lies you've sewn Some years ago I was a babysitter for a family with two daughters. One night pre sit the mom told me how they were going to Disneyland the next week for the younger daughter's birthday. So after the parents left, sat down the kids for dinner and asked about the trip. That they had no idea about. Managed to salvage the surprise of it though for the idiot parents who hadn't TOLD ME IT WAS A SURPRISE by convincing the kids the younger sister was too young to go (minimum age for Disney was 5 and she was only 4) so it would be mean to make her wait in the car while everyone else had fun. Buuuut since I know someone who works at Disney, MAYBE I could help her parents get her in. Surprise trip was saved and the kids believed I was loving magic for years after that.
