cumshitter posted:I actually haven't spoken to my straight son in several years but was reminded of him today. The last time I spoke to him was when I went to meet with some clients at their office. After the meeting I told my son to wait while I used the bathroom, then I drove off and went for a late lunch with my husband. This is great, love those book titles. I finally read this whole thread; much time was wasted.

My (30M) sister (28F) is studying to be a nurse at a Catholic university. She has a holistic anti-vax instructor that is trying to brain wash all her students. What do I do?quote:My (30M) sister (28F) is studying to be a nurse at a Catholic university. She has a holistic anti-vax instructor that is trying to brain wash all her students. I found out about this because my family went out to dinner and she started questioning the safety about vaccines. We were all shocked. We spent the rest of the night trying to convince her that vaccinations were best for her kids. Another crazy thing is that our father (who was at the dinner) is her pediatrician! He was trying the hardest to convince her that vaccines were good, even pulling up scientific studies on his phone. She kept saying that she nor her instructor was anti-vax, but that they were just asking questions. She was saying some wild poo poo though, and even looking up books from Amazon that were being peddled by her instructor. This instructor has a class full of soon to be nurses, and they are seriously getting brain washed against vaccines. I'm not sure what to do about it.

Boyfriend (20M) started crying when I (19F) told him to wear a condom...quote:My boyfriend and I have recently become sexually active. I am in the process of getting on BC but I heard condoms are very safe so I’m ok using them atm. Honestly don’t wanna get on the pill bc im scared of gaining weight and I really like my body now. But even if I get on the pill, I’d like to continue using condoms for added protection.

AITA for going to women's swim and gymnastics events at my university because I have a foot fetish? u/gjfkkehbklof quote:So I've always loved these sports in the Olympics because of all the barefoot women! How can I not enjoy them? I did feel a little weird but then realized especially after watching some videos of a foot fetish model on YouTube discussing it that I can't control that anymore than LGBT people can and trying to not have a foot fetish is like conversion therapy.

You're supposed to eat approximately a million grams of protein a day and lift constantly. 40 pounds of straight fat just turns you into a slow out of shape loser.

AITA for being open about my economic status among pushy coworkers?quote:I work at a small tech company where it's basically split between designers and project managers. I'm the admin assistant, so I do a little bit of everything until we find out what I'm good at. The others in the company come from much different experiences and life backgrounds than me. On the PM side, it's mostly women, and they love to talk about all the things they buy, travel, etc. Eat the rich.

My (20F) mom (51F) won’t budge on her decision about my nose piercing.quote:Around this time last year, I decided to say “screw it” and got my nose pierced without her permission. For me the whole reason I even wanted one in the first place was to get a hoop, not a stud. When I came back home and she saw the hoop in my nose she reacted in a way I did not expect at all, she began to cry, saying stuff like “From all people I didn’t expect this from you” and her bawling just made me feel absolutely lovely. Especially since she decided to call up her friend and cry to her saying other stuff like “I don’t even KNOW who she is anymore”. You're 20 goddamn years old, lady.

Back in college I was coming from a solidly middle-class family that lived well within our means and I'd call us wealthy except that I visited the Bay area once and saw folks in mansions calling themselves "middle-class" so gently caress that. We couldn't afford everything, but when something (or someone) broke we didn't need to worry about where the money was coming from to fix it. My neighborhood was a bunch of folks in the same situation, it was a one-business town without a culture of conspicuous consumption so though I'm sure managers earned more and such, nobody was really showing it off and the main difference was that idea that "we have the money for it" had different thresholds for different folks and that wasn't something we talked about. In contrast, one of my friends was a farmgirl from Washington who was in college entirely off of scholarships and if anything went wrong she'd be stuck with the cows. Anyway, one time in freshman year I made some offhand comment about money and she tore me a new one. Never seen her so angry, and I deserved every (well, almost every, there was some pain from other sources that came out in there) word of it. Best thing that ever happened to me, really helped pop a few bubbles I grew up in. The more those rich bitches don't want to hear about it, the more they ought to.

She could come into the office wearing burlap with her face covered in ash and cough loudly every time someone passes by her desk without putting money in her tip jar, which would be a rusty can of beans with a jaggedly cut lid still sticking off it.

AITA for not wanting my biological father to take part of the typical "father of the bride" stuff? My biological father was never a huge part of my life. He left my mom when I was 2 and I barely saw him after that until I was almost a teenager, when he remarried. During that time, my mom got remarried and I consider my step-dad, my dad. He raised me. Even though my bio dad was in my life, he wasn’t great and my step-dad was the guy I went to and he took care of me, did all the stuff a dad is supposed to. I even ended up going by his last name, calling him “dad” and legally changing my last name when I was able to. My biological dad never cared about any of this, actually. It was his side of the family (his parents, mainly) that kicked up a fuss. They were always in my life and knew he was a loser, but still hated what I was doing. I mostly ignored them. Now, I’m an adult and am getting married. My biological dad is going to be attending the wedding, but he’s not doing any of the typical father of the bride stuff, my step-dad is. He didn’t speak any disappointment to me about it. However, I guess he did to his parents because my biological paternal grandmother came to me. She said I should split the father of the bride duties, between my two dads. I said, honestly, I don’t have two dads. My biological father contributed to me being alive, but he barely did anything for me after that. We have an okay relationship now but we’re not really father/daughter. My grandmother suggested they both walk me down the aisle and I have two father/daughter dances. I said I don’t feel that my biological father deserves the honor. Now, my biological paternal grandparents do not want to attend the wedding and have said that until I “grow up”, they will not. A few other members on that side are not either. I asked my biological father how he felt. He said that he didn’t expect for things to blow up the way he did, but he has a lot of regrets and it hurts, but he also knows he has no rights to expect anything from me. Am I being an rear end here?

AITA if I haven’t talked to my sister in a month after she ruined a family photo and made my wife cry at our wedding reception? More of a “are we the assholes” because it’s about both my wife and I. TL;DR: at bottom. My apologies for grammar and formatting errors, posting on mobile and struggled keeping it under 3000 characters. My wife’s cousin was supposed to do a reading for the wedding, but canceled at 7am. Due to this, we were relying on my sister. I called my sister she said she'd do it. A few hours before the wedding. My sister sent my wife a text: “I’m really sorry that I cannot read the prayer I just can’t handle reading in front of so many people thank you for understanding!” My wife said: “I accept your apology, but I don’t understand. We needed you to do this after my cousin bailed and stressed me out so I can’t be stressed out on our wedding day. Don’t worry about it. Thankfully my maid of honor stepped in, ” While not ideal, everything else at the wedding was perfect. At a Mexican wedding reception, the bridesmaids have to participate in a serpentine dance where they run around the bride/groom. Afterwards is the bouquet toss. My wife called my sister over to participate and she kept saying no. My wife thought she couldn’t hear her over the four hundred people talking and the music so she yelled at my sister. She finally did come over and said that she wasn’t going to do the serpentine. My wife pleaded to her that this was the one thing my sister couldn’t back out of and she still said no. So my wife wife said okay and rolled her eyes. My sister said she couldn’t participate because she had hurt her foot and that my wife screamed at her. I told my sister I would talk to my wife, but that she had to participate because as a bridesmaid for the bouquet toss. If she couldn’t run she could be at the front and walk. I went to my wife and she explained her side to me, but before we could talk to my sister, the serpentine started. Thankfully my sister joined in at the front. After this, my sister left for 45 minutes. I had been wanting a family photo with my dads family, the first in a decade. And when it was time to do it, my sister refused to come back in. When my sister finally came back in, my wife apologized that she only yelled because she thought my sister couldn’t hear and that she had wanted her to not miss out on the bouquet toss or the awesome serpertine. To which my sister said angrily replied, “I accept your apology, but I don’t forgive you and we will talk about this later.” Before she walking back to her table. It was the final straw and my wife started crying. Her moms friend saw her crying and told her parents and she had to tell them what happened. We are still upset and hurt by my sister’s actions during what should have been a perfect night centered on us. So Reddit, are we the assholes here? TL;DR: My sister refused multiple times to participate in wedding activities, missed important family photos, and made my wife cry. We have not talked to her since . We are still angry and hurt.
