Funeral attendancequote:We unfortunately just lost my grandfather. The funeral is set for this weekend in a different state. It’s very expensive to fly into the closest airport. My mother told me that she is planning on driving there. This would be great. However, there are a couple of big problems, the first being that my husband is having surgery on Friday. I don’t want to leave him, especially since we have two very active small children. Another big issue is that I just found out my mother is traveling with her husband and my sibling. We recently had my grandmother’s funeral (not the wife of my recently deceased grandfather) and he decided to carry his gun. This was completely uncalled for and disrespectful of my grandmother, who was anti-gun. My sibling is mentally ill and has attempted to kill me. They have also threatened the lives of my children. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid, but the thought of traveling with them for 30 hours makes me very uncomfortable. quote:You are not being paranoid for not wanting to spend 30 hours with someone who has tried to kill you. Oh my God! “I can’t be around X, who as you may remember has tried to kill me, so I won’t attending the funeral. I’ll be staying at home with the kids and helping [Husband] prepare for his surgery. I love you and I hope you have a safe, meaningful time with the rest of the family.” Prudence is right. Don't bury the lede like that

AITA for telling my boyfriend that I'll get a Brazilian if he gets his balls waxed? Pretty straightforward. I (25f) let my pubic hair grow out. I trim it occasionally so it's not totally out of control, and I naturally have light, thin body hair, but I gave up waxing a few years ago because it's painful and expensive and...just not worth it in my estimation. My BF (27m) of a few months didn't seem to mind, but recently he made a comment to the effect of "It would be really hot if you got a wax." He didn't ask or demand that I do so, just sort of stated that he'd be into it. I laughed and said that it was pretty painful and expensive, and he again said that he understood, but that he still found it hot. I got a little annoyed and snarkily added that if he got his area waxed, I'd do mine. He grimaced but didn't bring it up again. I was annoyed that he expressed an opinion about my body hair, which I very much feel is my prerogative. I told a few friends who don't know him about this interaction, and opinion is pretty split as to whether he was the rear end in a top hat for bringing up a preference about my body, or I was for shooting him down so bluntly. So, reddit, AITA?

AITA for telling my stepdaughter I want nothing to do with her after it emerged she has been telling her friends I’m abusive? I’ve been in my stepdaughters life for 14 years, she’s 18. We are like mother and daughter, I was unable to conceive so she’s very much like my own flesh and blood. I have sacrificed for her, love her, want nothing but the best for her, put her first always. I’d have told you that she felt the same- she’d call me mum, introduce me as her mother, would ask me to take her to drs appts + come in and hold her hand for things like contraceptives and smear tests. She never asked her bio mum. She was at our home recently and her friends were there. She’d gone to get food with some of her friends and the others remained behind as they were playing games. One of them blurted out to me ‘I can’t believe you’re pretending to be so nice to her in front of us, we all know what an evil bitch you are’ I was completely thrown and said excuse me? What are you talking about? And they all quickly chimed in about how abusive I am, I ripped her away from her father, I’m a desperate childless old bitch who is jealous of my daughter and I want her to suffer. There was a LOT said, and a lot of private things I told my daughter came spilling out of their mouths too (I sold my designer wedding shoes to pay for her prom dress because her dad refused to spend a grand on it, and she’d twisted it to her friends like ‘I didn’t get her a birthday present so it’s the least I could do’- no, I didn’t get her a birthday present because I had got her the dress!!) My heart crumbled in a matter of moments, when she came back I asked to speak to her in private. She was shocked that I knew, and stumbled her way through the conversation passing it all off as a practical joke, that she didn’t mean it, that she had to fit in with her friends, she burst into tears whilst saying sorry, sorry, and she didn’t know why she’d done it. I left the house and phoned my husband in tears and he immediately defended me and essentially he’s asked her not to come back to the house. He has minimised contact with her because he too can’t believe why she’d lie like this. It later emerged that even at school, she’d tell her teachers how evil I was so there I went to all these parent evenings whilst they probably looked at me like I was a complete and utter arse. It’s been a few weeks now and my stepdaughter hasn’t stopped coming by the house to apologise or try and talk to me. I told her I want nothing to do with her right now, I’m reeling from a deep betrayal. That she used my inability to have bio children as a way to laugh at me trying to bond with her, that she disregarded the love I have ... I don’t know who this person I helped raise is. My in laws have been supportive but MIL is gently trying to encourage me to open up communication as my stepdaughter apparently hasn’t been sleeping or eating- well, neither have I! Frankly I don’t care if she’s hurting right now- I gave her all my love- all of it. I will eventually speak to her but right now I just want to process this on my own.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:If your parents want to pay for your wedding but only if they think you are having kids, bilk the misogynist jerks for all you can. Pretty much this, a lot of the times I've seen people lie about having kids it's been due to their families expecting them to have kids out of tradition/religion/whatever bullshit they want. Sometimes even threatening to cut off their own kids from family or inheritance because of their choices not being in line with said traditional/religious garbage. Even funnier when the kids stand their ground & go no contact, then the parents cry about how they never keep in touch  they can get hosed.

Assuming this woman is telling the whole truth and this isn't some attempt to manipulate the facts to fit her narrative while actually abusing her stepdaughter, then NTA. That's a pretty horrific lie to tell and perpetuate. An 18 year old should know better, and if she's suffering and remorseful now that she's experiencing consequences, then good. She ought to feel bad. Glad the OP isn't cutting her out permanently, because that'd be a cruel thing to do to your daughter for being a dumber-than-usual teenager, but taking a few months to cool off and let the other party stew is more than justified.

*Surveys the audience* *Conductor baton knocks for attention* *turns to orchestra* AITA for destroying my 8-year-old nephew's computer? My sister had to move with me after she had trouble in paradise and my parents wouldn't accept her (she's 31, I'm 26). She's been living with me for 2 months and my nephew has pretty much ruined my life. He managed to dent my 4K screen a couple hours after moving in, scratched my Nintendo Switch, sat on my Beats on purpose, even cracked a brand new Rolex that I was planning on gifting to my girlfriend. But the final straw for me came last week, when he poured AN ENTIRE GALLON of HOT water inside my Mineral Oil Submerged Computer while I was out of home. He knew the computer worked with oil. And did that anyway. Told him to never touch it. And did it anyway. Told him that it meant a lot to me. And broke it anyway. $4000 down the drain. An entire year of building it down the drain. Tired of his crap, I grabbed that same gallon he used to ruin my computer, filled it up with water and poured it all over his laptop. Now he finally understood what that felt like and started sobbing, kicking the floor, even had the guts to call me names. He was no longer giggling and playing stupid. Because, of course, this time it was HIS most precious possession, and not mine. My sister kept guilt tripping me about the kid not even have dinner that night, since he was "insanely upset". Neither did I, boo loving hoo. As expected, now I'm the bad guy and OUR ENTIRE FAMILY is telling me to "grow up" and "buy the kid a new laptop before he hates me forever". I won't buy him poo poo. I don't care if it's my nephew's PC or Justin Bieber's. He broke my dream project and I retaliated. gently caress them kids. AITA?

I feel like if you offer to allow your sister and her kid to move in with you she should have some control over her kid. A computer is a reasonable thing to leave around the house in the open while a gun is not. Also the kid is old enough to understand he shouldn't dump a gallon of water over his own laptop. Guy is an rear end in a top hat for retaliating but his sister is an rear end in a top hat for not offering to pay for his broken poo poo.

Power Khan posted:AITA for telling my stepdaughter I want nothing to do with her after it emerged she has been telling her friends I’m abusive? There's nothing really to talk about. You now know what she actually thinks of you. What will she say? That she regrets saying those things? That she made a mistake? That she doesn't know why she did it? She did it to gain social acceptance. You now know she's 100% willing to throw you under the bus for a leg up in the world. If she's willing to do that to you then she's willing to do that to anyone. If she wants to show she's serious she needs to make amends. Making amends for this is saying "sorry". It's going to every person she lied about you to and telling them she's actual trash that lied for social standing in a toxic group. Until she does that she is just using you like she already has.
