RE: Vegan Roommates It's an ESH situation because roomie reneged on the agreement of what foods would be allowed in the house, most likely spurred on by "hurr hurr plants r dum" BF. OP is also an rear end in a top hat due to her throwing out perfectly good food someone else paid for.

the OP was perfectly clear that his roomate is not permitted to store her meat in the refrigerator, so she should simply find another place to leave it, like in an air vent or under his pillow

I just would never initiate conversations, never share, and deflect most personal questions as best I could. It was because I was the single atheist marxist soyboy working in an office that was otherwise owned and staffed by a pentacostal church.

In Laws Being Crazy Over Adoptionquote:Dear Prudence, quote:I’m so sorry that both of you have been having to deal with this kind of harassment. But I suspect your husband isn’t only considering cutting his family off for your sake. This isn’t something you’ve asked him to do, but a boundary he may need to draw in order to feel ready to become a father himself. Yes, his sister’s cruelty was pointed at you, and your husband was right to defend you, but I don’t think you’re the cause of this rift. Anyone might be shaken to learn that their own family members are capable of naked cruelty and embarrassing selfishness and find themselves unable to stomach having friendly conversations about the weather or work once they’ve revealed their characters in such a fashion. If the rest of his family has called into question your ability to love the children you’ll adopt (as well as the adoptive mother who raised and loves you), then taking at least a temporary break to focus on going through the adoptive process without the additional stress of dealing with their antagonism strikes me as a perfectly reasonable decision.

Kuros posted:RE: Vegan Roommates Yeah, throwing it out is such a dick move and IMO is worse than just letting her eat it. I worked with a guy who has vegetarian for years. I had lunch with him and they hosed up his order and brought him Mac and cheese with bacon in it. He ate it rather than sending it back and having it thrown out, in his mind it was worse to have a pig die and just be thrown in the garbage for no reason. Wasting food kind of sucks. Wasting someone else's food SUPER sucks, and what vegan roommate did was straight up childish. Boyfriend is still an rear end in a top hat and non-vegan roommate is kind of lovely for reneging, but if she's paying rent and she's not forcing them to interact with the food outside of having to see it when the open the fridge then I'm mostly on her side.

AITA for the throwing a birthday party for my daughter that accidentally excluded one of the girls she invitted?quote:Saturday was my daughter’s 9th birthday party. Although I don’t let her wear makeup to school yet she loves watching beauty videos on YouTube. I found a group that do skincare, manicures, hair and makeup for birthday parties and thought that would be a fun thing that my daughter could enjoy with her friends. They would get all done up, learn beauty skills, have dinner and then sleep over and even have beauty supplies to bring home. It was a little expensive but I thought it was worth it.

She didn't realize there was a problem until the event was already underway and tried to mitigate it. Unfortunate, but not malicious. NTA. It would something else if she were still in the planning state and realized "hmm this even won't work for my daughter's black friend.... ah well gently caress it". But with this like, what was she supposed to do? She got caught by an unexpected problem.

Is it because they're family and would be in the photos? E:^That's actually really common. Professional models often bring their own makeup to photo shoots because the makeup artists don't have makeup for dark complexions. They also often don't know how to do their makeup correctly. Same with hair. Araenna fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Sep 19, 2019 |

"Formal" Is a step below black tie, and generally denotes professional hair and makeup and smart dressing. I don't think this woman or her family did anything wrong, other than thinking "formal" actually meant formal on a wedding invitation.

That's been something that a number of makeup companies that sell foundation have gotten flak for. YSL a year or so ago boasted '22 shades!' but..... There's a lot of time a dearth of options for POC. It sucks. But you'd hope a professional makeup artist would have a wider range of colors than what you could just get off the shelf at a Sephora or a Walgreens.

AITA for giving my daughter more money than my son after a lottery win because of different circumstances? I recently had a second division win on the lottery and after taxes pocketed about $300k - a nice and very handy sum of money, but not the kind of money that will let you set you and your kids up for life. We have two kids who are twins in their late twenties and I'll give them the fake names of Lucas and Carolina. Lucas has a wife and two kids under 5 (being a little vague for privacy). Carolina is single and happy with that for now & doesn't want kids. My husband and I have decided that in addition to taking a holiday, getting a new car, and putting most of it into savings, we would gift each of our kids $25k each. We also decided we would pay off Carolina's student loans (about $35k, which is not bad for a BA and a MA. She had a scholarship for her masters and only borrowed what she needed for a compulsory internship in an expensive city & the BA amount is pretty standard for where we are) and will pay for Carolina's ICL surgery for her vision (LASIK is not suitable) as she needs very strong glasses (-12) and it is not covered by any insurance or our country's health care system. The surgery is about $12k. Carolina has been saving for it herself, I told her to use the money and treat herself to a holiday. Lucas says that I am being unfair and favouring Carolina & and that he should get the extra $47k Carolina is essentially getting, especially because "I have kids and she doesn't and she has a better job anyway". I don't think I am being unfair. If Lucas went to University, I'd have settled his debt too or paid the same amount off each of their balances, depending on the amounts. But Lucas chose to drop out of school in 10th grade. Her better job is the result of her putting in more years of education. I'd also pay for Lucas to have eye surgery if he needed it. But he doesn't. Carolina has missed out on things because of her vision and that he has benefited in the years - she is not allowed to have a licence because of it and a few years ago when my husband and I bought a new car, we gave Lucas our old one which we could have traded in for about $6k & paid for driving lessons. Carolina didn't complain about it or demand money of her own. I also think giving him $47k to "play" with is different to covering an educational debt and a health expense. It also punishes Carolina - she gets a necessary surgery and educational expenses while her brother gets extra free "fun" money. He asks "what about my kids". I actually am putting aside some money for their educations (I plan to give both $10k + whatever interest it gets towards educational costs if they go to Uni) but have not told him this, but ultimately, while I love my grandkids, they are his responsibility to provide for. Lucas continues to insist I am favouring Carolina and making comments that she is the preferred golden child. I personally think $25k is generous and it is not unreasonable to cover a specific educational and health expenses I would have also covered if he has the need. AITA?

I don't think this woman or her family did anything wrong, other than thinking "formal" actually meant formal on a wedding invitation. That's so weird to me. I've never known anyone outside the bridal party to have professional makeup and hair done for a wedding, formal or otherwise. And never seen that paired with "dressing smartly". Maybe it's somewhat regional? I can't imagine spending that money just as a wedding guest, and most people I know wouldn't either. Maybe most weddings I've been to that I thought were formal actually weren't.

^^^^^^^ That's the thing, most people don't know what the gently caress any of the dress code terms mean. They likely think "formal" is a nice dress from the department store and you spend 45 minutes on your make up, which is perfectly fine and totally acceptable for a wedding. But formal is actually black tie optional, tuxedos, professional hair etc. It isn't regional, it's just based on class and upbringing; the OP likely has come from a more priviledged background and so has a little bit more knowledge on what dress codes actually mean. Her big mistake was assuming everyone else does too. Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for giving my daughter more money than my son after a lottery win because of different circumstances?

Until Fenty came out and Rihanna changed the game there wasn’t a lot out there for darker complexions. Much less any makeup that paid attention to undertones. Now that Fenty showed everyone there is a demand for this I give a side eye to other brands like Kylie or whoever trying to jump on the wagon. And they still don’t do it as well.
