Look if god can speak to them directly to say polygamy is no longer allowed he can darn well speak to whoever is in charge directly to say all that stuff about brown people was wrong and no longer part of the doctrine. Like, that's how it works in mormonism, right? Whoever is in charge can get 'direct divine inspiration' and retcon the stuff that holds up less well? The only reason that hasn't happened yet is whoever is in charge is absolutely racist.

By not doing so you teach them that they cannot rely on their parents, who are the primary and most important relationships in their lives for most of their childhood. So what if mom is depressed and dad is tired? You made a promise. Grow the gently caress up and keep it. Yeah they're total dickheads, I like how the kid even correctly predicted how lovely they are.

Of course, a big announcement isn't going to obliterate decades of entrenched bigotry, and you end up with well-meaning racists like the guy in the story.

AITA for telling my stepmom to leave ‘the loving room’ after her phone kept chiming when we were visiting our dying grandma? To keep matters brief I’m going to call my stepmom ‘mom’ because she basically is, but y’all need to know she’s my stepparent for the story. She raised me and I love her and she’s been an amazing mom but she’s emotionally draining in the same way all parents kinda are. My step grandma and I are really close. Like, really, really close. We both share personalities, interest, we even look alike, and both have the same physical build etc. Growing up I was so ‘connected’ with her. This caused some tension with her bio grandchildren and kids and over the years they’ve accused her of favoritism, me of ‘twisting’ grandma, etc. Grams is very very old and is about to pass away any day now. She has an oxygen tank, a nurse who stays with her at home, and the thing that breaks my heart the most is that her mind is completely as sharp as ever, it’s just her body that’s giving up. My mom and grams were never close, but since she’s been sick mom has been making a big effort to come see her. Yesterday I was sitting with grandma rambling total crap and mom came in furiously typing. It later transpired the texting was about me ‘usurping’ grams time because I’m always with her, and she was defending me, but in the moment her phone kept. loving. Chiming. Like every two seconds. And it’s that annoying Samsung jingle so it’s not a quick beep, and it just kept going and going. I was already feeling pretty emotionally rough so I said ‘mom, put your phone on silent for gods sake’ but she went ‘no I don’t like it on silent’. 2 mins later another cacophony of jingles. Grandma didn’t look happy with the noise at all, she kept wincing because she prefers the quiet so I hissed to my mom ‘get out the loving room mom if you won’t put your phone on silent’ She gave me a hurt look and left, and later on she burst out crying and kept saying that I didn’t need to fight with her in front of grandma. I feel completely lovely but also like she wasn’t respecting that my grandma needs quiet too.

WIBTA if I set my Mother in Law up to drop in on my roommate jerking off? So, the title is probably almost as weird as the actual explanation. Bear with me. I've got the typical awful, overbearing MIL situation. The woman doesn't like me, hasnt for roughly 6 years now. Her son and I have been together almost 7 years. We have two kids. She's done everything from boundary stomping, criticizing our parenting choices, threatening to have our child taken from us and placed in her custody if we moved out of state, and threatening to call CPS if we didnt bow to her wishes. Suffice to say this woman is insane, and we DID end up moving 2000 miles away with zero chance of losing custody, obviously. So, we are no contact with her off and on. Currently we hear from her once every 3 months or so and see her once a year. The most recent time she was in town, she gave my boyfriend an amazon alexa for the kids. It's one of the fancy ones with the screen and camera for video chatting. Now, maybe I'm just being petty because her and I obviously dont get on, but I'm not interested in seeing or hearing from her any more than we do already. My boyfriends younger brother and his girlfriend, when they found out that she had gotten this for us, warned me to disable the drop in permissions because this woman was just randomly dropping into the device and accessing the camera into their apartment. So I was INSTANTLY suspicious of this loving thing. I disabled the permissions, and the kids aren't allowed to use it unless someone is in the room anyway. I was talking about how shady it was with our roommate, and he said that he had a MUCH better idea than disabling it. Put it in his room, and any time he feels like it, he'll just jerk it while making direct eye contact with the camera. I feel like disabling it is enough, but I would be lying if I said this wasn't a hilariously tantalizing prospect. Is it over the top to do this if I'm pretty confident that she WOULD just drop in and see this happening? Thanks in advance!

Amusing as that is it'll probably make crazy-rear end MIL explode and become even worse. Just stick a post-it or piece of painters tape over the camera (as well as disabling the permissions, naturally; best to be doubly sure.)

Husband (40m) thinks I am "crazy" because I (36f) want a roach-free apartment...who is right?quote:For the past month, due to a neighboring dirty apartment, we have been dealing with German roaches. When I realized we had them i freaked out. I wrote a letter to the landlord, but heard nothing back for two weeks. I decided to take steps myself. My husband purchased professional-level baits and IGR products and I applied them. We also deep-cleaned the kitchen—at my suggestion—and found the microwave and coffeemaker were infested, and we trashed them. And best response quote:is your husband a bunch of roaches in a person suit?

Also apparently the original ending of the film they just talked out their problems, which seeing as that Isnt working here, I recommend she go with the back up strat of stomping on his cousins and uncles crawling around the apartment.

Word. Kids remember stuff like that. My younger brother asked my parents for a dog at Christmas time when he was 6. They said something like "We'll get a dog in the spring honey," and promptly forgot and/or thought he would forget. The following Thanksgiving they had a photo album out and there was a picture of us kids next to some blooming flowers. My brother asked "Was it spring then?" "Yes, it was," my mother replied. "Did we get a dog?"

AITA for throwing away my dishes rather than wash them, even if my roommate can't afford to replace them? I'm 28F, my roommate is 29F and is a single mother to an 8 month old. We both contribute to rent equally, but basically all of the kitchenware is mine. I had it all before she moved in and we agreed before she moved in that we'd share them because she only gets so much money a month and it would be impossible to get her own kitchen stuff. It's no big deal to me, but at the time, her child was exclusively bottle fed. Now her kid eats rice cereal or oat cereal. I don't know how many people here are parents or whatever but this is the most vile stuff to smell. She mixes this porridge like sludge half and half with formula. It begins to smell immediately and after an hour? I've thrown up before from the smell. But whatever, kids gotta eat. My problem is my roommate doesn't wash these dishes. She'll make this oatmeal stuff, feed it to her kid, then leave half of it remaining in the bowl in the sink, oftentimes when I'm at work. After 2-3 hours, it turns into cement basically, and our dishwasher won't clean it. I always have to clean it because she's busy with her kid. Try as I might to get her to just rinse it after use so it can be put in the dishwasher, it falls on deaf ears. I even asked if she'd get tiny plastic bowls to make it and she said she can't afford it (a 5-pack is only like $5 and are dishwasher safe)... After about a month of this, I've begun just throwing them out. Instead of cleaning them, I throw my dishes away. We have no bowls now, she can't prepare this stuff in a plate. She's started using my cups to make it and I'll be throwing those away, too. It is nothing to me to replace these things and when I do, I'll be keeping them hidden. Am I the rear end in a top hat or going overboard?

Found revealing pictures of my (18/m) mom (45/f) on my friends (18/m) phone. I just discovered this and I'm not really sure what to do guys. I was over at my friends house playing video games, specifically the new Zelda game on the Switch, and my friend was trying to get all the collectibles and achievements. He had a website up on his phone so that he could find out where the next item he needed to get was, but because he was in the middle of a fight he told me to find it for him. I reached out to grab his phone which was on the home screen, and when I did I accidentally touched the image gallery which opened up. I didn't see the whole pic because it was just a preview, but I could tell that under the instagram folder was a pic of my mom in a bikini, taken like a mirror selfie. My mom has a very distinct back tattoo, so I immediately recognized her. I instantly closed the app and pretended like I didn't see anything, and just kinda sat there quietly for an hour before I said I had to go home, and went to my dads. I have no idea what to do guys. The idea that my mom was sending pictures of herself to my best friend makes me sick, and it feels like I've been betrayed by the both of them. I'm not a very confrontational person, so I don't know if I'd have the courage to face my friend or my mom and address this. Is there anything I can or should to? Thanks TL;DR: Found revealing picture of my mom on my friends phone. Need advice on what to do next. Throwaway account because we are both active redditors and he knows my username.

Being in a trapped vessel like that makes them hideous. A bowl in the sink is more likely to dry out than it is to turn into curds and rancid poo poo in a day.
