QuarkJets posted:AITA-Gun control in my own home "mature 3yo" - there's a plethora of research that shows that a 5-6yo, let alone a 3yo, will pick up a gun and play with it even moments after training with a parent or video to not touch a gun. Kids are great at parroting back what to do - "I don't touch it and tell my mom!" - and then doing it anyway literally seconds afterwards. Its your kid and your house. "You only get to see my kid in my house if you don't have a gun with you" is a reasonable and enforceable rule. He'll most certainly bitch about it, but if you're firm he'll cave eventually.

[SERIOUS] Tensions Flaring Due to Fartingquote:My husband (“Mike”) and I are both in our thirties, and have been married for over ten years. Like any marriage, we’ve had our ups and downs, but we are in a solid, committed relationship. However, for the last year or so, we’ve had ongoing “discussions” about a minor health issue that Mike has developed, and it’s starting to affect our marriage in a really negative way.

AITA for not acting thrilled over an age-inappropriate gift at a holiday gift exchange?quote:One of the gift exchanges I participated in this year was one where we made up our own rules. We liked the white elephant idea, but then people shared experiences where they literally ended up with trash or useless junk. So we modified that idea and set a budget of about $15-20. We specifically agreed that for our "white elephant" exchange, there would be no joke gifts or trash, and that everyone should bring thoughtful or useful gifts. (For reference, most of us are in our 30s, with a few over and a few under).

WIBTA if I refused to share the cost from a car accident during a road trip I was on?quote:So this summer a longtime friend of mine and I rented a car to go on a road trip. We split the driving, but my friend pushed to be the driver more often than not. When it was time to return the car to the airport in the dead of night, I was under the impression that she was tired, so I offered to drive. However she insisted on driving and managed the (short) drive without issue.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Big-rear end rocks. My grandparents live on a farm, and local redneck teenagers will ride their 4-wheelers through the fields. They were causing damage and spooking the animals but neither cops nor parents helped much. Grandpa posted signs, which were torn down or shot with BB guns. He put up more signs, same thing. Put up some traffic cones, which were promptly run over. He started filling random cones with concrete and left them out there. You know. So the wind wouldn't blow them away. Kids ran it over, tore up the 4-wheeler something fierce. They tried to sue for 'booby trapping the field' but didn't win. They stopped coming around after that. Little shits.

Beachcomber posted:Help! Sister in Law thinks she is being proposed to on Christmas I know they said the puppy is not a prop and they won't get rid of it but from that story that puppy is 100% a prop and they will get rid of it when he doesn't propose with it. It will probably destroy the relationship too but since the SIL only sees a living thing as a prop gently caress her. I hope the BIL gets rid of her and keeps the puppy.

Her father ruined my gf's Christmas and I'm fed up of his bullshit. Throwaway because gf knows my reddit account, she doesn’t frequent r/relationships however so I should be ok? Me: M24 Her: F25 Hey all, Ive got a bit of a conundrum so hopefully someone can give me some logical advice. Apologies for the length. Side note: if it’s in quotation marks, it’s either a copy-paste from messenger or a quote from the phone call. Background: Me and my gf have been together for nearly 4 years now and all is pretty good. Bar some fights and the usual tantrums (from the both of us) we are pretty drat solid and working on bettering ourselves - losing weight, saving money all those wonderful adult things. Little under 2 years ago we moved away from her parents (we were living with them during my last year of uni) and got a place together near my parents who live around 8 hours away. It was 'mainly' because of job opportunities were better here, but having family nearby helps. Her parents are, IMO, a little old school. They are quite controlling over what she does and her father (a military man) pushes strength and - again IMO - has a kind of hatred towards weakness. For example; my gf suffers from depression, gets the pills has therapy and is coping well. Her father says its all fake and she needs to just stop being sad. That always goes down a treat. Another example: She is not a small lady, we are aware of our weight issues and are trying, semi-successfully, to deal with them. Her parents method of dealing with this (mom & dad) is to remind her at every opportunity how she is obese and that I'm going to leave her at any moment - I'm not, stop saying that, I'm not that loving shallow. There are others, such as things that happened when I didn’t know her but I’m trying to keep it to at least within the last 4 years, and I don’t want to just list issues. The issue: So, for the last few years we have gone to our families for Christmas - she to hers and me to mine, then New Year’s would be a switch up. This year is no different. She left a couple days ago. Now this in itself I’m... iffy about? She doesn’t exactly get to choose to go home or not - it’s demanded. My mother has offered for her to stay one year and I go the next but it seems to have gone by the wayside. This year, however, it all went to poo poo. For relevance sake I should probably say I’m from the UK and we have recently had quite the controversial vote. I don’t care about the politics & I won’t name my opinions, but basically her family have some strong political beliefs and hers don’t exactly match up – it causes tension. She got home after a long flight and we had previously agreed that she’d call me when she landed (I’m a middle aged woman at heart and I worry), but I didn’t get anything, no problem she’s probably busy. 5 hours later and still nothing, however, as you may imagine I had been blowing up her phone a little by that time, and I was wondering what had happened. Turned out this is what happened: She’d arrived at the airport and been picked up by her brother, who bar the odd pleasantly was silent the entire ride (about an hour). When she gets home, everyone is pleasant and greets her apart from her father who merely sits there watching TV and says hi. Weird but ok. So theyre all sitting in the living room having a chat while dad watches the news about the resent results, when he turns to the rest to chat politics. Now I wasn’t there – so all ive got is her messages, but for brevity’s sake ill round it up. Dad, mom and bro are all talking about how much they like Boris & are glad he won, gf says she doesn’t and explains why, and dad says something weird: “…he said he would never love me if I was with someone like JC and I was like I don't love JC and he cut me off and was like I would never love you, I would send you out my house and never want to see you again” This throws her off a little. They talk some more, now a little heated, she won’t tell me everything that was said but it eventually degrades into him standing up and shouting: “I'm loving angry now! You're making me loving angry! gently caress off!” Now I ain’t gonna lie, she may have set him off, she can be drat spiteful when she wants to be, but this sets her crying. Which only pisses him off more – this… unfortunately… ive seen before – as he proceeds to tell her to stop crying and just screams at her, which just makes her cry more. Wonderful. Up to the point where she stands up to go to leave, at which point he walks right up to her and squares up to her like hes gonna hit her and says: “DONT YOU loving LOCK HORNS WITH ME IN MY OWN HOUSE I'll SAY WHAT I loving LIKE TO YOU” And she runs away, locks herself upstairs and calls me. Now I dunno what the gently caress to do? Do I go there and bring her back? She says she doesn’t want to leave and they are better now (apparently he said he was snippy cus of lack of sleep – no sorry mind, the man doesn’t apologize). But I’m really starting to hate this guy. Before it was a mild dislike, the odd sexist comment and racist joke – sometimes at my expense (I’m Scottish, which in his eyes means I’m a drunk). Ive talked to my parents about it so some extent, but I just don’t know if it’s my place to out her family as complete assholes – oh should point out that during that encounter the mother was egging him on and brother just ignored the whole exchange. She won’t leave them, and I won’t force her to, they are her family but they are loving toxic. Or maybe that's just what some families are like? Feels wrong to say that but how the gently caress would I know? I dunno… I'm just looking for some advice. Or maybe someone with a similar situation – feel like no matter what I do atm I’m loving something up. TLDR: Gf went home for christmas (8 hours away) and as soon as she arrived got screamed at by her dad for political poo poo - he pulls this poo poo all the time, I'm fed up. WTF do I do?

My (ex)GF [24] wants me [26M] to get a tattoo. Broke up with my GF, but we considered getting back together. However, she would only get back together me if I got a tattoo with her name as "a sign of committment." I don't have any tattoos, and I never wanted to get any, it would really be out of character for me. Am I right that this request is immature, possessive in an unhealthy way, and proves that it is a good decision not to get back together with her? Some extra info on commitment: I never cheated on her (over 3 years), so her craving for a "sign of commitment" does not stem from that. TL;DR GF would only get back together with me if I got a tattoo. Is that an obvious red flag?

AITA for getting a woman flagged as a terrorist? So I was in the airport late at night, catching a red-eye flight (it’s already past midnight). Despite the late hour, the airport was still surprisingly busy as it’s a main hub. As I was trying to make my way from check-in to security, there’s a Chinese girl (I’m assuming Chinese – she was Asian and I overheard her speaking Mandarin) who was in front of me. She was slowly meandering around in that maddening way, where she always seemed to be cutting me off as I went to pass by her. The walking wasn’t the issue so much as her randomly stopping every ten seconds to take a photo or to send a Snapchat, effectively stopping the crowd of five or so people piling up behind her). After the third time she stopped where I nearly bumped into her, I said, “Is that really necessary?” (In the sort of tone, where I said polite words, but there was a strong undercurrent of “what the f*ck are you doing? move.”) This irked her and she then proceeded to follow me around the airport for a few minutes saying things like “Do you have any friends? Do you not know what snap chat is? Are you a loser?” Initially I tried to ignore her and keep making my way through the airport, after a minute of this, I lost my temper. So I eventually snapped and said, “Look, either your friends are the most boring people in the world or they’re f*cking terrorists, because no one in their right g×ddamn minds wants to see photos of airport security.” She looked like I had slapped her, but before anything else was said, a TSA agent approached her and asked her to quietly come with them. They escorted her away and now I’m paranoid I accidentally got a social-media addict in trouble with the government. So… AITA for my outburst?
