Anyone want a cup of  to wake up to?AITA for leaving my mom’s early when her whole family took Christmas photos? quote:Me (16M) and my mom don’t have much a good relationship. They had a bad divorce after my mom left my dad for some guy when I was 7 and I only saw her once every 6 months cause she got married then buys with her new family. Since last year she wanted us to start talking more and seeing eachother. And finally met my two half brothers who r 6 and 4. Then her 2 other step kids around same age as me. I’m only with her on weekends and last one they were doing Christmas photos they send to the family. And I mean her husband’s family and also my mom’s. So like my grandparents, my aunts , cousins etc. Oh hey, I ditched you for 8 years of your life, but since when I was ready to play family you weren't, you're not my family any more kid sorry!

hawowanlawow posted:I believe the current forum guidance is to pretend all these DID havers are totally real and not to make fun of them It's not. We stopped doing mock threads because it turns out they're mostly harmless teens doing embarassing teen poo poo, and there's an unending font of much worse people on the internet. This person is either a fully conscious rear end in a top hat hiding behind the worst excuse, or in need of actual professional mental care to figure out what is going on in their head. There's really no way to tell online, but a non-zero amount of these fake self-diagnoses are built on different real disorders that the poster lacks the means to properly diagnose and address. Mormon Nailer posted:You, too, are genuinely pure and good. This is the wholesome motivational comedy I needed in my life at 3am, thank you. Hey, thanks. I had a pretty mediocre day and it's nice to hear I've at least brightened someone else's a little.

Not only that, he’s such a loser that he can afford to house them, for free, in a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco A good chunk of the country would kill to be that much of a loser

Barudak posted:Not your intention but you reminded me of the absolutely horrendous roleplaying game Beast where everyone was like "hey this is a deeply hosed up premise where you play an abuser who justifies all their actions" and then it came to light the lead dev/writer was in fact an abuser. Don't forget that the last book he wrote for included a faction of Beasts that were supernaturally compelled to rape people and the text was saying that they should be applauded for the heroic fortitude it takes to go even one day without raping someone.

She sees this as “quirky,” I’m about to leave her it’s so frustrating. What are some solutions? last weekend a friend and i sampled a large platter of beer from an ip place that brews their own beers. yeah, 99% of them tasted like a basement, but the bar food itself was good.

WIBTA for not telling my siblings about their true paternity and taking everything in my dads will?quote:I (38) have been NC with my dad and 2 younger siblings for many years. My dad always treated me like crap because he was convinced that my mom cheated on him (because she did - a lot) and trapped him into a lovely marriage and that I was not biologically his. For my 13th bday my dad bought me a paternity test and even though the test results came back that I am indeed his, he accused me (or my mother) of sleeping with the test guy. lol. I have also done a ancentryDNA test and also matched with all his relatives, so i’m pretty sure that unfortunately he is my bio dad. For my birthday, my dad got me one of those 50 page astrology shart things which was pretty cool. Way cooler than a paternity test, imo. AITA for calling a woman in the supermarket a creep quote:Today I took my 3 month old twins to the supermarket by myself while my wife had a day to herself (she is a stay at home and I have been working a lot more due to the holidays) Uhh? Who the gently caress starts handling random stranger's nude babies? That's weird!!

InsertPotPun posted:have an exotic food day. sunday funday is to go to _________town and buy a bunch of local foods. The weirdest part to me is that the "exotic" food at restaurants is pretty much always the best thing on the menu. Hell yeah I'll have whatever bizarre special you're offering, gimme them crickets or kidneys or bird's nests or whatever. Like do they just go to poo poo restaurants that deliberately put items they're not equipped to cook properly on the menu, or are they just both picky eaters? Sports bar crab sounds like the former, but also this has been going on for several years?

No bitch I'm taking my son to the store because I enjoy spending time with him. Also finding changing tables in mens rooms was always a unique challenge that I never really thought about until I had a kid. My son is 7 now so I haven't needed one for years but I still take note every time I go into a public restroom.

The sidewalk in front of her physical therapy office had both a ramp and stairs with a handrail, and it turned out the handrail was loose and needed to be repaired. Best we (and the people in the office, they were great about it once pointed out) can figure, anyone who would have needed to rely on the handrail had just used the ramp until we caught that, and everyone else had seen the rail without thinking about it, or just dismissed the wobble since it didn't consciously become a thing to deal with. I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I still miss, but that time opened my eyes to trying to notice as much of it as I can both when done well and not.

You would be absolutely shocked how many middle-aged women will just touch a baby without asking. When I wear my daughter in a carrier I have had to literally smack peoples' hands away, and I don't feel the least bit bad about the reaction. I've rarely had anyone not ask before petting my dog, but a human? Fair game in their mind.

Yea, my mom was disabled for most of my life, so I got sensitive to accessibility stuff like that. Like I currently work in an office, and if a person in a wheelchair tried to come in for whatever reason, there are at least three barriers I know of that they would not be able to overcome. So I guess wheelchair bound people just don't get to work at this company! I see poo poo like that all the time, but the most response I get is "oh yea, that sucks. Oh well!" and no one cares. It's kind of infuriating at times. Soysaucebeast fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Nov 23, 2021 |

AITA for standing up for my girlfriend when she didn't like my mom's joke, even though I didn't get the issue?quote:I've been dating "Anna" for a year and a half and her and my mom have never clicked. She finds my mom rude and overbearing (she is overbearing in a weird way where she is never around but when she stops by for an hour, packs in a couple months' worth of judgment and then has to run) She especially doesn't like my mom's sense of humor and finds her loud and annoying. My mom is super outgoing. I've been calling my mom out on some of her rude and entitled behavior, and my mom's attitude is mostly that if we don't like her, we don't have to be around her, but why should she change. My mom has said in private that she finds Anna extremely uptight and hard to be around.

AITA for covertly losing weight as a bridesmaid & refusing to be set up with her friend after overhearing the bride call me fat?quote:My (30/F) friend Kate's (30/F) wedding was last weekend. We went to grad school together but haven't seen each other in person in about two years, though we've FaceTimed and kept up enough since then enough to where she invited me to be in her wedding. (However, a large part of this is that her fiance Kyle (30/M) has EIGHT groomsmen and she needed enough people). About six months before the wedding the bridesmaids were all talking in a group chat on Discord, and I overheard Kate (who must have thought she was on mute or that her voice wouldn't carry) rather snidely turn to Kyle and say that I would "round out" the group because I would be a good "counterweight" to her fiance's friend Tim, the idea being that Tim and I were both obese. When she moved back toward the mic and said something about not being on mute, I acted like I couldn't hear anything, and said something like "Yeah, you were really far away, you sounded like you were underwater, I couldn't hear you." dont worry there's at least one redditor saying YTA for not dating Tim, who by her account didn't even ask her out himself

Beachcomber posted:However "You ruined my wedding." isn't really a joke, it's just abuse. What?! Bride made no comments about gf's appearance, gf unprompted brought it up, bride made a dismissive joke that was interpreted by all present as being facetious. If the bride has responded with "Who cares, forget about it!" would the accusation be she's dismissing the concerns of others, and gaslighting? If you go looking for abuse you'll find it everywhere. That point that's brought up often is bang-on here: This version of events (assuming true, yadda yadda) written by the OP paints them in the most flattering light. He and his gf still come off as self-centered navel-gazers trying to find umbrage at normal conversation. And that's before the whole "chasing down people on their honeymoon so you can start petty fights" thing.

I have known some people with trouble understanding sarcasm, and vowing that you will remember someone’s fashion choice on your deathbed after they have apologized and when you didn’t even tell people that they were going to a wedding seems like a *pretty clear* joke. to me, at least, that means the only reasons to get offended by the mom dismissing anna’s fashion transgression are: 2) that the mom is saying that anna didn’t actually have the power to ruin the wedding, implying that annas presence isn’t as key to the wedding as all that, and anna is insulted by that and/or 2) that anna is to be pitied and wasn’t expected to meet the wardrobe requirements on account of being a dirty poor, and anna is insulted by that either way anna is taking it waaaay too personally.
