Evil Willow posted:That "friend" sounds so bloody exhausting to be around, and it's about time someone called her out on it. There's a time and a place, yelling "poop" after being told your friend's dad is in hospital is neither the time nor the place. Plus, the friends telling OP to just say "yes, of course you're hilarious!" are just as bad as poop girl. Strong vibes of someone who never grew out of their Invader Zim phase. IRL manic pixie dream girls are exhausting, it turns out.

Love the new title. Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA for telling my friend “you’re not loving funny” and making her cry? The trash took itself out. from her and anyone siding with her. AITA: we had a college fund for our daughter, but since she’s not going to college we’re not giving her the money. Even though we did for our oldest son quote:Our daughter(18F) is in 12th grade, but has decided she doesn’t want to go to college and wants to obtain her real estate license instead, the way her uncle did. She turned 18 recently, and is now confused as to why we aren’t giving her the money that we’ve saved since she was little. We’ve put 1500$ towards her post HS education and/or adult life every month since she was born, to the month she turned 18. We did the same thing for her brother.

Why give it to him now? There aren't many groups of people I would trust less with money than newly enlisted soldiers. He's gonna buy a Dodge Charger/Avenger with a 30% APR mark my words.

Its poorly disguised bait. Why yes, a woman who is around 40 years old totally writes like that, and is confused why a half million dollars being retracted on a whim is upsetting.

AITA for quitting a family job without notice after I found out my dad was paying me less than my brother?quote:Growing up my dad had a small construction company flipping houses. My brother (20 M) and I (18 F) both worked for my dad on and off while we were growing up. One summer, upon speaking to my brother who had just quit construction and gotten a new job, I discovered my dad had been paying my brother $2 more an hour than me (I was making minimum wage). When I asked my dad about this, he admitted it, saying that he should get more because he is older, and “gives him less grief” (my dad and I are both outspoken personalities and don’t always get along), even though he has admitted on more than one occasion that my work is more skilled than my brothers. When he refused to match my pay to his, I quit on the spot. He approached me several times after to try to convince me to come back to work, as I was his only grunt man at the time and my quitting left him in somewhat of a bind to complete deadlines, but I refused. My mom said she agreed with me, but refused to pick sides and stayed out of it. It’s been 5 years since, and it was brought up today at a family event. It still hurts to think about it, but my dad still stands by his decision to pay me and my brother differently. Was I the rear end in a top hat? i think your dad shouldn't hire 13-year olds

She has never had a not-abusive partner and does not know how actual relationships work.

BIG FLUFFY DOG posted:A person who has a kid at 20 is maybe prone to impulsive decisions that lead to estrangement Yeah, no doubt. It's just really weird to me at 39 years old. Of my friends who have kids, which is a minority, most waited until 35+. I think I know one person I graduated HS with who has a teenaged kid. You see tons of out of touch 45 year old parents in these reddit stories. I know I'm out of touch in the sense that I don't know what music or TV is cool but I hope I'm not boomer brained in the more disastrous ways displayed in this thread. I guess it won't matter since I'll never have kids, though.

mind the walrus posted:This is why I always warn the subsection of my friends who still want to be tradwives/stahm/whatever and let their spouse be the breadwinner-- if you give a spouse financial control, they're going to assume they have total control. Goodwill between parties in a capitalist system does not exist when one party is financially subservient to the other. Hubby is a massive POS, but this is a very expected outcome from anyone who feels like they're "the boss." Also note that it's probably the wife's house, quote:Also, the reason I said it's my house I meant that it's my house too and not as if it's mine alone or hers alone. My wife has huge part in it and she definitely gets a say in what goes on and what doesn't and we don't usually diasgree except for this issue. What he leaves unsaid is speaking volumes about who has the actual title to the property.

I guess it won't matter since I'll never have kids, though. I could have written this exact post, I just turned 40 and never wanted children. The kids in my circle are all 5 and under. Seeing the posts from the 15, 16 year olds taking about their parents in their mid to late 30s is very strange to me. Until very very recently, anytime I heard someone approximately my age announcing a pregnancy I would think, "but you're so young!" Except now I'm old. I do know of some people I graduated HS with who have older teenage children which breaks my brain even more.

I grew up in small-town USA; I think 25% of the girls in my senior class were pregnant or had kids. In the 7th grade, one of my friends mentioned how mad her mom was that my friend's older sister was pregnant. Not because of the pregnancy itself, but because it would make her a 29-year-old grandmother.

Millennials are in many ways not as out of touch as we might normally be due to the connective tissue of internet culture, though of course we're still plenty out of touch. There is this insane cultural chasm between like... any younger Gen X who hopped on the internet train early enough, and anyone older than that. For now we are on the right side of that. Though the old side of that lol. Like we're the toothless coots of the same tribe that includes modern kids I guess (and older Gen X up are an entirely different species).

Yeah, I barely have grasped the chore of making a video on TikTok and then rehosting on IG, only to get promoted by the IG algorithm, you have to crop the video down to take off the TikTok watermark. It's what the kids do these days.
