AITA... showing up unplanned asking to be fed?quote:For Thanksgiving my family (2 adults, 3 kids) drove a long distance (6+ hours) to celebrate with my sister and her family. We had dinner on arrival (take out), Thanksgiving, then a planned brunch the next day all at her house. Saturday morning we show up thinking we were having a quick breakfast before she has her friends over for a 2nd brunch (done separately due to covid).

Something tells me one or both of the parties involved here are exhausting (I've got a bet on which one!) and, once again, we are literally talking about biting the hand that feeds. In the stated text, I can't imagine turning them away. But you know this isn't the first time, you know the kind of poo poo that was admitted to (can't both to show up for dinner we agreed to show up for) has happened A LOT, etc. All aboard the first stop on the low/no contact train, CHOO CHOOO.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA... showing up unplanned asking to be fed? This is a very weirdly told story that relies on everyone else being strangely rude to the OP for no apparent reason, so I’m just going to assume there probably is a reason and it’s that she’s an rear end in a top hat.

I bet, if you sat them down and asked them, that they want a son who is respectful, generous, and resilient. But the follow up question to that is: "How do you think you get there?" and they just draw a blank.

from r/legal advice Boss fired me on thanksgiving while blackout drunk. quote:
quote:The father is Master P? Master P is actually a really big philanthropist in both time and money. He's shown up at events to help black teens in Louisville impacted by gun violence for years now and he has zero connection to Louisville at all. Just picked the city at random and started doing poo poo. He's a really solid dude.

Countdown until he floods her phone with texts about him being right that she is a gold-digger, etc. AITA for wanting support while my husband is gone quote:I (20F) and my husband (22M) got married almost two months ago. He went off to Army basic training 4 days after we got married, and I’ve been a wreck. I 100% know and understand the intensity of training and I love that everyone is so worried about him and his well-being. Even his mother (who isn’t supportive of the Army decision) is worried about him. What I have a hard time with is people saying they’ll check in on me and invite me out occasionally. He comes home in 2 weeks and I haven’t been checked on ONCE. In fact, I’m actively told that what I’m going through is nothing compared to what he is going through. I just want some support because I can’t keep giving and giving and not receiving. AITA for wanting someone to check on me? drat, we lost this one, she didn't read the Military Wife post.

Alchenar posted:They walked past their free hotel breakfast. OP walked straight past a hotel buffet to demand a cooked breakfast -- not even cornflakes, for pity's sake, but toast, coffee, and tea -- from somebody getting ready to throw a party. Comments say, and I agree, she was planning on bulldozing her way into being included in brunch. The fact that OP's brother-in-law was all ready to lay the hammer down about "No, we are not feeding you" makes it clear that this is not a one-time event. It also comes out that the hostess had served thanksgiving dinner, plus another dinner that OP didn't show up for. Another night, OP's parents paid for delivery, but OP thought they got credit because they'd volunteered to pay. There are a lot of missing missing reasons, bu they're hinted at.

Arsenic Lupin posted:He's in basic training. He can't take calls. That said, everybody else is right that he's going through a lot more than she is. Read carefully, I kinda glossed it myself. But she's mad that non-husband people are not contacting her, while through phrasing making it quite clear she isn't herself reaching out for company.

Xakura posted:AITA for not calling my husband "my honored husband" in front of his parents? Doesn't this hinge on whether anyone actually expects/ wants to be called that and it's socially acceptable? Is OP's original understanding of etiquette correct? They never explicitly say that they were wrong, just that they overreached in dictating Japanese norms.

Smirking_Serpent posted:AITA... showing up unplanned asking to be fed? An easy part in determining OP is the rear end in a top hat here is their insistance that the issue is their kids won't be fed to try and drive home how terrible the action is. Grab some of that free continental on your way out as car snacks if nothing else, it's like they actively chose to avoid it to use the particular issue as cudgel.

MagusofStars posted:
Yes and no. Basic Training is the basic soldier stuff they teach everyone and lasts about 2 months. Depending on your job you may get leave to go home before continuing your specialty or in my case its all one thing so I was gone 5 months. 15 years ago you wrote letters home at set points to basically say "I'm still alive and the drill sergeants aren't abusing us" in the beginning that morphed into phone calls on the weekends, usually for about 15 minutes towards the middle. If you no one else was around there wasn't a time limit so some guys would refuse Sunday leave or going to church to talk on the phone longer. I think the last month they would give us our cell phones back sometimes and we could talk however long we wanted. The only way this woman would have talked to him more than once a week is if they wrote to each other every night.
