AITA for yelling at mom for doing something that could get me fired?quote:I (22F) got my first job in the film industry. I have told my parents multiple times they cannot share anything about my job with anyone as I signed an NDA. I don’t tell them top secret info but I have told them what the movie name is and the stars of the movie as they ask me about my job often. All of that info is available online via entertainment websites. The NDA says we can’t even say we work on the movie on IMDB or LinkedIn until after it comes out, but a handful of people have already disregarded that and nothing has happened. I think essentially the studio will only do something if you spoil the plot or post images of sets and stuff. Will get in trouble if anyone knows Secret. Of course I tell family Secret!

The only time I’ve ever encountered it was when my wife put together a birthday dinner for me at a reasonably fancy restaurant. She got a menu with pricing, everyone else, including me, got a so-called “blind” menu. For hosted group events like that, it makes sense. But for dates, it’s a recipe for disaster - just depends on whether the restaurant or the customer decides to be sexist.

It probably doesn’t apply to movie industry drones (because they have no rights), but jobs with actual important secrets, like undercover police work or secret government research or whatever, have whole processes in place for telling your loved ones and letting them know what they can and cannot share.

pentyne posted:I mean, "arguing about discipline" is mostly likely one of the parents wants to beat the poo poo out of the kid to make him act right, and good money is on the OP if he thinks that kind of tough love honesty to a 12 year old is appropriate. I don't know about that, the part with the dad having majority custody during the separation because the mom cannot tolerate the kid enough for equal split jumped out at me a bit.

Glad that one had a happy ending. I think an overlooked factor in people going absolutely insane over weddings is that there's entire industries dedicated to specifically encouraging them to do so.

Its hard too, because you're told all the time that "Wedding poo poo Is Expensive" and then when the nice caterer breaks it down for you and says "Really, its only $35/head" and you think "35 sounds reasonable given that there's apps, salad, entree, dessert" and then you remember you're marrying into a catholic family and there's easily 8000 people on his side and then poo poo gets dark.

AITA for refusing to speak to my mother since thanksgivingquote:So I, 23F, haven’t spoken to my mom, 45F, since Thanksgiving because of her new husband, 37M. Both me and my mother have a migraine condition that literally puts us out of commission until it’s gone. I’m talking not even able to drink water because I’ll throw it up, moving to a different position in bed is sometimes too much for me.

Saying you won't talk to one person before a different person apologizes to you sucks, though. I think it matters what her mother said in those texts, and we aren't told.

Fil5000 posted:Ok, I get THAT but then sending them away at the door seems pointless. If the mom had any intention of apologizing on her husband’s behalf or otherwise talk in a way that didn’t involve just pretending he wasn’t a piece of poo poo, she had plenty of opportunity to communicate that before being sent away. Like we can assume the OP is being deliberately cagey and hasn’t actually communicated that she is willing to talk once an effort to apologize has been made, but it’s hard to infer from a body of text where she explicitly says she made it clear at least once.

AITA for telling my mom about a message her bf sent mequote:For context, I (20f) received a text late last night from my moms (57f) bf (53m). They’ve been together for a few months and mostly it’s been good, but there have been a few fights here and there. For example, a month or so ago, he was making jabs about my moms weight and that really hurt her feelings, and frankly, really pissed me off. But he apologized and we moved past it, or so I thought.
