Like, it would be great if the brother magically figured out what was going on but I can't fault the guy for not having any clue. Especially during, you know, a pandemic, getting hugged by a stranger would set off massive alarm bells.

Like half of the posts in r/AITA are getting locked because of their rule against people who are just bickering and don't really have an issue to be decided. Merry Christmas!

Cthulu Carl posted:The kids should stop asking and just consume massive amounts of food that gives them the shits, then leave the bathroom door open while taking the loudest, greasiest shits humanly possible. If anyone closes the door, they open it right back up - even if it means getting up mid-chocolate fountain - and scream through the farts and the pain "WE FOLLOW THE RULES IN THIS HOUSE." Just go apeshit on every closed door in the house anytime you see one. Demonstrate that the lessons have been learned, WITH ENTHUSEASM. Dad pooping? MOM pooping? They have adult time? RULES ARE RULES DAD.

El Spamo posted:They have the mentality of a Kender, "I'm just borrowing it" or some bs More like the mentality of that guy who got his wife's beehives hauled away by some random when she was out of town and when she called the police tried telling them that because they were married everything they owned belonged to both of them.

I'm reading that 'no closed doors' story closely and it sounds like the only issue is the main office room in the house and he's done the thing of phrasing the issue ambiguously but 'keep the office door open so I can be sure you aren't slacking off in study time' isn't the worst view in the world.

Haha, all the commenters on Reddit are yelling at OP for that reason. That since the girl NEVER ACTUALLY SAID ANYTHING, the only reasonable conclusion the brother could take is she was either a pickpocket, or just mentally unwell

"the computer room" is the spare bedroom with a massive corner "desk"/hutch/shelving unit with a giant beige CRT on top and beige tower in a special "tower" cabinet. the only acceptable activities are researching for school on Encarta, using Microsoft Word, or playing 2-3 pre-approved games. edit: "surfin the web" can be done in special, pre-approved circumstances but the door stays OPEN

AITA for telling my daughter to get over herself?quote:I was blessed with three beautiful children and unfortunately, my eldest, Brooke, passed away when she was 5 years old. It rocked my world and I know I haven’t been the same since. I went through therapy and still attend to this day, but a part of me died too.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for telling my daughter to get over herself? quote:I feel the resentment is a two way street. My living children were too young to get their sister’s death and I had to ignore my pain a few years as they acted as though nothing was wrong. I don’t see why I should continue to hide my grief now that they can understand. quote:They should miss her. Pain leads to happy memories. Why would they want to forget their sister? quote:I love Marnie and my son. But I do feel I was forced to silence my grief to care for them. I eventually sent them to live with their dad for a bit, so I could focus on my grief and mourn the loss. I had partial custody after that and it’s for the best. I’m not in the position to be the mom they need. quote:Even if they don’t remember her, they could humor me. Watch home movies. Look at photos. Have a drat memorial table. Well. At least she knows she's a bad mom.

Is the mother of the bride paying for the wedding? If so, the memorial table is lovely but absolutely something she can do. That said, it is considered best practice to make the bride the focus of the wedding day not a massive gaping open wound of a psyche.

LOL, came here to post that one. I find it hard to have even a modicum of sympathy. At this point there's a very thin line between "My daughter who died decades ago has to be the center of attention at my daughter's wedding" and "I have to be the center of attention at my daughter's wedding." quote:They were 3. She was 5. quote:Do you even want to continue to have a relationship with your living children? quote:Honestly, if they refuse to honor Brooke’d memory, no.

She also mentions that the father took the kids for "a bit" so she could work on processing her grief. How long was that bit?quote:They were 3 when she died, lived with their dad full time ages 4 to 11. Moved back in with me for a year when I felt I was stable then they chose to return to dad.

I am curious to know if Brooke was the golden child when she was alive too. Like, if she hadn't died would OP be arguing now about how the bride should put her sister at a special table and dedicate the wedding speeches to her.

I figured it out.quote:That year after Brooke passed was difficult. A lot happened in it and everyone kept saying “stay strong”. I didn’t want to. I wanted to fall apart but couldn’t. quote:My kids were born before Brooke got sick and passed away. I wouldn’t have chosen to have more after her, trust me. Someone in the reddit comments mentioned she used the word "I" 16 times over 14 sentences.
