OrthoTrot posted:Are we reading the same post? They both agree he does often buy her presents bit they're not what she wants. "She just wants a call" doesn't seem accurate at all. She's complaining, explicitly, about the calibre of the presents and messages she receives. I think we're focusing on different things. She does say he needs to start bring more thoughtful with his gifts and he really wants to make it about the fact that she doesn't like his gifts because they're cheap, but she mentions he didn't even get her a card for several years and he says he forgets her birthday completely a lot. So I read it as he usually never gets her anything at all and he's mad because she hasn't told him what she wants and he can't be bothered to actually ask but he he's broke and that's his only excuse. I'd be more sympathetic to the charge of weaponized gift giving if her accusations were more like "every year all I get is a card and a phone call, he never buys me anything really nice though" instead of "one year I got an sms and flowers a month later, in the past I've gotten stuff he probably found next to the register at the supermarket, I wish he would show me he knows anything about me or thinks about me literally ever or at all".

AITA for not letting my girlfriend use my charger?quote:So me (M28) and my girlfriend (F32) live in Canada, our province was preparing for a major storm. Her phone charger had broken the night before, no big deal she was going to pick up a new one the next day. She had done all the running around getting gas for the snow blower, groceries to eat when we lost power. comment posted:The bar for men is so low, it's a tavern in Hades.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for not letting my girlfriend use my charger? lmao amazing, what a loving tool. we have this conversation periodically and we're both always like oh no im at like 70% go ahead and charge up for a while My mom cheated on my stepdad and says my brother is her only kid now. quote:Hi all, title may sound like something else but I will explain. I (20F) gave my stepdad (52M) proof that my mom(42F) was cheating on him and that it wasn’t just an emotional affair like we all thought. (Reason I did was because she involved my 12 year old sister and guilt tripped her so I decided I would step in and show him) When I was younger , my mom asked me to make her a Facebook account using one of my several emails. I did and naturally forgot about it until recently when she asked me to reset the password and let her in. Update: My mom cheated on my stepdad and says my brother is her only child now. (tw: self-harm ideation) quote:Hi all, Im sorry for not updating for awhile. I have been attending therapy and dealing with the drama. My stepdad has changed his mind so many times on wanting to leave and then stay and then leave and then stay. I think rn he wants to stay with her as he wants the kids to grow up with both parents until they turn 18. We had a family meeting shortly after my post where mom was suppose to apologize to us. man really sad all around. talk about a mother not worthy of the title

Stepdad thought he could fix the situation and stop Mom from cheating by physically moving her away from her affair partner, then by controlling her phone and social media accounts, and now he has some scheme to gather evidence for a divorce, but not yet. I really hope OP doesn't drive herself crazy "gathering evidence," especially since it's probably going to be either unnecessary or useless. Mom strikes me as the kind of person who would be like "My traitor family doesn't understand, I only cheated because I really really felt like it" in front of a judge. But IANAL so I don't know what the court does when someone is like "I want to divorce her because she cheated on me, several years ago, and I decided to forgive her and stay together for the kids, but only for a while."

She'd probably reek of BO as apparently you can't take a shower unless you have child care lined up. Or maybe I foolishly changed the channel too early at the end of TGIF and missed a 20/20 episode about babies dying because mom wanted to shower.

AITA for telling my son i’d rather have his ex wife as a daughter than him as my son after he got cut out of the will?quote:16 years ago my son Matthew had a daughter with his now ex wife Josie. I have always thought of Josie as my own daughter, so when they divorced 7 years ago due to my son cheating, I was conflicted and disappointed. Josie wasn’t particularly close with any of her family, so My husband and I naturally took them in. Josie was an angel, she had insisted that we didn’t have to lift a finger more than before we had taken them in and though she was hurt, she kept civil around Matthew.

I think there's also a legal protection too by providing a trivial (say, $1) amount in an inheritance. I don't want to take legal advice from podcasts and YT videos, but I want to say I heard some discussion about it meaning that the person can't claim that they didn't get anything in the inheritance and thus are due something because they DID get something however insultingly small. I'm sure estate law is really complicated, and people argue all the time over inheritances and wills that aren't well defined and it isn't clear who's supposed to get how much of what per the deceased's wishes. But if you give someone $1 they can't argue that they were meant to get more because their share was explicitly defined. e: Apparently not, I googled it. Simply having a will and not mentioning someone is enough, so the $1 thing is PURELY a dick move. El Spamo fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jan 21, 2022 |

The point about explicitly giving someone a dollar is they can't say they were forgotten. People can still contest it, but its harder to pick up a lawyer that will take the case if its very well spelled out.

I think there you can be legally entitled to a cut of an inheritance if the estate holder like owed you alimony or child support or something, but otherwise, you can only actually contest it by making a case that it was somehow manipulated, either by overt fraud or coercion or because the willee was mentally unsound at the time it was written. "To my rear end in a top hat son who disowned his own daughter, I leave nothing, and instead I leave X money and Y assets directly to my granddaughter" holds exactly as much sway as a spite dollar would. The son has zero groundsto contest given that he has made it very public that he was told he'd be cut from the will, even if the will itself merely avoids mentioning him altogether. Of course, you can still sue without a proper case if you've got a lawyer willing to go for it, and the estate has to respond, costing you both legal fees. I think the trope of giving out a token sum is more of a "here is something, which is more than you'll have if you sue, which will just waste everyone's time and money including yours" move to discourage someone suing out of spite. A dollar is not going to appease someone who is able and willing to sue the estate. E: also you can contest a will that predates you being born/married/etc. to the deceased, that is the other major grounds that also do not apply to this case Zulily Zoetrope fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jan 21, 2022 |

AITA for telling my son that if he doesn't break up with his girlfriends, I'll disinherit him?quote:Well, my son's name is Lewis and he's 20 years old.

Realistically being omitted is almost never going to be enough to successfully contest a will that was written after you were born, but explicitly spelling it out makes it faster and easier to slam dunk the case if they insist on being a dick and trying to drag it into court.

This freaked me out, because Chelsea lives over thirty minutes away, and I don't want those two women taking my son away from me and my husband any further than they already have.
