pentyne posted:So am I reading this correctly and the sister has no job? Yes. This is the evolved form of one partner spontaneously bringing home a pet without consulting their better half. Bringing home a freeloading human without discussing it with their partner. Even if OP were paying 100% of the bills, it would be lovely to permanently move in an additional person to a house without discussing it with his wife who also lives there but of course this is not the case and the wife is expected to cheerfully support the wannabe influencer and her cats. r/relationships:She even tried to convince me to throw away her cats. AITA for refusing to accept my father dating other women after the passing of my mother? quote:I (23F) have been living with my father (49M) for the past three years since my mother has passed. My mother died from uterine cancer and before she passed, on her death bed, my father promised to not think or seek other women after my mother died and that he sought out to be a loyal husband after her passed. Shortly after my mother’s passing, I decided to move in with my father since I felt bad that he was alone in the house he shared with my mother. I moved in with my (4F) daughter and from then on everything seemed to be going well. My father seemed happy to have my daughter and I around. Well after COVID hit, my job decided to keep me home and work from home for the time being. I stayed home, helped my dad around the house, and took care of my daughter in the meantime.

PetraCore posted:That said I'm not exactly sympathetic to the person wanting to throw out another person's cats. Sister needs a day job, wife is being cruel, OP is playing 'woe is me caught in the middle' while addressing neither of these things properly. Nah, if you don’t want someone else’s cats in you house, or if you don’t want someone else in your house barring extenuating circumstances, you’re usually not an rear end in a top hat to tell them to get out.

Tobermory posted:AITA for telling my BIL he needs to leave my house? Nah nah nah. It's 2022, the age of tiktok and youtube. You gotta film poo poo when it happens and upload it for public shaming and e-penis lengthening. I mean, clout. The kids these days call it clout, rght? Bonus points if you get enough videos and views you show this moron how stupid he looks like. Hell, do a lil slideshow with all the comments. Also the person edited with this comment "Edit: they came by a day later my mom invited every over for dinner and dessert. My sister wanted to go but he didn’t want to, so she was going to leave without him. He got mad at that and grumpily threw himself in the car. But he never came inside to eat. He sat in the car for 2+ hours while everyone else was inside talking and eating." TWO HOURS. Go for a walk, loser.

How many "influencers" are there that actually make money? How many of those make more than slave wages or work less than every waking moment of every single day building parasocial relationships with people who, in all likelihood, will someday murder them?

I've met folks who fall in two categories. The first is influencing as a side hustle in some niche hobby. They'd be doing the hobby anyway but the influencer dollars either offsets some of the costs or lets them do more or bigger projects than would be in the budget. The ones I've met who make serious money are using influencing as covert advertising for some form of sex work.

AITA for sending my family an angry email because they still speak to my ex-husband and even have him over, especially in light of his present “relationship” with a girl 20 years younger than him?quote:So basic background is I’m 42, two kids age 14 and 12 and signed divorce papers in April after almost 2 years of it being drug out trying to get my fair share from him. The details of “why” are not important but I’m angry, embarrassed, lost and sad any given moment of the day. A lot of this has to do with feeling like I’ve been “replaced” by a 23 year old surfing instructor who is everything I’m not. My husband and kids claims that she is just his friend and helping him learn his life long desire to surf but Jesus Christ...give me a break. You can kind of figure it out pretty easily that the OP is a total piece of poo poo, but she then absolutely ethered herself in her replies when asked "hey, so why does your entire family hate you?" quote:Very condensed version I was seduced and basically mind controlled (like I said very condensed version) into a having an affair with a supplier at my company

the Spain Virus posted:How many "influencers" are there that actually make money? I would say the majority of my wife’s middle school students say they want to be an influencer when they grow up. Apparently one of her coworkers has a husband that ended up quitting his job because his YouTube channel got so popular, and one of the kids somehow figured out that he was this teacher’s husband, and started cyberstalking and physically stocking them. The school of course refused to do anything about it until she went to court.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:loving hate it when my father's desire for basic human connection blows up my free babysitter. I love how OPs who are bad guys will always tell on themselves in ways like this; it's so funny. I wonder if stories like this are less common in countries with free/inexpensive childcare for working parents, like France or if like being bankrupted by having to pay for medical treatment it's a uniquely American dysfunction.

Feigning an excuse like being ill is a less desirable way of handling it that the path he chose. Pretending not to be mad is harder for most than actually acting mad.

TheWeedNumber posted:fully support this OP's decision to dip out They're so angry because they figured he would quietly babysit to avoid exactly what ended up happening. These people rely on the fact that most others would be frustrated and upset but still go ahead and do whatever in order not to make a scene, especially during something like a wedding. It's similar to the people that drop off their children at someone's front door and then go no contact for a few hours. They're banking on the fact that most people would just watch the kid rather than actually calling the police or child services or whatever.

As near as I can tell, the most important part of being an influencer is buying expensive things (and "experiences") and showing them off. It's mostly a way for rich kids to get even richer off wealth porn, and why more young people should aspire to be gulag commandants instead of influencers

AITA for getting angry at my wife for getting my mom in a potentially dangerous situation? quote:My mom (57F) recently, came over to visit me (29M) and my wife (29F). We had dinner together and my mom had like ten drinks in just two hours. After dinner, my mom was going to drive home. But she was way too drunk to drive. I was gonna tell her to stay but she had to go to work the next day. I wanted to drive her home (it's only a 30-minute drive). But my wife told me it was one of her friend's birthday tomorrow and she needed to get them a gift. There was a mall on the way between my mom's place and our home. So she decided she would drive my mom home and get a gift for her friend on the way.

We're just hanging out casually and I wouldn't say we're friends, but we talk every day. getting a random babysitter hired seems like the least worst outcome of leaving your child with a travelling stranger
