A 5'6", 140lb woman just lifted the Dinnie stones (733 lbs and essentially the Everest of strongman) so maybe we just stop with this gendered bullshit.
It’s amazing how the lady on juice couldn’t do it but this regular rear end lady walks in off the street in her timberlands and picks that poo poo up.
The fact that she failed twice and still did it is pretty amazing because of the amount of energy you expend on a failure.

Not going to lie was literally refreshing the original daily to see an update... Very satisfying, I'm glad she got out while still young.
Me too! That update was everything I'd hoped for.

A refreshing update.
UPDATE: AITA for "imposing my culture" even though I thought I was just being nice?
quote:First of all I just want to thank everyone for the overwhelming support and replies on my first post. I'm looking forward to going over to everyone's houses for dinner and I'll be sure to bring all the things you said you liked :-) many flower lovers out there! I'm now also apparently the DIL to a lot of hopeful parents that replied as well so I hope I can deliver on expectations!
---
After my last update I told my bf I was sick and tired of him dancing around the issue with his parents and I was going to go over to their house whether he liked it or not. At this point I think he realized that whatever he was doing had backfired so he sat down all angry and told me he'd explain. I sat and he told me that he'd done something very spur of the moment and that he'd texted me from his dad's phone then blocked the number but begged me to listen. That he just needed to get his parents off me for a while and to not leave.
Apparently his parents had started hinting at him about marriage since my bf and I talked a lot about it. I fully expected to marry him as I said in another comment, and was honestly expecting a proposal in late spring since that's when we met. Four years dating didn't bother me but I was getting excited to settle down. However, my bf apparently realized that he absolutely didn't want to commit to anything and wanted to experiment and have fun since I "wasn't being fun anymore". Honestly that just made me cry since we were each other's firsts for everything and usually very good at communicating our needs.
His grand plan was to get him mad at me so I would beg for forgiveness and then he'd only accept an open relationship as an answer. Absolutely brilliant plan I know. He'd made up his parents getting mad but didn't expect me to blow off dinner completely and it's like "hitting a jackpot", his words not mine. He went over for dinner, hid the flowers and said we'd gotten into a huge fight but he was "going to fix it" but I needed space. After he confessed all this he said he was very sorry but really didn't want to miss out on new experiences when he was still young and would I consider an open relationship but pretend ours was strained with his parents so they wouldn't get suspicious?
And.....I laughed. I laughed his rear end right out the door and told him absolutely not and to leave me alone while I packed because I wanted to have some new experiences too!!! He never stopped begging me to stay but I left to sleep at a friend's. After calming down for a few days I cemented the breakup and finally, actually went over to his parent's. My ex-bf's dad never even noticed the phone missing but still apologized and his mom was a mess. I did and still love them and will eat dinner there without him as often as I can. I won't lie that I'm sad about four years down the drain, but that's life. And if that was my ex's best possible plan then I dodged the bullet by a mile.

AITA For Uninviting My Parents To My Wedding After They Called My Fiancé A Cradle Robber?
quote:Me (23F) & my fiancé Jake (27M) are getting married in three months. He proposed to me almost a year ago, just after my grad ceremony & I moved in with him as soon as the lease on my apartment was up. We met in college, I was a freshman and he was a senior. We had 1 class together and knew each other just in passing. Sometimes I ran into him on campus, but we never really hung out. He graduated the following May, and I didn’t meet him again until I was out bar crawling with my friends for the New Year just a few weeks after my 21st birthday. We ran into him, he bought me a couple drinks, and the rest is history.
My parents have always liked Jake. They say he’s well-mannered, intelligent, hard-working, etc. I’ve rarely heard criticism from them about him until 2 weeks ago, when my parents came over to have dinner and mom brought along my HS yearbook. She told me she finally found it (my parents moved while I was in college and a lot of things are still boxed up or misplaced) and she wanted to share these memories with Jake, then asked if he happened to have his own yearbook. Surprisingly, he did, it was tucked away in a box of stuff in a hallway closet. When my mom saw it and got quiet, then asked Jake if he had an older brother. Jake doesn’t have any siblings, which she knows, so I was confused why she asked. Then she pointed out the year on his yearbook and said “that’s 4 years before [my name] graduated.” She was quiet for a few more seconds, then asked Jake if he graduated early, which made us both even more confused. When he said no, my mother’s face scrunched up and she asked Jake, verbatim, “Why are you with my baby girl? Don’t you think you should be with someone your own age? Cradle robbers disgust me, you have no respect for your partners or their parents.”
Needless to say, Jake and I were shocked. Before I could say anything, she started flipping out, accusing Jake of manipulating me, then tried to drag me out of the house, shouting nasty insults at my fiancé. I asked my dad to do something, but he seemed just as surprised by my mother’s outburst. He finally got up and tried to calm her, but it made her lash out even more. I told her to get out of my house or I’d call the police and she finally left, but minutes later Jake & I were getting nasty texts from her. I blocked her number on our phones, leading to my father calling the next day, asking why I blocked mom. I told him her behavior was inexcusable and that she was uninvited to my wedding. I also said she’s not allowed in my house or in my life until she apologizes to us. My father tried to defend her, saying I don’t understand everything and that I shouldn’t be so harsh. I uninvited him as well and have been ignoring his texts and calls. Jake says I may have taken it too far, but I think he’s blaming himself for my mother’s behavior and wants to bend to make her happy. I don’t really know though, am I the rear end in a top hat here?

Different Maternity test!
my 29f husband 32m asked for maternity test
quote:This is not a troll post. I really wish that this was a troll post. I know that you’re sitting there thinking that nobody can be this dumb, but I assure you, this man is.
I gave birth to our daughter two weeks ago. I have red hair and blue eyes and my husband has blonde hair and blue eyes. Our daughter has grayish-brown eyes and a tuft of dark brown hair, and is a bit darker than my husband or I. Both of my parents have very dark brown hair and brown eyes, as does the rest of my family (my mom’s parents are from Sicily and my dad immigrated from Greece, so on the darker side of white people) but I got the genetic mutation for red hair. This is only relevant because my husband apparently does not understand genetics.
Now, to make this perfectly clear, I did not cheat on my husband. He is convinced that it is not his baby because of how much darker her complexion is. To ease his mind, I said I wouldn’t be offended if he wanted a paternity test (I’ve got nothing to hide), but then he started insisting that I should have to get a maternity test as well.
Yeah. In his words, he doesn’t even trust me enough to trust that I’m the mother.
I’m very confused. I’ve tried to explain to him several times that he was there throughout all 38 weeks of my pregnancy. He watched me go from no bump to being very obviously pregnant. I asked him if he though that I had gotten someone else’s egg put into me and he just shrugged.
I’m at a loss. I’ve been trying to explain genetics and why I don’t need a maternity test to prove that it’s my child for two weeks now. I just legitimately do not know how to get through to him. Even his mom tried to explain it.
He’s usually very smart. He’s a software engineer. He has a masters degree and is planning on going back to school for his PhD. I swear that he usually isn’t this dumb. I just do not know what to do.
Please help me, I am at a loss. I seriously don’t know what to do. Can I even get a maternity test done? Do they do those?
update my husband wants a maternity test
quote:A few people asked for an update in the original post, so here it is.
Long story short, my husband isn’t stupid, he was just having a mental breakdown.
I guess the stress of being a new father just kind of got to him. He didn’t think (or want to acknowledge) that the baby was ours.
He had his first therapy session for this yesterday, and hopefully that will help.
Having a baby is obviously a really big change. Our sleep schedules are both messed up. Postpartum depression in men is a bigger issue than many people realize.
I’m doing my best to provide him with a good support system while taking care of a newborn. I think he’ll be okay in due time.
But for everyone wondering, to sum it up, he is not dumb and he is not cheating on me, he’s just going through a hard time right now.

Very true. Porn is just one of those areas where if you change out the noun for "porn" in the madlib of a typical post, people think it's more interesting than it is and will think it has a different answer, like "my neighbor destroyed my car" will not get a lot of clicks, but "my neighbor destroyed my tree" will, or "my lovely kid stole my friend's jewelry" will see minimal clicks because the answer is obvious, but "my lovely kid stole my friend's star wars toys" makes people think the answer is different for some reason.

AITA for signing my in laws out of my streaming services?
quote:On mobile so sorry for weird format.
Background: My husband(29m) and I(26f) stayed with his family for a couple years because I was pregnant and we needed somewhere to stay, we weren't planning on staying for so long but after the baby was born the pandemic hit, my husband lost his job, and I ended up needing emergency surgery that drained our savings. Despite this happening we still paid them $300-$600/month for bills and the streaming services.
After my kiddo was born my inlaws started bullying me, telling me I wasn't doing anything right, I wasn't feeding him enough/the right things (I fed him every 3.5 hours when he was 0-3 months and every 4.5 hours with baby food and bottle) they threw out baby food and forced me to make it myself i worked when I was pregnant andthey didnt like that, so at 6 months pregnant i quit. After 10 months postpartum i had my surgery and got another job as soon as I healed so we could afford the bill. They would tell my husband that I was a bad wife and mom for working night shift because it meant he had to cook for the kids and put them to bed when "thats the wifes job". They have also acted entitled to our things in MY storage unit and would go and take things from our room and not give it back, when confronted they would say, "everything in the house is to be shared!!"
So before we moved out I got onto my streaming services that I pay for and have been letting them use while we lived there(Netflix, Disney+, and Spotify) and logged them out and changed the passwords on them. My Brother in law texted my husband asking for the passwords and he told him to ask me. So he texted me asking me for them and I replied with, "why do you need them? We don't live there anymore so they don't need to be signed in to your devices." He got mad and told me I was being super petty and acting extremely ungrateful to them. I told him that I did appreciate their help during the pandemic but I didn't appreciate their behavior towards us while we stayed there, and since we no longer reside in the house, the services no longer need to be shared with them.
I feel bad because my husband is getting texts from both his family and cousins saying its an AH move to just cut them off the services like that without warning. So now I'm starting to think I was an AH and should just let them keep using them because they let us stay for so long even though we didn't plan on staying for as long as we did.
TL;DR: husband and I moved out of his families house and logged them out of our streaming services because of their treatment towards us during our time living there.

AITA for giving my girlfriend advice on spring break?
quote:My girlfriend said she was going to take her spring break off from work so she could do nothing for a full week.
I told her that’s the opposite of what she should do because I’m going to work the whole week to make extra money and she should do the same thing.
She got mad at me saying she needs a break and I guess we won’t be hanging out that week. I told her that maybe she should work her schedule shifts and she said she already put into the time off.
I told he I thought it was kinda irresponsible to waste a who week doing nothing and I’m you could do Uber Eats for extra money if you get bored.
She told me to stop pushing my hustle lifestyle onto her and she’s wanting to take a break from our relationship because I don’t care about her mental health. I wasn’t meaning it like that I just thought spring break would be a good time for her to make extra money because she’s complaining about it. Now she not talk to me at all and is planning a girls movie night because she says she taking a break from me too. I’m over here like wtf I was just trying to give her advice.

read that as "My lovely kid stole my friend's kidney"

You know, we've had plenty of "give me your kid," "give me your organs," and "my kid stole your whatever," but I can't recall "my lovely kid stole your organs, how dare you create drama by calling them out" just yet. It's only a matter of time.

AITA for telling step-sis her "disfigurement" is karma for being a trash human?
quote:I 27F am engaged to T 30M. We met when I was 8 and became BFFs, but lost contact when I moved in with dad, stepmom (SM), and step-sis V 29F when I was 15. 4 yrs ago, we found one another again and discovered we'd each had feelings for the other but were too afraid to say anything. I was afraid of ruining our friendship. T had insecurities about his appearance and believed I deserved better. T had an accident that caused injuries to his face, neck, and shoulder. Between surgeries and the accident, he has scarring and a facial prosthetic. He's struggled with self-image due to other people's perception of him and it took a lot to convince him that I do find him handsome.
V and SM are obsessed with appearance and judgmental of anyone who doesn't fit their beauty standards. I won't go in public with them because they berate strangers. My dad knew T, but I was hesitant to introduce him to SM and V because I know how they are. When T proposed, my dad insisted we visit for a celebration dinner so T could meet them. I warned T in advance and told him we didn’t have to go but didn’t want to disappoint dad.
At one point, SM asked if we were planning to have a photog at our wedding and if we’d thought about a date closer to Halloween because, “We could all wear masks! Wouldn’t that be fun?” Cue SM and V giggling. I was pissed off and T was uncomfortable. Then, V turned to T and asked, “Seriously. What happened to your face? It looks like someone set it on fire and tried to put it out with a hatchet.”
I lost my mind. T had to carry me from the house because I would've hurt her. T told me to relax and that it was fine. It wasn't. You don't insult the person I care about, who has been nothing but cordial, and expect me not to retaliate. Dad blew up my phone trying to apologize. I told him how hurtful they’d been, and how disgusting it was that two adults can degrade another human over something they have no control over. He told me SM was upset that I’d hurt V and expected me to apologize. I told him that wasn't happening. 2 weeks later, Dad tells me V was in a car accident and ended up with a nasty laceration on her forehead.
This is where I may be TA. I went to dads to get some stuff and V was laying on the couch crying on the phone about how her life was over because she was ugly and disfigured and on and on. I could've ignored her but didn’t. I said, “Now your outside matches your inside. Next time you feel the need to insult someone's looks, maybe take a look in the mirror first before you open your mouth.”
V burst into tears. SM came to see what the ruckus was, and I told her that after seeing V’s face, the idea of a Halloween wedding was growing on me. That didn’t go over well and caused a meltdown at dad’s house. He’s upset with me for upsetting V during “a very vulnerable time” and SM accused me of lacking empathy. They’re demanding I apologize. I’m refusing. T understands why I did what I did but believes I shouldn’t have kicked V while she’s down.
