Came here to post that one. It gets better in the comments, though; OP explains that they are going to host all future family holidays so they can control the guest list. Redditors assure her that this will suit the rest of the family just fine, as they will continue to go to the party at the parents.

My mother told me you wear white to signal your virginity in marriage, and obvs it just stuck around as society got more modern. I mentioned it to male coworkers and they didn't know the white color was symbolic. It seems a little weird to dress a kid in white because aren't they messy? I know it's taboo to wear white and not be the bride but then getting upset at children seems like much. Clearly brides need to keep pigs blood on hand just in case anyone wears white

pentyne posted:The question is how much time the friend spends complaining about her appearance wanting reassurances. If someone tells you to your face that you have it easy because you're naturally attractive, you are allowed to bring up your grooming/exercise regimen, and if they are immediately dismissive of that, you can tell them to gently caress off. It might be the only scenario where OP would not be the rear end in a top hat for saying that. I also choose to believe that OP is not a native English speaker and referring to someone's distribution of meats is perfectly natural in their local language. Plus that thing someone else said that all these observations probably stem directly from the friend obsessing over her appearance.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for snapping at my husbands aunt when she asked when I’ll have kids? God drat do I hate when they use this excuse for old people. They are not children! They have presumably been on the earth long enough to experience many things, horrible and not! They absolutely should know better by now! I find this especially frustrating when it comes to swear words. I'll say "poo poo" in front of an old person and then have people yell at me for being disrespectful. I argue they have been on this earth for 60 years, they have heard the word "poo poo" before and even used it themselves. Somehow old people are the most resilient people that have ever lived because they have gone through so much more hardship but they are also delicate and will fall apart at the slightest discomfort.

I know it's taboo to wear white and not be the bride but then getting upset at children seems like much. I think the wedding industrial complex is dumb, but "I don't want anyone else wearing a white dress at my wedding" is a very simple and reasonable request and it's hard to imagine why anyone would object unless they're itching for a fight/are a 3 year old.

Cowslips Warren posted:Last year I was at work, driving to my next delivery stop, and a tire blew out when I was doing about 60 on the highway. I managed to get off the highway safely, and when I called my dispatch to let them know what happened, my dispatch agent said that he couldn't take any of my stops off me, we were too busy, and then just dead air. When I got rear-ended at a traffic light all the accident and insurance folks I dealt with were absolutely lovely, the whole way through. I'm sure there are jerks, you definitely hear stories about them, but I think the good ones are trained or otherwise realize that whoever they're talking to is already having a very bad day.

I know it's taboo to wear white and not be the bride but then getting upset at children seems like much. The white wedding is a Victorian practice, as in, it was literally popularized by the marriage of Queen Victoria of England. White lace is expensive and difficult to maintain. It was a flex of wealth. Virginity was something projected on the practice later.

AITA for not giving back the dresser I refinished? quote:So many years ago, when I was going through job burnout, I took up the hobby of refinishing wood furniture. Over the years, I've amassed a fair amount of skill and specialty tools to achieve some outstanding results. About six months ago, a friend of mine was throwing away an old dresser that he and his wife felt (more the wife's decision than his) was cluttering up their basement (which they had renovated during the quarantine). I took the dresser off the curb and over the past several months, have taken it apart, cleaned off the many layers of paint and restored it back to original condition. The mahogany/oak wood responded beautifully to my work and the dresser looks amazing. I created custom nickel-plated hardware for the drawer pulls and updated the drawer mechanisms. Deep down I am convinced the friends are the parents of that person who turned down some free furniture and then asked to be Venmo'd the $700 that their roommate sold it for

DemoneeHo posted:MIL just called my kid the K slur (Jewish). Boyfriend insists she said 'tyke'. I know what I heard. Correct me if I'm wrong but its my understanding that Jewish law explicitly states being Jewish by blood is passed down through the mother. So even if the son renounces it later in life he is still considered Jewish by blood. I seem to remember this was a big deal in Israel when it comes to who is actually "Jewish".

Traditionally Judaism is passed down through the mother. Most other Jews I know believe that if you were Jewish enough for the Nazis to go after you, you count.

I don't think OP is going to let the gentile father, or his more clearly antisemitic mother, dictate whether or not her son is Jewish, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh, hey:quote:How delusional is this guy? Please inform him that his son is indeed Jewish, seeing as how his mother is Jewish. OP posted:I did tell him that. He doesn't believe it because we agreed to raise our son with both my Jewish and his Catholic faith and let our son decide later. I told him that doesn't stop our son being ethnically Jewish, or Jewish by descent, but ex insisted that it did. Poor kid. ![]()

I just thought it was funny the father who is pretending he is not antisemitic says his son isn't Jewish when the son is in a situation where he is Jewish by being born and existing. Just the hoops he is jumping through to lie to his mother and himself that his son isn't one of """those people""". Next time she meets his mom she should dress the baby up like a rabbi, complete with those hats that have the curls on them already. Edit: ^^^ Lol. Dude is straight up delusional and might as well be standing there with his fingers in his ears going "lalalalala I don't hear you so its not real." limp_cheese fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Mar 22, 2022 |

In most states (any state that has GPR except New York, I think) GPR only really kick in if the grandparents child is dead. As long as their kid is alive and saying they don’t want the grandparents around their kid that’s the end. So you’re right that’s usually how it’s threatened but it’s almost always toothless.

So even if the son renounces it later in life he is still considered Jewish by blood. It's also a big deal ethnically regardless of who is considered Jewish by Torah law, because there's quite a few medical issues that affect ethnically jewish people more often or differently than those of other ethnicities. Due to them marrying within the faith almost exclusively for literally over 2000 years.

I think GPR is primarily used in instances where the grandparents played a significant part in raising the kid (usually because the actual parents were otherwise unfit to parent, or just neglectful) and the parents want to move the grandkids away, thus removing a stabilizing influence in the kid's life. Like most social services laws concerning children, it's in theory meant to protect the kids first, not feed some racist old woman's ego. AITA for not letting my sister and nephew into my car? quote:My sister(34F) and nephew(7M) came from Utah to Cali to visit me and my bf. They said they wanted to see some national parks so we drove to Death Valley and was going to do some hiking. We hiked for a few hours and my nephew was exploring around. I wasn’t watching him until he came over and showed my sister a few rocks. I went to see what he found and he found some fossils with preserved clams looking things inside. I told him it has illegal to remove fossils from the park and told him to put it back where he found them. He started to get upset saying he found them so he should be able to keep them. She kept saying he was into fossils and wanted to keep them as souvenirs. My sister defended him saying it wasn’t a big deal and no one would find out and I thought it was insane she wouldn’t correct him but my sister always babied my nephew because he the only child that survived from 4 pregnancies. I told her he has to put it back or we aren’t leaving and she got angry and started arguing that it wasn’t a big deal. We got back to the car and I got in and locked the doors telling my nephew we are staying here until he puts things back. He started crying and my sister hugged him and tried to console him. My sister then kicked my car repeatedly and yelled and screamed at me though the car. After 30 min he gave up and put the fossils back on the ground. I let them in and my sister spent the rest of the car ride saying I don’t have kids so I don’t understand and how a few missing rocks wouldn’t make any difference so I was overreacting.

I know that public parks are governed by rules and I'm supposed to follow them when I'm in the park, obviously. But what if it's an emergency situation, like if I don't want to?
