AITA for not having catering at my wedding?quote:My (F28) and my fiancée (M30) just got married two months ago and we had our dream wedding. Everything was perfect, and I mean everything. My parents and his parents helped us pay for a great chunk of the wedding so we would be debt free and we are so eternally grateful for that.

I don't like the whole "Even now when I make purchases I know she won't let me keep" deal either. I guess he could be blowing money they don't have on tons of useless poo poo they don't need, but this sounds more like she's policing his spending and won't let him get small things he enjoys.

Mx. posted:did.... did they have it in a food court Disney has its own restaurants. They just literally wanted people to go to those. Like saying "Well there's an Italian place near our wedding venue, go eat there." At least, that's how I read it. They didn't mention where they had it though... I don't know where else they'd expect something like this.

Alchenar posted:There was probably a space inbetween 'I put some stuff in a locker' and 'I have a secret room full of toys for my children to play with away from mum' where there needed to be an adult conversation with mum about the relationship. On some level these OPs know that this type of conversation would have led to the end of the relationship, which they refuse to do.

Did they officiate and marry you like Elvis impersonators or just stand around? You are the most ridiculous assholes who ever posted on Reddit.

haveblue posted:Is it that weird to maintain a storage unit long-term? It doesn’t seem that different from renting an apartment with a closet The industry is massive and getting bigger. Boomers move out of the sprawling mansions they bought in 1960 for $35, and are moving into small apartments or nursing homes or whatever. Rather than throw out the massive amount of hoarded crap they put it into a storage unit. Once it's in there, and they're in a smaller place, what are they going to do? Throw their crap away? If that was a realistic thought they woulda made it in the first place. Additionally, the younger generation doesn't want or need grandma's sideboard, ottoman, chaise lounge, and seven hundred Mickey mouse clocks. Where would we put it? So the crap just stays in there until grandma dies. I'm phone posting and can't copy an entire article, but if you Google "story of the rise of self storage" then there are plenty of stories, including the NYT.

I guess he could be blowing money they don't have on tons of useless poo poo they don't need, but this sounds more like she's policing his spending and won't let him get small things he enjoys. I mean I get her not wanting him to hang up posters from when he was in undergrad in their house, as an adult, where they have children. Like I really liked that godzilla poster and johnny cash giving the finger at san quentin but I'm also in my late 30s and have kids and we don't really decorate like that anymore. My wife's into knicknack shelves and we have a bunch of little poo poo on those, but it sounds like this guy's wife isn't into all that and wants a very strictly controlled decor. So on the one side you have this goober who really just wants his dumb college and younger poo poo up on the walls, and on the other you have his wife who wants a very sterile thing and isn't willing to compromise and let him have (as much as I hate this idea) a "man cave." Okay, I get how that's difficult for him. On the other hand public storage ain't cheap. I just looked it up, a 5x10 close to me is well over $100 a month, and that's a lot to be hiding from your spouse. And as bad as "I make purchases I know she won't let me keep" sounds, it also means this shithead keeps wasting money on dumb poo poo, be they funko pops or warhammer figurines or model airplanes or anime bodypillows. I don't know what their finances look like, but $2,500+ a year into a 529 would probably be a huge help for their kids. Then there's the whole bit with the kids. The mom wants to purge, the dad wants to let them hold on to everything that they played with, even the ones "they didn't really care for." So his solution isn't to try to find a compromise, again it's to go behind his spouse's back. He didn't explicitly tell his children to lie about it, so that's good, but he's also upset they didn't instinctively lie about it, and that's worse.

Of those, he gave away ones that were still in good condition (from lack of being played with) and kept all the well-worn ones.

Evil Willow posted:AITA for not having catering at my wedding? The part that sticks out is the edit about how they said food would be available but didn't provide a menu so obviously everyone should assume they would need to pay. OP knew exactly what she was doing and went out of her way to not say it directly hoping that social pressure would be on her side, and it almost worked until one aunt finely broke the silence. Disney obsessed adults are weird, let's just put that out there. It's not better or worse then any other fandom obsessed person but something about the idea that it's borderline magic makes them think it's 100% acceptable and to the level of a serious religious or cultural tradition. You know the rest of the family is going to make jokes for the rest of their lives about having "Micky and Minnie" in the wedding photos. pentyne fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Jun 5, 2022 |

After the upfront membership registration of $33,000 and $15,000 a year after that (first year not included), meals are just regular pricing of $100 a person on average.

Why are we just making poo poo up about the guy with the storage unit lmao. Though honestly, from his point of view and the way he frames it, that relationship needs to either find balance or get two in the back of the head. Something is going to break one way or the other.

I don't really see it as all that odd. exactly. i've been maintaining a storage unit jointly with my crime partner to store sentimental (like mementos from various crimes) and items from other crimes that we really don't have room for at either of our places. it's a great solution, especially for large items. and the prices are really not that bad. of course we have really great and open communication and would never hide items from each other. sounds like these two have some problems in their relationship. i suggest counseling.

Troublemaker posted:Can someone please make this make sense? This isn't a rental property where the renter is going away and not paying rent for two weeks (because that isn't how rentals work anyway); this is the sister's actual home. No one is currently paying her rent for it, so why would her going on vacation cause her to lose out on any money that she needs to recoup? Sister is a landlord, and all landlords everywhere have this entitled piece of poo poo mindset. That's why all of the responses were the same when she posted about it in a landlord group. Landlords all have this exact form of victim-projection brain rot

I worked for a storage unit company as a high school job, probably 80% of the units were just stuff that didn't fit in people's garages, extra furniture, classic cars stuff like that. Then there was the other 20% The guys who used it for their drug stuff (we turned a blind eye to them for a few months but the fuckers kept leaving needles in the garden) The lady who had a unit full of old birthday cards she'd turn up to read and cry over, then once she was done she'd come over and hit on me which was awkward as hell. One unit that the guy stopped paying for, which when we went to empty it out was full of nothing but old national geographic magazines The porn emporium, which contained a double bed, tv and a truly inspiring, to a teenage carrionman at least, amount of sex toys and bondage gear. We never did figure out if someone was filming porn in there or if it was some dudes affair nest. This dude storing old kids toys and personal stuff that doesn't fit with the new relationship is pretty normal.

AITA for not sharing my WiFi pw with my mom and younger brotherquote:I M19 had lost access to WiFi along with the rest of my family consisting of Mom F43 and younger siblings M18 and F10. During the pandemic my father the breadwinner who doesn't live with us decided to stop paying for WiFi. He claimed it was due to slow business from pandemic restrictions. I tried protesting but my father argued that I had a job, this only paid the minimum wage btw. Give us your wifi! I'd love to hear the timeline of this, when i think of, "During the pandemic" I think of early 2020 and that his mother has been ignoring him for the past 2 years since he was a minor.

AITA FOR BUYING MY GRANDPARENTS HOME BEHIND MY PARENTS BACK AFTER THEY WOULDN’T SELL IT TO ME?quote:I’m a 35F. I’m the middle child of eight. I was raised on a farm which is also the family’s business. If anyone has ever lived on a farm, then you know it’s practically a 24-hour job. I absolutely wanted no parts of it which why I’m practically the ‘black sheep’ of the family. I was a rebellious teenager and it caused a lot of strain on the relationship with my parents. Hilarious to see a control freak narcissist parent lose their poo poo when the levers and buttons they so carefully installed don't work anymore. In the comments it comes out that the parents' farm actually belonged to OP's great-grandparents, and that the parents originally moved there to help take care of them. When they passed the family stayed on the farm, but it's actually owned by... the grandparents. That'll be a fun will reading someday.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Having a disability/autism is not an excuse to not pick up after your drat self. Sometimes it is. Aversions are a real thing that are hard to a neuro-typical person to understand. Imagine being told that you had to pick up poo poo with your fingers. My autistic son won't pick up "wet" dirty dishes or garbage with his bare hands either, but he functions fine when he wears rubber gloves. Now, the AH here is the mother, who put her son into this situation and expected the world to accommodate him to a unreasonable degree. A reasonable accommodation would be something like hiring a cleaner to come a few times a week to clean up after her son.

Another reasonable option would be to work out some sort of chore swap with the roommates, where they do his share of the chores he just can't do and he does more than his share of the chores he can. But it doesn't really matter since there's this line buried in the middle of the post: Mx. posted:My roommates and I told Adam he has to chip in with bills and cleaning and Adam refused. Pretty sure he doesn't have a sensory aversion to paying his share of bills.
