Rescue Toaster posted:If you really don't want to or can't pay for proper food make sure everybody knows that and give plenty of time between the ceremony and the party so they can stop and grab something. Or, ya know, don't host a party that's long enough where people need to eat if you can't afford to properly feed them.

I guess you could go the Disney-couple route of having the wedding somewhere with restaurants nearby, and telling all the guests that food will be "available".

Have all the guest tables placed in an empty pool, bride and groom dress as caesars and occasionally give a thumbs down so the MOH can throw an angry cat in there.

WIBTA for taking my girlfriend’s sister with me to comic con when my girlfriend is fighting with her?quote:Currently my GF and her sister, Meg are not on speaking terms. I’ll spare you the details but my GF basically feels like Meg was always the golden child and that their parents always favored her and that Meg always held this over her and made her feel lesser. She has a whole complex around that (and she’s in therapy for it) and it often causes arguments between them, which is what’s happening now. In comments OP says his gf was fine with the trip until now. Nope, she isn't going. AITA for threatening to not let my daughters Grandmother back into my home if she picks my daughter up? quote:I am a single mother to an 11 year old girl who has achondroplasia, for those of you who don't know what that means she is a little person. Her bio-father couldn't cope with this and left me when she was only a few weeks old and hasn't seen her since. If he can't cope with this it's for the best so don't hate on him and he has never been late with or missed a child support payment so there is that at least.

Uncle Enzo posted:Hell there doesn't even need to be an actual loss. My 6 year old has taken a cue from movies and crafted himself a tragic backstory. His mom and I are alive. Just hope your son doesn’t also turn you gay in this tragic backstory, because then he will turn you into these forums. “What happened to your dad?” “He died to octopus pirates, because he couldn’t stop laughing at giant pig’s balls.”

It's hard to say given the lack of details, but even if the girlfriend is being completely unreasonable here it doesn't matter. His choices are supporting her or ending the relationship.

AITA for exposing my dad to the family after he tried to portray my brother as a bad father and son?quote:My siblings (24M, 22F) and I (26M) were raised by a single dad (45M), our dad was great, he was loving, and caring and always put us first, because of this we never missed our deadbeat mom.

Hughlander posted:My brother found our dad and his then-girlfriend (27 now) “doing it”, thus my brother got mad at my dad and cut him off, moved out of the house, and went to live with some friends. At first I misread this line as being the dad's girlfriend and thought it was a really extreme version of the "my single parent isn't allowed to have any other romantic relationships" deal.

AITA for judging my son and his wife for deciding to have a home birth with the dogs in the house?quote:I'm 45f, I have a young son 22m and he's been with his wife 22f since they were 15. They got engaged and married in late 2021 and now they're expecting their first child. In comments: quote:I offered to clean the house with my daughter in laws mom. I also suggested to my son that until the baby reaches a certain age then her parents or another loved one should keep the dogs for safety and health reasons. I'm trying to help them out and offer safe and healthy solutions but they just see me as someone hostile. When I'm just trying to look out for them. I wouldn't ever have done a homebirth myself because (A) emergencies and (B) I wanted somebody else to wash the sheets. But people get to make up their own minds.

The idea that someone could gently caress his sons girlfriend and literally get her pregnant and have kids with her and then lie about it to the rest of the family in the presence of someone who knows the truth and expect to get away with it is just amazing to me. That dude hosed up just about as badly as you possibly could and he expects to be allowed to talk poo poo unchallenged? Just amazing lol

With all the risks involved with childbirth, I’ll never understand the willingness of first time moms to roll the dice so casually. Dogs and dog hair are nothing compared to a medical emergency.

AITA for telling a friend that her adoptive child's name change would be STUPID?quote:So, I'm not sure how to even start this. I'm decent friends with former co-workers. We have hung out over time etc. I get invited to events and stuff, and a group of friends from the company and I video chat when we all have time. I was excited when I got added to this group because I'm very awkward and not sure how to make adult friends due to being extremely sheltered well into adulthood. I occasionally babysit for everyone if they need me, pretty much free right now since I quit my job.

Six years old is like the perfect age if you really want to instill some deep seated childhood traumas too, and his poor child brain has already had years to form his identity as "John". loving hell, this one is grim.

And also seem apt to lean very woo woo. While this is somewhat true, there are legit, evidence-based reasons to avoid hospitals if you're expecting a pretty straightforward birth. Of course, having a midwife and a plan for if things go pear-shaped is pretty important. (My favourite freebirthing woo was the podcaster convinced that ultrasound was harmful to babies. For reasons.)
