AITA for not reacting to my MIL antics anymore?quote:I'm 25(f) and my wedding was last week I'm currently on a road trip with my husband for our honeymoon and this has been bugging me since the big scene at my wedding The power to drive another person mad by doing absolutely nothing is a strong one. Use it often. Anyways, i can't imagine a family more spineless than these in-laws.

pentyne posted:so, she's ignoring the MIL's behavior? and the family is demanding that she....have massive temper tantrums instead? That's how I read it. MIL is unloading on her but since she doesn't give her a reaction she turns around and unloads on the rest of the family who does react. they're basically asking her to go "oh no, how could you. i hate you, you bastard, etc etc etc" to get her to stfu.

AITA for treating my grandpa like a stranger at a family event?quote:So I (and my three siblings and 9 cousins) have a grandpa that is not really around, for most of us. Around 10 years ago he decided he only wanted to spend time with two specific grandkids (The children of his favorite daughter). He doesn’t speak to the rest of us unless we are at an event and even then he barely says anything. Last time we saw him was at a wrestling tournament. He went to watch my cousin, and left as soon as my brothers name was called for his match. So it feels pretty deliberate that he does not talk to us. (For reference Im the oldest grandchild at 20, the rest are all between 5-17) Another problem handily resolved

bell jar posted:What the hell kind of metaphor is this It's actually a very clever play on current events. as you may be aware, a transformer fire was recently reported at the Hoover dam. what was not as widely reported was the fact that I had temporarily re-purposed that transformer for an experiment. you see, I recently came into possession of a large quantity of marijuana. So much marijuana, in fact, that my current smoking apparatus was hardly up to the task. taking inspiration from the idea of the gravity bong, I traveled to Nevada with my stash, intent on setting up a larger version using the gravity from the water held back by the dam to produce a much larger cloud of smoke than the traditional version, which makes use of a 2 liter bottle or bucket as I understand it. having the gravity part of the equation worked out, I was stumped. how was I supposed to ignite this large bale of weed I brought with me in order to make use of the gravity from the dam? you may have guessed at this point where the story is headed. The transformer would produce a significant enough amount of electricity to ignite the weed, but I wanted to get a really good fire going before letting rip. I decided upon gathering up various dried brush from the surrounding area, packing the transformer with it, and then laying the layer of weed on top. It worked! now that I had the fire going well and the bowl (A repurposed oil drum I drilled a few holes into) was cherried, i took my hit. it was glorious. In fact, when I awoke I was surrounded in a haze of smoke. the weed had been totally vaporized, leaving nothing but a smoldering stack of sticks on top of the transformer. I of course fled the scene, keeping close tabs on the news, still paranoid that my plan would land me in serious hot water with the government. astoundingly, my hijinks remain undiscovered to this day. imagine my relief when I read the headline: "The straw that broke the Dam!"

AITA for telling my son that being a nerd doesn’t mean that he’s superior to anyone, especially his little sister?quote:I have two kids, Jake and Jamie. Jake is 16m and big into “the media I like is my entire personality and I’m better than you because I like those things” and has grown up to be very judgmental, cold, and mean. We honestly do not know how this happened, but his nasty attitude comes out the most at his little sister.

Jake might be an AH, but the fact that op said “don’t know where that came from” and the fact that Jake trying to get some recognition from his parents show that they definitely give less attention to him. Plus. Op said we would’ve celebrated his success all the same blah blah, but we’ll, he was telling them about his achievement in video games. The only reason they dismissed him is that op doesn’t think videogame achievement is as good as scrunchie business.
