Age gap is whatever but other than that it doesn't seem so bad on the surface. There's no power imbalance and they're adults so I don't get anything particularly horrifying unless I come back later and find out I skipped the part where it's her kid's long-distance online ex or something.

A couple of momma's boys today

BF [29m] mom packs his lunch, I'm [28f] losing attraction

This one i really hope is fake, because the truth would be horrifying.

Okay, but if you gender swap this you'll have tons of people calling out the age gap and power imbalance. She was widowed at an age where a family supporting man would likely have life insurance and has a long established career. He is an exchange student...

edit - only injury i sustained I (24f) was walking my mother who is partially paralyzed from a stroke outside for some fresh air.

We were walking around the lake when I saw a dog run out of a clearing with no collar no owner and then I started to realize it was running straight at us.

Im out in the sticks so I assume any unleashed dog is either a working dog protecting property or an abandoned dog that could be feral.

We werent on anyones private property so I thought the latter.

We didnt have anywhere to go and my mom cant run so I have to let go of my moms gait belt to be able to shield her from this bear/wolf komodo dragon dog.

I'm able to grab onto the dog as it jumps up at us and I just slam myself with the dog into the ground HARD and wrestle myself up onto him so I can hold the dog's head down but it wasn't really working out that way he was huge and Im like 115 lbs.

I just held onto its neck and kept climbing on top when I could.

Finally someone runs over yelling

"He's nice, he's nice!"

My question is how am I supposed to know that? He wasn't acting nice.

It wasn't a lab or a cute little labradoodle it looked like a fookin wolf.

Ive had varying opinions from friends that said I should of just waited to see what else would happen.

Am I the rear end in a top hat?

Yeah but "client" in this case is like whatever. There's no power imbalance or professional ethics issues like say if it was a lawyer or psychologist having an affair with their client. He deliberately chose that word to make it sound skeevier than it actually is.

yeah it so patently Oedipal that I can't figure if he hates black people more than he wants to gently caress his mom

hey hey now, maybe it's a combo: he wants to see a black dude gently caress his mom.

Yeah I am leaning on the race thing a lot more than the age thing.

AITA for body slamming an unleashed dog?

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I attended a party at the home of one of my co-workers. There were about 15 guests.

The problem was the homeowner’s pets — two dogs that live inside. They were allowed to roam freely during the party.

They barked each time a guest knocked or rang the doorbell, and they jumped on each person who entered. They hovered at people’s feet waiting for food to drop or to be given to them.

It felt like we were expected to pet the animals and interact with them whether we wanted to or not. The homeowner made no attempt to control the dogs or keep them away from any of the guests.

I don’t dislike animals, but I don’t want other people’s pets jumping on my clothes, trying to lick me or getting close to my food.

Two large wire kennels were visible along a front hallway, which I assume are used during the day while the homeowner is away at work.
What would have been the polite way to ask my co-worker to put the dogs in their kennels or out in the garage while the guests were eating?

I know maybe Reddit is the wrong place for this, but here goes.

My stepdaughter is 23. She lives in a different city than us for work. My husband and I have 3 other daughters - 12, 10 and 8. They absolutely worship and adore their older sister, look up to her, want to copy her, the whole 9 yards.

We are Christians and are raising our girls with the concept of sex being for marriage. I know that’s not the most common in this day and age, but it’s something we feel strongly about.

Anyway, my stepdaughter has had a boyfriend for 2 years. They live together, which we don’t agree with, but she’s financially independent. For the last two years, every time she comes to visit, they stay in a hotel 25 minutes away (it’s the closest one) because we don’t allow them to share a room here.

There would be enough beds - he could take the spare room, and she could bunk in a queen bed with any of her sisters. Two years ago it wasn’t a big deal, but now my girls have put together why she won’t stay here, the youngest even said she’ll do the same when she’s her age which I was pretty upset by.

Two weeks ago she was supposed to come to celebrate the two September birthdays of her sisters. I asked if she could stay at our house because her sisters have been noticing she won’t. She said no immediately. I’ll admit I could have phrased it better, but I said they were at an age where her setting a good example is more important than ever and she wasn’t doing they. She got offended, we started to argue and then she told me to eff off, she’s not coming.

She didn’t come, which her sisters were upset by since she had said she would. She sent them a gift and gave them a call. When they asked why she didn’t come, she specifically said it was because I was rude to her, so my girls were then mad at me. I sent her a text telling her I didn’t appreciate it, she texted back “I don’t care” and we haven’t spoken since.

Was ITA for making that request? I’m kind of blown away it’s turned into such a big thing, but sad that she’s already said she’s not coming for our other daughter’s November birthday and I don’t know how to make it right.

I like the casual acknowledgment that they would use money to control her if they could.

My sister's dog loses his loving mind and can drag my niece across the house if he hears the doorbell. I had to pin him down once just so my parents could open the door and walk into the building.

Somebody pointed out in the comments that Jesus explicitly disapproved of divorce.

how the hell does every dog know what a doorbell means anyway, is it something about the stereotypical doorbell noise? Like even when a doorbell's on TV my dog will go nuts and he's not usually a go-nuts type.

I guess but if the genders had been flipped there would have been outrage for sure. I'm almost embarrassed to point it out because it's so often bandied about by sexist shitlords, but all other things being equal, a relationship between someone in their early forties and in their mid-twenties is at least worthy of a few raised eyebrows.

It was never clear to me what scar could have done even if he had no murderous intent in that situation. Bite Mufasa's paw and pull? That seems unlikely to be able to get enough leverage and painful besides.

Yeah it's a real mystery. Maybe we could perform some sort of scientific study to see if dogs can learn to associate specific events they look forward to, like new people appearing at the house, with the sound of a bell.

I think he probably could have helped keep Mufasa hanging there until after the stampede passed, then let him drop.
