AITA for saying I'm not attending christmas party with my girlfriend's family unless my plane ticket is paid for?quote:I live in the city. My girlfriend's family who live in a small town invited us to join them for christmas this year. And per usual, her parents would pay for her flying expenses (ticket) so she could attend (she an't afford it since she's a broke college student). We've been together for 5 months and I pretty much want to come BUT,, they're only going to pay for my girlfriend's ticket but not mine. I talked to my girlfriend and pointed out how they paid for her bil. she said it's 'different' since he's their son inlaw and that her parents aren't "obligated" to pay for me since they barely know me. I said it didn't matter how long they've known me, as a guest, I should recieve the same treatment as everybody else. I told her I won't come unless my ticket is paid for. period. She got mad and said it was weird for me to expect them to pay and that it was up to me to figure it out. I said cool then I'm not coming.

Mx. posted:AITA for asking my daughter to uphold her end of the deal? Cool, they're one of these types: Commenter posted:Side question, if you expect her to pay for half of the pool, will she get a cut of the real estate if you ever sell the house? Having a pool increases the price of a house in real estate, so if she owns half the pool, she’s entitled to part of that profit. In other words, you’ve already seen a return. OP posted:I’m paying for her food, clothes, the house she lives in, the car, and everything else. I don’t think she needs a cut of the real estate too. Moreover, like I said, this is about morals, not money logistics.

No one said he has to attend, he was invited as a courtesy. He could have graciously declined if he didn't want to go or didn't have the money to travel. But no, he had to start making demands and playing the victim card.

Her family probably doesn't give two shits if he comes or not, they invited him as a courtesy to her. The fact that he's throwing a fit and demanding they pay for his ticket is what makes him an rear end in a top hat. Also in the reddit thread he's on his alt defending himself LMAO.

AITA for telling my nephew he can't "be a bean" when he grows up?quote:My nephew is 4 (I believe) and I was visiting my bro and his wife yesterday. I asked the kid what does he want to be when he grows up, because that's something you ask kids I guess. I am not good with kids really. I am not disliking them or some kind of cultist like the wingbags in r/childfree, I just don't really know how to interact with them. So I figure, I'll ask this kid what he wants to be when he grows up and pretend to think that is interesting and see what happens. i believe in this kid. follow ur dreams.......

MagusofStars posted:Honestly? Working that math, they've been together basically since they were ~19. So there's a reasonable chance they actually don't know that "not marrying someone like this" is an option - because they've never dated anyone else seriously and/or because they're so firmly in the grasp of sunk cost fallacy that the idea of breaking up just never crossed OP's mind. I didn't even go back to reread the ages. Ooof.

One of them has been quoted as saying, "I want to fart in space and wake up the sun." Another walked up to the walrus pool at the zoo and yelled, "FIGHT ME!" The third niece hasn't gone on record with weird comments, but it's really only a matter of time.

It would have been so easy to just say "I can't afford the flight, sorry" and GF might have tried to see if she could get her parents to pay for him too, but I guess that's not as dramatic as trying to claim that you, a literal stranger to these people, deserve to be treated exactly like a family member

My first thought was the poor kid heard a terrible dad joke/pun about being a "human bean", and took it literally. Only to get ripped apart for... being 4, fer chrissakes. Spoilering for crappy childhood story: I had a similar situation when I was 5, my evil stepdad told me I had a chip on my shoulder. Never heard that expression before, so I confusedly looked at my shoulder thinking "a potato chip? What's he talking about?" and then got physically punished for "talking back" and being "fresh". Wanna hug that bean and discuss legumes at length with him.

My nephew is 4, he's a different animal every day of the week. He won't respond unless you refer to his animal name. Everyone in his life plays along because making kids happy is cool and ruini g a kids harmless fun should get you mauled by a bear.
