AITA for letting my son get fast food and bring it into a wedding reception?

quote:

My son (22m) is a picky eater. My cousin was getting married and had a lovely reception with a nice buffet. �Johnny� wasn�t a fan of what was served so I let him leave and get some food. Word spread amongst our family where he was going and a few people asked him to bring things back so he did.

We are at a table near the dance floor and you could probably smell it there but nobody in our immediate family had a chance problem (even the bride and groom).

Apparently the venue and the family of the bride were appalled and I don�t understand why. It was a great party but he wanted something different and other people did too.

So AITA?

Edit: he�s 22 years old and in college. He has no medical issues; he just has a limited palate.

When I said �let� I meant, let him take my car since we all rode together.

I can't tell if the entire family is picky eaters or if the food was so lovely that the other people didn't eat their meals.

If multiple people at a wedding heard someone was going to get fast food, and decided to put in an order, then the wedding food must have been truly dire to get to that point for so many people willing to risk making a 'scene'

I dunno, maybe not as much as you might be thinking. Maybe he's lying about how much he actually needs to be at work, but it sounds to me more like both parents are totally overwhelmed and are floundering. A sufficiently high-needs child might well be too much for even two parents to handle, let alone two parents who have to juggle two other childrens' needs as well; he already said they're trying to get their son into a group home. I feel like we need more detail on this one.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying grounding his daughter was right at all. I'm just not sure "oh he's just trying to parentify his children so he can gently caress off like a lot of other AITA stories we've seen" is the correct conclusion to jump to.

No, he's trying to parentify his children so he can have breathing room because his dumb rear end had another kid after having a kid they can't even handle. Not all parents who parentify their kids do it so they can gently caress off. Some of them do it so they can have a heinous number of kids and not snap! The number for heinous is just lower when one of them is that high needs.

AITA for not cancelling our annual trip despite my wife�s demands?

quote:

A few years ago, I got sent on a business trip to my dream destination. I took the vacation time I had built up and spent an extra week there after my work obligations finished. I loved every single minute of my trip, including the business aspects. The work environment there was great and I got along well with my colleagues. I've kept in touch with quite a few of them, but one in particular, who we'll call Theo, has become one of my closest friends. He introduced me to his local friends and I was adopted into the group pretty immediately, getting taken out at night for drinks and shown the less touristy parts of the city. My wife joined me on my trip. She said she had a nice time but didn't seem to share my same enthusiasm. Towards the end of our time there, she just began staying back at the hotel while I went out and claiming she was tired.

This trip has since turned into a yearly tradition. Sometimes I'm able to pull the post business trip vacation time trick and stay two weeks, others I'm not sent by my company and only get spend a week there. Either way, it's always the highlight of my year. However, my wife seems less and less interested each time. I've asked her why, but she always brushed me off by saying she's excited and that I'm reading into things too much.

Our trip this year was supposed to span from the end of December into January, and I was beyond excited to experience the NYE traditions. Despite only getting the opportunity to visit once a year, I feel like I have real roots placed there. I have close friends. Owners of restaurants I frequent when I'm there recognize me. The boss for the company branch there has told me a job is open for me whenever I finally make the decision to move since "he knows its inevitable." Theo has even sent my apartment photos/listings of places we could get together when his lease is up. It just feels like my future is there.

While talking to my wife a few nights ago, our trip came up because our flight is quickly approaching. I expressed some of the things I listed above and said it feels like a home away from home to me. What followed was my wife basically demanding that we cancel the trip. I didn't even go into much detail and played off what the boss said as mostly a joke, but she still said she couldn't believe I was ever thinking of moving so far away. I told her that that didn't change our visit, but she still wouldn't budge. I refused. The only time we've talked since then has been her asking if I've cancelled our bookings yet, and me saying no. I've told her I can cancel hers and not mine, but she said me going alone is even worse.

AITA?

When music and art rooms are too cliche, get a new house in a new country!

Reminds me of a friend of a friend whose family had to move to Saudi Arabia back in the late 90's; if you talk to the husband now, he raves about how awesome it all was, how friendly everyone was, how he was so respected and invited to so many homes and made so many friends, he can't wait to go back! Compare to his wife or their kids, who...didn't have the same experience. And he was shocked when she didn't want to go back there for work, or worse, permanently.

AITA for not letting my elderly father live with us again?

quote:

My father (87) has, until recently, lived with my husband (60) and I (61F). He became disabled after heart surgery, and then a fall, in which he broke his neck. He was no longer able to live alone, so my husband and I opened our home to him.

It�s been five years, and ngl, it�s been exhausting. Recently he had a health crisis that left him bedridden and incontinent. My father is a big man, and my husband has a bad back. I couldn�t see either of us being able to provide care for my father without injuring ourselves or him.

A little backstory: up until last year, our entire extended family and my father�s church community- was all within 20-30 miles of each other in the Midwest. Last year I took a job in Phoenix. We offered my father the choice of going to assisted living or coming with us. He chose to come with us.

Now that assisted living is a necessity, my father decided that he would prefer to go to a facility near his old home town. It�s a fabulous place. It�s clean, the food is good, they have physical therapy and other social activities, and the people who work there are kind and compassionate. Most importantly he is close to the rest of the family. He can see his grandkids, great-grandkids, and his church friends again.

Since he�s been there, he has made enormous progress. He�s walking short distances with a walker again, getting himself out of bed and into the wheelchair on his own. He�s also getting himself to the toilet again. We�re just thrilled at the progress he�s made at this place.

Here�s the issue. Now that he�s getting stronger, he�s talking about coming back to live with us again. The driving force behind this is money. The cost is nearly his entire monthly income.

The AL community is all-inclusive. All of his daily living needs are met: he has his own private apartment, three meals, snacks, beverages, linen & laundry service, utilities, cable tv, physical therapy, assistance with dressing, showering, and medications. There are community activities, social programs for fellowship. Basically he has everything he could possibly need. But he wants to come live with my husband and I again because it�s free, well nearly, he buys groceries.

We don�t want him to live with us again. We�ve had five years of providing pretty much all of the services he�s getting at assisted living, and we�re tired. Plus we�ve been caregivers for so long we forgot what it�s like to be a couple. We�re free to take a spontaneous weekend trip by ourselves, or to laze an entire Saturday away in our pajamas watching tv. None of this was possible when my father was with us.

In addition to us living our lives again, I genuinely believe my father is better off where he is. He�s safe, has access to instant health care, surrounded by family and friends. I don�t want him to come home. Does that make me an AH?

I deliver medical supplies to places like this, and the well-run ones are loving amazing. I wouldn't want to move out once I was in. I mean, I like to think we won't all die in the climate wars in the next few years, because imagine what retirement homes will be like in 30-40 years: the high speed Internet needed, all the hearing aides squeaking from old people screaming poo poo about noobs. There might be bingo still but it's gonna all be electronic, and I imagine instead of the small libraries on every floor, every room will have a huge monitor set up so instead of Gone with the Wind, you can watch streamers..

Of course we'll all die in the climate wars.

I knew a british guy who moved to Dubai and tried to sell it to his wife by saying they can have slaves there because slavery is practically legal there. She wouldn't have to do any housework, they could hire a maid, a cook, a nanny, and treat them like absolute garbage because that's the norm there. He was totally confused why she didn't react with pure excitement at this and why she kept expressing "discomfort" with the culture there.

AITA for farting on our cat?

Every night our cat (2M) likes to cuddle up by my (24F) legs, he usually stays there the majority of the night and I've gotten used to it. The problem arises when, during this 8 hour cycle, I need to fart. I usually just let them rip and our cat doesn't seem to mind. Or at least, he's never left the bed right after one. My partner (25M) says that this is disrespectful, and I should aim away from him. However, doing this would mean moving my legs and therefore waking him (cat) up. So, am I the rear end in a top hat for fating on our cat?

AITA for saying i wont fund my son’s college because he doesn’t like to read outside of schoolwork

quote:

Hi reddit,

I(M62) have one son (M18). He is a senior in high school, and has very good grades. While he ADHD, he has a 4.7 weighted GPA, all A’s, and excellent extra curriculars. I have given him a lot of help during high school with math tutoring, especially during Covid. He actively read up until 3 years ago when he started using his phone a lot. This year, he was fine in his AP lit class at the beginning of the year, but he has had a lot of trouble reading Pride and Prejudice, and I am concerned that college is going to be a lot more of that kind of material. He says he is just academically burnt out, but I think it is his phone and internet usage. I want to estimate 6 hours a day combined between his phone and youtube.

We have recently been discussing funding college. College is not the easiest thing for us to afford. He can get into a good school, hopefully UVA, but I want him to be fully committed and up to speed with his reading before i commit to paying. His SAT was good, at a 1490, but he carried his SAT with his grammar and math, while his reading wasn’t great - 780 math, 710 Reading/writing.

AITA for requiring him to read more before i commit to paying for college?

Hm, yes, I wonder why the kid who's taking so many AP/college credit/dual enrollment/etc classes his GPA is a 4.7 doesn't have time to read for pleasure* it's a mystery. Clearly the solution is to remove the only respite from academic drudgery the son has, this will improve his burnout. The problem clearly isn't that Austen is unreadable even for smart hardworking people like the son.

*Assuming of course he's not reading while on the phone/internet and that the boomer dad's estimate of 6 hours a day is accurate, which I somehow doubt if the son is in this many honors classes. Perhaps he is using some of these newfangled electrical devices to... do homework?

And of course the dad will be baffled when he finds himself estranged.

My workplace canteen is completely enclosed, there�s no windows and only one door, the hallway to enter the canteen also has no windows and the door leads back to our main work area

One of my co workers consistently brings in tuna and other kinds of fish for his lunch, he microwaves it, throws the cans (which still contain fish juice) in the open bin and leaves his dishes in the sink unwashed

The problem is that since we can�t open any windows (as there�s none) the entire canteen, which is a small carpeted room, stinks for the entire rest of the day if not longer, I know it bothers everyone and it�s only one person who does it so I was considering asking our manager if we could ban canned fish (like tuna) from being heated up in the canteen, but I�m not sure if this is an AH move or not?

I know the smell bothers my co workers and I personally feel physically ill from the smell of it, to the degree that I can�t even have my lunch in there when he�s in there too and so I usually sit on the ground out the back to eat, but I also don�t want to be a dickhead since idk if it bothers everyone else as much as it bothers me

(It�s also worth noting our lockers are in the canteen so after work my coat and bag keep the smell 🤢)
