quote:

My husband (30M) and I (29F) have been married for 2 years and I am currently 36-weeks pregnant with our first child. There's a lot of things going on in our lives right now. My mom is currently staying with us because she's going to be in the delivery room with me for the birth and also staying with us for a couple months after to help out. On top of everything else, my husband got news earlier this week that his grandma passed away.

He was really close with his grandma. His grandparents lived on a farm and when my husband was a teenager, he would spend summers living and working at their farm. He wants to attend the funeral next week. He says that he already has a lot of guilt that he couldn't be at his grandpa's funeral 3 years ago because of the pandemic. I 100% do not want him to go.

I could literally go into labor any day. His grandparents lived in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest and we live on the east coast. The funeral is at his grandma's church which is a 4-hour drive from the nearest airport so if I go into labor while he's gone, there's pretty much a zero chance of him making it back in time, if I can reach him at all because cell service there is spotty at best.

We fought about it the other night because I told him I don't want him to go and that if he misses the birth of our first child I don't think I could ever forgive him. He said that I have my mom here and I picked her to be in the delivery room instead of him anyway, so it's not like he could be there for emotional support. Which, yes, I picked my mom because she was a labor and delivery nurse for 30 years and I want her there because I feel she would be a better advocate if I need one.

My husband is convinced that he can make it to the funeral and back before I go into labor, but it doesn't work that way. The baby is going to come when it wants to, not when it's convenient for him. My mom was trying to explain this to him as well and told him that his priorities need to be here with me and the baby. He actually snapped at her to mind her own business. I told him he can't talk to my mom that way and he said that he's not going to tolerate being ganged up on.

He has stopped short of telling me that he's going to go whether I want him or not, but I did catch him looking at flight times on our laptop last night. I asked him what he was doing and he said he wants to see what the shortest amount of time he would be gone. I told him if he leaves and the baby comes while he's gone, that would be unforgiveable in my eyes.

I feel terrible that he lost his grandma, I really do. But this isn't the right time for him to be away from home for any extended period of time. I need him here. I know he has a lot of guilt about missing his grandpa's funeral and that's probably weighing even heavier on him right now. But I also feel like his judgement is clouded right now and he's not realizing that me and the baby need to be his #1 priority right now.

I'm 18f. I live with my parents and my sister, Joanne, 23f. Joanne has a cocaine habit and she claims its normal in her job and it's just the lifestyle of cheffing, yada yada. My parents seem to be ignoring it since Joanne pays her rent on time and keeps to herself when she's in the house and doesn't cause many problems.

I'm a college student on a government grant, and I'm in college Monday to Friday up until 5/6pm, working isn't really an option for me right now, so I don't go out much and I spend all my money on college supplies. Joanne doesn't seem to understand this and is always asking to borrow money and what not. I always say no because it works out that I only have €40 every week to spend on college stuff and travel to college.

I got a Christmas bonus on my grant and I ended up deciding to book tickets for a small ish local gig that's next week. I booked two, one for me and one for my best friend because her birthday is the same day and she loves the type of music, it was meant to be a surprise for her. I had told Joanne about this on one of her "good days" because I was genuinely excited to finally do something and live the college student lifestyle for a night.

The tickets were digital, on an account shared with my parents. Joanne had asked for the login telling them that she wanted to book tickets to something, but she was lying and used it to sell my tickets for drug money. I didn't find out until I had gotten the email to confirm that the tickets were sent to someone else and I was really confused at first. I checked and they were sent to someone I know Joanne knows.

I went straight to her when she got home and asked what the gently caress she did, and she tried lying but I showed her proof it went to someone she knows and told her I wanted my money back then and there. She told me it was gone already. I lost my mind and started yelling at her, because it wasn't fair.

My mom was just in from work and I was screaming at my sister who was crying at that point saying she was sorry and she didn't know it would upset me this much. My mom got involved and told me to keep my voice down and we'll talk about it, and I told her to shut up and stay out of it. I ended up saying something along the lines of "why is it fair that you get to do this to me when I've never even drank alcohol or smoked weed, why does the cokewhore get to be the golden child bit not me?".

My mom stepped in and put a stop to it then and there, my sister had started screaming back at me for what I called her. My mom said that was out of line and she just made a mistake. I told my mom her mistake cost me the only night out ill have been able to have all year so she should hear what I have to say about it. My mom thinks I was in the wrong for what I said, and my sister won't even look at me even though its been 3 days and I've tried apologising. AITA?

AITA For not punishing my daughter for mocking her cousin?

quote:

I have a really good relationship with my sister and thought our families got along pretty well. My daughter is a little socially awkward and always looked forward to visiting with her cousins because they're around her age. It wasn't that frequent of a thing, just calls on birthdays, holiday visits, and the occasional family trip to the beach. With the pandemic, we haven't been able to do family trips, so instead we've started trying to stay in touch via family zoom video chats instead.

A week or so ago we did a call just to check in and say hi. My daughter was happy to see her aunt and her cousins. She had mentioned that the cousin closest to her age had been acting weird, but we figured it was just pandemic related stress and let it go.

We decided to stop by to drop off their Christmas gifts the other day and stayed on the porch. (For safety reasons because of the pandemic!) My brother-in-law answered (I'm pretty sure he's never liked me, but that's probably irrelevant) and told me to just wait there while he got my sister to 'deal with us.' While he was gone, their oldest daughter came to the door with a smirk on her face and asked how we were doing. We had some idle chatter, then she mentioned something about how if we had a gift for her sister (the middle daughter 16/f from the title) we should probably just give it to her instead, or take it back. I asked why, and she whipped out her tablet and showed me a recording of a presentation where middle cousin had recorded clips from the zoom call with my daughter and spent the entire time mocking her. I won't get into specifics, but it was incredibly hurtful, and my daughter started crying and walked away to sit in the car before the video presentation was even finished.

I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. By the time my sister came to the door I was in tears myself. My sister saw her eldest with the tablet and seemed to immediately know what had happened and asked her to go back inside. My sister looked at me and told me she was sorry, but all I could do was shake my head and gather the gifts to leave. I spent the evening with my daughter trying to cheer her up, but I don't think this is the type of thing she's going to get over quickly. I get that she's not as outgoing as her cousins, and that they just had a familial relationship instead of being outright 'friends' but she did at least think her cousins loved her as family. She and I are both crushed to find out we were wrong on that assumption.

I'm at a loss here. First of all, I'm not sure what I can say or do to ever repair the relationship between my daughter and her cousins. I'm not even sure I want to try.

Secondly, I'm not sure how I can ever be in the same room with my sister's children knowing this has happened. This feels like an enormous rift in our relationship that I'm not sure how to bridge. My sister has left a couple of tearful voicemails and I do truly believe she feels remorse, but I haven't heard a thing from any of the others in the family.

If you all were in my situation, what would you do to repair the relationship?

TL;DR Daughter was shown a presentation where she was recorded and mocked by her cousin. Not sure how to resolve this situation in a way that helps my daughter feel better and repair the relationship with my sister's family.

The people going "oh well if the powerpoint/video was really funny and the cousin never found out it's ok" is also some hot bullshit.

I was recently at a wedding where I was one of the groomsmen. I met the brides mom for the first time and had quite a few interactions with her before and after the ceremony.

Without being too specific, she made some racist remarks. I discretely told her that what she said was racist. Well, she didn't take that well and kinda blew up at me for accusing her of being racist. I intentionally used verbiage to indicate that her remarks were racist, not necessarily her as a person. I also purposely didn't bring it to other peoples' attention. My goal was to give her the benefit of the doubt while also informing her of how her words might be misinterpreted.

She demanded an apology so I said "sorry for pointing out your racist comments". Probably not the best thing to say, but I also wasn't going to admit to calling her racist because I very intentionally did not. She walked off, clearly unsatisfied with how things went down.

I did not interact with her much for the rest of the wedding, but I heard from my friend, the groom, that she was in a bad mood for the rest of the night. When we talked, he acknowledged that what she said was racist and that she has said that kind of stuff on occasion. He was upset with me for not keeping my mouth shut and casting a shadow on what was otherwise an amazing day. The bride is pretty unhappy with me. I apologized to my friend for causing friction because he's my friend and we are at least on the same page about the racism. He's not asking me to apologize to his wife/MIL but I'm wondering if I should.

So, AITA?

Tl;Dr - called out racist remarks from brides mom at a wedding and caused some stupid drama

Edit since everyone is so insistent on knowing what she said:

Claimed that much of the wedding staff were "probably illegals" and referred to them as Mexican (when they could be any variety of latino/Hispanic)

Told me I'm "handsome for an Asian"

This one might be a reach, but she also said "you must be good at math" when we talked about my job as an engineer

Yeah if she had shown the cousin the PowerPoint, I'd have a problem. She didn't, though. Mom is the one having a meltdown that her daughter and cousin aren't BFFs and that slamming them together like dolls isn't making BFF-hood happen.

Ok, this is serious.

It has happened on two separate occasions now. I get in the shower, I look up, and there’s a piece of poop on our shower head. It’s detachable, so I assume my husband is using it as a bidet of sorts. But…he’s leaving pieces of poop behind, and I cannot for the life of me figure out a nice way to tell him to clean his own poop off the shower head. It’s freaking gross.

WIBTA if I just bluntly told him that he needs to clean the shower head after every shower from now on? How do I tell him this without hurting his feelings?

I (F20) am only 6 weeks pregnant with my first child. I’m still planning and figuring out all of the things that go along with pregnancy and preparing for a baby.

Recently, I started to begin planning my delivery (i know it’s still really early but I’m just an overly excited first time mom) and I knew that my labor/delivery plan did not involve having my mom in the room. I’ve always been very private when about my body and I’ve never even liked for my mom to see me naked. My mom however is very open about stuff like that. To make things worse, my older sister (30) had my mom in the room when giving birth to her second and third children. When having her first child, my sister told my mom to wait in the waiting room while she pushed but my mom simply left because she felt disrespected.

Today i told my mother (F51) that she’s welcome to wait in the waiting room but i don’t want her in the room while i push. She said she just wouldn’t be there then. When i prompted her on WHY she wants to be in the room she simply said because her mom was in the room with her. I told her that’s not a good reason and that she’s not entitled to be in the room while i give birth just because she’s MY mom. Again i prompted WHY she wants to be in the room and she said “because i want to” to which i replied, “I’m the person giving birth so i think what i want is more important”….she had no response to that. She ended up saying that if she couldn’t be in the room then my best friend shouldn’t be in the room either and that it’s only fair that way. But my best friend (20F) and i have been friends for TEN YEARS and i AM comfortable enough for her to see me naked or talk about sex or other private things. It’s a completely different relationship. I can understand how my mom might be upset about it, but isn’t it up to me who gets to be in the room for this life altering moment in MY LIFE??

Now she’s giving me the silent treatment which really sucks because I’m staying at her house for a few weeks. Now I’m not even comfortable in the place where I’m staying.

AITA?

I've always loved animals, and a few months ago I decided to get a pet chicken. I named her Lucy, and she quickly became the sweetest little creature. She follows me around the house and garden, and I love having her around.

My neighbor, however, is not so thrilled. She has complained several times that Lucy's presence makes her uncomfortable. She says she finds the sight of a chicken in my garden unsettling, and she doesn't like the sound of her clucking.

I tried to be understanding at first. I made sure to keep Lucy in a coop during the night, and I even offered to bring her inside during the day when my neighbor was around. But she still seemed unhappy, and eventually she told me that she thought it was "unhygienic" to have a chicken in a residential area.

I was taken aback by this, and I tried to explain that Lucy was perfectly clean and well-cared for. I also pointed out that several of our other neighbors have pets, including dogs and cats, which can be just as messy as a chicken. But my neighbor was still insistent that Lucy needed to go.

I don't want to get rid of Lucy, but I also don't want to cause any problems with my neighbor. AITA for keeping my pet chicken even though it makes her uncomfortable?

The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn't. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.

This was evil manifest.
