I feel like the moment you ask "Do I have to comply with the investigation with the regulatory body?" is the moment you should realize you have already hosed up badly

If you want the regulatory body to allow you to continue to work in the field that they oversee you do have to cooperate with their investigations, yes.

But it doesn't sound like that will be an issue for this guy going forwards either way tbh.

Guess which movie is worth disowning your son!

AITA for getting a tattoo relatex to my favourite movie which my future father-in-law hates?

quote:

So basically I (27f) got a tattoo related to my favourite movie. I have multiple other tattoos too. The thing is, my fianc�'s (29m) father (54m) hates this movie to the guts. Like, literally. I didn't really care about it, I just never mentioned it to him like ever, knowing he hates it.

I got this tattoo on my arm, and he obviously noticed, but didn't tell me a word about it. He called my fianc�, who got mad and yelled at me for disrespecting his father's opinion, and told me he's threatening to not come to our wedding and cut us off completely. My fianc� didn't even have a problem with this tattoo at first, only now, and asking me to go remove it.

To add, I've planned this tattoo years before I met my fianc�, and I didn't get it done to upset his father, which I was accused of. My parents learnt about the situation and they're on my side, saying it's not that big of a deal, and father-in-law has nothing to do with my body anyways.

AITA for getting the tattoo??

edit2: I know I said I won't put the movie here but here you go: my tattoo is the mockingjay from The Hunger Games

I mean there's far worse adaptations, I just don't know if anyone's ever gotten a film 'a wrinkle in time' tattoo.

AITA for forbidding my daughters from my brother�s home after he exposed them to adult fun time?

quote:

This situation has caused significant turmoil in our family and I am being singled out as the one in the wrong here. I just need a reality check since I�m feeling confused how everyone else isn�t upset.

I have two elementary school aged daughters. It�s important to say that on their walk home from school they pass my brothers home first. My wife had asked them to pick some blackberries from my brothers yard on their way home. The girls had a short day on Friday for teacher in service so they would have plenty of time.

The girls went home without picking the berries. When my wife returned home a few hours later she asked why not, wondering if everything was alright. Our youngest explained the older sister said uncle was busy so they left. Wife asked the oldest and eventually got out of her that she thought she heard some grown up noises when they entered the house, so instead she left and told the younger one they could come back later. Then she said she didn�t know how long to wait so they just stayed home and waited for mom.

When I returned home from work and was told this story I was pissed. My wife doesn�t feel it was a big deal and the girls handled it fine. I confronted my brother and his husband and they hadn�t even known the girls were in the house at all. But he knows they stop by his home often when they�re let off from school, so that wasn�t the time for it, or at least lock the front door? It just feels deliberate.

I told the girls they�re no longer allowed to stop over at my brother�s home unsupervised. They can only go with my or my wife, or if grandparents are present. My wife is begging me to calm down but I just don�t see how this is fine.

Edit. To everyone saying my girls are ill mannered. We live in a small rural community, kind of place it�s safe to leave your front door unlocked. It�s normal here to show up at your family�s homes and let yourself in, usually just saying something greeting whoever�s home. Odds are good they�re probably not anywhere they�d hear a nock or doorbell anyway, just walk around the property or out in the barn till you find them. My brother�s home is practically a second home for them, so it�s natural to let themselves in never been a problem before.

Another edit. My wife had asked if the girls could pick berries Friday, but no I don�t think it was mentioned it was a half day. My brother didn�t need to be home for the girls to pick berries but they saw his truck and knew he was there so politely went to say hello to him. My brother has an odd work schedule where he works 2 or 3 days, then has something like a week off in between. I�m not sure why his husband was home during the middle of the day, not my business. But I hear your reasoning and understand I am overreacting, it was just shocking to me. We�re no longer going to ban them from visiting without supervision.

We live in the kind of place where it's normal to leave your front door unlocked, so my brother leaving his front door unlocked must have been some kind of intentional scheme.

Nocheez: Sep 5, 2000; Can you spare a little cheddar?; Nap Ghost

My family lives mostly in the same 25k person town that they all have for the last 3 generations. It's not unusual to stop by someone's house unannounced, but in this day and age we generally text or call beforehand. Everyone used the same code on their garage or lockboxes so we could gain access if someone needed help or to grab something.

One night, after a wedding filled with heavy drinking, 2 of my siblings and their spouses dropped off a third sibling/spouse at their home. After being gone for 15-20 minutes, the first 2 couples decide it would be hilarious to surprise the third couple by sneaking into their house and scaring them in their bedroom. Scare them they did! They laughed about my sister-in-law karate chopping the air as she had no loving clue what was happening.

This is but one reason I live 500 miles away, and do not use the "family lock code" on anything of mine.

I swear that just like the average suburban ccar size has inflated, so have stroller sizes. Literally every time I go to the zoo I gotta dodge these fuckin F-150 sized baby carts full of five year olds. Because the zoo is a place where you don't want your toddlers to run around.

Arsenic Lupin: Apr 12, 2012; This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.

In defense of parents: Airlines break guitars, break wheelchairs, and break strollers. If you want to be able to actually use a stroller when you get off the plane, you carry it on somehow.

That said, "somehow" is a big ask in the era of no coat closet, not enough overhead room, and not enough space in front of you. Certainly the family with 7 bags for 2 paying passengers was way out of line.
