A Wizard of Goatse posted:If you were in that actual apartment at the time instead of just one that got a bit damp running around the place while it was on fire tossing through closets to find your bag of... $1000 and a granola bar? would be an incredibly stupid idea. this whole thing is premised on the fantasy of being able to seize control of an innately unpredictable, extreme but cinematically appealing scenario by owning one gadget which is probably why people keep commenting on how American and prepper it is. the relative usefulness of a go bag in an actual emergency situation is a totally separate issue from the husband's reaction if your position is she's a ridiculous suburban housewife who doesn't actually know how to protect herself, I guess go ahead, but it isn't the grievance the husband had, it's just getting your kicks in on the wife that her relationship imploded over something you don't even think would have saved her in an emergency. also AreWeDrunkYet posted:Everyone is still talking about different things. You want to have a bag with some basic necessities for emergencies like fires or other disasters. It’s easy enough to maintain but also something you shouldn’t hide from your partner (and should actually discuss with them). Separately, having at least some financial resources and phone/SIM card hidden from your partner in case things get too real is also a good idea. There is little overlap between these concepts.

lovely mom with no boundaries? AITA for asking my son and daughter inlaw for a copy of the key to the new house they bought? quote:2 weeks ago my son [Ethan, 27]and his wife [Jess, 30] bought a small one story house in the town we live in. After settling down they invited us for a small party for the occasion.

Pope Corky the IX posted:This was the apartment next to me. I just want to say I'm really sorry you had to go through this! It can be really scary to have a fire get this close. I'm glad you got out safe! The building next to me burned down earlier this month, and it happened in the middle of the night. I woke up to people pounding doors telling us to get out, and I looked out to see fire lighting the sky up orange, even though it was 4am I was bathed in light. Our neighbor had to jump from their second story window while others caught them in a sheet. It made me realize I have absolutely no plan for what to do with my pets in a fire situation, which was scary AF. Take care everyone.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:400 words and still no explanation about why she wants a key (it is for snooping). Yeah if she could at least put together a coherent reason for needing a key, it wouldn’t be quite so obviously for snooping Ed: quote:Jess showed me the original key to the house and I asked if she made copies yet and she said no. I said she should and also give one copy to me as well. She looked at me funny and asked why she should. I explained that it is necessary so that it could be used in emergencies. she rudely said "I don't know what kind of an emergency that would require you having a key to our house, sure won't be a fire incident!". She obviously didn't seem to have any idea that a fire incident wasn't what I meant and I got offended by her sarcasm. This isn’t even a request, this is her telling the dil to give her a copy Why is a fire incident not what the mother in law means Missing reasons, cha cha cha, missing reasons cha cha cha rotinaj fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Feb 7, 2024 |

In fact it's a rather colloquial way of phrasing it in some parts of the world. StrangersInTheNight posted:also whenever someone pulls the 'it's my child's house too, not just yours' I narrow my eyes at them, because that is not how relationships work. That's the mom trying to pull rank and say the husband would allow her and only his say matters. But your child is now married and their home is shared with their partner, who they need to respect. This I 100% agree with but without being there, we don't know if it was an escalation in response to an escalation or what. They sound like they both suck

That's the mom trying to pull rank and say the husband would allow her to and thus she can 'veto' the wife. It's basically saying, 'well, you don't actually have say in this, only me and your husband do', which is really lovely. And your child is now married and their home is shared with their partner, who OP needs to respect.

I've got my sister's idk why we have never been there when they're not, barring a couple weeks after the fire thing

AITA for giving my MIL a fake copy of my house key and "exposing" her on Christmas dinner?quote:I wanna preface this by saying that I f34 married my husband m37 a year ago. His mom is snoopy and annoying af. She can't help it that is just how she is as my dear in laws say. quote:He blamed me one time for not locking the bedroom door which is something we never do and the second time for when she walked in on us making out in the living room. He said intimate stuff should happen in the bedroom just to be extra careful about people walking in aka his mom and saw no issue with her walking around in the apartment like she lived there.
