My friend once told her 14 year old son that she was making a sort of stewed chicken dish he was fairly neutral on. This was in the morning as the dish was to be slow cooked all day. When it came time for dinner she realized she didn't have the right veggies to do that exact meal, so made a very slightly different meal that still used the same slow cooked chicken but this time mixed with pasta, and she knew her son generally preferred that meal anyways. When dinner was served he had a meltdown because he had emotionally prepared all day to deal with eating one meal, but was then presenting with another. It escalated with him throwing the dish of food across the room like that Always Sunny scene, smashing some other stuff in the house, and running and away and not coming back until the next morning. He kept over and over calling it a "dinner of lies"

Combine that with being 14 and I guess you get some dumb results. But I'm assuming from context he's autistic, maybe I'm wrong.

Shanghaied posted:AITA if I think a 14 year old is way too old to be pulling this poo poo, absent of any mental/developmental issues? oh yeah he's big time autistic, and back then he refused to admit it. Almost all his childhood he refused any medication, therapy, or even just acknowledging his autism. He was 100% normal, it was everyone around him who were unpredictable liers launching a coordinated effort to constantly send him into meltdowns. He was also terrified of being officially branded as special needs or different and thought it would ruin his life, rather than actually allowing him support. He wouldn't even go through the process that would let his mom collect some extra support money or anything like that. He's finally come to terms with his various conditions and now he's doing great in life. No more meltdowns, holding a job, multiple girlfriends, no more constant police interactions.

Once he got his brain poo poo together all the girls in his extended peer group realized he was a giant hunk. Now the problem in the household is that his younger siblings have to constantly ask him to keep it down in his bedroom with often 2 at a time in there. They're trying to maybe get him a more isolated bedroom in the basement, but 17-18 is a tricky age.

The sister is described as their step sister and, among other issues, it's not clear how long their parents have been together, for example. It's also not clear how old the OP is.

Arc Light posted:Yeah, it's super dependent on location, job, and command. I've seen plenty of colleagues get sent home for family concerns. otoh my bunkmate in Afghanistan had to watch the birth of his daughter via Skype because our command wouldn't send him home for it. OP there is pretty clearly American, but even though the US isn't in a shooting conflict, the military's deployment ops tempo is as high as it's ever been. Sucks for the stepfather if he's in the Horn of Africa, or out to sea, or whatever. I can definitely buy the husband not being able to come back or it taking longer to get all the paperwork through then it would take to simply complete the deployment, but my understanding is that military families tend to kind of self organize into a loose support group of people that you can trust with your life during an emergency (yet can't trust to be around your spouse unsupervised). I wonder if that support network could've been tapped. Sure the husband would have run the risk of the house being used to reenact The Apartment and anything remotely scandalous in the house being used as a source of drama chatter for years to come, but it wouldn't have put all of the responsibility on a teenager who just had their world shattered.

Deformed Church posted:Maybe it's a physically large puzzle with a small number of relatively large pieces? I can't imagine 200 pieces of anything that would take more than an evening or even a part of one to put together. Maybe if it's one of those model kits where you're gluing or bolting on pieces? But a "puzzle" in the sense of pieces snapping together for someone who is supposed to be into puzzles that is odd. Not that OP did anything wrong, just a weird detail.

Boyfriend refused to change his bean stained shirt before bed and we argued about itquote:My boyfriend spilled beans on his shirt giving him a stain that went through to his undershirt. Were both dudes. I said he can grab a clean one from my closet. He kept declining as I insisted on giving him a clean shirt. Frustrated, I told him he's not sleeping in that shirt in my bed cus I find it disgusting, which was admittedly not nice of me. He grabbed my hands when I tried to clean it for him. He was visibly irritated. He vaguely threatened to leave. We had a little argument. How dare (s)he jeopardize the bean(s tained shirt) tater_salad fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Feb 12, 2024 |

On the other hand, it's possible that the OP and their step sister normally get along well and the step sister is just really pissed about her life imploding and being left on her own for three weeks. We really can't know, but I don't think either possibility makes it really look like the step sister's fault? The way I see it, probably either the step sister is fairly mature for her age and doesn't want to be involved with a dumb situation that isn't her fault or problem, or she's not very mature and it was incredibly irresponsible to leave her alone for 3 weeks in which case the house being left unattended is not the biggest issue with the situation.

I can see it being somewhat challenging if its just a close-up of two faces (OP said it was of her and her friend on graduation). Making it 1000+ pieces would just mean you have hundreds of pieces that are just skin and nothing else. There are those who enjoy 1000+ piece puzzles that's just like a picture of the night sky or gummy bears or jellybeans or a field of wheat or a brick wall or something . But they are freaks.

mystes posted:The way this is phrased is really weird to me because reading the whole thing it seems like the issue is most likely that they were at the OP's place and the boyfriend didn't want to take of his shirt because he would have had to not have a shirt on or wear one of the OP's shirts but it's worded in a way that makes it almost seem like the boyfriend just really wanted to wear a bean stained shirt for some reason? It made me laugh when they said it was a comfort thing, I'm sure they just meant the BF understandably likes clothes he's used to wearing, but it does make it sound like the guy just likes beans on his shirt
