There were no inspections done on this food; before, during and after it was was grown. There was no FDA to check out she cooled and it picked it. I flat out told her that I was not going to eat it.

The perfect revenge would be to educate this guy about how little the FDA actually does - they just do occasional random inspections, it's not like they check every single tomato you find at a store. And I'm not even sure what vegetables he's expecting to be cooled, most vegetables last longer in the fridge but don't need to be refrigerated, especially if you're going to pick them and eat them the same day.

Guy would probably not be able to eat anything anywhere after that.

I thought from the first bit that it was gonna be something like the SIL having a terrible kitchen with unwashed chicken poo poo eggs or something. OP played themselves, fresh garden produce and home canned stuff is awesome. One of the things I miss most about living at home was being out in the country with chickens and a big garden, so much better than eggs and veggies from the store.

I'm pregnant with my second child, a girl due next month.

When my older son was born, my husband and I got him a "take-me-home outfit" to leave the hospital in. Choosing it became a very special memory for us, and we decided we'd do the same with whatever future children we had.

Last month, my father's girlfriend of two years (I'll call her "Betty") presented me with a onesie for my daughter. She specifically said that she wanted me to use it as the take-me-home outfit.

Betty had expressed the desire to buy that outfit three times since I'd announced my pregnancy. On all of those occasions, I explained that me and my husband wanted to pick it and buy it ourselves, and that choosing the first clothes our daughter would wear at home meant a lot to us both. When Betty gave me the onesie, she jokingly said she was "saving us the effort."

I sincerely thanked Betty, but told her my husband and I still wanted to pick the take-me-home outfit ourselves. I don't think she took it seriously, as her only reply was that we wouldn't find anything cuter.

I'll be honest. I really don't like the outfit she bought. But even if I did, I wouldn't use it as the take-me-home. My husband and I were really looking forward to getting it ourselves, and even our son wanted to help us choose his sister's "special clothes."

A little under two weeks ago, we finally picked the outfit. It's a light yellow one that we fell in love with.

My father and Betty came over for lunch on Saturday. Before they left, my son excitedly showed them the outfit. When Betty asked about the one she'd gifted me, I reminded her that we'd wanted to choose the baby's take-me-home ourselves. The onesie she got me will be kept with the rest of my daughter's clothes.

She didn't say anything. My father called me the next day to tell me I'd made Betty very upset with my "attitude." He said that she put a lot of care into the outfit she'd picked, and it was petty and inconsiderate of me to dismiss her generosity.

Pretty much everyone that knows about this is on my side, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have my doubts. I also recently found out the onesie Betty bought was VERY expensive, so maybe that's what's making me doubt myself. That said, I did express how much this meant to me and my husband, and I told her not to buy the outfit several times.

AITA?

The 'no garden' guy reminded me of an anecdote from an Isaac Asimov book. He grew up in NYC and pretty much always lived in a big city. Once some friends invited him to their house, and offered to make dinner with veggies they had grown themselves. Without thinking he responded "Eat something from the DIRT?" and they laughed and assumed he was making a joke - but he actually had to make himself calm down and accept that yes, vegetables come out of the dirt.

I think it's great that people keep inventing very special memory moments that conveniently involve consumerism

I absolutely don't think the OP is the rear end in a top hat here, and if they have their own preference the father's girlfriend should respect it, but on the other hand who gives the slightest poo poo about what the outfit is and if they're going to blow $140 on a dumb special outfit maybe it would be easier to just use it instead of getting into a pointless argument about it?

Everyone's home kitchen would spectacularly fail a real health inspection.

Do you wash your hands in your kitchen sink, the same one where you might rinse vegetables? Failed.

I made this account today because my sister and parents are acting like I'm in the wrong and I genuinely don't see how.

My (19M) ex-girlfriend (20F) of 3 years broke up with me sunday night over text. She told me that she felt like my lack of ambition was holding her back and she needed to move on with her life because she felt like I didn't value her. When she sent me that I just sent "Okay" and blocked her and fell asleep shortly after.

I did not block her friends and had loads of messages yesterday morning when I woke up. They were asking me to unblock her and to talk to her. My sister (20F) is also friends with my ex-girlfriend and she told me that my ex was hurt by my sudden blocking and that she still wanted to talk to me for closure and wanted to make sure I was okay.

I told my sister that I was okay and that I didn't want to talk to my ex but would like it if she could tell her I appreciate her checking on me. My sister was not happy with this and told me that it was a hard decision for my ex and she just wants to talk to me. I again told her I was fine and that I'd rather not.

My sister then told me that I'm acting "insanely calm" for being broken up with someone I was with for three years. I again told her I was fine. She asked me if I cried and I told her that I didn't and I just fell asleep listening to music.

My sister told me that she's concerned about my "lack of emotion" and told me that my behavior isn't normal. I told her that I'm not obligated to cry over anything and I think it's weird that she was acting like I was.

My sister once again told me that it wouldn't hurt to have one conversation with my ex because she was still "worried" about me and wanted to stay friends. I once again told her that I was fine and didn't want to talk to her. She told me that my lack of compassion is "psychotic". That pissed me off so I just started ignoring her and she eventually left me alone.

This morning, when I woke up, my sister sent me abunch of text messages again so I just blocked her and because of this she went and told our parents and they are upset with me for blocking my ex without communicating first. They said that we've been together long enough and they thought of her as a second daughter.

I was just aggravated at this point and told them that I'd appreciate if they mind their business but they didn't stop so I told them that I wouldn't hesitate to block them too if they continue which caused them to stop.

They apologized to me and told me that they didn't mean anyharm but just felt like it was a little "inconsiderate" of me to just block her with out talking about it first but they won't press me to talk to her if I don't want too.

Together for 3 years, dumped via text and now needs to meet up. I'm smelling tik-tok backfire. Either way just lol at "We were together 1/6th of my life, she dumped me so I just said ok went to sleep." He'll be fine.
