I wonder how this is going- quote:She’s spoiled at her dad’s house. He remarried when she was 5, she’s a stay at home mom, and my daughter is an only child over there. She used to come home saying “mommy (they told her to call his wife mommy) said I don’t need to clean up because I’m a princess”. She still doesn’t pack her own backpack or lunch, her dad pays her every time she competes in a track meet, and she has a credit card with no hard limit, she’s just told to “use her best judgement” or “be reasonable” quote:He can make me pay back pay. I was supposed to pay years ago but he said not to worry about it. Her dad and his wife totally enable this behavior. She used to come over and say “mommy says I don’t have to clean up because I’m a princess.” She also refuses to spend the night when she has school because she has to pack her own backpack and lunch. She has a rich ex who was happy to not make her spend money re: their kid and now she's binned that situation. Jealousy and hate for her own kid seethe out of her every word. What a weirdo.

AITA for not giving my little cousin my Crumbl Cookie?quote:This is going to sound dumb but I (16F) have been craving crumbl cookie all week and they had my favorite flavor on the menu (pink sugar cookie). I drove to crumbl and got a single cookie for myself. When I came home from crumbl. I ate half of the cookie and left the other half on the counter. The next day my aunt came over with my cousin (9M) . He saw my cookie on the table and asked me if he could have it. I told him no and explained to him that I have been wanting the cookie all week. He whined and said “But cookies are my favorite food”. I just said sorry and told him that the next time he comes over we could bake cookies together. He was not satisfied with my answer and ran to my aunt crying. My aunt said to just let him eat it and she will rebuy me the cookie some other time. The thing is. It was sunday and if you know about crumbl they change their menu every week (and pink sugar has not been on the menu in ages!). So this plan was not going to work. I told my aunt this and she said “he is only 9 and you're 16 you can sacrifice a cookie for a small child”. My cousin looked at my aunt again. I once again said no, my aunt just glared at me, turned, looked over at my little cousin and said “go ahead”. My cousin ran over to my cookie. I rush to get it before him but he picks it up first so since he was milliseconds aways from biting the cookie I push the cookie out of his hands and he starts crying. As he is bending down to pick it up off of the floor to still eat it I stomp on it causing it to mush everywhere. My cousin cries so aunt starts to yell at me calling me immature and that I should learn how to sacrifice things for family and children and how giving him the cookie would not have hurt me. She then said “how do you feel now that you are wasting your money from nobody eating it?”. I then told her I would have felt like my money was wasted either way since I bought the cookie for myself and didn't get to eat it.This threw her over the edge and then immediately complained to my dad. My dad is on my side but my mom thinks I should have just given him the cookie. I can admit stomping on the cookie was an overreaction but why would my cousin be entitled to the cookie I paid for just because we both want it? So, AITA?

If the cookie is big enough, and the children were parented good, you could be like "I get where you're coming from, but breaking him off a piece and saying 'you can have some, but this belongs to me and is important to me' would have been a better approach" But that assumes the smaller child has any concept of boundaries and also that you would expect the 16 year old to teach their younger cousin which isn't fair so I dunno ignore this entire post I guess Edit: also the teenager doesn't owe any cookie to anyone in the first place so I dunno, the aunt is the rear end in a top hat first and foremost though

Stories of adults being unwilling to say no to a child infuriate me.

It's so irritating because everyone in life has to learn that you don't always get whatever you want, and you need to have the skills to cope with that. The kid is 9; he's more than old enough to learn that lesson. But for the kid to hear a hard NO from his cousin and have his mom tell him to just go take it anyway is setting a really, really bad precedent. Not really the kind of morality ("if you want it, just take it, even if you're told no) you want to instill in someone. I'd prefer if young boys (or anyone, really) aren't taught to override someone's "no."

Troublemaker posted:Yeah, that one confused me because she kept insisting that no other girlfriends were allowed to go, so why did OP get to go, and I was wondering which of the guys he was dating since he said they were all straight. Because if he's not one of their boyfriends, then her argument makes no sense. But apparently it's not the "no significant others" she has a problem with, it's that she thinks of him as a woman, and therefore other women should get to go. Yeah, at first I thought OP was dating one of they other guys, because "You said no partners but this partner is allowed" makes some amount of sense, but no, this is OP's friend group and they're taking a trip as friends without their partners.

mystes posted:I can't decide if The way I read it is 4) Gina is extremely homophobic and doesn't view OP as a "real" beer drinking footy playing GUY because he is gay. So is jealous that he gets to go a "guys trip" when he won't be playing football/smoking cigars/going to strip clubs etc. and all the other things that "real" guys do on these things. So its not fair that he gets to go and she doesnt. Because he wont be "enjoying" all the manly activities. Because he is gay, you see.

AITA for not addressing a parent “correctly”?quote:I am a teacher and I have a tough parent this year. This parent has been fine until recently when I called her by her first name after I was told that she wished to be addressed on all communication. I personally don’t use Ms. Mrs. Or Mr. Unless I know for sure what one they go by. She has said Ms. And Mrs. before interchangeably so I decided her first name was a safe option at that time because I was just told she wanted to be addressed on emails. She got mad and contacted my supervisors’ supervisor. After that she had said parent or Ms. is an okay way to address her. quote:She was simply upset about the face that I added guardian. I don’t think she understood that it was a mass email.

quote:The wedding was in the party room of a pizza place we love quote:I should've put my foot down and made sure her son had a classy wedding and not the "clown show you put on". Pretty sure if your wedding’s in a pizza place ‘classy’ is out of the question, clown or no clown. Unless the pizzas and clown had tuxedos? (Honestly that wedding sounds like it would have been a blast)

I have twice defeated a bear in close-quarters battle. In both cases I tactically assessed the situation and immediately neutralized the bear with a headshot from approximately 10m using a rock I found on the ground. The bear hosed off into the woods.
