It also sounds like a very Vince thing to do to hire someone with no experience in the business (fucker loves hiring Hollywood writers).

it's great how you can date, marry, and possibly have children with a nice, seemingly normal person, for several years, only to suddenly watch them inexplicably and irreparably break mentally beyond repair

quote:He has basically said that he gets enough social interaction through his games (he plays with other people) and he doesn't feel the need to go out with physical friends. I absolutely do not get this at all, a friend of mine is obsessed with his internet friends from Facebook/Scruff/Grindr/Etc, the vast majority of them he has never met and live in different states or countries. To the extend where if we go out he spends the majority of his time messaging them back and forth. And the thing that I find most bizarre about it, he has plenty of real life flesh and blood friends, he lives with his boyfriend of almost a year who moved in a few months after his last boyfriend of a year left him. Something Awful is fun at all when I'm at work or sitting home alone but randos from the internet are not your loving friends, put some goddamn clothes on and go out with your girlfriend and interact with actual people that will like help you move when she comes to her senses and dumps you or whatnot.

This woman was absolutely waiting for one thing to go wrong so that she could have some simmering resentments to nurse over ~her perfect day~ being ruined. It was very kind of the sister in law to take the fall so that the bride wouldn't have to vivisect another guest for wearing an off-white dress or immediately divorce her husband for getting an erection while slow dancing or some other such poo poo.

I'm kind of wondering how many of the posters in the 'I don't see what the big deal is/chick's a bridezilla' camp are parents and get huffy if their kids are asked not to be brought to something. How is 'I asked them not to bring kids, but they brought kids' any different from 'It was specified as black tie formal, they kicked me out for showing up in ripped jeans and a stained Buffalo Bills t-shirt'? Hosts make the rules.

LadyPictureShow posted:Well you see, my perfect angels would never... I don't have kids, never want to have kids, and honestly just plain don't like children much. All these things said, the amusement comes from the ridiculously stuffy and indignant way of her writing everything, and picturing a grown woman screeching while running from another room to insist that a few children stop dancing. Yes, hosts make the rules. She was entirely justified to insist that children not be there. However, when you are taking the stance of "NO, THE CHILDREN MUST STOP DANCING AND GET BACK TO THEIR ASSIGNED ROOM" then a bunch of people on an internet comedy forum are going to make fun of you. For your example, imagine that you stay in your tux all through the ceremony, but then decide to take off the jacket or loosen your bow tie during the reception, then the bride begins screaming at you that you're ruining her wedding by not being dressed up. Only imagine that the person loosening their tie is a child who is now depressed because they feel like they did something wrong. It's the woman's right to set her rules, but the woman is needlessly stupid about them and so she is, again, going to be made fun of.

That analogy only works if the bride paid a team of professionals $2000 to keep my jacket on me but I took it off anyway.

Yeah, the bride is technically in the right, but it sounds like the kids were ejected before she even had to look at them, and everything she writes she make her pretty unsympathetic. The real problem is that both sides keep escalating their dumb hyperbolic outrage, which sucks because they're basically stuck with each other as relatives now.

Also it was a destination wedding. The family had shelled out money to travel to the place. Let the drat kids dance at the end of it. Also there’s no real need to be a party pooper to the kids and make them feel like crap.

Except it doesn't sound like she was screaming, it sounds like they quietly informed the wedding coordinator and she took care of it discreetly.

Kids are a burden period and you are a selfish piece of poo poo if you think people want to deal with your obnoxious animals while they are trying to have a nice meal or cocktails or just enjoy adult conversation. I know you think they are special little angels and how could anyone hate your children but we have a serious problem where it is a taboo to say we don't want your animals at a sit down restaurant. Basically you shouldn't take your children anywhere that does not specifically welcome children, if there isn't a ball pit or person walking around in an animal suit or a petting zoo hire a goddamn sitter, if we wanted to be around children we have the option of our own volition. God parents are just the worst.

If the kids want to dance when you get back to the hotel play some music on your phone or whatever and let them dance in a way that doesn't disturb anyone else's enjoyment.

Wife [35f] doesn't want kids speaking to their step-brothers because of their fathers cheating. They all knew and didn't say anything. They're not listening and now she wants to kick them out. How to talk sense into her?quote:My wife and I have now been married for a year and a half now. She was in a previous marriage that ended horribly-the husband was cheating on her, and his kids (15, 16, 17) as well as hers (15 and 16) knew about it- but no one said anything until after she found out. The reasons as to why nobody knows. There is still some resentment between her and her sons and , and she doesn't want her communicating with their (ex) step-brothers at all. No communicating with TRAITORS WHO KNEW

Also fake as she says 2 years older but the friend is 19 and he's 18. OP is the 17 year old. Ignoring the probably fake part, as if it is real, it's still dumb. Why is she crying because her friend is talking about how she slept with the dude? Presumably that would have been part of the conversation they had anyway, why does 5 other girls make it so bad? If OP was the one who'd slept with him, and Friend told 5 girls about it, I could see being upset.

I love Disney, but people get ridiculous. (Complaining that children exist at Disney things is a running theme there, I wonder why.  )

They're not listening and now she wants to kick them out. How to talk sense into her? Her kids are in their late teens. If she insists that they not see each other and threatens to kick them out over it, they're going to be cutting her out of their life in a couple years when they leave home, not the siblings. Then she's going to be that 40 year old crying that her children don't want to see her.

My god this happened years ago, I was in my late twenties when you divorced, I DON'T GIVE A poo poo IF YOU CHEATED OR DIDN'T, IT'S NONE OF MY drat BUSINESS, everyone on earth knew your marriage was toxic at the end, why the gently caress are you trying to drag me into this?

In front of 5 other girls, to make the shaming/superiority play public. If it were said in private, it is a lot less of a blow but still kinda sucks. "Hey person I know who sleeps around, tell me about this guy that I know is on Tinder" "Oh that guy *proceeds to tell about interaction with guy, which consists of sleeping with him*" I especially like the "I don't care about her sleeping with him" and "I don't care about his history" when the entire problem appears to be how much she cares about his history of sleeping with him. College kids are dumb and naive.

Haifisch posted:IME there's a huge overlap with people who seriously loving hate children and people who are super immature. That's Three Olives, though. He hated children before it was cool. Now he's moved on from being outraged that the sounds of children playing outside can be heard from his very expensive condo (because he is very rich and single, you see). Now he's on to unironically calling for the internment of people with disabilities so polite society (as if he has more than a passing acquaintance with the concept) doesn't have to look at or listen to the undesirables.

There is also a huge overlap of people with children that are entitled jackasses that act like having unprotected sex is some sort of accomplishment that forces the rest of us to bow to their convenience because their special children. If I wanted children I would have children, it's not that difficult, instead I use my time and money to craft the kind of lifestyle I want for myself which means not dealing with your obnoxious child at a nice dinner because your boyfriend forgot to pull out.
