AITA for saying “that’s a mother-daughter moment, not a father-son”?

quote:

So, my (42F) bf (44M) has two sons (26M and 21M) most of kids’ lives it’s been just the three of them ever since their mother left, I came into the picture 3 years ago, of course they don’t see me as a mother but we get along.

So now to the issue, 26M is getting married to his Fiancé (24M) this June 3rd, so my bf loves his kids, they are his everything, so bf says he wants to do something special on his son's wedding and came up with the idea of dancing together with his son “Slipping through my fingers” by ABBA, my bf says this song has a significant meaning for him because his babies are no longer “babies”, his son agreed, I get it the song is nice, I like it but it’s meant to be between a mother and a daughter not a father and a son so I told my bf that it’s a dumb idea, that song it’s not for father and son, IT’S A FACT.

I’ve been to a gay wedding before and they didn’t do this father-son thing, if someone were to dance with him it was his mom (but they didn’t invite her) or his grandma and ultimately me but not my bf.

Now bf and 26M are mad at me and threaten to uninvite me from the wedding if I keep up with this “attitude” but it’s not attitude, it’s a fact.

Now, my question is, am I being unreasonable? Am I being the AH? I’m just saying the truth, that song is a for a mother and a daughter, I think my bf’s love for his kids and sadness for “losing” him doesn’t let him see facts.

IT'S A FACT

Yeah, I've always hated going grocery shopping with another person because I felt like I was just in the way, sometimes literally with all those narrow aisles. And as far as bonding activities go, I don't think it's great because most people find it tedious at best.

It's fine if you and your partner kind of eat your own different food for the most part but do share some meals. You can both dip in, grab whatever staples you need, then spend a bit of time looking at the more indulgent sections you rarely look at to buy sushi or dessert or something along those lines to split later

walmart safeway and the ethnic grocery / boedga dont tend to be in the same shopping center. I live in rural bumfuck nc. If i want to go to the hispanic bodega walmart and food lion its taking me a minimum of 2hrs. thats assuming i dont have to wait in line longer then 5 mins at each place. i probably dont at the bodega if i didnt special order something they gotta get out of the back for me but i regularly wait in line for like 30mins in walmart and 10 mins in food lion.

the reason you go to all 3 places is selection. walmart doesnt have the soups i want most of the time and food lion does. and niether of those is going to get me some mole in their deli and their conchas are going to be stale as poo poo. plus i can never find lime juice or the hotsauce i like anywhere else.

plus if you live in an area with a large population using the ethnic grocery you can be waiting awhile just to pay. most small places like that in my experince atleast dont have a quick way to pay with a card. they gotta tell you that paying with a card is $X because they arent getting cc priority rates so the company is charging em a bunch of money for you to use your card. they usually have a older 90s swipe machine that the newer insert cards hate to use. my own card just wont accept being swiped so i always have to stop at the bank the day of / before i go there. so if hes counting anything like that you can easily make up that 3rd and possibly 4th hour.

The shopping isn't the issue - pressuring someone into changing a counseling/therapy appointment is. "Oh no, we don't have a second car or a third set of hands for all our bullshit" isn't an excuse.

As someone who’s also dealing with a grandfather with terminal cancer (but thankfully with a not-poo poo family), this one made me see red.

That could very well be true since it is a reddit story, but parents can definitely be weird about adult children sleeping in. When my mid-20s sister was living at home, my dad still acted weird if she was up after 9ish on Saturdays, even if he never tried to institute mandatory wakeup times. Like, she's working full time, it's okay for someone to have one day a week they don't have to get up way too early, even if you feel compelled to do so yourself!

Plus people who are worried about waking up early waste all the prime awake hours between 12-4am.

naw it's an actual product that's supposed to recreate the schwag of our youth. it's just regular ol non-psychoactive hemp, but they market it as if it's comparable to schwag. but it is not. it's comparable to rope. maybe it's useful for people who don't live in a legal state and also don't know anybody, but tbh im not sure that there are very many people who fit that description

Hydromorphone, also known as dihydromorphinone, and sold under the brand name Dilaudid among others, is a morphinan opioid used to treat moderate to severe pain. Typically, long-term use is only recommended for pain due to cancer. It may be used by mouth or by injection into a vein, muscle, or under the skin. Effects generally begin within half an hour and last for up to five hours.

Living in Colorado my whole life I was spoiled on weed, I didn’t even see actual honest-to-god brickweed until I was like 24 (two years after we legalized it here) when a friend and his friend dropped by on their way through town driving from TX to AK.

My friend’s friend pulled out a bag of brown bullshit and was like “I brought this straight from the border” and it took a while to convince me it was actually weed, let alone weed that was safe to consume

Weed guy should cut back or quit for the baby, but his weed use is likely a lot closer to a glass or two of wine a night than a bottle or two. Weed tolerance builds up very quickly and a joint is probably nothing to him if he's been smoking that much for that long. He's also spending probably $10-20 a day depending where he gets it, which adds up when you are going to have another mouth to feed for at least 18 years.

In a legal state a 1 gram joint runs between $1-3. Just saying.

drat, that's nuts. You're lucky to get a legal gram of weak rear end weed for $8 in most of Canada, closer to $15 for the strong stuff. Cheaper in BC but that's usually grey market.
