That woman is going to die in childbirth and the brother needs a convenient dumping spot for the corpse(s), so why not someone else's yard?

Oh, I was waiting for an update about that woman whose husband and FIL were both completely obsessed with the idea that she would die in childbirth.

This one?

How do you talk to someone who tunes you out and just asks "are you going to yell at me again?" every time you talk to them?

Like 99% of porn is raw, to the point where studios fight hard against condom mandates because it sells so much worse. I'm sure any company or business shooting porn would pay for birth control if that was an issue, or give out Plan B like candy on sets.

It's extremely unlikely that story is true, because for the BIL to somehow get 2 women pregnant while filming porn it would mean he is working for the sketchiest, most dangerous, unregulated shoot possible and he's likely got a boatload of STDs. "My husband is a sex worker" still doesn't sound believable to explain how you end up with two babies.

Even if you believe the OP isn't fakeposting, isn't it much more likely the BIL was cheating and made up the porn thing as cover?

I read this and I have to question if the parents really do not already know their son is gay. They know he regularly goes over to another man's house for "sleepovers", just the two of them. Do they really not already know he is gay?

I don’t see how the arrangement her bf proposes is any different than her just renting an apartment from any random landlord. No claim to any ownership and downpaying for his property?

Well, he wants her to contribute half of the 20% down payment on the property, which isn't normal for a renter to do.

There’s an old adage about “if you want to know who is in charge, look for the people you’re not allowed to criticize,” which has pretty much been ruined by assholes claiming anti-discrimination laws prove that the world is run by black female gay trans Muslim Jews, but I think it does accurately apply to the Reddit rule of not being allowed to say the m slur, manchild.

I've heard a lot of examples lately of people criticizing others for "Thinking X is a personality" or "Having X instead of a personality", where is X is something like "The Office," "spicy food," "Genshin Impact," "INTJ," or "Hating Nickleback," but what does it mean to have a personality in the first place? How does a person get a personality? I'm not really being facetious.

AITA for telling some the reason I don’t have kids and saying if they wanting me to be a parent they would give me money.

After they had the baby extend family, my great aunt, started talking about how important family was. She mentioned my husband and I weren’t getting younger and we should start our family like my younger brother is doing. I tried to brush it aside but she kept going. Eventually I said that I can’t have kids normally and she was concerned about it so much she could keep paying for IVF. She got mad and called me ungrateful. My family is saying that while she was wrong I should I have kept my mouth shut to keep the peace. So am AITA?


Ungrateful? Ungrateful for what? Aunt hasn't done anything.

AITA kicking my stepson out after he tried stealing my necklace while I was asleep?


Why would stepson steal the necklace multiple times only to hid it in the house where OP could find it? Why didn't he immediately pawn it the first time he stole it? And why try to steal it while she is wearing it if all the other times he stole it while it was unattended? I don't understand.

Probably the first time he hid it was to see if she'd notice that it was gone, so he just shoved it under the cushions as some implausible deniability that it had just somehow fallen under there.

The second time he knew she would notice, so he hid it better. Probably waiting to see it she'd raise a fuss and, if not, move it out of the house.

Third time, he was desperate to steal it, and all his "brilliant" plans had been foiled by her ability to look under cushions.

But that doesn't make any sense! It just made her more suspicious!

I suspect that it isn't the song so much as holding and paying attention to the baby for an hour that calms her down. And older sister wants younger sister to take care of because holding and paying attention to a baby for an hour is extremely inconvenient.

Oof.

You don't think that is a terrifying amount of control for a landlord to hold over their tenant? "Raise your kids according to the way I choose, or I'm tripling your rent!" Why are you okay with this? What if it was a Christian landlord annoyed that their step-nephew had stopped going to church, or something?

I adopted this strategy a few years ago and it's been spectacular so far. There are few ways of deflating this kind of rear end in a top hat better than simply asking them to explain why the joke is funny. I mean, it shouldn't be that difficult, they made it and they're laughing at it. I figure I'll either be laughing at the joke once it's explained or at an attempted apology through a mouthful of broken teeth.

That sound like a good strategy, but what do you do if they say

quote:

My god, you're so loving sensitive! Why can't you take a joke without making it an interrogation!?

or

quote:

It's funny because <directly insults your wife a lot>

What can you even say to someone like the sister who will observe you calmly, politely asking "please explain the joke?" and say you were "screaming" and you have "anger management issues"?

There was a post a while ago that I remember was really touching. Does anyone have it? The OP's nephew was being neglected by his parents, so his parents sent him to OP's farm one summer, basically to get rid of him. OP and her husband actually paid attention to their nephew and eventually, after a few years, he came to call them "mom" and "dad", which made his biological parents very angry. Does anyone have that post?

I've told this story before, but my ex-wife had a habit of putting things in the oven when they were in her way in the kitchen. Now I know some people store things like baking sheets and muffin tins in the oven because they take up space and they're metal anyway. Not the case with her. Literally anything in the way was going into the oven. One day I set it to preheat at 375 for dinner and went downstairs to change the laundry from the washer to the dryer. By the time I came back up the apartment was filled with smoke, the alarm was blaring, and she was out on the balcony pouring water on a smoldering black thing that I later found out was the goddamn CD player.

What, she was just trying to burn a CD. Isn't that how it works?

I eventually got her trained to do that AFTER I had dropped my work poo poo down and changed out of my work clothes.

If a cat can be trained, so can a people. In theory.
