Also, I'm a socialist, but jerking yourself off because you make $60k in a country where median household earnings are $67k and you're 30 isn't a loving flex. If you're gonna be a classist shitheel, please at least try and be a less mediocre contestant in the rat race. A little over a decade ago, I was a department manager at a Walmart, and yes, it can be a pitstop for people who don't have the skills to lie their way into a convincing resume, but I also met a lot of kind and good people who just needed a paycheck and had rough lives, and they deserve better than this guy's misplaced sense of superiority.

The only rule is Hyrule, and in the comments OP mentions that his gf doesn't work because she comes from a super rich family and that most of the money she loans/gives to her friends is buying them food, which I feel adds an entirely new dimension to the OP's lovely classism.

Fuckin love the fact that this 27 year old is upset his mother moved on with her life despite also hating that she was... being his parent and wanted him to do school stuff as a teenager.

The rare estranged parent where it actually is the child that's the narcissistic rear end in a top hat. Good on the in-laws for realizing there son is a poo poo and properly treating his ex like a human being, at least.

Some people just like having a big fancy wedding. And that's fine. The requests she made were not where she was the rear end in a top hat. She was the rear end in a top hat when her response to a couple of the bridesmaids saying "no, I can't afford this" was to have a huge meltdown instead of trying to make things easier for them or just saying "I understand, and I'd be happy if you could still make the wedding."

I don't understand how someone can be "extremely against infant adoption" to the point that she can "rant for hours about how it should be banned."

I understand not wanting to adopt an infant... but like... what should be done for orphaned or unwanted infants if not put up for adoption? It feel like this isn't a well thought out position.

From the comments, the husband apparently had a super-lovely experience with being adopted, to the point where I frankly can't blame him for not being too keen on the concept.

quote:

His parents were very young when they had him, I believe is mother was in an abusive home, and his adoptive parents were on the market for a baby. His bios were promised an open adoption, and were promised he'd be raised knowing his heritage, adoption agency going as far as saying they'd place him with a Jewish family. Adoption was finalised before they met the parents.

When he was young his adoptive parents cut off his bios, moved him across the country and raised him very Christian. He's now learning about his heritage, and his religion with his bios. And I know all of this because he literally never stops talking about it.

AITA for not attending my daughters gender reveal for her lizard?

holy poo poo the edit makes it so much worse...

quote:

EDIT: In the time I was away I got many replies and it was a lot to read through. Let me clear a couple things up.

1. My issue is that she said the party was a gender reveal, if she had called it just a party I would have come. But calling it a gender reveal makes it sound like it's for the lizard, and I'm not going to that even if it is a "joke".

2. I don't know why it matters but the Skink is a girl which is why I said "I'm not coming to a gender reveal unless it's for a real grand daughter."

3. Even though I don't agree with my daughter for being childfree, I have been supportive and only shown mild frustration. The reasons she decided to be childfree is she claims she's asexual, she just doesn't want one, she has emotional baggage and feels unable to care for a real child, she fears pregnancy, and she has a carrier gene like me and "doesn't want to go through what I did" (I had 4 miscarriages and a highly defect child that died after 3 months due to the gene). Yes there has been slight tension between us because I think she just hasn't found the right man (she never dated growing up) and her other fears are unnecessarily exaggerated, but it's ultimately her decision and I don't resent her.

4. We haven't seen each other in three months. I'm a single mother and we have always been close which is why she invited me with her friends, I just didn't want to go to a party with a lizard, and if it wasn't for the lizard she should've called it a party instead of a gender reveal.

While it is definitely a thing and can be annoying when people just ditch friends because they have someone to gently caress now, OP just doesn't come across sympathetic at all.

She didn't even ditch her friends, she just stopped hanging out with them quite as often. You know, because she's an adult with a job and a relationship and some hobbies that don't include obsessively clinging to the same people she grew up with.

But again, there's blur functions. Maybe that would be worse bc then it's just a blurry guy hanging out in the BG?

It never said anything about it being a small business setting, and he's taking over for his current boss (probably some lower-middle management type position), not the entire company.

They should probably just take the deal, tbh. Even the OP kind of understands they probably shouldn’t have gotten the house, and 150k when you were expecting nothing ain’t half bad. Could maybe even snag a house with it.

I really have no idea what the grandmother was thinking, though. She really should have at least told them not to do the renovations or something...

You can kind of figure it out pretty easily that the OP is a total piece of poo poo, but she then absolutely ethered herself in her replies when asked "hey, so why does your entire family hate you?"

Indian wedding would make a lot of sense, since it's supposedly this big, exhausting affair that's very much more for the families than the people actually getting married. The Indian people I've known who've had traditional weddings talk about it roughly they same way you'd talk about a weeklong waterboarding session, so good on the brother for dodging it.

It's come up a couple of times in recent posts, most recently the one where old mate tore his fence down to spite the neighbour who owned the pool, and the laws of that area only mentioned needing a fence if you owned a pool. I did some googling to see if it's an actual USA phenomenon and this is what I got.

I also went and had a look at some random places in the USA on Google Maps.

Might be just a regional thing in the USA, but it doesn't happen anywhere here, even if it's just a little tiny fence to demarcate the property.

I mean, it's not a hard and fast law that you need one or anything; you're allowed to not have one if you like. In my experience, most have at least some amount of fencing, though fully enclosing your property with a gate and everything is pretty rare.

The family is definitely horrible for the way they treat OP, but the woman also admits she's unable to express herself without the use of her music. Are ALL of her interactions with her family based on what she's playing? If performing is her only personality trait, I could see how that would get old fast. Was the wedding the final straw where OP couldn't be at someone else's special day without somehow shoehorning in her piano playing? Maybe I'm too used to reading stories where the OP is in fact oblivious to how obnoxious they're being. This thread gets to you after a while.

tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if the OP has begged her family for money at least a few times now. For all she tries to give the impression that she's made a proper career, she can't even afford like fifty bucks or whatever for a wedding gift to her sister; that's not a sustainable lifestyle by any measure. Her family all constantly telling her to get a real job would kind of make a lot of sense in that context, as well as them all being fed up with her going on and on about music and refusing to wake up and be realistic.

Even if (and this is a gargantuan if) he had some perfectly good reason to lock the money away most of the time with nothing so much as a monthly allowance or anything, his goddam child needs medical attention. He could just like, give her the combination and just change it when he gets back.

Of course that wouldn’t let him be an abusive rear end in a top hat to his family, so that’s right out.
