I have doubts about it being real, but my favorite part is how she even has issues with him making his own meal.

Grill Chat, please

I feel like an rear end in a top hat now cause even though I will always say 'thank you' afterwards, I hardly ever say please beforehand.

My only experience with trying to learn a second language was German and even then there were sounds I had a hard time differentiating from others and an even harder time replicating.

I could totally believe the ponytail story is just an AI expanding a real post made by some 13 year old kid into an infinitely repeating mess.

It all depends where he lives. California could make the $180k/yr be more like a normal middle class living. Anywhere else is like Brady Bunch maid money.

It really sounds like a spoiled brat getting brought down to normal and thinking they are being oppressed. The fact that they reacted to a new baby at 15 like a 5 year old would is very telling.

Seems to me to be a little column a, a little column b. So spoiled kid but also bad parents.

I can agree to that. I suppose it is my bias against people expecting their parents to fund their college that threw me.

My step dad complained endlessly about child support but refused to do more than spend time with his daughter a few times a year. He paid $50 a week.

I see that someone cosplaying as the grandma is posting in the comments ranting about how people today are selfish:

Totally not the MIL, honest posted:

Honestly I've been reading this forum for a few days now, and it's the norm for people on reddit to basically be all Me Me Me.

In some ways, it's like a twilight zone- a fascinating glimpse into another universe where it's considered bizarre and selfish for a grandmother to want to be around her grandson.

Either me(17m), my sister(14), or my dad(50s) looked up gay porn on his laptop. My mom wants to know who it is, my dad accused my sister, but I think it may have been my dad. What should I do?

quote:

Currently because someone broke mine, I�m using my dads laptop to do some school work. My sister also uses it for whatever idrk.

Two days ago, I asked my mom to proofread an essay I�m writing so I got my dads laptop, opened it up in front of her only to show a gay porn video. I was stunned, and my mom was disgusted. I slammed the laptop shut, and my mom asked me if I was secretly gay and looking through porn on the laptop. I�m not and have never intentionally seen gay porn so I denied all of that.

My mom then said that it must�ve been my sister. Which I didn�t think was like her at all, but I also thought there was no way my dad was looking at gay porn.

My mom went and spoke to my sister who also denied it. She told us she�d wait till our dad got home to figure this out. She spoke to our dad and he reacted very strangely. Like I expected him to be more confused but he seemed more defensive. My mom didn�t even accuse him, but when she told him he immediately went on the defense. His reaction was just not what I would�ve expected.

He immediately accused me. And he came to me and said he knew it was me and that if I just came clean about it they�d forget about it. I told him it wasn�t me as I�m straight. He said that he knew I was lying and just kept pushing. He eventually said he believed me and then he immediately punished my sister for looking at the porn on his laptop.

I spoke to her after it, I don�t think this is something she�d lie to me about, she said it wasn�t her at all and she�s never seen or looked up porn in her life. This seems much more like her, and because of my dads weird reaction, I think she�s telling the truth. In fact I�m sure it wasn�t either of us and my dad is covering his rear end.

What should I do?

No clue what to do, but some of the responses seem pretty awful:

Blame it on your sister. It will do the least damage. Also she's already been punished anyway.

AITA For walking out with my son after my inlaws started calling him with a different name?

It always drives me nuts when people post stuff and then disregard every answer that isn't the one they are looking for.

It is also frustrating when posters don't understand that the judgements and advice are based on the contents of their post alone, and then proceed to reply with stuff like "You weren't there, you have no clue what they are really like." No poo poo, we can only go on what you post, so don't make them out like a super creep if they really aren't.

yes, because when you have a brain damage of some type your ability to reason often becomes impaired

sometimes you need to learn how to get your critical thinking skills and executive functions back after something like this. you don't just magically get these things back. they're developed over your entire goddamn life but can be scrambled in an instant. you need time to heal and re-learn, and even then you may never 'think' in exactly the same way you did before.

like, what organ do you think makes decisions? and, which organ was subjected to a serious trauma, again? and wow look now suddenly she's making terrible decisions! after being a high-functioning achiever before.

it's almost like there's a clear line between the brain injury and her ability to reason degrading. in those instances fear drives you cling to whatever rock you can, such as a parent, whom you may even mirror for security (which sounds like she's doing).

Does the woman's mental health matter as far as the boyfriend's responsibility goes? Even if she is certifiably brain damaged due to her illness, should that matter as far as what the boyfriend is responsible to support?

From the OP's further comments, they put the autistic child in a group home when they were 11, after they fought the state to pay for it. They had no excuse regarding not having time after that point to help their other children.

Hell, they have had YEARS to plan for the eventual need for someone to take care of the group homed one, but waited until they were in their 60s to do anything about it.

Further comments by the OP stated they have lawyers involved, so at least the lawers have a feeling they, as in the lawyers, can make money off of the lawsuit.

And they didn't do anything sooner because they didn't have the opportunity to go against a couple of vulnerable people who are mooching off of their "rightful" property. I honestly call into question if the land was actually stolen or if it was a bad business deal the great-grandfather made and then regretted.

Kinda off-topic, but someone ages ago posted a link to a reddit post in a subreddit that was basically this thread, where they gave commentary for stuff posted elsewhere. I tried searching for "best of" variations of the common suspects, but can't find anything. Can anyone help me?

AITA for telling my ex coworker's employer the reason why she was ostracised at the company?

maybe she didn't say she was pregnant during the interviews because she would have been illegally discriminated against for being pregnant 🤔🤔🤔

God loving dammit, I don't know what makes me angrier: the way the HR guy swears up and down he wasn't being vindictive when ruining the woman's career with other companies, or how they are shittons of Redditors upvoting him.

My "favorite" was when called out on him telling the new company's HR that she was untrustworthy and dishonest(but also a good and dedicated worker too!), he replied that he "made sure" she couldn't sue them.

AITA for throwing out stepchild's toy?

quote:

I became a stepmother about 6 months ago and it's hard. Older kid is okay most of the time (which he's 6 so that's most of them) but it's really difficult sometimes with younger kid who is 4. I didn't expect her to see me as her mommy right away but I think this is a little excessive. She's pretty oppositional, always saying "no" when I ask her to do simple things like pick up something she dropped, but if dad asks her she will not hesitate to pick it up. I don't know why. Hubs has talked to her and she's good for a day and then goes right back. (I only met her twice before I moved in so I'm not sure if she's like this with anyone besides me.) It came to a head today when I took kids to Mcdonalds while hubs was at work. Youngest would not sit still, I asked her multiple times to sit and eat her happy meal. Oldest eventually says "(my name) told you to sit down" and then she starts up with the "why" thing and touching/poking me with her stuffie she brought. At that point I just was over it so I took the stuffie and pitched it in the bin behind me.

I just wanted to let her know that bothering someone because you don't like what they're saying isn't ok. She cried, easily until we got home. Which is not what I wanted to do. Hubs was told what happened and says he gets what I was trying to say but maybe I was a little harsh. I don't think I was but I can see where he's coming from. I didn't want to hurt youngest just teach her.
