OtherSo I (50M) have a neice and a nephew who are both 18 and just graduated. A few years ago when they were entering HS I made a deal with them, if they kept a B average their entire time in high school I would buy them any car of their choosing, within reason of course. We added a clause that they got 1 semester forgiven, so they were able to mess up one semester and I wouldn't hold it against th...
OtherMy uncle’s new girlfriend came to family dinner the other night and it was the first time anyone in my family met her. She is super into essential oils which is very eyeroll inducing for me but I didn’t say anything about it or show that I found it annoying at first. I bit my tongue while she went on about putting them in her water (you should not be ingesting essential oils) and rubbing them ...
Family ConflictI am married to my husband who has a 17 year old daughter from his first marriage. We have been married for 4 years. So we have her this month because her mother was diagnosed with the big C that is floating around while it was our week with step daughter. She started her period last Thursday and it was bad. I am talking 3 days in bed, puking, cramps of h**l. I had similar symptoms when I wa...
RelationshipI feel like I need to say this for this post not to be removed, this is not about the date, about relationships or som**hing I want a judgement on me walking out of there. Cast: Me (25M), Joe(26M), Jane(24F) To give you a little background to this situation, I met Jane through Joe's girlfriend at her birthday party last year. At first Jane was fun to talk to but not even an hour later Jane w...
Family ConflictMy uncle thinks it's funny to get me to run back and forth between the pool and the kitchen getting him drinks. He will say he wants a Coke then claim he asked for a beer, then asked where his Coke is. He usually blames it on us d**n millenials always being on our phones and not paying attention. For whatever reason my parents don't tell him to p**s off. It started getting old a long time a...
OtherI am a plus sized gal who is really into fashion. I usually donate my clothes unless I can resell them. My friend Katie is really into “refashioning” clothes from thrift stores. She buys plus sized clothes and then alters them into her size with a lot of other changes, like making them into crop tops or mini skirts or things. It’s a really popular creative thing to do. Well she asked me if ...
OtherI am married and have 3 kids, all are teens. My husband and I both work and my kids are in school and do sports or clubs after school. I recently hit a ceiling in my field and in order to continue to grow professionally, I had to get a graduate degree, so I started my masters degree. In the past, I usually did most of the ch**es. My husband does the typical “man” ch**es” my kids have some of th...
OtherAfter reading your comments and taking some time to process what happened, I decided that our relationship needed a serious talk. I sat him down to discuss how his presentation came across as not just unfunny, but pretty disrespectful. Well, what does he do? He smirks and goes, “Oh, I was prepared for this!” He actually grabs his laptop, connects it to the TV again, and presents me with anothe...
OtherI (27M) was bullied really badly by this one girl (27F) for many years, right up until I left high school. I've since moved on and forgot about many of those things. So it came as a surprise when I saw her again when I went out shopping. I wasn't even in my hometown so it really was a coincidence. Well she recognized me and I tried to pretend I didn't notice her, but she called my name. So ...
OtherI (32M) have shared custody of my 13 yo daughter. Earlier this week we went to the mall since she’s been asking me to go and I was happy with how she’s been doing in school. Midway through after we hit a few stores she asked me to go into Victorias secret, I asked what she wanted (thinking som**hing like perfume) and she said she wanted bras that fit better, not my area of expertise so I asked one...
Family ConflictI (21M) have a strained relationship with my parents. They are involved in pretty much every social event/circle in our city be it church, school, clubs etc. For them, what over people think is the most important thing. For that, they will lie about pretty much any "bad" thing that could potentially tarnish their standing and have forced my sister (24F) and I to behave in certain ways or follo...
Family ConflictI (30f) have been married for the last two years and together with my husband (33m) for a little over 4.5 years. He's divorced with two children (11 and 13) with his ex. I was not the other woman. They were not married when I met him and had been divorced for at least 3 years by that point. But the ex was very difficult once I moved in with my husband. It was som**hing that could be managed by...
