Fifteen may get you twenty, but that's all right? Yikes. Well, it's a product of another time, and beyond that the song's nothing but fun.
Either way, it's gone now, and the choices are continuing to get difficult. Once you've made yours, vote here for Round 5: https://strawpoll.com/4zf71zcy

Livingston Saturday Night
So I hit her because no one talks trash about my mother, and then I hit myself because no one hits my mother, she then hit me because no one hits her son and then she hit herself because no one hits me, so I hit her because no one hits my mother
Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger
This line moves me more than any other in ASOIAF. What are some of the other poignant lines?
"Look, thyme fries when you’re having pho!"
Father: "For 18 years i've watched you grow up to be a great young adult, you have your whole life ahead of you. I'm so proud of Yew."
The difference is apparent.
K I’m a 21 year old dude and I’m in college. Last year I made the huge mistake of getting a girl from a party pregnant. This led to loads of issues. I told her from the beginning that I don’t have interest in being in the kids life because I didn’t intend on having a child and I have other goals and responsibilities in my life. I gave the mom full parental custody. My kids mother has consistently been hounding me and telling me that I’m wrong and a bad father, etc. I support financially because I have to. Other than that, it doesn’t affect me. For me it’s one of those situations I would take back in an instant, but I can’t. It already affects me with dating when girls find out that I have a kid. AITA for not wanting to be in my kids life?
My son is 14 years old, my stepdaughter is 6. I’ve been married to her mom for 3 years.
My dad and my son have always had a special bond. They are both very quiet introverted characters and I’m nothing like them. In some ways, I think my dad is a better father to my son than I am- where I pushed my kid into sports, my dad took him to the theatre, where I tried to get him into cars, my dad took him on cycling routes down by the coast. When I say the two are two peas in a pod, I mean it. I was young when I had my boy so I made plenty mistakes that my dad helped soothe over.
When I met my wife she wanted to move to Chicago to be closer to her family, so we moved. My son wanted to stay behind with gramps so he did. I see him very often still, and he’s happy so I’m happy.
My dad recently had an investment make a huge profit, so he gifted my wife and I a house but he has also bought my son a place for the future AND wants to pay off his entire college education.
I am stupid humbled by his kindness because we are not rich at all. My wife was so amazed by his kindness too because we were worried about the housing market. However I can’t help but be a little sad for my stepdaughter. She deserves an easy college life and a house paid off for too but how fucking entitled will it sound to ask my dad to dig into pockets for a child he doesn’t even know or live near?
Im in two minds- 1) we’ll be able to afford college for my stepdaughter especially if we have no mortgage to pay, but I’ll never be able to help her with a house unless I get a better job. I know I’m thinking many years into the future but I am worrying about it.
Am I the asshole for not asking my dad ‘what about stepdaughter?’ Do I leave it be or bite the bullet and thank him for his generosity but tell him it’s unfair to both kids if only 1 benefits and 1 doesn’t?
