This one is pretty long and has updates in multiple subreddits. I did some minor editing for clarity.

OOP is u/paperweightfairy

MOOD: >!blood-boiling entitlement and toxic family, but with a happy ending!<

This story was deemed fake by some, but I didn't get that vibe honestly, so I thought I would share it. OOP hasn't posted anything in a couple of years by now.

I'm NOT OP!

Edited to add: I had missed the second update and I have now added it to the post, thanks to the redditor who pointed it out to me.

OOP first posted in AITA and relationship_advice (both posts removed).

My fiancee and i have been together for 8 years and engaged for 3 .So what we did is book our dream venue 3 years in advance. it is really a beautiful venue. the only slot we got was September of this year.

My sister got engaged a few months ago to her fiancee. They were planing on having a spring wedding next year . My sister got pregnant . I was really exited to be an aunt.Yesterday our parents invited us and our SO`s to a family bbq, where my sister announced to our extended families that she is expecting . Everyone was so happy for her and my BIL ( who is a great guy).My Nan asked my sister of the wedding was still on the set date or if they were going to wait, because the baby will still be very very young at the set date. She said no that she hoped to move it to September.NBD.

Nan was happy and asked sister if she needed help planing such a short notice wedding . My sister then turns around and said"Thats what i wanted to talk to you about. I was really really hoping we could kinda like take your venue ? I really can not stress myself too much with planing a wedding while going to maternity classes. And i think it is so beautiful! It would really mean a lot to me".it went silent. But everyone was looking at me expecting me to say "yes of course everything for my little sister !"My BIL looked very uncomfortable and told her that they had talked about this and that it was not okay to put me on the spot . But my sister just said " Don`t be like that! My sister wants to do whats best for me so its no big deal right?"I just said " well it kind of is. I don't know . I have my heart really set on the venue"

Que the crying. She stormed off and my N

> LEATHERFACE MASKS

Before we dive into the fun stuff, we want to address a serious topic.

For those who may not know, The Cannibal can unlock the faces of the four original Survivors by sacrificing them 25 times.

Members of the community have shared their experiences with people targeting and harassing them while using some of these masks. These reports were disheartening to hear, and we absolutely condemn this behaviour. We are not comfortable having these masks in the game when they are used as a tool to spread hate. To that end, we will be removing The Cannibal’s unlockable faces in this upcoming Mid-Chapter.

Anyone who has ever played The Cannibal by the release of the Mid-Chapter update will be awarded 6,000 Iridescent Shards to compensate for their removal.

We will not tolerate hateful activity and will continue to take every step necessary to protect the community.

> GRADE REWARDS REVISITED

A few months back, ranks became grades and we introduced rewards based on how far you manage to climb each month. Currently, the rewards range up to 250,000 Bloodpoints.

We’ve been tracking grade resets in the months since to see not only how far everyone manages to get in a month, but also how many matches it took to get there. The current reward for your efforts doesn’t seem very fitting, so we will be increasing the grade rewards starting with the January 13th season, with the new rewards first going out on February 13th.

We’re in the process of finalizing the exact rewards, but we’ll keep you posted once they are decided. (Rest assured, they will indeed be higher than before.)

> ADD-ON UPDATES

In our last Mid-Chapter, we made some tweaks to a bunch of different add-ons. We were thrilled to see such a positive reaction, so we’ve decided to make it a tradition. We hope to make add-on tweaks like these a more regular part of our updates in the future.

Please keep in mind that just because you don’t see a particular add-on on the list below doesn’t mean it’s not on our radar. We’ll rapid fire through the add-ons we’ll be adjusting this time:

Carburetor Tuning Guide: Redu

I am a single mom. My ex is barely in the picture due to drug use. He was in our child's life for most of her life but not supportive. He was mostly a Disneyland Dad. He showered her with gifts and told her this is what love is.

My daughter and I just moved out of a bad neighborhood. I paid a lot to relocate us and keep her in the same school district for her last year of school. Real estate prices have skyrocketed and this home plus moving costs ate away at all my savings.

She doesn't seem to appreciate it. I could have moved into another small apartment and sent her to her dad's but I don't think that is safe for her. Instead of being grateful that I am here to support her, she has yelled at me every day. She is on my case about how she wants her friends over asap and needs a key made. She demands I "hurry up and unpack" so that the house "looks neat" so she can have people over. I am working full time and stressed to the max.

She hasn't unpacked her room. Instead, she takes 1-2 hour long showers every day after school where she hogs the entire bathroom. I have had to go to the bathroom in the basement (in a drain) to avoid her anger. She locks herself inside and screams at me if I interrupt her. She has hit me. She gives herself full spa treatments with face masks every day, paints her nails, and tells me "I deserve this".

This morning (It is 6am), I can't get ready for work because she is in there again putting on pounds of makeup for school. Something she could easily do in her room. I can't shower or ask to shower or she will scream. It sets the mood for my entire day at work when she rages at me at 6am.

I was told I need to flush the toilet and if I forget (I blew my nose once and threw one piece of TP in there) she will be telling me about it. And she does.

She turns the furnace up to 70 while I am away. My bills are out of control. When we went grocery shopping the other day, she demanded makeup and body wash and threw a tantrum when I said no. I feel like I am dealing with a 5 year old.

I am not to touch ANY of her food. She demands a specific brand of pizza and special cereal. I am lactose intolerant with a gluten allergy. Last night, I ate gluten free cereal and was scolded because she said "this sure does look like my cereal in the bowl!"

I am just fed up and exhausted. She is 17. I am actually looking for the legal process on eviction for when she turns 18 because I have tried to have a heartfelt conversation with her and she tells me

I know the title sounds completely ridiculous, but please read through before commenting. Names changed for the story, tl;dr at the bottom.

Background: I (M26) moved in with my boyfriend ('Gary' M27) about 5 months ago, and things have mostly been going well. He has a daughter from a previous relationship (we'll call her 'Sally') who seemed sweet and playful like any other kid that age.

When we planned for me to move in, we discussed incomes and decided that I would quit my dead-end job and be the stay-at-home so that he could accept a director position offered to him (which required more hours but paid amazingly). Neither of us had an issue with this arrangement.

I've worked with kids before and have been a go-to babysitter for my cousins, so I'm aware of normal misbehaviors and how to best handle them. I also started setting aside a few hours every Sunday to do something fun with Sallly (blanket fort party, bake cookies, hang out at the park, etc.) to help with bonding, and Gary participates if he isn't scheduled to work.

The problem: Ever since Gary started with his new work schedule and it's just been Sally and I at home, she's been downright cruel to me. I'm not talking about saying 'I hate you' while in the throes of a tantrum from time to time like kids do; Sally says seemingly the most hurtful things she can think of to me at random throughout the day without provocation or anger in her voice.

For example, when she got home from school last week she looked me in the eyes and told me, "I had a great day because you weren't there" with a small smile and a snotty tone reminiscent of a stereotypical high school mean girl. She took a break from her TV show this morning to tell me that she wishes I'd leave and never come back, with completely neutral tone in her voice.

I have tried explaining to her that it's hurtful to me when she says things like that, and tried having a conversation to find out why she says these things, and all I could get from her is "That's how I'm supposed to talk to you." No further explanation.

Gary's main punishment when she misbehaves is to send her for a timeout in the corner, then process the event with her after ("Why were you in the corner?" "What could you do instead?" etc.). When I first told him about what she says to me (through text because he was at work), he just told me to send her to the corner when she says stuff like that. I've tried, and seen no change in the frequency of her hurtful remarks.

When Gar

I’ll preface this by saying my dad isn’t straight up Qanon, I.E. hasn’t went full “microchips in the vaccine” or anything My dad is a smart man, which makes me all the more disappointed that he’s buying into vaccine conspiracy garbage. He hates Trump, rags on Facebook and the negative effects of social media all the time, and yet when it comes to vaccines has been giving the most bottom of the barrel takes.

Last night over dinner I brought up that I scheduled my booster shot because I need one to return to college. My dad then asks if I’m sure it’s required. I tell him yes, unless you have some sort of medical exemption. He then tells me I should look into getting one because “people are dying from this shit (boosters)”. He then sites that he heard the recent deaths of Sidney Porter, Betty White, and Bob Saget were cause by the booster shot. I kinda didn’t know what to say because I know if I asked him where he got that information he would probably get mad at me, but my younger brother who was also at the dinner table, and really not willing to put up with this shit, blurts out “where did you read that” in a rather abrasive tone. My dad then yells at him for getting “hot” with him and talks over brother trying to ask where he got this information from. The whole dinner just fell silent after that.

I’m just so sick of my dad wasting his smarts on anti-vax conspiracy, and I am worried about how easily he gets convinced by them. This is just one of dozens of times that he’s had a huge tantrum because of COVID stuff. He once embarrassed me in a store because we were bringing rice to a food shelter and the store had a limit on how much one person could take because of food shortages (this was near the very beginning of the pandemic). He then rages at the manager, drawing everyone in the stores attention to us until the manager turns to me, says “you seem like the reasonable one here” and in a very kind manner hands me a business card in case I would like to contact the store later.

He also says he’s gotten some note from his doctor exempting him from wearing a mask due to “breathing problems”. No one in our family was aware that he had any sort of breathing problem so we asked him about it, to where he got super aggressive and said he didn’t have to tell us because it was only between him and his doctor.

I truly love and believe my dad is a good man, but since the beginning of the pandemic he’s been trying my patience with anti-vaccine/mask sentiment. Aga

***

Sheloran sighed happily as she wandered the rows and rows of weapons in The Paper Tiger’s “toy room”.

There were just so many choices! How could she settle on just one (or two or three…)

There was a quiet “pssht” as Gloria popped open a beer.

“You’re making a mess, you know,” she said as Sheloran pulled out another weapon, a Juon cyclone assault blaster, and put it over against the wall with the others.

Gloria smiled.

“I know,” Sheloran sighed absently as she toyed with the shoulder strap of her bib-overall skirt, one of her new dresses and rapidly becoming her favorite. “I just can’t decide what to start on first.”

“You might want to move a bit quicker,” Gloria replied. “We’re hitting MAGA this afternoon. Just pick something for fuck’s sake. You can always make something nicer later.”

“But I’m leaving once we reach MAGA.”

“Yeah, but do you have to do it right away?” Gloria asked as she walked up with a bag of Martian crispy crickets. “There’s no rule that you have to split on day one. We’re going to be there for a bit.”

“I know,” Sheloran said as she reached into the bag. “but I really need to… ooooh...”

Her voice trailed off as she saw an old beat up long arm of some sort.

She pulled it from a box of “trash”.

“What’s this?” Sheloran purred.

“You have a good eye,” Gloria smiled as she raised her scanner/camera, ”That is an Old Earth Norinco Jian Mark Eight, one of the better old supercap gauss weapons.”

Sheloran’s eyes glazed as she gently stroked the side of the ancient weapon.

“We found it during a little treasure hunt back in the day,” Gloria said. “Too bad the cap is shot. We thought we got our hands on a small fortune there for a second, not that we would ever sell one of those. You can’t get them for love or money these days.”

The weapon seemed to disassemble itself under Sheloran’s finger pads.

Sheloran reached for the damaged supercap.

“Careful with that,” Gloria smiled, “It’s ‘dead’ but there could still be enough fuck you up in there to ruin your day.”

“Where did bavnee like you get your hands on these?” Sheloran purred, her eyes now solid black.

Gloria smiled. It looked like the real Sheloran popped up. She had been waiting for this.

“Oh we used to make them,” Gloria shrugged, “Before Yellowstone I

This happened on the year my sister was turning 9. Typically my parents (Mainly my dad) took us to that arcade place with the tickets and prizes. And it was generally fun for us both. Lots of pizza, cake, games, fun, ETC.

Well my sister seemed to have learned her lesson about not playing any big ticket games. So she made sure she had plenty of tickets to get something good. I mainly played the games that paid out tickets the most. So I always had more. But I still wasn't required to share any of my tickets, and my sister and mother knew that. At one point I scored big on a game that felt like I'd won big on a slot machine and it was practically spewing out tickets. My sister was nearby and saw this. And then she ran away. I didn't really care. I knew she'd find any reason to be upset at me.

Well I was looking around trying to decide what game to play next when Evil Mamabear suddenly grabbed me from behind and started dragging me away. But I broke free of her and asked what the heck she was doing. She didn't have the chance to answer before my dad came out of nowhere and also asked what EMB was doing. She looked like a villain that had just been caught in their first attempt to do something nasty. She took a moment to act shocked and then crossed her arms while glaring at me. She said that my sister had complained that I was rubbing my success at the games in her face. My dad immediately called that out as untrue because he'd been secretly keeping an eye on us both and knew for a fact that I did no such thing. EMB gave a shocked Pikachu face for a second before going back to looking angry.

She was about to speak up again when dad cut her off and said he'd been secretly following us around because he figured my sister or EMB would have tried to find a way to blame me for something. And he was exactly right. EMB then growled and actually said that I looked like I was having too much fun on my sister's birthday. And should tone it down. Dad shook his head and said that my sister got all the fun she wanted on any of my birthdays there. And this was just because Sis was upset I won big in a game and went crying and lying to EMB. I'd done nothing wrong, and EMB couldn't make me wrong.

EMB looked pissed and said "Are you calling my baby a liar!?". Which was what she often did when my sister was lying and my dad knew it. So dad openly said "I know she lied. Kragle has done nothing but leave her alone. And he didn't rub anything in her face.". EMB CBF'd like she

I appeared in an empty room, dazed. It was the bottom floor alright. The aesthetic resembled the first area, but a little darker with some obsidian and red banners mixed in. Welcome to hell. I looked at Coppernose.

“Well, here we are. I’d best get moving. You know what to do.”

“Hey, wait!” she interjected. “This place reeks of springs! No way am I leaving you to this alone!”

I bobbed my head. “I appreciate the help, but won’t that hurt the evacuation timeline?”

Coppernose huffed. “Come on. You already talked it out with Ettrel. Everything is set! You’re worth spending some time and effort with.”

“Aww, that’s cute.”

……

As it turns out, Coppernose is a lifesaver. Not only is floor 50 rife with traps, but many of them are beyond my skill set! Despite the part where she licks everything, she was the perfect backup. She sussed out basically every trap over time, which we had to do because a bunch of them were motion-activated, removing her ability to fly past them with the UFO.

And we really had to just explore SO much space. Why you might wonder? Well, the boss door was a hallway over from where we started… but it was made of pure sterlite. That stuff is almost good enough to qualify as adamantium. NOT. MELTABLE. We were stuck with searching for the key after Coppernose almost lost an arm in the locking mechanism.

So we went step by step. She found the tiles that could move, then I either marked them with chalk or super glued them in place. Simple as hell, and never boring cuz you don’t know when something might go off. After about an hour and a half of slowly progressing through the area, we found the conspicuous miniboss door. It wasn’t locked, so I worked the latch.

The all-too-familiar mechanism inside started up, then stopped and started beeping slowly. Coppernose looked through the keyhole.

“Ohhh, it needs to be loaded. Give me a minute, and don’t touch anything until I’m back.”

She zipped off and, for once, I actually touched nothing when told to do so. A few minutes later and there was a zap, ending the beeping. I waited a bit longer until Coppernose returned, the

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

##national money transfer system is being established in Armenia

Central Bank will implement the "STAK Money Transfer" system within a few months.

The goal is to make domestic and international payments without opening a bank account. In the future, the system will allow transfers to a bank account or e-wallet.

CB rep.: STAK will allow you to receive any transfer in any bank. All Armenian banks, the ArCa system, and other transfer systems will be connected to the system. STAK will connect to similar "subsystems" of other countries, including Russia's Rapid Payment System.

##Armenia plans to reform clinics, ICUs, and children's medical services

Healthcare Ministry's Maternal Dept.: a taskforce was formed to begin the process. The first is outpatient services. We need to modernize the facilities and retrain specialists. This will improve the service quality and reduce the load on hospitals.

Institutions providing pediatric medical services get overloaded because of flu and other viruses. People usually rush to hospitals instead of clinics. There are days when only 15% of hospital patients end up needing hospitalization.

Besides modernizing equipment and skills, clinics should have specific standards. Their role should be preventative care and organizing home treatment in case of mild illnesses.

The financial model will change. The funding hasn't been reduced but there will be internal redistribution to prioritize funding for heavier cases.

The quality of ICU care will improve. We have a series of problems in the provinces. Outside Yerevan, only Gyumri has large ICU facilities with lots of equipment and specialists. //

Just like with many other animated shows RWBY contains a quite eclectic group of characters that participate in its story. Be they antagonist or antagonists. From the very start of the show, and of course with the title in mind it has always been quite clear that team RWBY were the main protagonists of the show. Accordingly, we the audience have followed their adventures throughout the volumes. One would imagine that with the team RWBY status as protagonists that they would be well beloved and liked by most people? While that has certainly been true to an extent at the beggining of the series, over time and especially in the most recent volumes, the discontent and general dislike of the characters that make up team RWBY has been increasing.

We have even gotten to the point that some people are calling out our protagonists as being outright villainous, and while i myself do not fully subscribe to such opinions their presence now points out potential problems in the protagonists of the show, especially since this has been a mostly recent occurance.

With this, and any following posts i want to explore and explain some of the reasons as to why the protagonists (And maybe some other additional characters) are disliked. Starting with the leader of team RWBY, the titular character herself, Ruby.

Childishness

Whenever the character of RWBY is brought up in the context of fanfictions it is quite often remarked how childish the writters of fanfictions make her. Many of them make her act like a 10-12 year old with some slight deviations, which is a fair complaint. I think that many people do not realize that this kind of view does not come out of nowhere. The show itself sets it up and continues on with it.

Now to preempt some complaints, i am not saying that the show infantilizes RWBY as much as fanfictions do, it does not. In fact, in a good ammount of cases Ruby is shown to be more mature than she appears at first look. One of the first examples of this is of course in V1 where it is revealed that despite having a "naive" dream of saving the world, she is not so naive as to believe that she will just fix everything.

The problem of course is that she is very much in a limbo between being childish and mature, which would maybe work for an extremelly young character, but she is for the most part near adult age for most of the series. Her comments about milk, the clingyness to Crow and the like, these are all things that at the age that she is said to be are,

Okay, this is petty, but this is a reoccurring argument and I need some context.

I (26f) and my husband (31m) enjoy tik tok, even though we’re probably too old for it. We have different tastes in humor - I love comedic bits, for example, while for him they read too fake. We both enjoy funny cat videos. We often save a few we find that we think the other might like to share them.

Keep in mind all these videos are at most 2-3 mins long.

I saved one I thought was funny - it was a construction site with a machine that got out of control and was spinning while a bunch of folks tried and failed to stop it in different ways. Stupid easy “oh shit” type humor, which is normally something he enjoys. I ask if I can show him after he shows me a video he saved, he says sure, we start watching.

First half of the video he’s chuckling, but the last 20s are repetitive and he suddenly stops me, says in a very irritated tone “I don’t want to watch this, it’s not funny. This is just the same thing, why would you show it to me, I don’t want to see this. Stop forcing me to watch this.”

He does respond with more anger than he means to sometimes, and it’s a tik tok so I’m not going to throw a fit over such a small bit of attitude. However, when I take the phone back, I sigh. It wasn’t an intentional sigh, I just felt a bit put out by his response.

He starts telling me I’m forcing him to watch these things and throwing a tantrum when he doesn’t, so he’s going to just ignore me and put his headset on for the rest of the day because he doesn’t want to hear me sighing.

I stop him, say something like “whoa, don’t do that, I didn’t even say anything” and he tells me my sigh was enough, and he’ll just leave then. He goes to stand up and walk out, I grab his arm and ask him what the heck is happening - why is he so mad? Because I sighed? I tell him that feels like I don’t get to have any emotion - I wasn’t in control of the sigh, but I didn’t say anything or confront him in any way. Do I just not get to feel put out? How was I supposed to have prevented his irritation in this situation?

He continues to be irritated but agrees to just stop talking about it and move on. He’s visibly irrated with me for a few more hours, and we do talk about it a bit but with no further compromise on either side.

Who’s right, Reddit? Am I the AH for being irritated and sighing at his initial comment (I would have preferred he just nicely tell me he doesn’t want to see anymore), or was I overrea

My DH and I have been together for 8 years, married 5. We are 53 and this is a 2nd marriage, we are empty nesters. Kids are mid to late 20’s and on their own. We don’t enable our kids and we spend our money the way we want. I believe my kids resent that as my ex pays for a lot in their current lives. Whatever, you do you.

My DH and I have similar backgrounds. Our parents were strong willed and controlling in a way. We ended up marrying individuals that controlled us. His ex was manipulative and when she got mad, she would throw away items that were special to him. My ex controlled by passive-aggressive behavior. He would give me the 3-4 day silent treatment. We were both married to these people for 20-23 years.

Our current marriage is very relaxed. We have both come out of our shells and have really found ourselves; thus, we don’t tolerate certain behaviors. We have systematically cut out family members that treat us poorly. If the person is from his family, they blame me, and vice versa. The ironic thing is that we are our true selves that no one has really met or known. They only know the past person who accepted their poor treatment and when we call out their bad behavior, we are the Asshole! One can understand that we are becoming the black sheep.

Now to the current problem. I’ve cut out my mother because she favors and supports my sister’s treatment of me and subsequent cutting me out of her life. Sister told me if I got a divorce, she wouldn’t allow me to be around her family. I would be just like dad and she never wanted to see me again. To this day, 10 years later, I’ve seen her twice. This is fine, I forgive them both and feel that they should be happy in their lives, just leave me out of their drama. My father is another story. He lives about a 7 hr drive from me. We try to drive down to visit at least 1 to 2 times a year. My father and his wife don’t come visit us. Dad doesn’t like to fly and they have a lot of pets which makes it hard to find pet sitters.

This year, my DH and I moved to a new house. No one asked about the house, so whatever, life goes on. When we drove down this week, dad’s wife told me that they flew up to visit my sister’s side for a wedding. I was confused as to why they didn’t call or come by. My DH and I were talking to dad on the 2nd to last night of our visit. Conversation was going very well and we were laughing and joking around. Dad brought up the wedding. We asked him why he didn’t contact us as we would’ve l

I'm 45 and my father passed away Aug, 2021. He was abusive and an enabler . Sad thing was I grew up as a daddy's girl. I know his abuse was wrong but I was taught that abuse was those kids who's parents beat them daily or tied to them up or .. whatever that was really extreme and made the news. My abuse was more subtle to not so subtle but it was still abuse.

My mother I fully believe is a NMom. I get the impression with my parents that they feel that I'm their property somehow . I owe them and respecting them means they can be hateful , abusive and whatever towards me and I should still love them and come back to them, grateful for my life.

Before my father passed away, my mother talked to me about whether I would continue being distant with her. So we talked . Or rather she talked and I tried to get a few words in but I did decide to give it a go.

Honestly it was a disaster from the get go but I tried to work through it. My father passed and I handled EVERYTHING about the funeral, paperwork , military stuff , family etc.

Things were okay with my mother . I tried to do whatever I could to be the good daughter. I also swallowed several little jabs towards me in this process.

"It's not like you can walk"

"So and So has been like a daughter to me. She has been so good to me. I think I'm going to adopt her. Wouldn't you like an older sister?"

To my father's corpse but in ear shot of me

"Please forgive OP, she doesn't mean to be the way she is."

On and on. but I finally decided to say something when she told me how she thinks I'm "a little brain washed". My protest of "hey why do you say that about me? That's not fair". Resulted in her throwing a tantrum in a restaurant. Claiming I "blessed her out". Refusing to return home with us and calling a friend or hers. Telling me how she's cutting me out of her life. That I don't understand because I'm not a parent ( another jab in a way because I've struggled with infertility over the years ).

I had paper work for my dad's 401K which I was helping her with and she wanted me to mail it back to her so she leaves a message on my phone where she calls herself by her full name vs. "mom" and my dad's full name instead of "dad". Which she never does.

I don't get back to her fast enough she she leaves me another message accusing me of trying to steal my father's money, telling me I'm like an 18 year old etc. I stopped listening.

Hi, don’t use this anywhere. I have created a little compilation of weird and inappropriate things my JNMIL (some from JNSIL too) has done over the years. Hopefully this can be somewhat entertaining and make light of what were/are extremely irritating things to think back about! My last post on JNMIL is in my history so I tried not to duplicate anything.

JNMIL created a 2 week color coded itinerary for Christmas time a few years ago full of events and dinners she expected us to attend while JNSIL (GC) would be in town.

When my DH and I were engaged or newly married I can’t remember, we went over for lunch one day and in the kitchen JNMIL rubbed my stomach and whispered that she hopes I’m fertile.

Knowing what I know now and not giving a single F anymore, this is the moment I would go back to and put a stop to her JN behavior/cut contact once and for all. We were planning my bridal shower and JNMIL was trying to invite a bunch of her friends that I’ve never met before. I told her I wasn’t comfortable with that, wanted to keep it small, and said I didn’t even know them. She looked at me with the smuggest smile and said “well they know you” in such a bitchy tone like she was just going to invite them anyway and ignore my wishes. She did this in front of DH and JNFIL and I had DH stop her but she would have bulldozed me otherwise.

JNSIL used my deodorant at my wedding and then lied about it when I confronted her. During our wedding dinner she asked me to use it and I said no but then later I noticed it wasn’t in the same spot I left it. My friends told me that she took my purse and used it anyway and they found out when she was putting it back!

We went out for GMIL 90 birthday dinner and JNMIL wanted a family picture at the restaurant. JNSIL (~35f) threw the biggest tantrum and refused to take the picture. The poor waitress was standing on a chair with the cell phone to get a better angle to make JNSIL happier and she still wouldn’t cooperate.

Another time out at dinner, we all ordered and JNSIL made a scene about only paying for herself, BIL, JNFIL and JNMIL, excluding DH and myself. That part is fine, we can take care of ourselves but the way she said it was so rude and aggressive. We never asked her to pay for us and we weren’t fighting or anything so it was weird. At one point, her husband wanted us to try these fries he had ordered and she literally pulled the tray in front of herself and wouldn’t let us! Her behavior was just really bizarre and

The return to the complex was a bit surreal. Elera had been sending messages back and forth with Investigator Chel’xa pretty much the entire time they were on the road, which was odd in a few ways. The fact that the Agent was still at the facility was weird in itself. That she was taking an active role in the situation at all was another. It was a bit under her pay grade.

When Elera finally made it back, she took a moment to look at the pretty blue car parked in front of the hotel. There was no way she would be able to fit in the thing. In fact, it looked like a toy, like a practice car you get for a small child to drive around the yard in. Not what she would have spent twenty thousand credits on, but it wasn’t her money and, as Agent Chel’xa had mentioned in the morning during the security shake-up, Stace wasn’t her responsibility anymore. At least not legally.

She made it to Stace’s apartment just as Askel was leading Jessica out.

“Stace was looking pretty worn out. Mind checking on him while I show Jessica her room?”

“Of course not.” Elera gave Jessica a smile and a nod before slipping through the open door. Ayen was there, rubbing Stace’s shoulders as he slumped in his chair. The human wasn’t asleep, but he did look drained. Ayen glanced up as she came in.

“Stace, Elera’s here. It’s alright.” A shaky right hand came up and offered a thumbs up, but other than that he didn’t seem to be moving much.

“What happened?” Elera took the few steps to the wheelchair in fast bounds and her hands were on his face, gently massaging his cheeks and scratching his beard.

“Just… just worn out. Tiring couple days.”

“You know that thing he does where he hyper focuses and handles a situation, then crashes immediately after? It was that. He was doing great but as soon Askel came in to take care of Jessica he slumped over.” Ayen let go of Stace’s shoulders and grabbed the back of the wheelchair. “I think it’s time for bed.”

“I…” Stace yawned. “I need to talk to both of you. It’s important.”

“It can wait until after some rest,” Elera said gently.

“I don’t think it can.” That was concerning. Ayen and Elera locked eyes, but th

Before you crucify me, let me just say I am not Australian so maybe the culture is different there and I'm missing something as to why everyone online seems to be up Aaron's butt.

To get into it, I watched the episodes of the fight between Aaron and Jess, the aftermath, him "leaving", him staying, the new girls coming in, all last night. I have not finished the season yet so please no spoilers beyond this point.

I have never seen a fight seem so clear cut in my life and I am honestly shook at how opposite most of the online population seems to be.

Here's my take:

1.) Jess says Aaron gave her a disgusted look when her boob popped out of her shirt, and it caused her to experience an upheaval of negative emotions.

- This is a totally valid response to being given a dirty look by your partner in that scenario. If he truly did give her a dirty look, whether he intended to or not is irrelevant. It shows that his instinctual response is to judge her instead of empathize with and protect her. She is right to be open with him and tell him that is hurtful, she advocated for herself and was open to telling him with the intention that they could work through it.

2.) Aaron insists the look did not happen and is defensive throughout the entire ordeal, every time they speak about the issue. He immediately blames Jess for creating drama "out of nothing" and continues to be defensive and blame her in literally every single statement he makes.

- Whether it happened or not is completely irrelevant to me. If Jess perceived this as happening and it didn't, all Aaron has to do is reassure her that he would never think of her that way and that of course he cares about her feelings. He could have quite easily explained his face may have come off disgusted but he really just didn't know what to do, stress of the moment, and apologize. It literally would have been that simple and finished.

- However, we later find out: after Aaron adamantly denied it happened over and over again to Jess, he admits to the boys in private that he did make a face. He does not attribute it to being a look of disgust, but he does acknowledge more with them than he did with her.

3.) He does not give her a chance to speak without interrupting. He does nothing to monitor his tone or empathize with her. All he wants is for the discussion to stop but does not care to do the work it actually takes for the fight to be resolved. He insists he has "tried to see her side of things" but we the au

I have a boy of 19 months. Occasionally he wants to play with a certain item or in a certain place and I don't think he should, so I will take him away or take the item away. He will often cry. I will offer him something else instead (another toy/place/food/hug). Sometimes he rejects everything else and keeps crying.

I think this can reasonably be called a tantrum.

When he keeps crying for a particular thing that I don't think he should have, and I've tried some alternatives, I will try to let him cry it out. I'll make sure he won't hurt himself by thrashing around. Then I will stand nearby and occasionally say "come to Dad", in an attempt to let him know that he can come and be comforted whenever he wants. I might also say (in a compassionate tone) things like: "Yes, you're angry. It's not easy to be angry. But it's OK."

Is this a reasonable approach?

My wife does not like it and prefers to keep trying to distract him from the thing that is making him upset. I think it's better to teach him to get over it on his own when he has tantrums.

Thanks in advance!

The doctor says it terminal.

I'm rewatching SS, only up to episode 3. It's been super interesting to watch the dynamics between the ladies early on, particularly knowing how they'll be in 4 seasons.

Christine is pretty clear about not liking Heather:

>I don't like Heather as a person and I get annoyed by Heather all the time. It's just because of the way she looks and because of the way she dresses, because of the way she speaks, it's because of the lack of wheels turning up there. (3:30 S1E2)

>Brett wants Heather to stay in LA just because he wants her to make money for the brokerage. I don't know why though, she's basic, but whatever. (24:20 S1E2)

Then at the party that evening, Brett is having a go at Heather for her long distance boyfriend, Heather's annoyed at Brett for suggesting she needs Brett's approval. Christine backs up Heather and says,

>..."That's not fair Brett, I don't think so." I don't like you [to Heather], but I don't have to be your friend to like, see what's going on and realize that's not fair.
>
>Heather: You're not my friend?
>
>Christine: I mean, not yet bitch, but...
>
>Heather: what?? Excuse me, I did nothing to you.

Then, when Heather confronts Christine about this, Christine makes up a story about Heather trying to poach a client from Christine and how that was super unprofessional. Christine has always been lying. Instead of just saying something like "look, Heather, I just don't feel like we've ever clicked. You're nice enough, a nice person and I'm happy to work with you, but I don't feel we'll ever be close friends. I'm sorry I made that remark, it was unnecessary and hurtful." Instead, she makes up this story to deflect her feelings and make it Heather's fault that they're not friends. It's Christine's fault that her and Heather aren't friends. But also, it's ok to not be friends with everyone you work with. Christine had already made it clear in the first 4 minutes of the episode that she just doesn't like Heather. Don't make up a story to justify that dislike.

Later on in the episode, Christine and Mary are talking about the argument at the party, Christine frames the entire discussion as such:

>I thought we were having a really good time, and um, I got some tension from Heather. We were fighting with each other. We were talking about a client that had approached me and told em that Heather was trying to poach him. And I told her, I said "That's really unprofessional, and I think poorly of y

The Arrival at Iseon (Scritchesverse)

Part 2

----- Sergeant Miller -----

Security Officer (formerly Sergeant of Marines) David Miller found another good tree and tagged the exact location on the trunk for the next perimeter sensor, before slinking off into the underbrush again. After a few meters, he stepped into the lee of an exposed tree root nearly two meters tall and over a meter thick, and surveyed the immediate approach to his position while he checked in on the lieutenant’s security feeds.

Where the actual hell did she get milspec combat droids? He wondered as he checked the live feeds. Did she have a permit for them? Did she need one? He didn’t know, but intended to find out. Sure, they were older, surplus models, and spec’d to gardenworld military standards, but there were four of them, and they had surveillance radar and could post perimeter sensors according to a radio frequency tag, saving him precious minutes.

And every minute counted. Damn those oblivious researchers. Dr. Trrbin, the Svikkthian researcher at the head of the entire operation, had aligned each day’s landing zone and time to coincide with shipboard day cycles, arguing that doing so would maximize the field team’s effective working time with minimal risk of adversely triggering any of the team’s species-specific circadian rhythms. Never mind that this planet’s day was 30 hours. He already had the ground team setting up meteorological and environmental monitoring equipment near the shuttle, hoping to start passive recording by midday, and have a ground camp set up before dusk. The idiot even wanted to sleep dirtside, and had convinced the captain to grant the go-ahead, in spite of vehement protests from both Miller and Sydni.

They had been on the ground less than thirty minutes, and Dave had already startled six crepuscular predators investigating the commotion. At less than a meter long and barely half a meter tall, the small reptilians were likely ovivorous, and not much of a threat. Sydni and the combat droids could deal with them easily, and any scratches they caused would likely not be life-threatening, even to a gardenworlder. Dr. Trrbin found Miller’s report on them to be more exciting than concerning, and had asked for both a live and dead specimen to be collect

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Sorry this is turning out to be really long, I just need to get my thoughts out and want ideas.

I am a stay at home mom to 3 wonderful amazing kids, but I am failing as a mom. I feel so bogged down with overwhelming feelings about the messy house, piles of laundry and dishes, toys everywhere, tantrums, picky eaters, complaining from my kids and husband, being just tired, anxious about literally everything, etc…. That I feel depressed, irritable, and like I am just barely keeping my head above water.

Needless to say that my emotions and composure set the tone for the rest of the house and I feel like I am ruining the lives of my kids and husband. I know I need to change and get a better handle on things, but I am really struggling. It does not help that I have pretty severe ADHD that is seeming to get worse the older I get for some reason.

I just don’t want my kids to look back at their childhoods and only remember me being frustrated, rushing through life just trying to get places on time, feeling constant stress, and yelling just to get things done. I feel like I don’t even remember how to play and am always trying to get them to play with each other or by themselves because I worry that I will get frustrated or I have so many other chores to do.

I feel awful and I want to try to revamp my whole life. I want to make our lives more fun! I remember when I was a young adult and how I always was told that I was fun to be around and that everyone always had more fun when I was around, I miss who I was and somewhere as a wife and mother I completely lost myself.

So at the beginning of the year, I declared 2022 the year of fun. I want to make at least one good memory for my kids each day. It’s not even the end of January and I am already failing. We had some medical issues that dominated our lives this month and I immediately fell into bad habits.

So what are ways that I can help control my feelings of irritation and how can I add more fun to the everyday routines in our lives?

Some ideas that I am tossing around in my mind are:

• keeping myself accountable by maybe making a poster where we track something fun everyday. Maybe blow up a monthly calendar and tape it in the hallway and each night writing one fun thing we did that day. Any other ideas?

• getting a shower speaker and trying to make bath time exciting and fun with dancing and music. Maybe even buying an Alexa or something so we can play fun music and try to dance and play while we do cho

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

The past as far back as the blitz and Elizabeth's military service.... whether you like them or not, they endeared themselves to ppl during this era..

We've been in a similar crisis for 2 years....and I think the future will find Will and Kate being seen as having pulled their weight so that ppl will be bonded to them...

But what of Haz with or without Meghan.... this prolonged tone deaf tantrum from .0000001% privileged brat.... this is what he chose to do during a national and global crisis..... exactly how is "service ..universal" unless they mean for the universe to stop and serve them despite there being 1000 more important things...

It seems so obvious and I can't imagine no one has brought it up...

This is my first post so idk if I'm doing it right lol

I have some interesting relatives... They have always been causing problems. So for context: on Thanksgiving (I live in the U.S. so we celebrate it normally) my family on my mother's side goes to celebrate at my aunt's house. My aunt (Jamie) is the nicest person ever, And the complete opposite of my EU (Entitled uncle).

We usually go over to her house for Thanksgiving. Last November, we were settling in our seats, and my nice uncle sits next to my EU's child. She was the sweetest, and was NOT a entitled brat (she's a toddler btw). My other aunt, Jane, just wanting to sit next to my uncle asks my cousin if she could move down a seat with her dad. Before my cousin could respond, EU snaps.

"NO, THIS IS HER SEAT. SHE PICKED IT OUT, AND SHES GOING TO SIT WHERE SHE WANTS." EU said

"Well, could you just move down a seat? There isn't another seat by my husband-" my aunt gets cut off by my screaming and yelling uncle. She tried to be nice but is now really nervous.

Once EU was supposedly done, he stormed out Jamie's door in a screaming fit. He included a bunch of cuss words before exiting. He is the WORST and SO annoying. God!

When we asked my cousin if she could move spots, she just nodded and smiled. Her response was wayyy different than her dad.

When EU comes back from his tantrum, he doesn't even notice a thing. He sits in the seat next to his daughter, not suspecting a thing. A few moments later, my aunt apologizes to EU. He decided it was a good idea to keep yelling in her face saying stuff like:

"YEAH, YOU SHOULD BE." In an annoying tone or

"I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE." He was trying to guilt my aunt into... Something?

At the time, I didn't know the full story. So I only experienced the part where EU was yelling at my aunt. I thought my aunt had done something terrible, but then I realized who my aunt and uncle was.

It was another level of stupid for no reason. EU is just a terrible person in general. I don't know why we still invite him to our family celebrations, he's never going to change.

Some great examples of his terrible attitude is how he talks behind his OWN wife's back! We don't want to be involved with his trash talking and don't want to ruin his family by telling his wife, but we also want to see his stupid, wimpy face if his wife ever confronts him.

Also, he has another kid (Entitled) that is such a jerk to everybody. He causes the same problems as his dad and hates my guts

So a while back I dated a guy I knew since we were kids. We lost touch for years and when e we got in contact again, hit it off. Things are great for the first few months and we both could see a future together. What’s next wasn’t what caused me to end it, but it was on the list and still makes me cringe! So one day after working a long shift I drive over to his house, go inside the living room( I had my own keys) he looked at me and looks at my boobs (due to my cup size any shirt shows them off unless it’s really baggy and long) any how… he smirks at me and lets out this toddler like happy noise. Legit my god kids who are babies and toddlers make this sound. This was followed by him walking like Frankenstein with arms out towards me with his hands making a grabbing motion! Starts making sucking noises followed by him saying in baby talk/tone “mama,mama milky” then continue the sucking noises. I’m backing up away from him towards the kitchen in pure confusion and horror while this 30 year old man is acting like a baby who just learnt to walk! Once he saw me backing up and my face…I kid you not this full grown man there’s himself to the floor screaming and wailing his arms and legs in a total tantrum! I walked out the back door… he did this so often after that it was CRAZY! he tried it once when we were in bed one night, I got dressed and went to drive home, he begged me to stay I agreed If he’d stop…lasted a week and a half before the baby talk/walk….even now, this is all I can think of when I think of him now grosses/creeps me out and STILL makes me cringe lol

NOTE: we had talked about kinks before this and after. This was Not one of his!

So I (28f) have a sister (26f) who got married last month

I’m gonna be blunt my sister has always been one of those people that has to have everything perfect to the point sometimes it was hard to be around her but she was my little sister and I’ve no other siblings so I always made excuses when she’d hurt me when I was doing things right in her eyes. I was kinda nervous when she asked me and my daughter(4) to be bridesmaids in February because I knew she was gonna be a massive bridezilla

Over the last few months we have had to practice multiple dances,pay for very expensive dresses and put up with her tantrums. I told her from the start if she was anyway nasty to my child I wouldn’t stand for it she assured me she’d never be nasty towards her “favourite person in the whole world”

Well her now husbands little cousin(8?) started coming to dance practice with her mom and my sister started to ask her do little things like show my daughter how to throw the petals. I honestly thought she’d make them both flower girls for a while but when she started to make my daughter sit out and have the little girl do her poem I knew what was gonna happen but prayed I was wrong

I invited her out to coffee a few weeks before the wedding and asked her what was going on She told me she was glad I brought it up because she was looking for the right time, Apparently my four year old wasn’t doing everything right and she was afraid she was gonna “mess up Her version” by saying the wrong thing or not doing the dance right on the day. I told her she doing a pretty good job and everyone was always praising her

Sister giggled and said it’s not THEIR day now is it so it’s not up to US what’s good enough for her wedding. I asked her straight up did she think her niece wasn’t good enough to be in her wedding she replied with not as something big as a flower girl but to attend . I asked her how was I gonna break it to my daughter who’s excited about being in the wedding she just told me figure it out.i told her I’d give her a day to rethink her decision if not we wouldn’t attending not speaking to her ever again than left

Well two days went so I couldn’t put it off any longer I broke the news to my child. Even tho I tried my hardest and sugarcoated it as much as possible the news still broke her heart. She cried herself to sleep (so did I and my husband)

Well after a week when I was a no show for anything my sister started to panic and started to get every to talk to me ev

And my mum messages me asking if I still want space.

Her even contacting me threw me in a massive tailspin of emotions, I hate my father and brother (I've made a post before this why I went NC). I stupidly replied yes I was still mad at my father and brother and I got "....and me?"

Bitch yes I'm still mad at you! I'm mad you involved yourself and one my brother and still won't apologise you won't apologise that you gaslit me to my partner who was supporting me, I'm mad that you chose your POS husband who has fucked almost every friendship and relationship he's had because he is a narcissistic fuck wit who has a tantrum everything he doesn't get his way.

It was the same dismissive tone as always but it brought up guilt and that I miss her yet I'm still so angry at her. I hate her but i love her and I know she's stuck in the middle of this but she also made her choice. How does this become easier? My heart and head hurt so much but at the same time I feel so free. I'm so lost

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

“Notice anything different about me?” Looking up at the girl sitting across from me I raised a brow as I put my pencil down and looked at her with a raised brow. The girl in question was my best friend Antonia, Tia to you and me. She’s your typical blond perfect girl. But she is more than a pretty face. She’s caring and loving and loves to help her friends and the less fortunate.

“New earrings?” I asked her sarcastically. Giving her face a good look I honestly could not figure out at all what she was even talking about. I never exactly was much for fashion so it really could have been anything. She could even have gotten a new haircut and I would have had no idea. She was clearly annoyed by it so she started tapping her nose.

“I got a rhinoplasty!” She said with just a little too much excitement. Now I really paid more attention to her as I looked up from my notebook and just stared at her nose. In truth, it didn’t look any different than when I had seen her yesterday. But what was confusing me more was how she did it so quickly.

“Tia you’re joking, right? You would like like a mummy in bandages if you just had a rhinoplasty.” I told her, more than sure that she was pulling my leg. She shook her head and turned so she was in profile shot. Only then did I notice she wasn’t fucking with me. Her nose was smaller just by a little bit. Not noticeable from head-on but you could tell from a profile shot.

“Told ya so.” She said with a hum. Sitting back so she was facing me and positively beaming with delight. I was still staring in disbelief at the fact that somehow my best friend had gotten a rhinoplasty and had had zero recovery time at all. “I’ve been wanting to work on my nose for so long and I finally found the perfect plastic surgeon to do it!” She said excitedly.

“You sure about that? You should be like…recovering right? How the hell did you get work done and have no recovery time.” I said, still not believing her. Reaching out and poking her nose. I got a smacked hand back. Should’ve expected that one. Rubbing my stinging hand I kept staring at her dumbfounded.

“It’s his technique! He just put me under and when I woke up I had a new nose!” She said proudly, pulling out her phone to marvel at herself. Just leaving myself dumbfounded about this seeming miracle worker of a plastic surgeon. No way in hell that this guy just put Tia under once and she left with a perfect nose.

“Who is this magic surgeon?” I asked her, trying to pull her away from her
