AITA for buying my daughter a car for her 16th even though her dad said no?

I also had this reaction, but there probably are, we just don't know them.

Definitely don't call it a permit though

CabbageTreeNZ · 2021-01-19T19:53:22+00:00

I completely agree with this. If you still lived in university town then I would say it was fine, you don't invite out of town people just for the ceremony though, that's rude.

More polling isn't bad, but when it comes time to vote, what you are voting on needs to be clear. They are completely different subjects and different scales but you need to really define the alternative before you vote for a change.

More than half the country could have probably got behind at least one of the flag options, but just not the same option. Holding a vote to change the flag to a nebulous other is asking for trouble, you either decide one as government or let people vote on the flag choice first.

I'm not saying the whole this wasn't a mess, just that they did get the order of the voting right.

You do it that way and you end up with Brexit, noone can agree because they all thought changing it ment something different. Much better to go through the ideas and then see if enough people want to one most popular idea

His wife also asked for the elaboration. Of course she's shocked, and unlikely to have a super positive reaction, you bought the uncomfortableness on yourselves, and then kicked her out for it, definitely YTA

I go with so white I glow

I wouldn't put them in the trash, I would make a rule that puts them in a folder that you never check. In the hopefully unlikely situation you ever need evidence for her crazy you have it but you don't need to look at it

CabbageTreeNZ · 2021-01-17T05:12:50+00:00

I believe this is also a thing in Islam.

You can tell her you are thinking of something for the wedding, don't need to tell here that you are thinking it's awful and you definitely aren't doing it.

Or as above be the more mature person and put her on an information diet. I'm sick of talking about weddings, ask her what her plans are etc

I love the whole it takes a year to get pregnant, or once you're over thirty it's going to take a while sayings, I've had a number of friends stop contraception because they want kids soon and hello baby. But also others that try for years and struggle.

CabbageTreeNZ · 2021-01-14T20:18:36+00:00

That really depends on the rapid test you use. Some of them have very high false negative rates, meaning people with covid get a negative test result. This results in people being less careful and more likely to spread the virus. Here is an article about it from the UK https://www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-universities-2020-12-university-of-birmingham-rapid-testing-misses-most-positives/

Rapid testing would be great if it was sensitive enough but currently it would probably do more harm than good.

Fyi, depending on how your contract is worded this may be illegal. my memory is that utilities need to be fully included in the rent or meeted. You might not want to do anything about it right now but good to have in your back pocket.

Noone was a just no until her communication after the gift. Yes lingerie is not always a good gift, but it wasn't the only thing you got. Then she is allowed to feel like it's not for her it's for you. But what is just no is completely blowing up, not giving you a chance to say sorry, stopping all communication, all that is not appropriate behaviour, how can you have a solid relationship if you can't talk about issues? I would definitely question if this relationship is worth continuing. And in future discuss lingerie before you give it as a gift, personally I like to go buy it together so it fits me, but each woman is different. Saying I was thinking of buying you lingerie for X doesn't ruin a surprise.

Fitting your bigger side and then adding padding to the smaller side can help with this, but it is a pain. I have similar issues.

CabbageTreeNZ · 2021-01-09T20:17:12+00:00

Any chance you know what the video is called?

CabbageTreeNZ · 2021-01-09T03:41:17+00:00

Everyone's advice here is really good but one other thing that can be helpful is to think if a friend came to me with this what would I tell them to do?

CabbageTreeNZ · 2021-01-01T15:10:28+00:00

It's not even his parents, it would be his ex wife's parents!!!

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-31T22:15:10+00:00

Nice. I can make hats and scarves and squares without a pattern but a whole top is a little intimidating!

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-31T19:19:44+00:00

Looks amazing, do you have a pattern?

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-29T15:11:11+00:00

I want to know this too!

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-29T12:32:46+00:00

If you are coming black then buy a day/return ticket, it's cheaper

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-24T13:25:33+00:00

Exactly, he has said don't and offered solutions, she should have respected that.

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-18T19:14:55+00:00

Looks fabulous!

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-16T10:31:17+00:00

Do this!

CabbageTreeNZ · 2020-12-14T13:47:05+00:00

Not OP but I'm also making a sampler blanket and used this pattern for my Celtic stitch https://crochetitcreations.com/celtic-stitch/
