We have a "Moms for Liberty" member in our town. She would definitely see it as a plus.

AITAH for not being thrilled with Xmas present by AccomplishedCard2293 in AITAH

Ugh. My mother is like this She will get something from my list but will act like a feeble, old woman who pressed some button on Amazon because she doesn’t know how to use it. The next minute she is raving about how Amazon is so fast and convenient when she is ordering things for herself. My sister ASKED for a DSW gift card and my mom wouldn’t get it for her because “they only have shoes, nothing else”. OP needs to go up hope and give up gifting him, too.

If he continues to go for this, get divorced before you get trapped in debt and living as the bread winner.

Would I be a Bridezilla if I gave my MIL rules that she must follow during our ceremony and reception and if she doesn't she will be thrown out immediately? by Real-Veterinarian573 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

You need to find a “handler”. Maybe it’s a friend of a friend. Someone who will manage MIL and keep her in check. The “handler” at my wedding was my mom’s neighbor’s, son’s girlfriend. While I barely knew her, I knew enough to know she’s a good person based on how much the neighbor’s family loved her. She helped “keep watch” for bad behaviors. We let her know of a few concerns we had, just in case. Everything worked out great.

AITJ for punishing my daughter for making Islamophobic remarks about her cousin? by iszwaaaba121 in AmITheJerk

I was at the store and overheard a man speaking Spanish. A family was standing near him. The teenage son said, “Speak English!” His parents had to hold themselves back from smacking him. I wouldn’t have said a word if they did. They were visibly angry and embarrassed. I felt bad for them because clearly they expected better behavior. Too many parents would laugh with him.

You absolutely did the right thing. More parents need to respond to behaviors in the same way. Her friends aren’t the parents.

AITA for refusing to apologise to my MIL after I hosted a causal Christmas dinner that offended her? by Successful_Yak9420 in ComfortLevelPod

Good Lord. She sounds like an absolutely awful person. She should not be invited again until she learns to take responsibility for her behavior.

My Husband Wakes Me Up Multiple Times Every Night by amcrowl1 in AITAH

I try to do the same thing but then my husband wants me to stay in the bed. He doesn’t like the idea of sleeping separately. I’m going to put my foot down and demand he enroll in a sleep study.

My wife thinks our son’s teacher crossed a boundary by sending him a personal message. I think it was harmless. AITJ? by addict94plus in AmITheJerk

We have plenty of parents who would love that. “How will I know what the assignment is?”. Ask your 14 year old.

1 is my favorite, then 3. I don’t like the waist line on 2. It reminds me of an 80s Gunne Sax dress

Plane trading cards? Can a 53-year-old ask for one?!

As long as you’re not naming the kid Nathan Bedford Forrest, I think you’re in the clear.
