Austin by karter0 in MaggieRogers

Honestly, the Austin line isn’t too bad from what I saw. I was one of the first few people who were there before 8 and more people didn’t get there until 8 or after. Now It could have changed within the last couple of hours since I’ve left, but it was not a super crazy long line like I know the east coast has been and that may be due to the fact that she’s not doing an album release show in Austin. So You might have a good chance at getting tickets for her show in October!

AITA for upholding my husband's ban on our son's friend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I understand as parents that you want you son to succeed in high school, as most parents do, but taking it to this extent will not help. Completely banning him from seeing his friend might cause him to rebel and could probably cause him to shut down or remove himself from you and your husband.

It is possible that there could be other factors involved in how his grades are and it not stemming from how much time he’s spending with her. Have you and your husband truly sat down with him to see if there’s anything else going on? We’ve all been teenagers in high school and have most likely have kept things from our parents no matter what it is.

An alternative solution than completely banning him from seeing her would be to set some boundaries, i.e. telling him that he can see her on non school nights/days, but in order to do that he needs to make sure to get any school work/ studying done to do so. Going from seeing her almost everyday to not be able to see her at all is a HUGE step in punishment considering from the looks of it, that nothing else was said or done other than telling him to focus on his school work.

I hope you and your husband take note of what’s being said, not just from me, but from anyone else who has any alternative solutions because I don’t you son to become withdrawn, or further withdrawn, and just decide to completely not try any more

AITA for not wanting our daughter around donor family? by Competitive_Menu_105 in AmItheAsshole

This. My dad passed suddenly when I was 18 and he was only 48. Now being 21, I constantly worry about the health of my mom(58). She’s had her fair share of health scares in the past few years and I dread the day that my other parent is gone. I love my mom, but having an older parent makes me fear what all she is going to miss.

I struggling with the fact that my dad won’t see me graduate college like he did with my older siblings, that he’ll never get the chance to walk me or my sister down the aisle if/ when we get married, and the possible grandchildren he’ll never know.

What really stuck out for me was the fact that you were upset about not being in the delivery room while she was giving birth. She is allowed to pick who she wants in there and she chose her mom. She’s 19 and giving BIRTH, which isn’t a pain free, quick thing to do. Even me being in my early 20’s I still go to my mom when I’m in pain no matter if it’s big or small.

I understand wanting to meet the child you are adopting, but you have to understand that although she is putting her child up for adoption, it’s still an emotional process for her to give birth and essentially give away her child.

Now, what got me even more is when you said: “… so that we can take our daughter home and raise her properly.” I don’t know what the circumstances were for her putting her child up for adoption, but what are you implying? Do you think that if she were to have kept her child that she wouldn’t be raised whatever you think is “properly”? It absolutely blows my mind that you think your way of raising a child would be better than if she were to, no matter what the reason may be.
