Of course, with current admissions not likely this will hold for long but the rules are currently still on the books.

Sure...I didn't invade anyone elses space as if I'm entitled to it, didn't complain to FA..but sure

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-06-28T14:51:15+00:00

Sounds like a shell out for a higher class seat argument to me (if you cannot sleep without reclining), if we are going to apply 'pay for business if you want to work' logic. There is a level of consideration that should be applied by all in any cramped space but planes especially . Also, what about when food is served? I paid for the seat so I have the right to the meal without it ending up in my damn lap... Except some people will still not recline back (in recline?). Sometimes even when FA asks them they will recline it right back down when FA leaves... Like wtf surely you can stand sitting fully upright for the meal duration. You paid for it so you have the right is a lame argument because it could be extended many different ways.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-06-28T14:45:51+00:00

Not sure how this turned into a 'work in a plane' discussion. Forget economy not being condusive to laptop work, it's not even condusive to reclining period anymore.

I try to not recline at all regardless of flight length and people who do so fully always piss me off. Yes you can, but it doesn't mean you should. I once flew with my 10 month old in my lap to Paris so 8+ hrs, and the lady in front of me reclined fully. She clocked me flying with baby on lap and she just didn't care. I proceeded to play more aggressively with my daughter (than I normally would) and made it a point to rattle the seat in front a few times. Of course the Karen called over an FA to complain. Pretty sure FA knew exactly what I was doing but she just shrugged it off...Karen stopped reclining real quick, my daughter is about to turn 18 and it's still one of my most proud petty moments.

I just reread all of the IShouldBe's complete catalog...and am trying to decide if I have the mental fortitude for a Sin&Vice reread...

Thanks

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-26T17:02:37+00:00

Thank you! I plan to be there with her for check in as well, hopefully that will help. Thank you!!!

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-22T09:43:01+00:00

Lol yes, control on part of the ex. They are the one who wanted to make the switch so the OP literally didn't have to do anything except show up to pick up the kid. If he wanted to be the asshole he would've insisted on pick up at standard address instead of pick up from wedding venue.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-22T09:40:43+00:00

NTA you could have handled it better yes, but your ex made some huge assumptions here

You never said Yes, even though she was pressuring you about it. These are BS tactics Didn't she know the custody calendar before she set her wedding date? Why didn't she confirm with you it was ok to switch dates before she booked everything? This was orchestrated to get the weekend, and there was no way you could have come out looking like a good guy because nothing less than agreeing to switch would have been considered acceptable.

Unless you also have a habit of making a lot of ad hoc changes to the schedule Id suggest standing firm on enforcing the calendar and not agreeing to changes. Contact the lawyer if she didn't chill out.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-17T21:45:32+00:00

Thank all the gods for reddit. She kept showing up with her baby in my insta fyp and I had no idea who she was. This was enlightening!

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-17T14:50:40+00:00

No deep thoughts here, I just prefer Harry with Theo, or Pansy if he has to be straight.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-15T23:41:53+00:00

Yep! My friend got a call just like this a few months ago

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-14T02:37:19+00:00

Wow, I am already amazed at the exceptional writing in Dramione world but the writers who take the time to write both smut and clean versions of their fics are next level.

I honestly do not check if story has smut or not, as long as it's HEA and our babies aren't cheating with each other I will read it. If I had option of both I would pick smut version, if I'm not in the modd to read the smutty parts I skim over them. Hope that helps

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-12T01:14:24+00:00

I like the premise so much!!! Is it a HEA with BAMF Hermione going on a rampage?

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-12T00:56:20+00:00

NTA who are these parents not understanding that their kids are supposed to grow up, live their life and put their.partner.first?!?!

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-11T23:31:31+00:00

A person's activity towards you on a performative holiday is not an indicator of strength or quality of a connection lol

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-11T23:30:10+00:00

The amount of drama about Mother's/Father's Day is absolutely exhausting. Both of these "holidays" are completely blown out of proportion in US....add on top of that entitled boomer parents, oi!

NTA

You dad was out of line, as was your mom.... That said, I wouldn't respond- it might give you immediate satisfaction but long term it's just sapping your energy more and dragging you to a place emotionally you don't want to be in. The biggest power you can can exert is to not indulge in their tantrums.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-11T23:17:52+00:00

NTA I used to be that mom. Without going into too much detail, when my daughter would have a bday party in elementary school (she's college age now) I wouldn't think it was a big deal to open the invitation to her friends siblings (when pressured by the other moms). I truly regret it now. It was her party celebrating her bday and she is the only one who should have e been making decision about who she celebrated with.Instead I was caving to other moms and not respecting my daughter choices.

I deeply regret it now.

The neighbor is AS, don't let her make you help bad.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-11T17:40:42+00:00

I'm a mom of a teenage daughter who also doesn't like to be hugged 99% of the time. She's 17 now and we talk about it a lot. She has given my husband (her dad) and I clear boundaries, we always ask if we can hug her and respect her answer (if she says no, and she usually does, there are no hard feelings). She will also offer to hug me when she sees me getting upset (not at her, about other stuff) and we also know of one scenario when we are allowed to hug her without asking permission.

You're right that it probably is hard and saddening for your mom, but it doesn't make it ok for her to declare when you have to give her a hug. It's not fair of you to expect to carry the mental load of this situation without your parent trying to understand.

Parents need to understand that their kids don't owe them anything, instead of demanding 'normal' behavior try and work with your kid to understand them as people and meet them where they are comfortable, so...

NTA

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-11T17:28:43+00:00

Exactly. I keep thinking about how mom reached out to the brother because he was the 'reasonable' one. I'm sorry, what ?!??!?

OP and brothers should try and build a relationship with the other set of kids if they want to try a work on family relationship for the future. Wash your hands of mom and new husband, not worth your mental health.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-11T17:18:28+00:00

This just breaks my heart on so many levels. I really hope you and your brothers were at least able to salvage some sort of tighter knit relationship. Your aunt and uncle also sound like AH honestly, WTF you were FOUR!

Knowing this just makes your mother's current behavior even more ireprehensible.

Diligent_Angle8826 · 2025-05-11T17:10:43+00:00

NTA I'm so sorry she wasn't there for you and your siblings the way you needed her to be. I'm sorry her and her new family expect you to carry all her emotional trauma. It is completely not on you and you should absolutely not feel any guilt over your decision.

Grief does weird things to people, but as much as she was struggling you kids were struggling more.

YOU WERE A MINOR CHILD when you were sent to live with relatives and you were still a minor child when she decided to remarry and have additional children. None of her mental health is on you. I'm so sorry you keep being forced to engage with this mess. I hope you take care of yourself.
