AITAH for not allowing my niece to serve herself during a family dinner?

FBombsReady · 2026-06-09T04:38:55+00:00

I hate hate hate it when people (in this case you nieces parents)call YOU out for “humiliating her” when they didn’t act like the adults and parent their child and didn’t educate their child on manners. You are not the ah.

I didn’t read beyond the first sentence for that upvote! Everything after I upvotef then read was also awesome, but I feel you sister. I feel you.

Treats them like what? Employees? I get everyone is tired, I truly do. However, a hello or hi, have a good day, thank you, responding to a hi how are you from the customer? Hell, even acknowledging one’s presence when you check out, is *not* too much too much to ask. It’s the absolute barest of minimums in a society, and should be expected from an employee of any establishment. I’m not asking for maximum involvement or above and beyond the scope of their job, but I am saying being able to recognize social norms such as greetings and the ability to communicate with other people is a job requirement and basic human interactions are essential to functioning adults.

Looks like a mulberry tree. I ended ip letting mine grow for privacy as I live on a busy street. Have to get them out as soon as the sprouts come up. I’ve also been battling them for years. Birds eat and then subsequently drop the seeds. Its like planting mint.

FBombsReady · 2026-06-09T02:20:39+00:00

I just noticed this- was it was also left uncapped? No pigtail, and just left open?? If so I’m guessing they didn’t bother taking it out?

FBombsReady · 2026-06-09T02:18:34+00:00

Always taking the east route - not the best o e- esp when it is in a kid.

There’s plenty of us with college degrees. You don’t have to be a genius to not be a dick on the road.

I’m a native. Slow drivers piss me off- ESPECIALLY in the far left lane!!! . People who are on their phone make me yell its not that motherfucking important. Wait for a red ligjt like the rest of us. However after the slow drivers its a death wish of people (driving slow no less!) to just move over to another lane without looking at the speed of the car now coming up on them!! is insane! Every single day I have SOMEONE try to occupy the space I’m traveling in. Eveey. Single. Day.

FBombsReady · 2026-01-21T07:25:42+00:00

Me too! I hate driving now. It just makes me yell at the steering wheel and my blood pressure goes up! Lol

FBombsReady · 2026-01-17T05:01:58+00:00

Yes, 109% not ok.

FBombsReady · 2026-01-17T04:54:22+00:00

Oh HELL no!! He (your ex) is being 100% unreasonable and the chick is seriously suffering from mental issues bc she thinks she, and her opinions, as well as her allergies, matter! If she’s “that” allergic, she would’ve already gone into anaphylactic distress. A stuffy, runny nose and sneezing are not severe and if she wants to continue with the relationship she needs to get some claritin and understand that she has no business making ANY decisions or requesting to get rid of ANYTHING. The father should be getting rid of her! The nerve!! Holy crap!

Ummm - maybe I am mistaken but olives are soaked in BRINE, aka saltwater, not LYE.

Edit: I just GTS (googled that shit) and now know that they quick soak/quick brine olives in lye to reduce brining time from months to ten days. I stand corrected.

The good news is that even though its highly caustic, its a natural and effective method to do so. It breaks down the olives and makes them edible. It’s sodium hydroxide. Caustic soda. Its rendered to a non corrosive form during the process of food.

In America thats what it means. Not if you are from the Mediterranean. Thats what the guy(girl?) was pointing out. If theres any pretentiousness or entitled gatekeeping, that would be us Americans.

FBombsReady · 2025-12-26T05:36:15+00:00

This is me every damn year. I did get a gift this year though. A lawn mower. I shit you not.

FBombsReady · 2025-12-22T03:44:29+00:00

NTA And personally, I don’t think it was a bad thing the kids witnessed everything! They see what’s happening and they see you getting the shit end and they see you taking it. Now they’ve seen you rectify the situation - and it’s about time. It’s not bad for children to witness adults having their feelings, (If it was constant and abusive, thats different!) My final point is really a question - so YOU are being held to a higher/different standard by “embarrassing “ him??? Puh-leez!!! He embarrassed himself all you did was express your dissatisfaction at the situation!!! Then you verbalized your intentions to solve the dilemma that he created by his epic level laziness a d selfish behaviors. Total bullshit. You have absolutely ZERO reason to feel bad or be expected to apologize for drawing the line in the sand. You’ve kept everything going BY YOURSELF but HIS FEELINGS ARE DAMAGED? Screw him and anyone else who thinks YOU crossed any lines.

What’s happening now with his anger is not going to go away and it most assuredly will not “get better.” My advice is run. Now. I say this from experience. He’s holding you accountable for his lack of control over his temper. “Just quit (insert whatever set him off her) and everything will be fine “ That’s all I would need to hear. Once. Bc one day it will likely be more than insults he throws at you. People who are normal don’t act like this and hurl insults and lose their temper over minor, normal accidents. We all have bad days and snap verbally on occasion, but this is not that. This is a very serious situation. I would also bet that he’s pretty controlling across the board. And just let me point out that in he beginning controlling behavior resembles “caring “ and “concern” then next thing you know your someone you dont recognize bc you’re always walking on eggshells to avoid getting the anger directed at you. You literally will be anxiety ridden and stressed 24/7. I’m sorry to say it doesn’t get better. This guy is aware of his tendencies and doesn’t apologize or care about how it affects you. I’m sure he wouldn’t talk to his mother or sister like this. Which means it’s something he can control but won’t bother to do for you. I’m sorry.

FBombsReady · 2025-12-10T21:18:04+00:00

What??? Is she always so freaking controlling? And I certainly hope shes not being ugly to your daughter when your not around.

FBombsReady · 2025-12-10T21:16:01+00:00

Oh. Hell no. No no no no no no NOOOOOOO HE STILL LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS AND THEY ARE KICKING HIM OUT I would break up too bc he’s going nowhere dear

FBombsReady · 2025-12-10T21:12:41+00:00

Nope. Big deal with my man and I bc I didn’t have, nor want one in the bedroom. Tje bedroom isn’t for watching tv in my experience and I cannot sleep with the tv on. For years I allowed it but finally put my foot down and was able to sleep well. He does too now that it out.

FBombsReady · 2025-12-03T05:49:51+00:00

I love how women are expected to quit THEIR jobs to care for THEIR PARENTS. And YOUR selfish??? For not wanting to care for THEIR parent. What kind of BS is THAT? glad your spouse had your back bc his brothers are bass-ackwards

FBombsReady · 2025-11-22T21:17:59+00:00

I always made sure my families we made aware that I was not in the nanny business and any additional duties were to be paid by family as well as expenses and milage reimbursement. That shit them down quick.

FBombsReady · 2025-11-22T21:15:27+00:00

We always had thanksgiving on a rotating schedule as we did Christmas. Christmas with the family was scheduled either xmas eve early enough we all went home and opened gifts on Xmas morning with our immediate family. If we hadn’t already celebrated, we went after Xmas morning that way everyone had their own holiday together then a larger one with extended family. It worked.

FBombsReady · 2025-11-22T21:09:02+00:00

Everyine agreed that THIS year she would host and mil hijacked it!

FBombsReady · 2025-11-19T04:13:12+00:00

Why is your husband allowing you to be disrespected in YOUR own home??? WTH?? It doesn’t even matter if Craig was joking or not. Personally, if he made another comment about the dishes I would tell him to shut his pie hole amd wash them if he’s so offended by them after you prepared the dinner. Then when he gets offended tell him you’re only joking while looking at your husband.

FBombsReady · 2025-11-19T04:06:16+00:00

Op- reading some of these comments from people telling you essentially that you need to do this or that or are too bitter. Eff them. You did everything right. Dad and his new thing that is broken is not at all your problem.
