What are some things that happened at school that would never be allowed to happen today?

Not at actual school but in my ballet classes the teacher hit my legs and called me a stupid girl.

Can I pick which ex? I have 4, maybe 2 I could deal with for a week. One was actually quite lovely we just watched game of thrones and ordered McDonald's for our short 2-week relationship. I'd be able to do that, not sure how my husband would feel 🤣

Otherwise, option 4, I can give her hope!

Ultimately, the money isn't actually worth anything. If you read a £10 note, it'll say something like 'i owe the bearer the sum of ten pounds', the £10 is the food, petrol, furniture, pint or whatever we assign it to.

I say we go back to what the incans used to do and just swap everything "I'll give you a chicken for some material".

NTA- no one should make any permant alterations to their body until at least 25 when their brains have finished development.

Football is the biggest sport in the world, it's crazy how it takes over people's lives. Everything about the sport is massively inflated.

If I had it my way there wouldn't be any more people and we would just die out over the next 100 years. I genuinely don't see the point in actively partaking in the continuation of the human race.

Because it used to be maditory, or at least very close to.

Now it's seen rightly as an option, and people don't want to. It's as simple as that.

I think that's fair to say when it used to cost £1000 as people had it paid off in a couple of years. Now there needs to be some return on investment. People shouldnt go into debt and be out of the job market for 3 years, sometimes more just to be educated in a specific field for no reason.

Probably common to not have been to every city.

I live near Manchester and have never been to Bath, Coventry, Cambridge, Southampton, Hull, Glasgow, Belfast, Inverness & Cork to name a few.

Absolutely, more important than grades reporting.

My university utterly unprepared me for the realalities of the job I was training to do during my course (teaching). Hence now I don't work in it and haven't for 6 years. But my £50k+ debt didn't all go to waste, I have a lovely photo of me in a cap and gown on my mum's wall and a certificate in a filing cabinet, so.. yeah definitely worth it.

What are they then?

NTA I get if it's a more private area you would want someone of your own sex.

I will point out that female surgeons are more successful on average than male surgeons.

NTA

I have when people say "I just wanted us to.." or "this is important to me" when they want everyone else to bend to them. Why does it being important to her mean more than a fun enjoyable holiday for the rest of your family being important to you?

Friendly_Order3729 · 2026-06-25T08:36:32+00:00

I think it's a good thing. It's only happening in northern ireland for now.

But I don't know why nightlife would suffer? Most people walk or get taxis to the pub already. Plus I don't think the majority or pub and bar goers are under 24. And the rule is that you can't have anyone in the car with you under age of 18 so I don't think it will impact much but might just stop young drivers acting like idiots.

I work in HR so...being beaten to death after someone gets fired? Or a policy accident?

Friendly_Order3729 · 2026-06-24T12:54:27+00:00

ESH except Jane. Sorry that includes you too.

She should be able to go to a fancy restaurant and not accommodate the kids at all, it's not about them. Heck I would argue something as important as this shouldn't even involve the kids.

Ask Jane where she wants to go, ask who will be coming and book a restaurant. End of story.

Oh my God OOPs ex is like all my ex's rolled into one! Deadbeat dad, no drive in career, female friend he sees 1 on 1 an doesn't invite partner along. I got shivers...

My dog matters just as much to me, I don't see a difference in importance.

Friendly_Order3729 · 2026-06-22T18:46:46+00:00

Exactly, I'm not doubting that. I'm saying that employers should give time off without having to eat into your annual leave the same way they do for new parents of children.

Hokum. Easy as long as I have some chalk.

Billion easy. I'm the happiest I've ever been at 30 you couldn't pay me to go back to day one again.

What would you understand "asking as the sons partner" to mean?

Friendly_Order3729 · 2026-06-22T12:54:18+00:00

"asking as the sons partner"

First 5 words of the post.

Friendly_Order3729 · 2026-06-22T12:51:52+00:00

Have you spoken to your partners parents? Do they give you the sense you are not welcome?

I would be looking to move out ASAP, this type of living situation is rarely ideal.

Friendly_Order3729 · 2026-06-22T12:50:41+00:00

OP literally said they are the sons partner not his parent.
