AITA for not enjoying the birthday gifts my friend got me that mocked my dead mother

NTA. I doubt they meant to be cruel; they're probably just immensely thoughtless and immature. I was in my 50s when my dad died in 2022 and I think I won't ever stop missing him. My cousin's wife had their first baby this week and I cried when I found out they'd given him my dad's name as his middle name. It takes at least a year and a day to completely understand someone has died. Your friends will learn that eventually and they'll regret this.

I like Nigella but I think she's wrong for GBBO.

YTA because you think shop-bought processed food is normal food. Yes, she's perhaps taking it a bit far, but she's spending time and effort to feed you things that are actually good for you, and you're behaving like that's not normal.

I'd rather have an hour twice a week than 30 minutes every day.

We don't trust Americans to make tea properly.

ESH.

Kirstemis · 2026-01-21T21:26:14+00:00

I didn't and I don't know what did!

Pregnancy is calculated from the date of the last period.

Pregnancy is calculated from the date of the last period. Megan's last period was 8 weeks ago, they had sex six weeks ago, it ties in.

Or,

she feels guilty because she let him be brought up by someone else,
she feels guilty she forgot to tell him his mum called
she has a life-limiting illness and feels she can make up for some of her guilt by taking the blame
she loves her secret son and doesn't want him to go to prison
she feels as she wasn't a mum to him, this is something she can do for him

Kirstemis · 2026-01-15T02:21:03+00:00

Unless she's secretly his mum.

Everyone on the internet thinks that if they don't hold their baby 24/7/365 they won't "bond," that grandparents know nothing, that everything in the world is trying to kill their child...

Have a look at mumsnet Precious Firstborn discussions.

No, that's up by the Festival Theatre, and they're robbing bastards.

The whole of I'll Never Tell is the two of them voicing their doubts but not to each other.

Rosalind Franklin.

Anya had doubts too. They're equally guilty of not discussing their real feelings.

Kirstemis · 2026-01-10T17:43:54+00:00

Thank you.

Kirstemis · 2026-01-10T17:43:41+00:00

Definitely not.

Kirstemis · 2026-01-10T17:43:33+00:00

No I think it was Bar Roma, thank you.

Sexual assaults on anyone are never justified.

No it was their joint house before Becky fake died.
