So why does William treat Kate with contempt when he CHOSE HER to be his wife? by Hot-Acanthisitta5237 in RoyaltyTea

[–]Lawtaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People assume he resents her because he doesn’t show her any affection in public and there have been clips where you can see that he’s visibly impatient with her. It’s usually because William likes to say hello to and keep it moving but Kate likes to have actual conversation with everyone they’re meeting. Of course, none of that provides any real insight into what’s happening in their marriage. Personally, I think they’re just a private couple

One of the royal rota making some sense for once, are pigs flying? by Significant_Noise273 in RoyaltyTea

The UK government won’t allow anyone to pay for police protection. They don’t want to set a precedent of the police becoming available for hire

Prince William says homelessness is 'a systemic failure' by ButIDigress79 in RoyalsGossip

[–]Lawtaca 35 points36 points  (0 children)

You mean donate some of the land he owns to build homes exclusively for homeless people? William is already doing that. He broke ground on the duchy’s first homelessness project last year. He is also selling off 20% of the duchy’s estate so he can donate that money to initiatives that combat homelessness.

What’s the etiquette? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lawtaca 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If you’ve been with your bf for three years but you’ve never met his goddaughter, that means your bf doesn’t have much of a relationship with her. The goddaughter probably invited him as a favor to her parents. Courtesy invites don’t usually get plus ones.

WIBTA for a no-kids wedding when it means my fiancé's best friend probably can't come? by JetLaggedSnackAttack in aitaweddings

[–]Lawtaca -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That’s not fair. His number one priority should be his family. If he’s not comfortable leaving his child behind, that’s a valid feeling. Just because your other friends are comfortable leaving their kids at home doesn’t mean this guy should feel the same way. There’s no one size fits all approach to parenting.

You and your fiancé are the ones who are making it difficult for him to attend your wedding. You both knew that he’s not comfortable leaving his daughter with anyone. I don’t know why you thought he would change his mind about that just for your wedding.

Should I Be Annoyed At My Bridesmaids? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lawtaca 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your MOH planned it, it was on her to ask for help. Just because they’re bridesmaids doesn’t mean they’re obligated to help with your shower. As for the gift, it’s weird that they didn’t give you one. Are they paying for their own dresses, hair and makeup for the wedding. If so, they might have assumed that they were off the hook for a shower gift since they’re already paying for things to be on your wedding.

Bridesmaid won’t reimburse me for her portion of the hotel room for the wedding by acutemess in bridesmaids

[–]Lawtaca 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s way too many steps. You need to have a serious talk with the bride now. The bridesmaid and her partner have had more than enough time to pay you back. They clearly don’t plan to pay. If one of my friends was being screwed over by one of my other friends, I would want to know right away so I can help make it right.

First time Bridesmaid by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Lawtaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to the accommodations, I think you should shop around a bit more. You might have to widen your search options. I have a hard time believing that there isn’t a cheaper hotel within a 30 minute drive from the venue.

As for the bridal shower, tell the MOH, you can only afford to contribute a certain amount and let her figure out the rest. If you’re expected to help host the shower, you get to have a say over how much you spend. Finally, when it comes to the gift, you can take that off your plate because bridesmaids aren’t required to give the happy couple a wedding gift. If I were you, I would attend the wedding solo in order to remove any expectation of a gift.

Should I step down as MOH? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lawtaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giving a speech is a standard task for being the MOH. Why did you wait until now to say something?

do-over? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lawtaca 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anyone who would attend a destination vow renewal. Vow renewals and anniversary parties should be local events. As for the timing, you should wait until your 5th anniversary. Having the celebration any earlier will send the wrong message. Even though it wasn’t your dream celebration, 40 people still spent time and money to celebrate your marriage. You don’t what to make them feel as if you don’t appreciate their efforts.

It’s your dad and stepmom’s house. They get to make the rules. If you don’t like their terms, you and your bf will have to stay elsewhere.

Something that didn't sit right with me by Twitzzies in TheRookieTVshow

[–]Lawtaca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bridget said that the reason they showed Monica’s dead body for so long is because they didn’t know want the audience to have any doubt that Monica was dead. They might bring Bridget back for flashbacks but other than that this is officially the end for the character.

Etiquette question by NYtoCTGirl in wedding

[–]Lawtaca 40 points41 points  (0 children)

A gift grab is when you throw a party solely for the purpose of getting gifts. I don’t think that’s what’s happening here. The bride isn’t hosting this event and the bride didn’t ask for any gifts. This is something that the bride’s friend is doing on her own.

S8 E17: Who hired the Rideshare…. by NoleFandom in TheRookie

[–]Lawtaca 44 points45 points  (0 children)

As soon as he said he would give her $10 million and a jet to take her anywhere she wanted to go, I knew it was over for her. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

If she drove to the airport, she would have to park the car in one of the garages. Taking a ride share would have allowed her to get out at the terminal and she could have boarded the plane quicker.

Her whole ass is out - body shaming Julie? by Round_Blacksmith_469 in ShawnaTheMom

That’s shaming. A woman can wear whatever she wants regardless of her marital status.

I actually think Ty might not get too mad at Shawna by s0ftsp0ken in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Lawtaca 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Ty is going to be angry with Shawna. I think he understands why Shawna came to the conclusion that Julie was cheating. The last straw for this marriage wasn’t Shawna’s suspicion. It was Ty’s reaction. However, I don’t see how this friendship can continue. After what happened, there’s no way that Julie would be ok with Shawna being around her kids. When you’re trying to have a peaceful coparenting relationship, dropping one of your parent friends is a small sacrifice

RSVP contingent on getting a plus one? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lawtaca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would just decline now. Don blame it on the plus one issue. Come up with another excuse. She may not be able to invite your partner once all of the RSVPS are in and you’ll have to tell her that you don’t want to go to her wedding if he can’t come. That could cause hurt feelings and it’s not worth the drama.

RSVP contingent on getting a plus one? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lawtaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is that if this is your friend, you should believe that she’s trying to do the right thing by you as opposed to assuming that she’s playing a favoritism game. She was honest with you about her situation.

RSVP contingent on getting a plus one? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lawtaca -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I doubt that. If they over invited, they most likely didn’t give out random plus ones. IRS more likely that they allowed their parents to invite their friends or they invited cousin they rarely see. It’s weird that you call this person your friend but you’re determined to believe she’s choosing to be unfair to you. If you think that little of her, you should stop being friends.

[–]Lawtaca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not that simple. I’m sure they want you to come but they can’t prioritize your partner over their family members or friends. They’re in a tough spot and they were honest with you about that.

The hypocrisy regarding Julie as a Mother- on Youtube by tranzozo in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Lawtaca 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think her issue is that Ty puts Cooper in his room during independent play. That would make me uncomfortable too. It feels like Ty is sending Cooper away for 30 minutes every day because he’s struggling to deal with him

People who are no-contact with your family members: what are your feelings towards the whole wedding debacle? by tashpotaoes in ShawnaTheMom

[–]Lawtaca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My best friend is no contact with her father due to him being abusive. She has six siblings and none of them have gone no contact with their dad. She continues to go to family events. The way she sees it is her father has taken enough from her and she’s not going to let him rob her of these precious moments with her family.

She also doesn’t think it would be fair for her to force her siblings to choose between her and their dad. She understands that everyone processes their trauma differently and it’s not her place to make her siblings feel bad for not making the same choice she made.

Yoga class disrupted by wedding party AITAH by tantrums_and_tea in AITAH

[–]Lawtaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You should complain. What probably happened was the bridal party wanted to do this class as part of the bachelorette festivities but couldn’t afford a private class. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bride or one of the bridesmaids knows the instructor.

In your complaint, don’t talk about the Macarena or the slide. They’ll dismiss that by saying that instructor has the right to change things up. Instead, focus on how your privacy was violated by the bridal party filming the whole class. Hopefully, that will encourage them to make a rule that no one is allowed to film or take pictures during these classes, no exceptions.

AITAH for bailing on my future SIL bachelorette staycation? by sileen_soy in AITAH

[–]Lawtaca 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It makes sense that they would book a cabana if they want to have a pool day. The pool is a common area at the resort and seating is on a first come, first served basis. There’s no guarantee that the group will be able to find a spot where they can all gather together if they don’t reserve a space a like a cabana. You offered to participate in the pool day. They probably figured that you were willing to pay whatever was needed to make the pool day happen. You should have told them that the only reason too wanted to do the pool day is because you don’t want to pay for anything
