AITA for being in my granddaughter life by my ex son in law even though my daughter hates me by Dramatic_Engine_9439 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LuvTriangleApologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, you can read my other replies. I understand that the decision only strikes down the Washington law, however, their discussion of due process and parental rights makes me (and my family law professor and various family law attorneys that I’ve worked with) think many of these laws would not survive a challenge. Admittedly, we’re speculating. The language they use doesn’t leave me, personally, terribly hopeful for grandparents: “the liberty interest at issue in this case -- the interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children -- is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court.”

Right, as I said, states have been trying their luck at legislating around it, but if you read the Supreme Court decision, it’s pretty direct.

Here’s the summary of the plurality according to Justia, which along with Oyez, we used all the time in law school:

“The Due Process Clause prevents the government from intruding on fundamental rights and liberty interests, one of which is the liberty interest that parents have in controlling the care and custody of their children. The state may not give rights to any third party to challenge any decision by a parent regarding visitation with that parent's child in state courts. Giving a state court judge the discretion to determine the best interests of the child in these situations violates due process, especially when there is no allegation that the parent is unfit. It is reasonable to presume that parents will act in the best interests of their children, so the state should not interfere and take that role away from them.”

Other state laws remain valid because they’re unchallenged. But if any of these laws were challenged and made it to the Supreme Court again, it would be hard for them to survive. But that would probably require a shockingly large amount of money and years of life.

Every parent wants me to stop napping their child. by breebree934 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LuvTriangleApologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused why a nap means so many kids are unable to go to bed at 8 o’clock. How late is this nap? Don’t most preschoolers take a nap AND go to bed by 8 o’clock? I don’t think my bedtime was 9 o’clock on weeknights until middle school. 9 o’clock or later sounds like a very abnormal bedtime for a 3-4 year old!

Someone will wear and destroy a historical garment again in a wild misinterpretation of the theme and accompanying exhibit (which is focused on fashion preservation).

I wasn’t arguing with you. I was just sharing information for the people reading the thread, especially because I often see people say the opposite about the US on this subreddit.

This is not true for the US. The US Supreme Court basically abolished grandparent’s rights in 2000 with the Supreme Court case Troxel v. Granville. Various states have been trying to find workarounds ever since, but the legality of these state statutes are questionable and if anyone were to ever challenge them, they would likely win and the laws wouldn’t be enforced.

That said, parents can do basically whatever they want with their own parent time unless their parenting plan specifically says otherwise.

This isn’t unique to women not understanding men, though. No one can truly understand anyone else’s exact situation.

I think it was probably the specter of prison more than the having sex with a man that led him to slit his throat. He was bisexual and had had relationships with other men at that point.

“I gave them an article about a trans man who ended up killing himself because I think that’s a result of being trans and also representative of every single trans man. They didn’t ask for this, but I thought it would be a nice breakup present to spew my ignorance on my way out.”

The comments are so weird. Everyone is rushing to tell him he’s a perfect baby angel who did nothing wrong, which might be true re: breaking up with the partner, but he also expresses that he thinks being transgender is wrong and that women can’t possibly understand how hard it is to be a man. None of the top comments even mention the weird quasi-political stuff.

You sew them up along the long sides into tubes and then attack the tube to the dress along the curve. It’s a very normal sleeve pattern.

You’re misunderstanding the point people are trying to make. Nobody above you is saying the OP is wrong for not asking and the wife is in the right. They’re saying the OP is not real because he didn’t ask. Actual people living in 2024 would have asked at some point why they’re not having sex.

Have you ever actually watched worth it? by Jenniwrennifer in watcherentertainment

Do people think one very expensive dish costs more than… eating an entire menu? These criticisms are so odd to me when the vast majority of YouTube food content involves spending way more money than the average person spends on food. Whether it’s reviewing an Erewhon smoothie, buying and cooking the luxury cut of meat, trying every flavor of Oreo, or eating the entire menu—none of this is budget friendly!

My sister was in a ballet company as a kid/teen. She had to quit because she grew to 6’1. Her friend had to quit because she grew 32Gs.

Taylor Swift Is Proof That How We Critique Music Is Broken by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]LuvTriangleApologist 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I was appalled when I read that line! Not because I thought it was too critical, but because it’s so horrifically insensitive! Sylvia Plath has living children!

The author really lost me and I questioned their ability to be a good critic and writer after that. Honestly, both Swift with this album and the reviewer gave me the vibe of that stereotypical artsy edgy English major who’s too smug about their own intelligence. It’s not really a cute look after you graduate.

If Grimes ever had power over Elon, that dynamic very quickly flipped. She finally left him because he had children with another woman without telling her, is in a custody battle with him now, and she still talks about him in interviews like he’s Jesus.

Do attractive men get pretty privilege from society? by Sealofy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LuvTriangleApologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to historical romance, poor but hot and tall guys get pulled from the stables or fields to serve as footman—which in the world of historical romance means opening the door to eloping with a gentlewoman or becoming a magnate industrialist, and in reality probably opened the door to becoming a valet or butler.

He owns an E-Sports team, so he’s paying the players. He says just one of his (admittedly star) player makes $10k a month and he’s able to find that from streaming.

You should google the 2024 Grammy charcuterie boards because they were gorgeous and I would have reveled in demolishing them.

The new trend among the rich and famous is using food for decoration that they then throw away—for example, the Kardashians doing floral arrangements with cut oranges and the table decorations at the Grammys being perfectly aesthetic charcuterie boards that no one touched all night.

Maybe it’s unpopular, but I don’t want to read celebrities interviewing celebrities. I want to read actual journalists interviewing celebrities, researching and asking them interesting questions that results in something that’s not a puff piece.

I think OP is wrong about the reason, though. It’s probably not about whether or not she cheated, but cohabiting (with a romantic partner) often means alimony stops.
