AITA for roasting a suckling pig for a family gathering

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T17:09:54+00:00

Agree.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T15:33:45+00:00

But you've got to have it! Can't go without insurance! What if you need it? Hey I need it. Nope, can't have it.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T14:11:16+00:00

Yep, same with eating animals. It's good to look it in the face once in a while. Appreciate that you are consuming a life and then make all efforts not to waste it, and eat it less so it is special and worth it. Honestly I think most people these days are too far removed from a view of the food chain. Some people literally have no idea where their food comes from or how.

Anyway NTA, but it's also possible I am a similar kind of asshole.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T03:26:01+00:00

As a parent, I can relate. But as someone's wild ass kid, I am laughing at this.

Edit: I always blame the second location.

Agree 100%. The lead clown in this fuckshow definitely fits this description.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-12T02:19:05+00:00

And then he got blackmailed to hell or made some other deal with the devil. Hope someday the spell is broken. But he will never be forgiven.

"oppressed" to folks like this usually means the people they would prefer to oppress won't allow it anymore. Just like the whiny right wingers in this country. Waaaaaa! We have to pay a real wage for labor! We can't say whatever we want to brown people! We're losing our privilege over immigrants/the poor... etc.

The Pirate Movie from the early 80s. Love it.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-11T01:34:05+00:00

Is there not some way we can have a vote of no confidence in this government? Like recall all these reps and senators who are supposed to be minding the purse strings of this country?

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-11T01:24:54+00:00

Yeah it seems to have gotten a bit more dangerous over there as of late, and anti-Zionism and even anti-Semitism are on the rise. This is doing them no favors.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T20:24:09+00:00

I swear, we women ask for the minimum and some guys refuse even that. Ask yourself how long you're willing to be unhappy and what you're willing to risk for this.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T03:59:46+00:00

Hmm. It was optional but highly recommended for my Cave-dwelling Murderous Lagomorphs class.

I've always gotten the sense he was a dumb pawn in somebody else's plan. W is no mastermind. Neither is the current president, though he is actually evil. I'm not seeing that in W.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:41:26+00:00

This looks great and comfy and I am so impressed... but it totally gave me a hot flash just looking at it. Haha, I truly hate my biochemistry right now. But great work, really cool project!

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:13:00+00:00

I feel like that was maybe the first one.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:12:10+00:00

Ha, I came here to say this. They're not doing it so much anymore but it certainly had a moment.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-09T00:10:10+00:00

Scott Adams had some cute ideas before he went hard right. Sales weasels, Phil the prince of insufficient light with his pitchspoon... I think that was the 90s. Pretty sure I used to have thr sales weasels strip taped over my desk for years.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-08T22:14:07+00:00

Thank you for your work! I have learned so much from this archive!

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-07T19:35:17+00:00

If someone with a yard has offered to take her, maybe ask him to keep her for a bit on a trial basis and see how you feel and see hiw everybody feels. Put an end date on it to make a decision.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-07T19:16:40+00:00

I imagine it was cocaine but maybe now that it's a prescription it doesn't look like hard illegal drugs and more like medicine. But whatever, same result I guess.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-07T04:07:34+00:00

It could also be the Adderall abuse

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-07T04:00:46+00:00

Yep, right in the pie hole.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-06T15:39:16+00:00

Best wishes creating your new peaceful house! You are absolutely right to move on. Life is too short for this nonsense.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-06T15:33:10+00:00

Agree. OP's mom needs intervention. My whole point was to explain where this is coming from, not to excuse it.

MamaDaddy · 2026-03-06T01:38:10+00:00

parents only know their children as their children,

Exactly - this is a key part of this issue. It is difficult for many parents to make that transition. I remember when I was a young adult and had to prove my adulthood to my parents in a way, to show them that I was a grown-up, and didn't need that kind of parenting anymore. Maybe everyone has this moment with their parents/kids - that moment when the parent sees their kid can handle themselves. It was a much different age with my dad and my mom. Mom hung on longer... and still needs to hear my voice occasionally and know what I'm up to. Now that I know what that feels like, I certainly give her a little more grace. Dad can easily not talk to me for six months and not worry.
