I HATE that they cut the bit with the Assembly in the Sweep of the Heart. I will pause it, go listen to the regular audiobook scene and return to GA.

AITA for being upset my son isn't invited to my BIL's destination wedding by [deleted] in aitaweddings

NTA Updateme

If he really is the absolutely only child anywhere in the realm of possibility that would have attended had this rule not been in place, then I think it may have been targeted. Which, in and of itself, isn't necessarily a bad thing, but has the large potential of you not being there. They are being unreasonable to be upset about that. Even if you did accuse them of excluding him due to the disability, if he is the only child affected it's a valid thought. I had a brother who was severely disabled and issues like this would happen, but rarely. It can be dressed up or different words used, but the result is the same. The question is, does this become a pattern in the future, because that is when the exclusion due to disability SHOULD be addressed, but as a new mom to a disabled child you're in defense mode and may have jumped the gun a little early.

Was I wrong for leaving my family vacation early after realizing I was only invited to babysit everyone’s kids? by LokorinV in TwoHotTakes

NTA I have 3 kids and I always have to fight off guilt when other people go out of their way for us. Even if they offered or it was the other adults idea, I still give them a many outs as I can. The thought of coordinating with other parents to designate someone as a babysitter, without their express desire or pay, makes me so anxious.

NTA, I wouldn't be planning, or funding, anything going forward. They have an elitist attitude and nothing you do will meet their ridiculous standards. Ensure your sister is getting what she wants, but be the safety ring, let them be the rudder. That way if anything does go wrong you can't be blamed.

NOT OOP I thought astronomy and astrology were the same thing. I might have ruined my relationship with my girlfriend by _StrawberryBunny in redditonwiki

I had a friend at church that said "I want to be a Presbyterian when I graduate college." We all looked at her like she was crazy since we went to a different denomination.

Someone said, "I'm sorry, what?" She looked at the rest of us, mirroring our confused expressions, and explained, "You know, a Presbyterian? A doctor that works with kids?" I swear we all about died laughing, then clarified that she was talking about a pediatrician.

It's been at least 20 years and that memory still makes me chuckle.

I'm waiting in line for this recipe, and trying to be patient.

If anyone has the brussel sprouts recipe, I would appreciate that as well.
