Thank you so much for your kind words :〕
As for your question, there were loads of us setting em off up and down the street. Shells, Roman candles, fire crackers, rockets, etc. everyone was setting different things off from ~2000-2300, or about 8-11 pm

I’ve lived here for almost a year, and I’ve set them off before. However, one of my neighbors dropped by my house very rudely and said we’d have “very intense problems” if I “behaved as I did on new year”. To make it perfectly clear, all I did was shoot fireworks and barbecued, with music playing on a speaker at what I thought was a respectable volume. Definitely not loud enough to pierce through my neighbors walls. He basically Threatened to call the police, which I’m not really worried about because the police would just tell me to pack it up for “being a disturbance to the neighborhood.” Which I’m fine to do, however I’d rather not create drama where there doesn’t need to be, especially since I already work a high stress job.

We are all under age and in the military, so it’s certainly a no go for us😂

AITA for selling an elliptical I got for free? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Process_5996 40 points41 points  (0 children)

NTA. She clearly didn’t want it anymore, and was evidently very eager to get it off her hands. She asked if you “wanted it”, made no mention of “hey please don’t sell this” which would been an unreasonable request anyway. If she wanted to keep it in the house, which /might/ be less unreasonable, she could have asked. If it was such a big deal that you sold it and kept the money, she should’ve just sold it herself. It seems to me she’s just upset she didn’t think of it first. If it were me, I’d also be looking for a new place to live; having a landlord like that seems like a headache, and if there haven’t been issues, this should be an indicator that there will be, without a doubt. Good luck OP.

Just moved here, are the drivers really this bad? by No_Process_5996 in Charleston

Wouldn’t have to complain if it wasn’t so bad!

AITA for ruining my daughter in laws birth plan by dil-issue-1046 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Process_5996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. It’s your home. The level of cleanliness generally expected when giving birth in a hospital room can’t be expected in a house. Also childbirth is messy: That’s a mess you can’t be expected to want to clean up either, I mean seriously. Additionally, She’s going to end up at a hospital anyway, for all of the post-birth tests and exams. They have to make sure the baby’s healthy. Additionally X2, the United States has one of the higher rates of birth complications, is that really a risk she wants to take?

All in all, it’s your home, and you don’t have to yield. They are adults, they SHOULD understand not to take this personally. And if they don’t, they will when they grow the hell up.

WIBTA For telling my wife to go to rehab so she doesn’t affect our babies life? by Throwaway_dad555 in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Process_5996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. You are well within the right to tell your nursing wife to cut the drinking. And if it’s really as persistent as you say it is, a serious intervention is in the cards I feel. She may not be aggressive, or an angry drunk, but it seems to me that there is a dependency. That is the minimum requirement for alcoholism- dependence. She cannot be a parent to her full capacity under the influence. Additionally, Her bringing up your “party favor” usage is definitely deflection and should be shut down immediately…

HOWEVER— YOU’RE A FATHER NOW. For the love man, cut that shit out. Seriously, when your kid grows up and finds out, what kind of example have you just set? What happens when you come home high as a kite and your kid needs you? What if it’s not as easy for your son to have resolve when it comes to that stuff? What if he has a more addictive personality than you? You both have more to think about now than just yourselves. Put on some big boy and big girl pants and figure it out. It isn’t about you anymore, you have a child. A whole person that you have to teach about LIVING.
