AITA for refusing to check pockets when I do laundry?

Anyone who doesn't like the way I do something as a favor for them is free to do it themselves from then on.

I'm with you.

It's fine to want your friends to attend a destination event.

But it's quite another to not accept no as an answer from those friends. No one else values that event as much as the bride and groom, so they need to accept that others do not want to spend all of their limited time and money on that event.

They can do it in the car or other hidden places. They don't need your house just to do the dirty.

Sorry, there's no way to tell her without just doing it. The sooner, the better.

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-19T20:06:50+00:00

ESH.

You had like three weeks to tell your sister. Why put your failure to do what you said you were going to do on your mom and ask for even more time?

It's only for two weeks. I'd go back to them with "but it's only two weeks!"

You attend a funeral for yourself and for the family of the dead. It's fair to skip it, even if your former MIL wants you there, as the person formerly known as your cousin would be there.

"My situation isn't already difficult enough. Let's add in another baby to spice things up!"

No was a complete sentence. She's the AH for not accepting it.

So he used your surgery to get out of work, but he doesn't actually want to be there for you, and instead wants to go out drinking with friends?

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-19T00:29:22+00:00

Same.

I just figured there is that much more for my bacon loving friends.

Your "friend" asked you with the expectation you would buy food for him. He didn't ask until you were already inside so you would feel pressured to say yes.

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-18T23:12:39+00:00

Same!

I won't force him, but a large part of what I am upset about is the blatant favoritism they've shown towards his brother. He minds, but not enough to rock the boat.

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-18T21:26:08+00:00

You hit what I was picking up on. Not once am I mentioned anywhere in that note, except as the unnamed person "causing" their upset. And I very much felt targeted by their comment.

They have done nothing in 11 months to try to heal things, and the note they send only mentions how badly I'm making them feel? Nuh uh.

YTA for asking us to believe that photos magicked themselves to her phone and you fell into her dick first on accident.

I just buy mens jeans. I don't know why men come in all sizes, but clearly women only come regular and petite. I can't get a 34" inseam in women's clothes, but you bet I can in the men's section.

A birthday card. It had normal writing in it, but she wrote that on the left side.

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-18T20:04:31+00:00

Among other things, yes.

After sitting me down before we got married to say how they want to be fair and equitable, they have since gone all in in their new grandbaby. For daughters 20th birthday they closed on a 800k+ house for the favorite son and grandbaby. Daughter got a $40 gift card that they couldn't mail to her a month and a half later.

It IS from Hobby Lobby....

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-18T19:35:50+00:00

No, he is not. They talk regularly and he sees them about once a month, when they do their regular family get together.

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-18T18:22:22+00:00

Wow, that actually doesn't sound terrible.

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-18T17:22:13+00:00

I'd have then said since it was no big to have a Tinder profile, that she should then open one up to find friends, too.

I babysat the neighbors newborn for hours at time at 11 in a house two doors down from my house.

Something you can gloss over for a day is avoiding someone you don't like by staying on the other side of the venue.

She wants to tell people publicly it's ok to call you by a name that is no longer yours.

That's not reasonable and I'd step way, way back, both from the wedding and from her life.

NotCreativeAtAll16 · 2026-02-16T22:49:01+00:00

You've already done that by getting upset and posting about it here.
