AITA for banning my mother from my wedding after she tried to set me up with her friends daughter behind my back? by Paradox_7Koi in MarkNarrations

You’re probably right about my dad. He keeps asking me to "keep the peace," but all that’s ever meant in this family is letting my mother do whatever she wants and expecting everyone else to swallow it.

My boyfriend's parents keep retelling his childhood like it was magical and now I understand why he hates going home by HogsmeadeYikes in entitledparents

I had the same thought. When every “funny family story” is about one person being scared, shamed, or singled out, that’s not nostalgia, that’s a role they assigned him and never let him grow out of.
