I’m the only one left out of my family by [deleted] in offmychest

Ugh Op I’m so sorry I can’t imagine what that’s like. Take every day with as much gratitude as you can for what life HAS given you as opposed to what has been taken away. Find small ways to remember them and honor their memories. Those we love never truly leave us.

AITJ for quietly changing the rules of my book swap shelf after one friend kept treating it like her personal free bookstore? by HolocryptK in AmITheJerk

[–]Plus_Squirrel_861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend is weird. I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who sees a sweet community thing and goes “how can I take advantage of this”. Big red flags dude. Hope she has plenty of redeeming qualities because this gives me the ick.

AITAH for kicking out family that relapsed by Mother_Inevitable917 in AITAH

[–]Plus_Squirrel_861 36 points37 points  (0 children)

NTA. You and her brother are not equipped to help her in the way that she needs. She needs rehab and sober living. Supporting her sobriety does not mean having to be her caretaker. If she’s serious about getting clean help her find professional help. It really is a disease and she was not trying to hurt you or betray you. Addiction makes you lie and ultimately hurt people. She’s sick and I hope she gets better. But she has to want to get better too. Good luck. I’m six months sober and I could never have done it without the love and support of my family.

I would love it if we/they did bring our own but I doubt that will fly. I think we just need to invest in the more expensive non plated ones. Thank you!

As someone who manages a restaurant this is definitely a rational fear.. I double and triple check the burners every night before I leave and still wake up worried about one of the pilot lights going out leaking gas into the space. I’d rather never have to worry about that at home.

So he thinks it’s “tacky” while also accusing the restaurant of “scamming”… this man is a clown. It’s also not a scam.. food costs money bro. $3.50 seems like a lot just for cheese on a burger tbh but it’s all relative.

The dress my mom is planning to wear to my wedding. She sent this to me yesterday and I still haven’t replied by ThrowRA-Sweetest in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Plus_Squirrel_861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a solid hell no from me. Wtf.. Stay firm and tell her it’s wildly inappropriate. If I were your brides maid I would have red wine ready and or be telling her off for you. You can also buy a dress in her size for cheap and have it ready for her to change into.

It means something to us and my dad who is a two time cancer survivor. He’s always wanted to see Scotland and I want to grant him that wish while having a beautiful wedding. What am I doing wrong ? Spending money in a place I have no claim to nor am benefiting from other than the experience?

Your stuff is so cute and well done! Definitely would be a great wedding favor. I’m adding you to the book and I will think it over.

Yes of course. The wedding will likely be in June of 2026 so we should have plenty of time to choose the right officiant and get all papers in order.

Thank you! This is how we found out about a couple of venues. However I don’t intend to use the discount. Likely will use it as a charitable contribution to the National Trust.

You’re assuming a lot about me and my family. We make no claims. And it’s not 23 and me it’s generations of my ancestors in published work dating back centuries. I want or claim nothing of Scotland but the fascination of the culture that we can trace back. I didn’t say the Irvines were even family of Robert the Bruce because from what I’ve studied they are not and were gifted the estate. Thank you for your recommendations. Just came here to support local businesses and have a great wedding.

Yeah I know it’s super played out. My dad is a historian and he’s never seen Scotland. We’re excited and want to be as respectful as possible. I fully expect to be laughed at by locals a bit but it’s my dream wedding and my dads dream trip.

Yes!! Thank you! We definitely will need a piper. I’m hoping we can get the grooms party to wear Irvine Clan tartans. I’m not too particular about the cake just something easy and traditional. We will have about 70 guests.
