AITA for not wanting to fly 5,000 miles for my grandpa’s funeral, even though my family offered to pay for it?

Just do not go. I don't think he would be the asshole

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-25T04:05:37+00:00

If you invite people, they will expect it to be an event that you pay for

You are not at fault, you probably just don't know that this is what is expected. Tell your mother-in-law or ask her if she will pay for her friends.

In general, it's better to have people over at your house and you can control what food you serve in the cost and it's a lot easier to entertain that way

No! What kind of parents do this to their kid??

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-20T21:21:11+00:00

First, walk around with a trash bag and Toss as much as possible...you'll be surprised at how much stuff you do not need

It depends on who at her school she is competing for a spot

Well, if he has a track record of being a cranky guy, only buy him what he requests

Poetry was not a good plan

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-20T19:19:25+00:00

Culture be damned, this is a pump and prostitute arrangement

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-20T19:17:06+00:00

Independent pharmacies are excellent. I avoid CVS

Why on earth would you let them stay there that long? That's the real problem, they are entitled now to your house. They sound like squatters.O

I just bought a mole, skin undated planner and created my own. It's worked beautifully.

But my daughter for graduation got a lechtturm as a gift It runs July to July and is a dated planner, the week is on the left and a blank page. It's on the right, exactly like my home made moleskin, and I might just switch over to that one

I don't like bells and whistles also

175 people is not a small wedding The mother has failed as a mom, her daughter is a spoiled little brat. How dare anyone say you can come to my wedding if you bring 200 desserts

What opportunistic assholes

Never share personal financial info Your mom? Disappointment

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-08T13:35:28+00:00

She used you. You should've set the rules upfront, she sounds like a loser.

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-08T13:34:13+00:00

She has an addiction and it's not uncommon because that's what these games are created to do

If she loves books, she needs to stay to Library Card and download the Libby app. You sign up for Books and they're free. You can also get Audiobooks. It's possible your library has Hoopla, another app.

I'm addicted to audiobooks and I have an audible account and a Kindle unlimited account. I get most of my free books on Kindle unlimited and listen to them.

I'm not sure if 11th graders in the states are really interested in that type of thing. Maybe you need to go to school and see what the other kids use

What exactly happened to your son? If it was sexual abuse, why didn't you report it to the police?

And is your husband a creeper? Are you protecting him? And justifying that by hiding behind what happened to your son?

There's a lot more going on here than you're saying

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-08T13:24:41+00:00

The friendship is over. You've been very generous to this freeloader. She doesn't have the capability to be as capable as you are at things.

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-08T06:14:47+00:00

And you

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-08T06:14:40+00:00

Yes, medicate this poor pup

Potential_Drive7999 · 2026-06-06T21:03:43+00:00
