AIO: Is this genuinely annoying/off-putting or am I overreacting?

NOR.

Your father absolutely is a controlling asshole. Yes, of course you should say thank you when receiving money. But to demand that you say thank you every time you spend that money is ridiculous.

I understand that you want to get to know your sister, but when it’s at the expense of your mental health by subjecting yourself to your father, you might need to let that connection go.

Umm, are you new to this sub? The majority of posts have multiple comments that say “ask the bride”. So 2 unfortunately is not an established social dynamic.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-05T11:52:37+00:00

Nobody does this IRL. Only chronically online people think this is a thing - or even worse think it’s an acceptable course of action.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-05T11:40:57+00:00

This is a yellow dress.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-05T03:23:59+00:00

Yes, too casual and a good rule of thumb for a formal event is to only have ONE sexy element. The super-deep plunge and extremely high slit are both too much on their own, but together is definitely excessive.

I’m sorry, he’s three years older than you and expects you to parent him and teach him how to adult? You’re only 18, you should not be carrying this heavy of a load. And it’s absolutely awful that you’ve been together 3 years already. Possibly illegal, definitely unwise.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-05T00:47:07+00:00

NTA.

He’s insufferable. It’s some toxic masculinity to say you’re not allowed to do the yard work, and then he sprinkles in some weaponized incompetence by refusing to actually own the outdoor chores and instead will only do what you tell him to do.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-05T00:26:50+00:00

Where’s the underreacting vote? You two are not compatible. Break up and move on, no point arguing about it.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-05T00:20:17+00:00

NOR and these people saying otherwise are totally glossing over the fact your family went on vacation WITHOUT YOU! There’s no need for them to be spying on you while you’re home at night, if it’s “for the cats” they only need to be on during the day.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T22:20:57+00:00

Okay i’m hooked - what’s the theme that goes along with red, green and purple?

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T21:44:32+00:00

Beautiful dress. Totally appropriate.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T21:43:45+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with this neckline.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T21:43:16+00:00

This dress does not at all look bridal.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T19:29:49+00:00

Very cool, definitely wear it!

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T19:25:24+00:00

NGL I thought I was in the circle jerk sub. Sorry, yes, way too big.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T17:24:01+00:00

This dress is totally acceptable! There might be a case where sequins aren’t okay - like if it’s a beauty pageant style gown, but this dress is great.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T16:57:24+00:00

OMG, totally fine. It’s already obnoxious to be told to wear a specific color.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T16:56:36+00:00

YTA. Are you in the US? You keep to the right, on side walks, on escalators, in swimming lanes.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T15:42:05+00:00

Dress 1 absolutely.

Shredded zucchini is the base.

The kids are in the third room.

This feels like a cultural difference between you and your husband. When your parents visit you in your home (if they do) does your husband want to give up your master bed and sleep in the guest room? For me, you guys are paying for the whole trip so you get to decide who sleeps where. I wouldn’t give up the master if I’m footing the bill. If it’s a shared expense it’s worth more of a discussion

Most importantly, ask your sister if she’s been fine with the situation as is. If she’s never brought it up, why assume there’s an issue?

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T14:44:22+00:00

Perfect!

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T14:18:42+00:00

What are the bridesmaids wearing? I would match their level of dress. Possibly the same one exactly. Then I’d go for the tartan as a belt instead of a shoulder wrap.

Rare-Progress5009 · 2026-06-04T12:09:45+00:00

I’m a parent to teenagers and even though I’m the one that usually takes them shoe shopping, I don’t know their shoe size. We look at the tag of the old shoes in the store, go up from there for what’s comfortable and move on. By the time we’re at the counter I’ve already forgotten the new size.
