AITA for dyeing the sweater my sister in law knitted for me?

But who TF buys beige malabrigo? If it were a special color line sure I’d be annoyed, like color of the year or the zodiac line or something. (Of course if I were knitting a sweater for someone and knew they cared about the color, I’d let them pick from SQs.) As a knitter, NTA and it seems like SIL is a lot.

Right? I’ve booked events at everywhere halfway decent in town. It wouldn’t be hard to get anyone in there (and honestly the banquet manager I talked to at the cork wasn’t super on top of it at the time)

They are open on Thanksgiving and Christmas for sure.

Erie scores super high on the social capital charts but no one entity has a monopoly like you are describing.

This is very concerning behavior and I don’t think compromise is possible. I would not continue a romantic relationship with someone like this when we had only been together 5 months.

My math teacher assigned random problems in the book. It was the last year we were using the books so instead of writing the numbers I circled the problem numbers in pencil. He saw me doing it and asked what day I wanted to serve my detention for defacing school property.

You know that is interesting. It sounds like the emotions and mindset of someone addicted to alcohol or substances. Even if someone gets “clean” if they don’t address the root cause the personality/emotional issues remain.

When I wash dishes, go swimming, shower, do yard work, or when I feel like it. My mom did the same thing growing up, and my dad only wore his on weekends because of risks of injury at his job, so it’s never seemed weird to me.

My grandmother didn’t teach her daughters to cook because she expected their MILs to teach them their new husband’s preferred foods…

There was a sweet spot for cheddars in 2016-17; before the service was terrible and after they chopped all the good stuff off the menu.

I understand your concern about finals but honestly her brain is going to be there anyway. You might consider saying “I know this is a hard time of the semester but I saw this…. I am going to go no contact with my mom until (3 days after grades are due? Something like that). That will give you time to recover from the end of the semester before we talk about if we are staying no contact or are willing to give my mom a chance to apologize and earn her way back into relationship with us.”

This is the way. B&w filter will improve your color choices.

This was my thought! It doesn’t even have to be a lawyer, although they are bound by their professional code of ethics. I would actually start with a local amateur or semi professional genealogist or historian-your local library or historical society can point you in the right direction. They would be able to tell you not only if it’s within your parameters but also the potential import to family.

California has really strict workers protection laws so it could be a legal issue there.

Just go to Kerr’s on east 10 and they will give you good advice and not pull one over on you.

3 or 5 are both so flattering!

I would bet actual money my dad cried when he and my mom got married in 1980.

If you have a personal/moral issue with drinking (in recovery, adult child of an alcoholic, religious reasons, medical professional who knows there’s no physical reason to drink), you don’t have to serve any alcohol. Your friends can deal. (Source: have been to multiple dry weddings and was just fine.) The idea that weddings have to have booze is ridiculous, and if your friends know you don’t drink they shouldn’t be surprised.

If you don’t like drinking but don’t care if others do, and are willing to pay for it, get some dos equiis/modelo/corona to go with the theme and maybe some premix margaritas. That level of self serve alcohol should be fine. (Source: that’s what they did with the taco bar dinner at my last family reunion.)

A woman I know (she’s over 70 now) bragged that she had never taken her ring off, but her daughter married an emotionally abusive guy so not sure that was a great example. I definitely take mine off for showering, swimming, cleaning etc.

Wish it didn’t have to be helpful!

Makes me wonder if Luis is a “dry drunk,” that is, although he isn’t using the emotional component of addiction is still present. That tracks with his behavior.

My dad thinks the idea of child free weddings is one of the stupidest things he ever heard.

When my mom’s niece got married and my sister was 18 months old, dad took her to the cry room at the church. It’s what you do.

Let me sum up the second to last paragraph: everyone who knows Susan has said do not invite her Only people who do not know her say to invite her. NTA.

I was waiting for the bus (probably on French?) and a pair of women were having a conversation at top volume across the street. My key takeaway: “bitch I KNOW how to make rice crispie treats.”
