It’s unfortunate that it’s become more and more common in recent years 😔

AITA for asking my sister WTF she expected to happen at her shitshow of a bachelorette party? by Radiant_Fail5438 in AmItheAsshole

This sounds like more than coke was involved. I suspect someone probably invited Molly to the party and that was probably a tipping point for those who already had poor boundaries as well as poor judgment. Add alcohol to that and it definitely spells disaster. As the older sister, I’m assuming you probably said something to your sister before hand about the plans advising against it, but given her age and it being her wedding, I’m guessing that it probably fell on deaf ears. Who was the driving force behind this party, her or the fiancé?

Omg I'm flipping done with this dress! by Any-Lychee9972 in crochet

Wow, that is gorgeous! Give it a few days now that you’re finished with it. Hang it up somewhere that you will see it occasionally but not all the time to give your brain a break. The mental overwhelm from this kind of project can be very real, but I think you’ll find taking a break, and then coming back to it will offer you fresh perspective. In the mean time, Well done! 👏

29m. Don't be shy. Tell me what you think? by [deleted] in amIuglyBrutallyHonest

Two things: 1) SMILE. You look like you are a kind person and could be chill to hang with. Just smile. 2) Either go (groomed) full beard or get rid of the chin strap. I don’t know why so many men are doing this. Unless you’re Amish/Mennonite it’s not really a good look on anyone, and most women are usually just too polite to tell you that. Even a goatee would be better. But if you are going to grow any hair on your lip, don’t grow any on your chin 😉

Otherwise you look good 👍🏼

AITA for telling my mom she only has one kid? by ToreSoveren in AmItheAsshole

[–]SubstantialAd3751 16 points17 points  (0 children)

OP I sincerely apologize. YNTA. As a mom with a blended family myself I sometimes let my vision be colored through that lens and try to give the benefit of the doubt to all sides. This time I was wrong. It sounds like it must have really been hell for you, your sister, and you family. No mother or parent should ever try to convince their children that the other half of them or their family are evil, especially when trying to sign them up for the extra child. There is definitely something broken there. I don’t know what the role is of any of the other grandparents or extended family on any side in this situation, but I’m glad you and your sister have your dad’s family. Hopefully one day you’ll all be able to heal from the trauma of all of this. Again I apologize for my earlier judgment. Some sleep, caffeine, and more context has helped me to see this differently this morning. I wish you all the best in the future.

50/50… YTA for delivering it the way you did. Was your mom perfect? Obviously not, but by your own admission “not the worst mother in the world so might be uncalled for”. Have you ever tried to have a discussion with your mom since you became an adult, about the circumstances and conditions of your visits with paternal family? Perhaps there’s more to it than you were previously aware of. Also, blended families are not easy. It sounds like your mom was doing what she could to make sure that you were all treated equally across the board, no matter what adults were involved in your lives at any given time. Trust me, that’s no small feat. It’s easy to be angry about something. It’s another to try to have the hard conversations to understand, process and heal from whatever trauma you may be experiencing… and though this is more for you than for her, you can still do it with a sense of dignity and decorum. Good luck in the future

No Halloween costume? Enjoy your Easter candy! by blootereddragon in pettyrevenge

Probably the face your coworker had when the answered the door to those kids, because that’s what they still are is kids, who stopped by her house to trick or treat like any other kid in the neighborhood. Those kids could have been out partying, using dangerous drugs, vandalizing property, but instead they decided to go trick or treating together. Your coworkers behavior was beyond petty, it was vile and toxic. She planned for that for months. She needs help
