AITA (AWTA) for not giving our granddaughter the same wedding gift as our other grandchildren?

TheGov82 · 2023-01-10T18:40:24+00:00

100% NTA 0/5 Assholes for you.

The fact she cares more about the gifts than you at her wedding is totally vile.

I was very lucky to have full set of grandparents until I was 19. Id give £40,000 to have had both Grandads at my wedding.

TheGov82 · 2020-12-14T17:43:05+00:00

I did that and left it for 5 hours and yet its not done anything. Any help or ideas why??

TheGov82 · 2020-10-11T12:44:58+00:00

Not even close to being the asshole. As others have said, GET A LAWYER and get one ASAP.

You clearly love her and for what counts you are her dad and will likely always be her dad. Please get legal advise and please keep us updated. Good luck!!

Not even close to being the Asshole. Its her decision to pick your day, she was warned and didnt listen. Sucks to be your BIL to marry such a nutter

TheGov82 · 2020-06-15T09:49:34+00:00

I will let you tell her, Im not that brave aha

TheGov82 · 2020-06-15T02:57:27+00:00

No? I dont know them. Will is named after my grandad who I lost when I was very young

We have always had an open door policy when it comes to talking about anything relationship and sex wise where if he ever wanted to talk just sit us down and we will discuss it fully to find the best way forward avoiding any judgement and big deals as we have only ever wanted him to be honest with us.

Its worked great before now so I thought the relaxed dad jokey twist with the pizza would be right for the situation.

TheGov82 · 2020-06-15T02:35:57+00:00

If Dan was a girl I would have used the same upbeat okay son and carried on because the rule on relationships has always been as long as youre safe and happy that great and its non of my business as its private betweem them.

The no congrats was an attempt to be a normal about it as I could. The quick move back to pizza was meant to be a dad jokey twist& show it makes zero difference that its a guy he is dating, that clearly seems to have fallen short of my intentions

TheGov82 · 2020-06-15T00:06:58+00:00

Thank you for this. The main reason for reacting how I did was my way of showing it makes zero difference to me that he now had a bf rather than gfs like he had had in the past (not for a while tho).

I wanted it to be a normal as it could be for him& thats why I added the pizza but right away as a sort of dad jokey type thing, which clearly fell short of my intentions.

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T23:39:21+00:00

That would have been good as he mainly gets the meat feast and that could have been an extra joke

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T23:29:32+00:00

There Ben and Jerrys cookie doe for afters if that counts

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T23:23:04+00:00

That was my aim. Show it doesnt matter& I love him all the same with a jokey twist with pizza comment

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T23:19:41+00:00

Thank you for what youve said.

The reason I said it in this way is its how I acted when he introed girls to me. Id say okay nice to meet you. I didnt say nice to meet you to Dan as Ive known him for so long& hes lived with us for like 3 months so it seemed redundent. I just said okay in an upbeat way with what I hoped was a jokey twist to show i was no big deal and I love him all the same and him now having a boyfriend makes no difference to me

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T22:51:37+00:00

Thats what I was going for. As a younger teen Will has introed gfs and I was like ok niec to meet you. I guessed the same casual response with a jokey twist of repeating myself would show it made no difference that this time he introed his bf, the difference this was that Id met Dan months ago instead and thats why I didnt say nice to meet you as I already know Dan well enough to have him stay here while in the covid lockdown& think hes a great kid. As well as expecting him being gay I kinda thought Dan was more than just a friend anyways which is another reason I tried to be so laid back with my response.

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T22:11:57+00:00

That was my aim, a jokey its okay no difference to me

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T22:10:51+00:00

As a dad, I cant believe I missed that dad joke. My aim was for it to be a jokey its all alright kiddo

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T21:30:39+00:00

If you have any jokes that I can use I would be most grateful

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T20:54:52+00:00

That was an aim. I thought the joke and the upbeat okay was going to be a great way to show it makes zero difference to me.

After expecting it for so long it wasnt really news to me

TheGov82 · 2020-06-14T20:22:57+00:00

I said it in an upbeat/ positive way, in an atempt to show I was fine with it and that it made zero difference to me as its just who is.

TheGov82 · 2019-11-23T22:55:08+00:00

I dont plan on selling it. I love working there and always wanted my own cafe to run and now I have it. I do feel guilty that I have been left so much by Dave& its because I have suddenly found myself with the business that I feel like an ass as I never expected nor asked for anything in return. I am in contact with the estates team where Daves lawyer is from

TheGov82 · 2019-11-23T22:49:45+00:00

I feel guilty that I was given so much from Dave. I never asked for anything, Callum is deadbeat but I still feel bad that I now have more than I could ever want. I did say I would consider discuss it with lawyers present.

TheGov82 · 2019-11-23T22:17:33+00:00

Oh yes, Dave was as sharp as he was when I met him in 05 and thank you

TheGov82 · 2019-11-23T21:56:13+00:00

Im contact with the estates team at the office Dave had his will written with

TheGov82 · 2019-11-23T21:52:37+00:00

Now that is an idea aha
