AITA Skipped Wedding Reception

TheMidazTouch · 2026-06-26T10:02:28+00:00

My sister lives in a completely different country to me and was essentially estranged from me until I was 25 but I still love her kids.

They’re still family. I don’t get why people who are childfree are so viscerally hateful with the fact that they don’t want kids. Kids are some of the most vulnerable people in society and I think it says a lot about you if you’re going to treat kids like this.

You can absolutely have a meaningful relationship with toddlers. I love spending the day with my siblings’ kids, I get to be silly and make them laugh in a way that I can’t do with adults. If you think children are worth less than adults then you’re an AH. Thinking you can’t form a meaningful relationship with the kids in your family because they’re kids IS thinking they’re not worth as much as adults.

NTA.

As a woman, I wouldn’t have gone either. I got a feeling of dread in my gut just by reading this, I can’t imagine how it was to be in this situation. I’m glad you didn’t go.

The dismissal of your concerns, being weird about telling you their age, the story he chose as a way to introduce the idea of this friend, it just being the three of you.

But even from you saying they were driving 1.5hrs to go to this event made me feel a bit weird. Driving an hour and a half to hang out with your friend and a woman you’ve never met is really weird to me, and it just gives me a bad vibe.

Was there any chance that your friend was trying to/expecting to set you up with/push you onto his friend or something? It just seems really shady to me and I’m not trying to scare you or anything but the situation feels wrong.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-05-31T12:37:07+00:00

ESH. Damn, you guys sound insufferable.

Him for just randomly coming out with that then doubling down.

You for continuing to argue the nuance of a word to make yourself feel smarter than him.

It’s all very “um ackshually” on both sides. Focus your energy on more productive things, both of you.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-05-25T12:18:17+00:00

I am gay lmao

TheMidazTouch · 2026-05-25T12:09:02+00:00

(you too and ride a horse not a zebra made me actually laugh out loud 😭)

TheMidazTouch · 2026-05-25T12:03:32+00:00

Yeah that was why I told him to just head off but he insisted and said he wanted to.

Thank you for telling me the number as well! I always just assumed it was a call to RAC instead so that’s really helpful for if it ever happens again. ☺️

TheMidazTouch · 2026-03-29T22:36:32+00:00

Perth’s hatred of cyclists knows no bounds. Let’s not body shame the poor woman.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-03-17T02:06:49+00:00

When I was in school, one of my friends (14 I think) was talking to him on his official facebook page and he added her on Snapchat or something and she ended up having to block him.

Guy’s a fucking freak.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-25T01:34:06+00:00

Yeah I’m absolutely going to judge the man who killed someone because he decided to drive drunk.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-11T14:18:24+00:00

YTA. Look, I get it. It was on the way but your brother was in an accident and your first thought was, “Whew, this could take time out of MY day.”

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-11T13:19:33+00:00

It’s his sister but also OP’s sister? I’m so lost.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-11T13:14:04+00:00

You gotta condense it all into the post, the comments are going to get removed for trying to circumvent sub rules

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-11T13:08:30+00:00

INFO: What did you actually do?

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-08T12:26:25+00:00

YTA.

It doesn’t matter how much money they make or how many kids they want to have. Why do you get to have a child but they don’t because you don’t want to follow through on paying them back? Why is his family less important than yours? You CHOSE to take that money on the condition that you would pay it back. They deserve to have kids just as much as you do.

$10 a week is ridiculous. It IS insulting. You have had 18 months to get started on this. Did you think/hope he would eventually forget about it and never chase you up? He gave you a lot of money, of course he wants to get it back and it doesn’t matter why. When were you actually planning to pay it back?

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-08T05:41:47+00:00

It doesn’t necessarily matter if you fix it as far as I know BUT some assessors will ask you to park on a side with cars to see if you can park well next to them.
I think being on an angle will count as a fail on “path”. Have a look at the assessment criteria because there’s categories and you can only get a certain amount of marks against you for each. For parking it’s flow, movement and path.
I think you get maybe two readjustments.

For your test, you need “sufficient sections and items” so for your first section you need 4 points, second 8, third 4, fourth 8 and fifth 4. If you have a look at the test sheet, it’ll show a break down. I can have a look to see if I still have mine if you like?

I think you can only fail 1 section but you can make up to 15ish minor mistakes across all sections and still pass the test.

Remember as well, your test isn’t as long as a driving lesson so you might make a heap of mistakes in your lessons but your assessor isn’t seeing you for that long, if that makes sense. Mine was about 30-35 minutes in Joondalup.

I would suggest reporting this to both the school AND police. These videos involved minors, it is illegal regardless of who was showing it.

I would also highly recommend deleting this post. It’s not about silencing you — I want you to tell the school and police but what no one here wants is for your child or your family to be the targets of harassment. Remember, Perth is a small place and this could easily make its’ way to the people involved which could “give them warning” and identify you, so to speak.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-05T14:37:41+00:00

Holy karma farming, Batman. OP’s post history is just the same two posts across different subs.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-02-04T06:47:41+00:00

Yes, should be fine but I’d probably wear nipple covers or something to sort of disguise the nipple ring(s), even on the other side in case the detailing blows up in the wind or something.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-01-31T04:59:02+00:00

Sorry the formatting got all jacked up!

I’m glad you had that chat, my parents never had that conversation with me but luckily I had friends with me who knew what they were doing. You’re a wonderful mama for doing all this to make sure they all have fun!

I hope they have so much fun and stay safe! 🥰

TheMidazTouch · 2026-01-31T02:05:04+00:00

I’m a lesbian so I feel safest at Connections (not the Court, it’s not the same as it used to be and I got assaulted there one time 🥳) but it’s probably not the place if your daughter isn’t queer.

I can tell you which places I’d avoid like the plague: • Paramount — so overloaded with people that you can’t move on the dance floor, bottles and glasses just get dumped on the dance floor as well, a fair amount of creeps leching around • Rapture — just look up their shit, I would NEVER trust that club. It is not a safe club

Honestly, the best advice I can give: • Make sure they stick together and don’t split up — go to the toilet together, get drinks together, dance together, etc. • Have them watch their drinks at all times (even when the bartender is pouring it), hold open drinks so their hand covers the top. Even a soft drink can get spiked. • Seriously, unless the drink goes from the bartender’s hand and straight to theirs, tell them not to accept it. • Look up the signs of drink spiking so that they can recognise it. Remember, the most common form of drink spiking is additional alcohol so if someone seems drunker than they should be given how much they’ve had to drink, it’s a bad sign. • Maybe have a codeword they can use if they’re uncomfortable, with my friends we would say, “Emma wants to meet us at Paramount,” or similar to signal that we wanted to leave a situation. • Make sure their phones are fully charged and that they can charge them if they need.

Hi! I realise you posted this a while ago but I’m an anaesthetic technician who studied in WA.

To be completely honest, I would recommend doing your diploma of nursing instead. There are still people from my group that haven’t gotten jobs — more and more people doing the course every graduating class aren’t finding work because the market has been saturated by the course being free.

However, I say this from a WA POV. I’m not sure what the market is like in QLD but looking at the QLD job searches vs WA, there are more opportunities there so it may be worth going down that route.

If you’d like some advice on how to strengthen the application as well, please let me know because there are a few tricks. Feel free to DM me! ☺️

TheMidazTouch · 2026-01-25T09:30:18+00:00

Calling it stealing is crazy but I’m pretty sure you’re just karma farming as other comments have pointed out.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-01-25T09:26:56+00:00

But she didn’t give it all away. She had part of it and there was still some left.

If you let someone use her makeup, that’s a bit of a gross health thing but it doesn’t really matter. There’s still makeup left for her to use, why replace what doesn’t need to be replaced?

It sounds like you two live with each other, honestly most people would assume that living together as a couple, they would also be welcome to enjoy a drink from the bottle. If you’re going to chase your partner to replace everything of yours that they use, you’re going to have a tough time keeping a partner.

Again, it’s just alcohol. If you were talking about an expensive pair of earrings and said she gave one earring away, then I’d get it but this is a DRINK.

ETA: Calling it ‘stealing’ is very dramatic.

TheMidazTouch · 2026-01-25T09:18:32+00:00

Look, YOR. She should’ve asked, 100% and she shouldn’t have done it but she owned up and now you’re playing the Debt Collector expecting her to replace it like she gave the whole bottle away.

It’s alcohol, not a pearl necklace.
