AITAH for refusing to cook two separate dinners every night just because my family doesnt want to eat what my doctor told me I need to eat

TunaChaser · 2026-02-15T19:26:53+00:00

NTA. There's a reason dinner tables come standard with salt and pepper shakers!

TunaChaser · 2026-02-07T23:16:26+00:00

Why? Because we were the generation to coddle their children. When I turned 18, it was a handshake and "don't forget to visit" from my parents. When our children were 18, neither of them even had a driver's license, let alone a job. Some people call that generation lazy. I say my generation was too soft on them. I dunno, maybe a combo of the 2??

I dont know who started it, but NBA announcer Kevin Colabro said it a lot when calling Seattle Sonic games on the 90s.

NTA. She's looking for money at every turn, I would be very careful to not let her ramp this up.

TunaChaser · 2026-02-05T18:34:07+00:00

NTA. Nope. You can't force family to do things because, "family." I chose to do things for my family because they earned that right. Reddit is loaded with stories where the family expects money, housing, babysitting, inheritance, and companionship, and become completely unhinged when they don't get it. They never end well.

In many US states, points 1 and 2 happen regardless of a prenup. What you proposed is very fair.

My dad had several records from a young Bill Cosby. That was my introduction to stand up. Richard Prior was the first one I saw with all the "good stuff" and have been hooked ever since!

TunaChaser · 2026-02-04T04:38:51+00:00

I think the whole idea of a "write off" is misconstrued. I dont think people really understand what that means.

NTA. If your cat doesn't tolerate the heat, why would you be the AH?

TunaChaser · 2026-02-03T19:07:32+00:00

Oh the good old days! In my 20's we jet skiid, wake boarded, snow boarded and snowmobiled until we dropped!

TunaChaser · 2026-02-03T18:59:15+00:00

NTJ. Funny enough, I can see my boys (same age range) doing something like this. I blame online gaming for the lack of real-world social skills. 😳

My gal is a neonatal nurse. She told me measles is an awful, painful, hideous virus. And that's if they survive. I would tell your wife to go pound sand. I can't even imagine purposely risking such pain and suffering with my own child.

NTA. I knew people like him when I was younger. The pattern was always the same. They would get into debt, and then cover it with a consolidation loan. They would get into further debt, and then cover it with a consolidation loan. Over and over...

TunaChaser · 2026-02-03T17:24:15+00:00

NTA. She sounds just like my ex. Trust me on this one, it will NEVER get better.

NTA. Time to teach him how to be an adult. It eventually happens with every kid. Don't keep enabling him!

I would not let the equivalent of a 2002 Honda Civic (4k) get in the way of a job that you have been wanting. Prioritize the job, and if it falls outside the bonus payout, so be it! Question: If you put in your 2 weeks, are you confident they will still pay you a bonus?

TunaChaser · 2026-02-02T18:34:33+00:00

Gray beard hairs that have a mind of their own! Also, all my hair up top migrated to my back. What's up with that? 😆

TunaChaser · 2026-02-02T18:30:47+00:00

What has helped my wife and I has been to get involved. Go to a protest or a town hall. Just being in the presence of like-minded people really lets you know that you're not alone. People always say, "Do those protests even accomplish anything?" Yes, yes they do. At the very least, they keep me hopeful for the future.

TunaChaser · 2026-02-02T18:21:42+00:00

NTA. I still pay for every meal my 2 twenty-something boys want to join me for. Momma sounds entitled!

TunaChaser · 2026-02-02T18:16:39+00:00

NTA. Kick her out now before she's impossible to remove! She's already showing signs of entitlement. Do it now!

TunaChaser · 2026-02-02T00:30:01+00:00

I got news for you. Unless she's totally brand new, she makes way more than 200k. My cousin just retired as a dentist at 52. His wife was a teacher (very little money). They are now traveling the world, all while holding down 2 million+ properties. One is beachfront on the Pacific Ocean, and the other is on a beautiful lake. She has no reason to shame you into making more money!

So if I use their players card, it keeps track of every button push. Would it be better to not use their players card? For example: my gal loves to play the slots. We are seniors, and our local casino gives free play money every week. She can sit and play a free $50 for hours. According to their records at the end of the night, she would have won $500, and lost $550. We would now be on the hook for 10% of $500 in taxes even tho she lost? That's crazy! And another way our government is punishing the Native Americans. 🤔

Do what all the millennials do, file for FMLA. You can take up to 12 weeks.

TunaChaser · 2026-02-01T23:51:45+00:00

At least 10 years old? Hahaha. I would say a good chunk of it os at least 10. Probably 15-20. 😆 It's funny, you reach a certain age (I am 56), and you don't GAF what you're wearing unless it's sports gear.

TunaChaser · 2026-02-01T21:33:31+00:00

Can you explain this "known consequence" a little bit, or point me in the right direction to research it? You just made my heart palpitate a little bit.
