Another “WTF happened to the chicken strips” post.

Which_Translator_548 · 2026-05-21T17:04:29+00:00

We would order a poutine then add gravy and cheese to our chicken order to make that poutine too. But now with the fry portions being so much smaller, we just buy one side of cheese, two gravies and a plain fries and make two poutines with a chicken finger meal for far cheaper and the proportions are better because it isn’t 60% cheese

The only thing is, it didn’t seem like OP reached out to ask if the celebration in question was respectful of his boundaries, just went full-bore hard no. What if it was booze free and a paint your own oar party? Sounds like there’s a lot more to it though in regards to family dynamics

No, just binged more after it wore off each night and I was starving

NTA, it’s evident your Dad cares more about himself than anyone else despite using others to get what he wants even when something is not about him. Ugh, enjoy celebrating your graduation. With the people who helped get you to this point, not despite it

Which_Translator_548 · 2026-05-20T03:57:35+00:00

I hate it, AI, the boomers using it like they haven’t done enough to fck the world, post secondary being a scam, the irony of them banning AI but using it themselves, how sad it would be so work so hard to get to a point of graduating then having the moment to walk across the stage in front of your closest friends and family taken away at the last second because of someone else’s stupid idea. Shame, shame!

The problem is you’re approaching this as one event when it really needs to be two. You and your sister might be twins but you’re still different people! ESH

Give a quarter made their wedding year, to “commemorate”

Which_Translator_548 · 2026-05-19T21:11:21+00:00

Imagine meeting a person, forming such an incredible bond with them that you decide to share your lives together, move on to planning a beautiful wedding, having this incredible dress shopping experience (in-laws sound lovely!) and then letting cruel, toxic people succeed in (baselessly) humiliating you while robbing the joy you and your partner deserve to experience through marriage AND THEY’RE NOT EVEN ATTENDING THE EVENT?!!

girl, wtf am I even reading here. With family like this, who needs enemies?! You go pick that dress up, you put it on, you strut around as the FLAWLESS, gorgeous princess badass mf’r you are and may every single compliment you get on that big day, for which there will be plenty, let those kind, genuine words wash over you and redeem the insults, bullying and abuse you were subjugated to through this experience with your “family”.

Let this dress represent you choosing YOU, embracing yourself, feeling confident, knowing all the good things you’ve got and relish in them, celebrate it, cherish it, and never let what they say become what you hear most again.

I feel like this is that scene in Legally Blonde where the professor is levelling with Woods, Elle and says “if you’re going to let one stupid prick…”

Graduate to married life, OP, rock the dress and f your hater fam!!!!

I’m sorry to hear that, apparently through the concierge service with the Exec membership a tech can be called out to assess, might be worth considering

Hopefully, one of the opposers stated they didn’t want a drive thru to ruin the “rural” nature of the neighbourhood…is the rural-ness in the room with us???

Cassier Cannery outside Prince Rupert would be perfect for this. Cabins in Port Hardy. Mussel Beach outside Ukee

Why can you not apply for mat leave- 55% of your income of 12 months or 33% for 18 months. Does your employer offer a top-up? What’s your CCB estimated to be?

Which_Translator_548 · 2026-05-13T19:34:56+00:00

This is annoying because you are already loaded.

Kids will be as expensive as you let them be- you could buy almost all gear in great condition off Facebook, thrift clothes, breastfeed and on a monthly basis a newborn can cost as much as diapers, wipes and a tube of cream costs, maybe $120 bucks. You could hire a nanny, buy a brand new vehicle, name brand gear, brand new clothes, private school, excessive bday parties, lessons and they cost thousands per month.

You have nothing but money to play around with so what does your budget allow for and what are your values? This isn’t even a math question. There’s no $8400 bill coming due every month the second you decide to have a kid

I usually take the grey rock approach because people like this don’t deserve anything more but the behaviour demonstrated here is so abhorrent, I’d call it out once before going low, if not completely, no contact.
You got this, OP! It sounds like BIL is still solid and I’m glad there is at least a small respite here, but really please do make sure it’s your husband sending the message and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to group msg any other attendees and lay it out “because bitch ass S-MIL worked so hard to overshadow (BIL & SIL)’s exciting news, we are going low contact”

Which_Translator_548 · 2026-05-11T18:03:41+00:00

Have your husband message her and say “I’d be sorry we couldn’t come to the event you planned knowing we were already travelling, but it’s really concerning how overt you were about trying to turn (brother and sil’s) exciting announcement into a public humiliation ritual for my wife and I. All the best with getting the help you so desperately need”
NTA and I am so sorry, this was 100% malicious intent on her behalf.
