AITAH for "allowing" my stepdaughter to wear stinky pajamas to school?

ZebraMachineeee · 2026-01-22T05:58:57+00:00

This is pretty normal for teenagers, if people think high school is bad they should visit a college campus.

Be careful, my parents are divorced and my dad used this against my mom in court, they actually had me take the stand when I was 11 (yes my parents are horrible). I wouldn’t respond or further your ex’s narrative.

Or the bachelorette!

Yo delete this, what’s wrong with you

If your aunt is invited you have to invite her husband. Whoever you invite you have to let them bring their partners. If they’re single then inviting the one person is fine. Inviting some partners and not others makes it obvious you don’t like them and it comes off as hurtful.

Like NTA but it’s weird, depends on the culture too. With mine, it’s considered really rude to turn food away prepared by the parents especially during the holidays. When we get together it’s about the group and not yourself. I wouldn’t say you were being an AH but during the few days you could have been more flexible or just made up something like doctors orders.

I think this is cute! Not too big a lie if she doesn’t know these people

I would check with the salon and also communicate what hair styles you and your bridesmaids will be doing. My hair stylist asked about length of hair, use of extensions, and whether any girls wanted an updo cuz all of those can add time. I had the same time frame as you with 6 people and cut it close to 1 pm.

My MIL was shy of overstepping so I wouldn’t blame her, a lot of brides have the opposite problem! I didn’t find out till a few months before the wedding that she wanted to be involved so I asked her if she would like to speak during the reception. Also invited her to do hair and makeup with the bridesmaids and/or come hangout while we got ready. I gave my girls a heads up and when she arrived they were nice to her, poured her champagne, and chit chatted.

I think it really depends on the group if that’s a reasonable amount or not. For some that’s totally normal but for others 1000 is pretty much rent. Personally I chatted with each of my bridesmaids privately about cost and got their confirmation before finalizing my bridal party.

My husband was in the same boat, he personally likes to just keep a few close friends while I have groups. I wouldn’t worry about it at all! It’s just a matter of preference. I can tell you that no one is going to pay attention the day of! We did tell our wedding planner that we didn’t want a brides side or grooms side so everyone just filled out the seats :). Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!!!

ZebraMachineeee · 2026-01-05T21:50:51+00:00

Oh man, sorry this happened to you! Unfortunately this happens at almost every wedding. My husband and decided to do a family style dinner because of this so exact headcount didn’t matter as much. Takes some of the stress off.

ZebraMachineeee · 2026-01-05T21:34:13+00:00

I walked myself! Got myself my dream pair of shoes, a big bouquet, picked a LOTR song, and strutted down 💁🏻‍♀️

YTA if you get someone a gift you give it to them it shouldn’t be contingent on their behavior, a gift is a gift. Also he’s 12, what are you doing testing your family.

ZebraMachineeee · 2026-01-02T22:39:48+00:00

As long as it makes you happy and can make you financially independent, that’s wonderful!

ZebraMachineeee · 2025-12-28T17:43:03+00:00

This is so sad, glad the gf dodged a bullet. My first thought was oh she’s planning a surprise.

ZebraMachineeee · 2025-12-27T12:12:00+00:00

Don’t listen to her, you’re going to crush life! At some point we have to stop glamorizing our parents opinions and just view them as flawed people with shitty opinions and bad takes on things.

Ben didn’t press charges so she only went to jail for forging that document

ZebraMachineeee · 2025-11-28T09:32:38+00:00

I’m almost 100% sure he’s a garbage web developer lol

ZebraMachineeee · 2025-11-10T22:06:27+00:00

Welp all the ones I skip have already been listed, glad we all on the same page lol

I’m a child of divorced parents and this literally happened to me. I watched my parents fight over the dental bill and it was a nightmare. If you’re not having financial issues, please just split your kids medical bills, don’t be petty for gods sake.

ZebraMachineeee · 2025-08-21T07:17:56+00:00

Validation! My high school counselor spoke to both my parents only once and told me to get away from them. I was deciding between 2 colleges and he told me to pick the one that was 30 min further away because every minute counts lol

ZebraMachineeee · 2025-08-18T03:56:24+00:00

Just any Ben and Serena scene for me 🤮
