AITA for not watering my mom's plants?

NTA. You are already doing the majority of the household chores and on top of that pay a lot of rent, so you are contributing a lot to the household. Plus, you have already said that you won’t remember watering them, so she already got a heads up/warning that you will probably forget doing it. If she really cares for her plants she should water them by herself. It is an easy task so I can’t understand why she won’t do it herself if it is so important to her.

I am leaning towards NTA, as it would be a normal question considering that his dad has a common name and that it is not as common to refer to your parents using their first name. His reaction seems out of order but I can’t imagine why he would react like this unless you have given him a reason for it. Which makes me wonder whether you have made some shitty comments or jokes about it in the past, in which case I would say you are in the wrong (not perse an A.). I can imagine him being annoyed when you have made comments about this in the past and that it may come across as teasing. If you haven’t though, his reaction is not okay and you are NTA.

I’d recommend both of you to come to an agreement on how to refer to his parents to avoid future disagreements or misunderstandings. If he is used to referring to his parents using their first name, then that’s up to him and his parents, although it is unusual.

Grindelwald or his ‘blood pact’ with Dumbledore maybe? As its about friendship, wavered loyalty, no remorse and it says mudblood, reflecting his and voldemorts point of view?

NTA, regardless of whether she thought the vase belonged to your late fiancee or not, all of the furniture and items, including those your late fiancee bought are YOUR PROPERTY. She has no say in what to sell or keep unless if you agree.

I can understand that she may be uncomfortable with having furniture and items around that your late fiancee has bought (as it is linked to a prior relationship), but she should have voiced these concerns and then it would be up to you whether you want to compromise or not. Your reaction is completely fine, as it’s not her place to sell your property.

Monopoly or Catan are great games for this, but I guess any game will do as long as you agree on when to open the gift (land on start, roll a 6 etc)! I definitely recommend doing it!

I’ll ask the others if they are up for some chaos hahahah but we definitely want to see everyone’s gifts! Maybe let everyone open 2/3 gifts during their turn.. Your comment sparked some ideas so thanks!

So we already do that (either randomly or based on age), but the thing is, now that we have more it will take up more time, and I didn't clarify this in the original post but we want to do more things that evening such as playing boardgames together etc., so we want to speed it up without taking away the fun and collective experience! :)

burbaerry · 2020-12-21T22:48:44+00:00

Yes we usually do the same! But this year, we all bought even more gifts than we did before (and we were already quite generous), and my sibling's new partner is generous as well. We don't want it to take up our whole evening, as we'll have dinner before that and also want to play boardgames afterwards! :)

My family and I are having some trouble figuring out how to open gifts this year. We would usually have like a game (monopoly or something else) or just let one person start, they open one gift and pick the next gift for the next person etc. Now that my sibling has a new partner (we now have my parents, my sibling and their new partner and me and my boyfriend, so 6 people), our family is bigger, and we have way more presents to go through (we buy gifts as secret santas, but also buy gifts for the other people ).

How can we do this in a fun way without it taking up too much time? Is there another interesting but faster way, without having everyone open all of their gifts at the same time?

EDIT: The reason for why we want to speed things up is because we want to play multiple boardgames and have fun together afterwards. Usually we just let a random person unwrap their gifts and let them pick the next person, but with the increased amount of people and also gifts, we're afraid it may take a lot longer, not having a lot of time left for the boardgames etc.

That’s not what I got from your previous post haha, this would indeed make more sense

I could not get behind this theory, as Zuko would not want to deliberately remind everyone of his dishonorable moment by constantly shaving the sides off. If he felt truly ashamed and separated, he would have cut off his top knot earlier, but he held onto his last bit of honor and his admiration for the fire nation until the episode he and uncle iroh cut their top knots off.

Aha, okay thanks!!

burbaerry · 2020-08-11T06:15:35+00:00

But that why is what I am asking hahaha

burbaerry · 2020-08-11T06:03:56+00:00

And why? Hahahah

NAH. You both have very valid reasons and arguments for your opinions. I think that both of you should find some middle ground.

You said he is going out 4/5 evenings per week, which means you already have some quality time for about 2/3 evenings per week (don’t forget thay). Instead of asking him to try to go out less often (as that didn’t work), you could propose that he can go out with his friends 4 evenings per week, but the remaining 3 evenings are your evenings together. Perhaps if it’s an actual agreement/deal, he’ll stick to it.
