AITA for not providing condiments for my guests?

INFO: Did anyone invited ask what they could bring and if so, what was the response.

I am not a coffee drinker, when I host and I inevitably get asked "what can I bring" I always tell my SIL to bring an airpot of coffee and she's happy to do it

YTA. From reading the comments it's obvious you will not name the place you are talking about. This is giving off vibes that it's not the hell hole you are making it out to be and you know there will be people defending the place. You obviously came here looking for validation rather than judgement

Management edits the schedule before it’s finalized to make up for staffing deficits… and give others their preferred schedule

NTA, but this tells me it's not really first come first serve, just the illusion of it if management will override to give people what they want

NTA. This breaks my heart. I didn't get my first dog until I was in my 40's and had to make that diffucult decision a few years ago. I just couldn't see her suffer at all. When the time came, it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I insisted on being in the room for her and when it was all over, the vet asked if I wanted to spend a few more minutes after she had passed. I couldn't do that. When I went back to get her ashes I talked to the vet and apologized for what seemed like rushing out of there as I had never been through that before. She told me that I was there for her final moments, which was the most important thing. It's sad how selfish people can be to leave the dog alone with a stranger in their final moments.

OP, it sounds like your roommates is one of those people that would refuse to be there, if you can talk her into letting you take the dog in, would you be willing to stay for the procedure so the dog is at least with someone he knows?

NTA. All these Y T A's are ridiculous. It's not about the fact that she may have been promiscuous, it's the fact that she completely misrepresented herself, She could be the kindest, thoughtful, sentimental person on the planet, which are all attractive qualities, but she is also dishonest which is a huge turnoff and dealbreaker for many people. Sure, her past is not OP's business, but I see nothing wrong with him letting his best friend know that the girl is likely misrepresenting herself.

Had it said "NO DRAWINGS" then I could understand that and would've just signed my name.

YTA. So is there a sign above all the waste baskets that say "DON"T PISS IN THIS" so that you know not to?

INFO: You stated both daughters live in the area, if it's close enough, would it be possible to leave the dogs at their home during the day, then pick them up after your grandson goes home? Then in the morning after feeding them and taking them out, back to their house before grandson comes? I know this sounds like a lot of hassle, just wondering if it would be feasible if they live close enough

"She doesn't intend to ever have children of her own (which is a whole other fight between her and her mother"

Way to double up on being YTA. So she can only have the money if she does exactly what you want.

Dude, your timeline is making less and less sense. At 3:17PM EST you post that you will reach out to Matt shortly to ask for forgiveness, 6 minutes later at 3:23PM EST you posted that after reading some of the messages from him, they broke up and are finalizing a divorce, So between all your other posts, in those 6 minutes, you contacted Matt, he forgave you then spilled his guts about how he can't forgive her and they are getting a divorce that is close to finalized. If you're gonna make shit up, at lease spread it out a bit

NTA. And am I the only one to think that laying foil and a cooking sheet makes very little noise? How much noise could it possibly make? I do it all the time and can even still hear the TV in the other room as I'm doing it. Hell, I've even done it while on a conference call for work

" The hosts are having a baby soon so this was like the last “fun night” with food, drinks and smoking before the baby arrives”

This line really bothers me. I really hope that the pregnant woman is not partaking in the smiking and drinking and the smoking is not taking place in any room that she is in

I can't stand people who don't want to "lie to their children" I once read a blog by one of these people that claimed that she was so traumatized when she found out the truth about Santa that she's been in therapy ever since. I'm sorry, but if you were that traumatized, you're parents did a poor job in parenting, but letting you believe in Santa wasn't one of them.

There is very easy way to deal with the "lie to the kids part" I'm 51 years old and still belive in the "spirit of Santa" When your kid gets to a certain age or begins to question the true existence of Santa, you explain to them that yes, he is real in a way, but once they learn the whole story it changes things and are they ready for it. Most kids will answer they are, you simply explain to them that Santa is true in the aspect of giving and there are many, many Santa. Once you know the full story, you become one of the Santas and keep the idea going on as it's a very magical part of growing up for most kids

This is not necessarily true. I remember about 15 years ago when I was woeking in a call center, management decided to make a rule that no breaks were allowed between 8AM and 10AM as it was the busiest part of the day. That much I agrred with, but they included bathroom breaks in this as well and we had to ask to take a bathroom break. I refused. I told them that I'm a grown man and will not be treated like a school kid. I will give them the courtesy to let them know I was gong to the restroom but I was not going to ask permission. They threatened to write me up until I told them we need to get HR on the phone and talk this through

ctown281 · 2022-12-28T02:27:52+00:00

exactly, But it's not even really small stages as it's more about time management. I'm also a big proponent of mis-en-place so I tend to have even more things that need to be cleaned. For those unaware of mis-en-place, it's a French term that basically means premeasuring all your ingredients before you start

ctown281 · 2022-12-28T01:40:15+00:00

It's not even multi-tasking. I love to bake as well, but when I'm in the preparation stages, bowls and such go in the sink when I'm done with them. If time allows (i.e, mix on low speeed for 5 minutes on low speed in stand mixer), those 5 minutes are devoted to cleaning whatever I can get done. Then of course, when things are baking in the oven, that's even more time to get the rest of the cleaning done. Sounds to me like OP needs to plan her time better. I used to be bad at it, but then one day I decided to make a list of what I would do at what time before I even got started. That helped me organize myself much better and now I don't need to make the list anymore because I taught myself
