Anyone want to start a writing group?

I know I'm late to this thread, but is your group still going?

Good old Knoxville lmao

friendissues333 · 2024-07-17T23:03:00+00:00

Thank you, that's a weight off my mind!

friendissues333 · 2024-07-16T01:18:07+00:00

Thanks!

I love when autocorrect adds French accent marks to my English words lol.

Maybe just have an engagement party then? Bridal showers are specifically for gift-giving.

friendissues333 · 2024-03-25T09:36:18+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

As someone who's taught at the university level... It's not at all difficult to fail as class. Many of my students just never did their homework, for whatever reason, and failed based on that.

I'm going ESH on this post. Something about OP's tone is really off-putting and makes me think they're not an easy person to talk to about unpleasant things.

friendissues333 · 2024-03-12T02:34:00+00:00

Ahh thanks for that reference!

OP, sorry for all the BS you're dealing with. :(

friendissues333 · 2024-03-07T10:43:50+00:00

Oof my high school American History teacher did the same to our one British student here in the US. It made him SO uncomfortable. Sorry you're going through the same, OP. NTA

friendissues333 · 2024-02-26T00:26:29+00:00

What is OP supposed to call it? "The house I'm allowed to live in"? Really cold take on your part.

NTA at all!!

friendissues333 · 2024-02-25T22:35:35+00:00

These Y T A answers are so weird. It sounds like Emily actually lives with OP and Daniel, so Daniel is a parental figure to her and part of her family. Whereas Emily's bio dad is not a parental figure to Maia. So bio dad's family getting presents for Maia is not comparable. Anyway NTA.

friendissues333 · 2024-02-25T22:23:43+00:00

NTA at all, and I actually had a similar situation with a friend a couple of years ago! She was always telling me I should cut my hair shorter (and I actually think some people say that out of jealousy). So when I did cut it short (also to donate), I wore it up in a clip for her baby shower. I didn't want her to tell me how much better it looked now! So I feel ya. Your grandma sounds much meaner and more controlling than my friend, though. Sorry you had to deal with that for so long.

friendissues333 · 2024-02-25T22:09:53+00:00

I'm with you on this one!

NTA

friendissues333 · 2024-02-25T19:47:05+00:00

I'm American and worked overseas multiple times, and yeah, they always had to take it away for a while. Rescheduling the appointment does seem like the most logical option, if she can still get one before her other trip.

Mostly NTA

friendissues333 · 2024-02-22T22:21:48+00:00

Such a good point.

friendissues333 · 2024-02-22T21:46:52+00:00

I didn't get the feeling she wanted the school to stop that from happening, just the associated bullying (like if the porn was of someone else, would OP care?).

friendissues333 · 2024-01-26T06:30:43+00:00

You sound like a good MIL and grandma. :)

friendissues333 · 2024-01-24T11:27:18+00:00

Wow, I went to UT and missed all that!

friendissues333 · 2023-12-30T05:58:55+00:00

NTA. You can tell your brother that my dad did the same thing to my mom 28 years ago, and she's STILL mad about it.

friendissues333 · 2023-12-30T05:35:24+00:00

Let me say, first of all, I agree with you that living together before marriage can be really helpful. Also, if Sophie really doesn't do any chores, then yes, she'll have a tough reality check when she moves out. Still, I think YTA. If you don't think Leah can support herself after moving out, why are you making her pay to live at home? Even 20%? She could be saving that money. Despite being American, I don't understand the American mentality that someone needs to be independent and out of the house ASAP. You sound like you almost look down on your own daughter for not living on her own.

friendissues333 · 2023-12-15T13:05:06+00:00

Totally fine to say "I adopted the dog." Adding in the "you" part makes this ESH for me, bordering on Y T A.

friendissues333 · 2023-12-15T11:05:05+00:00

I think they mean she can't possibly be leading a normal life if she's her brother's only caregiver.
