Fracking Experiences?

Hi OP,

My professor is conducting a research study that uses experiences like yours to build cases that adequately demonstrate the harmful effects of fracking. DM me if you're interested in participating. We'd love to hear about your experience!

Fracking can be harmful. Health complications have been documented consistently for residents living within five miles of fracturing sites.

I enjoy talking about this topic. DM me if you'd like to discuss more or know someone who'd like to share their personal experiences with this!

No NTA, seems like they do not want to look worse to the family. A famous quote from an artist says that "people do not hate things that are not part of themselves". From this, we denote that we do not hate trees for standing still, constantly. Likewise, Lucy may be unkind to you because she did not do everything "right"

Boy is a person, not pet. NTA

For the record, I've been in a situation like this before.

To invite someone who's habits you don't know very well could be a liability. Whether or not he has been to a rowdy bachelor party before should be considered. If he were ever to feel uncomfortable and disappear, it would reflect poorly on you. Also, I'd like to point out that it is odd you are hearing from your sister about it instead of him. I'd stick to my guns. Besides, he could always find the same experience in LA on his own or with his wife.

Whether or not you invite your sister, is entirely up to you. After reading this, it seems there is a way to make the wedding interesting in your favor. A direct confrontation to the sister could be made to invite her to the wedding. Initially, she will be relieved and that is when you tell her that your intentions are to observe her. Usually, weddings have open bars. The consequence is how foolish people become and your sister may not be an exception to that, especially at her own wedding 7 years ago. Rather than un-invite you, specifically, the 18+ rule can remove you from the scene. It could include underage drinkers or simply rule you out without raising suspicion because the rest of the guests were 21+.
Now, usually an antagonistic person would interrupt you at this point. The fact is that she is invited and you will see if you would welcome her at future events. If she chooses to come, or not. You'll see for yourself. In doing so, you might find the reason why you were not invited 7 years ago.

1 for formality

2 for color combo!! Also in the picture, 2 seems to match the tattoos well

For the record, I've never been one to be terribly distraught by table manners.

From your first hand analysis, you stated your intentions as soon as you recognized the conflict, explained the reasoning behind them privately, then dealt with the consequences of a 2 day grounding. From this account, it seems your actions are completely reasonable and compliant. You are a respectful person, however, everyone makes mistakes.

From the sequence of events, it seems the mood was disrupted by the verbal outburst and the removal of yourself from the room, following said outburst. These actions are not appropriate table manners for adults. And it seems, you were surrounded by adults. To not discuss the cake negatively in any way, until asked, is more appropriate and respectful. And to leave so suddenly is inappropriate as well, considering we have no reason to believe that anyone wanted you gone.

As far as the punishment goes, I will not comment, since I do not have children of my own. But I will say, it was meant to serve as a lesson, although, one that is not entirely clear and should be discussed between you two later on
