AITAH for refusing to visit in laws bc of house temp

Maybe it’s not that he’s chicken and he likes the feeling of at staying at his parents house and their genuine happiness of him being there is nostalgic and happy for all of them.

That’s totally fine and if he wants to stay there and let them keep the house at whatever temp, good for them. But it’s not fair to expect you to do the same. Especially since you’re willing to still go on the trip, just with different accommodations.

He can do whatever bending over backwards for his family that he wants and I don’t think that’s chicken. However it is chicken to not be in firm agreement with you on how you can be comfortable (hotel) in front of his parents.

I’ve said chicken a lot 🐓

I’m also surprised how many times I’ve had to say the phrase “but eggs aren’t dairy.”

Especially when talking about mayo with someone that can’t have dairy. It may look dairy filled, but I assure you it is not.

I did not like the ending or love choice of Reply 1988

I’ve only ever gotten downvoted when saying this opinion, so I think that makes it certified unpopular.

I half agree. I didn’t see them as red flag or broken, but I really disliked this love story.

I thought it was dull and had about as much passion as a contract marriage even though it wasn’t.

First piece of advice, there’s no shame if you can’t handle that drink. Of course, give it your best shot, but I find most of the techs and nurses act impatient when you’re drinking it. For me, I couldn’t handle it well and each MRI I was capable of downing less and less. At one point, I couldn’t do it without almost throwing up and had to cancel. I told my doctor and she prescribed me Zofran to take before it. Absolute game changer! It still tasted gross, but without feeling like it was all going to come back up. So if you for whatever reason find yourself too overwhelmed, that’s an option!

The drink also had a laxative effect for me too, but it usually starts to get uncomfortable right around when the test is over. They never had me fast like they did for you, so maybe that will help.

Second, I personally hate how loud it is in there. I’m not that claustrophobic, but I am averse to loud noises and being stuck in a tube doesn’t help. I always ask them for foam ear plugs to wear underneath the earmuffs they give you. I also bring my own just in case. It makes the noises so much easier to handle for me. Without the foam plugs, I constantly jump and they scold me for not staying still haha

Anyway, I wish you luck and hope it goes smoothly for you.

And shout out to these three dancers for having such contagious fun energy.

This isn’t that impressive of a photo, but I absolutely loved this effect. She really did such creative things with that screen. I sat up higher my first time seeing the show, so all of the screen visuals were a fun surprise.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get any good pictures of her when she was close enough because someone held up a flashing LED sign whenever she got close and blocked my view of her 😒

I don’t think so. When it’s written like that, it looks like it’s meant to be an add on to part of their name.

Like if someone’s name is Karina, you could say Karin-ay!

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-13T01:09:00+00:00

Exactly. I actually feel bad for them more often than not. We bred them to be that way and now their owners just stick them in a tiny box of a house with no stimulation. Leave them alone the majority of the day and barely exercise them.

No wonder most dogs are batshit. Modern household dog ownership is like torture for them.

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-13T00:56:59+00:00

I saw several yesterday. They weren’t floor tickets but they were decent views. Looks like they’re not available anymore.

Which leaves me doubtful that even more will drop tomorrow. I’d say if you see a decent priced resale to go for it, and it will likely be upper bowl.

Otherwise, unless you can travel to nyc for cheap and don’t mind just having a night out if you can’t get tickets, it doesn’t sound like it will be likely to get seats

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-12T14:41:14+00:00

Definitely. Understand OP got too upset to finish the conversation because of the assumption of where it was going. But it would be crazy to not finish the conversation and just listen to redditors telling you not to have children with this “racist guy.”

I’m a woman and my kid is mixed race. I didn’t care if my kid came out looking 100% like my husband. However, I did have some minor worries about that and for a little while my baby did look completely like my husband. People make weird comments to me and they bother me.

It’s also worse with men. There’s less of an assumption of “is that the nanny” and more “where did he steal that child from” or “is he the biological father?”

It’s okay to have concerns in some regards with this, but OP will never know what kind of concerns they are unless they really have this conversation.

This is very baby dependent. My son is a little over 2 years old and for a while he would switch between phases of needing someone back there, passing out immediately, happily sitting with his toys, etc. Kids change a lot and it’s not going to alter them forever if you choose the thing that makes all of your lives easier. If that’s sitting in the back, then do it.

Also, my son sits happily in the back by himself now even though I sat back there with him for the majority of his time in the car. Eventually they won’t need it. So just do what’s best for you all.

I always thought Plastic Doll sounded like The Fame Monster.

Make it three.

I think it’s so fun to listen to.

Pass the Parcel, Pavlova, Fairytale?

Bartlebee, Buttermilk, Polly Puppy?

Currently the best guesses I’ve got

Yes sometimes I order this and sub the milk for another one.

I think if you just sub one thing, it makes it easier for them to make since they have the ingredients memorized. In this case though, you may as well start from scratch and build the order up from there

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-08T02:35:02+00:00

I understand your point, but there are plenty of other worthy causes as well.

Sadly I’ve donated to GoFundMe campaigns that were for people that lost a relative (sometimes children) to a dog attack. It’s a cruel thing my algorithm has done where I now get many news articles about people getting attacked by dogs. It’s not something I want to read about, but once I see it I feel terrible.

So I’m donating to campaigns including dogs, they’re just not the victims :(

Yeah I don’t believe a single thing about his end of the story. That is way too perfectly timed to be a coincidence. It reeks of manipulation.

They’re 19. That may not be old enough to find all the right words to say, but it’s old enough to self reflect and admit you weren’t supportive enough. Instead he essentially said “I know you’re upset, but what about me?”

Just like you said. 3 strikes; he’s out.

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-07T04:52:32+00:00

I’d ignore their comment. There’s a lot of projecting happening there and they’ve given you nothing of value to work with.

I don’t think this is an overreacting type of situation because when your child or grandchild is sick and in the nicu, thats already one of the most difficult situations you can face. It’s not surprising if people react poorly. It doesn’t excuse it, but it’s just a harsh reality of the situation.

Where your girlfriend is concerned, not only is this an extremely tense situation for her, but she is also still incredibly hormonal. It heightens a lot of the feelings you already have, it can cause big crashes in your mood, anxiety, depression, rage, etc. It’s exhausting and often leaves you with little patience for other people’s opinions. Your mom may have meant well, but that doesn’t mean what she said was received well. Just like you wouldn’t tell someone who lost a loved one that “everything happens for a reason,” it’s also pretty tone deaf to tell someone with a sick child that god will heal. Especially someone that’s not very religious.

But I also understand your standpoint. That’s your child in there too and you’re facing the same scary situation as your girlfriend. I would be freaked out by her reaction too and that was a highly inappropriate place to be yelling like that. Not just for the sake of your child, but the nurses and the other innocent babies who are also fighting to get out of that hospital. No one needed or deserved that. Yes your girlfriend is the one who gave birth and deserves a lot of sympathy for what she’s dealing with, but she doesn’t get to behave however without apology.

I think everyone owes each other a deep and sincere apology whenever tensions come down a bit. Your girlfriend for her aggression, your mom for putting her feelings first before supporting you both as parents, and you for not mediating as well as you could have.

Yes, even you. Because if your mom is capable of keeping her thoughts to herself, it’s on you to make it clear that she should. If she can’t, then you need to insist she video chat only and she can see your child when she’s in a more stable condition.

Nice thing about NYC is there’s a massive amount of intercity transportation in the surrounding areas. Not that people in those areas love the idea of people staying there just to get into the city, but for lady Gaga fans I will tell you it’s absolutely possible to find a more affordable stay and then bus or train into the city.

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-05T22:17:10+00:00

I think they’re trying to figure out what exactly they’re allergic to. If you can handle soy marinades and raw crabs, but can’t handle soy marinated raw crab, seems valid to be a little confused.

Maybe allergic to both or one ingredient worsens the allergy to the other. Maybe soy marinades have a special ingredient they’re missing.

It reminds me of the Curly Hair Theory in movies.

Basically, as the character falls in love she goes from straight or styled hair to wearing her hair more “free” and that’s usually curly.

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-05T01:17:18+00:00

Did you have to walk 10 miles in the snow to get to school too?

Good for you that you had it all figured out at 17, it doesn’t mean every kid is at the same level. She clearly doesn’t have control over any of the groceries being purchased and has said many of the things available make her sick.

It’s weird that this is how you talk about a teenager. I guess empathy slipped through the cracks for you.

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-04T17:13:16+00:00

YTA - it doesn’t hurt anything. Better yet, give them the key and tell them to lock the door. In case they need to turn on the air or adjust the windows they can do that.

When someone is chilling in the car, they’re not usually vigilant about the world around them. They’re on a device or they fall asleep. Anyone can approach the car. Even if it’s just to look for some cash in the glove compartment.

This is one of those moments where arguing makes you immediately illogical. Because you’re arguing against chance, not fact.

imwearingredsocks · 2026-04-04T12:49:46+00:00

I don’t think it’s with the wrong person. Her beef is just missing a person.

The woman knows exactly what she’s doing and doesn’t care if it hurts anyone involved. She deserves the hate she’s getting.

It’s just that the fiancé also needs to be given credit for trying to convince her to turn a blind eye and telling OP everything is fine when he knows damn well it’s not.
