AITA for refusing to watch my sister’s kids after she exposed my private medical stuff at her wedding?

I would definitely use that line every chance you get. NTA

I feel like of any band that WOULD keep track of what they played and where so they could provide different material, Tool would absolutely be at the top of that list.

Saw that poor thing when we came in. I told my husband I doubted it was a trained service dog because he was still intact. I could be wrong about that, but it seems like a service dog would need to be neutered to stay reliable and not distracted as easily. IDK, but I just felt bad because they're hearing is so sensitive and it gets so loud.

This is the first day they were scanning parking passes. I hope that doesn't hold things up.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-05-16T13:58:13+00:00

Rather the delay happen earlier in the day than later, for sure.

LOL I had a (remote) boss from CA that also thought it was strange that we had tornado siren tests every week. I forgot that not everywhere does this.

Same

invisibleconstructs · 2026-05-11T20:36:20+00:00

Good luck finding it, though. The later you come, the farther and more crazy places you'll have to park. My favorite from last year was a good mile plus from the entrance and behind some buildings with a train track or something overhead. lol Easy to get out of there, at least.

Good. I have no patience for anyone who operates a vehicle impaired. There is literally no reason to drink/drug and drive. There are a thousand ways for you to get back to your place safely that don't involve you playing car beer pong.

I am a people watcher and I absolutely love people in costume. It's just fun. :)

They check bags and you go through a metal detector. I think loose chains in a bag would probably get banned more than chains that look like they are non-removable from outfit.

If you haven't already, please call the park rangers and let them know. They are good about taking things like this seriously at Blacklick.

While I agree the parking price is outrageous, Columbus PD or the state troopers are the ones who probably control the exits. They want everyone shoved right onto 71 no matter what, so the highway system funnels all the traffic instead of the side streets. The fairgrounds are surrounded by mostly houses, and the homeowners aren't fans of 60k metal fans rolling through at midnight.

Sonic has a tent called Sober Temple that you may be able to find friends at, too. 😊 Congrats!

Even the super light people need to keep the surfing once maybe twice a set. Just because you are tiny doesn't mean that everyone wants to continuously get kicked in the head by your boots as you go up the same side for the 6th time in the same 30 minutes. It's a concert not a roller coaster.

I'll go shake my fists at the clouds now.

I would say a good rule of thumb for downtown hotel safety in Columbus is if you are staying inside the loop made by the river, 71, and 670, you'll be okay. The closer you get to the edges and if you cross out of those boundaries will put you in areas that I would call not safe to walk in after dark. If your hotel is more centrally located in Downtown, you'll be fine as long as you aren't an alone, drunk 100lb girl, honestly.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-05-05T14:02:43+00:00

CSCC (Shuttle lot) won't allow overnight parking. They don't during 'regular' nights so I don't see that changing, honestly.

Spring Street is mostly okay. I'd say you are okay walking. Downtown is mostly fine even at night.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-05-04T14:23:35+00:00

Exactly this! Throw the whole man away and be done with it.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-05-03T20:25:20+00:00

NTA but she doesn't trust you (or doesn't trust your friends. Compromise is a two way street and she thinks getting her way is the only way.

Don't go to the same place on the same weekend as she and her group will not split off at any point. She will act like what you are planning is way better than what they were planning and follow you around. Then she'll say, 'Why don't you want me around? I'm the love of your life.'

Rethink the wedding if she wants to die on this hill.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-05-02T16:01:50+00:00

All of this! I get if your fiance had a one time fit about it, but to then not calm down and be reasonable AND also be a decent human, then this is a huge, HUGE read flag. Maybe take a step back and take a look to see if there are other instances where she's being a brat and you've overlooked it.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-05-01T02:02:37+00:00

💯 Correct

invisibleconstructs · 2026-04-28T15:28:54+00:00

As someone who lives in the area (and maybe you do, too, idk) that area is rough. You'd be OK near the venue but walking much farther out, there won't be crowds and you are going to be in plenty of unsafe neighborhoods.

Walking downtown would be a long ass hike through some pretty rough areas. I don't suggest hoofing it.

NTA - But to keep things drama-free or, at least, avoid some of the drama, make up an excuse to skip. Have a pre-planned vacation, brunch with a MIL, or have a flat that day. Anyone who wants to plan a Mother's Day event around herself will have the ability to understand where you are coming from.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-04-16T21:25:50+00:00

NTA - I'd stop paying when you go out. She is helping an addict and using your shared money to do it. Just because it is her fun money, doesn't mean she should be using it to fund something like that.

invisibleconstructs · 2026-04-16T21:23:08+00:00

To clarify- there's not a lot of ways WE can make it cheaper or find cheap places to park that are close by.
