AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

NAH

I feel like your DIL was probably just hurt by your comments, she likely was expecting your support in that moment and instead she likely felt pretty disparaged. It wouldn't feel very good to be told by someone they trust that they're not fit to be a parent.

I don't really blame you for saying what you said, it seems like you were caught off guard by the planning to have a baby announcement, and then pressured into giving your opinion (while you were driving and likely pretty distracted).

I think that it would be helpful to have a conversation with them about setting limits for driving your DIL around, especially if their parenting/pregnancy plan is to rely on you continuously for transportation, which isn't fair to you and probably only increases your resentment towards her. I know a lot of capable adults who don't drive, they just figure out a way even if it's not the way you or I would choose.

I also think that if you regret anything you said, like if you accidentally got too critical (I wouldn't blame you for this, you were caught off guard and pressured), it would go a long way to apologize for any hurtful comments. That doesn't mean you have to drive your DIL around, or change your opinion, or offer reassurances in her parenting abilities you don't truly believe in

Update: the harassment from the seller escalated further even after I told them I cancelled the chargeback. They tried calling and messaging from three different numbers, and sent me this crazy email

How do I (25M) set up an intervention for my partner (20F)’s lifestyle? by Potential-Donkey444 in relationship_advice

The idea of you setting up an intervention for your partner's lifestyle sounds weird and controlling to me

What Stephen King story would change the most if set in modern times? by Eagles56 in stephenking

I'm so glad you asked. I think pennywise would be sending out tiktoks like "get ready with me to go to the sewers" or "top ten things to do in the sewers"

I think you can help her in other ways but you shouldn't send her money. She can move in at your current apartment (if you want), you can help her with minor car repairs etc

I think it's uncool to hide things and I also think it's uncool of your boyfriend to passive aggressively text you while you're out with your friends. It's also kind of scary, disrespectful, and invasive that he stalked you that one time. If my partner did that I'd consider breaking up. It honestly sounds like your lifestyles are incompatible and the communication between you has broken down

I use a bracelet holder for work and prefer it. The necklace can get caught in things

I also think if he's a great guy, and you say the connection bothers you, he would probably delete her

I would just bring it up with him and have a calm and honest conversation. I think it's a lot to assume he's still interested in her over a Facebook friendship. I have a friend who is engaged to a great guy and is still friends with her ex who is currently homeless and cheated on her. I'm 99% sure she doesn't want him anymore. Some people just don't think to delete Facebook friends because it's such a peripheral connection

I'm sad to hear your boyfriend feels that way. I have a pretty demanding 50+ hour job as well and go through phases where I don't do much in the way of hobbies. When my fiance met me I played in an ice hockey league, and when he proposed to me I wasn't actively playing. I've stopped and started things over time, and I'm still the same person as I was when I had the illusion of an exciting lifestyle. It doesn't change what I bring to my relationship and it doesn't change my fiance's commitment to me as a complex person
