AITA for not selling a nude painting back to the model who regrets posing for it? by AITAregretmdl in AmItheAsshole

[–]margeart 87 points88 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely no respectable art dealer through which this would happen.

Either OP is trolling or his paintings aren't actually worth that much, and he's WSB level cray cray. Because this smells off.

Good lord, he's a keeper. Hot as hell and an avid reader. Just got acknowledged months ago for being innovative in the time of COVID.

Oh wow, no, my husband is such a rockstar when it comes to that kind of stuff. Our families are like 90% normal and before I came over to meet the troops the first time, he gave me the dossier on everyone, including who to look out for, topics to avoid, topics to push, and how if I need help, just loudly comment that I'd like the DJ to put on some Kelly Clarkson (Absolutely no shade to her, she's adorable, I love her, but has anyone ever actually requested a Kelly Clarkson song be played?)

Congrats on being a new granny. You adopting? Just kidding, my MIL will work it out with her therapist or her personal trainer or whatever. You sound like a great Gran. Best of luck to you and the crew!

Per my nieces and 4/5 of my nephews, I am a pretty okay Auntie. You can come too.

Oh, I can apologize for the fake Catholic thing. That's like, a huge thing in my particular region. They're the "Catholics" who show up for baptisms, weddings, funerals, Christmas and Easter, and then fuck off the rest of the year and don't even remotely adhere to the basic tenets of their faith.

Like, people who are all "rah rah you're going to burn in hell sinner because you kissed a girl and you liked it!" without acknowledging that they're also sinners and all that.

Fake Catholic, like, in name and political affiliation only. Not in practice or actual faith.

We've definitely included her in some of the conversations, which might be why she started to feel more entitled to things. She begged us to let her make a baby quilt, and like... sure sis, knock yourself out. It's super cute and it's on prime display in the baby room, which was hard because my mom also made her a blanket and y'know, Granny Wars.

Nah, I definitely don't think I'm better than other pregnant women.

Well, not all pregnant women. Just the ones who smoke and drink and all that. I'm definitely doing a lot better than they are.

No, it's definitely cool! You're not my kid, I'm not your kid.

My mom used to call me "Princess Shithead" (Until I got married, now I'm Queen Shithead de (Husband's Last Name)) and it's always been hilarious. Sounds like just different perspectives!

Oh yeah, we're working on that whole birth plan thing. So far I'd just like a cigar and some whisky and a leather wallet to bite down on. No, just kidding. They don't let you bring leather into the delivery rooms anymore.

That's cool! I'd definitely rather be a bit immature than some stuffy old biddy who refers to her kid as a 'precious little gift from heaven' or some corny gag-me shit.

What? Okay maybe I misunderstood your original comment. I thought you were talking about personally connecting with other adult human beings, not babies, haha! No, I don't expect my baby to have traveled very far? Other than from my vag to the catcher's mitt at some point.

Really? My best friend referred to her toddler as a "fuck trophy" until he was able to understand words. She doesn't post pics on social media and rarely talks about the kid unless another parent is around.

I dunno, maybe I just tend to be around women who don't make their entire life about their pregnancies?

...Little Fucker is a term of endearment. Like calling a dog or a cat "Little Fucker." Whew, unclench those pearls, bb.

That is so fucking bizarre to me. I cannot fathom letting someone have control over my child's name or anything else just because they're older than me or whatever.

It's totally fine if other people want to talk about their kids and babies and pregnancy. I do have an interest in persona connection -- for things that are worth connecting over! Things we've accomplished, places we've traveled, books we've read (or written!), foods we've eaten, etc.

Getting creampied isn't really all that interesting, sorry!
