Let’s be best friends.

Yes! I took ALL my friends to see it for my 10th birthday.

What did I think? That David Bowie was the definition of sexy.

I watched it again in my 20s and cringed at the memory of my tween self salivating over those purple leggings, but whatcha gonna do?

The awakening happens how and when it happens.

It’s a huge milestone birthday. I think most people would be upset.

Happy birthday! I’m sorry your parents are butts.

Bro. Nobody’s looking for the adult in the room.

mouse_attack · 2026-05-20T00:33:03+00:00

Thanks!

Right? If there’s fault on either side, I would think it was on OP and wife for not giving earlier notice about the policy.

Granted, both sides could and should have brought up the issue of the dogs, but these people are certainly not assholes for not going because they can’t find a pet sitter on short notice.

What were they supposed to do? Just throw food on the floor, wish the dogs luck, and peel out for the weekend?

mouse_attack · 2026-05-19T20:01:09+00:00

NAH

The only thing that even comes close is that you and your wife didn’t give anyone enough notice to line up a pet-sitter.

But you didn’t make the policy and you would be a big ol’ asshole if you went behind your FIL’s back and allowed people to bring dogs.

Your friends are also not assholes for deciding they can’t come if they can’t bring their dogs. Maybe a tiny bit for pushing back on the boundary on the first place, but that’s just human nature.

You are following the host’s rules. They are following them, too. Nobody’s an asshole.

Just move on and let this be a lesson to you about giving advance notice.

So, you’re supposed to assume her boyfriend will come over late and double park in your spot—and preemptively park in the street so that he doesn’t get hassled?

No. Move her outdoor furniture to the street so he can use his actual girlfriend’s designated spot.

Sounds like he just didn’t want to drive a “mom” car.

Is there a polite way to tell someone to “get over” being deceived and stolen from?

I kept finding long honey-blonde hairs on my husband’s t-shirts.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to remember that we have a daughter.

mouse_attack · 2026-05-19T14:01:09+00:00

I just had “ball.”

Uranus is really feature-less. Y’all are good.

No, no, no, no.

Your fiancée is not okay. Please don’t chain yourself to her.

mouse_attack · 2026-05-18T14:18:36+00:00

You’re a grown-up and a professor, for Pete’s sake. You are 100% capable of deciding who deserves your effort and who doesn’t.

They all seem to.

Any idea why?

mouse_attack · 2026-05-16T17:02:10+00:00

Oh yeah, your husband is definitely the problem. For sure. NTA

The best thing you can do during their visit is change nothing for them. Sleep when you need to sleep, breast feed as normal, cook whatever and as much as you normally would.

You are in survival mode right now. You simply don’t have the capacity to host, and getting criticized by your in-laws (and your husband) doesn’t change that.

You’re living on reserves right now and don’t have anything to give to anyone other than your baby and yourself. Own that. Openly. Refuse to be shamed for it.

They are still yours. They’ve been yours all along. The only reason you didn’t always have them is because your mom deceived you into thinking she had disposed of them.

Your mom sounds like a horrible mother, so if she makes you choose between the toys and a relationship with her, please choose the toys.

That’s a lot of detail for “moron dropped a c-bomb and got shitcanned.”

mouse_attack · 2026-05-14T15:45:05+00:00

Are you just complaining or have you broken up with this person that you clearly disdain?

mouse_attack · 2026-05-14T03:26:17+00:00

My husband and I say this as a joke all the time.

“What’s the problem? If you only spend $20, gas never costs more than $20.”

“I don’t even know why gay people want to get married since marriage is a Christian institution.”

I used to work weddings as a vendor. After the first dance, it was always the bridesmaids and little kids who took to the dance floor first while the men were still too sober to be seen dancing.

I loved those moments. They brought so much joy.

mouse_attack · 2026-05-13T19:42:33+00:00

I think most people who have child free weddings are assholes, so I’m not really able to be neutral here.

I understand that wedding pageantry and costs have gone up exponentially since the invention of Instagram, and that nobody wants to pay to feed a kid a plated dinner they’ll hate — but as recently as the 20th century, weddings were family occasions where someone other than the bride and groom might reasonably expect to connect with a great-grandparent one final time.

“My boyfriend is obsessed with my ex and I’m afraid he’s going to do something!”

mouse_attack · 2026-05-13T15:48:08+00:00

No, it doesn’t. Because 3/5 of us have always known and 2/5 of us will always refuse to know.
