Right if I was the boyfriend in that story and found out my girlfriend was saying that about the ring I got, she’d be an ex so fast she’d still be writing the post about the ring.
@@AxelWolfeCT Imagine proposing to someone you know so little, you couldn't even anticipate she would do such a thing. Most likely those two deserve each other ...
@@BrokensoulRider Sure, but that doesn't mean they know each other well. It really depends on how you use that time. You will only know if you work as a couple after you went through some stressful time together. If you are essentially just dating for years, you will never know ...
As someone who was married to a man that didn't want to be married and left me after 3 years, this made me SO MAD. You should just be happy that someone wants to spend their life with you. How ungrateful.

For the bullying story, Op wasn't wrong eventually a kid who gets bullied will feel like they have nothing to loose and tear the crap out of their tormentors, and yes speaking from personal experience on this. Side note to any kids who see this, if you see bullying don't stay silent about it!!!!
@William Schnabel I was bullied from pre-k all the way until I graduated from high school..I was severely bullied in junior high school it got so bad, that my principal threatened me with suspensions and detention I remember coming home and telling my parents what my principal had told me, the next morning I went to school my mother had to wait for our lawyers office to open once the law office was open my mother and our lawyer and paralegal heard everything I had relayed to them, next thing I know is I am being called into my principal's office and I sat back and watched how Mr. Viveros was torn a new one right in front of his staff and the assistant principal, then my lawyer looked at me and said if I wanted to start a lawsuit and I said not right now maybe in the future, I said what I want to do is to have the police called and have my bullies arrested for verbal threats and threats of violence against my person..he leaned over and dialed for the cops who came in 5 minutes I told the cops what I was going through and the assistant principal Mr. Jeffries called my bullies to the office which were 4 of them and they all got arrested and went to court and transferred schools..the next morning at school I breezed through the day with no hassles or threats..I carried a summons to court if my bullies tried anything with me..and said if any of you losers try anything this is a summons to the nearest courtroom and I will see to it your all locked up for the rest of the school year..years later I saw 3 of them at the mall in Dartmouth and 2 of the 3 had charges of public intoxication, Driving while under the influence, driving with intent to cause harm and shoplifting, 2 of the 3 I saw had kids and said some examples you are for your children and I turned around and walked away smiling in victory..one of them had thr audacity to ask if I still had the summons and I said yes I do and I plan using it to tell the judge and CPS why you don't deserve your children. All 3 faces dropped to the floor..last I heard neither of them have their kids.
@@MsWiccanpriestess Sadly my family did not have access to lawyer so I had to get more creative. His dad though when he was finally informed was irate to say the least because I showed them the referrals I had got which clearly said His son had instigated the issues and fights off school property even though it was a bus stop at another school in the district, and sent his kid to an all boys catholic military boot camp. He even managed to do so poorly at that and got held back 3 years. We were roughly the same age, but when I was a Senior in High school we was still a freshman.
I was the new kid. No older brothers,No cousin's. A kid who was related to everyone threatens me. I better give up my money. He had two football players with him. I was pinned at my locker. I took a Math textbook and hit him as hard as I could on the nose. Blood came out. The surprise on his face was priceless. His friends were encouraging him to put a beating on me. Living on a small farm I had lots of chores that kept me very fit. I picked him up and threw him on the floor. I straddled his body so he couldn't get me off of him. I grabbed a handful of hair and started bashing the back of his head into the floor. I was lifted off of him by my ear. The teacher doing this was built like a cigarette machine. The bully disappeared into the crowd.The teacher brought me to the vice principal still holding my ear. The next morning over the daily announcements the bully and I were told to report to the vice principal. The bully meets me in the hall. He starts to threaten me. I remind him of the lumps he has on the back of his head. I'll break your face before anyone can stop me. End result was his expulsion. He transferred to a vocational school. The next year a friend of his told me to sit down while he took off his football gear. He proceeded to tell me about the beating I had coming. Like I am supposed to wait around for it. I picked up a picnic bench the used in the locker room. Heavy Birch. Well made. I got it spinning and hit him in the knees. Kept up the momentum and hit him in the shoulder and side of the head. Threw the bench on him and left. I had been tasked with getting soccer balls and cones. Went back to soccer practice. My coach was not happy. He though I had been pestering cheerleaders,Delaying practice. I said I got into it with this football player. Told him about hitting him with a bench. I pointed to the door of the locker room. He will be coming out that door aiming for me. 10 seconds later he came out. Straight line to me. Coach got the squaky talky to the football coach. The football player got to push the sled the rest of practice. I ran around the field once. No one bothered me after that. The football player did almost 20 years in prison for beating his wife. He got 8 1/2 the first time. The got back together. The second time he got 12 years.

This was about eight years ago. I was in downtown Seattle waiting for a bus, when this, shall we say, "Aggressive panhandler" tries to extort some money. It's just the two of us and Ignore him so he tried harder. I casually ask " Tell me, have you ever had a near death experience?" He looks confused saying "No,why?" I turned, lock his eyes with mine and smile, "Because, you are having one *NOW*" He shambles down the street jabbering incoherently. The bus arrives, and I head home.

@@alynneflanery9918 No. Just...NO. What he showed her is that he was there for her regardless of the situation. You think she doesn't already know her condition? She doesn't need a bunch of no name no matter @$$holes castigating her. What she NEEDS, and what she GOT, is the knowledge that at least ONE of her parents loves her enough to engage in combat, if need be, on her behalf.
I don't see anything weird in it. I always have a ring on my ring finger because it fits it perfectly. I had it for years no matter if I have been single or in a relationship. A lot of people I know wear rings in whatever finger they look the nicest/fit the best.
MY Dad was in the SAS! ( spoiler...No...I wasn't !) My thirteen year stepdaughter was getting some hassle from a boy at school. I was picking her up from school one evening...( I figured a 'presence' might have a calming effect). I spotted her talking to a bunch of her friends so headed towards them, just before I get there a boy got in front of her, and started with some rather 'choice' language. I ended up standing directly behind him as he lets rip. She didn't even glance at me to acknowledge I was there ! When he stopped / ran out of breath, she told him...'You'd best leave me alone...or my Dad will have something to say about it'. 'Oh YEAH!?...Huh!...MY Dad was in the Royal Marines'! She gave a little toss of her head and a derisory sniff...( the one girls are so good at ). 'Not a problem for my Dad'. 'Oh Yeah? 'an whys THAT'!?!! She gave him a pitying look...'Three reasons, One he's six foot three inches tall ( true ) and two he weighs about 15 stone'...( that's 210 lbs...in imperial measurements, and also true )...then she paused. 'So?...'an whats the third reason then'!!?? She smiled sweetly. 'Cos HE was in the S.A.S!...and he's right behind you'!!! ( Lying little TOAD!...I've never been in the services !! ). Boy: 'Yeah...suuure he was! She gave an evil little grin at the boy...one that chilled me to the bone. ( It may be she's picked up some habits from me, if so...then I'd say she's got them of to perfection ). Then she looked over his head to me. 'Hi Dad !' 'Hi sweetheart...everything OK'? The boy spun on the spot, literally planted his face right onto my chest, he looked up, screamed 'Oh S**T'!!! then ran as fast as his legs would carry him. She never had a problem with him after that, dunno why though ;-)
I have a big family, grew up going to weddings, then catering weddings, we always ran around and played together at them (a family member owned the catering company and a function hall that we would regularly go to for events). We loved going and had so much fun. There were of course some weddings that kids were not allowed at, and no one complained (to my knowledge), I guess it’s different for each family, event and rules. I’ve never felt untitled to bring my kids if the invitation or people getting married say no kids. Either find a babysitter or don’t go
Weddings are really for the family. You want it to be personal? You can do it without a priest even, after all, the legally important part of a wedding does not contain the phrase "do you take this John Doe to love and to cherish" etc. The real important phrase is "you sign there on that dotted line, then you on that line, then I notarize it and send it in". A wedding is about showing that married status to friends and family, a ceremony intended to show that it's official. And cutting her father out of the wedding because she thinks it's sexist with the father giving away the bride? Unless her father abused her or neglected her, then the single most entitled person in that story was the OP.
Or ( as I put it ) 'You can either leave on a stretcher or in a body bag ...your choice'. And yes...I've actually used that line. I had a bailiff turn up one day to repossess 'my' car ( I don't have one ). Three bailiffs, with two police officers ( there to 'keep the peace' ). Apparently they were looking for number 77...and I'm at number 77...the problem is they were looking for number 77 'of the road' if you get me...I live at number 77 in a block of flats on that road, the other side of the road there's ANOTHER 77 in a different block of flats. When he said he was 'coming in' I just told him calmly 'If you set one foot over this threshold and try to come in you'll be leaving either on a stretcher or in a body bag...your choice'. Police stepped forward, checked the paperwork and told him to leave...immediately.
Kids hate weddings? I've never heard that. As a kid, we were told that we have to be bored sometimes and just wait the ceremony out, and we did. Afterwards during the party we would have a blast with the other kids and play outside. Maybe its another culture for me, but we always had tons of fun after being bored.
Totally agree with you. I can't imagine a wedding without some kids running around with lot of commotion and people around. Then maybe it's me. I wanted a totally traditional wedding with all the bells and whistles. I am an Indian so weddings are elaborate and long. I enjoyed every tiring, noisy bit of it.
Yeah, I didn't understand that. I've seen plenty of kids have fun at weddings. I dunno. When she referred to the father giving away bride as being sexist, it gave me a little insight into her personality...
If I were that little girls dad, I would have turned around to my little girl and told her, dont worry about what they say, you can always loose weight but you cant loose an ugly personality.
First story was easy to spot that her friend was a drug addict. The random 40$ & 80$ requests were a big giveaway. Then the boyfriend breaking in and pawning the gift off was just projection, as the real story was probably her being the one who pawned it off. This is typical drug addict behavior.
Like yeah sure benefit of the doubt we don't know the full true story like maybe she's just terrible with money and saving. Buuut a lot of her actions, requests and comments really does fall in line of addicts. Like the random money amounts and so many over the years, like 500 within 2 weeks in small amounts like 40 and 80. Or the weak excuses for money like father forgetting to drop off kids medicine with them so instead of having him drop it off needs to just buy a new one? If it's so important not like 8$ cold or allergy med, some medications need a doctor appointment and/or prescription. Them going crazy because they need money asap blowing up op phone is they didn't respond immediately even when they know they're busy at work or etc. Did they even buy that game console and have it "stolen", op took their word it was stolen and police involved, or pawn it like many addicts do, or bf stole and pawned it alone for a fix. Yeah it does fit with a junkie needing their fix. They keep having sob stories and excuses and guilt tripping op as many addicts manipulate others. Like you're ruining me and my kid's Christmas
Or even shopping/gambling addictions. They can ruin lives as fast as drugs. Not saying drugs are not absolutely hideous but with a family member who shops and another who gambles its devastating
The boyfriend thing could have been true, he pawned it for drug money since she couldn't score drug money any other way. But yeah that whole story was just one big red flag. Something sketchy was going down for sure.
There never was a Switch or boyfriend breaking into her apt. She just wanted money for whatever reason and needed a good story involving children, bad boyfriends and Christmas in order to prize some more money out of her friend.
Yeah, I kinda thing it the wrong person there that got labeled entitled... "I don't want my father walking me down the aisle and giving me away. Pfeh, it's my wedding, what do I care about my parents taking part in it, not like they had anything to do with me or anything". They didn't say who was paying for the wedding, but wouldn't surprise me if it was their parents. They did say something right though, namely that their pets were well-trained and well-behaved unlike their relatives children. And I'm assuming that also applies to her parents.
It was a little off putting wasn’t it. You felt there were a lot of bridges being burned and the ‘power’ of the invite hers to waive. I don’t understand why anyone would think it ok to bring their kids if not specifically invited to a wedding but the cutting off of her parents was sad. But we don’t know the history.
@@nehcrum So you're saying that bride and groom should plan their wedding how the others want it to be? With your opinion you're not an iota better than the entitled relatives. A wedding is the special day for those who get married, and NOT for crappy relatives to demand their children to take over as ringbearer/bridesmaid/be present despite it being a "no children allowed" event, even when OP and SO are very clear about their wishes. Besides, a dog as ringbearer is so incredible adorable. I would've loved to hear how that wedding turned out.
@@goldiemum3991 I said nothing about the kids. I was mostly talking about the father walking the bride down the aisle. A wedding ceremony is about showing off your marriage to friends and family, and shutting out your father like that is essentially snubbing him in front of the entire extended family and friends.
Someone scamming off you for 8 years? I wouldn't even give them a "heads up" about the cut off of free funds. I'd just say No and "Please pay back the Thousands you owe me" (that ensures you'll never hear from them again, not that you expect them to pay you back lol)
If she did not like the ring, I would honestly say to try with a ring pop at first, as it would be comical and still tasty, and then if you still decide to go with the unnecessary pointless tradition of wasting several months of salary on a useless ring... Then you might as well at least like the damn thing and go and pick it out together.
@@Catgirlbeatsu When I got engaged, and we were already living together, she also wasn't interested in an expensive ring, but would rather save money for the house. I thought she had to have _something_ though, so my solution was to get something that holds its value. Diamonds are a rip-off, but other beautiful large stones can be reasonable in price, and be much more distinctive and match what she likes to wear. The gold or platinum, on the other hand, not only holds its value but has gone up considerably.
I completely understand no kids at the wedding. But the animals? Not letting her dad walk her down the aisle? What an attitude. I'd stay home from that wedding, too.
Might as well just have it woth only the 2 of them. The way I look at it, weddings are not just about the union between two people but akso between two families. I did NOT like that OP at all.
I don't remember any kids at my wedding, but I also didn't make a big deal at all about them. I didn't ban them. Pretty sure most who had them paid for sitters on their own. What I did ban was flower petals being strewn about, and rice thrown at my wedding. The thought of how hard the petals would be to clean up had me refusing those flatly. and knowing pigeons will eat rice until they pop (from it expanding when it gets wet inside them) made me refuse the other. No one pitched a fit once I explained my reasoning.
Sometimes these stories make me mad because some of the OP’s in the stories allow themselves to be doormats and then later complain about it. I’ll never get it. There’s a difference between helping occasionally and then just plain supporting someone like a parent. Smh.
Never rag on a " fat" person anywhere. I am full size woman, and i love myself. Not every person should be a 2. As long as you are healthy stop the madness.
I agree children do not often enjoy wedding. I doubt whether animals do either. All I see with this woman is her alienating her family and friends for a day that is supposed to be about love and relationships.
Honestly if it weren't for the fact that he would be leaving his daughter with her horrible mother I doubt the father would have any issues going to jail, I know mine wouldn't as well as my sisters (trust me when some picked on the second to youngest of us three of our sister went and confronted the bullies, (one of them being the youngest of us 5) don't think I heard anything about it afterwards)
When I was a kid, I was with my youngest sis at a school playground, and two of her classmates showed up and started bothering her. I probably should have tried to contact their parents. Instead, I whipped rocks at the little shits until they decided to leave. I only regret neither of them bled.
Putting aside that yes, it's couple who decides on the wedding, if they fully pay for it, and others are there only spectators. But sometimes, you don't have ability or want to leave kids with anyone, especially, when all "close" family are going to be there. And calling walking to the altar with your dad "sexist" paints me not so pretty picture about OP. If dad was bad dad, and OP would simply not want him there, that would be ok, but it sounds more like OP is ungrateful brat, that sees isms everywhere and is generally antisocial narcist, but hey.. I don't know her full life story...
Fluff- I loved going to weddings as a kid. Great food and unlimited soda. Depending on the people getting married, there was also good music. What’s not to like?
When I was little, I did not hate weddings: they were huge gatherings held in a community center's hall (The P.N.A. if you care to know) and it was a gathering of extended family including other kids. There were rows of long tables and they always had a traditional meal which I like. The building featured a bowling alley, and they had rooms for kid's activities as well as a band with dancing after dinner, etc. I remember the first time we went to a wedding that was different. I was terribly confused -- and bored -- there was no place to sit (food was a buffet table) and nothing to do, and nobody there that I knew. The OP's story concerned family members, so those kids, had they attended, would have seen each other (all cousins or thereabouts) along with uncles, aunts, and grandparents. The OP said that all the family kids were poorly behaved. But were that not the case, I agree that having just one kid attend as a "plus no-sitter-available" would be boring for the kid, but if all the cousins were invited they should plan to have kids there and include accommodations so they have fun too.
At all the weddings I went to as a kid, we did exactly what that bride said. We would get bored and just go crazy running around. We even once got kicked out into the ballroom hallway, by the father of bride. To be far we did have a soda drinking contest, but I won so it was worth it.
I went to a wedding where kids weren't allowed and it sucked the happiness out of it. Close family members didn't go, and that's all that was talked about. That's all I remember about that one. And the bride in tears later because her brother didn't show, he has kids...
I was just thinking this. They're well within their rights to not have kids at the wedding, but let's hope no grudges are held. After all, the guests are also well within their rights not to show up
Tbf, most kids wouldn't want to go in the first place. I know I didn't. To a kid, it's basically a really long church service, which are already boring af. Most parents seem to just drag them along so they can look cute in the pictures.
I was on a roller coaster of emotions when I heard the second one. From smiling at basketball, frowning when they were bulling, raging when the parents chimed in etc.
Lady.... If you are going to complain about the ring your boyfriend is going to propose with.... Do you think you really deserve it? Or him? ITS AN ENGAGEMENT RING. The only thing that SHOULD matter is the fact that he loves you so much that he wants to marry you which is the ultimate symbol and commitment of love that a person can do. And you want to say no simply because you dont like the ring that looks rather pretty.
I was a ring bearer at my aunties wedding when I was 5, I had a chest infection and kept coughing the whole time! My family were terrified I was going to drop the rings in the pool! 😆 🤣
Don't agree with the bride not wanting to walk down the isle with her father, that's just sad. I think part of the wedding celebration is the people that love you, not just you. Why not just have a wedding alone then. I feel like weddings have been turned into popularity thing where two people are placed on a pedestal and admired.
It depends. There was a time if my Dad even attended my wedding, I would have had him removed. Also, not everyone gets along with or have a family to celebrate with.
_"So they're being 'honest' and that's ok? Alright fine! Here's some honesty. Your sons are _*_b-"_* For some reason I was FULLY expecting OP to end that sentence by *calling two kids **_"bitches"_* I guess _"bullies"_ is a little more appropriate for the situation... maybe it fits a bit better.
I've encountered people who use the "just being honest" excuse to badger, bully, and put down others. One of them I told, "You ever hear of being polite? It gets you so much further and you're not being an asshole by doing so." When asked, "how can I be honest and polite both?" I've told em, think about it, you'll find a way. Frex, the father of a friend of mine (funny man, btw), said there are always two ways to say everything. The example he used is the comment a lot of people say to a very homely person: Your face would stop a clock. The way he rephrased it, and it sounded like a compliment, "When I look at you, time stands still." Same thing, but very diplomatic. :) Root of the matter, you can be honest without being rude.
The animal wedding is just ridiculous...I get that it is your special day and your families are being a bit entitled, but isn't op basically doing the same? Like dang, do you really have to go through all of that all because you don't like kids???
I remember being in my Uncle's wedding as a kid. I didn't know what was going on but still knew it was a wedding. Though I was trying to sleep (During an event that music was playing) I think I was around 4 or 5
I think it depends on how strongly a person takes the symbolism of a wedding. If you listen to the traditional words attached to that part, it’s asked “who gives this woman” which ties in to days when women “belonged” to a man their whole lives. 1st a father (or other paternal male figure if the father was deceased) then the husband with that moment being the “transfer” of ownership. Which would make it sexist. Many people don’t take that symbolism to heart anymore or don’t consider it a transfer of ownership but rather a sweet moment and the words about “giving” the woman are taken more literally like “who is walking this woman down the isle to marry this man.” Since weddings these days are personal choices, they don’t consider that part sexist. Honestly, I’m sure there are people who still take it in the traditional sense and are happy with it being that way as they still believe in the “transfer” and have no issues with it. It all depends on the people who are getting married, and what matters to them.
About the ring: how to say no “I’m sorry but I’m too much of a selfish witch to accept a ring that does not meet my arbitrary standards. Please take this as a major red flag and break up with me as soon as possible.”
True. It’s your wedding and your rules. Just saying, if my children (all 4 are well behaved) were not invited, I wouldn’t attend. Again, your wedding, your rules.
I know someone who didn't have kids at the wedding and regretted it after. When my daughter was almost 4, she went to a wedding and had a blast! Danced the whole night away! I think it depends on the wedding, the party and how formal you are. Personally, I wouldn't exclude kids, though I eloped, so it was moot.
Considering how she treated her own parents, when her father wanted to be a part of his daughters wedding, I think it was the OP that was the entitled person in that story.
That girl should never started giving that roommate an "allowance" in the first place because it creates dependency by the moocher.I wouldn't be surprised if the moocher didn't sue because the other girl gave her money for 8 years. In court that could be considered dependancy and they make the lady keep paying. Depending on the state that might go bad for the girl telling the story.
I was one of the few kids that actually somewhat enjoyed going to weddings. I didn't enjoy wedding themselves. I enjoyed it when they have ice-cream. And I also enjoyed it when it's a wedding lf a relative because that means I'll be able to meet the large number of cousins I have who are otherwise impossible to meet up most of the due to the sheer number of them(My father has 7 sibilings and my mother has 4, all of whom are married with multiple children). Otherwise, there's nothing in a wedding I enjoyed.
"Please roast and then tell me how to tactfully say no you need to go get something different" Me (rubs hands gleefully): Challenge accepted! _(Ahem)_ Lady, you're so entitled even karens avoid you! Now, you march your entitled butt over to your sweetie and inform him that you're a cross between a bullet and a dodgeball and to go find a better girlfriend!
Hell no to weddings with kids involved. Someone's already claiming she's entitled. How? Because she has to put her foot down? What does she need to be respectful to her father for? He chose to throw a fit over seeing his daughter get married. That's just ridiculous. I would never throw out a chance to see my own child get married over something petty. At the end of the day, the day isn't about you. She's not unreasonable to demand no kids at a non-traditional wedding.
I was made to be a ring bearer for a wedding of a family friend when I was 3 or so. This was in an older, not well lit church like most modern ones are, and I still remember my 3-year-old perspective of not being able to see all the way down the aisle so it looked like I was being told to walk into darkness. I ran up the aisle crying, getting caught by the family friend, and slung over her shoulder in order to make me try again. You can imagine how well that worked out. In the end, my older brother took over fir me while I hid, balled up in the corner of a pew next to my mom. Kids in a wedding are not a good idea.
Sorry to hear that. While fluff may keep u warm on the inside and a light to your day, I really hope u have a way to keep warm on the outside. I'm in STL and I already had my heater on for a few minutes last night.
That last one, man growing up everyone always thought of what to do with kids, and usually we made sure there was a park, or area set aside and us kids where let run wild. as I got older I remember doing things like creating coloring pages or bringing my face painting kit. But I've also in my years known a few people who decided because of venue limits or choice of having an open bar decided not to have children allowed because it was easier or they didn't want to deal with them. I always went "fair, its your day" I guess not being raised as an entitled brat makes it easier to accept that people have different ideas of what makes for a perfect wedding. I'm sorry, a puppy ring bearer sounds cute as hell!
I am one of those people (referring to story 2) that would happily go into the cop car, in fact I'd be grinning ear to ear. The other dad wouldn't have any teeth to grin with. Hopefully I'm never put in that position.
Oh that was such an awful story- the bullying kids/parents. When my kid was 9, she was hanging out with her two classmates (also 9yo girls). My daughter is the type to stand up for herself and doesn't take any crap from anyone. She can't stand bullies. So these high school boys walk up to the park. One is a cousin to the sensitive friend she has. These boys begin to tease and mock the girls. I don't remember what was said- it has been a few years ago- but the boys were taken by surprise when my daughter matched them insult for insult. Her sensitive friend started crying because this was her cousin that was joining in this gang of boys in HIGH SCHOOL!! Picking on elementary school kids! My daughter told her to not let them see her tears cause "they aren't worth it" - her words. She then told them something that I told her was not a nice thing to say (even if they did deserve it) and they decided to leave because it made the girls laugh- even the sensitive one stopped crying for a bit. I walked them all home and told sensitive girl's grandmother what had happened. The cousin got grounded for what he did. The funniest part was that I know the ring leader boy's mother- I grew up thinking her adopted mom was my auntie so we still say we are cousins. I was telling her about it and we had a laugh when her son walked up. I asked him, "So, how does it feel to get burned by a 4th grader?" He turned red and walked off. None of the boys have bullied any other kids since that day. Lol
Yup - It's your wedding but don't be surprised when you have very ODD wedding plans if few people show up. Down the road 20-30 years you'll realize that your choices will have long term consequences. Oh, and I assume you don't plan on having children either, and that's really for the best. People who expect the entire wedding to be picture perfect have probably been watching too many movies and weddings of royalty. Again, your choice but you get to live with it for the rest of your lives.
The bullying story hit way too close to home. I was relentlessly bullied all thru elementary and middle school. At first my parents brushed it off, and believed the teachers when they said that "She should just be more easy to be friends with" Mind you elementary school was a total of 5 years of continuous torture, and in middle school I really tried so hard to be better and have friends, but unfortunately when you live in a small ass town in the middle of nowhere you either like/wear what everybody else wears or you're a black sheep. It was the year of the One Direction/Justin Bieber war and I was just getting into metal/rock bands from my mother and father's time (late 70'/early 80'). Girls talked about boys, getting a boyfriend and make up, I usually didn't take so much interest and started reading and drawing, mostly horror and dark fantasy. Ok you get the point, and I wasn't really tried to do it on purpose, it was literally a matter of "I don't like it I prefer this" So in my second year a new boy and his sister (he was 16 in 2° middle school and his sister was 17 in 3° middle school) and that was the moment in which my life just spiraled in a very dark place. He would constantly pick on me, rip my drawings, throw my books and sketchbooks in the toilet or out of the window, spreading dangerous and derogatory rumours about me. He even spit in my face and stuck about 4 bubblegums in my hair (I had long and, most importantly, CURLY HAIR) And one day he beaten me up, breaking some of my bones. And my father was BEYOND PISSED. He started taking time out of work so he could bring me to school and come pick me up. And those two punks started to bully me because of that, but that I didn't mind. I started to mind when they started to BULLY MY FATHER as well, while yelling horrible things about me. He never ceased to get in their faces and made them shut up, but they were acting cocky because they were still minor. Sometimes I had to beg him to not do something stupid. So one day my father talked to his brother (my uncle) about the matter, and that even by reporting them to the police wasn't doing anything. My cousins are about the same age as me, so they were minors also, but they took my uncle height and they were pretty buff. Being the only daughter between my uncle and my father, my cousins heard the story and went into protective mode. Every time they could they would come pick me up at school with my father, and they were not so kind with their choices of words and threats. So that's how he stopped bothering me. So remember people: never accept bullies. Stand up for someone who needs, so that one day somebody else will stand up for you when you need
The wedding story is pretty weird, okay not wanting Kids, I guess why not, its more work but undrestandable, but saying things like father giving his daughter on ceremony is sexist? The Hell it is pretty big and proud moment for fathers, that is sad way of thinking
Oh you are so right, kids do hate weddings! I've only been to one kid friendly wedding which was held in a country park with a large playground. The kids completely missed the ceremony, stopped by for food but left to get back to the fun.
Also I'm not a big fan of weddings or formal parties (I'm a tomboy but I like to paint my nails, wear chokers, uggs, Michael Kors boots, and anything adorable) I find wearing dresses and healed shoes restricting (I'm autistic and I can't stand being in one place wearing something so uncomfortable for too long)
Intro pic - Would happily roast her and contact her boyfriend to tell him he needs to go get something different in the gf department! Wedding story: How would animals perform those roels? That's what I want to know. But hey, more power to OP and thier fiancé. I hope their wedding went beautifully and they have kept clear of all those toxic people. Especially that father, lol. Yeah, the _only reason_ a gy would go to his daughter's wedding is so that he can "give her away."
During the third story to me personally the wedding story felt more like the bride and groom were being more of the entitled ones and not the others. The red flag came when she talk about the “sexiest” tradition of the father passing on his daughter to the groom (our how ever it’s called.) to me when it comes to a loving father it’s more of a symbol of the father stepping down as the main protector of his daughter and passing it on to the groom stating that it’s now the groom who most ensure his wife safety in a dangerous world and it’s why father usually are more angered by the daughters being in abusive marriages even more so now a day’s.
When I got married, our reception was outside. In part because we specifically wanted kids to have room to run. We even set up a table with frisbees, other outside toys and coloring supplies so they could have a good time. I respect people not wanting to have children at their wedding, but as for kids hating weddings - depends on who's throwing it, I guess. All the kids that came to ours had a blast!
The bullied girl, I’d be one of those happily in the back of the cop car. I was bullied. I don’t put up with it anymore. Kudos to Dad for maintaining himself better than I would.
Does the 2nd story come off as fake like a entitled fan fiction to anyone else? How a whole family of kids and adults joined together to bully and laugh at op's daughter just for being overweight, and then op scared and intimidated them so bad that the mean bully family left the park?
I want to go to this wedding, because some of the roles at the wedding can be done by animals and there's some I'm like how's that going to work? For example the ring bearer and flower girl. I'm not saying can't be done, but hard to believe it go good.
Lol the ring story is funny because I remember going on a date with a girl and she said when you get me a ring 💍 get it from Jared I was like ok🤔 lol after the date I never called her back and when she called to ask to go out I told her no we didn’t click 🤣🤣🤣
As to the ring, maybe he needs a new girlfriend. Story 1: Time to stop paying off this "friend". If she doesn't desist then get an attorney. Why is this person still bothering you for money? Story 2: Go to court and get custody. Wedding Story: It is your wedding. Do what you will. But the guests have the right not to come. You are a Bridezilla. I don't think the animal wedding is "cute". I wouldn't go to your wedding either.
Sad that so many people have sucky families.. kids or not if they were great families it wouldn't even be an issue. I don't care for childfree weddings myself as they are generally long, pedantic, and more about drinking but if your family's not the type where you WANT uncle Leroy's three littles in the party then your family not that connected anyways and regardless your decision should be respected..
Regarding the ring story:
The woman said that the boyfriend should get something different. I agree. For instance, a different girlfriend.
Right if I was the boyfriend in that story and found out my girlfriend was saying that about the ring I got, she’d be an ex so fast she’d still be writing the post about the ring.
@@AxelWolfeCT Imagine proposing to someone you know so little, you couldn't even anticipate she would do such a thing. Most likely those two deserve each other ...
@@brag0001 Most people don't propose without months to years of getting to know one another.
@@BrokensoulRider Sure, but that doesn't mean they know each other well. It really depends on how you use that time. You will only know if you work as a couple after you went through some stressful time together. If you are essentially just dating for years, you will never know ...
As someone who was married to a man that didn't want to be married and left me after 3 years, this made me SO MAD. You should just be happy that someone wants to spend their life with you. How ungrateful.

For the bullying story, Op wasn't wrong eventually a kid who gets bullied will feel like they have nothing to loose and tear the crap out of their tormentors, and yes speaking from personal experience on this. Side note to any kids who see this, if you see bullying don't stay silent about it!!!!
@William Schnabel I was bullied from pre-k all the way until I graduated from high school..I was severely bullied in junior high school it got so bad, that my principal threatened me with suspensions and detention I remember coming home and telling my parents what my principal had told me, the next morning I went to school my mother had to wait for our lawyers office to open once the law office was open my mother and our lawyer and paralegal heard everything I had relayed to them, next thing I know is I am being called into my principal's office and I sat back and watched how Mr. Viveros was torn a new one right in front of his staff and the assistant principal, then my lawyer looked at me and said if I wanted to start a lawsuit and I said not right now maybe in the future, I said what I want to do is to have the police called and have my bullies arrested for verbal threats and threats of violence against my person..he leaned over and dialed for the cops who came in 5 minutes I told the cops what I was going through and the assistant principal Mr. Jeffries called my bullies to the office which were 4 of them and they all got arrested and went to court and transferred schools..the next morning at school I breezed through the day with no hassles or threats..I carried a summons to court if my bullies tried anything with me..and said if any of you losers try anything this is a summons to the nearest courtroom and I will see to it your all locked up for the rest of the school year..years later I saw 3 of them at the mall in Dartmouth and 2 of the 3 had charges of public intoxication, Driving while under the influence, driving with intent to cause harm and shoplifting, 2 of the 3 I saw had kids and said some examples you are for your children and I turned around and walked away smiling in victory..one of them had thr audacity to ask if I still had the summons and I said yes I do and I plan using it to tell the judge and CPS why you don't deserve your children. All 3 faces dropped to the floor..last I heard neither of them have their kids.
@@MsWiccanpriestess Sadly my family did not have access to lawyer so I had to get more creative. His dad though when he was finally informed was irate to say the least because I showed them the referrals I had got which clearly said His son had instigated the issues and fights off school property even though it was a bus stop at another school in the district, and sent his kid to an all boys catholic military boot camp. He even managed to do so poorly at that and got held back 3 years. We were roughly the same age, but when I was a Senior in High school we was still a freshman.
I was the new kid. No older brothers,No cousin's. A kid who was related to everyone threatens me. I better give up my money. He had two football players with him. I was pinned at my locker. I took a Math textbook and hit him as hard as I could on the nose. Blood came out. The surprise on his face was priceless. His friends were encouraging him to put a beating on me. Living on a small farm I had lots of chores that kept me very fit. I picked him up and threw him on the floor. I straddled his body so he couldn't get me off of him. I grabbed a handful of hair and started bashing the back of his head into the floor. I was lifted off of him by my ear. The teacher doing this was built like a cigarette machine. The bully disappeared into the crowd.The teacher brought me to the vice principal still holding my ear. The next morning over the daily announcements the bully and I were told to report to the vice principal. The bully meets me in the hall. He starts to threaten me. I remind him of the lumps he has on the back of his head. I'll break your face before anyone can stop me. End result was his expulsion. He transferred to a vocational school. The next year a friend of his told me to sit down while he took off his football gear. He proceeded to tell me about the beating I had coming. Like I am supposed to wait around for it. I picked up a picnic bench the used in the locker room. Heavy Birch. Well made. I got it spinning and hit him in the knees. Kept up the momentum and hit him in the shoulder and side of the head. Threw the bench on him and left. I had been tasked with getting soccer balls and cones. Went back to soccer practice. My coach was not happy. He though I had been pestering cheerleaders,Delaying practice. I said I got into it with this football player. Told him about hitting him with a bench. I pointed to the door of the locker room. He will be coming out that door aiming for me. 10 seconds later he came out. Straight line to me. Coach got the squaky talky to the football coach. The football player got to push the sled the rest of practice. I ran around the field once. No one bothered me after that. The football player did almost 20 years in prison for beating his wife. He got 8 1/2 the first time. The got back together. The second time he got 12 years.

This was about eight years ago. I was in downtown Seattle waiting for a bus, when this, shall we say, "Aggressive panhandler" tries to extort some money. It's just the two of us and Ignore him so he tried harder. I casually ask " Tell me, have you ever had a near death experience?" He looks confused saying "No,why?"
I turned, lock his eyes with mine and smile, "Because, you are having one *NOW*"

First thing I noticed.
Yes I did
I don't see anything weird in it. I always have a ring on my ring finger because it fits it perfectly. I had it for years no matter if I have been single or in a relationship. A lot of people I know wear rings in whatever finger they look the nicest/fit the best.

MY Dad was in the SAS! ( spoiler...No...I wasn't !)
My thirteen year stepdaughter was getting some hassle from a boy at school.
I was picking her up from school one evening...( I figured a 'presence' might have a calming effect).
I spotted her talking to a bunch of her friends so headed towards them, just before I get there a boy got in front of her, and started with some rather 'choice' language.
I ended up standing directly behind him as he lets rip. She didn't even glance at me to acknowledge I was there !
When he stopped / ran out of breath, she told him...'You'd best leave me alone...or my Dad will have something to say about it'. 'Oh YEAH!?...Huh!...MY Dad was in the Royal Marines'!
She gave a little toss of her head and a derisory sniff...( the one girls are so good at ). 'Not a problem for my Dad'. 'Oh Yeah? 'an whys THAT'!?!!
She gave him a pitying look...'Three reasons, One he's six foot three inches tall ( true ) and two he weighs about 15 stone'...( that's 210 lbs...in imperial measurements, and also true )...then she paused.
'So?...'an whats the third reason then'!!??
She smiled sweetly. 'Cos HE was in the S.A.S!...and he's right behind you'!!!
( Lying little TOAD!...I've never been in the services !! ).
Boy: 'Yeah...suuure he was!
She gave an evil little grin at the boy...one that chilled me to the bone. ( It may be she's picked up some habits from me, if so...then I'd say she's got them of to perfection ).
Then she looked over his head to me. 'Hi Dad !'
'Hi sweetheart...everything OK'?
The boy spun on the spot, literally planted his face right onto my chest, he looked up, screamed 'Oh S**T'!!! then ran as fast as his legs would carry him.
She never had a problem with him after that, dunno why though ;-)
Props to her friends for keeping silent.
It would have been even more satisfying if the little "puke" had also shit his pants, and had to crab waddle away in terror!
Quite the mystery indeed. 😉
Your daughter traumatized that little sh@t for life 😂

I have a big family, grew up going to weddings, then catering weddings, we always ran around and played together at them (a family member owned the catering company and a function hall that we would regularly go to for events). We loved going and had so much fun. There were of course some weddings that kids were not allowed at, and no one complained (to my knowledge), I guess it’s different for each family, event and rules. I’ve never felt untitled to bring my kids if the invitation or people getting married say no kids. Either find a babysitter or don’t go
Weddings are really for the family. You want it to be personal? You can do it without a priest even, after all, the legally important part of a wedding does not contain the phrase "do you take this John Doe to love and to cherish" etc. The real important phrase is "you sign there on that dotted line, then you on that line, then I notarize it and send it in".
A wedding is about showing that married status to friends and family, a ceremony intended to show that it's official.
And cutting her father out of the wedding because she thinks it's sexist with the father giving away the bride? Unless her father abused her or neglected her, then the single most entitled person in that story was the OP.
Those kids and their "parents" made fun of my kid, they would be leaving in a coroner van.
Maim them.
Those kids will get their teeth knocked out soon enough. Someone who is even more sensitive will loose it on those shithead.
Or ( as I put it ) 'You can either leave on a stretcher or in a body bag ...your choice'. And yes...I've actually used that line. I had a bailiff turn up one day to repossess 'my' car ( I don't have one ). Three bailiffs, with two police officers ( there to 'keep the peace' ). Apparently they were looking for number 77...and I'm at number 77...the problem is they were looking for number 77 'of the road' if you get me...I live at number 77 in a block of flats on that road, the other side of the road there's ANOTHER 77 in a different block of flats. When he said he was 'coming in' I just told him calmly 'If you set one foot over this threshold and try to come in you'll be leaving either on a stretcher or in a body bag...your choice'. Police stepped forward, checked the paperwork and told him to leave...immediately.
Yeah, I don't think that story was real, a lot of this stories seem a little far fetched or embellished.
I told a fool exactly that - the cops and the coroner will be here in a minute; the cops will be here for me.
Kids hate weddings? I've never heard that. As a kid, we were told that we have to be bored sometimes and just wait the ceremony out, and we did. Afterwards during the party we would have a blast with the other kids and play outside. Maybe its another culture for me, but we always had tons of fun after being bored.
Totally agree with you. I can't imagine a wedding without some kids running around with lot of commotion and people around. Then maybe it's me. I wanted a totally traditional wedding with all the bells and whistles. I am an Indian so weddings are elaborate and long. I enjoyed every tiring, noisy bit of it.
Yeah, I didn't understand that. I've seen plenty of kids have fun at weddings. I dunno. When she referred to the father giving away bride as being sexist, it gave me a little insight into her personality...
If I were that little girls dad, I would have turned around to my little girl and told her, dont worry about what they say, you can always loose weight but you cant loose an ugly personality.
First story was easy to spot that her friend was a drug addict. The random 40$ & 80$ requests were a big giveaway. Then the boyfriend breaking in and pawning the gift off was just projection, as the real story was probably her being the one who pawned it off. This is typical drug addict behavior.
Like yeah sure benefit of the doubt we don't know the full true story like maybe she's just terrible with money and saving. Buuut a lot of her actions, requests and comments really does fall in line of addicts.
Like the random money amounts and so many over the years, like 500 within 2 weeks in small amounts like 40 and 80. Or the weak excuses for money like father forgetting to drop off kids medicine with them so instead of having him drop it off needs to just buy a new one? If it's so important not like 8$ cold or allergy med, some medications need a doctor appointment and/or prescription.
Them going crazy because they need money asap blowing up op phone is they didn't respond immediately even when they know they're busy at work or etc. Did they even buy that game console and have it "stolen", op took their word it was stolen and police involved, or pawn it like many addicts do, or bf stole and pawned it alone for a fix.
Yeah it does fit with a junkie needing their fix. They keep having sob stories and excuses and guilt tripping op as many addicts manipulate others. Like you're ruining me and my kid's Christmas
Or even shopping/gambling addictions. They can ruin lives as fast as drugs.
Not saying drugs are not absolutely hideous but with a family member who shops and another who gambles its devastating
Yes, and pawn shops have to give back any item they buy that's stolen. Was definitely a lie. Either the Switch never existed, or she sold it
The boyfriend thing could have been true, he pawned it for drug money since she couldn't score drug money any other way. But yeah that whole story was just one big red flag. Something sketchy was going down for sure.
There never was a Switch or boyfriend breaking into her apt. She just wanted money for whatever reason and needed a good story involving children, bad boyfriends and Christmas in order to prize some more money out of her friend.
The wedding story: OP sounds like she's getting off on the drama of it all.
Yeah, I kinda thing it the wrong person there that got labeled entitled...
"I don't want my father walking me down the aisle and giving me away. Pfeh, it's my wedding, what do I care about my parents taking part in it, not like they had anything to do with me or anything".
They didn't say who was paying for the wedding, but wouldn't surprise me if it was their parents. They did say something right though, namely that their pets were well-trained and well-behaved unlike their relatives children.
And I'm assuming that also applies to her parents.
It was a little off putting wasn’t it. You felt there were a lot of bridges being burned and the ‘power’ of the invite hers to waive. I don’t understand why anyone would think it ok to bring their kids if not specifically invited to a wedding but the cutting off of her parents was sad. But we don’t know the history.
That's the best way to deal with drama anyway.
@@nehcrum So you're saying that bride and groom should plan their wedding how the others want it to be? With your opinion you're not an iota better than the entitled relatives. A wedding is the special day for those who get married, and NOT for crappy relatives to demand their children to take over as ringbearer/bridesmaid/be present despite it being a "no children allowed" event, even when OP and SO are very clear about their wishes. Besides, a dog as ringbearer is so incredible adorable. I would've loved to hear how that wedding turned out.
@@goldiemum3991 I said nothing about the kids. I was mostly talking about the father walking the bride down the aisle. A wedding ceremony is about showing off your marriage to friends and family, and shutting out your father like that is essentially snubbing him in front of the entire extended family and friends.
Someone scamming off you for 8 years? I wouldn't even give them a "heads up" about the cut off of free funds. I'd just say No and "Please pay back the Thousands you owe me" (that ensures you'll never hear from them again, not that you expect them to pay you back lol)
the ring lady, ya i would dump her , or get her a worse ring just to spite her,
Propose to her with an actual Ring Pop candy in the box, except the proposal is not to get married, it's to break up, and there's only one option.
@@absolarix that is next level thinking :P
The good news is, it's from a satirical facebook group, so she isn't *actually* a megabitch
If she did not like the ring, I would honestly say to try with a ring pop at first, as it would be comical and still tasty, and then if you still decide to go with the unnecessary pointless tradition of wasting several months of salary on a useless ring... Then you might as well at least like the damn thing and go and pick it out together.
@@Catgirlbeatsu When I got engaged, and we were already living together, she also wasn't interested in an expensive ring, but would rather save money for the house.
I thought she had to have _something_ though, so my solution was to get something that holds its value. Diamonds are a rip-off, but other beautiful large stones can be reasonable in price, and be much more distinctive and match what she likes to wear. The gold or platinum, on the other hand, not only holds its value but has gone up considerably.
I completely understand no kids at the wedding. But the animals? Not letting her dad walk her down the aisle? What an attitude. I'd stay home from that wedding, too.
Might as well just have it woth only the 2 of them. The way I look at it, weddings are not just about the union between two people but akso between two families. I did NOT like that OP at all.
OMG. Ol boy should dump her. That is a beautiful ring! Entitled can't even begin to scratch the surface!
Probaly two full carats of diamond weight.
Disagree. Hideous ring.
@@Catgirlbeatsu lol that must be sarcasm
I don't remember any kids at my wedding, but I also didn't make a big deal at all about them. I didn't ban them. Pretty sure most who had them paid for sitters on their own. What I did ban was flower petals being strewn about, and rice thrown at my wedding. The thought of how hard the petals would be to clean up had me refusing those flatly. and knowing pigeons will eat rice until they pop (from it expanding when it gets wet inside them) made me refuse the other. No one pitched a fit once I explained my reasoning.
Sometimes these stories make me mad because some of the OP’s in the stories allow themselves to be doormats and then later complain about it. I’ll never get it. There’s a difference between helping occasionally and then just plain supporting someone like a parent. Smh.
I loved weddings as a kid, but they were always short ones with kid friendly receptions afterwards.
Never rag on the fat person at the gym. They are there trying to improve themselves.
And when they do will have the muscle mass to throw hard punch’s, da? Ask my tormentors from my childhood.
congratulate them, they're doin great if they accept that they gotta workout.
I never got why anyone would do that. Mocking fat people for going to a gym is like mocking sick people for going to a hospital.
Never rag on a " fat" person anywhere. I am full size woman, and i love myself. Not every person should be a 2. As long as you are healthy stop the madness.
I want to give the daughter in the second story the BIGGEST hug.
Sometimes you try to help people get back on their feet only to discover they never intended to get back on their feet in the first place.
I agree children do not often enjoy wedding. I doubt whether animals do either. All I see with this woman is her alienating her family and friends for a day that is supposed to be about love and relationships.
The most entitled person in that story was the OP.
I also noted she didn't mention who was paying for the wedding....
Honestly if it weren't for the fact that he would be leaving his daughter with her horrible mother I doubt the father would have any issues going to jail, I know mine wouldn't as well as my sisters (trust me when some picked on the second to youngest of us three of our sister went and confronted the bullies, (one of them being the youngest of us 5) don't think I heard anything about it afterwards)
On the nasty family bullying the little girl. Should have yelled back. "Well I can go on a diet but stupid is forever!
"Unlike stupid, you can fix fat."
0:50 "Who said it was for you?"

Har har
When I was a kid, I was with my youngest sis at a school playground, and two of her classmates showed up and started bothering her. I probably should have tried to contact their parents. Instead, I whipped rocks at the little shits until they decided to leave. I only regret neither of them bled.
That’s awesome.. my siblings were definitely not like that.!
Putting aside that yes, it's couple who decides on the wedding, if they fully pay for it, and others are there only spectators. But sometimes, you don't have ability or want to leave kids with anyone, especially, when all "close" family are going to be there. And calling walking to the altar with your dad "sexist" paints me not so pretty picture about OP. If dad was bad dad, and OP would simply not want him there, that would be ok, but it sounds more like OP is ungrateful brat, that sees isms everywhere and is generally antisocial narcist, but hey.. I don't know her full life story...
Then why the comment?

#1. Oh my god, $12,000 for a friend of a friend who is just a sponge!!!
Fluff- I loved going to weddings as a kid. Great food and unlimited soda. Depending on the people getting married, there was also good music. What’s not to like?
When I was little, I did not hate weddings: they were huge gatherings held in a community center's hall (The P.N.A. if you care to know) and it was a gathering of extended family including other kids. There were rows of long tables and they always had a traditional meal which I like. The building featured a bowling alley, and they had rooms for kid's activities as well as a band with dancing after dinner, etc.
I remember the first time we went to a wedding that was different. I was terribly confused -- and bored -- there was no place to sit (food was a buffet table) and nothing to do, and nobody there that I knew.
The OP's story concerned family members, so those kids, had they attended, would have seen each other (all cousins or thereabouts) along with uncles, aunts, and grandparents.
The OP said that all the family kids were poorly behaved.
But were that not the case, I agree that having just one kid attend as a "plus no-sitter-available" would be boring for the kid, but if all the cousins were invited they should plan to have kids there and include accommodations so they have fun too.
Yes, all the kids of her family members were poorly behaved. Including her parents daughter.
me after the first story: this is why I have trust issues
At all the weddings I went to as a kid, we did exactly what that bride said. We would get bored and just go crazy running around. We even once got kicked out into the ballroom hallway, by the father of bride. To be far we did have a soda drinking contest, but I won so it was worth it.
My heart broke for that little girl! I'm so glad she has such an amazing dad!!
I went to a wedding where kids weren't allowed and it sucked the happiness out of it. Close family members didn't go, and that's all that was talked about. That's all I remember about that one. And the bride in tears later because her brother didn't show, he has kids...
Oof
I was just thinking this. They're well within their rights to not have kids at the wedding, but let's hope no grudges are held. After all, the guests are also well within their rights not to show up
Tbf, most kids wouldn't want to go in the first place. I know I didn't. To a kid, it's basically a really long church service, which are already boring af. Most parents seem to just drag them along so they can look cute in the pictures.
I was on a roller coaster of emotions when I heard the second one. From smiling at basketball, frowning when they were bulling, raging when the parents chimed in etc.
Lady.... If you are going to complain about the ring your boyfriend is going to propose with.... Do you think you really deserve it? Or him?
ITS AN ENGAGEMENT RING.
The only thing that SHOULD matter is the fact that he loves you so much that he wants to marry you which is the ultimate symbol and commitment of love that a person can do. And you want to say no simply because you dont like the ring that looks rather pretty.
I was a ring bearer at my aunties wedding when I was 5, I had a chest infection and kept coughing the whole time! My family were terrified I was going to drop the rings in the pool! 😆 🤣
Don't agree with the bride not wanting to walk down the isle with her father, that's just sad. I think part of the wedding celebration is the people that love you, not just you. Why not just have a wedding alone then. I feel like weddings have been turned into popularity thing where two people are placed on a pedestal and admired.
It depends. There was a time if my Dad even attended my wedding, I would have had him removed. Also, not everyone gets along with or have a family to celebrate with.
@@pandorasbox4238 Except there was nothing in his story that would indicate he was a crappy dad.
_"So they're being 'honest' and that's ok? Alright fine! Here's some honesty. Your sons are _*_b-"_*
For some reason I was FULLY expecting OP to end that sentence by *calling two kids **_"bitches"_*
I guess _"bullies"_ is a little more appropriate for the situation... maybe it fits a bit better.
More fun would be to call them bastards, when we are speaking about honesty, considering how little the kids resemble their "father".
I've encountered people who use the "just being honest" excuse to badger, bully, and put down others. One of them I told, "You ever hear of being polite? It gets you so much further and you're not being an asshole by doing so."
When asked, "how can I be honest and polite both?"
I've told em, think about it, you'll find a way.
Frex, the father of a friend of mine (funny man, btw), said there are always two ways to say everything. The example he used is the comment a lot of people say to a very homely person:
Your face would stop a clock.
The way he rephrased it, and it sounded like a compliment, "When I look at you, time stands still."
Same thing, but very diplomatic. :)
Root of the matter, you can be honest without being rude.
that basketball story what gives the family the right mind to call op's daughter fat if that was me i would just smack them to get them thinking
"Our pets are well trained and well behaved, which is more than I can say about our relatives' kids." - Ouch!
The animal wedding is just ridiculous...I get that it is your special day and your families are being a bit entitled, but isn't op basically doing the same? Like dang, do you really have to go through all of that all because you don't like kids???
Perfectly dealt with. Good job Dad!
In response to the second story, if my son said stuff like that to another kid, he'd be in massive trouble.
I remember being in my Uncle's wedding as a kid. I didn't know what was going on but still knew it was a wedding. Though I was trying to sleep (During an event that music was playing) I think I was around 4 or 5
OP, needs to take a screen shot of all the borrowing instances and bank receipts and take that "friend" to court.
You're friend may not be entitled to your money, but you certainly are.
A Father walking his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day isn't sexist.
But the question that is asked is.
I think it depends on how strongly a person takes the symbolism of a wedding. If you listen to the traditional words attached to that part, it’s asked “who gives this woman” which ties in to days when women “belonged” to a man their whole lives. 1st a father (or other paternal male figure if the father was deceased) then the husband with that moment being the “transfer” of ownership. Which would make it sexist.
Many people don’t take that symbolism to heart anymore or don’t consider it a transfer of ownership but rather a sweet moment and the words about “giving” the woman are taken more literally like “who is walking this woman down the isle to marry this man.” Since weddings these days are personal choices, they don’t consider that part sexist.
Honestly, I’m sure there are people who still take it in the traditional sense and are happy with it being that way as they still believe in the “transfer” and have no issues with it.
It all depends on the people who are getting married, and what matters to them.
I hope the lady who was shaming the ring was not the intended recipient.
God bless that guy, that stood up for his daughter.
About the ring: how to say no “I’m sorry but I’m too much of a selfish witch to accept a ring that does not meet my arbitrary standards. Please take this as a major red flag and break up with me as soon as possible.”
At my wedding we had the kids running around everywhere! I loved it.
Placing animals above children ... I'd totally say 'yes, yes I am' to that.
True. It’s your wedding and your rules. Just saying, if my children (all 4 are well behaved) were not invited, I wouldn’t attend. Again, your wedding, your rules.
are your children young or old? cuz if they're young, would they even enjoy a wedding?
I know someone who didn't have kids at the wedding and regretted it after. When my daughter was almost 4, she went to a wedding and had a blast! Danced the whole night away! I think it depends on the wedding, the party and how formal you are. Personally, I wouldn't exclude kids, though I eloped, so it was moot.
Considering how she treated her own parents, when her father wanted to be a part of his daughters wedding, I think it was the OP that was the entitled person in that story.
That girl should never started giving that roommate an "allowance" in the first place because it creates dependency by the moocher.I wouldn't be surprised if the moocher didn't sue because the other girl gave her money for 8 years. In court that could be considered dependancy and they make the lady keep paying. Depending on the state that might go bad for the girl telling the story.
Glad I wasn't invited to that wedding. It was an intentional insult to the family.
The bride and groom seem entitled in the last story.
Nobody needs a Nintendo Switch. I don't have any game consoles, never plan to own one, and I'm living quite well without.
I was one of the few kids that actually somewhat enjoyed going to weddings. I didn't enjoy wedding themselves. I enjoyed it when they have ice-cream. And I also enjoyed it when it's a wedding lf a relative because that means I'll be able to meet the large number of cousins I have who are otherwise impossible to meet up most of the due to the sheer number of them(My father has 7 sibilings and my mother has 4, all of whom are married with multiple children). Otherwise, there's nothing in a wedding I enjoyed.
"Please roast and then tell me how to tactfully say no you need to go get something different"
Me (rubs hands gleefully): Challenge accepted! _(Ahem)_
Lady, you're so entitled even karens avoid you! Now, you march your entitled butt over to your sweetie and inform him that you're a cross between a bullet and a dodgeball and to go find a better girlfriend!
The best part of waking up is your wonderful stories over a cup of tea! Stay safe dear.
Hell no to weddings with kids involved. Someone's already claiming she's entitled. How? Because she has to put her foot down? What does she need to be respectful to her father for? He chose to throw a fit over seeing his daughter get married. That's just ridiculous. I would never throw out a chance to see my own child get married over something petty. At the end of the day, the day isn't about you. She's not unreasonable to demand no kids at a non-traditional wedding.
Just woked up and got a new dark fluff video. Today is going to be good
I was made to be a ring bearer for a wedding of a family friend when I was 3 or so. This was in an older, not well lit church like most modern ones are, and I still remember my 3-year-old perspective of not being able to see all the way down the aisle so it looked like I was being told to walk into darkness. I ran up the aisle crying, getting caught by the family friend, and slung over her shoulder in order to make me try again. You can imagine how well that worked out. In the end, my older brother took over fir me while I hid, balled up in the corner of a pew next to my mom.
Kids in a wedding are not a good idea.
I may not have power for a few days, but I have Fluffy to be a bright spot in my day!
Central American?
Sorry to hear that. While fluff may keep u warm on the inside and a light to your day, I really hope u have a way to keep warm on the outside. I'm in STL and I already had my heater on for a few minutes last night.
Stay safe and hoping things go well! ❤️

@@faithlyngrace2517 Thanks! Got the kerosene heater going and told the cats to pretend we're camping. They just lay by the heater and ignore me
That last one, man growing up everyone always thought of what to do with kids, and usually we made sure there was a park, or area set aside and us kids where let run wild. as I got older I remember doing things like creating coloring pages or bringing my face painting kit.
But I've also in my years known a few people who decided because of venue limits or choice of having an open bar decided not to have children allowed because it was easier or they didn't want to deal with them.
I always went "fair, its your day"
I guess not being raised as an entitled brat makes it easier to accept that people have different ideas of what makes for a perfect wedding.
I'm sorry, a puppy ring bearer sounds cute as hell!
I am one of those people (referring to story 2) that would happily go into the cop car, in fact I'd be grinning ear to ear. The other dad wouldn't have any teeth to grin with.
Hopefully I'm never put in that position.
Oh that was such an awful story- the bullying kids/parents. When my kid was 9, she was hanging out with her two classmates (also 9yo girls). My daughter is the type to stand up for herself and doesn't take any crap from anyone. She can't stand bullies.
So these high school boys walk up to the park. One is a cousin to the sensitive friend she has. These boys begin to tease and mock the girls. I don't remember what was said- it has been a few years ago- but the boys were taken by surprise when my daughter matched them insult for insult.
Her sensitive friend started crying because this was her cousin that was joining in this gang of boys in HIGH SCHOOL!! Picking on elementary school kids! My daughter told her to not let them see her tears cause "they aren't worth it" - her words. She then told them something that I told her was not a nice thing to say (even if they did deserve it) and they decided to leave because it made the girls laugh- even the sensitive one stopped crying for a bit.
I walked them all home and told sensitive girl's grandmother what had happened. The cousin got grounded for what he did.
The funniest part was that I know the ring leader boy's mother- I grew up thinking her adopted mom was my auntie so we still say we are cousins. I was telling her about it and we had a laugh when her son walked up. I asked him, "So, how does it feel to get burned by a 4th grader?" He turned red and walked off. None of the boys have bullied any other kids since that day. Lol
Woo hoo ! Love you Fluff ❤️🌼
Yup - It's your wedding but don't be surprised when you have very ODD wedding plans if few people show up. Down the road 20-30 years you'll realize that your choices will have long term consequences. Oh, and I assume you don't plan on having children either, and that's really for the best. People who expect the entire wedding to be picture perfect have probably been watching too many movies and weddings of royalty. Again, your choice but you get to live with it for the rest of your lives.
Preach!
The bullying story hit way too close to home.
I was relentlessly bullied all thru elementary and middle school.
At first my parents brushed it off, and believed the teachers when they said that "She should just be more easy to be friends with"
Mind you elementary school was a total of 5 years of continuous torture, and in middle school I really tried so hard to be better and have friends, but unfortunately when you live in a small ass town in the middle of nowhere you either like/wear what everybody else wears or you're a black sheep. It was the year of the One Direction/Justin Bieber war and I was just getting into metal/rock bands from my mother and father's time (late 70'/early 80'). Girls talked about boys, getting a boyfriend and make up, I usually didn't take so much interest and started reading and drawing, mostly horror and dark fantasy. Ok you get the point, and I wasn't really tried to do it on purpose, it was literally a matter of "I don't like it I prefer this"
So in my second year a new boy and his sister (he was 16 in 2° middle school and his sister was 17 in 3° middle school) and that was the moment in which my life just spiraled in a very dark place.
He would constantly pick on me, rip my drawings, throw my books and sketchbooks in the toilet or out of the window, spreading dangerous and derogatory rumours about me. He even spit in my face and stuck about 4 bubblegums in my hair (I had long and, most importantly, CURLY HAIR)
And one day he beaten me up, breaking some of my bones. And my father was BEYOND PISSED.
He started taking time out of work so he could bring me to school and come pick me up. And those two punks started to bully me because of that, but that I didn't mind. I started to mind when they started to BULLY MY FATHER as well, while yelling horrible things about me.
He never ceased to get in their faces and made them shut up, but they were acting cocky because they were still minor. Sometimes I had to beg him to not do something stupid.
So one day my father talked to his brother (my uncle) about the matter, and that even by reporting them to the police wasn't doing anything. My cousins are about the same age as me, so they were minors also, but they took my uncle height and they were pretty buff. Being the only daughter between my uncle and my father, my cousins heard the story and went into protective mode.
Every time they could they would come pick me up at school with my father, and they were not so kind with their choices of words and threats.
So that's how he stopped bothering me.
So remember people: never accept bullies. Stand up for someone who needs, so that one day somebody else will stand up for you when you need
Finally another video yessss!
I love the ring! It's simple, but still makes a statement. But I have always been for the simplicity in jewellery 🤷🏼♀️
The wedding story is pretty weird, okay not wanting Kids, I guess why not, its more work but undrestandable, but saying things like father giving his daughter on ceremony is sexist? The Hell it is pretty big and proud moment for fathers, that is sad way of thinking
Her: "I told my son he would get a Nintendo switch for Christmas!"
Me: "Tell your son you lied!"
Oh you are so right, kids do hate weddings! I've only been to one kid friendly wedding which was held in a country park with a large playground. The kids completely missed the ceremony, stopped by for food but left to get back to the fun.
0:43 that person doesn’t deserve the right to be alive anymore after that
Edit: that wedding story was a nice one good on the bride for saying that
I love the idea of animals replacing kids at a wedding
Also I'm not a big fan of weddings or formal parties (I'm a tomboy but I like to paint my nails, wear chokers, uggs, Michael Kors boots, and anything adorable) I find wearing dresses and healed shoes restricting (I'm autistic and I can't stand being in one place wearing something so uncomfortable for too long)
Intro pic - Would happily roast her and contact her boyfriend to tell him he needs to go get something different in the gf department!
Wedding story: How would animals perform those roels? That's what I want to know. But hey, more power to OP and thier fiancé. I hope their wedding went beautifully and they have kept clear of all those toxic people. Especially that father, lol. Yeah, the _only reason_ a gy would go to his daughter's wedding is so that he can "give her away."
I love this Dad!!
The entitled money grubbing friend story reminds me of that saying... "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
During the third story to me personally the wedding story felt more like the bride and groom were being more of the entitled ones and not the others. The red flag came when she talk about the “sexiest” tradition of the father passing on his daughter to the groom (our how ever it’s called.) to me when it comes to a loving father it’s more of a symbol of the father stepping down as the main protector of his daughter and passing it on to the groom stating that it’s now the groom who most ensure his wife safety in a dangerous world and it’s why father usually are more angered by the daughters being in abusive marriages even more so now a day’s.
Uh no u just overlooked the whole story didn’t u
When I got married, our reception was outside. In part because we specifically wanted kids to have room to run. We even set up a table with frisbees, other outside toys and coloring supplies so they could have a good time. I respect people not wanting to have children at their wedding, but as for kids hating weddings - depends on who's throwing it, I guess. All the kids that came to ours had a blast!
The bullied girl, I’d be one of those happily in the back of the cop car. I was bullied. I don’t put up with it anymore. Kudos to Dad for maintaining himself better than I would.
That story with the bullying family. Situations like that is what pepper spray was made for.
"Your daughter is fat"
Me"Let me call my John wick friend and right down thier address that is just over there"
Does the 2nd story come off as fake like a entitled fan fiction to anyone else? How a whole family of kids and adults joined together to bully and laugh at op's daughter just for being overweight, and then op scared and intimidated them so bad that the mean bully family left the park?
I want to go to this wedding, because some of the roles at the wedding can be done by animals and there's some I'm like how's that going to work? For example the ring bearer and flower girl. I'm not saying can't be done, but hard to believe it go good.
Lol the ring story is funny because I remember going on a date with a girl and she said when you get me a ring 💍 get it from Jared I was like ok🤔 lol after the date I never called her back and when she called to ask to go out I told her no we didn’t click 🤣🤣🤣
As to the ring, maybe he needs a new girlfriend. Story 1: Time to stop paying off this "friend". If she doesn't desist then get an attorney. Why is this person still bothering you for money? Story 2: Go to court and get custody. Wedding Story: It is your wedding. Do what you will. But the guests have the right not to come. You are a Bridezilla. I don't think the animal wedding is "cute". I wouldn't go to your wedding either.
bullies suck. right on op ! you did right by your daughter. you rock !
Aww... we love you too, DF.
Sad that so many people have sucky families.. kids or not if they were great families it wouldn't even be an issue. I don't care for childfree weddings myself as they are generally long, pedantic, and more about drinking but if your family's not the type where you WANT uncle Leroy's three littles in the party then your family not that connected anyways and regardless your decision should be respected..
