AITA for having rules on when my teenage children wake up?

I, (43F), have four kids. (18F, 18F, 16F, and 12F)

They're homeschooled.

I have a specific set of rules for when they need to be up every morning. These rules have been there since they were young, and apply at all times, even if they claim to be sick.

On weekdays, you must be up and ready for the day by 8 AM.

On Saturdays, you must be up and ready for the day by 10 AM.

On Sundays, you must be up and ready for the day by 6 AM. (To make it to church)

Two of them, (18F and 16F), are doing college classes, and they all share a room.

Since school is currently out of session, 16F is arguing that they technically don't "Need" to be up that early, due to the shifts they work at their job being in the afternoon.

AITA for not changing my rules?

It would be fun to re-learn french, but specifically go for one of the African dialects, just to make it clear that even if I only learned the language to be able to talk to more people, I have no respect for the colonialism. It took immense violence to put french into Africa, but now no amount of violence can take Africa out of french. And I'm joining this fight specifically against you.

AITA for being offended my wealthy boyfriend told me to sell my blood to pay for groceries?

AITA?

So, I (26F) work full time in a typical 9-5 and make about 56-60k per year, after tax and deductions I get around $2.6k-3.2k per month in a career that I enjoy. I work hard and my goal is to grow in this career and eventually get to around 70-80k per year in 5 or so years. My boyfriend (33M) makes between $5-8k per month after tax, depending on his business. Once a or twice a year it’s $12-15k in a month. We’ve been together for about two years.

I ended up with some credit card debt ($6k), which I take responsibility for, when I was off work for medical reasons for about a year. I’m working on catching up now but the payments unfortunately cost me a couple hundred per month depending on what I can afford. I am trying hard to not be using my debt just to stay afloat. I want to get debt free and close those accounts. I might be broke as a result of this but I know I’m not poor.

I have my own place that costs me around $1400 per month and usually a roommate that helps with $600 of that. He spends a lot of time here. My car costs me $300-$500 per month including payments, insurance and gas. I pay my own bills. His parents gave him his car and pay for his phone and car insurance. His rent is around $500 per month in a shared house as his preferred setup. His parents are well off and don’t see a reason to pass the bills they’re already paying onto him.

I expressed I was struggling with gas and groceries and his response was to tell me to go to the public food bank and/or sell my blood. Legally you can get reimbursed between $50-$90 depending on the organization you go through for blood donations.

I told him I thought that was kind of hurtful and he told me to be more of a hustler. He made the joke that my blood is “hot” and he wants me to sell it, in an attempt to be flattering.

AITA for being offended by this suggestion?

Maomao could do whatever the fuck she wanted forever in the palace like

If a court lady won’t let her, most—if not all—of the top concubines at a given moment would have her back

If the concubines don’t have jurisdiction she just has to think about the concept of family dinner in the vicinity of her bio dad and he’ll abuse his major political power to fit her whims

If it’s beyond his political maneuvering she could link pinkies with the crown prince and he’d beg to move mountains for her

And at the end of the day if none of that worked the emperor would pardon her for whatever she does bc he’d think it’s funny

The way Mao Mao is yearning more quietly for Jinshi I barely noticed it in the anime it's so obvious now that's she rejects her feelings because of her position. She is a curious cat, experiencing what her sisters warned her not to try, but she loves testing poisons on herself.

There is simply something about the way she brushes his cheek, she way she silently looks at him, the way they just click as partners and trust each other whenever they're working on a case. How she was almost unconscious and bleeding in his arms, but still looking at him as if he was the most precious flower in the world. The most obvious thing to me is how she never rejects his hugs and any form of kinship with him. We all know Mao Mao can reject people (La clan) if she wants to. She feels safe with him, she feels comfortable enough to throw a fit to taste poison, to get a little bit too excited for ingredients (climbing on his desk) and to dance around him.

Long short story she is a simp just like anybody else in the palace. But she simps with dignity and tries to know him a little better.

AITAH I am not allowing my daughter to wear her late moms wedding dress even though I let my other daughter wear it?

I will try to be as clear as possible. I have four kids, this is about my middle child Abby (fake name). Abby was an addict. She went off to college and came back in the first semester an addict. Soon after, she dropped from college and got much worse. My late wife and I tried to get her into rehab but she would just run the first day. Her relationship with the rest of the family deteriorated very quickly. She was soon kicked out of our homes permanently when she was 20.

My wife soon got cancer and we stopped giving money altogether to Abby because it needed to go to the treatment. Abby broke into our home and ransacked it . This included heirloom pieces that were passed own from my wife's mother. She also left our doors open and our two cats escaped., we never found them. This broke my wife, and she started to go downhill after. My wife made it clear that Abby has gotten her inheritance already and that she wants nothing else to go to her, she was very clear not to allow her to have anything else or borrow anything. My wife passed and Abby didn't even come to the funeral.

Abby is now 26 and has been clean for a year. She is planning on getting married next year. She called me and asked if she could use Mom's wedding dress, and I told her no. This started an argument about how its unfair because my oldest daughter did wear it last year ( Abby was not invited to the wedding). She claims it is unfair and that she was her mother too. I informed her she already got many things from her mother and pond them off for money.

I need an outside opinion, I cant go to my family becuase everyone has strong opinions about Abby.

AITA for blocking someone who made me uncomfortable without explanation?

I (23NB) was in a relationship with R (25NB), I met this poly woman who I'll call A (27F) at a party. I was drunk and revealed to her and her polycule that me and R started out as an open relationship, and then R decided to make it a closed relationship because they weren't comfortable. Me and R didn't have time to do anything with anyone else, and I was bummed out but understanding.

Since the party, A texted me everyday saying I should talk to R about becoming open again. I was having relationship issues with R, but being closed wasn't a big deal.

Well, weeks later, R broke up with me. I immediately went no contact. A started taking me to parties to cheer me up, we'd always talk about kinks and sexual stuff (it's a normal conversation topic with all of my friends, we're very kinky) and she asked if I ever wanted to try ropes. I said yes because why not. But then she started asking for a day, and I didn't think she meant WITH HER.

Still, A and her polycule (and R in the past, too) used to do ropes things in big groups, so when she asked if I was free on one day, I said yes, I was.

On the agreed day I found out she wanted to be at my house and we'd be alone. And I said I was feeling sick and postponed, and changed the location to her office.

I was actually feeling sick when we had to meet on the new day, but I wanted to get this over with. I didn't want to but I tried to hide it. She goes on to do the agreed stuff, then kisses me without asking for consent first while I was tied. But I guess she didn't realize I wasn't into her or I didn't really want to do anything more than ropes.

There were many other details that made me uncomfortable, a lot actually. I believe she wanted to have s3x, and she started getting really annoying, insisting I'd stay longer, the whole night. I asked to leave and she wouldn't let me. I spent two hours convincing her, and in the end I could go away.

That's what hurts the most. But anyway, me and R got back together, and she started acting weird, saying it was a bad choice and she was angry that she couldn't do things with me anymore because I was in a closed relationship again.

Last week she invited me to a huge party with the whole extended friend group, about 60 people, but she didn't invite R. R got angry and advised me to block her everywhere.

I did but I'm feeling really guilty because I didn't give her any explanation. AITA?
