  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Riley.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: And this is Dakota, your favorite OK Storytime host. And
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: we've got some great stories coming up. But before that,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: we have a quick two minute break from the sponsors
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: that keep the show alive. My family demanded grandchildren and
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: used inheritance to threaten me.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: I hope the family's really poor and the inheritance was
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: like 15 bucks.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: My fiance and I have been in a relationship for
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: the past 10 years and we've recently got engaged. While
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: it's understandable that 10 years might sound like a bit
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: too much, we started dating really early, and getting married
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: was not a priority for either of us. We actually
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: preferred to focus on our studies and career for a while.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: She's a civil engineer, and I'm a medical student after
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: getting a bachelor's and a master's. I do freelancing as
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: a developer to pay for my living expenses.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of nerdy. He was like, okay, okay, okay, okay.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I don't want kids, but first you need to know
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: all of my background in education. Yes.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: I'm a really smart, cool guy, okay?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: I have a bachelor's.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I'm working on the PhD.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: As we've been a couple for a long time, it's
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: quite common for people to ask us when we're going
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: to get married and when we're having kids. While we
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: are getting married, as soon as I finish med school,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: we decided not to have children a long time ago.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: And we're still very certain of that decision as both
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: of us are more career than family oriented. However, since
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: the engagement, our families have started to put more pressure
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: on us to get married soon and have children. Even
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: though we've told them plenty of times that's not going
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: to happen. My fiance and I live together and we're
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: completely independent from our families financially. Some time ago, during
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: a video chat, we ended up getting into a heated
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: argument with our families for finally snapping at their ceaseless
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: nagging for grandchildren. And we have been strained ever since.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: By the way, this comes from Helpfully Unarmed. And if
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: you want some of your own stories, go to the
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: r slash okstories.com subreddit. I'm Riley.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I'm Claire.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: And I'm Sophia. And Claire, do you want to introduce yourself?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay. I'm Claire.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: Um.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy to be here. I do stand up
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: with Riley sometimes. Let's see. I was on a few
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: weeks ago.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I'm from Michigan. I don't know. What else? What else
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: do I say to introduce myself?
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: Comedian.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I'm a comedian.
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Five, six. These are my hands. That's like an acting reference.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: I am okay to shave.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I'm okay to shave. Not okay to bleach my hair, though.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I'm the middle of three daughters. It all makes sense.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, that's why she's so desperate for attention,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: because she never got any.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: That makes a lot more sense. I know Claire even
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: more now. And Claire's going to help us read stories goofily.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: We're just going to be silly. You guys have anything
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: you want to add down below?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Please do.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Now our family's asked us to meet them for a
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: lunch party. family inn at my parents' house. We don't
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: live in the same city, but it's close enough that
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: we can go there for something like this. And that's
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: when the following situation transpired. We finally arrived early enough
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: to help out in preparing everything for the lunch. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: for the next hour or so, things were pretty all right.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: But after we had lunch and we sat at the
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: coffee table to chat, it's customary here, the room got
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: visibly tense. Our parents, both hers and mine, started a
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: speech about how much they put into us, how much
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: they work for us, and how much family means to them.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: I was already sensing some crappy thing coming up, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I kept listening. Suddenly, they said that during one of
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: their talks, they came to a decision that if my
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: fiancé and I didn't give them grandchildren, after all they've
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: done for us, we would be cut out of their wills.
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: What?
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: That's crazy? Oh, yeah, your job is being a parent.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: You did so much.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you brought me into this where I
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: didn't ask to be here. But it's also like they
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: already said that they're financially independent from their parents. So
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: it's like, okay, you're not going to get the big
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: inheritance when you're parents.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: But they both have three PhDs, and I'm guessing... They
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: both got some money from their parents.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's on his way to becoming a doctor.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: So here's their reasoning. My brother is attracted to the
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: same gender, and as of now, has no intention of
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: adopting or having any alternative to having children, and I
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: was the only option in continuing the family?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Wait, really quick. This is alternative children. You don't understand me. Okay,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: go on, sorry.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: He was not there, and... is as mortified as I am.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: She's the oldest sister. Her youngest sister is still in
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: high school and thus must set an example by having
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: a family and continuing the family. Now, if that's not psychotic,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I have no clue what is. What do you think
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: of these reasonings?
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just think they must be a very
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: conservative family to be like, you got to set a
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: good example. You have to be a good mother. You
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: got to be baking bread. You got to be keeping house,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Feeding the cows.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Feeding the cows, milking the butter, turning it up, whipping it,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: making it into cream. So it's hard for me to
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: relate to this because my parents are super liberal. Super,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: super liberal.
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: My parents are completely opposite.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: So are your parents begging you to have kids right now?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: So this is what's nice. My parents aren't pushy, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: one of my brothers is already married and one of
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: my cousins already has two kids. And I'm the only
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: one that's not married or having kids. So I'm kind
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: of like, oh, that buys them time. They're not going
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: to be like, so when's it your turn?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Because there's already little babies running around. Exactly.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: They're already entertained.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I think I'm allowed to say this now. My sister
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: is pregnant right now. Oh, congrats.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Is this your first time being an auntie?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: It's my first time being an aunt.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And so we were really trying to not pressure them
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: into having kids because it's like, you don't have to
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: if you don't want to. But now that it's coming,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: we're like, yes!
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Yes!
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Finally!
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Finally!
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Our lineage will continue and we'll get to see those
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: fat little cheeks. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So I...
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I have to sympathize a little bit with the parents
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: because I understand it's really fun having babies around.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: But I firmly believe that the worst thing you can
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: do for humanity is bring unwanted kids into this world.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: That's how you get bad people. That's how you.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Get Knicks fans.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Zinga! Zinga!
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: We quickly looked between ourselves and immediately left their house.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: We haven't spoken to them since, but as far as
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: we are aware... We are disowned by them now. I
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: never thought I would have to go through that just
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: because I don't want to have children. But it just
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: shows how much entitlement they think they have. Cheers.
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: Edit.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I did not expect this to grow so much in
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: just a few hours. Thank you. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Sadly,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I don't think I'll be able to respond to everyone.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: You're so popular. We get it. My fiance and I
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: have absolutely no interest in their inheritance. We've been fine
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: on our own for a long time and we can
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: take care of ourselves. Thus, we have absolutely no intention
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: of contesting their will. We don't need that money, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: we don't want it. I only posted this here due
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: to the absurdity of their actions. We have decided to
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: cut contact with them and uninvite them from our wedding.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: My brother is giving us full support on this, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: as he is my best man, this already means the
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: world to me. It's regrettable that it came to this outcome,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: but We are not going to let them run our lives.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Some people asked us why we don't want to have kids.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: There are a few reasons for that, especially the fact
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: that we are both extremely focused on our careers. We
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: get it. Having a child is a responsibility to raise
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: someone and give them the affection, lessons, and time needed.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Neither of us want to go through that just to
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: birth someone. They got their PhDs to take care of.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: They've got PhDs. Okay. I feel as though I have
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to address this. I'm really sorry. I did not know
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that born sleeping was code for stillborn. I'm really, really
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: sorry for that. I'm really sorry for your loss.
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: I did not know that either. Wait, so they said that? Oh,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: she said that. Fatherfly said that. Got it. Got it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know that either, though. I thought it
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: was like, wow, look at that. Even as a woman doctor.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I should have called you out on that.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: That was a test and you failed.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: And I failed immediately. Not knowing Reddit slang.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: So we also have firm beliefs that the world has
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: already enough people without us putting someone else on it. Lastly,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: neither of us really like kids. As bad as that
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: might sound, we have no intention of ever giving birth
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: to a child update.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Update, I'm a pediatrician. That's the kind of doctor I am.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Really don't, but I don't really like kids. I find
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: them quite annoying.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the inheritance isn't that big for them
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: to kind of like, eh, we're not changing our mind.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: If it was like millions of dollars, one kid, hire
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: a nanny. Come on.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Wait, that's such a cynical way to look at kids, Riley.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: One kid, a million dollars? It's like, then there's just
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: like one person running around like, Yeah, my parents don't
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: really like me that much, but they wanted a million dollars,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: so I was kind of forced into this world all alone. Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: he'll get a cut then when they pass away. and
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: then the cycle just continues. This is how you get
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: inherited drama. This is called patterns of generational drama. Everyone's
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: getting a million dollars to have one kid.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Dude, that's how the kings and queens did it back
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: in the day. Yeah, we have an update a month later,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Sophia Clare. Any predictions on what might happen?
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I feel like the only update could be, whoops,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: we got pregnant.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: That's what I thought.
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: They're just going to have an accident. Little kid enters
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: the chat and they get all the money.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: An accident, baby. I have some bad news, everyone. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: did not know the story was going to be this long.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: I need to leave.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I'm going to call Savannah real quick.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: A month later.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Anyhow.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: They struck again and my fiance is really fuming with
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: rage now and wants to share the situation with you all.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: There are some points that will need clarification and I'll
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: try to make them along the way. First, as we
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: mentioned in our last post, due to the absurdity of
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: the situation our parents were imposing on us, we felt
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: that they do not want them at our wedding. Thus,
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: we rescinded their invitation as a whole.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: My brother is my best man and he supports us wholeheartedly.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Now we get to the point of the post. After
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: we left my parents home that day, we had absolutely
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: zero contact with them. They made their decision and we
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: made ours. We thought that was going to be it. Now,
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: one thing that needs to be clarified, our wedding was
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: planned to be happening in October 17th. However, due to
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: the pandemic outbreak, these large gatherings of people were completely prohibited,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: on my region at least. But thankfully, the venue we
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: had acquired is run by the most lovely administrators. As
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: soon as the outbreak started, they contacted us and gave
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: us every assistance needed with rescheduling. Thus, we rescheduled our
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: wedding to 2021 in the same month, as the situation
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: is still uncertain. That can change, but shouldn't for the
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: time being. We aren't really bothered by it, as we
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: understand the situation is very dire, and we don't mind
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: waiting for a time which everyone will be safe.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Possibly.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Possibly.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Possibly. And actually, the whole family was wiped out. Yeah.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: This morning, while I was studying for some exams I'll
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: be having at school, my fiance got a call by
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: the venue administrator asking why did we want to cancel
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: our wedding. Obviously, that was very strange and confusing to us.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: My fiance let them know that we had no desire
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: to cancel our wedding and further asked about what that
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: was about. Apparently, my fiance's parents called the venue on
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: our behalf, telling them that we no longer wanted to
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: rent the place as we would no longer be getting married. Dang,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: that's crazy.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: You don't do that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: It's not even your wedding.
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: Kind of a life hack, though, if you ever want
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: to get a venue. No, just like a venue. You
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: call the venue place and you're like, hey, you know
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: the wedding that you're having this weekend? And they're like, oh, yeah, for...
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: This person, you're like, yeah, they want to cancel.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: She's no longer in love with him. We're going to
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: have to cancel that one. And then you call up
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: an hour later. Hey, I want to elope. Do you
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: have any venues available?
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Just like any last minute cancellation?
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Any last minute cancellations?
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: How is that a life hack?
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: It's a life hack if you're ever getting married and
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: you're last minute trying to elope.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Wait, also, because this whole story is like, oh, my
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: parents really want me to have kids. And then it's like,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: you have the worst parents in the world. That's one
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: of the most evil things I've ever heard. And it's like, no, duh,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: you guys don't want kids. Like, you come from Satan.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I would hope that you're not having more Satan children.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Now, let me explain why the venue was leaning on
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: accepting the situation. In my country, our IDs carry not
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: only our ID and social security equivalent number, But also
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: the name of the parents. And to rent a venue,
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: you need to provide your ID for them as a
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: bureaucracy requirement. I don't know if that's how it works everywhere,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: so I wanted to make it clear. So on your license,
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: it has your parents' names as well.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of information, yeah. Weird. And it also has
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: the name of the first boy you've ever kissed. Even
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: if you're a boy, you don't have to have kissed
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: a boy.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Uh, apparently they wanted to take advantage of that fact
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: and tried to dupe the venue to cancel our wedding. Luckily,
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: the administrator is quite smart and saw that on our
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: sheet needed for rental, there are only two names and
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: numbers for contact if we can't be reached. One is
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: my brother and the other is my fiance's best friend.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: At the time we booked the place, we were already
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: in a strained relationship with our parents, so neither of
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: us put them as contact. Thankfully, the administrator actually paid
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: attention to that and took the care and time to
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: reach out to us. Otherwise, we might not only lose
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: our special date, but also all our deposit and dream venue.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: I'll be honest in saying that I never expected that
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: kind of behavior from anyone in our families. But alas,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: it seems I was wrong. Anyhow, now my fiancé is
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: letting out fumes and I'm trying to calm her down.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: We already sent a contact to her parents and mine,
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: as we are sure they are in this together, for
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: them to never try to meddle in our lives again.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: My brother is as angry as we are, and he
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: just told me he was heading to their house to
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: tear them a new one. I don't even know how
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: to feel right now. I'm crestfallen, if anything. Define?
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Crestfallen is like, I'm real bummed.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I'm real bummed.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I'm so bummed.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not just bummed, I'm really bummed.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, what is this, Shakespearean?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: My family crest has fallen.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I am so down. It shames not just me, but
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: my entire lineage.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Please, please. I'm just crestfallen.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Crestfallen. The word is a late 16th century English compound
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: derived from the literal dropping of an animal's crest. First
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: of the fleshy, fleshy. It says crest refers to the fleshy,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: fleshy ridge on the top of the bird's head. Why
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: is it really?
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Why is it double fleshy? Fleshy.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Fleshy, fleshy, but.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Two fleshies.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: It must be really fleshy. It's not just the flesh.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: It's the fleshy, fleshy.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: I never expected or wanted things to be this way,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: but neither of us will go back on our decision
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: of not having children. Truth be told, I already have
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: the papers for sterilization ready. I just hope that one
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: day they do see that their entitlement just lost in
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: their son and daughter. All because of grandchildren that will
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: never exist.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: Cheers!
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Pip pip cheerio.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: I only got here halfway through, so... But I kind
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: of get the gist.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: It's crestfallen. It's crestfallen.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: That's all I got to say about that.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's like, well, now you've really lost us.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: But it feels like they have a very strained relationship anyways. Yeah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, when they're trying to cancel your wedding, maybe that's
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: when you're like, I'll just.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when they try to cancel your guys' wedding. Being like, oh, actually,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: they just called us and said they don't want it anymore.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: So can you just take that off the schedule?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: But it is kind of crazy to have the parents
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: so in cahoots. I feel like the in-laws rarely get along.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: So it is kind of a little bit beautiful.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they came together.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: They came together.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: They came together to take down their children.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Against all odds, they have a new family. And it's
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: their estranged children's parents.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Edit, we just spent the whole afternoon calling all our services,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: making sure to create methods so this never happens again.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: It's taken care of and thank you all for the advice.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: I don't really know what my brother told them as
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: he went from there to his work. I did get
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: a text from them complaining that we released our rabid
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: dog on them, which is amusing to be honest, as
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: my brother is a very calm person. We won't contact
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: them again. Once more, thank you all for the kind words.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, I thought they were actually accusing you.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that they actually released a rabid dog.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: So they're saying the rabid dog is the brother?
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Is the brother.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Literally a match. Imagine if he actually was like.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, mom and dad, I just have something to say
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: to you. And he like bites them.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Edit two. We did decide on passwords with all our
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: contracts and shouldn't have any further problems. But on that note,
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: for those who asked, our parents didn't give us a
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: dime to pay for our wedding. We worked ourselves and
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: paid for every little thing. They have absolutely no right
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: over it. I did mention this on the previous post.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: We don't want their money. Neither do we need it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: We're just sharing and venting our frustration. Anyhow, thank you
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: all for the lovely replies and awards. Cheers!
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I feel pretty happy for them. I feel like their
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: parents are probably bringing them down their whole life. And
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I know it's kind of sad that it takes a big,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: a big thing like this to get them out of
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: their lives. But I think they're probably pretty young, probably
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: like 30. And now they're going to get to live
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: the rest of their life without these horrible people and
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: kind of stealing their peace.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: And now they can have their wedding and it's going
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: to be super peaceful and they'll have their rabid brother.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Their rabid brother.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Their rabid brother.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Does anyone have the rings?
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: He's already eaten them.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Well, good for them.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: And that's the end of this story. We're going to
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: go to the next one.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: My sister promised my concert tickets to a stranger, so
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I sold them all.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Well, that's not really cool. I.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: 24 female, bought tickets to see Band of Awesome. Not
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: a real band. Because my sister, Carol with a K,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: not a real name, 26 female, absolutely loves them. I
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: saved up money so we could go and told her
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: about it. We both picked a date that works for us.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I have the tickets in my possession. I never told
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Carol they were a present for her. I said I
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: had tickets and would like her to come. If she
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: could not, then Joe would be coming with me. Joe,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: 25 male, is my boyfriend of five years. Recently, I
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: got a message from Carol's friend, Missy, 24 female. I
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: don't like Missy very much. She lives really far away.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: As a kid?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Why is this the reason? That is such a funny reason. Like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I don't like her. She lives far away. And she
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: has a kid.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Ew.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Gross.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Ew.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: She has a kid and doesn't want to spend money.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: She will demand you buy her adult soda and then
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: never offer to get the next round. She tried to
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: make my friend's birthday about her. So I have told
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Carol I do not want Missy coming to events where
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I will be. I just don't like greedy people who
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: make drama about dumb things. By the way, this comes
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: from greedy friends. And if you want to submit your
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: own stories, go to r slash OK story time subreddit.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I'm Claire.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: I'm Savannah. I almost said Sophia.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: I'm Sophia.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: And we are here to give good advice goofily. but
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: we don't have all the answers. We only know what
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: we'd do. So let us know what you would do
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: in the comments. As OP says, I told her where
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: the information was listed for the show, but said it
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: was likely sold out in our area. Missy then asked
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: if I was taking back the invite and that I
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: needed to give her the information for the plan. I
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: told her I had no idea what she was talking about.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I was going with Carol. I was so confused. I
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: asked what she was talking about. Pretty much the gist was,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Missy is obsessed with the Band of Awesome and has
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: always wanted to go see them. She has a kid,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: so cannot afford to go. So my sister, being the
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: kind soul she is, offered her her own ticket to
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Missy without asking me. I called Carol and told her
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: what was going on, and she said yes. She gave
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: her ticket to Missy. Okay, that clears it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Up a lot.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, that's weird.
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: That's weird. You can't just give your present away.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Well, but she doesn't know it's a present. She thought
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: she was just buying a ticket and giving her friend
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the ticket. So she's just actually being a really, really
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: good friend.
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: If she thought she was going to pay for it,
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: then that's different. But if she knew the whole time
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: OP was paying for it, then that's super weird.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Like, I don't want to go, thank you so much
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: for the gift, but I'm going to give it to
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: someone else.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: According to her, I cannot take back the ticket because
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: it would be cruel. Missy would also need a ride,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: someone to pay for her food, and all this other stuff.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: What cost about $ 250 originally with Missy would push $ 400
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: because she lives so far away, the concert is in
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: another state, and all this other stuff. I don't know
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: how to let my sister know this is not okay.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I don't intend to take Missy with me, and how
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I am really hurt she turned this into a way
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: to make her friend feel special while making me feel
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: like crap.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: How do I do this? OK, well, I just think
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: you didn't like you should have just said, hey, by
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: the way, this is a birthday present for you. So
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: you actually can't give your ticket away because this is
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: for you and we're going. That's that. And if you
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: don't like me, then whatever.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Then I'll go with Joe.
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: I would just tell her that she has to buy
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: another ticket. I'd be like, hey, if you want Missy
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: to come, sure. But you just have to buy her
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: ticket and also pay for her to come.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because if we're willing to splash out the money
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: on Missy anyways, then it's like, hey, I actually bought
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: this ticket for you as a birthday present. I wasn't
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: going to make you pay for it, but I don't
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: want to pay for Missy to go to this. Because
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: I think it is totally valid to go, I'm not
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: spending $ 400 on your random friend to go to this concert.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: You're a good sister for spending $ 250 on just your sister.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: That's a nice present. Unless you're super rich, then you're cheap.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: An okay present. There is a relevant comment from Asymmetrical Sally.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: How terribly rude and hurtful of your sister. A gift
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: like this isn't like a normal physical gift. Part of
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: the present is the shared experience. I would wait until
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I was calm, then call your sister, tell her that
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: her actions hurt and offended you and that you never
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: offered or agreed to take someone you barely know to
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: a concert, all expenses paid. If your sister doesn't want
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: to go to this concert with you, then that's fine.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: She's an adult and can make her own choices, but
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: deciding what to do with your money and time is
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: disrespectful and crazy. Tell her that it is not your
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: responsibility to clear things up with Missy. Your sister made
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: that mess.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: She can deal with it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: It's definitely not your responsibility to pay extra money for
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: a stranger to enjoy a good time. I would end
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: by saying how disappointed you are and would ask that
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: in the future, she needs to consult with you before
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: making offers on your behalf. And then I would never
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: buy her a concert ticket ever again. OP says, yeah,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: it hurts because we have always been concert buddies. It
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: just makes me think about the other rude things she's done,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: which were small and easily overlooked. It just shows me
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Carol is changing and makes me really sad she picks
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: people like Missy over her own sister's comfort. I'm really
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: close with my family and I just feel like this
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: is something a child would do.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: I think you should just talk to your sister. Yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I feel like she's saying, oh, my God, my sister's
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: being so rude. But your sister didn't know that they
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: were gifts. She didn't know that it was a.
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: Gift for her.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: She just assumed that you got these tickets. And then
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: she's like, oh, I want to bring my friends. I
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: literally think the same thing.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I'd be like, oh, wait, you got tickets.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Could you get another one for my friend? Like, then
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: we can all go. If I knew that it was
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: a gift, like a birthday gift. okay, then I wouldn't
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: have asked anyone else to come because then I'd be like, okay,
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: this is a birthday gift for just us two. I'm
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: not going to bring anyone else.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I get that she's not really thinking it through. Like
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: the sister is going like, well, my sister's going to
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: have to spend this night with this person that she
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: doesn't really know. But she's thinking, because she says she
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: never knew it was a present. So she's thinking she's
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: paying for the ticket. So I think it's a little
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: rude of OP to say, She's acting like a child
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: because what she has decided is do something really nice
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: for her friend. Her friend who has a kid probably
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't get to leave the house very much. And yeah,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: it's cheap because she has a kid and she's only 24.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: We don't know how old her kid is, but it's
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: like she's a pretty young mom then. So she's just
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: giving her friend a nice night out. So I think
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: she's actually being quite kind to her friend.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: I think just communicate with your sister.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Talk it through. Update 10 days later. I solved the
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: issue by returning the tickets and picking a more local show.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: There are no tickets to the show anymore. Argument over.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Carol contacted me and asked about the show. I told
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: her the plans had changed. I needed the money for
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: some bills, local show tickets and some beers, urgent bills.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I lied, but it seemed easier than just going off
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: on her about Missy. I didn't want to end my
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: sister ship with Carol since she is my sister and
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: not usually an idiot.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: That's just so mean. It's harsh.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: It's a harsh way to speak about your sister. She's
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: usually just my sister and not an idiot.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, sisters can be mean. I have two sisters.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: I can be mean to both of them. I also
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: have two sisters, and I will fuck them.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: She offered to buy the tickets from me, which would
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: have solved the issue a lot earlier, but whatever. I
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: told her they were already gone. Since you didn't want
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: to go, I didn't see the need to keep the tickets,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: so I sold them, paid some bills, and now I'm
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: seeing Band of Gothic Awesome with Joe. She apologized and
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: said she didn't mean to put me out. Missy had
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: been pressuring her to be a better auntie to her
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: child of evil. What the F? Carol had gotten carried
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: away and agreed to babysit the kid while Missy attended
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: the concert to bond.
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: See, and you could have gotten all this information if
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: you had talked to your sister. And then you both
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: could have gone to the concert.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: So she wanted to bond? She wanted... So Carol wanted
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Opie and Missy to bond? No, Missy was like.
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: Hey, can you watch my kid and bond with my
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: kid while I go to this concert?
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: Because you're not being a very good auntie, so you
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: should actually pay for me to go to this concert,
• 28:30
  Speaker 10: and then you can watch my kid, and that'll be
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: a really good moment for you guys.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: That's what I mean.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I feel like Carol seems like a nice friend. She's
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: probably easy to push around, seeing as, to me, it
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: feels as though her big sister pushes her around, and
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: it seems as though Missy pushes her around. So to me, Carol,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: if you're listening to this, stand up for yourself, girl.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: I am a little sister. It is hard to be
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: a little sister in this world, but you deserve better
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: people in your life who aren't forcing you to babysit
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: when you want to go to concerts and aren't making
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: you feel bad for trying to be kind to your friends.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Just talk, people. Just talk, communicate.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I told Carol I was hurt, I felt used, and
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: would be attending all future events and concerts with Joe
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: from now on. That in the future, I hoped she
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: would keep her word to me and not use me
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: in a drama game. I said it as nicely as
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I could, but I felt like crap, and you could
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: hear that in my voice. Joe said I sounded like
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: someone passed away. He was in the same room with
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: me for support. It did feel like someone passed away.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I now won't trust my sister as much. I told
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Carol I would talk to her at Christmas, but I
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: needed a break. It's three weeks of no contact, but
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: i feel like i need to deal with this i
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: feel betrayed hurt and used carol sounded like she was
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: crying said she understood and hung up i also sent
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: missy a text letting her know about the change of
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: plans just to get everything right in the world Missy,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: just to let you know, the concert tickets have been sold.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I am not going to be taking you anywhere. Carol
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: made that promise without asking me. I don't actually like
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: hanging out with you. So if Carol makes a promise
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: that involves me, it likely was just her trying to
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: be nice. Do not contact me again. Also, if I
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: host an event and you are not invited, there either.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Merry Christmas. What the heck? Which might have been witchy.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: But I am totally done with Missy. She is always rude,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: always nasty. I just don't need her thinking I would
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: go with what Carol promised. I blocked her number so
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: she is likely replied back like a snark shark. Love that.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Like a snark shark. But that is not my problem.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I hope her witching at Carol is enough to make
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Carol rethink the friendship. Okay, final comments. I have nothing
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: constructive to add. I just wanted to tell you how
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: much I love the term snark shot. Shark.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: See?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Everyone loves snark shark. Try saying it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Snark shark.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Kind of hard.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Snark shark.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Opie, my mom came up with it. She dislikes us cursing,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: so she has cute little animal titles she uses. Drama llama,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: snark shark, BS beaver. Opie, when told she could have
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: handled things gentler with her sister and sending Missy that
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: text will add drama. I don't care if Missy makes drama.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: She lives far enough away I won't see her. I
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: don't go to events for Carol's friend groups most of
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: the time because I have my own group. I understand
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: people wanted me to be nice, but I know my
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: sister and I know what works. This is how most
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: of our fights go. One of us lays it out,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: we have a break, and then we talk. In three weeks,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: we are going to likely have a shouting match and
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: then laugh it out. As for Missy, I never want
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: to see her again. I dislike slash hate her and
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: would be happier if she never darkened my doorstep again.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I find OP to be annoying, but I like her wordsmithing.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: I hate her.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: My sister is free to be friends with her, but
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I am not going to pretend she has some redeemable
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: qualities I like. I told her the truth. I told
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: her how I was, and now she knows. Who cares
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: if she thrives off of it?
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: I agree everyone sucks here.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I feel like there was just no communication, and then, OP,
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: your idea of solving it was just kind of lashing
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: out at everyone, being like, you guys didn't know the
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: things that I didn't communicate to you. How dare you?
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: And then now you just made everyone feel bad. Yeah.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know. That's what I think. That's what I think.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I just completely just misread all
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: of that or mislistened.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: That's how I see it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Okay, cool.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: That's how I see it too. Cool, I'm not alone?
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: All right. And I feel like OP is probably a
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: little bit toxic. Being like, well, we're just going to
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: scream at each other and then we'll just laugh about it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: Well, I think what cements to me that OP is
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: also one of the a-holes, like it's the everyone sucks
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: here angle here, is that instead of just taking her
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: boyfriend to the concert that she said she loved, she
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: sold the tickets.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Like, that's crazy to me.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, and finally, Opie shares how Missy ruined Opie's friend's
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: birthday party. Oh, right, because she did say that Missy
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: had done some bad stuff before. Let's find out. It's dumb.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Be prepared for a level of stupid that comes only
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: from brain-passed-away space slugs. My friend had a big party.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Carol brought Missy.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: No problem.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: The more, the merrier.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Only Missy brought her baby to the party, where people
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: were getting wasted. Missy then proceeds to complain the music
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: is too loud, that people are getting too wild, and
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: that she needs someone to watch the baby because she
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: deserves to have a night to relax. She accumulated the
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: night by changing the baby in my friend's bedroom and
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: leaving the diaper in her trash can. Talking about the
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: baby to everyone and getting upset no one wanted to
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: watch the kid while she got wasted. Started crying during
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: happy birthday because she was too wasted to focus, threw
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: up on her porch, and we... did coin the term
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: doing a Missy from that. And she is also known
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: as messy to everyone from that party. However, my friend
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: is still hurt by the whole event and hates Missy
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: more than I do. Bilton, how the F did she
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: get home with the baby? And why the F did
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: she think it was okay to get wasted around the
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: baby when she was responsible for it? I hate Missy.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: OP says, my sister drove her home and my sister
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: ended up taking the baby so Missy could have a
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: night without a baby. And that's the end of the update.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: What?
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Okay, so Missy is definitely... She lets people walk all
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: over her.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: So Missy is definitely the a-hole, but also... OP is
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: also an a-hole for not clearly communicating. And Carol's just
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: kind of stuck in the middle like, I don't know,
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: I'm just trying to do something nice for everyone.
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: She's a CPP. And she's a doorman, honestly. And she
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: needs to work on that.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Missy sounds like a bad influence. Missy sounds like get
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: away from her. I understand why the sister is so
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: now mad at... her being brought around. Carol get new friends.
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: And that's the end of this story. We're going to
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: go to the next one.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Smiley Riley here from OK Storytime.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: We're going to get back to these stories, but here's
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: three minutes worth of ads from our sponsors.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: My brother's fiance excluded me from her wedding party, so
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: I decided not to go at all.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: You can't fire me.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I quit. This is from r slash OK Storytime subreddit.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: This is directly from us.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Directly input into it. My brother, Corey, male 25, and
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: I grew up very close in a large family. We
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: had the normal sibling arguments growing up, but nothing major.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: When he started dating Melissa, female 25, everyone loved her.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: She seemed caring. He was happy. And we were excited
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: for them. About a year and a half into dating,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Corey proposed at a winery. Both families were there. Corey
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: asked some of us to hide nearby and take photos.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Melissa said yes, and we thought everything went great. Apparently not.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Melissa's mother, Tori, female 55, was upset because she wasn't
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: standing close enough during the proposal.
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: She's like, I wanted to be in a closer bush.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: I was all the way at the other end of
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: the winery.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: I couldn't see. I had to take out my little binoculars,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: and I could barely see my daughter's crying expression.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Through all those grapes.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: She claimed she wasn't wearing the right shoes to walk
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: down the hill and join everyone.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: Take them off.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: All right, Quentin Tarantino.
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: Take out those dogs. Let me see those toes.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Afterwards, Melissa, Corey, and her parents disappeared for almost two hours.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: We genuinely thought the engagement might have fallen apart. It
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: turned out they were discussing how the proposal wasn't perfect
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: because Tori wasn't included enough. This was the first sign
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: things were changing. By the way, This story comes from NewAssumptions2102.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: And if you want to submit your own stories, go
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: to r slash OKStoryTime subreddit. I'm Claire.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: I'm Sophia.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I'm Keon.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: And we're here to give good advice goofily. But we
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: don't have all the answers. We only know what we do.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: So let us know what you would do in the comments.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: And as OP says, months later... There was an engagement
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: party that was supposedly a surprise for both of them.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: But Melissa had actually planned it herself, and only Corey
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: was surprised.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: She's like, whoa, that's so crazy.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: What?
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: I didn't know you guys were.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: Going to be here.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: Corey's in the house, yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Whoa.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: She's like, I can't believe this looks exactly like how
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I wanted it to be.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: That's so shocking.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: She's putting away her little Pinterest board.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I guess it, okay, because I feel like she's like,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: The proposal wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: so now the engagement party must. It has to be.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: It has to be. None of Corey's friends were invited.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: When my family questions why, we were accused of being
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: money-centered because more guests would mean spending more money. This
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: confused us because my family supplied most of the food,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: bought the cake, and even offered to pay for the
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: adult soda tab. The engagement party was at their favorite brewery.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Lots of drinking with this couple.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: They love drinking. Winery, brewery.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: And don't mix those two. Never mix your alcohol. Or
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: else throwing a fit won't be the only thing you'll
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: be throwing. Things continued getting worse. My nephew, male six,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: asked Corey if he could be at the wedding. Corey
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: said yes. Later, the couple announced a no kids wedding.
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: That's targeted.
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: How dare you lie to a child?
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: That's so messed up. Imagine being that kid. You're like, yeah,
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Uncle Corey said I could go to a wedding. And
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: then like two weeks later, because of you, there's no
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: kids at all allowed.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: That was your fault.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: It's all your fault. I don't know.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: What do you guys think about no kids weddings?
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: I was always, growing up, I went to a lot
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: of weddings because I had a big family.
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: And I feel like it's fine to have kids at weddings.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's fine.
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: I say if it's your wedding, your rules. If you
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: really don't want kids and everyone's accommodated for, great. But
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: if kids are there, I think it's also fun. I
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: love dancing with the kids.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: I love dancing. I think, to me, it's a little
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: bit of a sign of where we are with kids
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: as a society, that it's like, if kids are there,
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: we couldn't possibly have fun.
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: No, exactly.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: We can't party with kids around.
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: I like to be at the kids' table. Like, so,
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: what's up, guys? What's going on in your lives? And
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: they go, like, bluey. And I go, that's insane.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Amazing.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: I love talking to my little cousins. They're so funny.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Because of that, my sister, Chrissy, female 36, couldn't attend.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: When we expressed disappointment, Melissa basically said she knew some
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: family members wouldn't come if children weren't allowed.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: That's a lie. That can't be true. I don't believe
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: that anyone came up to the bride and said, if
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: anyone's allowed to bring a child, I hate children, I
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: will not be there.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Wait, is that what she said? I thought she was saying,
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: She knows people wouldn't come. If it's like, yeah, we're
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: not having a child. Oh, I thought you said if
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: children were allowed.
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's like, all right, if we have no children,
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: people are no longer, like.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: I misheard that. I thought you said that if children
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: were allowed.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: And I was like, if children are allowed, I will
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: not be coming. That's what I was like.
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: I'm out.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: Sorry, the other, yes, that makes sense.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: There were also repeated conflicts with my siblings. My sister-in-law, Rose,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: female 33, said, was asked to be a bridesmaid but
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: explained she could only participate on the wedding day due
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: to living in another state. Two to four hour drive.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Work and family obligations. A huge argument followed through text messages. Eventually,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Melissa decided she didn't want her in the wedding party
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: at all. Corey then started sending long messages accusing various
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: family members of intentionally ignoring them, treating them poorly, and
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: making Melissa feel unwelcome. I feel like Melissa has already
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: made The family feeling.
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, she's unwelcoming everyone from the party.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: She's like, get out.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, who do you want at your wedding?
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: No one.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Not your family.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like simple elimination, yeah.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Many of us felt these messages sounded more like Melissa's
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: words than Corey's.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: Hey, it's Corey here.
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: I just don't think it's very cool that you're not
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: listening to my wedding desires.
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: This is me, Corey.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: Corey here. I hate to pop off, sis, but... I
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: really don't like the way that you guys are making me.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: Corey.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Me, Corey.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Missy.
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: Feel.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Feel bad. Anyways, I have my period.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: I have my man period.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Man period. Are you trying to think of anything a
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: woman would do?
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: I couldn't think of anything.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: What do women do?
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: What do women say?
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, gosh.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: I can't. I have no idea how women talk.
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: What do women do these days?
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: I have no clue. Meanwhile, Corey and Melissa were living
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: rent-free in my parents' home. My mom, Marie... female 59,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: would make separate vegan meals for Melissa. Oh, she's vegan?
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: All right, pack it up, don't marry her. She's even worse. Me,
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: an environmentalist. Oh, she's vegan?
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: Me, I don't eat meat.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Oh my God.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Making separate vegan meals for Melissa while cooking for everyone else.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: They didn't contribute financially and rarely helped around the house.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Despite that, they frequently accused my family members of not
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: supporting them. I personally agreed to be a bridesmaid. However,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: I've been repeatedly excluded from wedding planning. I still haven't
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: been told where to get my dress. We're currently two
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: months out from the wedding and the dress takes six
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: weeks to get here. Wasn't informed about the bridal party
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: events and was left out of conversations that included the
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: other bridesmaids.
• 42:53
  Speaker 10: This is on purpose.
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think this is all on purpose.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: I'm getting the impression that maybe you're not a bridesmaid.
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: I think you're not invited to the wedding.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: My mom and I even planned a bridal shower for Melissa,
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: only for her to cancel it and have someone else
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: host one instead.
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: I think you'll not like.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Ooh, that's pretty tough.
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: That's a tough one.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: The final straw happened when I graduated college as the
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: first person in my family to earn a degree. Congratulations. Congratulations,
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: that's awesome. I saved Melissa a ticket. She never showed up,
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: never told me she wasn't coming. Corey attended, but left
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: immediately afterward and skipped the family brunch on Mother's Day.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Later that day, Melissa texted me congratulations. I politely asked
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: why she hadn't come or told me she couldn't attend.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Instead of apologizing, she accused me of disliking her, attacked
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: my character, and called me selfish. Since then, Melissa has
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: left our family group chats, unfollowed everyone on social media,
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: and my mother was even told she wasn't welcome at
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: one of Corey's baseball games because their presence made the
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: couple uncomfortable. What? They're living at her house rent-free and
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: she's saying you can't come to your baby boy's baseball games?
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: That actually, I forgot that they were living with the parents.
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: That's wild.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Make it make sense.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: Well, you should tell Melissa and Corey that their presence...
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: Makes you uncomfortable in your house, and they have to leave.
• 44:21
  Speaker 8: You're no longer in the house.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Corey out of the house.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: Corey out of the house right now. I think your
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: parents should punt these scallywags out of the house.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: Get them out.
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: I don't want them here. They're poopy heads.
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: Take them to the galley.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, but guys, there is another relevant update. Oh, boy.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: You ready for it? At this point, Corey barely speaks
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: to me. Every attempt to clear the air ends with
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: him defending Melissa and repeating... complaints about how our family
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: treats them after months of conflict accusations exclusion and being
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: told we're unwanted i've decided not to attend the wedding
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: for my own peace of mind my family is splitting
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: up which is sad that he wants nothing to do
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: with us some think we should attend anyway because it's
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: my brother's wedding but it's clear neither of them truly
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: want us there so and i if i refuse to go.
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: No i feel like they've made it pretty clear that
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: you are unwanted I think you could have maybe one
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: more conversation with Corey. Try and get through him. Say
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: you're really hurt.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you should go to this wedding
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: either way because I think this wedding should not be
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: taking place.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you should go and object.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I object!
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: I object to this wedding.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: And everyone's like, wait, she's in love with her brother.
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: She's in love with her brother.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: This family is crazy.
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: And that's the end of this story. We're going to
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: go to the next one.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: My in-laws tried to steal our wedding plans, so I
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: changed everything.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Whoa, big change is a-brewin'.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: My wife, 61 female, and I, 63 male, are totally
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: non-contact with her three sisters, all in their mid to
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: late 60s. They took almost $ 25, 000 and refused.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: To pay it back.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: One of them trashed our condo after we let her
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: stay there while she was getting back on her feet.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: They lie and they cheat. They steal. Over the years,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: they've said hateful things to my children.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: We are dreading the next time we see them, which
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: will likely be when one of my parents-in-law passes away.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Which brings us to the story. Our daughter, 33, female,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: is getting married this summer. She desperately wants her grandparents
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: to be there. She is named after grandma and is
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: very close to grandpa. Sadly, they are both in their
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: mid-90s and in ailing health in Florida, and the wedding
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: is in the New York City area, which is everyone's hometown.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: There is just no way they could drive or fly commercially.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: And they, my wife and.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Daughter, were heartbroken.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: My brother-in-law, brother of all involved, did very well in construction,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: and I run a successful business, so working together with
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: a friend in aviation.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: We found someone willing to.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Fly them to Teterboro and they would be left for
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: two weeks so they can spend what may be their
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: final trip to where they grew up and then fly
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: them back to Florida the day after the wedding. To
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: say everyone involved was joyful would be an understatement. And
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: by the way, this comes from Haunting Plantain 870.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: And if you.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Want to submit your own stories, go to the r
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: slash ok story time subreddit.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: And submit them. I'm Dakota.
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: I'm Savannah.
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: I'm Sophia.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: And we're going to read this story. We're going to
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: have thoughts. And we'll say them. And then you can
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: have thoughts of yours. And you can say them in
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: the comments.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: And OP says.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: And then the sisters got involved.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: Ah!
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Unbeknownst to us, one of our nephews is also planning
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: to get married this summer. Daughter's wedding was scheduled for
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: July 18th, and her grandparents were scheduled to fly up
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: right after the 4th.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what?
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: After learning about our plans, these lovely ladies scheduled nephew's
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: wedding for July 11th, the Saturday before our daughter's specifically
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: so they could take advantage of the grandparents being here.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie. Given the context of that situation,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of okay.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: How so?
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Because it's like grandparents are like knock, knock, knocking on
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: heaven's door. And it's like, okay, he's getting married. She's
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: getting married.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: They're going to New York. Why don't we just allow
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: them to see everyone get married?
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: They do suck. The sisters, they suck.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: However, I do feel like if they're like in 95
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: making this long trek up to New York, Maybe that
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: makes sense in a way.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: But you got to make sure they don't get burnt out.
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: Grandparents.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because, I mean, just one wedding and being in
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: New York for two weeks has got to be a lot.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Two weddings and being in New York for two weeks.
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: Oy, oy, oy.
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: Wedding a week? That's cray-cray. Cray.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: You just don't expect too much of them.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: But anyways, so I was pissed off, but I'm not
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: in charge of my in-laws, and they'll be here anyway,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: so F it.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Until last week. My daughter got a call from the venue, and.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Due to infrastructure repair issues, they need to close for
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: a week in June, which throws off their booking schedule.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: Whoa.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: They offered her a great deal if she would move
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: the date. Yes, it's late, but my But not the invitations.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: And since the venue is handling catering, decor, and everything
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: but the band, they agreed to move it to an
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: open date in August, which makes no difference to me.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: I called my brother-in-law and his buddy with the plane
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: and moved everything accordingly.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: That's when the sisters went insane.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Mm.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: After years of no communication, they called, texted, and you
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: name it, screaming that we're ruining their wedding and that
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: we're punishing my nephew for something he has nothing to
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: do with, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and demanded that
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: we honor the first flight and pay for the grandparents
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: to attend both weddings.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: I'd just do it.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: What's the issue?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, you know what? You guys got us.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: We caused our own venue to close down by sabotaging
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: the infrastructure of New York. And moved our wedding back
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: just to spite your nephew.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: No, that's actually not what happened.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: We literally laughed out loud. Told them to go F
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: themselves and re-blocked them on every platform. They then sent
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: their proxies after us.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Cousins, aunts, uncles.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Saying we're making things worse by prioritizing money over reconciling
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: with the sisters. I told them to F off too. Honestly, yeah, great.
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: It's already solved. Problem gone.
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't really see what else you could possibly do.
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: you got you got money off your wedding that's all
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: you can really ask for besides having to like actually
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: change everything and redo all this stuff but i don't
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: know money off the wedding 12k off.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: The wedding hey.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Hey money off the wedding 12k off the wedding hey
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: oh hey somebody give me 12k off this wedding.
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: Here no the money is going somewhere else there.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Let's finish let's finish this Still, I wonder if I'm
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: the a-hole. We don't want grandma and grandpa to miss
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: anything in the autumn of their lives. But it's not
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: my fault their sneaky plan blew up in their faces.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: So I ask you, am I the a-hole for not
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: paying for two flights? And for those asking, I know
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not the a-hole with respect to the sisters, but
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I feel bad for my parents-in-law who are... Switzerland in
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: all this and just wanted to see their grandchildren get married.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: I think the most important, honestly, like ask them what
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: they want to do. Do they want to fly up
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: in July and then fly back down and then fly
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: back up a month later in August?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: That seems like it would be a whole lot for
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: them to handle.
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: I would definitely have a conversation with them and be like, hey,
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: I know that there's a lot of stuff happening here.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: A lot of things are changing. There's a lot of
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: moving parts. What is most comfortable for you guys? We
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: would love to have you, but we want to make
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: sure that you feel okay with doing all of this
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: traveling because I know it is a lot at your age.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: So just let us know what you think. We'll have
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: a conversation and boom, bing, bing, boom. Now you got
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: them in the bag.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Bring them over to Washington.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, sorry.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Bring him over to New York. Bring him on over
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: to General Washington and I'll throw him in the river.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: Hey, chop down that cherry tree, huh? But he never did.
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: Never did that.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: He did it with his teeth. Just gnawed like a beaver.
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: And that's the end of this story. We're going to
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: go to the next one.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's Dakota, your favorite goofball host here. And we're
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: going to get back to the stories, but here's three
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: minutes of ads from our sponsors. My sister has ignored
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: my son, and now she wants to take.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: Care of him. Well, that's just not how it works.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: I am a 19-year-old man with a three-month-old son. His
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: mother surrendered rights and is no longer in the picture.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: I work 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. at a gas station.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: And I raise my son. That's what I do these days.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Only one of my friends still speaks to me and
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: hangs out with me. I live at home with my
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: parents and sister, 21, and pay a small rent each month.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Dang, I can't afford to move out with the baby.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Dude, you have a three-month-old baby that made
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: you pay rent? Seems a little.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: That seems a little crazy. I can't afford to move
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: out with the baby. My parents help me when they can.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: My sister does not like my son.
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: No.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: She once told me she thinks he's an annoyance and
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: a hindrance. If he cries, she complains. If there's baby
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: clothes in the laundry, she complains. Basically, the baby exists
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: and that pisses her off.
• 53:43
  Speaker 8: Aw.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable red flag.
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: So the sister.
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: Wait, is that the sister or the mom?
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: It's the sister.
• 53:49
  Speaker 9: Dang.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not perfect, but I'm trying my best to be
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: a good dad. My sister has never offered to help
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: with the baby beyond holding him briefly, and she hasn't
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: done that more than about four or five times since
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: he was born. By the way, this comes from Yuzo.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Baby's mom is gone. And if you want to submit

• 54:12
  Speaker 1: And we're going to read this story and it's going
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: to be weird. And we're going to have our thoughts

  Speaker 1: because we can't be right about everything. Let us know
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: what you think in the comments, please.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: The other day, my friend called and offered me a
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: really great opportunity for some side work. He works construction
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: and they needed an extra guy for some installation work.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Four hours and I'll get 400 bucks.
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: Nice.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I jumped at it. Any extra money could only help.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I started trying to find a babysitter. My sister was
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: hanging out in the living room while I walked around
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: the house on the phone. I managed to find a
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: sitter who said she didn't want to be paid and
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: went to get the baby ready. My sister asked me
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: why I didn't ask her when she was sitting right there.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I told her I didn't think she'd want to since
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: she had never offered to help before. She told me
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: it was different. This was for work and not just.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Me wanting to sleep or whatever.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: And he was about to go down for his nap
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: and he's pretty easy when he first wakes up.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: She told me it wouldn't be a problem.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: I asked her why she didn't say something in between
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: my phone calls and she said she didn't think she
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: needed to because we're family and family asks each other
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: for help.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: But not when you're actively conspiring against my child. You
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: hate that he even exists. Why would I ask you
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: to go out of your way to do something for
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: this child that you do not even like in your space?
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Honestly, it's like, why didn't I ask you? Because I
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: think you're going to Moses my baby. You're just going
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: to put him in a basket and send him down
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: the river. I reminded her of all the times she
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: had complained about the baby and me and called him
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: names and told me she wished he'd never been born
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: and asked her why she thought I'd ever trust her
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: with my son.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: She started crying.
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: And told me it wasn't fair.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: And I needed to remember that the whole house is
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: dealing with a baby. She was just having a hard
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: time adjusting, but she'd never do anything to hurt him.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I told her she should have spoken to me about
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: her feelings instead of acting like a child.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Then I took my son and left.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: When I got home, Both of my parents set in
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: on me because my sister told them I had accused
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: her of bad intentions to the baby. Am I the
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: a-hole for being honest when my sister offered to babysit?
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
• 56:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no.
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: Like, I just don't understand. You don't even like this child,
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: and now you're just doing it for the money, so
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: I feel like you still wouldn't... Like, I babysit. I
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: was a professional nanny and I did it because I
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: liked the kids, because I like to do it. I
• 56:41
  Speaker 5: like to teach kids. I like to play with them,
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: you know, whatever. It's just like that gives me joy.
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: It's not because I like I didn't do it for
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: the money. I usually don't really do anything.
• 56:50
  Speaker 6: For the money.
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: I do it because I like to do it.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: I think just basically. Yeah, clearly she just wouldn't want
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: to do it anyway. And also, if you tell me
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: you wish my baby was never born, automatic don't get
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: any access to baby anymore.
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 57:06
  Speaker 9: What?
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Until you come to me and you.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Explain, yeah, no, that was like the most insane thing
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: I could have possibly said. And I guess I'm just
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: not adjusting very well. But I don't believe that. I
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: don't really wish your baby was never born, but instead
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: you just sat there while I found a babysitter.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: And then you went, Hey, stupid. Why didn't you ask me?
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It's just, she just wants something out of it.
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: And I feel like she, she wouldn't even go above
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: and beyond like, and not that she needs to, but
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: also you, you, you already have a bad taste in
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: your mouth. So why you don't like my child. You
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: just want money from it. And that's weird.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Anyway, We've got some comments. Grumpy Spud Gal. Who on
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: earth did you find who was willing to watch an
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: infant for free? The question we were all wondering. OP says,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: a church friend of my mom's. I texted my mom
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: and asked if she knew anyone at all who would
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: consider last minute babysitting. She sent me the phone numbers
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: of three women who knew me who go to church
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: with my mom. She's a really nice lady in her
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: 60s who doesn't have local grandchildren who told me it
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: would be nice to have a baby for a couple
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: of hours. I still offered to pay her, but she declined.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: God Hates Wolverine says, not the a-hole. She only offered
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: because she thinks she'll be paid as she heard brother
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: offered to pay even though she declined payment. OP says, see,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: I did remind my parents of every time she said
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: something negative and they said that was just.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Her being her. And I should know that she'd step up.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: When I needed her.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Apparently, I'm not supposed to judge people's intentions based on
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: their words. OP says, I quoted some stuff that I've
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: heard her say or that she's said to me. And
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: they had the audacity to tell me that things over
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: her didn't count because people are allowed to vent and
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: that people are natural caregivers. They just need the opportunity.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: So like, imagine you overhear someone conspiring to like, you know,
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: take you out, you know, To make you sleep with
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: the fishes. Parents go, ah, don't be scared.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: Doesn't count. You just overheard that. That could be anything.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: That could mean anything.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: What they said they were gonna make you wear cement
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: shoes and throw you in.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: The river did they tell you that or did you
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: hear that okay.
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: I don't trust them i do not trust them at
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: all this is very dumb.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: So then I brought child mistreatment statistics and asked where
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: their opportunities failed, and they told me.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: To go to my room.
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: Me, a 19-year-old man with.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: A child, got sent to my room.
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: That's my parents.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: Joke is on them, though.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Me and baby dude took a nap together, and then
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: we had a bath, and it was fantastic. Our holier-than-thou says,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: not the a-hole, trust her with your son is a
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: bit much.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: What's she going to do exactly?
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: But then she started crying and your parents took her side.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: So they all suck for that.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: OP says, I was just worried that if he got
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: fussy or wouldn't settle, she might yell at him or
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: just ignore him.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Something like that.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: She plays video games with a big pair of headphones
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: on and I just don't know if she would think
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: to leave them off or would do so if I
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: asked her to.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely not.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 8: Ugh.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: I've never seen her with a baby longer than five minutes,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: and we have no younger siblings or cousins. I don't
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: think she's ever held a baby before my son. Yo,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: is your sister paying rent as well?
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: I would hope so.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 5: I would think.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: The one-armed wolf. A downvoted comment says, Uh-oh. That's an
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: extremely fair point. It's not like she insults him either.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: She just complains about him in reference to the baby.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: OP says, not arguing, just clarifying. She has literally insulted
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: the baby before. She refers to my son as it.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: She calls him a little a-hole. She says he's ruining
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: everyone's lives and says that she wishes he was never born.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: What a great person to watch your child for four hours.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, literally. Like, that is just so stupid. The fact
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: that people are like, well, I don't know.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: She just calls them names.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 5: What's so bad about that? Um, I'm not leaving my
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: child with someone for four hours that they don't like.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: They don't like my child. What do you mean?
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Also, it's like, why is she so upset about the baby?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Is it because like there's less attention on her now?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: And now there's more emphasis on like you and your
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: child and you raising your child alone as a single dad.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: And she's like, I.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Hate this baby.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: He ruined my life.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: I was a gamer girl and everyone loved me because
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: I was the oldest.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: And now everyone cares about you and your dumb baby
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: that I hate. Get it away from me.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's crazy.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: There was no point including that in the original post
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: because it doesn't add or subtract from the story. And
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: every time I tried to write it out, it sounded
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: like I was just whining and adding stuff for sympathy.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: OP also says my son's mother.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: Lives in the same town and neighborhood as me and
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: my son i see her all over the place my
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: son even looks like her has the same eyes the
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: same hair same freckles it hurts because i still love
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: her but i don't like her anymore update apparently god
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: is on my side right now the lady i mentioned
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: in the post who babysat my son for me she
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: goes to my church with my mom And when I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: dropped my son off, I explained that I was having
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: trouble finding a sitter or paying for daycare.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: She called the pastor and explained the situation.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: And two days a week, my son can attend the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: church nursery school from 7 a.m.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: To 12 p.m. for free.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: And the lady has offered to take my son one
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: day a week during the same time.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: And has also found.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Another lady who will take him for one day a week,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: same time frame. The ladies both requested $ 50, which I'm
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: happy to pay. That means there's only one day a
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: week and three hours in the mornings that I need childcare.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: And my mom has agreed to watch him for the
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: three hours and drop him off. Wow.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: A hundred bucks a week for childcare. That's crazy.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: That's cheap.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: That's cheap.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I still have to figure out Fridays, but Monday through
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Thursday is covered.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: And now I can breathe again. And that is the
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: end of that story.
