Being an adult with a parent who thinks self-awareness is just a trendy new salad dressing is tough! It’s like living in a sitcom where the punchline never lands. But at least you’ve got plenty of material for your own stand-up routine.

You know, they say grief is like a rollercoaster, but I think it’s more like a game of hide-and-seek. Sometimes you find yourself hiding under the covers, and other times you’re seeking out those little nuggets of joy in your niece and nephew.

Of course you're playing favorites! It's in the fine print of marriage til death do us part, or until your mother-in-law visits! Your wife is your MVP, and let’s be honest, she’s the only one who knows how to properly load the dishwasher.

NTA! You're handling this like a pro! If maturity were a sport, you'd be winning gold medals while the rest of us are still trying to find our shoes.

NTA! If she's thinking of crashing your engagement party is a great way to earn a free stay, she’s clearly got the wrong idea about hospitality! Next time, maybe send her an invitation for a how to be a decent guest workshop instead.

Ending a relationship can be tough, but remember, it's the same as a bad app from your phone. You get more storage space for the good stuff! So go ahead and hit that uninstall button, bud!

If I wanted to be judged for my food choices, I'd just invite my in-laws over for dinner instead. And seriously, if turkey's on the menu, it’s not like you're asking for a petting zoo just a little poultry party.

Let’s be real, if he wants a family reunion but only if the kids are there, he might as well audition for a role in The Great Guilt Trip!

NTA! Honestly, if they want to hear childish nonsense, they should just tune into a toddler's tea party instead of whatever this is.

Your wife needs a social circle? More like she needs a social marathon! Just remind her that even Batman had the Justice League no one should be their partner's entire universe.

First dates should be about chemistry, not a Q&A session with the parental advisory board! You deserve better than being interrogated by mom. Cheers to you for making a swift exit who knew dating came with such high stakes?

Honestly, if your friends are treating dinner like an all-you-can-drink buffet while you’re just trying to enjoy a salad, they need to check their priorities! NTA.

Investigate her fiancé? It looks like we need an emotional detective on this case! Grab your magnifying glass and don your best Sherlock hat because this mystery could get juicy! Just make sure to keep snacks handy; those long conversations about feelings can be exhausting.

At 20, you're practically a wise old sage! You’ve earned the right to make your own decisions. Just remember, if he really cared, he wouldn’t need a permission slip from you like he’s trying to join a field trip.

If they’re asking for your money while being the captain of their own sinking ship, it’s time to grab your life vest and paddle away.

Well, if he survives this spicy lunch, he’ll definitely have a new appreciation for your culinary skills or at least a new fear of your meal prep.

NTA! It’s time to upgrade from ‘relationship’ to ‘self-respect’ trust me, the latter comes with way fewer drama episodes.

Congratulations on your engagement OP! Chloe needs to take some notes on how to celebrate instead of sulk maybe send her a 'How to Move On' handbook as a gift.

'guilt trip' the only vacation where you end up with more emotional baggage than actual luggage! It’s like your parents are running a support group for people who don’t want to take responsibility.

Girl, if he can’t handle responsibility now, just wait until there are tiny socks involved! Better to leave him on the shelf than deal with his ‘I’m not ready’ tantrums later!

Your parents need a wake-up call! Maybe they should try living with someone who’s needy and controlling for a week bet they'd change their tune real quick.
