| Let's see. | |
| My mom has a huge pot-bellied pig as a pet. | |
| Okay, now here's a story I want to read. | |
| This is an actual important story. | |
| She rescued him from a farm. | |
| He's seven years old, I believe. | |
| Back when I was planning my wedding, my mom kept on trying to add things to my wedding, specifically for the pig. | |
| For example, she wanted him to have his own buffet. | |
| I turned all her ideas down and told her the pig will not be attending my wedding. | |
| This has got to be a fake story, but I like it anyway. | |
| Even after I told her I didn't want him at my wedding, she continued to try to get me to plan my wedding around him. | |
| She told me that she needs him to be there because it's her support animal. | |
| He isn't a registered support animal, even though he does bring her a big deal of comfort. | |
| In my husband's culture, pigs are seen as dirty animals, and it would absolutely be unfitting for me to have a pig at our wedding, especially because it would be disrespectful to his family. | |
| As opposed to all the other cultures where that would be totally normal, right? | |
| Well, my mom decides to bring her pet pig to my wedding anyway, even after I told her not to. | |
| And she showed up late. | |
| I could tell my husband was highly upset with it, but stopped me when I went to confront her because he didn't want his new mother-in-law to hate him. | |
| Was this thing written by a pig? | |
| Because I can't even hardly read it. | |
| My sister-in-law ended up getting scared because the pig rubbed up against her, which caused the pig to get scared and run off and bump into some expensive glass decorations, which ended up falling and breaking the pieces. | |
| This is not real. | |
| This didn't happen. | |
| Come on. | |
| I think I saw this episode of King of Queens. | |
| I was beyond angry at my mom. | |
| This would have never happened if she didn't bring her pig to my wedding, so I yelled at her to leave. | |
| This didn't happen at all. | |
| But I hope it did. | |
| Because, you know what, if it did happen, then you are the a-hole, not your mom. | |
| This would be amazing. | |
| Weddings are so boring. | |
| And I understand this is a contradiction for me. | |
| I'm a big proponent of the Holy Sacrament of matrimony. | |
| I think people should get married. | |
| I think it's wonderful. | |
| But it's really boring, too. | |
| And it is just excruciatingly boring. | |
| Weddings are. | |
| By trying to keep the pig out, this is like a source of entertainment. | |
| And this is a wedding that people will remember. | |
| That's the other thing. | |
| You want your wedding to be memorable, don't you? | |
| And most weddings are not memorable. | |
| They're forgotten. | |
| For you, you might talk about them later. | |
| Oh, our wedding was a magical day. | |
| No one else thought it was magical. | |
| Everyone else was bored out of their minds for most of it. | |
| This is memorable. | |
| This is incredible. | |
| I am fully on board with barn animals being included in wedding parties. | |
| Am I the a-hole for calling my brother a mama's boy and refusing to apologize for ruining his birthday? | |
| Okay, my brother and his wife live at my mom's house. | |
| Mom tends to get involved in their marriage constantly, and my brother lets her. | |
| Sister-in-law always complains about mom steamrolling her and her decisions and violating her privacy. | |
| When sister-in-law got pregnant, mom got worse. | |
| She went out and bought a whole nursery and put it in her room, despite sister-in-law having one in her room. | |
| The most recent conflict is about mom pushing to be in the delivery room, and sister-in-law saying no. | |
| My brother not only is siding with mom, but he's making promises to her to keep her happy. | |
| Last week, we were gathered at mom's house for my brother's birthday. | |
| His friends came and asked why sister-in-law wasn't at dinner table. | |
| My brother nonchalantly said that she was just being a princess, acting spoiled and immature over everything. | |
| I was shocked and hurt on her behalf, so I responded, actually, she's probably just upset now that she realizes that you're a grade-A mama's boy, ready to do whatever mom says while ignoring your wife's wishes. | |
| Brief silence while his friends stared. | |
| He started arguing about how disrespectful I was. | |
| He told my husband to say something, and my husband just said, don't mind me. | |
| I'm just a bystander. | |
| Oh, your husband. | |
| Real brave on your husband's part. | |
| What's up with the men in this family here? | |
| Dinner got awkward and my brother's friends left early. | |
| He went off on me saying I embarrassed him before his friends and ruined his birthday dinner. | |
| I decided to go home because he kept yelling. | |
| Mom then called demanding I apologize for the rude things I said at dinner table, but I refused. | |
| I think, first of all, you and your sister have similar problems. | |
| You both chose some winners here. | |
| You're getting screamed at and your husband just sitting there, don't mind me, I'm just a bystander. | |
| Coward. | |
| No, you're not the a-hole here. | |
| I mean, I think you did the right thing. | |
| The first problem here is that your brother is a grown man throwing a birthday party for himself, and you know how I feel about that. | |
| As a grown adult, and you're throwing a birthday party for yourself, and then crying because someone ruined it. | |
| You ruined my birthday! | |
| What are you, five years old? | |
| Apparently so. | |
| At least emotionally and mentally. | |
| To be expected from an adult man who still lives at home, demands his mommy take his side in arguments. | |
| And look, leaving all that aside, just a quick tip here. | |
| It should be pretty obvious, but there are many married couples who don't seem to understand this. | |
| In a marriage, you never complain about or insult your spouse publicly in front of others. | |
| Now, you shouldn't insult your spouse at all. | |
| It's not a good thing to do. | |
| But if you're going to have a heated disagreement, and if there's going to be rude things said back and forth, and it shouldn't happen, but it happens sometimes in a marriage, you never bring other people in on that. | |
| Okay? | |
| You never do that. | |
| It's never the right thing. | |
| And it's so, you have to, it blows my mind when I encounter people, and this is so common, like married couples, they don't understand, first of all, your loyalty should be to your spouse first and foremost. | |
| That's the relationship that should be the most meaningful to you in the entire world. | |
| That's the relationship that takes number one priority, is your relationship to your spouse. | |
| Even above your kids. | |
| Your relationship to your spouse is even more important than your relationship to your kids. | |
| That comes first. | |
| Because that's what your kids need. | |
| Your kids need the mom and dad to have a good relationship. | |
| So it's for their sake also that you work on that relationship first and that everything flows down from | |
| there For some background my husband and I have been married for | |
| a little over a year We recently bought a nice house. | |
| It has a pool and a hot tub, and one of the things I've enjoyed is unwinding after a long day. | |
| My family has always been very comfortable with nudity, so I find it really irritating and completely unnecessary to be told to restrict some perfectly harmless things, such as swimming and hot-tubbing nude, topless sunbathing, having to wear a bra whenever guests are over. | |
| Nude grilling, hot tubs, hippie houseboats. | |
| Now my husband's old mom, who is from a different world. | |
| My husband's old mom? | |
| Does he have a new mom? | |
| There's something different about you. | |
| She's a southern lady who's super prudish and very passive-aggressive, is staying with us for a month. | |
| My husband wants me to stop sunbathing, swimming, hot tubbing, topless, and dress up a little bit more when having breakfast and dinner. | |
| And by dress up, I think he means like just dress at all. | |
| He's not saying dress up, just dress. | |
| Put on anything, any kind of clothing at all. | |
| We have guests over. | |
| Please, honey. | |
| I flat out refused. | |
| I told her she's a guest in our house and I won't be rude or inappropriate. | |
| I'm not gonna be rude or inappropriate, but I will walk around nude. | |
| Am I the a**hole here? | |
| Um, are you the a**hole? | |
| Yes, you are. | |
| And you're also showing it off to everybody in the house, which is a good indication that you are one. | |
| That's a rule of thumb. | |
| If you're showing your ass to people, then you are one. | |
| Like, that's, I think we could kind of take that, put that on a bumper sticker. | |
| That's words to live by. | |
| A lot of entitled people, and it's a common theme. | |
| Now, maybe all these entitled people don't walk around naked in their house, and maybe they do, but there's this thing people do where they expect every accommodation to be made for them, but if they are ever expected to make any accommodation for anybody else, it's oppression. | |
| So that's the way she's living her life. | |
| Everyone has to accommodate to her, but even being asked to simply put on clothing when my mother is here, she can't do that. | |
| In conclusion, put some clothes on, you freak. | |
| That's my message to this person, and indeed to the whole world. |
