A Redditor who worked in the company wrote, "Craftsman is far and away the brand of tools that get returned the most due to them malfunctioning or breaking. It’s crazy because my dad still has some Craftsman stuff from when it was a Sears brand, and they work great." Quora![]() Image credit: Dean Drobot via Canva.com As a Reddit poster simply stated, Quora turned into Yahoo! Answers. Another added, "It's barely even legible with all of the ads."

Picture this: you're on a bus with some heavy bags, and the bus isn't particularly crowded, would you consider settling your bags into an unoccupied seat? Now, let's say the bus suddenly becomes crowded, and people are left standing. Would you be willing to offer your seat then? Well, this one woman didn't, simply because nobody asked, believing her behavior was perfectly “normal” Affordable Rides![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock In a recent Reddit post, a 19-year-old woman living in the US shares that she rides the bus because she can't afford a car, insurance, gas, and other expenses. On one normal day, she found herself on a bus that wasn't particularly crowded; there were several vacant seats, and no one needed to stand. Too Heavy To Fit![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Right after her shopping trip, the woman found herself burdened with heavy bags that were difficult to carry and barely fit in front of her legs. As a result, she decided to take a seat and occupied the seat next to her with her bags, claiming two seats for herself. A Seat for the Bags![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos Since the bus wasn't crowded when she boarded, she didn't see any problem with taking up two seats, especially considering the bags were incredibly heavy and causing her discomfort. Space Shrinks![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos The bus ride extended for quite a while, and as time passed, more and more people boarded the bus. Eventually, it became crowded to the point where some people had no choice but to stand. People or Bags?![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos Although one might expect that the woman, burdened with heavy bags, would offer the extra seat she took for someone else to sit, she found no good reason to do so. “I didn't ever move my bag or offer the seat to someone,” admits the OP. After All, No One Asked for a Seat![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock The 19-year-old continued to provide reasons for not offering a seat to the standing passengers, stating, “In my experience, most people don't want to sit next to strangers anyway and a lot of the time people will end up standing instead of sitting in an empty seat next to someone they don't know. Also, no one said anything to me.” Confrontation![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock A person standing on the bus grew increasingly frustrated during the trip watching the woman seating her shopping bags instead of offering the seat to someone else. Upon reaching the bus station at the last stop, where almost everyone was getting off, one passenger “passive-aggressively told her: "You could have moved your bag and not been inconsiderate and rude. Everyone wants to sit not just you." “My Behavior Was Normal”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Following the unexpected confrontation, the woman was at a loss for words and didn't know how to respond. “The person who said that never asked me to move my stuff, and if they did I probably would have,” she claims. “So I don't understand how I was being rude?” “They could have asked during the ride instead of insulting me after it was already done. Busses are also generally first come first serve so I think my behavior was normal.” Online Backlash![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock The Reddit community was taken aback by the OP's disregard not only for "bus etiquette" but also for basic "human being etiquette," resulting in the majority of readers giving a "YTA" (You're The A..hole) judgment for taking two seats on the bus. “Seats are for your A.S!” a full-time bus rider stressed, while another person added, “If your bag didn't pay for fare, it doesn't get a seat. Move. Your. Sh.t.” “Entitled”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “YTA. You should’ve moved your bags,” agreed a different commenter. “Entitled folks like you make the world worse for the rest of us. Seats are for a.ses, not your groceries. They could’ve easily gone on the floor in front of you.” It's Common Courtesy![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Some took a middle stance and contended that if someone genuinely had heavy bags and needed to place them on a seat, they should still exhibit etiquette and move their belongings when the bus became crowded. One user expressed, “YTA. You don't wait for someone to "ASK" you to do the right thing.” Another “YTA” voter wrote, “Once the bus started getting more crowded to the point where people were standing, you should have moved your bags. You shouldn't need to be asked to do so; it's just common courtesy.” Lack of “Human Being Etiquette”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos “I don’t even look at it as ‘bus etiquette’. I look at it as ‘human being etiquette.’” one commenter argued. “ “No one should have to ask someone to move their stuff so they can sit down. You’re not the center of the universe - it’s not all about you. YTA 100%” “Rude”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos In response to the OP's argument that she doesn't believe she was being rude and her question, "AITA for taking up 2 seats on a bus?" one Redditor provided a direct and definitive response: “You saw the bus was full and didn't move your bags. That's exactly what rude a..holes do.” “Incredibly Selfish”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Many were astounded by the fact that the OP, being old enough to grasp basic courtesy, still failed to “understand that this is incredibly rude and selfish.” They continued. “You cannot use a seat for your stuff while people are standing. You should have cleared the seat without having to be asked.” Someone else speculated, “I have a feeling this post is the first time OP has ever been held accountable for anything in her life.” “Mean Behavior”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos On the contrary, some individuals were convinced that the 19-year-old was well aware of her actions, expressing their disapproval by questioning, “How are you still making excuses? Your post is already full of them, and yet you’re still repeating that nonsense in the comments.” “You KNEW you were breaking the social rules, otherwise you wouldn’t have felt the need to state a new ‘reason’ for your behavior every other sentence. Treat others like they are real people, and learn from your mistakes instead of doubling down on being an a..hole about it.” “Get Over Yourself”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos “YTA and you know it,” another person argued. “It's fine to have your stuff on the seat when the bus is empty, but you can use basic courtesy when people are standing without a seat available.” They continued, “You're even worse for your comment that if they asked you ‘probably would have’ moved your things. Probably? Get over yourself.” More From Womenio![]() Image credit: Dzmitry Held via Canva.com What you rarely see in fashion magazines is what women wear that men love.

Some are calling her “selfish” for not putting her husband's big moment first and even questioning her love for her husband. Proud Wife![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock A wife took to Reddit to share her husband's recent promotion news after working hard for the past two years to advance at his company. “I'm really, really proud of him,” she declares. “His parents are too”. Treating Family to Special Dinner![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Filled with happiness, the husband wanted to take his wife and family out for a special dinner to celebrate his achievement. Food Preferences Clash![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Although the husband is a big fan of prime rib and picked the only restaurant in his area that serves it, his wife isn't too keen on steak and usually prefers chicken or fish. Limited Options![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Before heading out, the wife checked the restaurant's menu and discovered that the options were limited. Unfortunately, the available fish and chicken entrees didn't appeal to her for “various reasons.” Wife Wants “A More Accommodating Menu”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock She suggested that they choose a different restaurant so everyone could find something to eat, but her husband refused, arguing that they rarely get to dine at this particular place. However, the wife pointed out that other restaurants in the area offer more variety and cater to everyone's tastes. A Solution to Limited Menu![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock In an effort to find a compromise, the husband suggested asking the restaurant if they could prepare the fish or chicken without any marinades or sauces. This solution didn’t appeal to the wife, as she “didn't want to be difficult for the kitchen staff.” What about A Dessert-First Dinner?![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock The husband came up with another solution, suggesting that his wife order dessert while everyone else ate their entrees. Once they finished, he would take her to the restaurant of her choice to have her dinner while he and the kids enjoyed their dessert. Compromise Isn't Enough![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Despite her husband's best efforts to find a solution, the wife ultimately decided not to go to the restaurant because she didn't want to sit there without food and not enjoy herself while everyone else ate. Celebrating Alone![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Although the wife refused to go to the restaurant, her husband still wanted to celebrate his achievement with his loved ones, so he went to the restaurant and returned with the kids over an hour later, all of them carrying to-go boxes. “Bad Spot with the Kids”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock The husband didn't want to lie or say anything negative about their mother, but he didn't know what to tell the kids when they asked why she didn't come with them to the restaurant. As a result, he ordered food to go and let the kids spend time with their grandparents in the parking lot. “Picky” Eater![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock When the wife told her husband that he should have stayed with her instead of going to the restaurant, he responded that she had put him in a tough position with the kids and that she should have put aside her “picky eating” for one night. Seeking Validation![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock The wife believes that if the husband wanted them all to dine together, he should have chosen a restaurant with a wider range of options to cater to everyone's tastes. Seeking validation for her stance, she turned to the online community for advice, only to be met with harsh criticism and little support. Online Backlash![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “He's the man of the evening, makes perfect sense he gets to eat his favourite thing,” one “YTA” voter stated. “Frankly, if you dislike your husband this much, so much that you can't even bear a single dinner of less-than-ideal choices for the sake of giving him a stress-free spotlight to celebrate under, well... I wonder why you're with him at all.” “You’re Just Picky”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Another commenter took a harsh stance and criticized the wife for being “picky” and making the situation all about her. They suggested that she should have simply eaten the steak on this rare occasion and not made a big deal out of it. “You don’t have a food allergy, you’re just picky and love making this all about you. What an AH,” they wrote. “YTA, OP.” “Selfish And A Poor Partner”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “Don’t lie. It wasn’t that there was nothing you could eat, there was nothing you WANTED. You also were too scared to ask the staff for a substitution. You basically told your family “My food preferences are more important than your feelings or supporting you.’” one Redditor expressed. “THEN you left your husband in the awkward spot of having to try and lie for you. Because if he told everyone the real reason you missed the dinner they would be calling you an a..hole like this entire thread is.” “You Deliberately Sabotaged Your Husband's Celebration Dinner”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Someone else called the wife out for “deliberately” sabotaging her husband's celebration dinner by using her food preferences as an “excuse.” They suggested that she should have just eaten the steak, which she admitted to being able to eat, or at least asked for the chicken or fish without sauces. Making Amends![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock The critical comments seemed to have an impact on the OP, who admitted that some were “harsh” but were a "kick in the pants". The wife continued, “I've apologized profusely to my husband and I am going to take him to that restaurant this weekend and buy him some camping gear he's been eying as a start to making it up to him and changing course.” More From Womenio![]() Image credit: Dzmitry Held via Canva.com What you rarely see in fashion magazines is what women wear that men love.

Cait (@caitmolden) recently posted a TikTok video that has since gone viral in response to another TikToker statement that reads “The boomers’ last gift to us is that all of their wealth is going to get burned up by end-of-life care” ![]() Cait and she grew up thinking that upon her grandparent’s death, who she says had "the cheese,” she would get the "cheese" and become "extra cheese" herself.Despite her initial assumptions, the reality may be that the entirety of her grandparents' wealth will be spent on their end-of-life care, leaving nothing left for inheritance as she previously expected. Cait’s grandparents, who are now in their 90s, were carefully selecting the retirement community they want to move to, dreaming about having features like a pool and meal delivery services to ensure their comfort. Although they initially considered a more luxurious option, her grandparents ultimately chose a "mid-tier" retirement community for the middle-class bracket, where they felt the need to prove their financial worth by disclosing their $1.5 million in assets and even signing them over to the community. “The retirement community was like, we don’t care how long you’re going to live, but we are going to take all of your money.” Cait says, “Because no matter how long you’re going to live for, it’s going to cost your entire net worth.” “They had over a million dollars in assets that they were willing to give away in order to be taken care of until they die,” she says about her grandparents, “And they didn’t qualify.”Cait's grandparents also shared a story with her about an 80-year-old friend with dementia who had a similar amount of money as they did but was unable to qualify for the retirement community due to the high cost of her care. In addition, Cait discovered that there are people who cannot afford to move into retirement communities, no matter how much money they have or no matter if they’re “sitting on that $400,000 house that they bought in the 70s for ten grand.” As a result, some people are left with no choice but to spend their entire net wealth to meet the criteria for government-funded end-of-life care. Also read: 30 Things Men Should Wear to Drive Women WILD - (According to Women) “Regardless of whether you have money or don’t have money, it’s all going to disappear,” Cait asserts. “Health care is going to take it, they’re going to say I don’t care how old you are, until you die, I’m taking every single cent you have.”
Cait's story provoked many responses from viewers regarding the financial burden of end-of-life care.“The sad part is most of these facilities provide deplorable care,” one person wrote, “As a nurse I’ve seen some horrendous cases of abuse and neglect get covered up.” “Those same wealthy grandparents usually are willing to pay a company a million but won’t pay a relative to care for them,” a second commenter suggested. “It's almost like it was DESIGNED this way,” a third commented. “And all the employees make barely minimum wage,” a fourth pointed out. “And knowing how much their employees are underpaid, it’s criminal.” a fifth added.

Yet, no matter how uncomfortable you feel, you're still expected to deal with it. Let's take a closer look at the top 24 triggers shared by people in a recent viral Reddit post. When helping becomes a one-man show![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock It's one of the most frustrating and perhaps offending experiences for people when they're asked for help, only to have the person expect them to complete the task in its entirety while they "f..ck off and do whatever" they want. Having to deal with rude behavior![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock It can be highly offensive when people are allowed to act "mean," "rude," or "unhinged," yet they expect someone else to take the "high road" and behave respectfully. The space invaders![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock When people in groups take up the entire sidewalk or block the elevator, it can be quite offensive to those who aren't part of their crew. As one commentator wisely noted, "Bro, let me out first..." “You used to be nice”![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock It's never fun when someone implies that you're not as nice as you once were. But according to one Redditor, a smart comeback is to say, “right?! thank goodness I changed”. The sins of one, the blame on many![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock It's easy to point fingers at an entire community when only one person is responsible for something negative. Unsurprisingly, this can be extremely offensive to those who are part of the group but have done nothing wrong. Confusing arrogance with confidence![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock While it's easy to confuse arrogance with confidence, recognizing the distinction between the two is critical to avoid offending anyone. Basically, true confidence comes from a place of humility and respect, while arrogance comes from a need to prove oneself or put others down. Not cleaning up after yourself![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock As one commenter put it, failing to clean up after yourself is downright "disgusting," as litter has a way of piling up no matter how much you try to keep things clean. Emotional discipline of a toddler![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “My disrespectful boss screaming bloody murder at me and others when he doesn't hear what he likes,” one person shared. “The man has the emotional discipline of a fu...ing toddler.” Disrespecting other people’s time![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Have you ever had someone waste your time or show up late to an important meeting or date? It's not only frustrating, but it can also be extremely offensive. As one commenter shared, "People who don't respect others' time.” Arguing with someone who tries to help![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock It can be frustrating to offer help only to be met with resistance or pushback. As one Redditor put it, it's not helpful when people ”f...ing argue” with them about something they’re trying to help them with. People speaking over you![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos It can be incredibly frustrating and even disrespectful when you're in the middle of a conversation, only to have someone cut you off and start speaking over you, leaving you there feeling unheard, dismissed, and possibly offended. People eating with their mouths open![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos While it's perfectly okay to be offended by people who eat with their mouths open, expecting someone to apologize for it may well leave you disappointed. The pushback of setting boundaries![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos A person who used to be a “people pleaser” shared their experience of receiving unfavorable responses after learning to say no and set boundaries, with some people calling them “selfish” and “self-centered.” Lack of etiquette on public transit![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “People trying to enter the train/tram/bus while others are still getting out of it,” one Redditor shared, advising, “Wait at the side of the doors and when everyone left get inside. It's that easy.” Expecting everyone to be workaholics just because you are![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos “My boss,” wrote one person. “He's a workaholic and expects everyone to just be the same, work at 130% all week 6h30 AM to 5+ PM, 30 mins dinner, and skips breaks.” “Grossly overpriced” Items![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “The price of groceries. I'm deeply offended by the price gouging going on,” shared one Redditor. “Its sickening seeing Galen Weston’s smug smiles all over the place while his own employees can't afford his prices. I've been buying in bulk, buying directly and avoiding those items that are grossly overpriced.” Not paying attention to someone when they talk but still expecting them to talk![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “The ‘why are you so quiet?’ question when it's them who can't listen when I try to speak,” commented one Reddit user. Assuming someone who enjoys doing something would happily do it for free![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “Assuming that just because I'm good at doing something or I say I enjoy doing something, I'm willing to do it for your benefit free of charge,” one commenter shared, clarifying, “I'm a trained chef, even if I'm currently not working as one... that doesn't mean that you can promise your friends that I'll be cooking dinner for your next reunion without consulting me first.” People using their religion as an excuse to be a windbag![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos Religion is meant to provide individuals with values that encourage them to behave in the best possible manner, but things can take a turn for the worse when people use their faith as an “excuse” to act like a smarty-pants. Emotional labor![]() Illustration. Image credit: Depositphotos “I cannot for the life of me understand why people have the consistent need to confide in me,” One commenter shared. “I listen, I reassure, diffuse, etc because I'm just not a jerk and everyone has bad days every now and again or needs a human being... but there are some people whose main hobby is misery and they always find me.” Missing the point of the gym![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock The gym is all about getting in a good workout and improving yourself, which is why it drives people “crazy” to see others filming or sitting on machines scrolling through their phones for half an hour. Choosing to be dumb and be proud of it![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock While it's not yet clear why someone would act dumb, it can be really frustrating for others to deal with individuals who not only choose to be dumb but even take pride in it. Society's expectations about the disabled![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock “People saying young disabled people have to use government assistance to springboard into a fabulous new life like a full-time high-level career,” shared one user. “The reality for some disabled people is they are not going to be able to do much. I've seen disabled people with better lives tell other disabled people they better not end up as losers.” Toxic positivity![]() Illustration. Image credit: Shutterstock Toxic positivity is a twisted form of positivity that was initially meant to inspire and motivate people to embrace a positive attitude towards life. However, some are now advocating for an unhealthy version of this notion that pressures constant positivity at all times, even in situations where it's not helpful.

A man's viral video has stirred up online debates about the matter, using salary figures to support his claim that politicians do not represent the people at all. ![]() In a now-viral video, TikToker Alex Pearlman shares why he thinks all politicians who sit in a room and don’t do “sh*t” should live like regular people and earn similar wages to truly represent them. “Every politician in our country should be paid their state minimum wage, not a penny more,” he starts the video by stating. “Every year they’re there they should get a 1.25% raise, let him get sit there and be told they did a really great job, and then go get 30 cents more.” Alex's suggestion is that politicians can only represent the people if they undergo the same living conditions. “You want to represent us?” “Live like us,” he says. According to him, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been complaining that the congressional salary isn't enough to live on. The thing is, it's actually $174,000 a year, and every member of Congress gets paid that much. He goes on to explain that during her first two years in Congress, she got kicked off all her committees and just spent her time traveling around the country, talking “sh*t” and trying to raise money, all while pulling down a $174,000 salary. Alex argues that as you sit down to do your taxes and examine your W-2 forms, you should ask yourself: did I make $174,000 last year? Because that's what every member of Congress earns. He strongly believes that politicians who get paid $174,000 annually, receive a per diem, and have their travel expenses covered, cannot truly represent Americans.“Open up your W-2 right now, did you make $174,000 a year? Then why we have people out here claiming they represent us when they don’t live like us?” Alex also asks viewers if they’re getting paid $174,000 per year or if their job also covers their travel expenses. He confidently states that he knows the answer is no. According to him, politicians not only do they get paid $174,000 a year for doing next to nothing, but they also receive the best healthcare in the country. Even some people like George Santos, who he claims scammed his way into Congress, simply wanted access to healthcare and a pension. Also read: 21 of the Biggest Lies in American History He strongly believes that politicians will prioritize raising their own salaries before even considering raising the federal minimum wage, which remains at only $7.25 an hour in places like Pennsylvania. Ending the video, Alex acknowledges that some people can find higher-paying jobs, but the existence of such a low minimum wage serves as a ceiling for all other wages.
Alex’s video has garnered thousands of comments from viewers, with many adding their own suggestions to make politicians better understand the struggles of the average American.“no. raise. they have to ask for it and be told that it's not in the budget. but they appreciate it,” one user wrote. “They also should get in trouble if they go over 40 hrs a week,” a second suggested. “1.25% is being generous tbh,” a third commented. “I got 5 chocolate covered pretzels for selling cards at my job,” a fourth shared.

via https://www.womenio.com/43238/you-want-to-represent-us-live-like-us One woman has decided to ask the internet whether she was in the wrong for telling her multilingual co-worker that forgetting words in English is disrespectful. On the AITA (Am I The A...hole) subreddit, the story starts off with the woman explaining that she has a co-worker, by the name of Sienna, who is currently getting her Master's in Translation and Interpretation. ![]() She adds that she is a part-time employee, and explains that she is “annoying”. According to OP, Sienna never stays late, never comes in early, and can never cover shifts because she’s currently in school and is swamped with assignments and lectures. ‘Basically, everything is more important than her job,” The OP writes, “I would fire her if I could (I am assistant manager) but my manager likes her.” The story continues that whenever they get tourist customers, Sienna switches to their language if she knows it. The OP doesn’t express an issue with this, but she does have a problem with Sienna “forgetting herself” and using foreign words or phrases in a conversation with the OP. “Apparently, she forgets words,” the OP said. The OP explains that they recently had a “bunch of international students” come in and that Sienna kept switching back and forth between languages. The problem the OP has is when Sienna started suddenly speaking to her in another language. The woman describes it as “really rude”. She explains that when she and her co-worker were alone, she told her that it was rude and unimpressive to switch between different languages. She adds that “it's not a flex to forget words” and that Sienna should start treating people with respect. According to the post, she also added that it was “sad” to forget words in her own language. Obviously, Sienna didn’t take too kindly to this feedback and according to the OP, she called her an “a...hole”. The OP explains that Sienna must have snitched on her because her manager now wants to have a meeting. She decided to ask the internet if she really was the “a...hole” because she “kind of needs to know before the meeting”. Many Redditors were completely on Sienna’s side, telling OP that what she said was petty and completely out of line. One commenter even claimed that she was jealous of Sienna’s ability to speak multiple languages. Others were upset that the OP called Sienna “annoying” for wanting to get an education while having a job. And another commenter decided to educate the OP on what it's like being multilingual. “YTA. Believe it or not, if you are multilingual you do forget words. And no, it's not a sign of disrespect if you do. Jealous much? Also she does the job she is paid for, isn't she? Everything else is up to her.” READ NEXT:

But it can also cause a lot of stress when dealing with costs, invitations, preparations, and of course, your spouse’s side of the family. ![]() One woman recently went to the Am I The A...hole (AITA) subreddit to ask the internet if she was wrong to call the cops on her mother-in-law after she stole a very precious heirloom she was meant to wear on her wedding day. The Earrings Are A Family Heirloom Passed Down From Generation To GenerationShe starts her post off by explaining that she and her husband have gotten married recently after having been engaged for a year. She further explained that when she got engaged, her mother gave her a pair of earrings and told her that every woman for generations has worn the pair on their wedding days. She described the earrings as being “4.00ct dangling earrings, and they are worth a lot”. Mentioning that she felt very honored to be given them and that she felt closer to her grandmother, who had died 2 months prior. Mother-In-Law Keeps Making Comments About The Soon-To-Be Bride’s EarringsShe continues the story by stating that 3 months after she received the earrings, she went dress shopping with her mother, sister, and mother-in-law. She bought all the jewelry that she would be wearing on her special day to see how they would match the selection of dresses she had. She explains that when she put the jewelry on, her mother-in-law kept going on about how gorgeous the earrings were. The OP’s (Original Poster) mother decided to explain the story behind them, including that they are a family heirloom. Fast forward to the day of the wedding, the OP recounts she had everything ready in her room. Her dress, flowers, shoes, makeup, and jewelry. She was also there with her mother-in-law. Also read: Long Pinky Nail Meaning & Why Do Guys Grow Their Pinky Nail Long Mother-In-Law Was Gone, and So Were The EarringsThe OP said she needed to go to the bathroom and when she came back out, she noticed that her mother-in-law was gone. At first, she assumed nothing of her departure until she noticed her earrings were missing. Something clicked in her, and she knew immediately who had taken them. The OP found her mother-in-law and confronted her about the stolen earrings, which she denied. The OP asked if she could look through her bag and her mother-in-law gripped it tight and told her ‘no’. After this, the OP called the cops, having them search her mother-in-law’s bag. They found the missing earrings, just like OP had suspected and the officers asked if she wanted to press charges. She explained that she wanted to talk to her soon-to-be husband first, and fortunately, he stated that he would support her no matter what she chose to do. So the woman left it undecided. However, after the wedding, she has been receiving threatening texts from her husband’s side of the family. Even her mother-in-law has been sending hateful texts, which makes the OP want to press charges now since bitterness is being thrown her way for simply wanting her family’s heirloom back. Many Redditors sided with the OP, with many stating that she wasn’t the a...hole in this situation and that the mother-in-law is way out of line. READ NEXT:via https://www.womenio.com/40408/mother-in-law-steals-daughter-in-laws-family-heirloom-gets-upset-when-she-calls-the-cops A woman posted on the AITA (Am I The A...Hole) subreddit recently to ask the internet whether or not she was wrong to ignore her mother-in-law’s comments about her stepson wearing eyeshadow. ![]() She Encourages Her Stepson To Express HimselfThe woman’s post starts off by explaining that her husband’s mother has been staying with her and her family while her house is currently being renovated. She and her husband have 2 other younger boys together, including her stepson, who she loves like her own. She is pregnant with their third, which she mentions is definitely her last one. The woman also adds that since she has been in her stepson’s life since he was little, her mother-in-law blames her for every little “perceived ‘mistake’ he has ever made”. She says, “Anytime he disagrees with her, freely speaks his mind, or just does something she doesn’t like, I’m the one who’s “blamed” for it.” The OP (Original Poster) does admit that she encourages her stepson to be his own person, stand up for himself, and express himself how he wants. So she understands she has a role to play in his behavior toward his grandmother. She mentions that she does this with the other boys, too, as all she wants is for them to be happy. The Morning Takes A Negative Turn After Mother-In-Law Has A Problem With The Stepson’s Green EyeshadowThe story begins with the woman mentioning that the morning the incident happened, her husband had already gone off to work, and the younger boys were at the table with their grandmother, eating. The OP was packing the boys’ lunches when her stepson came downstairs wearing an “oversized pink button down and flared jeans, and he had on some really pretty green eyeshadow”. According to the post, the mother-in-law immediately took issue with the way he was dressed, telling him that he was dressed like a girl and that he needed to take the makeup off. The mother-in-law turned to OP and asked her, “aren’t you going to tell him he looks ridiculous?” However, what the woman did instead was look at her stepson and tell him that he looked cute but that the “green eyeshadow didn’t match his outfit that well so next time he should try pink or neutrals”. Her stepson gave her a little smile before going to put his shoes on.

Their grandmother told her that she was being difficult and that since the woman’s stepson wasn’t “actually” her son, she had no place to allow him to do whatever he wanted. But the OP responded that if she really thought she wasn’t his mother, she should’ve never told her to discipline him for wearing eyeshadow in the first place. Unfortunately, when the OP’s husband called to ask what happened that morning with his mother, he agreed that the OP should have just given in to his mother’s wishes and told her stepson to take the eyeshadow off so as to not “irritate his mother further”.

Next time, tell MIL that he's definitely more your son than hers, and she can find another place to stay if she can't keep her mouth shut.” The most pressing issue for a lot of users was, however, whether or not pink and green go together. With many chiming in with their own fashion advice. The OP ended the post with an ETA (Edit To Add): “I agree guys, pink and green is a very lovely combination! However, he had on forest green eyeshadow and a light pink shirt, which was cute don’t get me wrong, but I just think pink eyeshadow would have been a little more cohesive.” She also mentioned in an update that her stepson was fine and even told her she was free to give him more fashion advice in the future.
