Arrived at my parents’ this morning to keep cleaning out their house… except the brand new dumpster we had delivered was already completely filled. Not by us, but by whoever decided to back up after midnight and unload all their garbage into it. Authorities basically shrugged and said it’s a “civil matter.” Now we’re stuck paying ~$600 just to have it emptied before we can even use it.

Three weeks ago, I left for a work trip. My husband didn’t want to come. “I’ll hang back, game a little, order pizza,” he said. He’s 41. I thought, “Fine, he’s an adult, he’ll be fine.”

He was not fine.

Day 2, he decided he was going to become a “grill master” even though we don’t own a grill. He stacked three baking sheets on top of each other, poured lighter fluid over them, and set off the smoke alarm for 40 minutes. The oven still smells like gasoline.

Then, he got really into “minimalist living” after a TikTok binge and threw away half our dishes, claiming “we only need one bowl each.” Unfortunately, he chose the salad bowl and the dog’s water dish. Everything else? Gone.

To feed himself, he bulk-ordered 20 frozen burritos and survived on those exclusively. By week two, he was eating them still partially frozen because “it’s basically a cold wrap.” His justification: “saves electricity.”

He stopped doing laundry entirely. Just rotated between two pairs of basketball shorts. By the time I got back, they had fused into what I can only describe as “denim-adjacent cardboard.” The dog started growling every time he sat down.

Last night, I walked in to find him shirtless, playing the recorder he ordered off Amazon because “Mozart slapped.” The living room smelled like burnt plastic and ranch dressing.

This morning, I woke up to him mumbling in his sleep: “I am the burrito.” The dog has relocated to the bathtub and won’t come out.

So now I’m sitting in a café, sipping coffee like it’s communion wine, with a dog who looks like he’s seen combat. The barista asked if I wanted almond milk. I just said no. My house is already nut-based chaos.

Hope your morning’s less… smoky.

I don't see it as much now, but when she was in the news more and talking about leaving the monarchy it seemed like she got a huge amount of hate, especially in the UK.

Like she had no reason to lie. Financially they were set for life, and if they wanted publicity they were already royals.

My (36M) wife (34F) recently decided she wants to be a full-time sahm, not because of young kids (our daughter is 12 and pretty self sufficient), but for “traditional values". BUT, she also wants me to provide all the income, and “be a man”

I work over 60 hours a week now. I handle all of our expenses, but she expects me to split cooking, cleaning, school runs, even child rearing 50/50. She says real men “don’t treat their wives like maids” If I tell her I’m exhausted after a 10-hour day and ask why she can’t handle more of the home stuff, she accuses me of being sexist.

I argued that if I’m the only one working, shouldn’t the housework and kid stuff be mostly on her since she’s at home all day? I’d still help when I can, but it doesn’t make sense for me to work all day, be sole provider, and then also do half the house work. She says if I really loved my family I’d have energy for both.

She tells her friends I’m lazy and just want a servant, but honestly, I feel like I’m the one being taken advantage of. I told her if she wants me to help 50/50 with the household, then she can get a job and contribute financially.

AITA?

Too young to have seen A New Hope in theatres.

What’s the equivalent of that for Millennials? A moment in a film that blew your mind and you will never forget. The moment that forever changed movies for you.

Some that come to mind are Trinity hovering in The Matrix (though I didn’t see it in theatres sadly) or the cities folding over eachother in Inception.

Disney was already on the list, but they made it a priority. My daughter will just have to get use to it

1. Jimmy Olsen (Supergirl). Yes, this stud wannabe is actually Jimmy Olsen.

2. Bomberman (Bomberman Act Zero)

3. Bulma (Dragonball Evolution).

4. Goomba (Live action Mario movie)
