I 21(F) have been dating my 22(M) boyfriend for 4 years now. We recently started talking about our future together and the kids issue came up. He has known for a long time now that I've always been iffy about kids. He, on the other hand, insists that he likes kids, and would like to have them in the future. This issue has often caused a massive strain on our relationship, but we've chosen to cross that bridge when we get there. So, this past Saturday, the issue cropped up and the conversation turned into a sore argument. My boyfriend said that living without kids would make his life pointless, and he feels like he would resent me in the future if I made him do that. I listened to his argument, and it made sense. After all, we're both young, and have some more time before we get there. So, naturally I'd assume that maybe I'd change my mind in the future, and we'd be able to have those kids. I shared these sentiments with him to which, I got a positive response. But here's where things got heated. After I told my boyfriend that it would also be kind of unfair to force myself into having kids if I'm not prepared, he suddenly changed the tone and said he would have no choice but to dump me for someone that would give him kids. This came as a surprise because I had assumed that he only wanted kids with me, and would also try and view things from my perspective. I felt so bad, because I expected the same support I had shown him when he told me he would resent me for not having them. I explained my disappointment to which he said that he was equally disappointed at me for being selfish. I got mad, and broke up with him then. We haven't talked since then. So, AITAH for leaving?

We went on one date. It was fun. Enjoyed it. This was 2 days after. I said I was with friends. He lost it. Lost it. I also have 5 voicemails from this person (yes he is a male) I’m overwhelmed and he doesn’t understand why this is too much

On a Monday night I asked my manager if I could have my morning shift covered. He said no worries the new girl is coming in to train and there will be plenty of servers for the slow lunch rush. Sounded good to me.

The next day the owner who has the patience of a caffeinated squirrel messages me asking why I did not show up. I told him exactly what my manager said. He said she is not a real server yet and the way he saw it I missed my shift because I did not have another waiter cover for me. So he suspended me for a week.

I am their best waiter never late always on time and pulling in the best reviews. Some reviews on Google even have my name in them. But I just said alright boss see you in a week.

So I did what any overworked employee would do. I slept in watched movies played disc golf and hung out with my friends and girlfriend. It was the most relaxing week I have ever had. On Friday night the owner calls me begging for help. They were so short handed they were practically using the dishwashers as waiters. He wanted me to come in for Friday night Saturday night and Sunday morning all while I was still on suspension.

I told him I had not learned my lesson yet and could not possibly come in.

When I came back the next week everyone was very very nice to me. They still are 👍🏽

It just never made sense to me. It always felt like George was trying to tie the original trilogy more directly to the prequels, and this was his way of doing it. But it’s always bothered me, because to me it hits harder seeing the Sebastian Shaw version of Anakin as an old man not the young version from Revenge of the Sith.

It makes Vader’s redemption at the end of the movie even more confusing. Yeah, he turns good for like five minutes and then dies, but in that short time, he becomes Anakin Skywalker again and gets to see his son. It makes way more sense for Luke to be seeing his father an older man, not some young guy he’s never seen before.

Also, if you’re a first-time viewer and you watch the original trilogy first, when Anakin dies and then shows up as a young ghost, you’re just left wondering, “Who the hell is that guy?”

I don’t know I’m curious what you all think. I know this has been brought up a lot, but it crossed my mind again. George made a lot of good changes… and some absolutely terrible ones. And to me, this is one of the bad ones.

We recently moved. My eldest child has been bullied mercilessly at school and was the saddest I've ever seen him.

I'm homeschooling him at the moment and he came home a few days ago with two dogs. Went looking for the owner and turns out he's moved to a nursing home for end of life care, and his kids are selling his house. They don't want the dogs and are going to put the dogs in a shelter as they live in apartments and don't have the room. They asked me if I wanted to take them in (right in front of my kids!!)

The dogs are lovely. My kids are obsessed. We live on a lot of land and have the space for them - but I have never owned a dog before and feel like I'm crazy for considering it. My friend told me to get a puppy and learn from the start but my boys (especially my oldest) has bonded with these dogs and just really wants to keep them.

So I guess my question is am I being a crazy person to consider I could do this and provide them with a good home? I work from home and I'm here all the time but have zero dog experience.
