29. Marshmallows in the Bathtub and Should You Sit Naked on the Couch‪?‬ It's Really None of Our Business Podcast

Monica tells Amanda about how she finds her own habits annoying.  Monica decided to take a bath for the first time in years and took out one of the hundreds of bath bombs that she got from Greg.  The bathtub immediately filled with marshmallows.  Monica wondered what kind of bath bomb has marshmallows?  Turns out it was a hot chocolate bomb.  Monica sat in the bathtub laughing hysterically. There's nothing like coating yourself in sugar while in the bath.

Amanda is evaluating whether her no-filter attitude is causes issues for other people.  Monica feels that "screw those people that don't like you".   Amanda is trying to be a better person and wants to be more sensitive to how other people may perceive her.


 


WTF





AITA for asking my MIL to not be in my wedding pictures when she was wearing white and looked like a hot mess?


I got married the other day to the absolute love of my life. We aren't the type for a big wedding, so we had a lovely private ceremony in the living room. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are homeless and living with his parents. Since my parents couldn't make it we didn't really invite his parents, but it is their house.



MIL was doing some pole dance exercise thing and fell off the pole, and injured her back. She slept on the couch the other night because she couldn't get comfortable in her bed. We had the ceremony in the living room and just kind of hoped it wouldn't wake her up. MIL woke up right as we began and was like "what the fuck?" which embarrassed me in front of the preacher.


My cousin is a professional photographer and was taking pictures. MIL sat up, and obviously, she kind of looked like a mess, because she had been sleeping, and she was wearing white pajamas, and there was a little floral pattern, which looked almost bridal. I asked her to get out of the way of the camera because she wasn't going to look great in the pictures.


I don't know why that upset her, but she called us fucking stupid and left. I thought she was just being respectful and giving us privacy, but FIL came down and started yelling that how dare we use his house without his permission, and he didn't want those people in his house, and then he said I should not have asked MIL to move when it is her house.


My husband and I were blindsided. We just wanted our wedding to look good, and we get that it is their house, but we thought they could understand that it was our day.


 


AITA #2


So my much older sister recently lost her daughter who is around my age. She also does not like my husband. In reading her daughters tribute(obituary) it goes on to list the remaining family including her aunt's(me being one of them). Everyone is listed family member (spouse) family member's last name. Example: Julie (John) Smith. Except me. I have been married for over 10 YEARS to the same person and my husband was not only left out but she used my maiden name as well (i.e Julie Richards) I'm highly offended by this and feel like it's so disrespectful to not only me and my husband but also the children we share. My husband doesn't care if it's changed but feels I should say something to present a united front. I very much want it changed but am well aware that she will play victim and make it out like I'm so awful for wanting it changed. What would you do? Should I just let it go? ******Let me offer some background: My sister and I are not
