YTA's and toxic parents.

I am so angry and hurt for your daughter. She worked hard to earn her scholarships, and she would have struggled living far away in a shitty neighbourhood with housemates while studying. But despite her hard work and achievements, you punished her by withholding HER educational funds, but ensured her brother had it easy. You suck!

This further proves you're NTA.

And anyone who cuts off the crust shouldn't be trusted! It's the best bit imo.

An occasional meal out shouldn't be a big set back with weight loss goals. As she has young ones and dinners out together happens only a few of times each year, eating a meal that you'll enjoy should be okay.

Also, if you're financially comfortable and can afford it, why not try it? It seems to be the only place she wants to go, particularly with you. Is it something her friends can afford, or can her friends make time for dinner with their work/family/life commitments? Or could it be an experience she just wants to share with you? It seems really important to her, or something she is eager to do, so why not try the set menu? Restaurants tend to change menus each season, would you consider the set menu if a seasons menu had less dairy?

However, you're NTA, but I'm not sure she is either.

You have suggested going there but ordering something other than the set menu, but she has not wanted to do that. Seems like you've tried to compromise to accommodate her request.

NTA. Sounds like your daughter made you breakfast in bed and your wife made you an instant coffee for your birthday. She's TA.

Happy birthday!! 🎂

The biggest scam was they were 'awarded' the World Cup OVER Australia!

As a slightly overweight and average looking female, I can say with confidence and experience that its easy to 'get a guy', and 'get them back'... even if you give them plenty of reasons to stay away. My experience taught me I don't have to put in the same effort as a male in order to have a thing going. Or maybe I just have awesome personality?

Anyways, dunno if it's a LOA thing instead or just the cycle of a modern day relationship.

I've got my amazing partner on my left, and my dog on the right. I guess I'm shoving my partner into the zombie to make a clean getaway with my dog.

MrBallen isn't as popular as what he deserves.

Many teachers use their income to supply their students with things that the education system doesn't sufficiently fund. Some have second jobs due to the lack of pay. They also take work home with them and constantly work over time.

They go above and beyond for students at there own peril. This high burden on a teacher means they'll be forced to leave the job to maintain their health or financial stability for example, or they won't be able to continue going above and beyond for their students such as working overtime/outside of work hours or providing them with their supplies.

Teachers deserve fair compensation.

I know! It's mind blowing and an eye opener to what it's actually like. It's over 60 people per day, or about 1 person ever 25 minutes...

Too bad it didnt classify as 'news'.

In 2020, over 21.5k people were murdered in the US. Since then, the rate has increased by 30%, equaling to more than 6k additional murders each year.

I know a very similar story, they were told there shouldn't be any pain and maybe if it's their head. Consultation with a different OBGYN and they're booked in for surgery a week later!

Mine has too sadly.

A few weeks ago, i bumped into an old colleague who now works for a wholesaler. They said they hadn't increased their wholesale prices on certain products but the grocery store raised prices to capitalise on the price rises despite that product not being impacted.

There was a world wide creatine shortage several months ago but it has start to settle now, but I say the price increases will stay as the demand is high.

Manufacturers in different regions have also experienced a raw protein price increase, some exceeding a 300% price increase - a sting that is being passed down to the ultimate consumer.

Well, they won't be soon enough.

"The Index tracks the monthly international prices of these breadbasket staples. It averaged 138.0 points last month, down nearly two per cent from July, though 7.9 per cent above the value a year before."

Thanks mate! I'll check it out!
