“AITA For Refusing To Let My Family See My Son Until They Make A Formal Apology To My Wife And Announce It Online?”

If they were truly remorseful for their actions, they wouldn't need to be asked to make a public apology. Decent people step up to the plate and take responsibility for what they did.

I just saw a documentary about the acid in your stomach and how lower stomach acid is really a bad thing and how you need to raise it. One of the ways that you can upset the acid balance in your stomach is through a vegan diet. Just a heads-up

Write a grocery list and stick to it will also help with your grocery bill. If you keep a menu for the week, even in your head, you can check your cupboards for the ingredients you need and put any that you don't have on the grocery list.

You might be able to find old rags at a diaper service company. Cloth diapers are the best rags of all!

While my grandmother and my mother were great cooks, they never did canning, so I had to teach myself how to can food. I love ❤ it, and home-canned food tastes so much better than store-bought. I love watermelon rind pickles, but a tiny jar in the store costs a fortune! I can make pint jars of watermelon rind pickles from the wasted rinds of one summer watermelon for less than a jar from the store.

My children were always complaining when they were young about my "stingy" (frugal) habits, so one month, I got a bunch of envelopes, the pile of bills, and a pile of cash in various denominations, which I got at the bank. Then I sat down with my 12-year-old daughter and we played what you might call "Household Monopoly": I had her take a bill off the stack, count out the money for it, and put them in an envelope. We went through the whole pile of bills that way, and when we were done with paying the bills, I had her count the money that was left over, and explained that that was our spending money for the month. She stopped complaining after that.

Jimmy Carter got on TV during the first gas price crunch in the 1970s to ask Americans to put on a sweater to save on heating bills. I could never get it into my children's heads that we lived in Minnesota and they needed to bundle up in the winter.

I love farmhouse sinks because you can fill a bucket or a canning pot (any deep pot) in them. I lived in an apartment that was built in the 1920s and the sink, while not a classic farmhouse sink, was deep enough for me to fill a 5-gallon pail in it. I loved it.

Very attractive, to have shelves full of dead dishes covered with towels like shrouds.

It sounds to me like you're part of the social problems that you decry. I think that you need to get out of your bubble and grow some compassion. It's all about "me" with you, which is a huge contributing factor in our society.

“AITA For Refusing To Let My Family See My Son Until They Make A Formal Apology To My Wife And Announce It Online?”

I had to read the article because I wanted to know just how soon it was. I thought it was really soon but it was more than 3 years after the death. They would never be back in my life..

“AITA For Refusing To Let My Family See My Son Until They Make A Formal Apology To My Wife And Announce It Online?”

People are allowed to go one with their lives, after a death and fall in love again. I don't know what's wrong with people. I'm glad these two found each other!!

“AITA For Refusing To Let My Family See My Son Until They Make A Formal Apology To My Wife And Announce It Online?”

Actually, if they really cared, they would never have started that garbage in the 1st place.

“AITA For Refusing To Let My Family See My Son Until They Make A Formal Apology To My Wife And Announce It Online?”

NTA. If the family truly cared, they would fall over themselves to make it right again. Instead, they want a pass for their horrible actions and statements. A real apology includes atonement.

“AITA For Refusing To Let My Family See My Son Until They Make A Formal Apology To My Wife And Announce It Online?”

Bingo. Proper apologies/amends are proportional to the harm. If I bump into you by accident, a short 'Whoops, my bad' works fine. If I back into your car, I pay for the repairs. Public defamation requires public reparation.

“AITA For Refusing To Let My Family See My Son Until They Make A Formal Apology To My Wife And Announce It Online?”

I think that if they shamed and slandered you publicly, they should apologise for it publicly.
