UPDATE!!! After careful consideration, based on all of the advice from you guys, I have decided to fuck the custom jeweler for revenge and to assert my dominance. He’s picking me up soon!! Will keep you guys updated! My ex is gonna hate me for this 🤪

My [33M] girlfriend [31F], let’s call her Rose, said she’d been wanting to take a trip to Colorado to visit her aunt. The last time we saw her aunt was 2 years prior when she came over for her birthday to surprise Rose (her aunt is like a second mother to her but had to move away with her husband for work 5ish years ago.) We plan the trip, i buy the tickets, book the hotel and fast forward to 2 days ago we’re in Colorado. We settled in at the hotel, visit her aunt, went out to eat, came back, slept, and yesterday went over there again. After coming back to the hotel yesterday, Rose tells me she wants to go back to her aunts to sleep over her house. I thought that was kind of odd since we’re visiting here for about a week and still have a lot of time to see her and we have to Uber to her aunts house, but I didn’t think much of it and figured she just wants to spend as much time with her as possible. She leaves and an hour or so later I text her to see what she’s doing because she never let me know when she got to her aunts house which is about a half hour away. She doesn’t answer the text and doesn’t answer my call and I start to get a little worried so I call her aunt and ask if Rose is there. Aunt said she’s not and while telling her that she should have been there by now, Rose texts me saying she’s in the living room watching tv with her aunt. Now two thoughts are in my mind, Rose lied to me and she’s somewhere else or something bad might have happened to her and she’s not the one texting me. I told her aunt I’d call her right back and call Rose. Rose picks up and says she’s in the bathroom and she’d call me right back and before I get to say anything she hangs up. At this point my heart is in my stomach and my palms are sweating and Im freaking out thinking there’s no way she’s cheating on me with someone. Ive had this weird vibe from her lately like she hasn’t been acting totally like herself and she’s done some questionable things when we first got together, but nothing this crazy. I knew her aunt would be worried since I was asking where she was so I called her aunt back and lied and said that she entered the wrong address and she decided to just Uber back to the hotel and we’d see her aunt tomorrow. I try to call Rose and text her for like 2 hours straight to see wtf she’s doing and she doesn’t answer. I didn’t know what to do and just started walking all around town, chain smoking cigarettes waiting for a text or a call. I finally go back to the hotel and end up knocking out on the bed after staying up for a little longer trying to call again, and then I wake up this morning to her walking into the hotel room. I jump out of bed and I said “What were you doing? I tried to text and call you for hours and you didn’t pick up or answer anything?” She said she was sorry and that she fell asleep with her phone on mute, charging in her aunts bathroom and then walks to the bathroom in our hotel to brush her teeth. At this point I’m furious because i know she’s lying and i was thinking of a million ways on how to react but when she walks out of the bathroom I just blurted out “I called your aunt yesterday and she said you weren’t there as you texted me saying you were there! Where were you!” She freezed and her eyes opened wide and just started crying. I already figured she cheated on me but her reaction just confirmed it for sure and I said “Oh my god you really cheated on me? You brought me on vacation to cheat on me? Where did you go? Who were cheating on me with? Did you know them this whole time? Was your aunt just an excuse to come here?” And the entire time I’m asking questions she’s ignoring everything and just repeats “I’m sorry” while crying. She stops crying and tells me she has been talking to this guy she met through Instagram and thought she’d go and spend time with him while she was here and was trying to tell me that she didn’t do anything and they just talked and hung out but knew I wouldn’t be okay with it so she lied and said she was going to her aunts. I respond saying “are you serious? You’re lying to me again? You really expect me to believe that? You were literally just crying because you’re guilty” and she starts crying again. She finally says she did really meet the guy through Instagram and that he makes custom jewelry and at first she was interested in a ring but it turned into them talking and they’ve been planning to meet since I first booked the flight and hotel. She said they had sex and as soon as she woke up this morning she felt disgusting and rushed back to the hotel and she kept apologizing to me and saying she’d do anything to fix this and I said nothing, just walked out, took an Uber to another hotel and I’ve been sitting in the room balling my eyes out wondering where to go from here. The flight back isn’t for another 3 days and I don’t know how I’m supposed to sit next to her on the plane. I feel sick to my stomach and lost.

My husband and I have a 5-year-old daughter, and I am six months pregnant with a boy. We appreciate that our parenting style is very different from that of our parents.

We decided to promote certain autonomous behaviors from a young age. Due to my own experience with an eating disorder caused by my upbringing, we prioritize autonomy in food for our daughter and plan to do the same for our son.

To foster this, we set up a tiny semi-functional kitchen for our kids. It includes a small, functional fridge, and my husband even rigged the sink with a weak pump. Our daughter keeps snacks in the fridge and her tiny pantry.

The snacks range from bananas to individual chocolates. She has the freedom to take a portion of whatever she wants. When she wants to cook (make a (fruit) salad, muesli, etc.), she can do so. Of course, she doesn't have access to dangerous items, but she helps us cook when she wants to.

This method has resulted in our daughter not going crazy at the prospect of candy or chips because she can decide when to have them. She also knows that once she eats her snacks for the week, that's it, so she has learned to pace herself.

Now, to the actual story. My MIL is in town for a while, and we let her stay with us. I actually like her, but it has been a struggle at times because she has very set ways. She is NOT a fan of the tiny kitchen. She thinks we're going to make our daughter obese by allowing her to have snacks when she wants. On the first night, she took away the muesli bar my daughter was eating because dinner was at 6 PM (it was around 4 PM). When we asked her to please give it back and not to interfere, she relented, and that was that. Or so I thought.

Last night, our babysitter got sick, and we asked MIL to watch our daughter. She agreed since it was just from 6 PM to 10 PM, and our daughter goes to bed at 7:30 PM. We went out for dinner, and when we returned, we found our daughter awake and crying. I went to soothe her, and my husband went to talk to his mother.

It turns out MIL had made baked fish with boiled potatoes for dinner. My daughter told her she doesn't like fish because the smell makes her queasy. MIL insisted she had to eat everything on her plate or she wouldn't be allowed to get up. Our daughter ate the potatoes and tried to eat the fish but gagged. MIL got furious, took the plate away, and sent her to bed early. Our daughter got hungry and went to her kitchen to make some banana oats. MIL heard her, took the food away, threw it out, and brought out the rest of the fish, insisting she finish her dinner if she was hungry. Our daughter started crying and, while trying to eat, threw up at the table. MIL changed her and cleaned up, and that's when we came home.

I WAS LIVID. I immediately told MIL that her behavior was unacceptable and that she overstepped our boundaries. I made it clear that she would not be welcome to stay with us again if she couldn't respect our parenting choices.

To make matters worse, I discovered the next morning that MIL had unplugged our daughter's fridge and put it outside. It rained heavily overnight, and the fridge was completely ruined. When I confronted MIL, she brushed it off, saying it was for our daughter's own good and that she didn't need a fridge. (Edit the fridge is not in her room. I translated from German and put it through chat, so it would be mistake free)

I decided to send her the receipt for the fridge, to underline how serious we are about this.

MIL thinks I'm overreacting and that I'm being disrespectful to her as the grandmother. My husband is on my side, but he feels caught in the middle.

So, AITA for refusing to let my MIL come over again and sending her a receipt for our daughter's fridge?

What quality from a game was so bad it was hard to overlook despite all the other great aspects of the game?
