TLDR, I have been dating this girl for some time, planning on proposing soon, this is no secret to her or her family.

Her father is a glorified man baby with a serious attitude problem, my way or the high way kinda guy. He is incredibly harsh on and strict with his family and gets triggered easily. Ex military. My Gf lives with me because he essentially kicked her out after an argument that she was 100% not at fault for.

I come from a military styled boarding school and have an ex military dad where manners and respect have been drilled into me from birth.

Coincidentally the day before fathers day my Gf and him had a major argument, on fathers day I had work and forgot to wish him. Now he is feeling “incredibly disrespected” and that the two events correlate and I was trying to prove a point. An apparently has issues with how i treat his daughter (she is incredibly spoiled and admits it herself) The man wants to ban me from the family house (okay?)

My GF and him made up but now his attention is on me and even though I wished him a day late and apologised he is still having this attitude toward me and demands I work harder to make ammends and “prove myself” to him, essentially brown nose.

My Gf says I should just accept it and apologise but I find this laughable. I am a grown ass man that works six days a week, I dont have time or mental capacity to deal with this or play these little games. My GF believes I am being unreasonable and argues shes caught in the middle and I should just brown nose for her sake, which I can understand but do not agree with.

AITAH for not wanting to cave to a man baby’s hyper sensitivity?

Some edits for clarity:

1. I spoil her not the father
2. she is

a bit

1. young

than me

1. to which I establish the close relationship with her father

3. she is an incredible girlfriend and an amazing person, i consider myself incredibly lucky to be with and is relatively easy to be with

5. a lot of family drama from her side. A lot.

7. Definitely sounds like her and i need to have a talk

This is just a little rant of mine about WBC.

I spend a lot of time on the site as it is a daily lunchtime pass time of mine and my coworker.

Just like any other retailer the pricing structure on WBC is BS in regard to their “discounts” and auctions.

There is one specific vehicle on their site that I have been monitoring for about 4 months although I have noticed it with other vehicles aswell.

When I first came across the car it was marked at new arrivals R93k, eventually marked down to R85k. The new price of R85k stuck for about two weeks before they had it on their “After Dark” discount where it was R83k but displayed it had been marked down from R93k specifically for this deal even though the new price had been in place. Next day it returned to R85k.

A few weeks later it was marked down a few times to R73k, then a week later it moved locations to another branch at R77k. And later went on auction as a “New Arrival” (after being there for a few weeks) with a starting bid of R76.5k? The starting auction price was basically the same as the sticker price.

The vehicle never sold at auction and is now on discount for R73k showing as marked down from R82k

Just another retailer posting fake discounts trying to trap you with time constraints

I have a Clio 4, had it for almost 9 years, sole owner, paid off, low miles, never given me an issue. Love the car so Id like to mod it instead of getting an suv.

But my god does it feel like every speed bump, pothole or dip in the road scrapes my car.

Polo boys are dropping their cars, mine came from the factory this way, we are not the same. /s
(Im stoned sorry)

What can I do to raise it and get some more ground clearance. Ive got 185/65 15s on. Do i need different tyres? Wheels? Shocks? Is it gonna cost an arm and leg?

Now that Ive got your attention, long story short my SIL is turning 13 soon. Her mother and sister are both very tom boyish so she doesn’t get much support from them in terms of her becoming a teen girl, now that she has herself started becoming less of a kid and wants to be girly her sister and I have decided to help her along

Last year for her birthday I got her her first makeup kit that she had been begging for, an appropriate proper perfume and we took her clothes shopping so that she could explore her fashion sense instead of what her parents would pick for her.

With her birthday coming up and her officially being in her teens I am looking for gift ideas that a teen girl actually would want given and can help her find herself or make this journey easier. Her sister and I are at a loss for ideas.

Edit: yes I am a man, how dare a man and his gf care about their little sister and want to give her something she would like/use. I must be a pervert.
