My wife telling my kids, I do not care about them.

Quote from: Medic_wheat on 06/05/2018, 10:08 AMI have to agree with the op.

Your daughter isn't 18 yet or 17 or what ever the age is suppose to be.

So she doesn't get to dictate to parents conditions (which will undermine your authority as a parent).

I am more surprised your spouse is not showing a united front on this.

For me it would be like this: you can be embarrassed all you want, however this is a matter of safety and my knowledge that you will be home safe after your party. So until you have your own car, a license, and of the legal age to make your own choices independent from your mother and I you do not dictate terms and conditions on the level of freedoms you are afforded.
My thoughts exactly, I was also surprised that my wife did not agree with me or provided a united front. What made it worse she told my daughter that I was sabotaging her birthday.

Quote from: NightWolve on 06/05/2018, 09:21 AMSo old enough to be embarrassed by her parents... :/

Well, maybe a better compromise would've been to have a birthday party at home for family members some hours and then let her go to the restaurant afterwards to do her own thing with just friends if that was truly her wish.
This was also put on the table, but I did not want to have my daughter dictate the terms and conditions. I believe children need to know that parents are in charge and parents make the final decision.
Thank you for your opinion.

Need your honest answer fellow members
Recently my daughter turned 15 and wanted to celebrate her Birthday at a restaurant with 10 of her friends which I did not mind. And I agreed to do this. Two days before the party my wife says "We are going to the restaurant at this time, to drop her off."
I said "What do you mean drop her off" she said," Yes, we are dropping her off, because she does not want us there, and if we show up, I will be hijacking her party and she will not be happy."
I said "She is 15 and still a child she does not have the right to dictate if her parents are going to be there or not" my wife did not agree and still does not agree. I offered a compromise that we will stay at the restaurant but will sit at a separate table. Still not good enough for my wife...
On the day of the party I told my wife that we are going and staying there at the restaurant but at a separate table. My wife was not happy with this at all, and my daughter was not happy with the arrangement.  Before the party my sister calls me and says she is coming over to celebrate my daughter's Birthday, and I said great because she is family. And it was very considerate of her because she lives at least 1hr30 min away and had to drive through Rush hour traffic.
Well this started another argument with my wife and said I should have asked her first and to call her and tell her not to come. I told my wife no, she is family and wants to be with us to celebrate our daughter's birthday, and she is letting our son who is in college stay with her for $100 a month which includes everything. My wife insisted to call her and tell her not to come. I never did call my sister and welcomed her with open arms. Later after the party my wife tells me I hijacked her party and she did not have a good time, even though it seemed she was enjoying her party and continues to blame me for hijacking the party.
My question to everyone here:
Who is right in this scenario, my wife or me (The Dad) should I have given in, or did I do the right thing?

Quote from: ParanoiaDragon on 06/10/2016, 04:51 AMProbably gonna get a slightly used Honda Fit or a Kia Soul the way things are looking with the various suggestions from ya'll as well as from others I spoke to in person.  I just hope we don't get overly raped on turning in our Fiat.  I know they dropped the price on those, & we still owe plenty on it, so they'll have to roll it into our payment.  Trying to keep our payment low ofcoarse.  I think we both have great credit unless something changed recently.  Deffinitely want something that will run forever, since my wife's current job puts on some decent miles.  She said she wouldn't be opposed to a Yaris(which is what I'm driving) but it would have to be a 5 door & automatic(of which mine is a 3 door manual).  She had foot surgery that never fully healed, so it's got to be automatic for her sake.
You should try to sell your fiat yourself, the dealership will Rape you on this. If you do decide to trade it in, make sure you do not get scammed, they may say "Well I can't lower the price to much on the new car because I am giving you this much for your car" (SCAM) You are actually doing two deals, selling your car to them and buying a new car from them.

I have always been partial to Honda. When it comes to Korean cars I say no way, they look good but their quality build seems to cheap.. Oh and stay away from Car Max their cars are overpriced.

So I think the movie is based on when the Bothans stole the Death Star plans. And I have also heard Darth Vader should be making appearances here and there  But the Bothans were furry, and they have not shown any furry dudes. ](*,)

Quote from: wildfruit on 04/04/2016, 04:27 PMI can help you. You don't need a manual I'll tell you the set up procedure.
1. Plug in AC
2. Connect AV
3. Connect controller
4. Place HuCard or CD-ROM in appropriate place
5. Play
the manual is in japanese so that is probably more helpful than the actual manual. :)

I'm sure leon just wants to complete his system though.  but the manual has the system SN on it so its not going to be 100% match.
Wait, you forgot to power on after step 4, now we have to rewrite the whole thing over again :(

Actually both.
I don't envy your job.  I can think of one time I had to call a manufacturer's tech line (on a Mitsubishi Mini-Split) for a weird problem but I usually take pride in figuring out the problem on my own.  I will say that, at least in my area, I run into some major dummy service techs at the local supply houses.  I wonder how some of these guys even hold a job in this industry.
I wonder the same thing also, I had a few guys ask where the disconnect was located, and what a freezestat was. And I have to deal with this everyday

World of Tanks,, great game, but I got tired of spending money to buy gold. My tanks got as high as level 9, and I think to make them level 10 I have to spend $50 per tank..so I stopped playing. I may go back again to it but I will not spend the money to make them level 10
