64 Spine-Chilling Halloween Disasters That Will Make You Question Everything Beyond Costumes
Context: My wife 29F always makes the kids Halloween costumes. We have 3 kids 5F 7M and 9M. She did not have an amazing childhood and so I think she is constantly trying to make sure our kids do.
She home makes every birthday cake, diys the birthday decorations, makes pajamas for every holiday and always home makes the Halloween costume. She also does these theme monthly movie nights, where she creates this whole scene. For example this month was coraline, she make custom dolls for each kid, welcome home cake and the whole food spread.
This is all great but the problem is she expects me to help. All are kids are in activities, we both have full time careers, and I believe she stretches herself thin trying to do all this. And also expects me to. We have the money to just go out and buy stuff so I don’t get way we have to do so much. She says these are the things the kids will remember.
Anyway this all came to head as I’ve been out of town most of the month for work so she’s had to shoulder the full responsibility of the kids. This caused her to be behind on making the costumes and she’s stressed. She was asking me if I’d be able to create one of the costumes for her, she has the supplies and can walk me through. The problem is I just don’t feel like it. I told her we can go get a cheap costume, it’s not a big deal.
Well she refused and was up all night finishing these costumes. I told her this morning that they looked awesome and she just rolled her eyes. She was making coffee and I asked if she’d make me a cup, she replied go buy one. She’s been distant and cold. I was talking to my coworker and he called me out. Saying my wife is right, my kids will remember the effort my wife put in and they’ll also remember how hard I made it for her.
Now I’m feeling off, like maybe I am the AH. But at the same time I usually do help a bit, I was thinking this one time wouldn’t be a big deal since we were both tired.
So AITA?
I just bought a house in a suburban area, and on the Halloween weekend my friends and I planned on going camping and making a party of it. We’d be going from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening.
I’ve never lived in a place that does much trick or treating, I grew up really rural where every house was a mile from the next, and then I lived in a college town where the thing to do was throw a house party or go out to the bars.
So when I absentmindedly headed out on my camping trip leaving my outdoor lights on and pumpkins on my porch I didn’t think much of it.
I got home from camping and there were a bunch of kids and parents waiting on my porch and when I was driving up I heard my neighbor yell to the group “she’s not answering the door” and then I remembered Sunday was actual Halloween (my friends and I celebrated on Friday and Saturday nights)
I got home and the neighbor on one side asked me where I’d been, it was almost the end of trick or treating and I’d been away all day and missing their texts.
I said I was camping then driving a carpool of my friends home from camping. My neighbor said I’d really inconvenienced him by setting up my decor for trick or treat, leaving all the lights on, and then not being home, making him tell groups every few minutes all night to not bother waiting.
I said sorry, I didn’t remember it was trick or treating that night.
The neighbor next door on the other side came by at that point and said that this is a really big neighborhood for trick or treat, it’s a family neighborhood, and it wasn’t neighborly of me to be away for Halloween and not participate.
I started to get frustrated because I hadn’t even known Halloween was a big deal to them, I hadn’t even remembered it was actually Sunday and not Saturday, and I felt like they were mad because I didn’t do something that I didn’t even know would be important to them. Like if one of them said Halloween is really important to them in advance and they’d like me to contribute I could of tried to be home or put out a bowl of candy or something.
I told both neighbors that it wasn’t fair of them to be mad over something I didn’t even know would be a big deal, and they said that it should have been obvious to me not to decorate for Halloween and leave the lights on and then go out.
AITA for being away on Halloween?
My (21 female) boyfriend (20 male) does not like my Halloween costume. Halloween is coming up and my friends and I decided that we wanted to dress up as fairies. Halloween is the one day that it is okay for people to dress scandalously and we were taking full advantage. My friends and I ordered lace bodysuits with different patterns. Mine specifically was green with gold trim and butterflies all over it (very cute). The whole outfit consists of the bodysuit, sheer tights, plastic leaves on vines, jewelry, sandals, wings, and pointed ears. I told my boyfriend about my Halloween costume and he immediately said that he does not want me wearing the costume. I told him that he has no say in what I wear. He was not happy and told me that I should have asked him about my costume before purchasing it. He kept saying that I am disrespecting him by wearing this outfit in front of other people even though he would be with me the entire night. I finally told him that I do not care about his opinion on my outfit choice and that I would be wearing it anyway. He and I can usually settle and argument pretty quickly but this one has lasted for a few days. I still do not think that he should have any say on what I wear and I still plan to wear the fairy costume however, I fear that I was too outspoken. AITA?
Me and my wife been married 10 years and have 3 kids together. We both have always been a little on the chubby side but don’t get me wrong cause my wife is absolutely gorgeous. In the middle of covid I saw the numbers about how it hit overweight people harder than others and I started eating right. Running. And put a weight bench in the garage. I only dropped like 30 pounds but in the past two years I’ve gone from being afraid of having my shirt off at the pool to bring proud of myself in the mirror.
So, boom. Halloween hits. I had been hyped all month cause I had like a Roman gladiator type costume to wear out with the kids. We always all wear costumes. I get dressed and we are both getting the kids ready and she doesn’t even put on her robe to be like a fortune teller. And then she grabs the keys and says everyone ready? It was like 68F out and absolutely beautiful to walk our little neighborhood. I tell her the kids and I wanted to walk as we are standing in the drive way ready to go. She kinda stamps her foot and just goes back inside.
