[@CluelessCatty]

@@rileymaughantolson6315 oh ok

[@finnmchugh99]

I may not be a law major but i definitely know falsely identifying as a military veteran aka Stolen Valor is a serious felony.

[@SimonSilo-jm5wc]

Try to find the op and tell them that, maybe they can get him to prison

[@OfficialPrestonGarvey]

probably 20-30 years in jail

[@johnusas2870]

It's only chargeable if they take government support/ veterans support.

[@Gems-of-Hope-Rocks]

@@johnusas2870 Probably (I haven't looked into it but, using a law school education to deduce) would include private sector benefits such as money from a fundraiser.

[@OfficialPrestonGarvey]

@@johnusas2870 they did i read the full Reddit and there was a pt2 and it's said that the “veteran” had did that

[@QuickManEXE]

Story 1: The OP's dad is a major piece of crap and probably qualifies as one of the worst dad's ive ever heard on the channel thus far. He deserved every bit of bad things that came his way. I hate people like that. Faking being a veteran is bad enough, but made worse when you do have the papers to prove it. It's all made even worse with all of the emotional and physical abuse as well. There were huge red flags when he said he made the OP to fear the CPS and police. The dad knew he was in the wrong by saying that and used it as a way to try and never get caught or punished. Hopefully he did get punished in some way and not just have his reputation wrecked. Story 2: Dont give you mom a single penny. She is terrible with money and sounds terrible overall too, with getting the grandmother to cut out others in the will, just so she can get everything. Greed will get you everytime. If you give her any money, you can guarantee that you'll never get any of it back. Story 3: Why work that long for these morons? I know i would've quit ages ago, along with contacting every single government agency i could think of long before the OP did. Glad that Dave and Erica lost out on everything and equally more hilarious that Erica got stranded in Italy after being robbed. That's definitely karma there. Hope she stays stranded and homeless in Italy too. Story 4: OP is by no means the jerk here. The SIL definitely is though. If the brother and SIL want to make their kid their centre of the universe, then they are allowed to... but they shouldn't except anyone else to make the kid/niece their centre of the universe. The guilt tripping and gaslighting here is really pathetic. If i were the OP, i would threaten to rescind their wedding invites if they continue to act this way, you dont need that kind of drama.

[@spikertaker]

Last OP: It's not you not wanting to incorporate your niece in your wedding, it's your sister being drunk on the attention at the cost of her daughter and being slighted when her addiction gets denied.

[@jojo-uw8tx]

Last story: I completely agree with the OP’s decision. The SIL needs to realize that the world doesn’t revolve around her, and that no one outside the family actually cares about her having a miracle baby. Everyone else would just see it as an entitled relative trying to get their way, when it’s just not happening

[@gotenblack2542]

Ya

[@rileymaughantolson6315]

Krawer

[@thetxaggie6575]

That was definitely more for the SIL than the niece, who wouldn't even know what's going on

[@kirby4077]

Yeah, it has nothing to do with the niece. SIL just wants to be seen as mother of the flower girl

[@soralinklokidottirprincess10]

That baby is going to grow up into an entitled brat If OP and her soon to be husband are planning on having a child they should tell limited the people they tell and put brother and SIL on low info diet’s and it seems like OP’s mom can’t be trusted since she thinks it’s fair to take the roll of flower girl from a sweet 6 year old Honestly do Brother and SIL think that the attention will stay on their kid forever Honestly that’s how brats are born.

[@Quikturns]

Why would you lie being a veteran

[@TheDarkLink7]

To quote season one I believe episode one of Archer. "Idiots doing idiot things cause their idiots" is how I rationalize it.

[@XOrtKnight]

People do this for attention or for scamming people on the street.

[@agsdragon5475]

It’s an insult to true vets

[@Quikturns]

@@XOrtKnight you are right

[@voided9593]

Because Veterans get discounts and they can get almost anything for free.

[@jaegerbomb269]

First story, no. Not an A-hole. I have no sympathies for phonies and all for exposing them. Second story, WTF that lady is irresponsible as hell! Glad that OP said no to her. Third story; well done to the OP for getting pay back. Karma is a bitch. Fourth story, glad that lady stuck to her guns.

[@rileymaughantolson6315]

True

[@catflower3296]

You're so close 1Mil! I'm so happy for you ❤

[@TheMetalWeirdo]

I agree with OP's decision form the last story. 1) It's OP and her fiancés wedding, so what they say goes. 2) The niece is 2, I highly doubt she'd make a good flower girl. Besides, that role was already promised to her *daughter* (albeit stepdaughter, but she's OP daughter nonetheless). If I was in OP's situation, the brother and SIL would be uninvited since I wouldn't put it past them to try and steer the attention to their "MiRaClE BabY" with the same stories they told multiple times before from the bride and groom. And last time I checked, it's taboo to steal the spotlight from the wedded couple on their wedding

[@mancave10369]

Why must fakers take away the credibility of ACTUAL people like these?

[@sandrasausville9103]

Third storyline is just the fact that Mom has a drug issue and that's half of the problem, she gets wasted and goes on a shopping spree. Honestly I'd block her and let her figure it out because it's her own fault

[@princessmarlena1359]

Awesome, thanks for the Star Fox 64 background playing.

“All parents believe their children are little angels” Mitsuki Bakugou: Katsuki’s a brat. Masaru Bakugou: (Why did I marry her and have a child with her- he’s the same as she is-)

[@lynnecamp3268]

Story 2 - The mother is terrible, treating her sisters, children, and who knows who else, the way she has. However, what knocked me for a loop was her going to OP's apartment the night before they're scheduled to deliver donated food to the food bank so she can go through and pilfer some of the food. Unbelievable!

[@cliffordmaynard6559]

On the story about the Bad and evil boss and his mistress, great job op, they deserved Everything they got and More.

[@Lanethefirst]

Faking being a veteran is horrible

[@calamitycaleb]

I listen to the podcast daily

[@Darten6]

That mom literally needs some sort of meds to get off drugs. (I have no idea if there even are though)

[@mikewaterfield3599]

first thing, no one actually spec ops refers to themselves as spec ops. They will call themselves a SEAL, Ranger, Force Reconnaissance, EOD, Green Beret ect. if they refer to it at all. Part of this using the fleet for example is because your rank is tied directly to your rating. One might be a GM2(SWCC, SW). Though qualified as a SWCC, In casual conversation they are still just a petty officer. No one says "i'm special forces". It's one of those things you pick up on when your active. For all my time no one ever called it "the service" or said things like "where did you serve". We were in the fleet or navy, and we were stationed. Even those attached to a ship were stationed at that ships home port and deployed along with their vessel. That is another one that stands out. In my word air wing personnel never referred to "what ship they were on". They were assigned to a squadron that in turn was a assigned to a CAG that would for the purposes of deployment be deployed with a battle group. We were our own independent command structure. Little details like this may seem minor or incidental, but they are how the genuine article can spot stolen valor a mile out. We know our own.

Story 2 my grandma was going into surgery and I made my own business at school and the surgery was gonna cost $9000 so I couldn’t pay anybody and they started like complaining. Also I am a 10 year old male and they expected to get paid and I said no because I had to save money to pay for my grandma so she can get better because she still needed some stuff because I wanted to make him feel better and they were like no let me I want to get paying now, but like it’s $9000 and then one of my friends came in there like surgery is way more for way more important then getting paid because they’re like in need of diary, emergency care and ever since then. Yeah, am I the jerk.

You're a 10 year old running a business? What ya got a lemonade stand? Some black market snacks in school?

[@sssst1199]

My great uncle has 2 Purple Hearts

[@ArcTrooper-Fives]

at 6:51 it is stated that in the second story, op has a family of four living off 1 income. I have a family of 5 living off one income, with an alcoholic, panic buyer, and self-entitled narcissus who believes every my family owns is hers and hers only and that the world will end if someone won't get her a drink. this woman can do tasks for herself and is just too lazy

[@rickmarr8784]

Story 2: time for some tough love, OP needs to put her foot down. Story 4: Not a jerk, seriously the kid is going to be 2. The child won't even know what is going on let alone remember the event.

[@abisahivideos1641]

The first story reminds me of my friend saying “when you grow up you’ll be in the special forces now go back to your special Ed class”

[@gotenblack2542]

Last story ya the brother and sister in law are acting like their special because of their daughter they should understand the daughter could be the flower girl in another wedding or something

[@iam18bitch2]

The stories were cool but man, watching whoever played in the background botch one thing after the other just hurt. Seeing Falco get shot down at the end almost made me rage in anger at the screen

[@francischang4052]

[@jamesmahan6322]

SIL wants a 6 yr old to carry a 2 yr old down a long church isle. That seems irresponsible to me. Average 2 year old girls weighs 26.5 lbs and stand nearly 3 feet tall. Average weight of a six year old is 44 lbs. Average six year olds are not power lifters.

[@Maru-cs9uw]

The third stories where the art husband feels "abandoned", it's full bull, he seemed selfish wanting everything to be his way, the best option would be to send him to therapy and go to therapy couple together, if it doesn't work out then I guess the last option which would hurt is divorce. I mean let's look clearly he is selfish and wants to feel wanted and needed, but wants you to loose your job, but once your kids gets older and if an accident happen it will be difficult especially since he used the saving for a small business that failed.

[@user-vt4si1ef6r]

You know what? You’re right. I see the resemblance now. OK, except for the part where there are three other kids in that relationship instead of just two, or one in the case. Also, the part where endeavor eventually makes an effort to redeem himself, have not seen the anime about this, I just heard that it happened

Pretty sure if you have the paperwork you can get medals that were damaged or destroyed replaced. Just need the proof with your dd214 if anything. How do you think people get shadow boxes made with medals that may have been lost or destroyed one way or another.

The last story, every time someone has a “miracle baby” they try to make them the center of attention for anything and everything

[@chocodraws5137]

The irony is in most cases the miracle babies grow up to be the worst people, a lot of them end up expecting everything they want to just be given to them

[@Fiercetits]

@@chocodraws5137 absolutely, parents just set them up for failure.

[@lauramiller7690]

Absolutely not to jerk your stepdaughter would be heartbroken to renege the offer at this point you start your whole relationship on her off and a very bad foot and it stated the niece is two-years-old he'll be lucky if she could even do the job correctly should be wandering all over the Isle and not even throwing down the flower bottles and she won't remember it the only persons heartbroken is your brother and sister-in-law because they want to see the cute little pictures and think it's adorable when she screws up when everybody else will be annoyed. It has stated everybody already knows about how blessed they were to finally have the baby but the whole world doesn't revolve around them and their baby

I know this is for the stories and i will say, the last one ticked me off cause the SIL is suggesting her daughter..... If it was her own wedding, by all means, but this is OPs wedding and the husbands KIDS who are directly involved. It is their lives, not their lives plus aunt/niece. She is an idiot and damn entitled to shove her situations that does not involve her. This next topic is not relating to any other stories but while listening to them and as much as i tried, the player behind this story playing star fox, i just want to slap him out of existence. It is very peeving and cringing to see such atrocity on how this is even allowed to be put on video. The stories would be much sweeter if players would actually be good.... very dumb thing to be mad at but it is sooooo...... cringing.... and i know my whining is just as cringing probably to others but i don't care. i just had to say something.....
