First story: I HOPE it is not a real story. If it is, then this poor man has a big problem. He literally is in the Sophie's Choice situation. If he chooses his daughter, he'll have to abandon his son and pay child alimony. If he chooses his son, he'll have to get rid of his daughter. Perhaps the best way to deal with this is to NOT marry her, and see her blatant favouritism. Then, if she threatens him with having to choose between her and his daughter, to try to sue for full child custody. If he wins, he'll get both kids and his fiancee won't be in the picture, and he won't have to pay her anything, because they are not married. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

If she does get custody he would still have to pay child support for the son, unless they had 50/50 in which they usually don't assess child support.

That first story: literally just tell your fiance you want him to get rid of his daughter. Either he'll kick your arse to the gutter where it belongs (bonus points if he goes for full custody of your son since you're clearly an unfit parent), or he'll remove his daughter from an unsafe situation by sending her to live with family. I'd think less of him for the latter, but at least the child would be safe. Either way, the direct approach seems best.

My step dad, who is my dad because he raised me, never treated me different from my half siblings. He was 100% excited about being in the position of a step dad because he understood my biological father was not so attentive or caring (he never wanted kids… then went ahead and made two more after me), so he was so happy to give a kid a father to be proud of. A year after my mom and step dad got married, I asked if I could call him dad and he cried the whole day. It was the sweetest thing.

But this scenario is a 5yr old normal child with a dead parent--and, she didn't ruin your vagina coming into your life. I really hope the fiancé gets a clue and runs.

The "you're welcome vs. no problem" dilemma recently came up when my family was together. My dad is a boomer, my mom is borderline Gen X, my sister is a millennial, and I'm Gen Z. They were basically complaining about how "no one says 'you're welcome' anymore" when I joined the conversation. I was hesitant I'm speaking too boldly because I know my dad hates when people say "no problem", quote: "was it *supposed* to be a problem?" (He's a really great and kind guy aside from this, so it's pretty out of character for him.) I mentioned I had seen a post a few years back about how "you're welcome" is used by older generations and it mainly comes from a place of entitlement and feeling like the person was expected to help them (hence why they don't think it should even be suggested it *could* be a problem). Meanwhile, younger generations (like mine) feel the same awkward feeling rslash described. And I said I only really say "you're welcome" to kids because I know that's how they're taught manners, and I try to lead by example. They were all appalled that I even dared to *suggest* it was entitled, and how that's not it at all. They complained about how kids can't just accept a compliment or thank you these days. I wanted to counter with "that's because you raised us to think less of ourselves and to feel like we owe you our services", but I knew they would just start attacking me for making the *crazy* claim that they're entitled again, so I just left the conversation. I don't care how someone responds to my "thank you," or if they even reply at all. The important part to me is that I gave them the thanks they deserved for being kind and helpful to me, and then we go about our days.

With respect to the younger generation ( full disclosure I’m an old boomer ) saying you’re welcome, where I grew up in the country in the Midwest was not entitlement but an expression to a neighbor or even stranger that had extended a kindness or goods. For some of us boomers, our times/areas were very poor so something done was the other person giving a kindness service that was unexpected and often put a strain on their situation and the thank you was an acknowledgement. The you’re welcome was an expression of mutual respect and an acknowledgement we were all in it together. That said, I have zero issue with “no problem” since I see it as an acknowledgement of an expression of recognition that the thanking person is being polite and validating the behavior of the other. I guess when some of us grew up, we didn’t have social media other than physical interaction, and in the country that wasn’t often unless you were at a school, church, or farm related event. Sorry, better stop, seem to have put at least one foot on a soap box & that wasn’t my intention. Bottom line, to me, neither is entitlement, both are fine. If someone says differently maybe we have encountered a Karen ;-)

I find it interesting that r/Slash said "you're welcome" felt weird and transactional for him, when that's literally what the OP was referring to. Like, they specifically said, "Cashiers of America," so yeah, of course it's gonna be transactional. Personally, I phased out of "you're welcome" and into "no problem" just because it's said so much more commonly now. And, especially when it's during work hours, yeah, of course we're put out by whatever requests, but we're also expected to go above and beyond in jobs, so it's a "yeah, I'm doing something extra, but it's not an issue for me because I'm still getting paid." Now if it's for a friend, I'll still say no problem because if I feel like I'm gonna be burdened by something, I just won't volunteer. I'll sympathize, but I won't put myself out there.

It seems better to me, if it’s really necessary to choose (the complainer in the video seemed awfully petty). I’m 49 and I gotta say… “you’re welcome” brings to mind people who felt entitled to your thanks. Yeah, we should offer thanks where due, but the definition of generosity is to do the thing without expectation of reward. People from my generation and above also have a gift for making you feel uncomfortable with their thanks or their praise. Maybe it’s not just them, maybe it’s all generations, maybe it’s me. But I seem to remember years ago people thanking me over and over for things until I didn’t want to help them anymore because it got creepy…

As nonchalant an attitude as an Animal Crossing player bullying an unwanted villager to move out, except that girl is a real live person.

When the boys learned they were gonna have a baby sister the oldest was so excited, at first the youngest wasn't thrilled but he learned quickly that no one was gonna take his place in the family or love him less. We have always talked about their "real" mother (though we don't call her that) and we do still talk about her, but Ben, was 3 when she passed away and Zach was a baby so they don't remember much, all they have is pictures. I just remember, when Ben was 5 and I was 7 months pregnant, I picked him up at school and he ran to me and said "Mommy!" And I just started bawling from happiness and I held him and kissed him and I feel so honored that I get to be called their mommy. When people ask how many kids I have I say I have 6. Ben, Zach, Baby sister, Baby Sister and Twin boys. So reading that this b!tch wants to "get rid of a FIVE year old" makes me so freaking angry. Being a step mother is a honor and you better fucking respect it - that poor little girl already lost her mom, it's your job to be her momma now.

I'm an Xennial, so smack between the older "You're welcome" camp and the "No problem" crew. Honestly I use them both. In my personal life it tends to be "no problem," but in a professional environment it is usually "you're welcome" or "happy to help/be of assistance". It was drilled into me early on that you never tell an employer or coworker "no problem" because it may encourage them to give more responsibility without corresponding compensation.

I like that point of view. I'll be taking that into my professional life but I think it does get at the point. At least from my point of view, my grandparents and sometimes parents used a "You're welcome" to indicate that they felt they were owed the thanks and in the case of my grandfather, an indication that you owed him for later. My grandfather is generous with a price kind of man. I think because he used it the most in my family, I came to associate it with owing someone. I don't like making someone feel like they owe me anything for something I wanted to do for them or you know, just doing my job. I appreciate the thanks but I don't expect more. That's what I'm trying to convey when I say "no problem" or "happy to help" etc.

To me, "you're welcome" has no negative connotations; it just feels more formal. I use it with older folks or when a more "professional" response feels warranted. I use "no problem" when it's casual, or (passive-aggressively) when someone foists an unwanted task on me and then tries to imply they *totally* didn't mean to massively inconvenience me (even though they definitely did. Eff you, Karen...)

I don't know if "Ingen orsak" is a young or old person thing though. Can some other Swedish speaker out there enlighten me?

I try to always be careful and thank people for even the simplest of common courtesies, like when someone holds a door for me (I hobble with a cane sometimes and appreciate the gesture). BUT while I am careful to give thanks, so I don't give a squat whether someone says "you're welcome" or "no problem" or "yes, sir", or whatever, as I know it's just linguistics and sometimes generational. More important to treat people with kindness rather than get hung up on words. Also, I say thank you when I'm making a purchase at a store or other place. Service workers rarely get the appreciation they deserve, so I try to give it whenever I can.

I first noticed it over a decade ago when someone told me that the president of our university hates people who use "no problem." I still used "no problem" for many years despite this, until I had a boss who put so much work on me that I felt overwhelmed. After months of pulling extra hours, I finally just felt like my boss should be grateful. So, I started to use "you're welcome" with my boss all the time.

With the thanks/you’re welcome deal, especially in retail since I work in retail, I actually switched consciously from ‘no problem’ to ‘of course’. It still implies that help was something expected of me, and that helping someone was the given instead of something I could choose to or not to do. But it gets rid of the negatives, the ‘no’ portion, which in my perspective makes it feel more welcoming. It’s also a technique with selling to avoid negatives like “we don’t have that but” and use more positive phrases like “while we’re out of that, we do have”. It could just be that, but that’s my perspective

On the "you're welcome"/"no worries" debate, I think best solution is for everyone to adopt the Australian response: "No wucken furries, mate." 100% agree with the whole transactional feel of "you're welcome", but my primary deciding factor is one of accessibility - as a lifelong stutterer, I need to program in responses to social situations that are always going to be easy to say. "You're welcome" contains a few sounds that are sometimes problematic, whereas "no problem" is better but still not always ideal. "No worries" is my go-to, and also a hint for those who might still need some help translating Australian to English.

I’m 17, and I feel the same way, saying “you’re welcome” just doesn’t feel right to me, especially when I feel like I didn’t give the appropriate amount of help that deserves it, and if it’s an older person(if they’re nice about it) I don’t mind helping them out. Pretty much, I’m super uncomfortable with saying “you’re welcome” to someone because it just made me feel somewhat entitled, and now I know why.

In hospitality, I was taught that telling people “No Problem” implies 2 negative statements. That you’re telling a customer “no” and implying it could’ve been a problem for you. It’s why I’ve defaulted to “Of Course” when someone thanks me for helping or doing my job

Tbh about the gas pump thing. I’m a new driver and live in a small town where there is only one pump that operates both gas and Diesel. I almost made that mistake when I went to my first gas station that had two pumps and one of them was green. I’m glad the attendant caught it and explained it to me because I was clueless. I could have wrecked my small car from doing this. Not saying Karen is right, just that I understand.

The craziest thing tbh is the fact that, in Europe, the diesel and gas pumps are reversed color-wise. Gas is green while diesel is black. The weirdest part tbh is that somehow that Karen managed to put a diesel pump into a gas tank's port. Diesel pumps (at least where I live) have much larger nozzles that physically don't fit inside a gas tank's port. The second story for that is much more common tho if you're not paying attention, since gas pump nozzles can easily fit into a diesel tank.

@@limiv5272 I think it depends on the place. Some do and some don’t. It’s supposed to be one of those “you just know it” things I guess people learn just by doing it. The gas stations I go to have the one nozzle and the buttons are label so that you know what gas will come out.

1st one literally contradicted herself in the end. She says the stepdaughter is gonna steal the father’s attention away from their son. Wants the girl to stay with the grandparents or another couple, so the man gets involved with the boy more. But in conclusion she claims she still wants the girl to receive all the attention she deserves?

To the diesel pump one, I have been to a few gas stations where the colors were reversed. Green was gas and black was the diesel, but for the most part the green usually does go on the diesel pump. I would give her the benefit of the doubt that she wound up at one of those weird inverted-color pumps, but even then she still had to push the big honkin' "DIESEL" button to select it.

I'm also in the "no problem" camp. And I 100% feel the same as Rslash. In most cases it feels awkward and way too formal to say You're Welcome. No problem feels less formal and uptight.

As soon as I heard "the gas station ruined my car" I instantly knew she put diesel in her gas tank. Also, they are always clearly marked and the only way you can make that mistake is if you spent your entire life ignoring signage.

Sadly, I came across a gas station (many years ago) that decided to not adhere to this universal rule of color-coding. I paid inside, and they started the pump for unleaded. I grabbed the black pump, and noticed it wouldn’t pump the gas. Why? Because it was apparently diesel, which was not the gas I selected at the time of payment. Pre-payment and fuel selection saved my car. Who the heck switched the colors? Why? I guess some people just want to watch the world burn🤷🏻♀️. To this day, I always verify that the pump color matches the fuel.

I'm fine with either "You're welcome" or "No problem." However, I think that the response to "Thank you" should NEVER be "yup." THAT one annoys me.
