Man Is 'Tired of Dealing with' Picky Family Members After His Birthday Dinner Plans Lead to 'Hostile' Interaction
The man says he's spent years adjusting every meal around his dad's wife and her son's extreme dietary needsNEED TO KNOW A man chose a restaurant he liked for his birthday dinner, upsetting his dad's wife and her son who have restrictive diets The family demanded he move the dinner out of state to suit their preferences — he refused The man is now facing backlash for holding firm, but says he no longer considers them real familyA man seeks support from the Reddit community for advice following a tense birthday dinner that reignites years of unresolved family tensions. In his post, the 22-year-old explains how choosing a restaurant for his birthday sparked backlash from his father's wife, Kathleen, and her son, Benjamin. 'My dad got married to Kathleen when I was 15,' the poster shared, noting that Kathleen has two children of her own, one of whom he has never met. The one he does know — Benjamin, now 18 — has multiple allergies and an extremely limited diet, which has long dictated the family's eating habits. 'Benjamin is allergic to peanuts and shellfish,' the man wrote, adding that the allergy is just part of the challenge. 'On top of that him and Kathleen are very picky eaters.' He recalled how meals were always restricted when he lived with them. 'His diet when I lived there consisted of pizza, fries and burgers and beef and cheese tacos,' he shared. 'He didn't eat fruits or vegetables. He didn't eat any meat except for beef.' Kathleen, too, has a long list of dislikes. 'I can't remember all the stuff she wouldn't eat but it included any kind of fish, any kind of potato, rice, pasta, bread and stuff like that," the Redditor wrote, noting that this limited nearly every family meal to just a few fast food spots. Ordering takeout or dining out as a family became an exhausting routine. 'The food was never great but could've been worse,' he added. 'I think the part that sucked was every time we ordered out for my birthday or went out for my birthday it was one of the two places we had.' Even simple options like tacos were difficult to manage. 'A taco place was out unless they'd remove all veggies and extras except for the meat and cheese,' he recalled. 'And some places still put 'gross s---' to quote Benjamin on them when they did seemingly comply.' As he grew older, he began skipping their 'family meals,' tired of being forced into their limited choices. 'Anytime still they want to do a family meal out they expect us all to go to their chosen fast food places that work for Benjamin and Kathleen,' he explained. 'And I'm tired of dealing with them.' This year, for his birthday, he decided to do things differently. 'A few weeks ago I had a birthday dinner with my girlfriend and some family and friends,' he wrote. 'Dad wanted to come and he expected Kathleen and Benjamin to be invited too.' The poster made it clear that they were welcome—as long as they were willing to eat at the restaurant he picked. 'I told him that was okay if they'd eat where I had chosen,' he shared. But soon after, he was met with resistance. 'I got an email from Kathleen and calls from dad where I was told my restaurant of choice did not meet the needs and requirements of Benjamin and Kathleen," the Redditor explained. The pair even suggested that he and his guests travel out of state for a more suitable dining option for them. His response was firm. 'My answer was no and I told dad he could still come but I was not changing where I have MY birthday dinner," he wrote. However, Kathleen did not take the refusal lightly. 'Kathleen sent another email asking why I was being so hostile like her daughter and I should care about my family's health and interests,' he noted. The message struck a nerve, especially since he's never even met her daughter. Tensions rose further when his dad and Kathleen learned that other members of his dad's family traveled to join the birthday celebration. 'Dad and Kathleen were more upset to learn some of dad's side flew out to join us for dinner when they typically won't accept plans from them to eat out," the original poster continued. Now, he said, he's facing even more backlash for simply choosing a restaurant he liked. 'So now I'm facing more of their anger for my choice of restaurant,' he shared. But as he turns to Reddit to ask if he's in the wrong, the support he receives is clear.

And it sounds like she is fully just your dad's wife. Not any kind of stepmom.' In response, the original poster shared what seems to be the heart of the matter. 'That sums it up,' he wrote. 'I don't consider either of them any kind of real family. Only people my dad chose as his family.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

What Tropical Storm Erin's Path Shows as Atlantic Ocean Braces for First 2025 Hurricane
Erin is the fifth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1NEED TO KNOW Tropical Storm Erin formed in the Atlantic on Monday, Aug. 7, and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane The storm is heading west and is expected to be located just north of the Caribbean by the weekend Forecasters with NOAA have predicted there will be anywhere between five and nine hurricanes this seasonTropical Storm Erin has officially formed in the Atlantic, and it could become the first hurricane of the season. The tropical storm formed on the morning of Monday, Aug. 11, and has maximum sustained winds near 45 mph, according to a public advisory from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami. Erin is currently moving to the west at about 20 mph, and forecasters say the storm is expected to continue in this direction 'for the next several days' as the storm gradually strengthens. Intensification will apparently be slow to start, but Erin could intensify more in the coming days, according to a forecast discussion published by the NHC. In fact, forecasters suggest Erin may become a major hurricane within the next five days. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Currently, Erin is located about 280 miles west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands and just over 2,300 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands, according to the NHC. By this weekend, Erin is forecast to be located just north of the Caribbean. Meteorologists with The Weather Channel said the odds of Erin making a direct impact with the East Coast of the United States are currently low. However, they said, 'it's too early to rule out any possible track scenarios next week.' Erin is the fifth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, which began on June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. As of Wednesday, Aug.7, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts there is a 50% chance of an above-normal season in the Atlantic, down from the 60% predicted ahead of the 2025 hurricane season. NOAA forecasters predict there will be between 13 and 18 named storms with five to nine of them becoming hurricanes, two to five of which could be major — about the same as predicted before the season began. The average hurricane season sees 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major storms, according to NOAA. Read the original article on People

Wildfire breaks out as latest heatwave hits capital
A wildfire has broken out in northeast London as the capital grapples with its fourth heatwave of the summer. Eight fire engines and around 60 firefighters have responded to a fire on Wanstead Flats, in Epping Forest, on Monday. Crews from London Fire Brigade found three hectares of grassland alight, with crews tackling multiple pockets of fire. Local residents have been advised to keep doors and windows closed, and avoid the area where possible. The fire was contained just before 8pm, but firefighters remained on scene this evening, carrying out further operations. One of the Brigade's Wildfire Response Vehicles was sent to the scene to support firefighting operations. Firefighters also made use of a drone to monitor the size of the fire. The Brigade's Control Room has taken over 30 calls reporting the fire, and crews from Leytonstone, Stratford, Leyton and surrounding fire stations have been mobilised to the scene. It comes as forecasters have warned of several days of hot and humid conditions, as London experiences its fourth heatwave this summer. Yellow heat health alerts, issued by the UK Health Security Agency, are already in place for most of England – excluding the north-east and north-west – from Monday to Wednesday. The Met Office says the official heatwave criteria will be met across many areas, with three consecutive days of temperatures above thresholds that range between 25C and 28C depending on location. In London, temperatures were forecast to reach 29C on Monday, rise to 32C on Tuesday and hit 28C on Wednesday. As the upgrade to amber health alerts was announced, Dr Paul Coleman, Consultant in Public Health at UKHSA, said: 'Temperatures are forecast to rise above 30°C across central and southern parts of the country over the next few days, and generally hot weather is expected across most regions of England. 'These kind of temperatures can result in serious health outcomes across the population – particularly in those who are vulnerable, such as the elderly or those with serious health conditions - so it is important that everyone takes sensible precautions while enjoying the sun. 'If you have friends, family or neighbours who are vulnerable, it is important to ensure they are aware of the forecasts and are following the necessary advice. Check in on them if you can to make sure they know that hot weather is on the way and how to keep themselves safe.'
