18th-Century Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 35

[cahn]

In the previous post Charles II found AITA:

Look, I, m, believe in live and let live. (And in not going on my travels again. Had enough of that to last a life time.) Why can't everyone else around me be more chill? Instead, my wife refuses to employ my girlfriend, my girlfriend won't budge and accept another office, my brother is set on a course to piss off everyone (he WILL go on his travels again), and my oldest kid shows signs of wanting my job which is just not on, sorry to say. And don't get me started about Mom (thank God she's living abroad). What am I doing wrong? AITA?

Oooh. As always, I'm tempted, but I think I'm going to have to pass again, as my brain is 100% in German-studying mode when not at work, which is why I haven't been participating much in salon, writing fic, or working on my Peter Keith and Fredersdorf essays.

I am still tempted by those sugar daddies, though, so maybe Yuletide or next year's RMSE, depending on how German-studying goes.

which no one but Mildred would ever be a suitable recipient for

It's funny 'cause it's true! :D :D
