So I wasn’t particularly interested in this group, but heard the songs, they sounded nice, started casually looking into news and stuff, got excited to see Ayana and wanted her to win because that would mean the group would be cohesive, interesting, talented.
Its no surprise Sakura got chosen considering how Son looked at her like a chocolate bar. It’s gross that they once again made the terrible decision to add someone to the group that lowkey brings nothing, is a minor, is so far behind the other members in skill.

It’s the friken Manon crap all over again, but even so, Manon had the audience backing her up and was overall liked, Sakura is hated rn, and it’s just gonna get worse and worse. And HxG sucks for bringing a literal child into this situation like that. Cuz the group is gonna get hate, Hxg is gonna get hate and Sakura, even if she’s literally no ones first choice, is gonna get massive hate.

Its crazy that they can absolutely make the choice the audience wants to see, and every friken time, without shame, they always make the wrong decision, starting a whole new group with controversy.

honestly and from the bottom of my heart: Fuck Hybe, Fuck Geffen, Fuck Son, Fuck Mitra. wtf.

So my father wasn't at all present in me or my siblings' lives. We were raised by my mom and it wasn't easy for many reasons (money was short, lack of emotional needs, parent fights etc.). My father essentially only did the basic court-mandated things, payed for allimony and called us weekly and used to spend a week in the summer and some 2/3 dinners per year. He left when I was 5, we used to spend every-other weekend with him but he ended up moving countries so the meetings were shorter and shorter with time. I'm the youngest and probably have the worst relationship with him, my middle sister has a better but weird relationship with him and my brother probably has around the same contact as I do.

This was just some context, but here's what i need help for:

I don''t usually give him gifts since he's never around for his bday or christmas, so I never get him anything because I eventually forget and enough time goes by that It stops being needed. But this time he invited us for his big 60 years dinner and I was thankfully raised well so I gotta give him a gift. But I have no idea what to give him given the context. I can't give him a "best dad ever mug" because that would be a lie and just weird, but I also don't feel right giving him a shower-gel pack since it feels a bit impersonal.

The second question is if I should ask my boyfriend to come with me. My father didn't invited him, though I've mentioned him before. they never met.

I would like my bf to meet him since we've been dating for 2 years and it feels like a good step in our relationship and a way to also let my bf into this hurtful part of my life, but at the same time my brother is literally having a baby with his gf of 1 year and I don't think he's told our father that he's having the baby and idek if my father knows he's dating and living together with this girl. I'm saying this because idk if this is the type of situation where I should be introducing my boyfriend, or if it's too soon for the type of relationship my father and i have.
I want to do this for my relationship but at the same time I'm scared it's too soon for this.

Internet parents, please help?

So my bfs (m23) birthday is coming up and I'm casually thinking about what to gift him, and thought about a new office/gaming chair, since his chair is literlaly from 1990 and is constantly descending, making him need to pull it up again.
I'm just afraid that this gift might be too specific and maybe he wants to chose his own chair? Should I gift him this, or should I include him in the choice? I really don't like including people in the gift since it takes away the surprise..

Does anyone know a chair good enough that anyone will want it, ergonomic but cool, handy etc.?
