My [17M] parents [54M, 49F] have been having issues. I suspect that my dad is gay and is cheating on my mom. What do I do?quote:Hey guys, sorry for all the text in advance. So my dad is a professor, and about two years ago (spring 2017) he befriended a student who I'll call A who's in his early 20s (23-24ish now). I don't know if my dad taught A at any point or if they just met somehow else, but he's studying in my dad's field. How in the gently caress has it taken you two years to realise your dad's loving this guy. Why has everyone just accepted this situation. Why has your dad moved in his boyfriend.

Why are the weapon-obsessed poo poo-monglers so loving reluctant to lock things up? It doesn't matter if it's a gun or a battle-axe, it is not a goddamn toy, put it the gently caress away.

FactsAreUseless posted:A friend's nephew was shot in the face and blinded by his older brother because they found their dad's unlocked, loaded gun just lying around. Keep your guns locked up you irresponsible garbage boy. The guns are locked up. I guess the more "decorative" pieces are the ones lying around? I'd also argue that axes and machetes are about as dangerous as kitchen knives and other household objects that no one thinks twice about keeping out of a child's reach, and which the wife probably wouldn't bat an eye at. Please note that I'm NOT saying that toddlers are safe around any sort of sharp object.

Isn’t au pair French for “bang-nanny” anyway? Wife (51) upset about new au pair (18) from Sweden and it’s causing problem with our relationship u/markomailey2018 quote:We have a four year old son and my wife decided to hire an au pair instead of doing day care this spring. I was hesitant at first because sometime people from different cultures don’t follow the right rules when it comes to child care. She settles on helga a very nice mature girl from Sweden. I warmed up to her right away because she is very smart and a good worker. To say thank after the first month I took her to dinner. My wife was very upset after this because she says I never take her out and that it wasn’t the right thing to do to take her to a fancy dinner. I was going to surprise her by taking her to the beach in a few weeks but my wife found out and stormed out of the house saying I just want to see her in a bikini. I think she is being very unfair and culturally insensitive to our new guest. Not sure how to confront her about this? sephiRoth IRA fucked around with this message at 23:39 on May 26, 2019 |

I knew a family that collected broadsword's and poo poo growing up. One of them eventually ended up being thrust through a sibling's door. This did not surprise me. It would probably surprise Mr. "But I have the only key and can never lose it/have it stolen/accidentally leave it out. And I will never, ever forget to lock up."

The only reason to hire an au pair is if you want to gently caress them. Ah yes, lets take the single most important job I will ever hire for and instead of giving it to someone who both has multiple years of experience personally and professionally and who wants the job long term, lets hire a hot teenager with no proven skills and an inclination to leave the second they realize how much being a parent actually sucks.

I do know of a successful au pair scenario. But it's an older gay couple who only hire women.

Nah after my parents divorced as a kid we had a string of young women as au pairs who helped my mom out. It was a godsend b/c my mom was starting a business and my dad wasn't a full-on deadbeat but wasn't exactly supportive either. Once I was old enough to watch my brothers they stopped. Nothing but good experiences. They were just kids themselves but they were interesting, taught us a bunch about European cultures, and helped break us of some spoiled American child habits, and they really took some of the pressure off of a stressful time in everyone's lives.

AITA for wanting a divorce from husband who lost 200k on bitcoin?quote:My husband and I have been married for 10 years. For our entire relationship, I have brought the majority of the money into the home. I contribute 75% of that. I don't mind, really. It's not something I think about and I have always considered it "our" money. Our country (Switzerland) is really expensive and I grew up not in a large city, and rather poor. When I had the chance to go to university, I studied hard, learned 3 languages, got 2 degrees, and was able to secure a good position in finance. Years later, I make a very good salary and we don't have to worry about money.

HMS Beagle posted:AITA for wanting a divorce from husband who lost 200k on bitcoin? 2. I have never met a primary earner who didn't immediately default to thinking of all the money as theirs the instant there's a whiff of friction. That's not shade, I get it. You went and got the paychecks, it's your money. It's the lies they tell themselves about the power dynamic I'm raising an eyebrow on. 3. Marriage Counselling isn't a bad idea because the real problem is that hubby didn't communicate his terrible, terrible investment strategies and you two don't work together well as a unit. 4. That said you could easily find a better guy by divorcing him. Dude went and gambled on a known volatility in 2k18 without talking with you, most likely because he knew you'd tell him it was a stupid gamble. When you're in that rarefied air of big earners it wouldn't be out of character to say "you're not worthy" and find someone new.

All the au pair stories I've ever heard were about the dad loving or trying to gently caress them, or creepy religious weirdos using them as a captive audience for indoctrination and withholding their pay or passport to try to keep them from going outside
