My boyfriend has diarrhea and refuses to poop in my toilet, what do I do?!quote:First of all, I [19F] love him [19M] to death. And we've been together long enough that discussions of being sick and gross aren't really an issue. So when he says his stomach is hurting and that he probably has diarrhea, I told him to go sit on the toilet. He refuses, saying he "doesn't want to stink up my toilet." I don't care about that: I would rather him let it out and feel better afterwards. How do I make him poop?

You just have to ignore people like that. Either they will feed themselves or they won’t. Give them a couple addresses for local places they might eat at and call it a day.

Picky eating can absolutely be solved when you stop enabling it. Parents need to let their kids go hungry from time to time when they refuse to try new things or they'll grow up to be english people. Or their family can just eat their own poo poo if it's the only food they can reliably get.

I'm not a wise man but I simply don't understand not using salt in your cooking. You might as well be eating cardboard.

This is an interesting read but how does one come to regard what must be wildly disgusting mush as “non challenging.” I would find that very challenging to eat; in fact I believe those are the basic ingredients for a homemade dog food.

It would probably be completely bland. Carrots, peas, and roast beef cooked until as much flavor and texture is sapped from it. It's basically one step up from eating white bread and rice for every meal.

Apparently for a very long time England had quite renown cuisine due to high quality ingredients and a colonial empire that brought more and more exotic spices and culture. Two world wars though basically hosed up an entire generation and broke enough inter-generational knowledge and taste. It's extremely hard to re-build a culture or tradition after it's been destroyed. But those people posted are extreme even for england. That's the sort of picky eating that comes from child-abuse levels of picky-eating enabling.

A lot of the food was perfectly fine, if dull to eat 5 years in a row.

If he had been honest, it wouldn't have been an issue, but it tanked whatever we may have had and he STILL thought I wronged him.

Typical teenage stupidity from purported adults: Dealing with nudes to and from exes quote:My (33m) gf (26f) and I have been together for about 1 year. We've had some issues compromising on how much of our past relationships is acceptable to drag along into ours. Most recently, I asked her to delete any nudes from her exes or that she had taken for her exes and she agreed and asked that I do the same.

AITA for raining on my cousin's parade regarding the name she picked out for her baby? My cousin Stephanie and I are really more friends than relatives. An important note is that she's not really online much, so can be out of the loop on certain memes and jokes in internet culture, and tbh, doesn't really understand the concept of viral internet references or how they work. Stephanie is pregnant and just found out it's going to be a girl. About a week ago, she told a gathering of her best girlfriends that she's going to name her daughter Karen. The room instantly went cold, but after an awkward silence, everyone else politely said it was lovely. I couldn't bring myself to respond at all. Later in the evening, when Stephanie was out of the room, everyone was immediately like, "OMG, that poor kid," and "why would she pick Karen of all names?!" I was uncomfortable with this conversation, given that everyone had been so positive about the name to her face. I thought more about it over the next couple of days, and just felt really weird about the whole thing. The name is really loaded, to the point it could be detrimental to the baby, and Stephanie had no idea of the connotations to make an informed decision. So a couple of days later, I tentatively brought it up. I told her I was so excited for the baby, and just wanted her to have all available information when picking a name. I then started to explain that Karen has some negative connotations and has become sort of an internet joke to describe a specific kind of entitled middle aged woman. Stephanie instantly was furious and started talking over me, saying, "why are you saying this?! This is so mean!!" I was really surprised by her reaction (it felt very, very out of character), so I immediately stopped and said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just wanted to tell you something I thought you might not know." She replied, "That's the name I picked for my daughter. And you think I picked it as some kind of joke?! I don't understand why you'd say something so hurtful." When she said that, I felt like it signaled that she didn't really understand what I was trying to tell her, so after agonizing for a second about whether to press the issue even though she was so angry, I felt like in for a penny, in for a pound, and since she was already mad, I wanted her to at least understand what I was trying to explain to her. I googled "Karen know your meme" on my phone and tried to show her the screen of results while saying, "look, I'm just saying that there's more meaning to the name than you may realize." She stood up, pushed my phone away, and shouted, "Wow!!" She then stormed out of my home and drove away. My aunt and mom have been berating me all week, because Stephanie told them that I made fun of her baby name. Stephanie has not spoken to me or responded to my texts since. I can take a hint, and I'm not going to broach a topic again that caused so much distress, but I keep going back and forth on whether I was TA here by bringing it up in the first place. Edit: Thanks, everyone! I have been properly schooled, and I accept my judgement that I was TA here. Stephanie and I have a history of being extremely open and honest with each other (I was the maid of honor in her wedding, which we planned on being the case from a young age, and we always joked as teenagers that part of my duties would include talking her out of the marriage if the groom she picked sucked), and so maybe I was too flippant with approaching this topic due to our history, and was unempathetic in underestimating how much she was already invested in the name she chose for her future daughter. I admit I'm a bit frustrated that Stephanie still doesn't understand what I was trying to tell her (she still thinks I was making some kind of weird, cruel joke accusing her of picking the name as a joke), but I have messaged her a sincere apology that she accepted, and I will never speak of this again, to Stephanie or Baby Karen. I'll also stand up for Stephanie if her other friends poo poo talk the name around me again. If they're not willing to voice their thoughts to Stephanie directly, they need to not say the kinds of things they were saying behind her back. Edit 2: One more thing: I definitely was not trying to tell Stephanie to not name her daughter Karen. I just wanted her to make the decision either way knowing the connotations, since I'd want someone to do the same for me if I picked a baby name with cultural baggage I wasn't aware of. I realize now I handled it poorly and was hurtful to Stephanie in the process, but I just wanted to be clear that I wasn't actively trying to talk her out of the name. I just didn't want her to be blindsided if it came up later.

AITA for telling my friend that I think her daughter's name is silly? I have this friend, lets call her Wara. She's an awesome friend but is slightly odd. She reminds me a lot of Amy from big bang theory because of the way she dresses. She had a daughter 4 years ago whom she named Waro. When she told me the name she was giving her child, I immediately thought it sounded awful. I asked her where the name came from, if its a name from her country, she said no, she just made it up. So my reply was "well that's very creative!". And left it at that. Now I am having a baby soon and she asked me about what the name will be. I told her its going to be Anthony since I just like popular old school english/american names. And this is a name I liked since I was a girl. She gave me a look and said "I'm sorry but i dont like that name, it sounds so ugly! How about xxxx instead?" While showing me a book on baby names. I got super annoyed at how she put it that I blurted "well, I'm not gonna take advice from someone who gave their kid a silly name" She was stunned and asked me why did I say that. I told her, I was never a fan of her kid's name but I wasn't insensitive enough to say it. She said I am being insensitive now. So i replied "yeah well suck it up, you shouldn't have said Anthony is an ugly name since that is what my child will be called". She left shortly after and I got a text saying that she is thinking about reevaluating our friendship. Edit: I'm not contemplating on the name Anthony. His name has already been decided long ago and it is Anthony. He just hasn't come out of me yet although it will be any day now. So I don't understand where all the "potential" name comments are coming from since I posted that his name is "going to be anthony". Yall make it sound like her kid is the only one that is existing and mine is some fantasy child who isn't alive yet.
