Ouhei posted:I half expected the part where the grandparents and rest of the family coming was going to be the OP just getting kicked more, but them tearing the parents a new one was a nice twist. At first i was like “this is gonna end up with ‘and then everyone stood up and clapped’ kinda bullshit” and i didn’t buy it until they mentioned that the grandparents are bankrolling it all.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for exposing my parents' favoritism From my own experience as the eldest child with a four year younger brother, a lot of the favoritism I noticed was only possible because of the purchasing power upgrade that comes from reducing the household by one. Me loving off to the Army for my college money was the reason they my folks could afford my little brother's. I suppose I was a bit salty about that at 18, but it all worked out in the end!

while that does occur, the OP's case sounds more like the sad by typical occurrence of: one kid was a bit more independent/responsible and one needed more 'help', so the parents would prioritize support on the latter child, which makes sense in a vacuum but what that actually ends up doing is leaving the 'responsible' kid high-and-dry in crises since 'they can take care of themselves' while the gently caress-up got constantly bailed out and seeds resentment with the non-favored child that they're just expected to be able to take care of themselves while for their sibling it's simply understood that they 'can't' and they get saved that's basically what the whole Golden Child dynamic is. One kid gets treated as somehow more delicate and favored over the other 'tougher' child, who is expected to simply buck up and make due since it's seen as in their nature to do so.

AITA for not covering up while feeding in front of my 7 yo?quote:Okay, so hear me out. Little back story. I (27F) and my boyfriend (27M) have been together 5 years. I have a 7 yo son from a past relationship. My boyfriend is incredibly conservative, and before we had our current baby (3mo F) we had a screaming fight about Brady feeding and how he feels any public feeding is inappropriate. Especially when at restaurants. I was livid. I always assumed he would have my back, and once the fog cleared, it seemed he did. Never once had he said anything about how or where I feed until today. I woke up at 6 am, and in a daze Began getting my 7 yo ready for school. I feel it necessary to tell you I sleep with no top or bra, easier to feed on demand. My boyfriend came out and told me to cover up, and that its "inappropriate". I honestly lost it guys. I said that men are the ones who have sexualized my body and there's nothing inappropriate about me feeding my baby. I said I wished he had younger siblings so maybe he would have had that same experience. I reminded him he gets to walk around anywhere he wants with no shirt. Maybe I am the ah? But I think it's kind of weird he's acting like that about something totally not sexual. He even compared it to masturbating in front of him?! Tell me I'm not crazy, lol. My man is super sweet and open minded and conservative, so we have two kids outside of marriage and he doesn't want me to expose my breast when feeding our baby. Kinda surprised he doesn't want blinders on the baby so kid doesn't get weird ideas.

Dude is clearly the one rear end in a top hat in this story, but also I think it's kind of weird to go topless around your seven-year-old My [30s F] with my parents [60s M/F], they have been intrusive and problematic since I had my baby [0,F] quote:So, there is a longer history here than I probably have room for. In short, my parents (mostly my mom) have had some boundary problems with me in the past - specifically things like calling me several times in a row if I don't answer, calling me at work/late at night, using me from an inappropriately young age for emotional support, etc. I have worked on setting up boundaries with them, and have set some explicit rules around things like "Don't call during work hours unless it's an emergency." etc. This will end in estrangement

Unfortunately he got real into weed and booze in conjunction with manifesting bipolar so he totalled his nice truck and my old shitbox on his way to flaming out of college. It's weird how the whole thing managed to engrain an aversion to family help. I can't imagine ever asking them for anything.

Ouhei posted:Stories like this always make me wonder how they got to this kid being 6 before him being a broken logic robot became an issue. Like, that guy has definitely been a piece of poo poo about other stuff like this before now, but he writes it as if his wife was blindsided that he might do this. "Hon, the baby ate his whole bottle!" "Aren't they meant to eat?" "Yeah, we were having lots of trouble with that, remember...?" "I remember thinking it was dumb that a baby wouldn't eat. They're supposed to."

axolotl farmer posted:This broke brained rear end didn't get the memo that humans and other animals respond much better to positive reinforcement than fear of punishment. Don't scold when they do something wrong, encourage them when they do something right. So did at least one entire generation of parents, if a few threads are any indication. Like, shitloads of people seem to have never received any regular positive reinforcement at any formative stages. Hell, you're lucky if they actually try to teach you anything rather than just yell at you for doing things wrong and refuse to explain them because 'you should know this by now'.

Sharing this one just for the typo: WIBTA if I ask my boyfriend to pay more rent because he broke an agreement? quote:My boyfriend (26m) and I (29f) have been together for 4 years. We have been living together for a year and a half. Because I make more than double what he does, we made the agreement that I would pay $1200 in rent, and he would only pay $400. To make up for this he would do all the cooking since I enjoyed his cocking. I do other chores in the house, but he has done all the cooking- he makes breakfast, packs lunch and cooked dinner he never complained about it

Rescue Toaster posted:Yeah it's not about fawning over them for doing the chore itself. It's about the developmental step of remembering and showing initiative and not needing to be explicitly told to do something. And that part is worth rewarding/reinforcing. AITA for saying I prefer sushi to children? quote:Okay so straight to it. My husband and I (both in our early 30s) have been together for over a decade and made the decision to not have kids. I like kids, I have nieces and nephews, we just don't want them for our own reasons. He had a vasectomy which only a few people know about. Our families are aware we don't want kids as they've asked this before during different major life events (our wedding for instance).

Arsenic Lupin posted:AITA for saying I prefer sushi to children? I actually ate a TON of sushi during my pregnancy because you can eat certain kinds of sushi while pregnant. Obviously not anything that would be dangerous to the baby though. I was really sick the whole time and it was one of the few foods I could manage to keep down. That said it's no one else's business whether they do or don't want or have kids so NTA for being driven to have to come up with excuses like this. People need to butt out. Also someone else's decision to get fixed or live childfree is not a referendum or comment on your own decision to go through with a difficult pregnancy process etc etc.

Yeah, I was self-aware for it. Got dark in my head real quick. You just gotta practice! You also have to keep in mind what a huge door-opener potty training is. Like, imagine how you would feel if your child has a medical condition that meant they had to wear diapers their whole life. That's not the case! Your child can live a normal life wearing regular clothes! You'll be able to stop carrying diapers pretty soon! Reminds me of our first ultrasound with our first. The tech did a cross-section of the baby's head and the tech is like "well, the baby has a brain" and I was like nice. Tech was kinda puzzled until I explained "hey, some babies don't, right? You need a brain, I'm really happy my kid has one."
