AITA for "throwing" my career in my in-laws face?quote:I know the title is a little weird but I'll do my best to provide context without too many identifying details, although this situation is quite specific. I [28F] have been with my husband [28M] "Jason" for 8 years, engaged for the last 2. My husband is Korean, and I'm Chinese, although I look ambiguously East Asian and people often think I'm Korean. My surname could also pass for Korean.

AITA My husband wants to take our young children for a month long visit with his family without mequote:I was so shocked when this was even brought up, I thought it was a joke. My husband and I have a 3.5 year old and a 1.5 year old. I work full time and he stays home with the kids and does online school.

Funktastic posted:AITA My husband wants to take our young children for a month long visit with his family without me I read this over twice and I can't figure out why they can't just put the kids in daycare? Like... is there a long waitlist? Or is the husband just being an idiot?

Daycare is ridiculously expensive in some places, which could be part of it? It could also just be "they should be with their family as much as possible", and when the dad is home anyway, the two can probably become conflated. E: nvm he also has a full-time job? I do not get how this works out. Computer viking fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Oct 30, 2021 |

Also I think you overestimate how many people even know who Rowling is. Outside like she wrote the books but I would assume that’s it

My complete speculation is that the guy doesn’t actually want to finish school, and taking care of the kids was a great excuse fo him to continue being a professional student forever while living off his wife’s income. That said, a month for a 3.5 year old would be totally fine for the kid, they’ll be happy and miss you and be glad to be back. The real emotional hardship is on the parent missing their kid, and there’s absolutely no reason a parent, male or female, should feel bad about not wanting to be away from their kids for a month.

Daycare is super expensive so he might be hoping for free daycare from his sister; but I agree that he probably doesn't actually want to get his degree and/or go back to work, since work sucks.

AITA for getting my wife a penis shaped cake? quote:I (34m) was gearing up to celebrate my 10th anniversary with my wife (31f). I had an entire night planned out, like we were going to be trying lobster for the first time. Where the conflict arises was with the cake.

If most of the night was romantic and clearly showed that effort had been put in, a bit of light humor at the end isn't anything to get upset over.

He got the cake days in advance. She peeked. Also "I didn't know how she'd take it" + thinking she was "used" to his humor... You know, generally jokes are to make the other person laugh, not to snicker alone in your corner. If you're going to get a gift for someone, make sure it's THEIR sense of humor not yours. Obviously she overreacted, but it was a dumb plan. Midnight Voyager fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Oct 30, 2021 |

He wants to take a 1.5-year-old baby away for a month. Most parents get nervous leaving a baby that age for a night. She's being bullied into having a terribly stressful month. Why can't sis visit for a week for bonding time, and then a few weeks of daycare?

He wants to take a 1.5-year-old baby away for a month. Most parents get nervous leaving a baby that age for a night. He wants to take a toddler away for a month, to a completely different country. That's a red flag for this thread, usually, that the guy is considering fleeing with the kids and not coming back.

AITA for chopping down the trees in my backyard even though my neighbor liked them and asked me not to?quote:So our new neighbors renovated their backyard around 3 months ago, not long after they moved in. They added a pool, a hammock, a built-in grill, and a bar, they basically made a resort in their own backyard. Our backyard has grass and a bunch of tall palm trees that are right behind their fence. So lately, a few of the dead leaves of our palm trees have been falling into their backyard, which wasn't an issue with the old neighbors, they rarely brought it up and we were always apologetic. bbbbbbut i want to have my cake, AND eat it too!!

I'd think by now it looks fairly antiquated oh also the writer is a massive bigot. i mean harry potter came out 24 years ago, it's not any different from asking why people still watch star wars or read lord of the rings it's also a lot more approachable from a books and movies standpoint than a lot of cultural phenomena because they are, after all, books for children it's much more understandable to see kids doing this (like dressing up in retro 1990s/2000s clothes) than it is seeing college courses that still talk about harry potter outside of something like "hey should we still give her money since she's a terf"

I used to work in a rich gently caress suburb and the QT had a really good wine selection, like, "Oh yeah, I went there when I was in Napa" good. Decent prices too, I still have no idea what was up with that. I assume the franchise owner was a professional lush.
