A lot of scientific fields have incredibly crappy job prospects, particularly if you have an academic focus -- academic research and teaching is a "dream" career with relatively few jobs, especially decent ones. Lots of people with science degrees end up in offices. (I only have my bachelor's, but I moved from biotech to office work because being a lab tech kind of sucks.)

quote:

As for the relevance of kink details, I’ve thought about that as well. My “fiance” doesn’t even really know what Reddit is, and the details aren’t super exciting, so here goes: it’s a vore kink. Not at all gory or with anybody actually being eaten. He just really likes the thought of some poor young attractive girl being cooked against her will. Like, an innocent, gullible person falling for a witches tricks to get her into the pot, for example. He likes cartoons, but no furries. And he likes me to be the “witch” hunting a turkey for a Thanksgiving feast. And I’m supposed to select women - he wants me to pick real women he knows but that makes me uncomfortable so we usually do celebrities. The whole process of picking a plump one for an all out thanksgiving feast of multiple women becoming various dishes (but of course the best most attractive/highly talked about dish is the turkey) really appeals to him. I am never the attractive dinner because he “loves me too much to want to think about me being cooked and eaten”. But occasionally I am the turkey and need to stick out my belly, he’ll squeeze my toes checking for plumpness, poke my cheeks to see how I’m coming along, etc.

No loving actually turkeys or dressing as pilgrims, though those comments did make me laugh.

Hope this helps. It definitely seems ti have helped me a little as I’ve never been able to talk about it with anybody until now.

AITA for not taking my daughter to the movies

quote:

I have a 14 year old daughter who's a massive anime fan. In the beginning of October she asked me if I could take her to see it saying she would pay for her ticket. I told her to remind me. So when opening night came on the Friday before Halloween she asked could we still go. I told her no because it was cold and rainy I told her we could go on Halloween. When Halloween came around we were gonna see it that night my my 3 other kids wanted to go to the preserve for trick or treating. She didn't take it too well. I told her that it just came out and we could see it next Saturday day but turns out I had an over night shift I had to work that night so I told her in Sunday we could go Sunday came around she was excided because it was finally time for her to see it but since that morning I didn't get as much sleep as I planned I told her we could go on thrusday since she was off that day. She kept asking me when we were going but I told her I would take her but her sister didn't wanna go on the weekend (her sister hates anime) almost a mouth went by and my daughter is really made at me she stopped smileling and most of the time stays in her room and doesn't even talk to me any more. I told my daughters that I was going to the movies to see a movie with a friend and my daughter look devastated. She asked when was I gonna take her to the movies I told her I didn't know and with that ask went to her room for the night. The next day it was evening I went to check on her and I saw her laying on her bed on her phone in pitch black darkness. I told her to get over herself and get outta bed the look she gave me made me feel kinda guilty.

Am I the rear end in a top hat?

AITA for sternly telling my wife I get to invite whoever I want whenever I want to my house?

quote:

My wife is a stahm while I work full time. We have 2 kids that I help do %50 of their care while she handles cooking and cleaning and the other %50 of child care as well.

I'm sociable by nature and am fast at making friends wether at work or outside of it. The problem my wife has is that I invite friends and co workers (guests) over every few days to my house for dinner or lunch. Restaurants aren't an option now due to budget. My wife said she has to cook for my guests though I never tell her to cook this or cook that nor ever complain about her choice of meals because it depends. The guests eat whatever she feels like cooking yet she complains that she has to cook for extra people which takes effort and time and also since I sit with the guests then she has to serve them by bringing coffee/preparing the table/etc since I told her I don't do these chores but I thought that since this is her area of responsibilities then where's the problem?.

I invited few guests for Thanksgiving, 6 people and when she found out she lost it saying I should've consulted her first. I said there was no need because they'd just eat whatever she cook no problem but she said she wasn't going to agree to cook large portion and for 6 extra people aside from serving them and handling hosting that is too much for her. I told her she was making a big deal out of it and should just stop freaking out over few extra plates and glasses and whatnot. She said she didn't agree but then I eventually had the guests over and after they left she started yelling at me saying she was not mine and my guests server and that I should stop having them over that is when I told her very sternly that it's my house and I get to invite whoever I want whenever I please and called her unreasonable to react like that instead of being welcoming to the people who wanted to spend time with us unlike her family who cut us off completely but she shouted that she was done with being on my beck and call and having to be forced to take care of my guests in terms of serving and cooking just because it's her part of chors and told me if I want to continue to have guests over then I'll have to step up and cook for them myself which I thought was quite rude and unfair of her. We went back and forth in this argument and she then stopped talking to me and started giving me the silent treatment making me feel like I'd committed some sin by having guests over.

INFO - I just wanted to explain that my wife's main issue isn't about cooking itself but having to cook extra for the guests which is understandable and I tried to compromise by suggesting we set time limits for when my guests visit to avoid having to include them in dinners and whatnot and also suggested we limit the frequency of those visits but she stated she will still have an issue with it and gave me the options of either handling the hosting myself or just completely stop having them over or take them out to restaurants but then restaurants consume money and she was the one who advised against going to restaurants. Also, the reason I said it's my house I meant that it's my house too and not as if it's mine alone or hers alone. My wife has huge part in it and she definitely gets a say in what goes on and what doesn't and we don't usually diasgree except for this issue.

Also this guy is a major rear end in a top hat. Interesting thought process that going to a restaurant is expensive, but catering for six extra adults at a large meal apparently doesn't cost anything - I'd love to know how often he's helped out with the grocery shopping. I'd also love to know how she evaluates his "50/50" split of child raising if he's working a 45 hour week and she's home all the time.

Note that he conveniently doesn't specify *when* he told his wife that six extra people are coming for lunch, so I'd be willing to bet he gave her at best a couple hours' notice. "Hey honey I invited my six best buddies from high school for lunch, you need to cook and clean up everything and I'm not going to lift a finger to help because we'll be busy bullshitting and drinking beer in front of the football, why are you getting so mad?"

This is why I always warn the subsection of my friends who still want to be tradwives/stahm/whatever and let their spouse be the breadwinner-- if you give a spouse financial control, they're going to assume they have total control. Goodwill between parties in a capitalist system does not exist when one party is financially subservient to the other. Hubby is a massive POS, but this is a very expected outcome from anyone who feels like they're "the boss."

I'm still thinking about the fact that this dude's fantasy involves a witch transforming women into various Thanksgiving foods, with an implied hierarchy of dishes depending on how hot(?) the women are, and that he wants this to involve women he knows. You know dude has a spreadsheet somewhere of every female coworker and where they rank on his Thanksgiving Side Dish Scale.

AITA for not wanting my husbands brother to be in the delivery room?

quote:

I’m currently 31 weeks with twins, a boy and a girl. My husband and I are both 21, and were trying for a baby for about a year before we fell pregnant. I’ve had a pretty rough pregnancy, and my brother in law is a medical student, so he’s taken quite a lot of interest in my pregnancy and future delivery. We’ve always gotten on well. He’s 24. I’ve known my husbands family since we were children so we’ve pretty much grown up together.

A few days ago, my husband told me that my BIL had expressed an interest in being there whilst I gave birth, mainly due to it being beneficial from an educational standpoint to see a natural multiples birth, which is what I’m planning for. I know things can change on that front but hoping for that. Also so my husband can have support as I’ll have my mom. Worth mentioning that our hospital doesn’t have a restriction on the amount of people who can be in the delivery room.

I said absolutely not, there is no way in hell I am allowing that. I’m not even overly keen on allowing my husband to watch me go through that, let alone his brother. He said it’d be good experience for him and his degree and I said that as much as I supported him, my experience of having a pleasant birth was my priority. He got defensive and said he should be allowed to have a support person to, which I suppose I do understand, but I really just feel uncomfortable about it all. He said it was just as much his right as it was mine to have someone there to support him. It basically turned into a huge argument, with his brother and mom being dragged into it too. AITA?

AITA for telling my friend “you’re not loving funny” and making her cry?

quote:

I know it sounds bad but hear me out please. First off, I apologized to my friend for saying she’s not funny after the “joke” she made, even though her sense of humor isn’t even joking. I know it sounds like I’m leading up to saying her humor is gonna be racist or something, but no. Her form of joking is interrupting people mid-sentence to say the word “poop”. Nothing else, just literally the word poop being yelled loudly by a 19 year old (aka a literal adult) when someone else is talking.

No one finds it funny except for her. She doesn’t care that it annoys the rest of our friends as she’s been doing it since I met her in 7th grade. We all just kinda ignore it now and haven’t really said anything since she’s really sensitive and gets her feelings hurt very very easily.

However, my dad went to the hospital yesterday and I got the text from my mom while I was with a few of my friends, the poop-yeller included. I was scared for a minute and said I had to go, and when asked what was wrong I explained that my dad went to the hospital- or at least I was trying to, until my friend screamed “poop” at the top of her lungs (presumably since we were outside and it wasn’t that crowded) right after I said the words “my dads in the er” and then started laughing to herself. I looked her dead in the eye and said “you’re not loving funny, stop it” and then left to go to my car to meet my mom and dad at the hospital without saying anything else as I was in a hurry to get there.

After that I got a text from one of the other girls who was with us calling me an rear end in a top hat since I made my friend cry after I left apparently. I did feel bad that she was that upset, so I texted her to apologize but told her that it was a really bad time to be childish. She said she wouldn’t accept my apology unless I admitted that she was actually funny and I refused. Everyone is just telling me to agree but I’m holding my ground as I think she needs to take the hint that her acting that way can only go on for so long. I’ve been accused of taking out my frustration about my dad being in the hospital out on her which I don’t think is true (he’s gonna be fine btw). Her behavior has annoyed me for a long time and this was just my breaking point.

However, I’m wondering if I am the rear end in a top hat since she did cry over it and all of my friends seem to agree that I should just tell her she’s funny so she’ll stop being upset over it. So aita? Was an apology not enough and I should just tell her she was being funny so we can all get past it?

Edit for info: she does not have a learning disability. If she did, after knowing her for years I feel like we would’ve known and I never would’ve yelled at her. She acts differently when she’s at one of our houses (aka around people like others family that she doesn’t know well) and keeps the childish behavior to a minimum at her own house and at school. It’s like a switch she can flip on purpose, but I don’t know why

That "friend" sounds so bloody exhausting to be around, and it's about time someone called her out on it. There's a time and a place, yelling "poop" after being told your friend's dad is in hospital is neither the time nor the place. Plus, the friends telling OP to just say "yes, of course you're hilarious!" are just as bad as poop girl.

And she feels guilty for not indulging his kink?

I mean, it's not like there's a kink that would make this okay. I'm sad that Reddit needs to know the kink before they can judge whether this is okay. But what the gently caress is wrong with people?
