Is using condiments freely really this contentious or is it because I have the gall to post words about it?

This is the same forum that mocks people for not using spice so I'm guessing it's you like to be contrary so whatever

I (21f) set a boundary with my bf (31m) last night. I have been very anxious about it and have put thought into it. I have been around my bfs child (2) since before he could walk. However my bf’s mom, baby mama, and baby mamas mama, have no knowledge of me even existing. He says it’s less “drama”. Last night I set a boundary with him that if he doesn’t at least tell his baby’s mother about me, I will not be interacting with the child because I am not comfortable with it. The child can not speak yet but sooner or later the child will tell on his father that I’m in his life. And it’s not a scenario I’m comfortable with and it seems messy. I’d rather just keep a respectful distance and quit the step mom role. He seems very bothered by this. But I feel disrespected that I’ve been talking about this for months and he keeps blowing it off. AITA?

In my last job my boss made me cry about once a week and the first time someone found me crying in a corner they told me it was pretty standard for that manager to make people cry. I somehow stuck it out over three years because I didn't think I deserved better

quote:

I live in a condo, and on my floor there are 4 houses. 3 of the houses, including my own has girls of around the ages of 6-7 living in them. Naturally, all fo them became friends and they now run between the houses with a few other girl friends from the condo. We often leave our doors open for the girls to run freely between the houses.

One of the houses has a 17 year old son as well. He's always been short with the girls, because he "doesn't like kids". He doesn't bully them or anything, but anytime any of the girls disturbs him or makes noise which he doesn't like, he sends them to another house.

Recently, the girls were all playing, running in between the houses for a game of hide and seek. He comes home from school, and he starts watching tv. The tv in their house is situated right outside the door, and in the main living room, and it's a massive tv, so the girls will have to see it when they enter the house.

This in and of itself is fine, but the issue is that he starting watching Game of Thrones. His parents are fine with him watching, even though I feel he is way too young to watch that disgusting show. I think you can see where this is going. These 6-7 year old girls walk in, and see a brutally gory scene from the show. They're looking at this scene, and my daughter immediately runs back to me crying.

I hear about the horrors she's just seen and I storm over to their house, and immediately start screaming at this absolutely inconsiderate boy. I'm yelling at him that he shouldn't be watching such things when they can be seen by children. It's common loving sense and he, as a 17 year old boy who's apparently mature enough to watch a porn show violence, and politics, should know.

He told his parents, who told my husband, who thinks that me yelling at him was not my right nor my place. I feel completely in the right, but I am willing to take my husband's opinion into consideration

AITA?

Ah, the broader sense of Nazi. I didn't know if that had a non-Nazi meaning in Russian historical context. Though I guess now that I read it, it doesn't mean in the past.

My parents and I moved to a new town from a city. I have started dating a girl from my soccer team, I'm also a girl

I found out that my neighbors have cameras looking outside their house to the street and mini park, when my mom said that one of the neighbors had sent her a picture of me and my girlfriend at the park at 6pm, kinda pettily hinting that I should not be outside there at night. It felt so creepy the neighbor did that and it also felt weird that I know he never does that to my straight friends who hang out there, even much later

Even though my parents know I'm a lesbian many peoples parents might not know or accept that and he could get someone hurt

Anyway, a few days later, I was going to help my friend from school replace the shifters on her bike.

A different neighbor of mine sent a picture to my mom of me coming down the street on a bicycle too big for me, commenting that this was not my bike, Seeming to imply I stole it?

Anyway I was starting to get really creeped out.

I'm in this neighborhood watch Facebook group that most of the parents on the block are in, I've never posted there before.

But this time I took the pictures my mom had got of me and made a post;

"Hey neighbors! I'm OP, I go to (school) and I'm a junior! I've been noticing a local safety concern I wanted to make you aware of. Several times in the last few weeks, I've been filmed on the street or in the public park, by strangers. I'm 16 and so is my partner and we were very creeped out and uncomfortable to know we are being recorded in a private romantic moment when we thought we were alone. Another time, someone took this picture when I was biking home alone in the evening. I know this sounds crazy, but I'm serious, see the pictures here. Please take care if you have younger children or even are going out alone as a woman."

I didn't know what to expect but it really blew up, some parents saw it as creepy that someone was taking that kinda photo, but then the wife of the man who took a photo of my girlfriend and I commented. She was saying that her husband only took the photo because he wanted to check with my parents about me being out past dark.

I said it was 6pm, and that I knew her husband wasn't taking pictures of the many straight couples I know, mentioning a few friends I'd checked with, and her husband was acting differently towards taking pictures of lesbians.

She sent me a angry reply accusing me of calling her husband a pervert.

Now this is where I may of hosed up, I said "I'm not trying to call him a pervert, I'm trying to call him a bigot"

She got mad enough to call my mom who sent her to voicemail but the post also blew up with arguments.

A lot of people were saying stuff like it's not cool to take pictures of minors without their parents knowing, some were defending the picture taking

AITA for posting that on Facebook?

I will preface this with the fact that I am super insecure and sensitive. I am well aware that I may be hurt for no reason but I just feel so bad about this I need outside opinion.

So 11 days ago I started feeling pain in the back of my mouth. I've noticed for a while now that my wisdom tooth has started to poke out from my gums and have been brushing hard, but it wasn't enough. The pain started and I just assumed it was coming out more. I had 2 final exams to worry about and I work full time so it wasn't my priority. The pain got worse, but I endured it. I told my coworkers that my wisdom tooth was coming out and I was in pain but I kept smiling and acting as normal as I could. I warned everyone that I was trying to find a dentist appointment but I was working so much I knew I couldn't get an apointment that week. I did my exams in pain and I am quite impressed by myself for that feat.

I planned on getting an emergency dentist apointment on Saturday. But the day before my coworker asked me of I could take her shift (for very good reasons) so I took her shift and decided to take an apointment on my next day off (yesterday). Unfortunately for me there was no place available yesterday but I got an a spot this morning. I was supposed to work this morning so I made plans with my coworker to switch place. She would do the morning and if I didn't needed surgery, I would do the evening. My boss was made aware of this plan and I told her about the possibility of the surgery but maybe I wasn't clear enough that if a surgery was needed I would do it ASAP to get rid of the problem.

So I got to my appointment this morning and lo and behold I needed surgery. Technically I needed to get all 4 wisdom tooth removes as all of them were at risk of causing the same problem once they came out, my mouth is just too small and they can't come out fully. But I CHOSE to only get the one that was causing me pain because had I removed all 4 I would not have been able to work for a lot more than just two days.

Now a but of info about my work : we are currently extremely understaffed. We are 3 people doing the job of 5. We are overworked and al of us are on the verge of a meltdown. Them more than me because they've been working there the longest, I'm still fairly new. The only garantied day off we get in on sundays since we are closed. But there is no garantied we get 2 days off in a row. I knew getting the surgery would mean AT LEAST one day off. I am a receptionnist, my job is to talk to clients on the phone and answer clients that come in. I talk all day. Some evenings my throat gets sore from talking so much. Currently everything hurts. Sneezing, laughing, talking, smiling just breathing to hard hurts. So obviously I was given today and tomorrow off of work. But this made my coworkers very frustrated maybe angry even, I dont know. But I've got some pretty passive agressive comments from them and it makes me feel like trash for getting the surgery done...

Some examples of comments:

After posting a picture of me with a gauze in my mouth after getting home from the surgery, I got a message saying "now is probably not the right time, not that I say it in a mean way". I then appologized and removed the picture realizing it was maybe insensitive to rub in their face the reason why they were both working extra. She then continued saying "it's super hard at work right now. I don't have a day off until next friday. Jaz (fake name of another coworker) is on the verge of exploding We just wish it could have been another day, or at least planned and not last minute like this, that's all. Now we have to cancel some of our plans! But oh well..."

The other coworker told me before I made my decision for surgery "but if you have your surgery you wont be able to come in this evening and possibly for the rest of the week?!"

I do feel they are justified in being angry, but it's also unfair of them to make me feel bad. I didn't pay 400$ to get a tooth cracked in 4 and removed piece by piece for fun and to get a couple of days off. I would have much prefered to come to work instead... What if I had appendicitis? Would they be mad and making such comments? I know appendicitis is worse and deadly if untreated, I had it at 10 years old. I'm just... Hurt by their comments and the fact they are trying to make me feel bad. The only other appointment I could have gotten to get my tooth extracted would have been the following week. Meaning going another week in pain like last week... Am I really the rear end in a top hat for choosing to get surgery even if I knew this meant my coworkers would have to work more?

I get this isn't a huge issue but it does really hamper things. My SO and I have been together 4 years. He has great hygiene and is actually extremely obsessive when it comes to it. However, I noticed in the past few months or so, probably closer to a year, that he really smells when we're in bed for the night. To sleep, not have sex. When we get in to when we wake up. All night he smells. It's mostly his breath but it might be body, too. He doesn't smell at all during the day besides after eating onions or something or working out. For whatever reason, when we get into bed at night he just stinks. It's his general smell, not just coming from his mouth. It just smells very, very sour. It's difficult to explain. I don't understand this because he showers right before bed and brushes his teeth. He even puts on deodorant before getting in. He has an extensive routine! He flosses, brushes, uses a tongue scraper, and gargles using mouthwash. He uses a good soap to shower with, too.

I tried approaching this with him twice. I told him "I am not trying to hurt your feelings but I noticed that you have a weird odor when we're sleeping". He became really annoyed saying that I don't smell like flowers either. I'm not saying I do! However, I don't think he quite understands that it seems like an issue. Like a health issue? I don't know. He does have some "back-ne" or acne on his back but I don't see how that would cause this. When he gets up and goes down for breakfast, it's gone and he doesn't even change. The sheets are clean. I wash them once a week. I don't know how to approach this again. I've been using pillows to kind of block away the smell and that works okay. I want to help him figure this out but I guess he doesn't want to fix it.

TLDR Boyfriend smells only when we're in bed for the night. He gets offended when I try to talk to him about it.
