My mom insisted on changing my name to a hyphenated name when I was like 8. Not out of any equality thing. It's that she assumed I'd want to be a politician and my dad's last name has a sex word in it. So, she said "You'll be momname-dadname at first but then when you're older you'll take off dadname so when you run for office you'll just be momname." But then she never changed it with the SSA, just with the local school system. I guess in the 80s stuff wasn't as connected. So as soon as I graduated I was just my own regular lastname again. I have much more of a connection to my mom's side of the family so I would even consider changing my name to just that. But like, at this point I've got degrees and stuff under dadname. Also if I did run for office I'd absolutely use that sex word as part of my campaign.

As someone who works in admin who has to handle names all the time, the only actual major problems that people naming their kids need to avoid is naming their twins near identical names. Sure, you think naming your kids Alexandria and Alexandra is cute but good loving luck getting their documents correct reliably. Hope your kids never go to the hospital or both apply for the same thing, things can easily get thrown out for being "duplicates" or get switched between them because someone handling the documents later gets it wrong. Also copying this over from the Schadenfreude thread. my team is requiring us to do a diet/exercise/”mental toughness” program quote:We’re back in the office responsibly and safely, and different departments have started team rebuilding exercises to “make up for lost bonding time.” Le barffe. My division lead decided on 75 Hard as our team-building exercise. 75 Hard is a program that includes a diet and exercise regimen and some lifestyle changes and philosophies that are medically unsound and flawed. Also didn’t we just go through a pandemic? Wasn’t that hard enough? update: my team is requiring us to do a diet/exercise/”mental toughness” program quote:

AITA for bringing my own food on a family dinner at my in laws house?quote:I've been with my husband for 4 years and we had an elopement on summer. My in laws are very traditional and they didn't want to invite me to their house for an event or dinner unless we were married. So for 4 years I've never been invited to family dinners, whether it's birthdays, holidays, anything really. I was only allowed to visit for a casual hang out with them but not be part of the "official gatherings". I didn't like that and neither did my husband but they're very traditional. There's been a lot of conflict about this because my husband chose to spend holidays with me for the past 2 years and since my in laws didn't allow me in their house we spent the holidays either with my family or our friends.

WIBTA if I leave my husbands affair baby with my MIL while the rest of us go on vacationquote:My (f38) husband (f58) has a child from an affair he had a couple years ago. I forgave my husband but I can not force myself to see his son as my stepson. The custody arraignment is that my husband has him every other week , Christmas and most Christmas vacation this year, falls on the days that he has him. I have an annual trip that me and few of the other housewives put together for all of families. His ex-mistress, Leah is refusing to take him for just this week I told her she’s being selfish and that she should want to spend Christmas with her son she said that so should my husband . My husband agreed with me so we decided we would drop him and his presents off to my MIL. When Leah found out she was furious she said I’m being selfish I told her she’s the last one to be talking about being selfish and she has so control over what my husband does with the child during the time he has custody of him. My oldest daughter (f18) told me she agrees with Leah and that there’s no reason why he’s being punished for their affair . I told her to stay in a child’s place and that if she keeps this up she’ll be joining him From comments: quote:I made the mistake of looking at OP’s post history. What. A. Mistake.

AITA for not wanting to waste my winter break to go somewhere with my sister?quote:My (15m) sister (13f) got some kind of eye cancer, (not deadly at all at worse she will become blind) But if surgery goes as it’s supposed to she’ll just have pretty horrible eyesight and will need glasses, yet she will temporarily not be able to see after the surgery. We have to go somewhere pretty far for treatment.We’re going to go leave on Christmas and come back the weekend my winter break ends, because of some post operation checkup. I mean going blind isn't that bad, right? Speaking as someone who housesat this summer, and got roped into watching a teenager (admittedly he was 13 not quite 14) I am levels of LMAO at the idea of a 15 year old being left home alone for two weeks. My nephew forgot to close the exterior door to the house, the garage door multiple times, and, as his parents never have made him do chores at all, left dishes and bowls all over the house for the dogs to get into. He was surprised when I left him with chores to do, as in, not leaving his filthy clothes all over the place. Ah, to be a teenager again.

Don't get me wrong, teenagers are by-brain-chemistry gonna be idiots about some things. That can't be helped by anything other than time. But the "not having chores" when the definition of those are "knowing how to and that you NEDD TO do things that won't end you up in this thread" shouldn't be a high bar.
