quantumwell posted:"Still thinking of the 19 year old stepdad trying to ground the 21 year old.." I don't think that I could dig it up, it was from early in the last thread written from the 'step fathers' point of view. The age difference came out in a comment and the whole thing seemed like some kink-play. I don't remember enough keywords to find it though. I searched the old thread and closest I could find was a reference to it in April 2020: quote:Almost as fun as “my older stepson won’t call me dad.” And that context is worth a repost. AITA for clearing out my ex-boyfriend’s childhood room in the home where he grew up? quote:I moved in with my significant other of 2 years after my pay was reduced in February due to everything that’s been happening and it didn’t make financial sense for me to live in my own apartment anymore. My SO asked me to move in with him so I took up his offer. My SO is my ex-bf’s dad, and I’m now living in the home where my ex-bf grew up.

Not that long ago we also had this post:Cowslips Warren posted:AITA for banning my husband's daughter from our house after she gifted him 5 home paternity tests because she thinks our kids are not his? In which the stepmom's difference in age to the OP really should not be glossed over.

AITA for keeping a big secret from my SIL?quote:My daughter and SIL have been struggling to conceive since they married over 5 years ago. My SIL recently asked me for advice, as he’s desperate for children, but this would involve divulging my daughter’s private medical information. Ouuuuch. I am torn between the big red button that says NEVER OUT ANYBODY and the one that says HE NEEDS TO KNOW . In comments, it comes out that (of course) his homeschooling involved no sexual education at all, so he wouldn't ping on "why my wife no periods".

Yeah there's an out for the daughter which is "I'm infertile. Can't have children of my own" and it's unclear why she wouldn't just take that route rather than go through a 5 year charade of pretending to try to concieve.

I mean, there'd probably be follow-up questions, suggestions for fertility treatment, maybe a visit to a midwestern family doctor or even a snooping cousin illegally accessing her medical information; I can see why she'd take zero chances when it comes to her insane chud family. Not marrying into an insane chud family in the first place would be the good call here, and I don't see an out at this point that isn't divorce without either seriously jeopardizing her own safety or lying to her husband for the rest of his life.

I'm not an authority on the topic but "begin my daughter’s medical transition before she ever started male puberty" raised a red flag as well. As I understand it, the most that any doctor will do for a child is puberty blockers until legal adulthood. "The day after she graduated high school, we flew to Thailand for her sex confirmation surgery" Yeah, the timeline here is troublesome. This is just what I've picked up from hearing people who have lived experiences transitioning so I could easily be wrong, but I don't think so.

AITA for paying for my dogs surgery but not my mothers?quote:I (f23) was raised by 2 parents who believe that being a parent ends once the child turns 18. The moment I turned 18 I was forced to pay rent and for all other costs associated with my survival if you will. I ended up moving out until I graduated high school and moved in my college dorm. Me and my parents have monthly contact but nothing deep or below surface level. mum can get a loan, the dog can't

As I understand it, the most that any doctor will do for a child is puberty blockers until legal adulthood. That's not true. If they already have a documented history of dysphoria there's not really a reason to wait. Puberty blockers are to give time for the assessment to take place. Though, you don't get to entirely skip natal puberty, as the standard is to wait until tanner stage 2 before intervention. I would also consider starting blockers young enough and going on to hrt to be medically transitioning without experiencing male puberty. Surgery is the thing that has an age limit associated with it, but exceptions can be made in cases of extreme distress.

Inceltown posted:That feels like anti trans bait. Trapping the good mid Western Christian boy. Yeah I was gonna post this one but it felt way too....perfect in that bad way. Also kept reading SIL as sister in law not son in law so it was hard to keep track in my head. Here's a cleanser. AITA for considering my husband's bathroom time to be part of his free time? quote:So my husband has really bad IBS, has had it his whole life, we've gone to docs and stuff but things don't seem to work. He spends at least 3 hours a day pooping (he's not doing other stuff of this I'm sure). We both work full time jobs and recently got in a fight about how he doesn't feel like he has time for housework and chores. I pointed out that if he didn't spend 3 hours in the bathroom he would have time for both the chores and whatever hobbies he wanted to do but he got mad and said he shouldn't be penalized with his free time because of a medical condition. I told him I was at least doing hoursore of stuff than him per week because he never had any time after work to do them with his extra breaks. I may be the AH in this situation because I think he should not get the same amount of "freetime". I understand medical conditions (I have the opposite IBS and only go twice a week which is great cause I'm not wasting any bathroom time :P) but I feel like the time he should put the chores/being an adult first over his fun time even though there may be fewer hours in the day due to the bathroom breaks.

"All American" is one of the most overt white supremacist ornaments that still sits around openly in Americana and I loving hate it. Like "golly nothing is more American than blonde blue eyed northwestern protestant ancestry that really shines out!". That's the red flag for me right there. Mx. posted:it really does. Meanwhile gently caress this lady so hard.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Hey, do it properly. Gods, this reminds me of a time in highschool. A girl I had a crush on made me a mix CD and gave it to me with a handmade card. I actually had no CD player at all, beyond the big one belonging to my parents and on the family computer in the living room. I was not gonna let my dad hear me listening to Ani Difranco and other such Lilith Fair sort of things because I was a teenage boy and needed to present a solid front of proper straight masculinity. She was actually aware I didn't even have a CD player and just told me to use it on my computer when I'm alone and thinking of her. Not having a chance to put it on for a few days, I put it in my desk and kind of forgot about it. The next week at school the girl asks me what I thought of the CD. I just said how it was 'pretty cool, but not my usual sort of thing'. She seemed kind of put-off, and from then on stopped flirting with me. Her friends all kind of froze me out and gave me looks for awhile, and we basically stopped hanging out. It wasn't until a few years later after graduation when I was desperately rummaging for re-writeable CDs I found it and popped it in, and it was full of nudes of her holding hand-made signs asking me out. I was told much later by her friends that she had a crush on me for ages and this was her final last effort to get through to my dense idiot teenage brain, and even still I totally missed it. Even now 20 years later I still sometimes cringe thinking of how much of a moron I was (am).

AITA for putting up pictures of spiders in my room to keep my arachnophobic cousins out?quote:My (17f) twin cousins (8m) have been staying with us for the last week while their parents are getting their house renovated. They’re insanely mischievous. They keep running into my room, upending everything, throwing all my stuff everywhere, trying different passwords to unlock my desktop. If I latch the door, they’ll bang at it until I let them in. Every time I or their parents yell at them, they get more amused. I discovered they’re both arachnophobic. So I printed out massive spider posters for each of my walls, my floor, cupboard, the side of my bed and my door. Now they cry every time they see them and can’t enter the room without looking at one. I removed the one from my door when their parents complained but I’m keeping the ones in my room up to keep them out. Their parents are ok with that but the boys keep begging me to get rid of them and my own parents are telling me I’m being cruel.
