I don't understand why you would move someone's box of tampons away from the storage area near the bathroom and to the bedroom. I would probably be pretty pissy if someone moved my menstrual products into my nightstand because why the gently caress would they go there.

I mean maybe, but the OP is himself an idiot if he thinks not knowing trivia type knowledge like state capitals is a sign of mental slowness rather than lack of exposure to that information.

Pretty sure its in the bible somewhere that I, a man, should never in any circumstance be forced to consider the very concept of menstruation.

Also, with the covid shutdowns I'm teaching 2nd graders who missed the last half of their kindergarten and haven't been back to school since. So maybe the kid just needs some remedial work.

AITA for firing my babysitter?quote:I have a babysitter who is 17, to look after my kids, triplets (5 months) and my daughter (10), recently I discovered that she has been taking the kids out for walks, but she didn't let me know before doing it, but I didn't ask her not to.

Invisible Clergy posted:AITA for refusing to use bleach in the bathroom even though I’m allergic? LOL this probably isn’t an allergy but rather a sensitivity caused by using straight bleach. You gotta dilute that poo poo. 3 tablespoons of household bleach (5.25-6.25% strength bleach) per gallon of water. Also wear some rubber gloves that cover your forearms. Invisible Clergy posted:I had read "it's not like he is pulling her wheel chair around" to communicate that the sister does not use a wheelchair. It’s pretty rare for a seafood allergy to be severe enough that the smell alone triggers it. Like all people with such severe allergies that they are incompatible with living in society, OP should go live in the forest separated from humanity.

It’s first grade or second grade is they are one of the younger kids in the class. My 8 year old is in 1st grade and missed half of pre-k and did all of kindergarten remote. We are actually getting an ADHD diagnosis for him right now because stuff wasn’t caught due to not being in school, but having a little trouble with spelling and not knowing state capitals is age appropriate for an 8 year old.

Girlfriend of 5 years lied about being in the Navy.quote:Since 2017 I've been dating this girl, who when we first started dating told me she was in the Navy.

I wouldn't expect an average 3rd grader to rattle off state capitals off the top of their head but I would generally expect them to be able to tell states from cities (especially Florida, which every 8 year old boy should recognize as the floppy dong state and not a city in Michigan.) It probably doesn't point to anything particularly serious, but kid definitely needs some extra help that he's not getting and the OP isn't equipped to provide. edit: on the other hand it's entirely possible the kid has pegged OP as a giant goober and is deliberately winding him up, too

Apparently it's quite normal here because of how pedestrian-hostile this country is. It isn't just about car culture. Like, I had my kids on leashes in the mall, because those little buggers are both fast and fearless. And one of our malls had gaps between the balusters that a toddler could squeeze through.

Arsenic Lupin posted:When I took my first-born to her 1-year checkup, the pediatrician looked us dead in the eyes, and said "For the next two years, your job is suicide prevention." A thing I find absolutely mind-boggling is how many parents in my area will take multiple really little kids out on scooters for walks beside a fairly busy road. I'm not a parent, but giving your toddler a vehicle which lets them easily outpace you seems like a really terrible idea.

Most nights he stays up till 12-2 am playing videogames after doing his homework and often uses the ferry time to watch video game youtube videos instead of doing homework.

I'm not a parent, but giving your toddler a vehicle which lets them easily outpace you seems like a really terrible idea. A lot of kids, I'd say even the majority, are pretty chill and good at following the rules. Growing up we had some extended family who had just incredibly out of control kids, like they would run away down the street into traffic if they could, they'd grab and smash anything they could get their hands on, absolute terrors. I don't know if was lovely parenting or an actual developmental problem with the kids. But either way, the parents just assumed all kids were like that and were always absolutely shocked and judgemental of my parents for letting me and my friends roam around the neighbourhood unsupervised and generally trust us to not destroy things or hurt ourselves. I see the "parent on foot while child is on scooter/bike" quite often, the kids just have rules like "you can go as fast as you want but always wait at the next cross street" and the kids follow the rule.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:This example is extreme, but WFH makes for some interesting household breakdown of labor questions. Assuming no children, All of this is easy when you don't have a transactional/roommates type of relationship. I'm not sure I've ever had more than a passing conversation about who needs to do what or officially long term assigning "chores" between us over the course of a multiple decade relationship where many life circumstances have changed for each of us individually and both of us together. It's just never been necessary......we just....get things that need to be done done. If somebody wants something done and doesn't have the time or motivation we just.....ask the other one if they would mind doing it? We may be doing it wrong. I should probably have a ledger where we assign points to things so we can tell who's being wronged. But.....seems to work for us just fine.
