AITA for telling my girlfriend she would look cuter again if she lost the weight she'd gained over time?

Isn't Asian girls having to be tiny and thin part of the oversexualization of Asian women? I kind of want races and ages because I want to be proven wrong about my assumptions.

Also that woman is not fat and if anything is healthier at that weight.

AITA for expecting my husband to pay for the tools my daughter used for the handmade necklace he threw out.

quote:

My husband and I have disagreements from time to time. Nothing major just normal stuff.

He has a habit of throwing out something of mine as a way to "teach me a lesson" whenever he's upset with me after an argument. This time he threw out the handmade necklace my daughter (13) made for me herself on mother's day. The argument was about him wanting to hang out with his buddies on the day of my mom's surgery (I wanted him to stay home and be with our daughter but he refused). Yesterday I found out he threw out the necklace and after he admitted to what he did, I went off on him and also told him that this necklace was special to me and that my daughter spent so much time and effort to make it. She comforted me then told me she'd make an identical one for me if I buy her the tools, I went to my husband and told him I was expecting H.I.M to cough up the money to pay for thr tools so my daughter could make me a similar necklace. He laughed and said that I was delusional to expect him to pay when I haven't even apologized for my "part" of the argument but I felt like I had nothing to apologize for and that yes, he should stay home for a family emergency. He said "why don't you have one of your friends come stay with Chloe? Oh yes you don't have any!" This pissed me off but he said he wouldn't pay but I told him that our daughter knew what he did which set him off saying I was trying to turn our daughter against him and brainwash her into thinking he's the bad guy in this scenario.

I told him I'm still expecting him to pay but now he's saying that I'm ganging up on him with our daughter

It's way complicated. The pressure to be thin is absolutely present within Asian and South Asian cultures, and in particular Korean and Japanese cultures. It isn't as simple as "white people oversexualize Asian women". However, do white people also oversexualize Asian and South Asian women? Absolutely.

I don't think that's exclusive to a specific race. There's many people calling underage Black girls 'grown' and 'fast' just because they hit puberty early and now have fatty tissue sprouting on their underage chests and other extra padding. That's just misogyny with racism, fetishization, and fatphobia dumped on top, on part of that reddit op. poo poo's a complicated mess of hatefulness.

Edit for content, another one of those "I had an affair and got the other woman pregnant and now I expect you to parent the kid"

AITA for refusing to let my ex’s kid come with us to Disney?

quote:

Alright, so I have a son(13M) with my ex husband. We got divorced because he was having a emotional affair which turned physical, and had a kid with the AP, and is a single dad atm as the AP left.

My son goes over to his house on weekends, and sometimes his kid comes over to my house because my son and him are somewhat friends, and I don’t really mind.

The problem now is that I’m planning on taking me and my son to Disney as I’ve been saving it up for him as I believe he should go there at least once in his life to experience it, as well as him having good grades for the whole semester.

I believe that my son must’ve told his half brother, as my ex husband called me and asked me what day I’m planning to leave and am I driving or him. I was confused initially, but I realized what he was talking about, and told him that it was just gonna be a trip for me and my son.

He started to get mad and accused me of favoring my son over his half sibling and trying to be petty for his past actions, and such, and told me I should at least offered for his son to go too.

I told him no, as I wasn’t gonna pay for another plane ticket and other supplies, and that if his son wanted to go, he needed to pay for himself, I hanged up before he could say anything else.

Now my son says that his dad was ‘disappointed’ about my decision and to go try to ‘change my mind’ so his half sibling could have fun too and some other remarks.

My ex and a few of my friends who heard about the situation say I’m TA for not letting his brother go on the trip as well and that I’m being selfish and petty, so I’m starting to reconsider everything and just relenting, so I wanted a outside opinion.

AITA?

Bradford/callery pears aren't fruit trees. They're ornamentals. They were wildly trendy for decades, but the modern consensus is that they aren't good public trees. They have a tendency to split and drop branches, and they stink. Bradford pears are actually a sterile (don't bear fruit) cultivar of callery pears. Callery pears are indeed invasive and crowd out native plants.

Yeah, I'm torn on that one, because gently caress THOSE TREES. We used to have dogwoods naturally. Now we have those fuckers because they crowded out the dogwoods. Look down the woods during the right time of year, see white, know that's one of those loving trees obliterating the local environment. There's state bans on planting new ones now.

Fun fact, those loving sterile plants can still cross-pollinate and cause a new Callery that's also invasive as hell. They're the devil and they should be murdered the second they are seen.

That's the reverse of what I said. I said "white people also oversexualize", meaning that white people aren't the only ones, as discussed in the previous sentence.

Estranged mom

quote:

My DH and I have had a similar response which, in light of the severe action taken on our ED’s part, seems grossly unwarranted. With some adult children today it’s as if the threshold for conflict (and I mean ANY conflict) has been lowered to levels that no family can withstand. We talk about the punishments and consequences we received as kids and teens, knowing how easy we were on our kids, and just shake our heads. Never would we have even considered the occasional yelling, unpleasant conversations, groundings, and other run-of-the-mill butting of heads in our household to be worthy of outright banishment of our family!

Without getting into details, my sibs and I had to go before the Grand Jury to testify against our father when he got in hot water. There was also alcoholism and infidelity to cope with, a teen pregnancy, brief period of stark poverty and an assortment of other real life circumstances we had to live with. We survived it all and stuck together despite everything. No one declared our family “toxic.” Everyone handles life’s pitfalls differently but to abandon your immediate family because of ordinary conflict and the many mistakes that are human is something we of our generation aren’t wired to understand. I knew my parents loved me and I still love them, warts and all.

What are the odds that the hot water was child sexual abuse? I'm guessing at least 80%.

AITA for yelling at my wife infront of my family for putting salt in my mom's birthday cake.

quote:

So, my wife (24) is the main cook in the apartment. She cooks whenever we have guests over and for AGES mom has been complaining about my wife not adding enough salt in her meals, my wife would take it personally and start a fight over this small comment my mom makes.

Anyways, my wife and I hosted dinner weeks ago and mom made the same comment about my wife not using enough salt even though my wife swore she did and said she was careful with salt but mom still insisted food was tasteless. Now the family were divided on this so we couldn't really decide if my wife really used enough salt.

My wife started crying after they left saying mom was being deliberate with this salt remark to make her look like a bad cook but I told her it's not true and she needed to let it go and she did, hours later she forgot about it completely.

For my mom's birthday, my wife offered to make the birthday cake saying she found a really great recipe on a cooking blog. Mom wasn't excited for the idea but I told my wife to do it thinking it'd be a nice gesture to help them get past their conflict.

We went to my mom's house and brought the cake. During the party my wife insisted my mom be the first to taste the cake. Mom grabbed a piece and once she put it in her mouth she immediately got it out while spitting in the plate. We freaked out and got her some water while she was yelling that there was salt in the cake, I looked at my wife and she said she had no idea what mom was talking about. I immediately went to get a piece and taste some and found that it was FULL of salt. It tasted horribly, absolutely horrible. Still my wife acted confused but I told her how hosed up it was for her to put salt in the cake. She said that since mom was obsessed with salt then she figured she'd prefer it over sugar in her birthday cake. I was flabbergasted I blew up and berated her infront of my family til she took her bag and went home. My sister said it was alright and that my wife was probably feeling frustrated and wanted to "make a point" to my mom. I went home and she refused to speak except to say that I hurt her by yelling at her and that I should've told mom off when she kept making remarks about her cooking but I told her she acted childishly and ruined the birthday party and made an unnecessary scene for no reason at all. Now she's acting like the wronged party but I let her know she has to apologize to mom.
