Had a guy that was in my unit whose name whos first and middle names were Alma Levi. He usually went by Levi or his last name.

I thought that was a unique name until I met someone just recently that also served with a different Alma Levi.

Alma's a feminine name in at least two languages, and with "Levi" I'd assume that came from one of them. :raise:

I was guessing the name was Courtney or maybe Jordan. Possibly an Alex but I think that's become more male over the years.

Lol at the actual answer.

Alex has always been a more male than female name to me.

Of course I'm biased because that's my son's name (well, Alexander).

Oh, our minds think alike, because that's exactly where I went with that too.

Also, I know a bloke called Meredith, he goes by "Beddoe", which is a Welsh derivative/nickname for Meredith. (I am unclear how you get from Meredith to Beddoe, but Welsh is a law unto itself when it comes to pronunciation, so whatever)

AITA for asking my wife 'what the gently caress do you want me to do?' after she asked me to feed our son and 'shaming' her for breastfeeding?

quote:

My wife and I (both 30f) have a 4-month-old son. He's the light of our lives. My wife carried him and is the one who feeds him. He is exclusively breastfed. Fine, it's my wife's choice. I suggested pumping so I could also feed him but she says it's uncomfortable and time-consuming so that's not an option. She also doesn't want to use formulas.

Last night our boy woke up and was crying. I got up and it was clear he was hungry so I woke my wife up. She was very annoyed and groggy and told me to feed him. I told her I can't and that she needs to get up to feed him. It turned into a small argument and I ended up saying 'what the gently caress do you want me to do?'. It wasn't a yell or anything, but my tone was definitely annoyed.

After a minute or so, she got up and fed our son but she didn't get back into bed. I tried to get her to come back to bed, but she wouldn't. I woke up the next day and found she'd cooked a whole breakfast but was being super cold to me. I asked if she was ok and she said she was mad at me for waking her up. I asked her what she wanted me to do- our son is only breastfed and she won't pump or use formula. That was the wrong thing to say as she got super mad at me and yelled about how I'm 'shaming' her for her choices. I said I'm not, but she's not making it any easier on either of us.

I asked my friend who has a 2-year-old and she sided with my wife and said breastfeeding isn't a walk in the park and I was wrong.

So, AITA?

EDIT: I am a very involved parent. I take care of our son during the day (wife still feeds him but that's all she does during the day). She doesn't change nappies, bathe him or do any household chores. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting her to be busting her rear end deep-cleaning the house but I do everything during the day (apart from feeding_. She's in therapy (not diagnosed with anything), too. I'm the one who gets up at night first every time.

ALSO I'M A WOMAN. NOT A MAN.

EDIT 2: To all the people telling me simply just start lactating, please do a google search. Breasts do not work that way.

The guy that was in my unit joined the Army because his family were all hardcore Mormons and it was either the military or a missionary trip. He wanted out of Mormonism so he made his choice.

Considering he had a shitload of tatoos, had at least 1 kid out of wedlock, and was an alcoholic like the rest of us I can understand why he wanted out.

In comments, she adds that she does not have functional nipples, so while she's generally wrong about how tits can work, it is actually true in her case that she can't get things going. She had some damage to her chest.

Been reading the previous thread off and on so here's a repost from one I just read; figured everybody likes a good no-stakes weird one:

quote:

every time by boyfriend (M23) and I are cuddling after sex he pushes me (F23) off the bed and yells "CLOTHES TIME!!!"

so my boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year. its great- he's super sweet and we get along really well. I haven't really told anybody about this because I didn't think it was a big deal but the other night it escalated. we were lying together after sex and we were cuddling and everything was great. I reached down to caress him, and suddenly he pushed me off of the bed and onto the floor, where I lay, naked, feeling very surprised. he yells "CLOTHES TIME" and scampers off into the bathroom and hurriedly put on clothes. I was very confused at this point, and wondering what was going on. I put on clothes and then he left like everything was totally normal. Like I think it’s kinda funny but idk

I'm just feeling confused, is this normal?

Look sometimes women's feeble little brains just can't handle the truth, and in those times it's important to lie to your partner about what you are feeding your infant.

OP has a point, her wife:

1. Doesn't want to use formula. (Good luck finding that poo poo right now anyway)
2. Doesn't want to pump, so we can safely assume there's no milk saved in the fridge.
3. Doesn't want to get up and feed the baby.

Her frustration makes sense and I'd also be saying, "What the gently caress do you want me to do?" It's super early morning and everyone is tired and there's a crying baby, brains aren't working correctly here.

Lying to your partner about the care and feeding of your child. Secretly feeding a baby, whether with formula or donated milk or whatever, is a terrible idea because it will give the other parent incorrect information about how much the child is eating, which is very important info. It can also easily lead to a drop in milk production, so coming back from doing it a little can be difficult and demoralizing to the other mother.

You'll be ahead instead of behind. Hello!
AITA for not getting my son (16M) out of a repulsive punishment?

quote:

Recently I got the news that my son (16M) and a couple friends thought it would be a funny prank to take a few gallons of pig manure (courtesy of a friend who works on a farm) and pour it into a trashcan in one of their school classrooms.

He snuck in and did it before class, ran away, and apparently the stench was so bad that it cleared out the classroom.

Thankfully a camera caught him, and instead of suspending him, they offered a punishment of 1-day ISS (in-school suspension) doing schoolwork - on the condition that he serves the ISS in the same room as the trash can he befouled (in a warehouse sort of building adjacent to the disconnected gymnasium - it's certainly not still sitting in the school).

He begged me to say no and to take a suspension instead, but I said absolutely not. I think that's a fair punishment. He said his friend was the one who gave him the jug and he had no idea it would smell that bad and couldn't stand being around it for a day, but I think he should have thought of that before pouring it out in the school.

Then he started saying he's worried it's unsafe, but I think that's completely nonsense. It's ventilated, it's 1 gallon, and it's not like he'll have to touch it - pig farmers are around much worse every day, I'm sure. Not that I've ever been to one, but I feel like he's getting off very easy.

AITA?

I'm curious about how bad pig poo poo actually smells. I work in wastewater and a lot of stenches don't really register any more (although a dumpster sitting in the summer Texas sun full of rotting meat and maggots still got me pretty bad).

Pretty awful, but also your nose stuns pretty quick and it is just occasionally awful. Especially in one-gallon rather than million gallons circulating quantities.

This is still a bullshit(heh!) punishment, and any non-Texas school system should be very unsurprised if they have to settle a case over it.

Obvious course of action is "take the usual idiot-white-child punishment of in-school suspension with no pigshit" but the temptation would be to let them do it, then get college and a little something for the future paid for once a lawyer calls.

Staggeringly bad. Like, incomprehensibly awful, it shouldn't be ranked alongside waste products from any other livestock/mammal. If it is present in any significant volume there is a penetratingly *chemical* odour to it that sets instinctive alarm bells ringing in your hind brain to "get away, get away!".

AITA for pointing out that my son is smarter than his sister?

quote:

This is for a while ago but my daughter is still mad at me so i needed to know if i did something wrong.

English isnt my first language.

i have 2 kids Daisy(F18) and Luke(M20). Both my kids are very smart and growing up it was like a competition for them. Each one of them would try to show that they are smarter and they would compete in everything. when luke graduated highschool he got accepted in a very good college. 2 Years later daisy applied to colleges and she got accepted into a very good college but her college wasnt as good as lukes so i jokingly said:" see. Now we know for a fact that luke is smarter" she suddenly got very angry and started yelling at me and even blamed me for not getting accepted in a better college!

It was just a joke. I didnt think she would get so angry. Both colleges are very good and we are so proud of them but she is barely talking to me now.

Edit: OK OK IM THE AH I SEE IT NOW YOU CAN ALL STOP INSULTING ME.

I texted my daughter to apologize and asked her when she is coming back so we can talk about it she said:' i chose a college far away from home to get away from you and you think im coming back?' I tried calling her but she is not answering so i guess yall got what you wanted

From the edit I get the feeling this wasn't the first time OP made such a joke.

Grew up and live in the midwest and used to pass a pig farm on the bus to school in the morning.

It smells horrendous. I'd rather smell human poo poo 100 times out of 100.

Pig poo poo is hazardous, especially in a closed space. It makes some people faint or vomit very quickly. The stuff causes 11% of all MRSA infections, especially antibiotic-resistant ones. People even living near pig farms are at risk, and more than half of pig farmers develop health problems. Gas from the poop can impair neurological functions and breathing. It can contain ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane. It can eat through metal.

Seriously, "creative" punishments are universally stupid things that adults do so they can talk to other adults about how clever they are with punishing their children.
