I’m worried about my kid so I’m going to hide in a dark bathroom and scream at him when he comes in to use it.

In my mind the only thing that excuses bathroom mum is some deep trauma related to being locked in a bathroom. But that would be a hell of a reach.

I'd love a solution to the mystery because my mom does the exact same thing. Just instead of screaming bloody murder she'll make a sour "tsk" sound, as if you're the rear end in a top hat for walking in on her.

Hughlander posted:I think this was posted years and years ago but came across it today again... I mean, just from OOP1’s description, it sounds like everybody enjoyed themselves with their campy horror wedding. I think it sounds pretty fun. I also think OOP1’s only joy in life is probably being nasty to pope who don’t fit her very narrow idea of polite society. I doubt T needed the message passed onto him by that point, but it probably helped to know he did not need to break up with his awful girlfriend.

The name Hana shows up independently in a bunch of different cultures. AITA for telling my son that his poor performance in math class is his choice? quote:My 8-year-old son (we'll call him Peter) has never been particularly good at math. He was never terrible, usually on or slightly above grade level. However, he's always been much stronger in English/reading, and his writing abilities are similar to those of someone in 5th grade. However, this year, Peter has been struggling badly in math. I've tried sitting with him after school, flashcards, memory games, etc. Nothing seems to work. This is particularly embarrassing for me because I'm an engineer, so not only do I use math every day, but I absolutely love it.

Whilst guys like this ("Speak only English in my house!!") are often racist, I would argue its more about control, and that he feels "disrespected", intimidated, and emasculated by the fact that his girlfriend speaks more languages than him. And is showing off/showing him up. Basically he wants his girlfriend to always be, and always seem to be lesser than him, and can't handle a woman who can do/knows things. There's also the fear/hatred of "the other" going on. i.e. "Ewww, that's foreign and different. I don't understand it, and it would take a minimum of effort to watch these movies. Therefore I hate it and forbid it! As it is my manly right to do." BrigadierSensible fucked around with this message at 02:19 on May 19, 2023 |

That said, if Cowslips Warren meant "guys who say they're into 'asians' always mean Japanese women because they're weebs" and not "these kinds of guys are only attracted to Japanese women and not women from other Asian countries" I have also observed that to be true when seeing guys utter and then elaborate on this statement to horror similar to that of op's family in the story.

BrigadierSensible posted:You are highly underestimating the Korean fetishists. To be perfectly clear, I know OP is appropriating the language of progressives in bad faith to pretend he has some kind of moral objection to the gf watching non-english things in his presence. I was not actually curious about his hypocrisy because fascists do not actually have any beliefs, just that it was funny he was pretending to pearlclutch about racism while being actively racist. All the stuff you're saying is also obviously true, I just think this character is also pretty clearly racist. edit: sorry for the double post, I thought I'd clicked edit.

And is showing off/showing him up. Eh, I don't think it has to be that extreme. Being perpetually confused in your own home and lacking an understanding is something that would gently caress with anyone's head. That said, this guys a flagrant rear end in a top hat and missed the memo that the solution to the problem is to broaden his horizons and learn some of at least one of those languages, and learn a bit more about his partner in the process. But I suppose getting his rear end kicked to the curb because he's a shithead that would rather shut down someone else's passions than be uncomfortable also resolves the problem while also solving the problem of the woman having a terrible boyfriend.

I also need that confidence. AITA For telling my parents the truth, when it caused my sister to lose her internship opportunity whereas I had nothing to lose by staying silent? quote:Me (17F) and my sister “Stefanie” (also 17F) are graduating soon. Our school had a senior field trip last friday to an amusement park (I’ll call it “Funland” for privacy) that they do every year to celebrate graduation. Our principal “Mr. Greg” explained to us during an assembly beforehand and made it very clear that if anyone got in serious trouble on the trip, they would not be allowed to go to Prom or walk at graduation, since the school was liable for anything the students did at Funland and they wanted everyone to take the rules seriously. WIBTA to modify a costume my niece picked out quote:My niece turns 6 on Saturday, and she is my favorite person. Her birthday party is a cartoon character costume party, and she is picking the characters for the guests. I’d do anything for her, so when she asked if I’d dress up for her birthday, of course I said yes. I am seriously wondering what six year old knows this character.

I watched a lot of old movies with my kids; I think most people try to share their own childhood favorites. I will say my major worry about wearing that costume would be that somebody, probably my sister, would find it funny to put pictures on social media.

Yeah, but at 6 for them to know it, a parent would have had to throw it on. It's a good movie, but not exactly one I'd watch with a kid that age. The first chunk of the movie centers around an affair and blackmail plot, which a kid that age is going to have zero interest in. Even if you're ok with your kid being exposed to a bunch of sex humor, it's a weird pick.

No, but it sounds like it was against park rules and they're perfectly free to bar her entry for attempting to subvert them. She wasn't thrown in the slammer, she was told she couldn't go to prom or graduation. Which was also a clear cut, known policy in advance of the her stupidity. I've got to admire the lunacy of trying to pin it on her sibling at the end.
