AITA for not wanting to change my unborn child’s name?quote:My husband and I have loved the name Mary Mason (go by Mason) for a girl for years. He actually said something about it during our first dance. When we found out we were pregnant, we of course thought that name for a girl. We found out it’s a girl a few weeks ago and he immediately started telling people her name. I asked him to not share it right now because I wanted to wait a little longer because people always seems to have something to say, but he was happy so told everyone. My moms name is Mary Melissa but she goes by Melissa so he thought that was why I liked the name but honestly just love the name. Now a lady he works with is suggesting he change the name to Macyn to be named after his mom who past a year ago (her name was Cindy short for Cynthia). I have never liked alternate spelling of names and he knew this from previous discussions so when he brought it up I didn’t really know what to say other than I don’t like that spelling and now he’s mad at me and just wants a completely different name if he can’t get his spelling. So AITA for not wanting to change the name? Sorry honey, some rando wants us to change it to something dumb, nothing we can do about it

Vim Fuego posted:In America it's legal but you'll get shot. In England they'll need to procure a Gimping license Yeah, this one was scary for a moment until they said England. Do fox hunters (or whatever they hunt in england these days) use trail cameras? Those can be pretty high resolution so this "plan" might result in some hilarious photos of an obvious doofus in a costume.

Is my friend the rear end in a top hat for leaving his ex girlfriends extended family group chat with the Homer Simpson disappearing memequote:My friend and his gf recently broke up a few weeks ago. Yesterday he started getting notifications from her extended family group chat with 20 people in it about thanksgiving plans. He felt uncomfortable for still being in this chat so he sent the Homer Simpson backing into the bushes meme and left it. His ex gf was not pleased. We think it’s objectively funny and probably funny to the people in the group chat. Is my friend TA? highest rating response posted:Nta. Also lol.

AITA For not knowing an interracial couple?quote:I work at a supermarket. Not a big one, just a small one. I saw an Asian man walk in, and then two seconds later I saw another Asian woman and a black guy right behind her. When I saw the Asian guy, I thought he and the Asian girl were together, because they both came in behind each other. So at this point I am assuming they are a couple. It's just common sense. Pre Covid I was at a convention that had exactly 1 black dude, and 3 black kids. Everyone else was white or Asian. So 99% of the attendees would tell the dude how cute his kids were, and how well behaved, and the entire time the dude just stared at them. The kids were all adopted by one of the white couples there. At one point someone saw the black dude leaving, and freaked out because "he was leaving his kids behind!"

New post because goddamn. Santa drat? MIL told my daughter that Santa isn’t real, so I told her that God isn’t real quote:My MIL doesn’t like me at all. She’s one of the typical moms who doesn’t want her son to be stolen away by another woman, so my existence alone is enough for her to resent me. It doesn’t help that I don’t practice her religion and that we don’t plan on baptizing our children. This is a mutual decision between my husband and I. For a little extra context, she sends me bible verses and quotes about being subservient to your husband on a regular basis to get under my skin. After telling her very nicely and calmly to stop once, she had a full blown meltdown/tantrum about how I won’t let her save me, so I just ignore her messages now. UPDATE quote:Quick TLDR for anyone who doesn’t want to read my last post: my MIL told my daughter Santa isn’t real and then had a meltdown because my husband and I limited her contact with our daughter because of it.

PetraCore posted:My most memorable Christmas gift is my dad getting me literally decades worth of a science fiction magazine (that's still being released today). He set up a scavenger hunt and at the end I found boxes and boxes of neatly bound stacks where each stack was a year worth of magazines, I don't think I ever managed to read them all but I was over the moon about it. Years later in my 20s I realized that year we'd been really tight on money because my dad got laid off, and he'd gotten the magazines from someone on craigslist or something who was clearing out their decades of archived magazines to anyone that'd pick them up.  I'm only sharing this link for this line: quote:Aguirre said that she's noticed that her younger, Gen Z clients "are less tolerant of manipulative, abusive, misogynistic behaviors."

My girlfriend bought me leggingsquote:Recently I (18m) was talking with my girlfriend (19f) and said I don't have any clothes that are comfortable to wear at home, sweatpants, Shorts, etc. She went to the store and came back later, she called me and said she had bought pants for me I go and check and see she bought me two pairs of tight black high waisted Lululemon leggings for women. I asked why she bought these for me and she said "what's the big deal? Your only wearing them at home and they're comfy and warm" she says she wears them "all the time". I tried them on and sure they're comfy and fit good but I feel weird wearing them and don't get why she didn't just buy men's sweatpants or something like that. Any reasons? or am I just overthinking this?

My kid and her cousins knew Santa was mostly a tradition we all play along with by 4/5. They also group Jesus into that category, not sure where that came from but I do gently approve. It’s not a big deal unless the kiddo is a big Santa fan and you ruin it like a fuckwit.

Depends on the child, that is around the time where they start doing detective work like "Santa uses that same wrapping paper as our parents!". There's definitely first grade kids who learn it from their peers though. Still rude to just outright say that to a child! If a six year old can pretend to believe in Santa for their younger siblings, grandma can handle a bit of Santa talk as well!

I think I stopped believing about 7 or so? My brother believed for longer but we joke that was because he thought if he stopped believing the presents would go as well.

My dad wrecked Santa because he wanted credit for our gifts. I was 7, my sister was 4 and a half. I was happy to still suspend disbelief, but my sister was a full believer and it wrecked her.

He is known as The Somerset Gimp, and has recevied a court order banning him from masks/full body costumes/black clothes after dark and got smacked with a Sexual Risk Order, which is essentially the inverse of a Gimping License.

I simply believed in Santa because my parents told me that he existed and provided 'evidence' for him visiting re. eaten cookies and carrots. I believed them because they were my parents and why should they lie to me like that? Then, when it was explicitly told to me that Santa didn't exist, the lesson I learned was that my parents could and would say what they wanted to me for their own amusement and since they were the solitary source of material support, all I should do was appease to them. Unsurprisingly, this did mess me up quite a bit, even if they didn't actually realize this was the attitude I had adopted.

Am I the only person who figured out Santa wasn’t real, went “well that sucks”, and then wasn’t hosed up about it? Probably helps that I still get presents from Santa, but still. (My mom really likes Santa as a concept so even though there are no kids left in the family she still labels about half the presents from her and my dad as from Santa.)

Well, my partner did mention the way that they learned Santa wasn't 'real', and that was because every Xmas they had a member of the family dress up as Santa and come in to deliver the presents. Worked for the young 'uns, but the older ones recognized who it actually was, recognized that Santa isn't a person, but more a cultural role, and thus had a more healthy approach not just to Xmas, but to general traditions.

Honestly, I was way more traumatized and felt betrayed over my parents harping non-stop that college was the only way to get a good job, and as long as I got a good degree I would get a good paying job. Along those lines, the idea that if I worked hard, I would get rewarded by management instead of simply getting more tasks put on me while other people were promoted because they wouldn't do the job of two or three people for the price of one. AITA for correcting my mom about my sex life at a family gathering causing mass amounts of drama? quote:I (23M) grew up in an extremely catholic household. I grew up sheltered and pressured with strict parents.
