I had told my family during my pregnancy that I was not using Agatha or Agnes or an A name for my baby. I told them more than once in fact. For some reason they decided Agatha would be the name.

I love how deliberately obtuse the family is being, especially these 2 particular parts. Really hope OP buys a dog later & names it Agatha just to piss them off.

ESH but there's a thing here I didn't quite appreciate until I had my own kids:

Yes, you teach kids to respect property and to not throw things out of fits of frustration. However, young kids don't have developed impulse control and they often can't stop themselves from acting out in frustration. Like, yes, the entire point here is to teach them so they learn to get better about it, but you have to expect and anticipate incidents.

This is why you don't hand your invaluable vintage consoles to a child. Or if you do, you need to do it under the conditions that they're going to have an enjoyable un-frustrating experience, meaning you don't kick their rear end in Mario Kart. Give them the win, help make a memory they will cherish.

Sounds like a great way to raise a fuckin scrub. if you want the child to cherish a memory of beating you, they gotta earn it.

And yeah I grew up with video games since I was like 5, never once did have I destroyed a controller or console in a fit of rage.

Indie was the dogs name.

I don't think that's that bad as unusual names go but even if it was something worse, expressing doubts about the name would be one thing, but just arbitrarily deciding on another name and buying gifts with that name on them is insane

Dredging up a classic:

AITA for not getting a tattoo with my sisters and inheriting our grandma's money?

quote:

My grandma is super against tattoos. She says they don't look good on women (my two brothers have tattoos, though, and that's fine with her). When she found out my oldest sister - there's four of us - had a tattoo (we still don't know who snitched) she took my sister out of her will.

My other sisters and I made plans for the three of us to get tattoos in solidarity with our sister. I said I was going to do it, but then I realized how dumb that was and decided not to do it. They went through with it, though, and they were mad at me when they find out I didn't do it.

My grandma took them off her will and when she died, my two brothers and I inherited all her money and estates. My brothers and I gave our sisters a little bit of it, but they want us to split it equally. My sisters have been pressuring me especially because I had said I was going to do that tattoo plan with them and then didn't do it.

AITA for not getting the tattoo with them? Also, WIBTA if I don't split the inheritance equally with them (I already gave them some, but they want more)?

She and her brothers are absolutely loving assholes if they don't split it evenly. Grandma was a dumb bitch, doesn't mean she should be too.

To be fair, I have gotten SO much poo poo for being a bi lady. SO many dudes get all hurfy doo u do 3sum??/ wife is bi 2. It's infuriating because I have never ever brought it up with the idea that it's an invitation, yet it's always treated that way.

He muddies it by switching the genders, but imagine you are a woman (if you aren't already) and a coworker You've known for about three weeks, barely an acquaintance, comes up to you apropos of nothing and says "Oh, by the way, I think you should know, my wife (who you've never met) is bisexual".

Yeah like if it's somehow relevant to something or it's pride month and they're just trying to show solidarity or whatever sure, but bringing it up with zero reason/context is definitely going to make people wonder "wtf are you telling me this?" and potentially weird people out

Yeah, to be clear I get why he's concerned about bringing it up to female coworkers. It's that he, personally, would assume it's a come-on that makes me :raise:

Here is a story about someone who will leave for college in a year or two and never look back.

AITA for calling my(16m) sister(17f) a bully for not letting a my girlfriend(17f) join her math club

quote:

My sister Christie is your average math nerd, she really smart at it has won awards at comp�tions.

With that though comes your bully and my girlfriend Emily was Christie bully back in middle school it wasn�t harsh and she want the main bully but Christie has hated her since.

I grew a crush on Emily when I saw her at our highschool(I didn�t know how she looked like really before ) and we started dating, when I brought her home to meet my parents Christie yelled at her to get out of her house which I stood up for Emily and told her she was my girlfriend-

ensue Christie having a breakdown she left to her room and didn�t come out even when our parents asked only came out to get the cat, Emily tried apologizing and she was remorseful for the past but Christie ignored her and said I was dead to her.

My parents though she would get over it since she�d always been rational one but she didn�t she became very cold and the more my parents talked and spent time with Emily the more and more she removed herself.

i did the same too Emily is great and has changed just because Christie can�t accept it dosent mean we�re over.

Now onto the problem our highschool allows kids to have their own club so as long as it�s atleast 5 members and is within school rules.

Christie and her friends made one a math club for girls when she started highschool, and from the looks of it it�s really fun, they have win competitions, and most of them are really involved in the school activit�s

Emily wanted to join and she needed to atleast get Christie word for the other members to accept, when she did ask Christie scoffed and made a comment �I don�t think your iq level would even fit the club.� Emily got sad but asked again saying this would good for her college resume and Christie ignored her.

Emily came back to me crying and I got pissed and confronted Christie calling her a bully for doing this, she laughed and said �Emily taught me how.� And went to her room.

I told my friends and one,Aiden told me how stupid I was begin and how could I expect Christie to help Emily. but he�s always had a crush on Christie so I don�t know if I should take his word for it. AITA?

"My parents though she would get over it since she�d always been rational one" - you're smart, therefore it's OK to trample all over your feelings. Parents might be worse than OP.

Comment:

As an Australian I�m surprised to learn that 8 drinks is a lot, but I still say YTA because I feel he�s taken advantage of the arrangement.

Is Australia one of those countries where bar/restaurant liquor pours are regulated? A quick search suggests a �shot� is 30 ml in Australia, if they were having mixed drinks with those 8 would be equivalent to a bit over 5 1.5 oz standard US liquor pours. Also (at least from what I have seen) US bartenders err on the side of overserving rather than using jiggers so �8� drinks can easily be 12+ in reality, if that was 8 average margaritas around here it would be impressive if the dude was still upright.
