AITA for being mad at my husband for telling our son not to listen to women??

I was/am outraged at what I heard my husband say to our 15 year old son about a week ago. Our son has started dating and he’s been coming to me for advice since his dad is on the road for work a lot. He was home last week when he was telling us about how he bungled things with the girl he was talking to.

I told him basically to move on and reinforced the advice I’d given him before about being respectful and polite.

As I left the room he asked his dad what he thought and his father said, “never listen to what women say about dating. Just pay attention to what they do. Your mother will tell you things because she thinks they’ll work, but trust me, it’s better to just watch how they behave and change your behavior based on that.”

This struck me as being incredibly sexist and dismissive of not just what I said but if who I am as a woman. What about our daughters??? I feel like this was an awful thing to reach our son but my brothers and my dad all laughed it off and said he was right.

Am I overreacting or is my husband actually the sexist rear end in a top hat?

this advice seems much less bad than the thread topic implied

Every woman I have talked to that was in the Girl Scouts said it was lame crafty poo poo, selling cookies, and later on doing slumber parties (which sound like the only fun part). I knew a gal in high school who did Venturing with her younger brother's boy scout troop after quitting the GSA and she had a blast.

The Boy Scouts (now just "Scouts") do cool, fun poo poo like horseback riding, archery, marksmanship, camping, woodworking, and outdoor survival. As a father who was a cub scout and then a boy scout as a child, I am really happy they are now inclusive and I can send my son AND my daughter to participate in an organization that was really fun for me and taught me a lot of skills. It may have been overdue, but I like the core mission of the organization and now that they don't exclude women, gays, or transgender people anymore I feel like I can send my kids there.

Camp Fire is also a thing (if you've got a traditional council anyway) and has been gender inclusive since the mid 80's

There are plenty of stories of women being bad that aren't questioned here. The ones that get flagged are the ones that read like an MRA checklist.

beyond the general worthlessness/thread-making GBS threads nature of questioning stories that aren't blatantly obvious stdh.txt, you should really reconsider whether this is a valid criteria for "calling out" a story in the first place

I'd posit there is some fairly significant overlap between "lovely things individual women have done" and "behaviors MRAs grossly overgeneralize to women as a whole"

that sort of criteria would seem (and does seem) to lead to the dismissal of a lot of not-at-all implausible stories as "fake," which seems especially invalid when considering a corpus that self-selects for weird and exceptional circumstances

lmao at throwing a surprise wedding

I had a friend who did that, but I think it's pretty different if you're actually one of the involved parties and are on the same page about what you want

they'd had conversations in theoretical terms, and apparently his wife at one point expressed the sentiment that she wished she didn't have to deal with any of it and it would just be a surprise (she claims to have no memory of this conversation)

he disguised the entire thing as a big beach weekend to explain why so many of her friends were in attendance and then got her family to stay in the same small beach community

her bridesmaids (her best friends who conspired with him) took her on a spa trip that also turned into picking up a dress before returning for the ceremony at sunset

it actually worked out really well and everybody thought the whole thing was lovely (p. much every unmarried woman involved also told their boyfriends to never loving do that to them under any circumstances)

That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”

But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

So he's been around for this kid's entire life basically or am I misreading the age/timespan here?

yeah, that's the part that's frustrating/awkward, because it seems like yeah, he should have something of an obligation to the kid there, but the idea that he was going to operate in a parenting role seems to have been pretty clearly rejected/denied by everyone else involved for a very long time

and its good that he's respected that, but the crux of the issue isn't that the kid is being lovely, it's that his wife isn't behaving as if they're actually a family unit/team at all, which seems like an extremely good reason to divorce someone you were considering having kids with

sucks for the kid though - I think divorcing his wife is definitely a NTA move, but there are a LOT of ways he could be an rear end in a top hat in the divorce proceedings/aftermath and he should try to avoid that

I wasn't siding with the lady, she's a shithead for picking on him. I was saying what she should have done differently, i.e., not dated him in the first place.

Mental disorders are sad, and people with them can be good people, but you still aren't obligated to date them. You shouldn't date people you aren't compatible with. If you're all about that skydiving life, don't date someone with a fear of heights. If you're a big extrovert and you want a partner who'll be with you for raves or traveling, don't date someone with agoraphobia. If you want a partner who can have good conversations and speak normally to a waitress, don't date someone with extreme social anxiety. It won't work and both of you will be miserable. Exhibit A, that post.

you're not "siding with the lady," you're just entirely approaching the issue from the perspective of the person you later describe as a "shithead" (after getting called out), including highlighting a potentially hyperbolic description of her partner's flaws, and then focusing on what she should have done differently so she wasn't put into a situation where it was only natural she would abuse her partner

AITA for baking a cake on my daughter's birthday but not doing the same for my stepdaughter because I was tired?

My husband and I got married 4 years ago. My late husband died serving when my daughter was 1yo and she is 8 now. My stepdaughter is 9. I'm her primary care giver because her mother is also deceased.

Yesterday was my stepdaughter's birthday and my daughter's birthday was on Sunday. I always wanted to celebrate their birthdays on the same day( I'm referring to the party ), preferably the following weekend because of our work schedules. But my husband felt that it would send a wrong message to the kids and insisted we have separate parties for both. Okay, fine by me. Recently I learned how to bake and I promised the girls that I'd bake a cake for them. So my daughter asked if I could do that for her on her birthday. I told her I would. My stepdaughter wanted the same, so I told her I'd do that for her too.

I baked a cake on Sunday and it was a huge mess. I had do it again and it was cumbersome. The end result was great but I was really tired. Yesterday was a working day and I was aldready tired. So I told my stepdaughter that I was too tired to bake a cake. She got really upset and she ended up not wanting a party. My husband got really upset and told me that I'm discriminating against them and showing them preferential treatment. I was also really pissed and told him he can bake a cake for his daughter. AITA here?

I'd say yeah definitely rear end in a top hat in this case, how it played out is understandable, but the optics are really bad and its also reasonable/anticipable for her stepdaughter to be extremely upset

it's one of those commitments that should absolutely not be reneged on if it can be avoided at all

Yeah I dunno it never happened to me or any of my friends so yeah I'm asking if people really do this.

well that's probably because your social circle isn't full of immature/abusive/codependent/otherwise dysfunctional relationships and (taking a wild guess based on general forum demographics) you're probably a bit past your teen-years/early 20's where that stuff is both more common and hasn't been self-selected out of the people you maintain relationships with

again, have you somehow missed reading the dysfunctional poly stories? there's not that much daylight between someone deciding they want to unilaterally open a relationship while still expecting to use their former partner for emotional/financial support/etc., and someone deciding that of course their partner will be fine with them loving off for a few years (literally) before they return to settle down, its just a difference in the self-justifications used and life-stage (since college and the inevitable breakup of HS relationships or ill-advised LDR followed by inevitable breakup are somewhat more specific)

well yeah, because it's a pretty specific manifestation and you probably don't hang around with garbage people, but the underlying behavior/motivation/relationship dynamics at play are extremely common

just think of it like this: you definitely know that lovely people exist who are totally fine making a unilateral decision that they're now in a poly relationship, while expecting to retain their previous doormat of a partner as an ever-present fallback plan/source of support, right? does it strike you as particularly implausible that some people might feel similarly entitled to unilaterally decide that their relationship is now going to be either "on break" or a LDR with a "don't ask, don't tell" policy towards sleeping around while they're at school, while maintaining the expectation that their doormat partners will be similarly fine with it?

The wedding industry might be a scam, but pay for some loving catering at your own drat party, you idiots

yeah you can just host the ceremony if that's your thing, but if you're going to host a reception actually do it properly

which does not need to be expensive! no one made them choose an inflexible venue that only uses a single caterer - that sort of limitation should be the very first thing you look at when evaluating a venue for a reception (after "do I like it?" and "is it big enough for my guests and is transportation workable") because it dictates the total cost of venue rental and a lot of the tone of the meal/party

they'd be way better off doing the ceremony and then just having the reception be a BBQ at someone's house/property or a public park later that afternoon

weddings, properly done, are awesome

the secret is that they're not really about the bride and groom, they're about the community around the bride and groom marking a life passage and then all coming together to enjoy a good party with one another

if it's oriented around creating a series of "perfect moments" for a "special day," religious ceremony, etc. it'll be interminable and aggravating, if it's a short ceremony celebrating a couple's love followed by that couple's best attempt to show their guests a good time it'll be a blast
