AITA For punishing my daughter on her birthday for getting political?

quote:

So I'll try to keep this vague since the politics themselves don't matter in this context.

A few days ago it was my daughter's birthday and we only had a small gathering consisting of me, my wife, my daughter and her own grandparents.

Now my parents are in their late 70s and their beliefs and values differ drastically than my daughter's, who is 12.

As we were talking, my dad brought up the subject of politics as it relates to everything currently going on in America right now. My daughter disagreed with their views and started to engage them and they were going back and forth. I didn't want this to escalate to an argument and I didn't want to upset my parents anymore. I took my daughter aside and told her to drop it.

She stopped for a little bit but then continued to argue after my grandparents kept on talking about the subject. Since my daughter did not listen to me, I told her that she is punished and refused to let her have cake and made her go to bed early.

She hasn't been talking to me which doesn't surprise me and my father supports the punishment, but my mother and wife do not.

It's a racket. Good colleges give preferential treatment to kids from certain expensive private feeder high schools who do it to kids from elementary who do it to kids from preschool. Most yuppies apply before the kids are even conceived. Sometimes real life is just like mediocre sitcoms. But in all seriousness, one of the primary value-adds about private schools v public is their funding isn't wholly dependent on federal/state administered testing, so your kid isn't just being given a thousand STAAR practice tests the whole year and might actually be taught some subject-specific content, so they can do better on the test that actually matters, the SAT when the time comes. Not that that's worth the cost of a used Lexus, but it's something.

AITA for having a family kicked out of Friendly's?

quote:

Obligatory disclaimer for reasons that should be crystal-clear: This occurred March 13.

Anyway, that day I had a day off for a doctor's appointment, and decided to treat myself to Friendly's afterwards. Two rows behind me, there was a family that had a 4 year old daughter, who wanted ice cream before her lunch. Her parents rightfully and obviously say no, which triggers a meltdown.

10 minutes go by, she's still screaming. Mother takes her to the car. Two minutes later, she brings her back in, still crying. 5 minutes later, father takes her to the car. Same thing, brings her back still screaming 2 minutes later.

After the child's still screaming after two attempts at isolation, I go to the manager because I've had enough. I tell him what's going on, and so he goes over to talk to the family. I can't hear much of what was being said, but based on mouth-reading and body language, he tells the family "you need to leave" where the idiot dad then attempts to argue the decision. Some banter and some argument continues, where the manager then escorts the family out of the restaurant.

At that point, I was on dessert. I got a nice sundae, and ate a big spoonful as they walked past my table. Satisfying.
Reddit, as stipulated by the terms of the witch's curse, is incapable of ever being right about anything, so inexplicably voted OP the rear end in a top hat.

Expensive private schools are just a pipeline to ensure that rich failsons have an avenue for failing upwards their entire lives, with a veneer of plausible deniability that you aren't actively selecting for a certain kind of old money privilege. That's what you're paying for.

Like, look at Boris Johnson. Absolutely zero merits as a human being, but he gets to lead the conservative party and be prime minister because he went to the right schools and managed to be the least off-putting of his classmates.

The "average" private school in the US (78% of them) is a religious school so that's not surprising. Their purpose is not a better education, their purpose is segregation and avoiding as many regulations as possible.

Already been stated, but it's so obvious what actually went down here. A lot of us, myself included, have been where that 12 year old is or at least witnessed it.

Patriarch grandpa just gets to spout racist bullshit all night, then any level of resistance gets shut down with "okay no arguing about politics." After the argument stops grandpa continues being a dumb old gently caress, starts an argument again, and no one says anything until he's challenged.

AITA for not sending my gifted child to private school because of her sister?

quote:

My husband and I have twin girls (6F), Kayla and Charlotte. Kayla is exceptionally bright, not through anything that we've done. She was reading fluently before she turned 3, is now able to read books for 11-12 year olds, can do mental arithmetic, and she is insatiably curious and loves learning. Charlotte is very visual and loves painting, which we encourage, but she's not as interested in learning as Kayla and her intelligence is of a different sort to Kayla's. She's good at practical things but she's otherwise at an average level with her peers, which is still great and we're very proud of her!

Recently, the girls' teacher told us about a private school nearby and suggested that we send Kayla there. The fees are £15,000 per year. She said that she has no doubt whatsoever that Kayla would get a scholarship that would cover most if not all of the fees due to how bright she is. However, she expressed doubt that Charlotte would, although she did say that Charlotte would probably do well there if we could afford to send her as that school has a reputation for the arts. However, there's no way we could afford to pay £15k+ each year for the girls' schooling. We're not destitute but we don't have anywhere near that amount to spare.

My husband and I had a talk about it and we agreed that we couldn't imagine splitting the twins up at this age. We also don't want Charlotte to resent us in the future because we were able to send Kayla to private school and not her. Because of this, we've elected not to send Kayla for the scholarship test, and to keep both girls in state school.

Both my parents and my husbands' dad have warned us that Kayla will inevitably end up resenting us if she finds out that we had the chance to send her to private school for free and chose not to. There's no doubt that Kayla would have many more opportunities at that school, but every time I think of sending her there, I just think of Charlotte and how unfair it would be for her to see her sister go there when we can't afford to send her too. I feel like whatever we decide, one twin misses out. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is in a couple of weeks and before it flies past us and we don't apply, AITA for not applying?

Oh, absolutely. The thing is, not every yuppie couple lives in reasonable proximity of these places, and even if they do, slots are finite and hotly contested. Consequently, some of the ones who don't get in say "eh, any private must be better than a public because they cost more" which is uh, not the case. Turns out being subject to oversight actually does something. Who knew?

If he's paying for everything, I imagine OP is the primary breadwinner and his wife is either a sahm or a sahm in all but name and has a job as an entrepreneur of some kind. Since OP specifies finances are separate, the wife probably has some kind of job.

Lots of couples maintain separate finances in some or all spheres. That's hardly unusual. Due to the language used, I think OP is in a blended family. People in blended families usually demand final say with the kids they bring into the marriage, so it doesn't seem like it's a huge stretch to say that would extend to educational stuff. I can see OP's wife saying that she'll make all decisions about the daughter's schooling, and that would include paying for it.

He obviously has no obligation to buy any particular thing for his stepdaughter, but similarly, she and the wife are allowed to complain when he doesn't.

Almost all of the religious private schools here are catholic, so in addition to not being reliant on government funding, they are also propped up by the catholic church (not that that stops them from year-long money grubbing, of course) which as you say allows them to largely ignore benchmarks set by the government, so no matter how bad their numbers are or how many instances of sexual misconduct are filed, they almost never close down. They are also allowed not to teach sex ed or evolution regardless of state standards to ensure a steady supply of republican voters after graduation.

AITA for demanding my husband change the name of our new kitten, even though I swore he could name the new kitten?

quote:

Our cat had gotten out, we still aren't quite sure how, but she came back the next day and, surprise! She is pregnant. We did think she was fixed. She was a stray, or lost, but by the time we found her owner in three months, she didn't want her. And I guess we never followed up. It hasn't been a problem, she showed no signs of ever being in heat for the past few years.

Flash forward and we have five new, adorable, fuzzy family members. We decided, after much deliberation, to reward our hard work of taking care of mommy and five little ones, and being price gouged to poo poo during this fun pandemic, to keep a kitten. My husband and I both got a little closer to two different kittens, and after much negotiation, we decided I could pick the kitten we would keep if he got to name it.

He picked the name Dro. Yes, it is a drug. That's the name he wants and it has been an ongoing arguement, because his kitten is gone, I got my kitten, and now that he worked so hard, his words, on picking the right name, I am backing out on the deal. He refuses to change the name to anything else!

My cat is named after a drug. We have a young niece and nephew. They will probably tell their teachers the cat's name. Especially the four year old, who doesn't know what Dro is, but tells everyone, everything, and the ten year old who definitely does. I have to bring this cat to the vet, eventually. I have to tell teachers, friends, everyone, that my cat is named for a drug. That's not a good impression to me. He has no issues with this, he thinks it's cool and doesn't think I should worry about what other people think. He also brings up the fact that I have no problem with my friend's cat named DUI (pronounced Dewey), and always thought it was hilarious and inventive. I bring up the point that I don't own the cat, nor take care of it, so, of course it won't bother me.

Most of our friends think it's a cute name, and personally, I do as well. I would fully encourage anyone else to name their cat that, but they don't have to deal with the unintended consequences of a cat named Dro. Which he feels makes me a hypocrite. So, fine, I'm a hypocrite. The name is cool and fun, and I love it, but he still can't name our cat that.

I'm not saying he still can't name the cat, I'm just asking him to not name him Dro. Should I stop arguing my point, because it's not a big deal? Is he right? Should I just drop this, or, is this something worth keeping up with? Because I really feel like he's being an unreasonable rear end in a top hat about this, and would really like an impartial opinion on this.

Stg, I thought she was objecting because it was a swear word or something racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. Maybe I'm just not up on the Cool New Club Drugs (...she says, as if she ever was), but "dro" doesn't obviously sound like a drug, it sounds like a name from GoT or something.

ESH, but she sucks more for fussing about what the school will think if her niece and nephew talk about a cat named after a drug.

AITA for arguing with my girlfriend about her washing raw chicken?

quote:

My (25M) girlfriend (25F) of a year and a half just moved into my apartment two or three weeks ago.

She usually orders takeout, but last night she decided she wanted to start cooking for herself.

I walk into the kitchen and see she has a piece of raw chicken in the sink, so I ask her not to do that since it'll get bacteria on the sink and anything else that goes in there. Instead of taking it out and using the bowl I sat next to her, she picks it up and turns on the faucet trying to wash it, as I saw my life flashing before my eyes, splashing water all over the place, and I say you're not supposed to wash chicken because it spreads bacteria, as she says "what bacteria?". She then takes one hand off of the chicken and uses it to turn off the faucet, the whole time I'm saying she could have gotten salmonella all over the sink/counter/faucet as she takes the chicken to my cutting board table I use to cut fruit, places the chicken down, and walks over to the fridge (without washing her hands), opens it with her still wet hand, as she starts rummaging through the fruit/vegi drawer. I tell her she's going to have to wash the handle now and any think else she touched because that could become a breeding ground for bacteria as she yells "stop pissing me off and just leave me alone, I guarantee you any chicken you've eating at a restaurant was made the same way ". So I did.

I went to the bedroom and an hour later I hear her eating and talking on facetime when she tells the person how "I went psycho over some f*cking chicken", "followed her around telling her how to cook her own dinner" and how I "need a reality check".

I feel like rear end for bringing it up since she was only trying to cook herself dinner, and I'm not generally a germaphobe, but this is just one of those things.

Unless you buy discount chicken from the dollar store and you're washing off a carpet of slime you don't really need to wash chicken like that even then, that won't be the problem to avoid getting sick.

That said, anyone not washing their hands like 10+ times while cooking and changing between raw meat, produce, and cooking equipment is probably someone who wears special pants after home cooked meals in case they get the gurglespurts.

AITA for not telling my girlfriend I had penis enlargement surgery

quote:

I (25M) have been with my girlfriend (22F) for half a year now. She moved in with me before the lockdown. We were looking through an old photo album of her as a teen and she had a different nose. She admitted to me she had plastic surgery as she was bullied a lot because of her nose at school. I was very accepting as it's not like she got full on Barbie surgery and she just fixed an issue she had with herself. I understand why people get nose jobs and other stuff due to self esteem problems.

I told her "It's okay, I understand why you got it, I fixed an insecurity myself when I was a little younger."

During my teenage years I felt very insecure about my penis size. When I was 21 I finally had enough and got enlargement surgery.

She asked what I had fixed and I said I had got the enlargement surgery. I expected it to be all good but she was enraged. She yelled at me that I should have told her and all that poo poo. I was confused because she had nose surgery and she didn't tell me. I asked her why she was mad when she had surgery too and her explanation was because "it's just different!"

She now has gone cold with me. I kinda feel bad for not mentioning it early on into the relationship, but at the same time she didn't tell me about her nose job. Am I the rear end in a top hat here?

My kid is in a $25k/year private high school... top 3 in the state... but only because he has an 85% scholarship.

My girlfriend has mentioned moving in, and has a high-school aged daughter. She said she wouldn't like it if my kid was in the private school, and hers was bussing it to public school. I told her I agreed, that would piss me off. And then I didn't follow up the hints that she wanted to move in with me, heh.

Neither she nor I can afford the full cost of this school for her daughter, and I'm not pulling my son out to make things fair. Just the way it is.

I don't assume everyone is a rational actor, but I feel like the scholarship itself is the end of the argument. Were he to lose it you'd have a major struggle to find some way to scrounge up $22k/yr so he could keep going (like if it was senior year and it was the difference between Harvard and a state school)

The whole "everyone needs to meet in the middle" is the most widely abused excuse for a lot of things by people who just want to see someone else hurt so they don't have to deal with the reality they aren't the world's greatest person.

Do kids even call weed 'dro' any more? I mean, that's we called the good poo poo 20 years ago, it has to have new nomenclature by now.

I for one can't walk the streets of my town without seeing people blowin dro on 24s.

AITA for telling my sister I think her baby name choice is weird?

quote:

My sister is in her third trimester of pregnancy, and she's about ready to pop any day now. We're all excited about her new baby. Ever since the pregnancy began, my sister and BIL have kept their name choice a secret from everyone, even their closest friends and family. My sister and I are pretty close (we can be dicks to each other every now and then, but at the end of the day we'd still take a bullet for each other), so last night she decided to share her baby name with me.

The name is Portabella (and yes, she did give me permission to share it here). Like the mushroom. At first I thought she was joking, but then she started saying how we could just call the kid Bella for short. There's obviously nothing wrong with Bella, but I think naming your kid after a mushroom is weird. I told my sister that she can name her baby whatever she wants as long as BIL is on board, but she did not take this well.

She got really irritated, pointing out how I have my weird obsession with fried chicken (it's kinda true) so why can't she have a weird obsession with her favorite mushroom? I told her she can be obsessed with whatever food she likes, but you don't see me making plans to name my firstborn the Colonel.

This just made her explode. I keep telling her the name is fine and I don't care what the baby is called as long as she's healthy, but she's insisting I was being an rear end in a top hat. Was I, though? I don't care what the baby's name is, I'm just excited to be an auntie. AITA?

What the hell is this? What does having a "weird obsession" with fried chicken mean? How does it matter when naming a child?

This one is great cause it's just perplexing.

They're some dumb-dumb whose posts all seem to hinge on fried chicken and socking it to vegans.
