Thin guy here. A French tuck is what happens when I'm forced to tuck a buttoned shirt in but constantly fidget and stretch my arms because I really hate the feeling of it.

lol my sister had a baby last November and none of us, including our mom, met him until late January. We were all fine, my sister and BIL enjoyed the opportunity to acclimate to becoming new parents and the baby gave exactly 0 shits because he is an infant.

covid aside, this comes up every so often and 8 weeks seems pretty long but it's an excuse for anxious people not to see anyone and they have perfect plausible deniability so arguing about it on the anxiety capital of the internet is not going to work out well

AITA for not asking my dad for something of mine when he purposefully hid it to bond with me?OP posted:My dad hid my laptop one night from my nightstand while it was charging while I was sleeping, I knew I left it there charging the night before so when I woke up I was very surprised/upset it was gone. I knew it had to be somewhere in my house, but if I couldn't find it I'd be missing school (Since my school is 100% online) Top Comment posted:NTA If your father wants to bond with you, he should just spend some time with you, not manufacture bizarre scenarios where he ends up the hero and you're eternally grateful to him. Also, he's gaslighting you, twisting the whole thing to be your fault. You're not at fault in any way, and your father needs a therapist. OP posted:LMAO youre gonna get a kick out of this.

Yeah, maybe things would be different if my rear end were fatter than my hips are wide, but as it is, I don't think I'm physically capable of wearing jeans that don't rest at my waist. Everyone is different! But I will never go back to a center part.

It's also a fantastic excuse if you just straight up don't like someone and don't want them around but social convention prevents you from telling them so

ghost emoji posted:AITA for telling my MIL she can’t see her grandbaby immediately when it’s born? (self.AmItheAsshole) Just thinking of my friends and family who had kids (pre-Covid) and it felt like they’d invite literally everyone to come see how great and cute their new baby is. Either immediately at the hospital or shortly after leaving, never mind for two months afterwards. I think the justification of “we’ll be tired and trying to figure poo poo out” sounds pretty good, just never really heard of this before.

MagusofStars posted:NTA of course because it’s their kid, but just wondering: Is this a common thing? I'm not sure if it's usually any kind of an official thing, but I know for most of my family that's been born there's usually a few weeks gap between the birth and anyone coming to see them. At least a couple times the first time anyone saw them was at the christening.

MagusofStars posted:NTA of course because it’s their kid, but just wondering: Is this a common thing? Under normal circumstances I've seen both. Some people are "come see the baby, SEE MY BABY NOW!" and some people are like "poo poo, right now its a never ending carousel of piss, poo poo, puke and screaming. Also the baby. Give us some time to get our poo poo together". And of course, people are allowed to change their minds too, so I've seen people in the "leave us alone" camp decide that their new routine settled in faster than they were expecting, and they could do with a couple of visitors, and I've seen the "Why havent you seen my loving baby yet??? DO YOU WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN?" people get burned out and need some time just the new family. In short, people are a land of contrasts.

Ordinarily I think it would be cruel not to let her see her grandchild for that long but, a) pandemic and b) the grandma is so out of line here that I kind of suspect they have good reason to want to keep some distance from her.

Given that she's the sort of person to tell the parents that they're clueless and they'll need her to tell them what to do, the family insistence that they need time to learn how to be parents by themselves makes absolutely perfect sense.

AITA For no longer making my husband sandwiches to take to work after discovering he was selling them?quote:My F33 husband M37 works at an advertising company. We're struggling a bit financially because we're saving up to purchase a new aprtment. He is used to eating fast food and it was costly. He had no problem spending money daily on fast food and after doing the math he spends mor than 300 a month on just fast food. 20$ daily. We live in expensive area. I talked to him about it. He agreed that I make sandwiches for him to take with him to work. E: lol quote:Yes. I couldn't help but feel that it was disrespectful of him. He ignored that I make so much efforts trying to make him a veriety of sandwiches. And taking time at night to prepare everything. Not to mention going to the grocery store and buying the things he prefers. He makes about 15$ a day by selling sandwiches and goes to buy his lunch from the restaurant. He said I shouldn't feel mad since he's making his own money to buy his own lunch. But I'm not accepting what he did. I'm hurt and I wish he understood how I felt.

Now I think of it I had a friend who did the no visiting for a few months thing during normal days, but it was planned and timed with her maternity leave. First it would just be mom and dad for a month. Then when dad had to go back to work, grandma would come and visit for a month as a live in baby sitter. Then she would leave and auntie would come in for a bit and so on. So basically they got half a year to acclimate to being parents with plenty of support during the roughest times. Families coming together. What a wonderful silver lining in this hellscape country little or no mandatory maternity/paternity leave.

Man this is a bad take. It's not cruel for *anyone* to ask for some space and time with their baby by themselves after the stress of pregnancy and birth. No one is entitled to visit a baby that is not theirs immediately just because they're excited. Giving birth to a child does not entitle you to grandchildren.

kimbo305 posted:And gave her a Chinese nickname, sure. At face value, all we have is that it's not Mae Mae. I'll cop to that given the text, which makes it especially weird that she'd choose that nickname when it's so incredibly common for young Chinese girls to be called that. Perhaps she meant that Jennifer wasn't the real name - I've seen misplacements of that statement before - or perhaps she found a different, more common Chinese nickname and wasn't sure how to spell it or got an odd spelling. Anyway, it's a distraction: she snooped on her boyfriend's phone, saw some innocuous texts that could have any number of explanations, and leapt to the worst possible conclusion immediately without even bothering to ask a single question. She's an idiot, she's the rear end in a top hat, and the boyfriend dodged one of those giant bullets from Super Mario Bros.
