uh mongolians eat a lot of cheese dude. specifically i'm talking about china here. the fact that cheese and dairy are a food of steppe nomads is probably another reason it didn't really become a staple of the traditional han diet, and cheese is a food which is totally central to many western (and asian!) cuisines but is entirely loving weird from other perspectives because you make it by letting milk sit in a cave until it gets moldy and smells like rear end. picky eaters exist all over, we don't need to proclaim that the seven year old just needs to harden up and start eating fish eyes

Kids in China being picky eaters is an endemic complaint. Its a natural trait of people, and parents can wean them off of those behaviors, but its not something exclusive to the west. My brother in law basically only ate steamed buns and congee until he was 6 or 7 because he was a picky as hell eater.

AITA for thinking my husband should share perks with the family?

quote:

I am a sahm. My husband owns his own business. I support him as best I can, and do practically everything outside of work a paying job/pay the bills. I am given x amount a month for food or anything family related. Theres rarely any "my personal money" left, So I can't really save if I want something.

Whenever the business does well, or because of the line of work he's in... It comes with perks and windfalls, Maybe in the form of tickets somewhere, to international business+leisure trips, points to spend in certain shops, or just straight up sizeable extra earnings.

In a 3 year span he has:

traveled internationally (few days business, then extends a few days for leisure) 4 times.

Bought himself designer shoes, watches and sunglasses.

Bought himself a luxury sports car, 5 x the cost of the family car.

Had numerous nights out and experiences, shows, dinners, box seats, etc.

The latest thing that prompted this post was this morning he says "these points on xyz account were going to expire so I just bought myself......"

And I zoned out. Immediately frustrated. Bought myself..... bought myself.....

It ended up being ~$200 worth of stuff.

"Did you even think about anything we (being myself or kids) might want or need?"

"they're MY points. I earned them. If you had points maybe you'd get something too!"

I retaliate "I don't have the ability to earn myself ANYTHING remember? We agreed on this dynamic? And have discussed several times that it still works for the family? So no, I do not have ANY ability to earn anything and it all has to come from YOU, so stop pretending 'earn your own poo poo' is a valid argument because it doesn't apply here"

He stormed off mumbling he deserves it and he rarely does anything for himself.

I'm seeing a total disconnect between that statement and all the things he does and gets....

... When my days are spent living frugally and practically in subservience. It's hard to see someone frequently getting the things they want and I don't get to advance or share in the benefits of something we as a family unit helped create.

I don't want all of it. I rarely even want things anyways.... But the fact it just immediately goes to him frustrates and devalues me. I asked to upgrade the family car and suddenly "it's not as simple as that. Wait 6 months and I'll see" that was 2 years ago.

I feel fully justified, then he makes me feel like the world's biggest ungrateful spoilt rear end in a top hat. Hes right, we have a stable home, we are fortunate in many many ways, I am thankful I get to raise our children and be there for the little moments. And he's right.... I don't earn money. How can I want things when I don't earn anything?

I'm the first to admit he works harder and has a more difficult time than I do, definitely. So if he's fulfilling his duty as a provider, shouldn't he get to keep the extra perks? Then why do I feel so left behind, lesser, and powerless over my own life?

Am I the rear end in a top hat for thinking he should share bonuses?

I think its fair to say that there's some economic element to it, like if you gave an old Indian person who lived through the partition or the Bengal famine (like my grandparents!), cheese pasta, they'd eat it albeit grudgingly, but as economies open up and different cuisines become more easily available, more affluent families are definitely going to display picky eating (based on what is *weird* in their culture) as a result of not having food anxiety.

Makes sense to me. Indians don't have a rule against milk/cheese, though. Paneer is pretty common in north Indian cooking for example. I was talking about asian asians, who are lactose intolerant.

AITA for telling my GF to quit using Lysol wipes to wipe her rear end?

quote:

After washing my face I threw my cotton pads in the garbage and a brown stained cloth caught my eye - it looked like it was stashed underneath all the other trash and if you ask me I think it was purposefully hidden. We’ve been running out of Lysol wipes (we have the antimicrobial kind) really quickly but I chalked that up to us obsessively wiping all the surfaces so I didn’t think much of it till now. Upon further inspection with gloves and while holding my breath there was a big pile of the same brown stained porous cloths that looked just like the Lysol wipes.

I knew this might be a difficult topic to broach so I tried to do it gently. I casually asked if she’s noticed our wipes seem to be running out quickly. I then asked if she’s been using them for anything frivolous and she started to get defensive, saying no and asking why I’d ask her that. I cut right to the chase and said that I found some Lysol wipes in the bathroom bin and asked if she’s been using them to wipe. Uncomfortable conversation for many, I know. She looked away and admitted to it in an embarrassed voice. When I pressed further, her reasoning is that it gets the job done better than regular TP because she has to keep wiping and wiping and wiping but with the wipes she’s only got to wipe a few times before everything’s ok.

Look, I’m not the smartest tool in the shed but theres’s no way that those things are good for your nether regions. I said why don’t we just get baby wipes/flushable wipes, she said that’s pointless because the Lysol wipes can be dual purpose which saves money. I proposed investing in a bidet and she said that’s pointless and we might not even be able to do that because we’re renting and idk if our landlady would be able to allow us to, which is a fair point. But I just can’t get over it. I told her that she should stop it because we need it for other, better things and she said I should quit being controlling and leave her alone because she’s doing nothing wrong. I just can’t let it go though. This is so bizarre. Surely I’m not the only one who feels this way?
I can't wait for the roni posts about what people use as toilet paper to get worse in a month.

I guess it does seem that way (taking sides).

But I just don't think it's pushing a belief to see symbols/writing about it on a bag that you can completely ignore with no consequences.

I'd agree with you if it was a boss putting his personal beliefs into stuff at work.

The OP can just throw it away. Or never shop there again. Or call them and tell them why he's never shopping there again.

Instead he's refusing to even eat the food because he believes some words, that he doesn't even believe, written on the bag make it haraam.

AITA for moving my [26m] girlfriend’s [24f] doll out of our bedroom?

quote:

My girlfriend, who I’ll call Jess, and I have been together for 2.5 years. We moved into an apartment together in August of 2019 and everything has been great. We rarely fight and if we do, it’s just insignificant bickering over small things. I even plan to propose to her soon, and we have discussed marriage and kids more than once in the past.

Jess has a doll that her late grandmother passed down to her. She always has it on display because it reminds her of her and “brings her peace” (her words). The doll never bothered me much, besides it being a little creepy; I’m freaked out by dolls and clowns and the like. It was a bit uncanny that it was always in her room staring at us while we had sex and slept, but she was adamant on not moving it and I let it go because it was her room and her apartment. However, since we’ve been living together, I’ve started pressing her more about moving the doll. She keeps it in the corner of our bedroom facing perpendicular to our bed, so it’s not looking straight at us (a compromise we made) but it still makes me uncomfortable at times. For example, I’ll walk into the room or walk out of the bathroom and forget that the doll is there, and it will scare the hell out of me.

I work at a pharmacy and she works at a grocery store so we’re both essential workers. Today when I came home from work, the doll was now on the other side of our bedroom, facing our bed. Since she was at work, I didn’t ask before moving it to the living room, just outside the bedroom door against the wall. I took a shower and a half hour nap, and woke up to her shaking me and asking me why I moved her doll. I told her I didn’t want it staring at me while I slept, and told her she shouldn’t have moved it to where it faces the bed. She should have known not to do that since we compromised on it before. She burst into tears, called me a “loving inconsiderate rear end in a top hat,” grabbed the doll, and left the apartment. It’s been three hours and I have no idea where she is. I’ve called her phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I’ve called her sister, her best friend, and her mom and none of them have heard from her. I’m starting to get really concerned and I feel extremely guilty at this point. If she isn’t home by morning, her mom and I are going to try and file a missing persons report.

AITA for moving her doll?

Tl;dr: I moved my girlfriend’s doll from our room to the living room while she was at work and she got mad and left, haven’t heard from her in hours, I feel like a complete rear end in a top hat

ETA: I should add something that may be significant: the doll is not small. It’s about the size of a 5 or 6 year old child. It is also flexible, as in it can be positioned.

WIBTA For Requesting a Refund After An Employee Wrote Bible Verses All Over My Takeout?

Okay this is weird. My husband and I ordered door dash tonight and we requested from a small restaurant in town. The thing is, EVERY takeout item they wrote some sort of Bible verse. Upon looking on their website they don't appear to be overly religious. I just think it's really messed up to push your religion on someone like that and I wish I would've ordered elsewhere. What do you guys think? Was this over the top and I'm justified in requesting a refund?

Edit: since a lot of people have asked. No I have not eaten the food. I would never eat food and then request a refund that is an automatic AH in my book.

don't request a refund, it's just a pain in everyone's rear end and could strengthen the verse writer's belief that they're fighting a culture war. No good would come of it

if the Bible verse is something innocuous like "be good" then stop being a baby

if the Bible verse is some hateful poo poo don't buy there again

I get that there are larger cultural concerns surrounding evangelicals pushing hard to reify their lovely beliefs into US law, but I feel like "wrote Bible verses on packaging" is about the same level of "pushing religion on you" as "included images of Doritos as part of a promotion."

Like, it'd be weird for someone to hand-draw a Doritos logo on all your packaging, but they're not like denying you the food unless you say "Doritos rule!" or saying they'll only serve Doritos eaters or covering your food in crumbled Doritos.

Again, writing Bible verses on someone's packaging is really weird and definitely trying to advertise their religion, but it's an exaggeration to call it "pushing," as though it were forcing you to participate beyond seeing words some doofus thinks are important.

(I'd still have talked to a higher up about it because that's weird and kind of offputting.)

About that dude feeding his kids offal,

It takes a giant rear end in a top hat to go from not being able to cook to jumping straight into exotic meats and offal without learning the basics. Either he's buying garbage ingredients for cheap which no one should be eating anyways, or he's wasting a ton of money on sourcing ingredients that he's essentially flushing down the drain by not being able to prepare it properly. I've been doing the amateur cook thing for 20 years now, and am quite successful at it, and I wouldn't bother wasting money on planning a week's dinner like day 1 - offal, day 2 - Sundae, day 3 - alligator meat, day 4 incredibly spicy Rogan Josh. No one, not even adults, wants to eat that poo poo every moment of every day. A well made steak and salad goes a long way.

Not to mention a good chef doesn't need a gimmick to make good food
