this one is pure goon bait

AITA for being at breaking point with my husband’s made up language?

quote:

My OH has always been a bit goofy, giving his own names to things and doing impressions. About 18 months ago this started to increase a lot. It’s now a constant presence in our lives and I’m finding it difficult to live with.

Examples: He has his own name for most retail outlets, professionals, organizations… - Eatyourgreens (Walgreens), Sharts & Gobbles (Barnes & Noble)

He has about 30-40 everyday words that he insists on using in place of normal ones… - Skuppers (with a rising whistle at the end) ‘yes’ - Bing (with a descending whistle) ‘no’ - Bagayaya ‘goodnight’

He CONSTANTLY does weird sound impersonations, not like celebrities or characters, but a single noise that’s a made up sound or something childish like a fart from a children’s tv show

He speaks random words like ‘garbage’ or ‘douche bag’ whilst burping or farting

He has made up names for our friends which he uses sometimes even under his breath when we’re out with them - Pam and Will is ‘pig and wig’

I’ve just had enough. We got into bed the other night and I said ‘goodnight’ and he said ‘bagayaya’ in the high pitched voice he always does it in. I snapped and asked why he couldn’t just speak to me normally and he just laughed and came right up close to my face and did it again. His whistling is constant. He speaks to our kid in this stupid language and I’m worried it’s going to confuse normal language development because he changes the words so often. Our toddler could be about to hurt themselves and instead of saying ‘no’ or ‘come here’, he’ll say some ridiculous made up word or sound and then get annoyed when our kid doesn’t know what he wants.

He’s ‘normal’ in other respects, works in finance and is totally professional around his colleagues but different at home. I told him it needs to stop. I don’t mind it occasionally or for fun but it’s all the time and it’s wearing me down. He got upset and said I couldn’t take a joke and that I’m not fun any more. It’s true that I’ve become more irritable and noise averse since we had kids but I’m so worn out and over it and just want him to relate to me like an adult.

Aita for not shaving my pregnant girlfriend?




Dude, if I had another 5+ lbs attached to me, wild pregnancy hormones and couldn’t reach my private parts to at least trim I’d feel like I had constant swamp rear end. Unless I could shower a couple of times a day (and if I can’t shave down there, I’d probably have trouble washing), all that hair would be nothing but a sweat trap.

Nah, he’s deliberately doing it to annoy, and getting mad at a literal toddler while acting like a figurative toddler. Unless we’re ironicposting, in which case she is a wicked stepmother who hates the laughter of (man)children.

Dunno, it could go either way with all these posts. She might be married to a character from The Sims, she might be annoyed and needed an outlet and the only available is Reddit.

How so? I'm not super familiar with it outside of the pop-culture context other than to note that it's more than just screaming "gently caress" randomly, that there are other tics as well, but this doesn't seem like a tic; he got in her face and very deliberately did it as a "power move".

I'm not excusing his poo poo rear end behavior but he could have been embarrassed and trying to save face. The part where he mumbles the friends' nicknames under his breath while they're around is what got me.

not an expert but AFAIK during the critical language acquisition phase kids will hungrily pick up multiple languages without issue, so the kid might use the nonsense words interchangeably with actual words early on but it shouldn't gently caress up acquisition of real language.

I'm sure something like the Manscaped Lawnmower would work too, unless a gendered product like that has a risk of exploding when applied to a vulva, like that guy who thought that a woman using a man's razor would skin herself alive.

Yup, I use a Wahl cordless beard trimmer and it works great. I don't want to shave because of ingrown hairs and cutting myself but I do like trimming and preventing a swamp.

No, we just know how to wash ourselves.

Come on, get out of here with the idea that pubic hair is inherently dirty. It's hair, it's supposed to grow there, it's fashionable to remove it right now but there's no reason to act like choosing to do so makes you better or cleaner.

I believe there is a universal Truth to the process of doing things right (Not that I have any idea what that actually means).
I'm a part of the no shaving someone else's crotch club. Just too much risk there. Wiping a baby's bum is different in that nothing sharp is going near there.

Maybe pay a professional for a wax or trim or something? I'm sure they've done it or seen worse.

For something a bit less crotch oriented, from Dear Abby:


quote:

DEAR ABBY: I was deeply hurt after going to a barbecue at my oldest daughter’s home.

It was to celebrate my granddaughter’s fourth birthday. My daughter’s husband is from Thailand. He barbecued beautiful dishes of shrimp and something that looked like a gigantic crawfish.

While my daughter is accustomed to and enjoys this food, she and her husband are aware that I, my husband, her sister and her niece are not accustomed to it. We simply do not like the flavor and texture.

When I asked my daughter if there were any hot dogs they could grill, at least for my 9-year-old granddaughter, she got angry and said she eats what her husband cooks.

I felt our part of the family was not even being considered. I was hurt for my youngest daughter and my other granddaughter, who had literally nothing to eat that they would even remotely like.

Am I wrong for feeling ignored being invited to a barbecue where my daughter knew all the food being offered were things we wouldn’t like?

1) The food sounds lovely.

2) Abby had the sensible advice of asking to bring more traditional American stuff as sides.

Yeah I think it's this. This kind of garbled language is my couple in-joke with my partner. It's delightful to watch him accidentally own himself by ordering the "guh-natchi" at a nice restaurant and the waiter looks at him funny.

If not being served hotdogs at an asian person's barbecue is all it takes to be "deeply hurt," then this person has bigger problems at play that aren't going to be fixed by an advice column.

That aside, when I know that people are coming over and that they won't like a food, I will serve multiple things that will appeal to most people. I mean, the adults can suck it up but when I know kids are coming over, I try to make stuff that they will like. ESH
