They aren't eating them after a little taste and he's making them a PB&J instead. Doesn't sound like much of a favor. :shrug:

It does say they're a good sport about tasting them, so it's not like they aren't even trying them. But if they're not gonna eat it and end up eating PB&J for a week, maybe make something your kids will eat.

They ate the risotto fine. They "absolutely would not finish" the sweetbread. It isn't "they chose another thing" it's "they refused to eat any of it and so I gave them something else."

AITA for not letting my roommate's boyfriend into the apartment?

quote:

My roommate works late night shifts, so she often sleeps during the day. Me, I am doing online classes, but for various reasons my schedule tends to be unpredictable - sometimes I'm nocturnal, sometimes I'm not. This is well known.

​My roommate's boyfriend likes to come over while she's sleeping and cuddle with her while she's asleep. She knows it, she's fine with it, it's happened before. She thinks it's romantic.

​Usually, I don't care one way or the other what they do. But the one thing I requested was some warning before he comes over. I've let him in while she's sleeping before, but that's when he texts me first to say he's coming and gives me time to at least make sure I have pants on.

​A few minutes ago, the buzzer went off. I ignored it because we don't usually let people in without notice and the people down the hall tend to have parties where they ring the wrong door anyway. I didn't realize it was the boyfriend until he starts trying to call me on messenger. I didn't answer, because I'm "asleep." So he keeps buzzing, which is setting the dog off, which is going to wake my roommate, which I think is pretty loving thoughtless of him since she works at night.

​I *could* have gone to open the door anyway, as it's not his fault my schedule is erratic and I don't wear many clothes in my own room. I could have done it just so she wouldn't be woken up. But all I asked for was warning and I didn't get any warning.

​AITA for not letting him in?

This is experimentally valid if you maintain a second family, to act as a control group.

Sweatbreads are lamb pancreases (or something like that), it's a big loving jump for a 7 and 5 year old to go from maybe a steak and veg the mom probably cooked as an equivalent, to a nice mushroom risotto, to eating offal.

If I did that to my 5 year old took a bite of it and then said he didn't like it I'd be 100% OK with that and praise him for trying.

Kids will always try and do picky eater poo poo but its only tolerated by westerners because there's a non zero chance the kids are smarter than their parents.

Thats why I said it's a big jump to go from eating typical western diet (steak and veg, risotto) to offal......

If they' been eating offal since before they could talk it wouldn't even be a reddit post.

Yeah, just for the stuff they’re used to and like. People from Asian countries, for instance, will sometimes travel to Western ones with a bunch of instant noodles in their suitcases so they don’t have to eat Western food.

No. This is a western problem. Here, instead of having to eat an animal's organs, our poor eat garbage like chicken tendies and corn syrup so develop a taste for it when they're young, and if their parents are the kinds of people who post in r/relationships, they are never shepherded out of it.

That's adults, though. Asian kids don't pull the "picky eater" poo poo because their parents will not indulge them.

AITA for asking my wife's friend to breast feed in another room? or to cover up?

This happened a bit ago, my wife's friend was over our house and we were having my daughter's birthday party. My wife's friend was breast feeding her 3 year old son.

We had a lot of people over, and I don't know a proper way of saying it, but when she was breast feeding her son there were a lot of times where her breasts were just completely uncovered. Like she wasn't breast feeding normally at all. Her son would walk away and she would leave herself exposed.

I offered her our guest room that we have on the ground floor of the house if she wants privacy. I even offered her a towel. She insisted that she was okay. I told her I was like hey can you please do a better job of covering up.

​She flipped out on me, her husband without saying anything just got their daughter from my daughter's room and left. I don't see myself as the rear end in a top hat here, in that a lot of people were uncomfortable. I don't have a problem with breast feeding really it is just have some decency.

In my very limited experience mothers who breastfeed walking, talking children are also incredibly aggro about policing others' perception of how weird it is.

Cooking Papa should set aside like one or two days a week for experimental cooking and the rest of the days tone it the gently caress down. Like, it's an excellent idea to give your kids a variety of foods, but also let them have some options other than "totally out there" and "PBJs"

My housemate seems to be a fairly decent cook but she's a horrible baker because she insists on baking 'healthy' 'chocolate' cakes and slices which don't contain any sugar or cocoa because she uses dates and other alternative ingredients, and then she overbakes them so they come out stodgy and burnt. I'm sure they're healthy as gently caress but they taste pretty bad. They sure as hell don't taste like chocolate.

She went to a fair bit of trouble recently baking me a mini :airquote: chocolate :airquote: cake for my birthday and I tried really hard to eat it because she obviously tried really hard but in the end it turned into that sketch where Mr Bean mistakenly orders steak tartare at a restaurant:

He [28M] says he doesnt ever have time for me [23F] and wont define us. Should I leave?

quote:

Been dating a man since jan. It was the best month ever but after my bday in feb it all went downhill. Weve had some arguments and I know I put too much effort in. He refuses to define us, and cited the virus as why as things are moving too fast in the world for him to define.

He works a gov. classified job and he is working 16 hrs a day due to the virus. So we barely talk. Asked yesterday if someday we could video chat. He said no because he is too busy.

How am I expected to wait around for months when he wont define us? My masters degree program ends in sept. and I will most likely return to my home country then if I cant get a job ( odds aernt high). ive not seen him for almost 2 months.

Should I leave? I feel jealous that other girls with their SO's talk at least daily, even though they cant be physically together due to circumstances.
tl;dr: He wont define us and has no time for me. Should I leave?
