AITA for falling into my child's trap?

A former co-worker told me he and his (now former) wife always thought their son was really stupid but turned out he was almost deaf. Welp that's my child with bad hearing story thanks for reading.

e: Apropos one of the kid's favourite pastimes apart from the Disney Channel was running at full speed and punching people in the nuts. Got me good one time. I guess telling him "do not punch people in the nuts!" over and over again didn't do much since he didn't hear it.

I hope he got the help he needed, the sound adds a lot to the humor when you nut punch someone

Last I saw him he had a hearing aid, but I didn't stick around to find out if he had changed hobbies.

How long did it take them to realize their child was almost deaf? My mother in law says she's pretty sure my husband was unable to hear for about two weeks after his birth, because he didn't react to sounds. Then his hearing activated and he was screaming at every single sound. So if the kid was old enough to run around and punch people in the dick, that seems a bit long.

Like 5 inthink?

After a certain point there's a definite challenge aspect to spicy food, no matter what country you are from. I don't think that's wrong though, the same is true of hiking, horror movies, almost anything we do for fun that has endorphins involved.

No-one except WASPs thinks WASP "hot" food is edible.

Same goes for meat that isn't cooked to WASP "well done". Everyone else just thinks it isn't cooked.

I think you mean slightly more humane, but yeah nah of course not.

e: I never actually thought about it, but the Box of Motherhood is (and was originally intended to be) also a way to get expectant mothers into the pre-natal healthcare system, as you need to be registered at a neuvola or a doctor to get it or the 170€.

Protein is literally poison for your body, eat porridge!

Obviously it's not. A balanced breakfast would have protein and fibre, for you know, reasons.

There's Mormons and then there's Mormons, and both (or, more accurately, all) of them consider the other kind(s) of Mormons to not really be Mormons.

In short, Mormonism is a religion.
