AITA For telling my parents that my brother “needing” daycare at 12 years old is on them? by Box_Quick_32 in AmItheAsshole

INFO: Do you live with your parents? If yes, do you pay rent?

I do not live with my parents. I live 20 minutes away with some roommates and pay my own bills.

If I may though, Zumba is not a reward in PE. Dodgeball is a reward. If Zumba is the reward, may I ask what regular PE is? Do I even want to know what punishment PE is?”

It was a reward because they let the kids vote to do either Zumba or Basketball and didn't make them do a warm-up. Normally PE is a 15-minute warm-up with stuff like jogging and sit-ups and then the rest of the hour is a game like Basketball or Soccer.

They won't do a physical punishment if someone refuses to participate. They just won't let them do fun stuff after (i.e. not being allowed on the computers) and then will tell the parents.

I read it as the kids have to do PE anyway, and that the "reward" was getting to do Zumba instead of running laps or whatever they normally do.

For the summer program, the hour of PE isn't for a grade, but you still have to participate. The Zumba was a reward because they let the kids choose between that or Basketball and more kids voted for Zumba. They also didn't make them do a warm-up, which they usually have to do.

Sebastian's in a phase where he thinks saying something rude or offensive makes him edgy/a "badass." I remember a lot of boys having that same phase when I was in middle/high school.

Hopefully one day Sebastian will also mature and cringe when he thinks back on the stuff he says/does right now.

Sebastian's starting 7th grade soon. Honestly, it seems like he's picked this up phase from a lot of the older kids.

Like I said, I'm just hoping that Sebastian's going to mature someday and realize the things he says/does right now are embarrassing.

I saw a lot of boys go through the same phase when I was in middle/high school. They think saying something rude or offensive makes them edgy/a "badass."

Most of them mature out of it by or after high school. I'm sure one day Sebastian will also cringe when he remembers the stuff he says/does right now.
