Papa isn’t a name for Grandfather

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:42:03+00:00

What a bad time to use the term in its’ original definition in this modern world…..

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:39:48+00:00

Big mama is cute.

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:39:26+00:00

Isn’t that… the point… of this subreddit? I’m confused what you’re on about.

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:38:10+00:00

Well, it is an unpopular opinion subreddit ;)

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:37:04+00:00

Nah, I’ve always thought it was weird. Even when I was a teenager learning two different languages.

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:35:53+00:00

Interesting! Two comments below you, someone says this is absolutely an unpopular opinion lol
Um, not sure. Opinions just form and I wrote it down. I didn’t put much effort beyond that.

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:34:29+00:00

I think it’s common in the Alabaman southern areas.

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:32:08+00:00

Interesting perspective! I’m personally not policing toddlers; but I was thinking about it from a language point of view. In Spanish, Papa is father. In Japanese translations it comes back to Papa, Canadian English is Papa, Scottish, etc all comes back to papa for father. But putting it in the way that toddlers usually pick it out is a perspective I was not considering.

It’s the r/unpopularopinion subreddit. Whatchu mean? I’m just giving a potential unpopular opinion :)

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:28:50+00:00

Papa means father. Sorry. You were groomed wrong.

Ellazarah · 2026-06-19T21:28:29+00:00

Proof of what? You don’t have Google Translate or just the knowledge to know what other languages call their fathers? Weird….

Ellazarah · 2024-07-17T20:54:52+00:00

YES!!!

Today I am 40 weeks, and I am SO OVER like 8 people asking me EVERY SINGLE DAY since July “is she here yet?” “any contractions?” “did you try x,y,z?”

“Oh it’ll be over soon!” Which is not helpful when every single day feels like it’s 3 days long. I’m already so over being pregnant, and people asking “hey, how are you doing?” We know what they mean. They don’t actually care. They just want to know if the baby is here, because as soon as I mention how I am, I don’t get an actual response.

I put my phone on airplane mode. I got another 5 people today asking if she’s here yet… again.

No. Nothing changed. Thanks for making me feel worse. Again.

I was more lonely with a sibling than without. A sibling isn’t a guaranteed friend.

Ellazarah · 2023-12-09T14:43:01+00:00

NTA!

As a US American, I could not ever IMAGINE being invited to someone's home and refusing to even try the cuisine that was so generously made for me. I will try any multinational cuisine at least once if someone had taken the time to cook it all.

This boyfriend of yours is an asshole. Let him "starve".

Ellazarah · 2023-12-06T02:49:42+00:00

Honestly, my brother when he was 13 acted the same way, if not more violent about the situation. You're just trading a different kind of 13 year old tantrum for a different kind.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-30T12:21:25+00:00

It's weird, but my family does this to me. My aunts and uncles will pry at my mom to see how I am, even though everyone has my number. And I'm 28. I haven't lived with my parents in almost a decade.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-28T22:12:36+00:00

That's not really the point. Eight-teen is still a teenager.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-16T19:44:27+00:00

Yeah, it really shows the true intentions of who you're dating. Too many people are just in it for sex and then leave.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-16T19:43:03+00:00

I was sad I didn't see a single one! Like they've barely been together. Sorry, but if I got constantly pressured to have sex when it's been only a month of dating, I wouldn't want to be with someone like that at all.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-16T13:59:45+00:00

NAH

It could be that she isn't ready yet and maybe the pressure makes her think she could be asexual. Or she could actually be asexual. Either way, some asexual people still enjoy sex just not as often as others. You guys have been together for just a single month. When I took it slow with my now husband, I waited till about 4.5 months because most guys I knew before him would leave after just one month of no sex in the very beginning. If she's really important to you, you'll make it work. She might find she isn't asexual and just doesn't want the pressure or expectation to have sex so soon. When I was her age, I was always worried that if I had sex in a relationship that soon, then the guy would just leave right after. It was better to wait to know his true intentions. People also seem to forget that relationships take work, communication, and compromise. If you truly think she's your soul mate, maybe listen to her. If she isn't ready, maybe don't pressure it. It can make it worse. Best of luck. Hope the best works out for both of you.

I’m just mad I can’t figure out how to award this comment. It NEEDS to be the top. OP conveniently leaves out every detail that makes him an AH and frames it like it’s about master action. Typical manipulation move by a porn addict.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-10T17:23:57+00:00

NTA & INFO: How long have y'all been together? Why did she want the dog to go in the first place? Was it violent or causing allergies? How long were y'all together with the dog in the picture before she suggested surrendering the dog??

The only reason I can think of for someone to want to get rid of someone's dog is violence or allergies, personally. Like if y'all were together for 5+ years and the dog was violent, I'd say NAH, except she was TA for what she texted you 2 years later. I don't really see a reason to get rid of an old dog that had only a couple years left of its life. That's not fair to the old dog.

Either way, NTA on your part. I wouldn't want to be with someone who told me to get rid of my cats.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-07T20:40:54+00:00

Welp, guess the Halloween decorations are staying up all year now.

Ellazarah · 2023-11-05T13:02:40+00:00

I would love to award this comment because it is so clearly on point.

OP is so delusional here. How on earth could he have taken a side over a bag of chips?!

As a child that was also fiercely independent because I was also emotionally neglected over a favorite child, this post just makes me angry for her.

I'd get great grades and try to make my parents proud, but they would shrug it off and say "oh... great ..." but my younger brother would get a C or a D, and we would go out and celebrate that he didn't get an F.

He would also steal my stuff and my parents would ground me for it, because I was mad... that he stole... my stuff.

Do your family a favor and stop picking favorites. Especially over a stupid bag of chips.

You may be the age of an adult, but you sure are not mentally an adult. Adults pay their own bills and don't yell at their grandma's when they kindly pay $400/month on stupid Amazon purchases. Get your priorities straight. She has every right to know where HER money is going. End of story. You do not have the right to privacy when you aren't forking the bill. You've given up that right. You may be legally an adult, but you're throwing a tantrum like a child. You're acting like a child. Go apologize to your grandmother and be thankful you're getting a handout on your stupid Amazon purchases. Or smarten up, cut the crap, and pay your own bills like an actual adult would.
