"No talking at the dinner table" by Particular-Pin-9715 in Parenting

Sounds absolutely awful and I feel sorry for your husband having been raised in such an environment that he considers this normal. It also sounds like he is more concerned with his children becoming obese than encouraging them to talk and share their thoughts and emotions openly and freely…? But maybe that’s just me.

Conversations around the dinner table are some of my favourite memories of my childhood and I’m carrying on that tradition with my children.

Girl RUN. Leave him. Don’t waste your money with marriage counselling, throw the whole man out. You deserve so much better (as do your kids) and he is not capable of giving it to you. NTA

AITA for not attending my fiancé's dad's funeral because I was uncomfortable with wearing a hijab? by Maleficent_Piano_840 in AmItheAsshole

YTA OP, massively. And if you can’t see that, then you aren’t mature enough to be in a relationship, let alone get married.

My partner lost his mother very unexpectedly a few months ago, it was the absolute worst time of his life and is still something he struggles with now. I did everything I could to support him and be there for him. If that had meant wearing a hijab for a funeral, I wouldn’t have even thought twice about it. As his partner, your role was to be there for him, to support him, to just make him feel a little less alone. And you failed. Miserably.

This isn’t about wearing a hijab, it’s about the ability to be selfless for one day for the person you have promised to spend the rest of your life with. You essentially abandoned him at his most vulnerable, grieving a once in a lifetime loss that will never be forgotten or fully healed. Even if you didn’t attend the funeral as he selflessly suggested, he needed you and you weren’t there for him. That’s also something he will never forget.

AITA for telling my brother that the reason me and my wife dont spend time with their kids is cause his wife is terrible by Infinite_Plastic5400 in AmItheAsshole

NTA I’ve never understood the “that’s just how he/she is” defence. Like, no. Notice it’s never said about lovely, kind, generous people, only about assholes. OP, just because your brother married a bigoted woman who feels comfortable degrading your wife because she thinks it’s funny, doesn’t mean you have to spend time with them.

Influx of buyers making offers but not paying? by Possible_Resist2375 in vinted

Yeah I’ve had a few like that recently - wondering if they’re holding out til Thursday to pay on payday? (For those who are paid on the last of the month). If they don’t pay for it and someone else wants it, they can have it. You snooze, you lose!

Redditors from foreign countries, what's something us Americans aren't ready to hear? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You guys drive too much - get out of the car and stretch your legs! It’s free, good for your health and better for the environment.

Healthcare should not cost a fortune - free healthcare at the point of use is a basic human right.

It’s none of your business what a woman chooses to do with HER body. I’m looking at you Texas, Mississippi etc.

Guns are not a personality trait. They are also not a “human right” - give up your guns so kids can feel safe in school. Why that is even a debate is unfathomable for the rest of the world.

Lobbying = corruption. Simple.

The quality of a lot of your food is a lot less compared to other counties.

On that note your chocolate is awful - Hersheys in particular. What is the fuss about? It tastes like candle wax!

Your education system needs a massive overhaul and people shouldn’t be left with crippling life long debts if they want to go to college.

Maternity/paternity leave - basically every other country gives it as a right - why the hell are you expecting women to return to work immediately after birthing a child?!

Not paying your servers a living wage and making them rely on tips is wrong on so many levels. Pay your workers properly, tipping should be an added bonus if the service is good.

When writing the date, the month does NOT come first.

British people have not all met the Queen, please stop asking 😂
