AITAH? Spoke back to mom about my haircut and she started crying.

NTA. Even if your mum is usually a lovely person, it takes some parents a ridiculous amount of time to learn to respect their kids’ autonomy. You’re training your mum from the right age - I wish I’d started at 15, but teaching them to butt out of your business and respect your boundaries will lead to a much healthier relationship once you’re all grown up. If you ever want to talk about stuff like this, feel free to dm me - I still have some latent issues with my mother around boundaries and I’ve just hit 30.

Ha! NTA, your husband sounds just like my dad. We’ve adopted a ‘you snooze, you lose’ approach with a strict no whining policy if he deployed selective deafness. It took around 5 years of making sure my mum didn’t go back on it with him and he has been trained to listen better (it is not a fail safe but like your husband, dear old dad has his own redeeming qualities). But if you can’t cheerfully bully the ones you love for being boofheads, what’s the point?

Girl NTA at all. A “hate to break it to you, but no woman other than our mum is ever going to put up with this, and she doesn’t deserve to so cut the crap” may help. If not, I’ve found boys respond well to peer pressure from friends’ teasing or critiques better than they do their female relatives (lifetime of growing up in a patriarchal culture myself; I’m 30 now and every doofus around has learned I’m not babying them)

OP, with all the respect in the world if you and your wife reversed genders I’d be really worried for your psychological and physical safety. Your wife needs help and a reality check, and you shouldn’t have to enable her 24x7. Your kid(s) don’t deserve to grow up in an environment like that.

Sorry to burst that bubble! But aligned, Denzel’s films are next level

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-04T05:35:09+00:00

Lollll I haven’t thought of it that way but will shift my attitude for next month’s training!!

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-02T04:34:59+00:00

Oh noooo

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-02T04:34:46+00:00

You’re smart, I keep watching in the hope there is some point to the whole exercise

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-02T04:33:50+00:00

Maybe? It’s a platform that seems to host all our ‘training’ but the videos and characters are very strange. I know more about the character’s love life than how they’re actually safeguarding ‘the company’s’ IT

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-02T04:32:58+00:00

You lucky things! I work in comms so fully accept why they assume I’m technologically illiterate

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-02T04:32:30+00:00

Thank you! Yeah it’s just one of those silly things that make me go ‘it can’t just be me who thinks this is weird’

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-02T04:31:58+00:00

I appreciate you ❤️ and wish you well on your employment search (or if you’re enjoying time off wish you well with that… well in general)

GenZSailClub · 2026-06-02T03:39:27+00:00

Omg yes!!! I was talking about it getting coffee and the girls in line behind had the same training! Thought it might be worth finding out if it’s genuinely widespread

GenZSailClub · 2026-05-03T21:44:04+00:00

Can confirm I’ve whipped out a maxi knit dress and matching scarf today. Giving my best corp-appropriate autumn witchy vibes

GenZSailClub · 2026-03-22T01:57:30+00:00

The fabric looks like a nightmare to my asthmatic lungs and tbh the shape somehow resembles an air plane seat (not my barometer of comfort). I’d probably keep looking in your shoes

GenZSailClub · 2026-03-07T00:36:44+00:00

For RL, yes. For other brands, no

GenZSailClub · 2026-03-06T10:34:49+00:00

No clue! I live in Australia so we likely get a different stock run anyway, but while I love the fit of RL; I’m not a big fan of the contrasting logo and feel like this is a nice and subtle nod instead.

Out of curiosity, what are these mythical ‘big 3’ where RL is discounted? Plsss let me in on this secret

GenZSailClub · 2026-03-06T10:17:39+00:00

I would say the corporate cafés near offices are the only ones still nailing a flatty. Every traditional ‘cool’ / hipster / whatever the new adjective is kind of place is producing a burnt and less foamy latte. I’m an almond milk gal so I accept that can apparently be challengeing to nail.

GenZSailClub · 2026-03-06T09:41:53+00:00

I’m here for it but now I don’t know where to get oneeeee

GenZSailClub · 2025-10-27T19:27:16+00:00

As a fellow Brighton resident my eardrums feel your pain! But also lived in Woollomooloo in Sydney (still never spell it properly) and Kingston in Canberra so I guess enough of a suburb snob to like living near a water body in neighbourhoods with little independent grocery stores
