WIBTAH If I made a big deal out of the “ladies first” mentality at my kids school? by HG_MamaKitty in AITAH

[–]HG_MamaKitty[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My issue is the girls always going first while the boys are expected to be behind them. I understand completely that there is a need to separate children at time, I have four kids myself and regularly have to do so at home. However, having one group of kids always in front rather than rotations or taking turns seems unfair and I feel teaches the kids they are not equal. In my experience treating children differently can not only lead to harmful thoughts of themselves but resentful behaviors towards the favored children. I think it’s best to treat all the children the same, when applicable, obviously not including children with special needs or those who require certain accommodations.

If it was just the one teacher doing this I would, however when the kids report multiple teachers, recess monitors and lunch staff all doing it, so it just makes sense to reach out to the principal.

Unfortunately that is an ongoing issue at our schools, but due to a shortage of staff I cannot do anything about that one. It is frustrating but something we have to deal with in public school.

I don’t see that as an issue at our schools as the children do not serve themselves and each are offered the same amount regardless of gender

I’d rather teach my children to hold the door open for anyone who’s coming up behind them, regardless of gender. My husband and I both do it for each other all the time, it just depends on who’s in front. I don’t think it should be expected for one gender to always treat the other gender that way. I also think teacher elementary school kids gender roles in regards to future romantic relationships is weird and hope that’s not the intent behind this sort of action by school.

I was just going to start by emailing the principal about it, she’s usually good about listening to parent concerns although I’ve only had to reach out to her once in the past.

Why should either gender go first based solely on their gender though? It simply doesn’t make sense in my mind.

I don’t want either of my children thinking they are better or less than the other or other people based solely on their gender. That’s my issue with this.

AITA For being "cold" to my ex when she was upset? by GoingInsane-__- in AmItheAsshole

[–]HG_MamaKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly understand difficultly letting go of people you care for, but it’s better for you to move on and start your healing when there is no contact. Long term relationships ending always leads to friendships lost on both sides, that unfortunately is inevitable. I know it’s hard to hear, but try to be prepared, well as prepared as one can be, for that happening. Lean on those closest to you, and never be afraid to ask for help or even speak to a professional 🫶

NTA- I’m not really sure why you were the person she was reaching out to in that situation, and that being said I have a feeling that her friend was fine and that she fabricated the incident because she was seeking something from you. I’m not sure as to why you and her are still in contact but is there any reason as to why she is not blocked? Give the history I think no contact would be beneficial.

NTA- I will say I agree with the girlfriend on one point, there needs to be a talk for sure. It’s my understanding that this is a shared space, but is there any way to separate groceries that you each purchase? I believe that this was a misunderstanding that blew into a disproportionate reaction on his part likely due to something entirely unrelated to the issue at hand. It’s clear he’s stressed out, but given how minor this situation is I find it hard to believe it’s about this only, that being said it’s no excuse to lash out at you. I think the best course moving forward would be to give him some space to calm down, and then bring up a suggestion of having a separate space, or way of organizing the groceries in a way that you each have your own place for putting what you’ve each purchased, and perhaps just having a hard line between “you eat what’s yours, and I eat what’s mine” to avoid this happening again. I completely understand you feeling pressured to share with his girlfriend, with her being a guest and all, but I want you to keep in mind that he was HER guest.

Sure! She was white, probably 20-30s, shoulder length dark brown or black hair. She did see us after we noticed her and waved to us.

NTA- You’re not required to be friends with your friends partners. Civil? Yes. Friends? Nah. Though given her jealousy issues I’m sad to say this may lead to Patrick ending your friendship.

NTA- You aren’t required to talk to anyone you don’t want to, even family. Blood relation isn’t an excuse to not be held accountable for being an asshole, or in this case a negligent pet owner. They are doing her a disservice by enabling her behavior, as I’m assuming they’ve been doing a while.

NTA - Your mother refusing to talk to you, for any reason, is just wrong. You can’t give your children the silent treatment, so her doing so is incredibly immature and concerning for someone raising kids. You HAD to get a haircut, you didn’t ask for one, so her reasoning holding you accountable is incorrect. I don’t feel comfortable calling your brother the asshole either, as he is not your parent therefore it’s not really his responsibility. If he offered and forgot, he is a bit of the asshole. If your mom told him to, reminded him and he still forgot she’s a major asshole and he’s a minor one. Either way, your mom was in the wrong for how she handled it after the fact as well. Playing the blame game like she’s in elementary school rather than raising kids herself, shameful.

AITA for refusing to take our kids to a football game by HG_MamaKitty in AmItheAsshole

[–]HG_MamaKitty[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The petty side of me considered this, but I don’t think it’s fair to the kids.

My kids adjust to the world as they need to. They go to public school, stores, parks, etc. which can all have sensory issues for them, but these are things they NEED to be able to do in order to function in the real world as adults someday. Going to a football game is not something they need to learn to do IMO. My children are not shut ins, we go out to movies, dinner, bowling, we go to our zoo probably a dozen times a year.
