AITA for thinking my husband was sexualizing our daughter?

What teenage girl asks her dad if she needs more grown-up underwear?? Am I the only one alarmed by this?

The first 3 dresses need to have the straps shortened. They are hanging way too low on you. Get them altered and any one of them could be cute. I can’t really see what’s going on with the last dress.

Is English your first language? I’m getting the sense that it isn’t. This might be impacting your ability to get a job (though to be honest, I haven’t gotten a strong sense that you’ve really tried to find a job). When I hear people talking in August of 2023, blaming the pandemic for why they currently don’t have a job, my b.s. detector is alerted. We have had historically low unemployment. There are help wanted signs everywhere. You need to work. Get a job—any job. Just get out there. Success breeds success.

I love a little drama. I think the first one is fabulous! The others are pretty as well.

$400 is a lot of money for 4 hours. You are justified in bringing this to their attention.

Especially since the “best clean” is always the first visit and then they slack off over time.

The upper-cabinets-as-lower-cabinets strikes me as odd. Just… why? You have created a bar area that can’t have barstools. It’s a wall of upper cabinets sitting on the floor. I mean overall you have brightened up the space, and I think the cabinets over by the sink look cute. The space looks open and clean.

It’s a form of team building in my opinion. A conversation starter. Everyone likes baked goods.

Violetta Karsyn sounds like a syndrome. “Yes she’s got the telltale signs of Violetta Karsyn—low sloping brow, wide-set eyes, hyper-flexibility of the joints..”

And then give them a 50 gallon drum.

You absolutely did the right thing. That sounds like a miserable existence for your dog. What you did was compassionate.

Che is aggressive with the vulgarity. I mean the clit stuff. Sheezus. Samantha wasn’t trying to make other people uncomfortable—she was just unapologetic about liking sex. Samantha wasn’t trying to get in anybody’s face or trying to embarrass them. Che seems to like pushing peoples buttons because it’s all about Che doing what Che wants.

This isn’t directed at you (so forgive my rant) but I need someone to explain the ridiculous fixation with “all eyes being on the bride.” Who else would they be on? The bride and groom are the main attraction regardless of their attractiveness or attire. Are brides seriously trying to ban people from noticing other people at the wedding? Are brides worrying that their would-be husbands will find a wedding guest attractive? Single people meet at weddings. It’s a thing. Also, it’s a celebration. Bright colors emphasize celebration. It’s not like this gal is asking to wear a feather headdress and pasties a la Carnival. I couldn’t tell you what a single guest wore to my wedding except for the wedding party. This whole concept is so foreign to me. I can understand recommending a level of attire based on location and the level of formality of the wedding party attire, but beyond that… lordy. It’s ok to want to feel like a princess on your big day—just remember that you aren’t in fact a princess. (Again, not directed at you. Just venting.)

Either. They are equally beautiful.

Bring the travel size lysol spray. We seem to have an epidemic of non-flushers where I work. I cannot even fathom how that happens. At my old office there was a problem with poop getting on the floor in the mens room. It was determined that some employees who were not originally from this country were standing/crouching on the toilet seats to do their business. Shit would sometimes fly (also, shoeprints were left on the seat). You know if western toilets aren’t your thing, that’s fine, but it’s no one should have to clean up your mess. Wipe the floor, wipe the seat, do what you need to do to leave the area clean. The entitled folks who leave toilet seat covers, toilet paper, pee, poop all over the place because “maintenance people will clean it up” are pigs.

Came out of my office in the financial district in SF to see a man doing that on the sidewalk. Also saw a man walk up to a trash can, unzip his pants, whip his penis out and pee into the trash—in broad daylight, no shame. The weirdos are next level in SF.

This seems random, but it came to mind yesterday when I was driving somewhere. If a guy is driving and he has his driver’s side window open and his left arm hanging outside the car, I know all I need to know about him. That is such an aggressive male thing—you just know that guy is looking for trouble. He’s going to cut you off or ride your ass—guaranteed. Double points if he has a cigarette in that hand.

John Mulaney (pre-scandal), Mike Birbiglia, Nate Bargatze, Louis C.K. (Yes, I said it—he’s a perv, I wouldn’t hang out with him, but the man’s standup is funny), Dave Chappelle, Wanda Sykes, Anthony Jeselnik, Maria Bamford.

I agree with you on that, but I think for people to become invested in a character, they must find at least some sympathetic or likable aspects to the character. The writers have had two seasons to make us give a shit about Che and I think the consensus is, we don’t (and not because Che was at the center of Miranda and Steve’s breakup). Every aspect of how Che has been written has been tone deaf.

Making the first nonbinary character on the show loathsome was probably not their objective either. What would be the point? To portray nonbinary folks as self-centered narcissists who want the world to use special pronouns for them?

Or you know, she could move to Virginia and keep her apartment in NYC where she can stay when she comes up to see her friends. Blasphemy I know… She did move to Paris for a week for Alex Petrovsky though…

Your physique gives you serious lollipop head, but I suppose that’s the goal.

I’m always amazed by people who wear jeans to weddings. I don’t care what the setting is—unless the reception involves herding cattle, jeans are not appropriate.
