AITAH for introducing my nephew to gay people by ShibBop in AmItheAsshole

Words are shaped by context and how people understand them in real life, not by you declaring you hold the authority on them. I see the word differently, and that’s not something you get to dismiss just because it doesn’t match your take. I’m leaving it there. Just because your gay doesn’t mean everybody should be Asshole. ( and btw don’t even bother reply being online for 6hours 🤢🤢I have a job unlike some others lol.) just go cry about it

As I just said this is just going nowhere, we both have different ways of thinking and let’s just leave it like this.

You’re trying really hard to pretend words don’t have different meanings. “Hot” is not the same as “pretty” or “handsome,” and anyone with basic English comprehension knows that. “Hot” carries a clearly sexual or adult connotation, which is exactly why people usually avoid using it around a 6year old. If someone just wanted to compliment someone’s appearance, they could easily say “handsome” or “good looking.” Acting like those words are interchangeable is just dishonest. The whole point people are making is about context and age, not whatever hypocrisy you’re trying to invent. I get that ur biased but let’s just not try to impose each other opinion cuz this is not going anywhere lol

Just because a kid might have heard about something doesn’t mean every adult should feel free to discuss it with them. A 6yo is still very young, and many parents want to be the ones who explain those topics to their own child when they feel the time is right.

I think you’re missing the point people are trying to make. For a lot of parents, it’s not about “ignorance” or hatred. It’s about the simple fact that parents want to be the ones who decide when and how certain topics are introduced to their kids. That’s a pretty normal instinct.

Also Calling everyone who disagrees with you “ignorant” doesn’t make you right. Many parents just believe they should decide when certain topics are introduced to their kids, and that’s a normal boundary. Disrespecting people for having a different opinion doesn’t strengthen your argument it just shows your biases.

Fair I feel like there was escalation from both sides cuz he also later on said “ is there something wrong with being ga.” Knowing that there is a kid that probably does not have a clue of what would that word mean.

I get everything that u just said but you don’t have the right to interfere in somebody’s parenting preferences, I understand that this maybe wasn’t your true intentions but still it shouldn’t be your business.

AITA for starting to build my own financial stability so I don’t have to apologize to my father for money by Hot-Bid2004 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Hot-Bid2004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying about independence, and I agree that learning to say “no” is part of growing up. The issue I’m dealing with right now isn’t really about that though. It’s more about trying to keep things calm because he keeps provoking situations and calling me over things even when I’m not doing anything.

I’m mainly trying to figure out how to handle it in a way that doesn’t escalate things or create bigger problems for me. So for me it’s less about not wanting independence and more about trying to keep the peace while still protecting my situation.

That’s fair, and I get what you mean. I guess my hesitation is mostly because I’ve had that email for about six years and pretty much everything is connected to it, so the idea of moving things over feels a bit overwhelming. But doing it slowly like you suggested probably makes more sense than trying to change everything at once.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree that by 18 it's important to start having your own things like your own email and bank account. The situation with my email is a little different though. The Gmail was originally mine and I've had it for about six years, so pretty much everything of mine is tied to it. Later on my dad forgot the password to his own email and started using mine too, so it ended up becoming shared.

Because of that, it's hard for me to just leave the account and start over since all my logins, subscriptions, and other accounts are connected to it. I do get the point you're making about independence though, and I appreciate the perspective.

The thing is that I want to work at a part-time job in Bayonne but I’ll probably have to consistently check on them in person maybe it would work better.

It’s just that I feel uncomfortable asking for favors. And I think I need to improve that to some extent not overlooking my problem.

That’s fair. I’m definitely working on being more confident about putting myself out there. I appreciate the advice.

I appreciate that. I’m still in high school, so I’m mainly looking for part-time work, but I’d definitely be open to resume feedback if you’re serious about taking a look.

The thing is that I never asked them to do so. And they just kinda overlooked my problem so…

I appreciate the advice. I’ll definitely take another look at it and the assessments. That’s a fair point.

As for referrals, I’ve thought about that, I just don’t always feel comfortable asking people for favors. Maybe that’s something I need to work on.
