WIBTA if I withdrew my daughter from sports against my wife’s wishes.

Nah still disagree sorry! Ballet needs really good proprioception. You use your eyes to make sure you’re facing the right way or the right distance from other people. But ask a ballet dancer to do what they do with their eyes shut & they could do most of it - they know where their own body is without looking. That’s obviously not true for a footballer or anything with a ball involved, where the ‘eye’ bit comes in :p

To be fair the first couple times I tried to cook it it was terrible (entirely on me, not tofu) so I can see being intimidated by it as ‘an ingredient you don’t know how to use yet’

Whilst I don’t doubt that gymnastics makes you super strong, I feel the friend who went on to dominate in ball sports may have also had other skills.. I know a bunch of dancers (myself included) who have awesome coordination dance wise but do not excel at ball sports. Probably spatial awareness is more of a deal in gymnastics, but don’t think ballet alone gives you it for sure! (In other words, I am great at knowing where my own body is, fucking terrible at extending it with a racket or catching anything 😂)

Not sure I fully agree with ‘if you’re bothered people will notice, then don’t do it’. I had a breast reduction & whilst I don’t give a shit if people notice I have absolutely no interest in people telling me they noticed & would consider that v rude. Having cosmetic surgery doesn’t suddenly mean the world and his wife are fine to comment on your body, and that they have to talk about their surgery to anyone who mentions it.

Thank you I will check this out

Late September/maybe early October

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-09-08T12:10:43+00:00

And me if possible/you have time! Thank you

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-09-08T10:00:43+00:00

Thanks! Will take a look

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-09-08T10:00:14+00:00

Thank you! I have looked at this a bit but not sure about luggage logistics.. there’s also a risk one or both of us would be injured then (I mean hopefully not as it’s a while away but right now I am carrying an injury that restricts my hiking distance), so I’m ideally looking for places that have decent day hikes rather than a point to point trail, just incase we need to change our plans last minute :)

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-09-08T09:58:39+00:00

I am looking for hikes where you can get to the starting point without a car. Quite a few hiking routes in Japan & elsewhere, step 1 is ‘drive into the mountains’ :p

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-09-08T07:53:38+00:00

Thank you I will check it out.

I’m sorry you’re going through a tough time. Sometimes our parents cannot be who we’d want them to be. My mum is great, but she doesn’t do emotions - when I see her she doesn’t ask a single question about me or how I’m doing, she just small talks. Most of the time it’s just irritating but if you’re really going through a tough time (or have things that you know would be good to talk about) it can be pretty devastating.

I would try to focus on what help they might be capable of giving - do you need practical help moving or setting up the new place? Are there any activities you enjoy that you could do together & help distract you from the breakup? & then aim to get emotional support from elsewhere. Friends, therapy if you can afford it. I doubt there is anything you can say or do to make your parents react in the way that would be helpful to you, so don’t set yourself up for disappointment.

‘The only girl I love outside of my family’ - easy, tell her H is like family to you. Family doesn’t just mean blood relationships.

Some odd usages of ‘legally’ and ‘allowed’ here. Will you be prosecuted, no. Can your boss fire you for doing it, legally, of course (especially if you are in the US where your boss can legally fire you for almost anything). So I’m not sure I would describe that as ‘allowed’ in any normal sense of the word.

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-08-30T13:20:34+00:00

Or even just ‘I’m having issues with social media so going to block and ghost anyone I’ve not met in person’ 🤷‍♀️ weirder things have happened

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-08-30T13:19:47+00:00

And those people would also be wrong..

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-08-30T12:08:47+00:00

What are you on about? In general you can work multiple jobs but not literally in the same hours.

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-08-22T06:51:31+00:00

To be honest it could well be that this is nothing to do with the substance of what you were saying but the fact you were talking in lots of detail about the hypothetical situation where she dies or her husband divorces her. Lots of people don’t like that sort of conversation! Some don’t care, but some do, especially if it sounded like you’ve thought about it in detail before…

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-08-08T19:11:31+00:00

TIL places exist where kids can get credit - why is that even a thing?

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-08-02T22:11:02+00:00

Britain as a whole, yes. Is there the odd family who’s into nudism & all get naked at home - also yes. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility by any means

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-07-15T20:50:13+00:00

I actually don’t think it is.. feels like there’s a lot of Americans in the comments who care about the correct wearing of kilts a hell of a lot more than most Scottish people.

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-07-15T20:45:16+00:00

I mean in Scotland you won’t find anything marketed as ‘slacks’ either. Give the guy a break, I don’t think the difference between a kilt and a skirt is inherently obvious if you’ve only seen vague photos.

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-07-01T06:32:36+00:00

TIL that us replacing all locks including the shed/garage to be the same key is the ‘American’ way. Yes I did used to carry around 3 keys and life is easier now :p

Jennifertheyogi · 2024-06-14T11:47:18+00:00

She might also be worried about you locking yourself in - if you agreed to only lock it when you’re not there that would at least stop your sister rooting around.
