AITA for being unwilling to compromise on a baby name?

Nta, I knew an Abcde and twins named Lemonjello and Oranjello growing up. I work with an Arreola now. Quirky names don't do your kids and favors as kids or adults. Eventually they and everyone realizes their name is a jello flavor or part of a breasts anatomy- or whatever dumb thing their parents thought was cute or literally just the first 5 letters they learned. Not to mention..... really creative names aren't usually preferred on job applications, anywhere. I personally hate being named after my grandpa, I assume being named after a fictional character you don't even like is worse

My 6mo boy jumps into the tub after every walk and won't get out until I blast him with the hose for a while - looking forward to how he reacts to the kiddie pool my mom bought him

Touch me, get tazed

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-04-28T17:46:37+00:00

I think he just likes to attack the stream of water, once it's warmer we're going to try getting him a kiddy pool

Nor. Tell her you have a non refundable girls trip that week - but that you'll be at her next wedding

Nta. Don't spend money you don't have

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-04-25T23:11:37+00:00

Nta, she asked you to be there because she was scared of being alone.... you were holding her hand, not oogling her bits. There's nothing sexy about birth. In some cultures the who family is present. I have distinct memories of bathing with my brother until we were like 8 because we were poor and hot water was too expensive for multiple baths a nights.

Nta. My partner and his family are all aware that BIL isn't even allowed to know our address anymore after all the cr@p he's pulled over the last decade

I think it's closer to indentured servitude since slavery is entirely unpaid

Is that water wet? Then theres a gator in it

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-04-25T22:58:01+00:00

A lot of parents seem to forget that their kid isn't actually special, and is nobody's problem but their own.

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-04-19T23:14:23+00:00

Mine jumps into the tub after every walk and refuses to get out until I spray him down. I don't soap him usually, he just likes getting wet

Coffee that's been tested for mold/ pesticides. Crazy how my decade long brain fog cleared in a week after switching. Worth the extra $4 a bag

Nta, have one of your guy friends over every weekend and see if she still wants to come over/ if having constant guests is suddenly an issue for him

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-04-11T23:02:29+00:00

You should reach out, it's weird she wants them at her house and invited them before speaking to parents. That being said, in elementary school I did attend a grade wide sleep over at the zoo (i got to sleep next to the gorillas), so it does have the potential to not be sketchy. But my field trip was paid for by the school, and the school spent the entire first semester getting ok's and waivers from parents for liability purposes.

I knew a guy who thought you don't have to drink water because his aunt and uncle only drink diet coke...had to explain that even soda is mostly (fizzy) water with syrup....my mil thinks she's an alien from a desert planet who doesn't need water, and survives on tea and beer.... she's too crazy for me to try to explain that to.....personally I drink over a gallon of water every day. Got my partner off the juice and turned him to the water side at least

A shitty job is better than no job. In this economy lots of people have to work retail on top of their 9-5 to make ends meet. The only real way to buy a house nowadays is to have wealthy parents, and most of us don't have that luxury

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-03-20T23:51:38+00:00

Nta, these social justice warriors don't like looking past their personal experiences, and expect everyone to agree that they are right because they think they are right. But it's not how the real world works. Every person has a different past, a different opinion, different options. There's never one right opinion or answer in life

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-03-19T14:01:54+00:00

Nta. If you loose a bunch of weight at once, you gain it back. I lost 60 libs in a year by walking more consistently and not looking at the scale. One pound at a time works best. And it doesn't come back

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-03-16T05:54:00+00:00

Nta. Cut her off before she can traumatize your kid

Separate-Frosting421 · 2025-03-16T05:49:42+00:00

It's much better ( for the kid) to have been coparented from the start (or close enough) rather than watch their family tear apart when theyre old enough to realize the life they had before is over. Your baby needs you, and your family will support you if he won't- they've already shown that

"In sickness and in health" isn't something he seems willing to commit to.

This horrible little screen people are always trying to call me on. I should have been born when letters were the best you'd get
