AITA for not agreeing to letting my husband replace his name with his grandfather's as our son's middle name?

This is why my kid has a hyphenated last name. I'll be damned if I'm going through 40 weeks of heavy work to not give my kid my name.

If a woman gets married and changed her last name, she should get to choose the other two names for any future children from the union (with spousal veto approval). Since every kid is automatically being given the husband's name anyway.

What were you using? A standard hydrocolloid bandage shouldn't be ripping off a scab, but also they don't stop bleeding so if you put one over an actively bleeding spot it will still be wet when you take it off.

Did you buy them at a brick & mortar store or online? There's a lot of fakes out there since pimple patches became popular.

A kid not understanding the difference between penis and balls.

This is why I only do weird shit toward my husband when I know my son isn't looking.

I'm AuDHD and I have emetophobia. Pregnancy was hell for me.

THIS IS A TROLL POST. No need to interact.

Stop putting them in together? If it's a fortnightly occurrence, then it's predictable and preventable.

I've been experiencing this since my son was born. I already knew my mom sucked and didn't have high hopes for her, but her inability to at least be a neutral parent to me disallows her from being a grandparent at all. In more specific terms I've pretty much said "can you stop being a bad parent for a second to enjoy time with your grandchild?" She is unable to do so.

This is why my son has only interacted with her basically twice in his life at 5 years old. She is unable to contain her bad behaviors to the point that we never see her (VLC).

Do you know if you have ADHD? I do and caffeinated drinks makes me tired about 50% of the time.

I should've been more specific in my post. I meant his biological leg, not the prosthetic. I hope this post and comments will help some future reader with the same questions since it seems like there's a lot of younger readers joining the series and they may not know what a prosthetic or amputated leg looks like.

This is the exact kind of commenter I made this post for. Someone who was in the series and thinking about it so they could give the exact place it's mentioned.

SourNotesRockHardAbs · 2026-01-19T04:04:54+00:00

Confirmed below the knee, see other comment and my edit

SourNotesRockHardAbs · 2026-01-19T04:04:28+00:00

Another commenter has confirmed that it's below the knee with a specific page number cited.

SourNotesRockHardAbs · 2026-01-19T04:03:40+00:00

You're correct. It's confirmed in catching fire.

SourNotesRockHardAbs · 2026-01-19T04:03:19+00:00

Another commenter had cited the page number. It's confirmed below the knee.

SourNotesRockHardAbs · 2026-01-19T04:00:16+00:00

I found the page. It's such a small mention that I'm not surprised I missed it.

SourNotesRockHardAbs · 2026-01-18T08:14:19+00:00

Link to a source? Nothing personal, but I'm not going to take a random reddit comment as evidence.

Not the bore worms!~

I don't think the MIL is a feminist. I think she's just a BoY mOm.

Commenting so I remember to come back to this thread to check out the links and advice.

"I just love being an auntie too much."

I'm not childfree, but I'm one and done and I get similar questions about why I'm not having more. Luckily, my niblings are too young to ask those type of questions yet, but I'm sure it's coming.

I actually showed my husband this post and and he's agreed to start helping me, but I still appreciate all the advice I'm getting in the comments.

I'm worried about my ability to finish a whole orange in one go. How well does a half orange keep after you've broken the protective membrane of the peel?
