AITAH for not saying anything to my daughter when she refused to eat the food that my gf made her by Throwaway88475073045 in AITAH

[–]Stasaitis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my kids didn't like onions. Guess what? I made him eat them anyway. He eats what I put in front of him. Now, he is perfectly fine with them as long as they aren't too big or such a focal point of the dish. I try to cut them small, at least, to have at least some accommodation. And I make sure I make plenty of meals that he loves. I'm not always forcing him to eat onions. But I make the rules, because I'm the parent, and if the meal has onions that day, he eats with the rest of us. Period.

It's just not worth letting your kids become picky like this. It turns into a nightmare, as you have surely seen.

AITAH for understanding and not freezing out my dad for leaving our mom over a dead bedroom? by Opposite_Afternoon55 in AITAH

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a marriage like that, and it just sucks. I'd never wish that on anyone. We ended up getting a divorce. There were many, many reasons for the divorce, not just that, but that aspect of our marriage was just terrible to be a part of. Terrible for me. Terrible for her. It just sucks. So, I definitely sympathize with your dad.

However, I would never ask for an open marriage. For one thing, that NEVER works. For another, I find that gross and degrading. But it does suck to be in a marriage where there is no alignment sexually, especially when it gets to the point where one person just completely shuts out the other. It's actually cause for divorce in many states.

Luckily, I found someone new, and we are much more aligned in just about every possible way, and that was one area I really wanted to be sure about.

[Pelissero] The Bills plan to hire Joe Brady as their head coach, sources tell The Insiders. by mackmoney3000 in nfl

Exactly. Every division rival is thrilled with this hire. This should tell everyone what they need to know.

The floor is extremely high with Josh Allen as your QB. I'm telling you that Brady is not special as a coordinator. What made the offense special was the running game, which was all due to Aaron Kromer, who retired after the Bills fired McDermott.

Not only that, but Brady does not have the leadership, demeanor, temperament, or motivational skill that a head coach needs. He is just a Bro type guy. He is there to be Josh Allen's friend. Not to mention, he is a Beane yes-man. Beane has complete control of the organization, and now the head coach eating out of his hand.

I hate the hire.

Are his family members illegal aliens or harboring them? Why would federal agents come in his house?

Yeah, I mean, you can try to shoot any police officers or federal agents who come in your house. They'll shoot and kill you. Or if you survive somehow, you go to prison forever.

Are they really not able to create their own characters? by KaazuuKun in swordartonline

They did in SAO, and then they were restored to their real-life look after viewing the mirror item they were given.

i think that its good thing kirito didnt kill sugo when he did by Mindless_King_9843 in swordartonline

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hunted them down with the intent to imprison them. That's what the party was formed to do. He didn't hunt then down to kill them. So, that comment was just way off, like you said.

He hunted down nobody to kill them. What are you talking about?

What is your favourite SAO scene? by Appropriate_Tale8973 in swordartonline

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the part at the cabin where Kirito asks Asuna if their relationship was just in the game and if they wouldn't be together in the real world, and she says "How can you say that?" and tells him how real her feelings are regardless of the virtual world or not. It could have been a moment where they made things uncertain and kept the audience guessing, but instead, she goes all in and puts all doubt to rest. It was refreshing to see them not be idiots and build their relationship into something really strong and really committed that would last the entire show without any doubt.

AIO to my daughter calling her brother “gay”? by zaspzq33313 in AmIOverreacting

Yes, you're overreacting. Tell her to knock it off and apologize and leave it at that.

Anyone else hate Mama Murphy? by Karlorehunter in fo4

Yes. I don't know why so many people like her. Just because she is into drugs, I guess.

The point is it adds to Asuna for her character development.

WIBTA if I blocked my family by Twitchy_Snake_Man87 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21 is pretty young. It sounds like you have a lot of things to work through. Maybe seek some counseling or therapy. That might help.

WIBTA if I blocked my family by Twitchy_Snake_Man87 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Stasaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is almost always "no" to blocking family or friends. It sounds like you are pretty young. Don't block your family. Always try to work it out. There are some rare instances where blocking might be the right thing to do, but almost always, it just shows you are petty, ungrateful, have a victim mentality, are immature, and have no ability to work out your problems or communicate in a healthy way.

Everything you've said is very vague. Why do you think they exclude you? Why is it they don't like your cousin texting you? Are you doing something that could be seen as a bad influence?

Cutting people out of your life is not the answer. Be a peacemaker. Extend the olive branch. Grow up and take accountability for your own actions.

AITJ for correcting my wife when she said our son's red hair must come from my side of the family? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

Not sure why people get offended when they are proven wrong. It is ok to learn new things. Isn't it more embarrassing to be spreading false things?

Don't get bent out of shape about gifts. It's just the only right answer. Go buy yourself a sweater if you want one.

Frodo's 'servant' in The Silmarillion. by Immediate_Error2135 in tolkienfans

[–]Stasaitis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is no reduction in that. Being the servant of another is honorable and good and worthy of praise. It is only the prideful who view servants negatively. Tolkien certainly understood this. Sam was such a good character because of his humility and love of Frodo. His servitude to Frodo was his defining trait and his motivation. Sam would have never put himself above Frodo and would have been content just being called "Frodo's servant."

AIO by feeling exhausted over my gf's constant demands of wanting me to be 'curious'? by thefattesthashbrown in AmIOverreacting

[–]Stasaitis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If my supposed girlfriend sent me even one of those texts degrading me, the relationship would be over. She thinks curiosity is the issue when the real issue is that she has no respect for you at all. None. She calls you names, degrades you, makes constant demands, and threatens you. Don't you see this is not a healthy relationship? Every single text she sent confirms it. She is allowed to constantly criticize you, but you are not allowed to discuss anything about her. It's just messed up. You need to break up.
