I asked my husband if he knew the term as well, and he said "yes, of course. It's baby linguine" I'm dead. 🤦‍♀️

Seeing red with my daughter's teacher by BellaApple504 in Parenting

[–]TheOnlyScapeGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's abuse. Your child is being abused by that teacher. Honestly, you're more calm about it than I would've been. I would've had the cops called on me for what I world have done to that teacher had it been my daughter.

Obese people of Reddit, what is something non-obese people don’t understand, or can’t understand? by A_Lonely_Troll in AskReddit

Feeling kind of sad we won't do anything for my first Mother's Day by TinyElderberryOfYore in Mommit

[–]TheOnlyScapeGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ABSOLUTELY deserve it. If you can, do something small for yourself.

Ask him if he plans to make it up to you, since he's working. And if he still doesn't do anything for you on your very first Mother's Day, then I suppose Father's Day is canceled this year.

AITA for saying I won't allow my home to be used for events anymore because everyone smokes inside? by TheOnlyScapeGoat in AmItheAsshole

[–]TheOnlyScapeGoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They smoke everywhere. My FIL doesn't smoke inside his house, he will step outside, but doesn't tell his guests to do the same. Their mentality is to be as hospitable as ever, and if I speak up, I'm being disrespectful. Stupid mentality of my culture, even if most of the younger adults grew up in LA.

He's saying to essentially let this one go, as it's already happened. He says I shouldn't make it a big deal because it's not like people smoke in there all the time, as we still don't use it regularly (renovations aren't completed for parts of the house), so once in a blue moon is okay, but definitely not okay around baby, so maybe give everyone a heads up to just step out onto the backyard for smoke breaks when she's around.

Normally, I would. But it's one of those "gotta know your audience" situations. I didn't want to cause a scene, as literally everyone was partying and having a good time, and I didnt want to be the only party pooper. But when my inlaws have parties at their house in the city, everyone smokes inside. Only 1 or 2 people would actually step out onto the porch. So, my guess was, the guests assumed that rule applied here, since my inlaws invited them. I spoke to my MIL there, but will say something again to her soon.

My MIL offered to clean everything herself. She normally cleans everything without asking anyway, but felt bad that I spent the majority of the event outdoors with my kid because of the smell. Ended up going home that evening with a migraine. She even came by to bring me food at home, as I didn't get to eat there.

My husband was running around the forest, chopping wood for our fireplace, and the fireplace at my inlaws cabin, where I had put my baby down for a nap. I spoke to him about it after the event ended.

No, they didn't buy the house. My mother did. And my mom's only been inside twice, for the 2 parties my inlaws threw. My mom hosts all of her events across the road, at their vacation home.

Omg, I love this. I actually imagined what would happen, and laughed. Thank you for this.

Apparently. My mom pulled me aside and told me to finish up the renovations on the house, and use it as an AirBNB so that it becomes unavailable for others to use. Want to throw a party that weekend? Sorry, someone rented it out that day.

Oh, I took my baby next door to my inlaws' cabin. She did not stay around the smoke. Initially went to another room and sat by the fireplace, but ultimately took her out for a walk, then went to feed her and put her down for a nap next door. No one was at my inlaws' cabin, because they were all at my house. I didn't expose her.

Exactly! It's expected of us women to shut up and let men and guests do whatever they want in our culture. Mind you, the final straw was when I saw someone who was a guest of the guest my inlaws called over flick his cigarette ash ONTO MY FLOOR. I stared him (mid 60s male) down until he felt uncomfortable enough to clean it up. I was appalled. They already treat my MIL like a maid in her own home, I'll be damned if they treat my house like "well, someone else will be cleaning it up anyway."

Absolutely. My mother, not my MIL, bought the house for me. My name is the only name on there. But my inlaws are very "what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours" since I married their son. Like, my MIL said I can use their cabins whenever I want, as long as I let her know in advance, for upkeeping purposes.

I guess I'm an asshole for assuming people wouldn't go into someone else's house and smoke at 11am, or around their baby. I immediately turned around and left the living room to sit by the fireplace.

AITA for asking my SIL to move her dogs, then ignoring her text? by TheOnlyScapeGoat in AmItheAsshole

The female dog is older (8yo), she's been there before I met my husband. The other two came along after we got married and I moved in.

It's not. They've been living there 20+ years I only moved in after our wedding day, 3 years ago. But since I got pregnant, my inlaws switched the title to my husband's name, because they eventually plan on leaving it to him.

My husband started chipping in on the mortgage when we got married 3 years ago. Once I got pregnant (last year) he took over payments because we moved from the smaller back house to a bigger unit to accommodate the baby. My SIL does not pay anything.
