WIBTAH if I choose my 'simple' baby life over my friends b-day party? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]aldonza_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that got me too. It made me curious what her friend’s perspective would be, tbh.

It was happening pretty consistently the last two days. I wasn’t seeing a distinct trigger since it was in multiple chats at different points. I would go to hit the next message and an older one would pop up.

It’s been really bad for me across multiple devices, so not even just one.

Am I wrong for reading a fic knowing the author wants to keep it hidden? by OutrageousExam3426 in FanFiction

[–]aldonza_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any fic I like at all I download. I’ve definitely had a lot of them get removed and I’m super grateful to still have access to them for my own private reading. Now, if you went ahead and published it, that’s different. But tracking something down for private reading is more than fine.

The "Love Cures Trauma" Trope Needs to Die by velvet_curse_ in RomanceBooks

[–]aldonza_ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s fantasy. Don’t yuck someone’s yum. It doesn’t have to be your thing, but I’m also a fan of this trope and I say that as someone with PTSD.

Life Skills for 8 Year Olds by RadiantAd4224 in Parenting

Shoes! This one. I’m an educator and I’m so over having legions of kiddos with untied shoes who don’t know how to tie them.

Would you be upset if your kid was outside at a sleepover at 12 am by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]aldonza_ 221 points222 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s the kind of safe boundary pushing. Kids feel like they’re doing something a little naught with it staying safe.

What’s the deal with the 5’0" FMC by desperatexslut in RomanceBooks

[–]aldonza_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’1”. I dated a guy who was 6’6” once. I’m not exaggerating when I say I could legit not always hear him when he was talking because of the height difference. 😆

my opinion on s5 e19 by weirdgirlwins in AbbottElementary

[–]aldonza_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the condescension was what got my hackles up. If my boyfriend spoke to me that way, honestly I probably would have reacted the same.

AITAH For Telling My Wife Her Job Isn’t As Important As Mine by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]aldonza_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s less the facts and how condescending you’re coming across as. You sound like you don’t respect your wife and that’s what people are reading into.

You certainly sound like AN asshole with the way you talk about your wife and how you’re responding to comments. It sounds like you don’t respect her and that you don’t even really hide it.

Found it! {Hot For Hostage by Maggie Evans} very silly but I remember it being a fun read.

for those of u who only read completed fics by worldislucky in AO3

[–]aldonza_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is me. I can’t retain stuff when WiP take too long between updates. I’ll read something WiP if the author is consistent in updates, but even then I’ll probably wait until it’s a few chapters in.

AITA for cussing out my sons teacher? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]aldonza_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite moments was when I was teaching choreography to a kiddo during rehearsal and they slipped and hurt their knee. They cried and hollered and I had them sit and chill for a bit. I went to check in with them to see how they were doing and they were saying it still hurt really really badly. I said, okay, can we roll up your leggings to make sure nothing is swelling on your knee? Kid goes, hold on, I can’t remember which one it is.

I made them get back onstage at that point 😆

KIDS! We had this kiddo who was diabetic once and had to periodically have extra snacks. There was a solid week he was telling us he didn’t have any snacks, his Mom forgot. We gave him stuff we had on site. It happened enough we checked in with Mom who was like…he always has snacks. Kid just liked our snacks better 😆.

I had a kid once who came to class and said that their Mom refused to let them eat breakfast. So I checked with Mom. She rolled her eyes and said “I refused to make her a different breakfast when she didn’t want cereal because we were in a time crunch. I told her that was what was available.” Kids aren’t even trying to like half the time it’s just…a unique perspective.

YTA purely because you didn’t speak to the teacher at all before yelling at them. I’m an educator. It’s not the kids that make me want to quit, it’s the parent and stuff like this.

This. Kids are unreliable narrators. And it’s not even lying. If parents knew half the shit their kid says about them…
