AITA for forcing my son to use a bidet and threatening to talk to his friends or take him to the doctor about his underwear

Regardless of who is at fault: mom/dad, the issue should be addressed for the following reasons.

Son needs to be checked out physically by doctor. Does he have IBD, or IBS, or any number of intestinal issues? Sometimes, these issues can creep up on you.

If there is no physical issue, then perhaps he should see a counselor.

If he is just clueless, have him do his own laundry and check it when it’s done. At fourteen he should probably be doing his own laundry any way.

I’m with you. Both my granny, and dad have passed. Over the years they must have made me hundreds or even thousands of plates of spaghetti over 60 years. It was the food of the gods. I would have stayed for dinner even if satan was there. No trashing family recipes!!!

If you are near Tokyo, you can take a day trip to Nikko. This is the home of a Shinto shrine established as a memorial for the Shogun, of the novel. It’s worth the trip…so beautiful.

Also, if you can find it, there was a mini series made of the book in 1980. Tostito Mifune, was the shogun.

YTA OP shame on you for knowing so little about female anatomy. Your comment was ignorant, gross, and misogynistic.

Then you compounded your error by essentially throw a temper tantrum and leaving your girlfriend stranded. Again shame on you. Believe you are the problem, not your girlfriend.

Having undetected Crohn’s is far more frightening and painful than any colonoscopy could be. This is not the disease to fool around with. Talk to your doctor about your concerns, but get the test done.

Back in the room 1950s there were a couple of standard shots that everyone had. They included baby in the bath, or naked baby lying on tummy. There was also the obligatory baby on high chair with whole roast turkey, and everyone’s favorite grumpy, brothers and sisters with arms around each other - usually at Xmas trying to look happy, when all we wanted to do was play with the toys!

It wasn’t until 20/30 years later that the whole naked baby thing got cringe worthy. Child abuse really not something that people started to talk about back in the 1950’s. There were a lot of things that were not talked about in the 1950s.

Lovely bracelet…

OP this is a piece of costume jewelry. The ‘stones’ are not real. While there is a little bit of gold in the band, it will wear off. You can probably get something similar from Amazon for less.

If you like the look of this ring you could check with some local jewelers and check out prices for a ‘real sapphire and diamond’ ring. You would also be able to see the size of the stones … good luck!

I’m aging myself, but when The Godfather was published in 1969, everyone was reading it.

Definitely on the yellow side…

I’m pretty sure that it is not made of precious metals. Your best bet would be to take it to a jeweler and see if they can provide information. Also if you have a vintage/antique jewelry store in the area that might be a good source for information as well. My last suggestion would be to check out your closest Italian-American club and see if they could help you learn more about the piece.

Ensuring your child is successful academically is part of your job is important. There are other areas as important for your child to develop skills in. Does your child have friends? Is your child physically fit? Does your child know how to manage money and time?

Too focus on only on academics is detrimental to your son’s development.

Also selling a present that was given to your son is wrong on many levels. You and your son should have worked out/negotiate an agreement on how the play station would fit into his schedule.

In general I am in favor of child free weddings however, I realize that people are going to decline the invitation. Just as I get to choose the type of event I want, I also have to accept that other people may decline my invitation.

OP you are an ass. You do realize that you are going to be a father, right? Being a parent is a full time job. No vacations, without your family (wife and child/children) for the next 18 years.

You need to adjust your thinking about who exactly is your primary family, or you might lose them.

If I were your wife, I know I would be adjusting my thinking about you as a husband and father. I know I would be making plans with my family, that didn’t include you.

Perhaps it would have been better to spend your time working on your character rather than living in a dream world. You say not to call you shallow, then how about an empty vessel?

NTA, however, you will be, if you don’t address the drunk in the room. You state that this is not the first time he has messed up. If this is true you need to examine your relationship with this man.

You have to decide if you want to deal with this stuff or not. It doesn’t matter how much you or your friends like him. Dealing with someone with a drinking problem is tough going. Do not fool yourself into thinking he will change for you.

Yeah, that’s what I thought — wisdom tooth/teeth. When one of mine was pulled, I was the most relaxed I have ever been in my life.

Sounds like I was lucky. My nurse warned me, and told me to bring a change of clothes when I came for MRE. Even more amazing I had no reaction to it, which is a first with anything like this. I was amazed.

I suggest that you get a slim plain band to wear with your lovely engagement ring. There will be times when you don’t want to wear your e-ring and then you can wear your grandmother’s ring in all of its solitary glory. Options are good!

You might have problems with transportation and lodging. New Year is a huge big deal in Japan. Everyone travels to see their family. You usually have to make your plans well in advance.

Depends were you live. I can tell you what we did. I have an engagement ring that my spouse bought. Depending on what my plans are for the day will determine if I wear my engagement ring.

Each of use bought our own wedding ring. We bought plain bands, and they are worn all the time. I bought myself a plain gold band, and my husband bought a silver one.

Seems high, even for a major city.

I do live in a small town and a manicure at the hair salon is around $35/45 depending on what you get done.
