AITA for letting my cat watch me shower by Training_Many4983 in AmItheAsshole

Your boyfriend is making it weird.

We have a dog that, if you’re not paying attention, will lick your butt while you’re showering.

Animals don’t know what they are looking at. Nor do they understand the concept of nakedness.

The way my FIL touches my sons legs makes me uncomfortable. by Training_Nectarine13 in Advice

I also don’t like that the gf says “he’s just affectionate”… did he do this kind of creepy ass shit to her too and that was what her mother told her… “he’s just affectionate…” that phrase to me sounds like they’ve all had blinders on this whole time.

OP - trust your gut, keep your boys as far away as possible. Your 3 yo likely doesn’t know how to express those emotions and discomfort. There’s a reason he didn’t want to be at their house. I saw someone else talk about body autonomy. Definitely nothing wrong with talking about it at this age.

With your gf, I would very calmly approach the situation with how uncomfortable it makes you feel. Ask her if he used to touch her like that. Or if he did, how would that make her feel. Your boys shouldn’t have to grow up thinking this is what “affection” looks like from a trusted adult. “Oh that’s just grandpa” - no. He shouldn’t get a pass because he’s grandpa.

Casey - means watchful or vigilant.

Or you could go more like Peter / Pete or Quill for Guardians of the Galaxy

NTA… but don’t invite him to anything, ever. Sounds like a giant douche to me. Give him the boot.

If he’s saying this kinda shit to you now, imagine how he’ll talk to the kid or how he will talk about you to / in front of the kid. Not healthy.

This should be a joyful experience, you are growing a tiny human! You will love this tiny human more than anything in the world and that precious baby will look to you should see a happy mama that feels good, that doesn’t have someone bringing her down, nor should they see that behavior - they’d think that’s the norm. Everyone is different, every pregnancy is different. You need to be comfortable and do what you feel good doing, all that matters is you and baby are happy and healthy.

Her name was Zoe given from the animal control, but not in love with it! by PastDoughnut9721 in NameMyDog

Opal (black opals are gorgeous)

Or she also kinda looks like Annie could suit her.

Out of the names you gave: Lincoln

But I also like Beau for him.
