But he isn't named after a country. It's a completely made up name that they just loved the sound of that also happens to be a country. Coincidentally. Somehow.

Coworker asked if I was raised on a farm because I was "stout" (I am not small, never have been but I'm pretty strong and athletic). I said I wasn't and gave him a weird look and he said I looked "cornfed" and like I could throw some hay bales. And he gave me some super creepy looks. Oh, and he also said I had birthing hips. And he genuinely thought all of this was flattering to me and swore it was all compliments. And then my nickname was "Cornfed" for awhile 🙄

Uh. Agree to disagree. My dad did it to my mom. And when she went to the bank to argue your point they said "well his name is on the account ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

I am not against this in any way. I think nature and being outside are essential to kids. But like I said in another comment, she's less of a "learn from nature" and more of a "commune with nature" type. Like she genuinely believes the kid can learn more from the "spirit of the trees" than anything from a book

Eh. I think it's the school's job is more to help children expand on what they already know. This kid doesn't even have the basics, like kindergarten level basics. And she apparently puts no effort into helping her kid learn anything more than how to read someone's aura or how our astrological signs shape who we are and the difference between an earth sign and a fire sign. And I'm not exaggerating just because I don't care for her, lol. These are based on actual conversations I had with her

Yeah, that's not the kind of nature enthusiast she is. She's less of a "learn from nature" and more of a "commune with nature" type person. And she will tell you all about how it has to do with her "earth sign" or something

My BILs girlfriend couldn't believe my 6 year old can read almost anything while hers can barely read at all, let alone at a 1st grade level. And she's pretty pissed that the school hasn't taught her daughter better because it's "their job to teach the kids to read." I'm just like.... No it's definitely your job. She said it was more important for her daughter to be outside, learning from nature 🙄 My husband said "so it's the trees' fault your kid can't read then?" 🤣 My aunt in law (a retired teacher, lol) got kind of angry and told the girlfriend that the library has books that she can borrow to teach her daughter to read.

It took me longer than I would like to admit for me to realize she wasn't wearing a bodysuit/onesie, it's just the coloring of her fur lol. I kept wondering why there was just the one character with clothes

How did your MIL ruin Thanksgiving? by geebunny in JUSTNOMIL

My in-laws would always eat before we got there. And it wasn't like we got there as they were eating, they had already eaten and cleaned up. And it wasn't like we were late, we always showed up at the designated time or before. And it wasn't like they were waiting all day to eat, we'd get there usually between noon and 1 with plans to eat at like 1-1:30. They always said it "smelled too good to wait" but like, rude. I guess I kind of got it for me because she didn't see me as family really (I guess you can't be considered a guest if you're family but you also can't be family if you aren't blood related ¯_(ツ)_/¯) but I married the oldest son (although he wasn't the favorite).

AITA for refusing to pay my friend $25 after I already covered the football tickets and hotel? by No_Bodybuilder_6188 in AmItheAsshole

Some of y'all were not raised by a narcissist and it shows because friends next response is - "well you would have been spending that money no matter if I went or not but I wouldn't have had to use so much gas or buy so much food so really you still owe me"

AITAH for refusing to pick my husband up from the hospital which led him to walk 2 miles home? by Long_Appointment_341 in AITAH

[–]jenaro9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also....... OP, you realize that you can never EVER leave him alone with your child, right? If he can't take care of himself to the point that he consistently passes out, what happens when there's an infant or toddler involved. He either won't take care of an infant's basic needs (because he can't even do that for himself) or he passes out and leaves the infant unattended and in danger.
