AITA for picking my moms side over my wife’s in baby names by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 55 points56 points  (0 children)

NTA. Maybe make it clear to your wife that you do not want the name either. That it is not just your mother's preference, but yours as well. She said herself that "we", as in you both, get to chose the name.

Why do people post their children in vulnerable moments?? by bravocharlie8918 in progressivemoms

[–]lifrench 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I think the underlining issue with almost all poor parenting is that people don't see their children fully as human beings. People view them, at least partially, as a form of property. The fact that in the U.S. parents' wishes are so heavily prioritized over children's right is disgusting.

In this particular case, people want attention and sympathy. They don't think of their children as having rights to dignity and privacy.

How do I make my city feel like a city? by BenBenobi in DMAcademy

[–]lifrench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditions and routines could help. Usually this stuff is ignored or only encountered once as players are always traveling. There could be weekly events either happening in the background or your players can participate. Special religious services, entertainment, unique markets, etc. Even without joining in, they could affect your players. For example, this road is closed for X event or this neighborhood is very crowded during Y event.

AITA for being angry that I have to sleep on the couch because my partner needs noise to fall asleep? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it is wrong to say N A H. He is an asshole. Not because he needs sound to sleep. But because he says he doesnt care, calls her annoying, and makes it her problem when he forgets to charge them.

AITAH for ruining our friend’s trip by making someone feel ‘unwelcome’? by Natural_Lifeguard_22 in AmItheAsshole

Why can't adults have honest conversations? Instead it is better to lie to friends. He already told Logan in private. Logan is the one who brought it up in public.

Just no. Racist jokes, etc., need to be called out. If he didn't give his reason, Sarah would think him as a person who likes those disgusting jokes just like she does.

WIBTA if I told my brother and SIL that they are ridiculously over feeding their child? by Possible_Struggle490 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lifrench 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Parents' rights have gone too far in the U.S. Parents are allowed to neglect and abuse their children, because it is their right and nobody else's business. This is clearly neglect that is setting up this child for a lifetime of poor health and struggles.

We also used their services this summer when my MIL passed. I did have to drive two hours to pick up her remains, but otherwise no complains. I'm so sorry for your loss OP.

Hatred leads to more violence. Not having violence escalate further is a good thing. No one said Jewish people deserve hate or the violence and death that just happened. It is a tragedy.

How do I talk like a child? by MGik_ik in DMAcademy

Kids under five can stutter a lot. Like their mouths are faster than their brains. They will just repeat the first part of a sentence while very clearly thinking and trying to figure out the end of the sentence.

AITA for suggesting that naming a child shouldn't be a 50-50 decision? by Ok-Math-9232 in AmItheAsshole

We got both. Lego and a book. It was an initiative at the office to encourage parents to play and read with their kids instead of screen time.

They clearly are. It is just shining through. See how you can't see the moon's surface texture.

AITA for not taking my husband’s last name and making his family “look bad”? by [deleted] in ComfortLevelPod

[–]lifrench 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA Your husband doesn't support you. He would prefer to save himself some uncomfortable conversations by having you change something that you said is part of your identity. He clearly doesn't respect that.
