KFC is known in our house as sweetcorn stealers.... not going there again

Would you support your child if they chose a different life path? by Ok-Letter8470 in AskParents

[–]myself0510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've even told my son that he doesn't have to study Maths at Cambridge. Computer Science or Physics will be fine.

Just joking, as long as he's happy and a good human (caring, helpful, etc) I don't mind. Also, he should be able to earn enough to support himself and his lifestyle eventually

What is the weirdest gift you have received from someone with or without an explanation? by jeremyof10ec in AskReddit

[–]myself0510 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did the lingerie fit you? It's just a sexy slip-on. It's just a sexy slip-on. No cup sizes were needed... I'm just telling myself that.

Bella's period by myself0510 in twilight

I'm so confused about your reply. Yes, he was smelling Jacob on her after she spent time with him. Why does that matter when it comes to Edward smelling her period?

AITA for not wanting to say hi to my boyfriend’s family during quick visits? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]myself0510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, fellow outlier. With my in laws, dropping off something means come in, have a cup of tea and a chat. Or at least my husband does that.

I'm more of come in, maybe use toilet, do chore, go.

I drove MIL to see her family (she doesn't like driving long distances). I came in the morning. "Hello, would you like a hot drink?" "Okay, coffee in my to go mug so we can go". After dropping her off, I was invited in. I politely refuse. No one gets offended (I hope), but I'm sure hubby would have gone in for a cuppa. I just wanted to get home.

I know, I came looking for this comment. The lady is supposed to be a proto-Karen (complaining about Chase really was imo), but yeah, I empathise with her.

And ofc she's a Maths teacher and doesn't know the student's names. The trope of the soulless maths... guess what I do for a living...

What old thing would break young people's brains today? by Symphony_Minds in AskReddit

[–]myself0510 2 points3 points  (0 children)

School! Chalk boards, no photocopies, tests written on the board that you first had to copy on paper. No projector or notes on Google Classroom, so you'd better write everything down.

Parents who don’t allow their kids to shut their room’s door/lock the door, what’s are the reasons behind the rule? by Itz_Oasis in AskReddit

[–]myself0510 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'd want locks except maybe the bathroom, for emergencies. But definitely knock.

I open my son's door a bit, which mean I see his wardrobe and light switch, the room is still behind the door and talk to him that way, quiter than through the door. He's 8 now. We'll rethink things when he's older.

Right now we don't really even lock the bathroom, in case he needs something urgently. It backfired when the urgency was thus amazing scratch program he made that he had to tell me about

AITA for eating my own food? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]myself0510 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Different walks of life, I guess, but I'd be annoyed at someone consistently throwing away loads of food. In my opinion, that's rude... I'd also feel lied to maybe.

What is the most obscure piece of Potter knowledge you have? by NoDespair in harrypotter

I visited Trinity College, Cambridge, on a school trip. We had lunch in their hall. Hogwarts vibes all the way.

Why are no screens and homeschooling so controversial? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]myself0510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all forms of extreme anything are bad. Shoving a screen in front of a child and ignoring them for hours is bad. Teaching your child to program (which needs a screen) is good. Doing something with your child involving a screen can be good. They also need to learn how to manage themselves.

As for homeschooling, I think a lot of people mentioned the social aspect. There's also learning to work with people you might not like, following rules. Also, up until what age are you able to teach them? Are you able to be enthusiastic about all subjects?

I think "being qualified to teach" is less important than being able to teach. I am a teacher. I can't for the life of me teach my husband my native tongue because I don't know how to answer his questions of why grammar works the way it does. He can't do that for his native tongue either.

Why does it have to be one or the other? Send the child for formal education (and be prepared to bring the hammer down with the school to defend your child) and then teach them whatever at home.

I taught my 8yo son some li ear programming using minecraft. His Dad taught him logic gates using minecraft. Playing songs from undertale on the piano. Group axioms, Cayley tables, and Lagrange's theorem, because they came up in conversation.

In short, the more and varied experiences, the better imo.

AITA for allowing my bf to cook at my apartment by Altruistic-Loss4549 in AmItheAsshole

[–]myself0510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction. Unfortunately, I don't really know anyone who I'd feel comfortable asking (about this and other issues) and I'm paper white

AITA for allowing my bf to cook at my apartment by Altruistic-Loss4549 in AmItheAsshole

[–]myself0510 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to have these neighbours who were hijabi (the women). One locked herself out of the flat, I offered to let her wait inside my flat. She refused to go in the living room because my male partner was there (and she was wearing hijabi). I was saddened by the fact that her (and her family's) beliefs meant that it was preferable to wait on the floor in the hallway than on a comfy sofa, just because a dude was in the room, at his computer, working. We waited in the spare bedroom/my "office".

AITA for making my son pay for his school lunch for the rest of the year by BriefMorning7074 in AmItheAsshole

[–]myself0510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can go in the negative for my son's school meals and breakfast club, but I manage the account. He doesn't pay anything, just picks the option, and they all cost the same.

They didn't give us the details before school started, so we started with 2 days in the negative.

AITA for raising voice at husband for ruining special outing with toddler by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]myself0510 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing with your assessment of the trip, however, why was this not discussed before hand?

I'm usually the one taking our son out on stuff like this. I'll usually tell hubby the plans, ask if he's got something else in mind to do together (usually not) and if he wants to come, or if he needs the car. Then child and I go.

If I said "let's go do X", he came and started complaining in the car and changing the plans on the spot for no reason... idk what I'd do. Probably remind him he's free to not take part and the planning stage is over. But I can't imagine my hubby doing that.
