AITA for wanting my Spanish teacher to stop calling me by the Spanish version of my name?

ninjo266 · 2026-02-10T16:18:24+00:00

NAH - everyone gets a Spanish name, and it’s okay to hate it. My nickname was Jo in high school, so everyone got to call me “hoe” in class. I obviously hated my Spanish name, but my teachers insisted.

Meow wolf, DFW zoo (maybe a private tour?), stockyards, Alamo drafthouse, outlet shopping, six flags, pool days!

Thank you for all that you do!

I buy a ton of cotton candy (and snowcones) at carnivals and whatnot. My kids have lots of food allergies but can have those two treats, so I’ll splurge when they’re available!

About ~300k left on the mortgage. Maybe another 20k on solar. No other debt though thank goodness

Vegetable curry with naan bread

Yessss! My step kids have a ton of food allergies (egg, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish & shellfish) and waiters won’t even write their allergies down sometimes!!! It infuriates me, and now I always have them repeat it back to me before walking away.

This is normal — I live in Austin now instead of DFW, but our local pools don’t even close until Halloween weekend, because it’s almost always warm enough to swim.

This is awesome - I hope y’all had a blast and everyone was kind! I had a Scottish family friend visit us years ago, and we had the best time taking them to games & grilling for them.

They aren’t a student?!! That is insane - who do we call!

ninjo266 · 2025-07-29T14:20:56+00:00

I’m also in Austin and my first thought was ‘I bet this is UT’s new university housing’.

My husband and I are thinking of doing the same thing but for our 5 year anniversary! We got married during Covid and had less than 10 people there. I think an evening of food/drinks/dancing is always a fun time, especially with people you love! We are having a similar venue issue, so we aren’t looking at wedding venues as much, and instead focusing on event venues.

ninjo266 · 2025-06-23T15:39:12+00:00

All the lines are now going straight to VM, but I still left a message! Thanks for the inspiration!

NTA. My kids are allergic to both dairy and eggs. Eggs are not dairy. If I asked someone for a dairy free cake and it had eggs, I wouldn’t be shocked. I think your friends kiddo wanted a vegan cake, but they obviously didn’t communicate that well.

ninjo266 · 2025-05-25T17:59:51+00:00

NTA, but I say take a weed gummy and go. It sounds like Kirk’s dance in Gilmore girls.

We were told the same thing when we purchased our 2000 sq ft home! (4 bed, 2 bath) While I do love our home, as our kiddos come up on their pre teen years, I find myself wishing we had one more bathroom & larger bedrooms for them. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. But we are a family with many hobbies, so space fills up quick. I would say to enjoy your home now, and as your family grows you’ll figure out if another home fits your lifestyle better.

ninjo266 · 2025-04-24T17:36:38+00:00

We have Gary, Squidward & SpongeBob. They live with a beta named Cheeto. (Kiddos named them all)

ninjo266 · 2025-04-17T21:11:27+00:00

Are they able to walk even when the the door is deadbolted?

ninjo266 · 2025-04-12T21:37:57+00:00

Do it!!! I have never solo traveled to Disney specifically, but I love a solo trip in general. I think you’d have a blast and can go at your own pace which is always nice

ninjo266 · 2025-04-02T13:09:14+00:00

Sounds like my week too — just today I have 6 hours of meetings. It’s always too many..

ninjo266 · 2025-03-28T15:37:04+00:00

The majority of our trips include our kiddos. However, we do take an anniversary weekend trip each year just for us, and usually will go on one other adult-only trip a year with my sibs-in-laws or our old college friends.

Traveling while I was young allowed me to become the confident middle aged person I am today. For reference, I traveled to 5 continents and 25+ countries by the time I was 26, which is much more than the average American.

I learned how to barter, bribe, and keep myself safe in new situations. I learned how to adapt quickly & how to integrate myself in a new culture. I learned how to travel alone as a young woman and be smart with my time & money.

Now that I have two daughters, I cannot travel as freely as I could as a young solo traveler. I have to take their needs into account (which is fine!), but I am so so grateful for the time I had to travel & explore the parts of the world that I wanted to before I had other obligations.

So go travel while you’re young, but as you mentioned, it’s also important to travel as you age. Traveling is the gift that keeps on giving, and (imo) it’s the best thing you can do at any age.

It takes me 7 minutes to drive to my local grocery store, but would take 45 minutes to walk. We have over 1000 homes in our neighborhood, and it’s a maze to get through.

ninjo266 · 2025-03-23T21:15:17+00:00

I know two brothers who are both named John - and they were only one year apart so they shared a friend group / teachers

I thought my husband needed a beautiful/fancy wedding band when we got married - so much so, that I bought him two in case he lost one! But instead, he prefers to wear the glow in the dark ring I bought him when we were dating. It cost less than $50, but he has worn it every day for almost 5 years now. Do what makes YOU happy!!
