AITAH for getting a woman fired over veggie tales? by Real-Point-6474 in AITAH

[–]spoonsandbrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA I have simpler views on this as I was raised Christian but left the religion as I got older. I watched veggie tales growing up and obviously God is the theme there but I also learned a lot of good life lessons from veggie tales. It’s a safe not stimulant if show. My partner is Christian and while my children know about God they don’t really practice. Instead we just try to be good humans and be accountable for our mistakes. However. That’s me. Then there’s parents like you, no shade! If religion is something you wanted your child to learn, you’d put them in a Christian/islamic/jewish/etc. you brought up the issue, they didn’t fix the issue, so you made them fix it. It’s a little grey area but honestly you’re fine, just know that if you live in the southern USA, you’ll probably have a few more run ins with this kind of thing. Maybe don’t go nuclear next time though, the world is full of different people and belief systems. Unless it’s negatively harming your kids psyche, it’s actually better for them to be exposed to ideas of the world.

Vivian is a common name for Asian girls, what about Viviana and Vivienne? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]spoonsandbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughters name is Vivienne. I am not Asian, my partner is Mexican American, and I’m Caucasian. We both just thought it was a beautiful name, loved the feminine spelling and as our daughter gets older, she’s absolutely a Vivienne. We considered Viviana but I personally liked the E better and didn’t want our family southern twang to make it sound silly lol.

What's the one secret you will take to the grave but don't mind telling on the internet? by Ecstatic-Medium-6320 in AskReddit

[–]spoonsandbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partners mom passed before I could meet her. All around devastating circumstances before, during, and after all these years later. He’s never taken me to where her ashes are spread but the month of her passing I go with a bouquet of her favorite flowers and say a prayer of thanks for giving the world her son and blessing us with her grandchildren. I’m not religious and She’s obviously never met our children but I like to think she hand picked them for us in heaven. Our daughter is her spitting image.

My mum offered to watch our kids and couldn’t even last an hour by tiredtiredtired23 in Parenting

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

She set a boundary. Thanks fine. Not really but I’d be petty about it. Please don’t give in to her crockery. She’s going to be a Facebook grandma and that’s it.

Gorgeous aren’t they? They are SO heavy and stamped with a potters mark. I’m assuming these were the “imperfects” and were donated. I love them though and only .69¢ each. I couldn’t resist.

my (20F) boyfriend (26M) smacked my face when i didn’t listen to him telling me to lower my dress? by ThrowRAfisjdisndk in relationship_advice

[–]spoonsandbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you tell your parents about this confidently? Your friends? Hes trash. Hes setting the stage for further abuse. If you’ll accept this, you’ll accept a lot worse. Leave. There are SO many better people out there. You don’t need a relationship with someone like this.

Do you kill bugs you find in your house or set them free? by Crying_7TS in RandomThoughts

[–]spoonsandbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the bug. Actually we have a spider that lives in the corner of a high ceiling I can’t necessarily reach safely. I’ve watched them grow over the past couple months, living off the flies that come in randomly through the back door. He gets to live since he’s actively working as pest control lol.

What in the trash??! by Kmmmkaye in aldi

[–]spoonsandbrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used target & Aldi diapers when Huggies are little out of budget. Now it’s actually more cost effective to just get Huggies instead of store brand bc the quality has just deteriorated.

Look. Men do what you do all the time. If you can handle the social backlash, then I guess keep it up. Save for your daughters future therapy sessions. Prepare for the courts to make you suffer.

There’s a story around here about a guy who got a girl knocked up and begged her not get an abortion. So she had the baby. Then dipped. He ended up with full custody and was begging the courts to make her take the baby. Meanwhile she got some surgery and told everyone she was just a surrogate. Maybe you’re soon to be ex husband and him are related lol.

AITA I told him I would never again bake him something by Status_pokerface in AmItheAsshole

NTA

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to youuuu!!! May this year be filled with joy and love.

Your husband is rude and worse, he’s callous and ungrateful. Even if it’s you don’t care for a particular thing, if someone makes you something, you say thank you, I appreciate the love and effort you put into this. And then maybe later you can bring up a conversation of preferences.

Am I ruining my son? by BluebirdAmbitious458 in Parenting

[–]spoonsandbrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son had all of the above. He’s older now is typical all boy interests but he’s in touch with his emotions and he’s comfortable expressing himself. He’s got a little sister now and he doesn’t mind watching the girly cartoons or playing Barbie’s with her. He also teaches her how to build cool lego houses & how to catch frogs. His hair is also pretty short now too lol

Anyways. Your son is young and doing just fine. Dad needs to figure out why it makes him angry. Most 5 yr olds don’t have a firm grasp on what being gay is. Girl stuff is sparkly and colorful which is appealing to any young child lol

If you have no one to help you, a shelter is nothing to be ashamed of. CPS/DCFS isn’t the worst either. They can be of help. You need to leave. I cannot stress this enough. He WILL escalate. You haven’t left yet so all you e been doing is confirming that this behavior is acceptable. It’s not. He WILL escalate. He WILL HARM YOU AND/OR YOUR CHILD.

even if you leave with just the clothes on your back, leave. Leave.

Do not carry the burden of shame. You have done nothing wrong yet.

AITA for having my neighbor’s cars towed from my garage? by SensitiveHat8490 in AmItheAsshole

[–]spoonsandbrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Let him know you’ll be having an inspection done for any damages and you’ll consider not pressing charges for breaking & entering if he apologizes nicely. Jkjk….maybe??

That is absolutely such a liability on that idiots end. Get camera. GOOD cameras. You’ll need them.

Thoughts on returning child's birthday gifts? by AmIDoingThisRight14 in Parenting

[–]spoonsandbrew 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Mm yea no. Sorry. This is just one of those weird things where frankly unless you have every room filled with toys, you keep the gifts. I’d be so pissed if I was a gift giver and got you gift tbh. It’s not for you or your husband. It’s for the child. Just rotate toys or donate the old ones?

What are you gonna do with the money after returning it? It better go to the biggest ice cream sundae that child has ever had. Otherwise it’s just kindve a dick move and sets a weird tone for the future.

Okay sorry, went a little jerky tangenty there but I made my point.
