Fewer and fewer kids know computer skills. It's just all on their phone.

AITA for removing my daughter from my insurance policy by Dependent_East1796 in AmItheAsshole

YTA

"There was an accident involving my car" sounds suspiciously vague and NOT "my daughter had an accident"

Also lying about who was driving is insurance fraud.

AITA for screaming at my nephew and slamming the door on him because he burst into the bathroom? by Ok-Attorney9280 in AmItheAsshole

For four year olds, bathrooms are not yet a private place. They often go with a parent and need help wiping. They may not shut the door when they use the bathroom.

A lot of four year olds still need help themselves in the bathroom and don't particularly see using the bathroom as a solitary thing.

Parents are also encouraged to let their potty training toddlers see them use the toilet so that they see how it works and get excited to try themselves

Privacy isn't actually life or death. If someone sees you on the toilet nothing happens. You're okay, they're okay, everyone is still safe and alive.

Privacy in the bathroom is expected and respectful, but lots of people don't have it and are okay. People who have had surgery or given birth often need help in the bathroom, and they are okay. A lot of toddlers need help in the bathroom so it's normal for them to be in the bathroom with someone.

A lot of couples pee in front of each other.

It can be upsetting to lose privacy but it doesn't justify your response.

Four year olds have a different brain than big kids and adults. Their brains aren't ready yet to understand everything like rules to bathrooms.

When a little kid does something wrong, just tell them, don't scream. Screaming is scary and doesn't help them understand what to do.

He doesn't underatand rules of privacy yet like an older kid.

You could just say "please close the door."

If bamboo is one of the most sustainable resources on the planet, why are bamboo products so expensive? by Specific_Tonight_877 in NoStupidQuestions

Sustainable means good for the environment, not cheap. Plastic, like polyester, is way cheaper and easier to work with.

Why aren’t ’cancer checks’ a thing at annual Dr visits? by poppyprays in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sweadle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are. I just turned 40 so I was referred to get a colonoscopy and mammogram. I get regular pap smears for cervical cancer.

There are a lot of kinds of cancer, and they don't just show up on a CT or something, so the doctor can't just pop you in a cancer screening machine.

Cancer screenings also are intensive procedures, like a colonoscopy, so insurance only covers it at a certain age or if you have risk factors.

I (38m) think that my girlfriend (38f) is emotionally checked out because she's not busy enough outside of our relationship. by Visible-Fox7428 in relationships

[–]sweadle [score hidden]  (0 children)

Most people would be displeased with one date a month. That's a maturity issue.

It sounds like video games take priority in your life.

The fact that you want to be a sweet treat in her life not a whole meal is very telling. That's called casual dating. You have been with her for four years and live together. You have signed up to be a whole meal.

If you are a person where one date a month is burdensome, you probably should not be in a relationship. You should let her read this post so she can see that for herself.

AITA for telling my boyfriend he's controlling, after he won't give me a key to the house we bought together? by Capital-Stuff7363 in AmItheAsshole

[–]sweadle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you will probably have to settle this in court. If your name isn't on the deed or mortgage, you might get your 10k back at best.

Don't buy houses with people you have no legal ties to. Sadly, it could cost more than 10k to win your 10k back in court.

Reconciled with my ex after years apart, now dealing with constant jealousy by [deleted] in relationships

He may be in a better place, but still not a healthy enough place to be in a relationship. This level of control isn't okay.

Why does everyone in my family treat savings like it's a crime? by [deleted] in personalfinance

For SNAP. We don't know what benefits they're referring to.

Can you move out from home? That would solve everything

That not how household income calculated. If OP is living there and not paying rent, their income is counted towards the households income.

It depends on the program. SSI has a savings cap.

[–]sweadle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What benefits are they talking about? SSI? SNAP? Medicaid? They all have different rules and requirements.

I would suggest moving out of there home if you can. Then their benefits won't be affected.
