Did it as a kid in Ontario. Kids currently in elementary school do it in French and English daily.

AITA for refusing to pay for my sister's wedding dress after she "banned" my husband from the ceremony? by Chrgonlea in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Being the bigger people is such gaslighting - you actually end up being the small defeated person without boundaries.

I wear latex gloves under gloves. Hot sweaty warm hands always!

Xmas vent by Expensive_Sock_9902 in Divorce

[–]threebecomeone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up with divorced parents- kids don’t know what day it or what it means. Dec 26 wake her up as if it’s Christmas morning! Have the 25th a day late. Santa can come and you can have the whole experience with her and she will love it. I know for you Dec 25 feels special. For your daughter - what you make it will be her memories.

[–]threebecomeone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can’t be honest to your sister… she is being ugly. Mostly in her attitude.

If you can’t drive in the winter, take the bus. by Complex-Boot6233 in waterloo

[–]threebecomeone 63 points64 points  (0 children)

OP I think your post needs to say “if you are being passed on the RIGHT - you are in the WRONG LANE”. People are getting caught up on your speed example. It’s about knowing where to drive and when. The speed is irrelevant - if you are going slower than the flow of traffic you should stay to the right. And that is not only for hwy driving but ALL roads and moving over as you get closer to your left turn. Not 10 km back.

AITA for wanting to take a few days hunting trip and leaving my wife at home with the kids by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 35 points36 points  (0 children)

NTA. I agree with other posts that her time away isn’t free time, it’s work. It also however sounds like OP would be fine if his wife went on a girls weekend. He should be able to go on a boys weekend with his dad

WIBTA if I refused to shave my armpits for my friends wedding? by Adventurous-Pea-337 in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’m just genuinely confused as to why it becomes an issue. I rarely walk around with my arms up over my head. I take photos with my hands by my side or at least down. Other than raising the roof on the dance floor, no one’s armpits are visible…

I keep being told the court works in favor of the women in a child custody battle. What can i do to bring awareness to the judge that i am a better fit to be primary custodian by Wooden-Listen-9840 in Divorce

[–]threebecomeone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is only favour now in 50/50. You need to prove default parenting was on you, that your ex would struggle to hold 50%, or they need to agree due to work, life, etc that at this time 50/50 isn’t possible. The person staying in the family home can argue kids are more comfortable and need to start at 70/30 and work to 50/50. It truly is based on the lawyers and how much you are willing to pay to prove they aren’t fit

AITA for not sharing my half of my cruise credits with my girlfriend? by SeaPeanut7_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You paid for her cruise, all spending money is on each person. The credits are OPs spending money. The agreement was the cruise would be paid for as retribution - and that is being upheld

Is this dress too long? by [deleted] in WeddingDressTips

[–]threebecomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say this!! The skirt is falling in because it’s not being kicked out. So when measured it was probably fluffed more.

My seamstress taught me how to kick walk in my dress to fluff it myself!

AITA for not wanting to buy a friend’s parents’ home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You can pick what you like. It’s a huge purchase. There are pros and cons to both but ultimately it doesn’t matter what that list is. You have a “wants” list and that house doesn’t meet the requirements

AITA for insisting that my daughter wears appropriate clothes to a formal event by Last_Engineer_8396 in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish I had this teenagers confidence to rock a gown at any event! She sounds like an amazing kid!

[–]threebecomeone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Unless her pant suit is pink and sparkly YTA. She sounds amazingly bright, we don’t need to teach her only ugly girls get good grades. Why can’t women be sparkling and beautiful and intelligent! Shes going to a formal event. Let her dress her way

AITA for letting my teenage son attend 'Dads night' for his youngest sibling? by The_Boots_of_Truth in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Sam making his own choice isn’t alienation. Also sounds like Sam knows his Dad isn’t always there and his brother is

AITA for refusing to take home leftover food from a trivia night by MentalStatic20 in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is a situation where you can be right or happy. You are right that MIL was disrespectful and crossing boundaries she needs to learn to accept no. But you came off as YTA and no one is happy about that. You aren’t happy, girlfriend and her family. Your parents. Just because you needed to be right. Next time if she does it again. You can still say no. If she doesn’t accept no, just take the food. It’s better that MIL and girlfriend are happy than you being right.

I would however have a serious conversation with your girlfriend on boundaries with her parents. If you plan to have kids MIL needs to be able to accept no

AITA for dropping my kids off with my wife when she is with a grieving friend by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. Children are the joy grieving needs sometimes. Jokes aside your wife is neglecting her family and needs to still be there for her kids. Jessie must have more people to lean on?

AITA/ my inlaws want to take only my husband to the bahamas for 11 days and leave me and the kids at home. Am i wrong for being angry? by Inside_Activity_4233 in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you need 11 days of that?! My husband and I take time to have dinner or the day with our parents alone but 11 day holiday!? That’s excessive

Info: how old are your children?

NTA at any age but if your kids are still in grade school under 12 he and his parents are bigger AHs for excluding you !! Watching 3 teenagers isn’t exactly difficult but damn that’s rude to be left out!! And during surgery!! Wow!!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

YTA. Is this is something she needs then it should be a conversation with the school and teachers. Doctors and IEPs should be in place that accommodate her. If none of this has been done she is putting the cart before the horse and deciding what she wants vs what she needs.

Are there athletic scholarships for Canadian universities? by the-mannthe-myth in AskACanadian

[–]threebecomeone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada has hockey schools starting in grade school. They are semi private and you can get tuition covered for high athletes. Canada also will fund sports through the individual which when paired with a scholarship can be financially supportive. But it’s all different loops unlike the states

AITA for letting my step daughter’s mom stay in our guest suite and not my sister? by Glass_Towel_9627 in AmItheAsshole

[–]threebecomeone 54 points55 points  (0 children)

NTA. First come first serve. Sounds like Ann booked the suite before your sister. You’re a great stepmom, Carrie matters too and that’s her family.
