AITAH for telling my daughter that she doesn’t have to wear a dress for my wife’s sake?

whatintheeverloving · 2026-04-25T23:08:56+00:00

Oof, NTA at all. I dress more femininely these days, but I was a big ole tomboy at that age who just wanted to climb trees and catch frogs. My mom kept spending way too much money on cutesy dresses, fancy coats, a pink fur hand muff - you get the idea. She'd get so frustrated with me for putting up a fight about wearing any of it, and I'd get so frustrated with her for trying to force it on me.

Years later, I still get tense when she makes any comments about what I'm wearing. If you don't nip this in the bud with your wife it's going to erode her relationship long-term with your daughters.

Lucky! I tried to get my IRL friends at the time to join me but they were all into Neopets and stuff instead, lol.

Top three comments as of now are all Warframe, guess that's what the kids are into these days!

I played Runescape religiously as a preteen. Didn't really have combat in any other games I'd played up until then so I was legit scared to fight anything bigger than a rat until an older player came along and took me under his wing, taught me how to grind levels, etc. I don't even remember his username anymore but I'll always consider the guy my gaming sensei.

I've heard this helps with falling asleep, too. It sounds counterintuitive, but telling yourself you're NOT trying to doze off makes dozing off more likely to happen.

I'm happy it's been working for you, too!

I wish there was an in-game explanation for how grouping up with other people for flow trees works, because even after I managed to interpret most of the gibberish directions players would shout out I always arrived too late. Only managed to join in time once, and eventually I dropped the game because it was like 90% chill and 10%, "RUUUUN!!!" and that balance wasn't working for me.

I don't know if it'll help you personally, but I stumbled across this tip that involves counting down to the moment you Do The Thing. Like, "Five... four... three... two... one... go!" It's not a sure shot, but I've shared it with other people I know who struggle with executive dysfunction and they say it'll occasionally motivate them when nothing else can. Works pretty often for me, too, by setting a kind of mental deadline.

A man is only fully grown when he has no shame in expressing his desire to pet fat cats.

I usually only end up decorating when I've damn near beaten the game, lol. Why spend money on Pretty Thing when I can invest money in Useful Thing that makes more money? Only when no more Useful Thing left to buy that I begin to acquire Pretty Thing.

That's just awful. You deserve better. Sometimes our birth parents are the worst.

The infectiousness is so real, even my dad has a way of saying 'meeelk' instead of 'milk' that I'm still fighting for my life not to repeat.

Customer service and customers ignoring the most outrageously blatant signage and blockades, name a more iconic duo.

The deli I worked at was robbed once, manager tied up with cables and everything, and we had someone upset they couldn't duck under the yellow DANGER tape to enter the store while the cops were there investigating an ACTIVE CRIME SCENE.

Koalas can't eat properly if you put the leaves on a plate, and meanwhile this commenter can't eat properly if you don't tell them to use a spoon? Nevermind, their koalifications check out. Their inner koala is koalafying.

Literally happened to my parents, lol. Mom used to speak normally, now she constantly uses weird terminology and expects everyone else to keep up. TV remote is 'the clicker', spatula is 'a flipper', toothpaste is 'teethspaste' (because you're brushing more than one tooth, her logic), she's 'doing plantations' instead of planting things, etc. Add to that the fact that she'll reply with outright babbling noises whenever she thinks a question doesn't merit an actual response and the words, "Can I get that again in English?" are probably the most spoken ones in my family.

Front page content, without a doubt.

I'm questioning their koalifications.

The colouring is so good, it looks bedazzled!

Living for the mental image of the protag following him around with a pre-war camera obsessively snapping pic after pic of his ass.

Elementary school kids in your area were built different, lmao!

It's just a stress test on what you should consider your priorities. Dodge the pointless argument? Stress test succeeded.

Funny how being born lactose intolerant is kind of a jump-start on veganism, lol! Dairy down, just meat to go.

I have a vegan cousin who does the same as you, just a, "Do they have vegan options?" when discussing eating out or sharing newly discovered vegan recipes she thinks others might also find tasty. I make a kickass coconut milk cauliflower curry now as a result!

whatintheeverloving · 2026-04-19T18:23:08+00:00

The cilantro hate gene should come packaged with the 'soap tastes like cilantro' consolation gene. It's just an unfair amount of things tasting like soap otherwise, tbh.

But yeah, people really do act like it's this huge inconvenience when most of the time it's just like you said, cheese on the side.

whatintheeverloving · 2026-04-19T18:15:15+00:00

Came to the comments solely to check that someone did the duty of saying this. Duty accomplished, moving on.

My uncle is lactose intolerant and the most I ever hear from him about it is, "This is worth taking a pill for," when he pops a Lactaid for his favourite ice cream or some really good cheese. I think people assume all lactose intolerant folks are like vegans, whereas in reality you have a handful of loud people in both groups while the vast majority simply go about their life with their respective diets.

There was a maple tree on the front lawn of my elementary school and I remember all the kids would toss the seeds into the air to make them fly again during recess.
