Tldr; Guy meets blind girl. They date. Guy gets his shit together. She proposes. They get married.
- Comment on AITA for making my daughter miss once-in-a-lifetime events (homecoming and senior prom) and delete all of her social media as punishment for bullying? 1 year ago:
There’s a lot to the story that I don’t know about so I won’t be making a judgment call. However, teenagers who’ve fallen into the rabbit hole of racism and bullying aren’t easy to pull back. Whatever punishment you decide on, if it’s as harsh as that, you need to be prepared for the possibility that it may completely alienate your kid for the rest of your life.
The point of punishing her shouldn’t be for the sake of punishment, but rather to teach her how to become a better person. You can’t teach her anything if she disappears from your life. I don’t know you or her enough to know how she’ll react.
Personally, I feel that cancelling prom wouldn’t teach teenagers to stop bullying but it will teach them to hate their parents.
As for social media, instead of deleting the account and years of pictures, it would be better to deactivate the account in some way that doesn’t entail permanent deletion, and give it back to her once she has learned her lesson.
I’m going to be blunt. The way you talk about punishment feels like an outlet for your anger. And you every right to be, given what she’s done. But please remember that your daughter’s behavior isn’t set in stone. Take the steps that will actually rehabilitate her, not just punish her. Get her to write an apology letter, get her to post one last time on social media about what she did and issue an apology. Get her to offer an in person apology to the victim or parents (if that’s what they want). Make her write an essay on the impact of bullying.
Whatever you decide to do, get her to stop the hate, not hate you for the rest of her life.
- Comment on AITA for trying to stop my wife from making a bad decision and protect my daughter from humiliation? 1 year ago:
YTA. Not because I don’t agree that bullying is an issue with the name ‘Karen’, but because of how dismissive you are towards the importance of her mother when you were so eager to name your son after your uncle.
Plus her mother died when my wife was a teenager so I have never met this woman so I don’t feel naming my daughter after her.
Her feelings towards her mother are equally valid and the name carries a significance to her that goes beyond what people on social media think. The issue here is that your outright rejection of the name ‘Karen’ instead of coming to a compromise is the problem. In her eyes, you got the name the boy after someone important to you, and she doesn’t get to do the same with the girl. Essentially, it appears as though your feelings towards your uncle matter, and her feelings towards her mother doesn’t.
A good compromise might be to have Karen as a middle name and come up with a different first name, or the other way around. A good way of getting her to see your perspective might be to find someone named Karen (like her mom) and ask them what it has been like for them since the name has been relegated to ‘an entitled woman’. Maybe show her graphs of how the name has declined in popularity because of cyber bullying.

Bra cups are relative to band size. For reference, a 36C is roughly the same volume as a 32E. These are call sister sizes.
I’m tired of guys saying ‘uwu G-cups’ without any context. A 30G is the same as a 42B. Start asking what their band size is ffs. It’s like saying 'she weighs 120’. 120 what? Bags of flour?
