My mom is treating me to a train ride for my birthday. I'll get to ride through autumn foliage and enjoy tea and such. It lasts about 2 hours and I'm excited. 🤗

I do think the age changes it. If it's an 18 year old guy asking about his girlfriend, I also would be like, "hey, that may be a bit much. Old ones are fine." cause they're young. The expectations are lower. If it's an adult woman asking this for her husband, I would say to not give it on their birthday. "Hey, here's my old pair. Happy birthday" may be a bit flippant, but saying, "Hey, I got a new pair, want my old one?" doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Also, we didn't see the post. Maybe the other gifts were also bad. Not saying that AITA isn't a dumpster fire. But he changed the factors and didn't give us all the information.

Edit: I just saw the post. He bought her airpods a few years ago and, with how he's talking, it sounds like he got his around the same time. His wife's are glitching and just generally failing, but his used ones are fine. He says she takes care of them as with the rest of her things. He has the option to get free, new pair. Yeah, that is kind of dickish. "Here's my old headphones that could very well be on their way out as well and have been worn for x years. Please enjoy while I get my brand new set that I've openly told you I don't need. Happy birthday."

If this wasn't her birthday, fine. But on the day? That kind of fucked imo

That's why I said "sometimes" and not, "every child, everywhere, all the time."

Your 23 year old may be really immature still, some kids are not. Depends on the kiddo. However, I don't think forgiving abusive parents is a lesson that should be taught. You can hold someone accountable without hating the rest of the world. I can not forgive an abusive parent and still see the good side of things without being a doormat.

If head wraps/scarves count, then that.

It is insane but it's such a good time. Just read the first chapter.

Told my friend that she was being a terf when she started saying terf shit.

A good movie and a good book. 🤌🏾

Would... Wouldn't women be able to feel that? The idea of feeling that settle and I guess... Die!? If it doesn't get fertilized? WOULD We HAVE TO PASS It BACK OUT!?

🤢🤮

Happened to me. Keep your mouth shut. ❤️

I think it's speaking about women who "allow" bad behavior.

Like, maybe the man's mom used to do all his chores for him without asking, so he comes to expect it. His wife, who is not his mother, says he has to do his own laundry and maybe puts their foot down about the whole "weaponized incompetence" some men use. The man is surprised, because he didn't expect his wife to be "less forgiving" than this mother, who just gave us and did it for him.

For daughters, sometimes daughters (or just children in general) , as an outside observer to the relationship, can tell that one parent is shit (in this case, the father). While the wife may go, "He didn't meant it, he's just tired," the daughter may not be "as forgiving" and just say he is abusive.

However, I don't think either of these are gender specific. Just depnsends on the dynamic at play.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
