It's Really None of Our Business Podcast

What exactly is flirting and is it bad? Is flirting considered cheating?

Monica and Amanda discuss the different ways they flirt. Whether it is laughing with a male friend or making eye contact without breaking it. In Monica’s past life, her husband was continuously angry for her ongoing flirting. The flirting in question often involved innocent interactions.

So, when is it okay to flirt?

Bottom line is that if you are in a relationship and you flirt, it needs to be okay with your partner. Monica feels that flirting is good in a friendship group but not when you are alone.

WTF

I have 4 kids, only 2 are relevant to the story, my 10yo son we'll call Jack, and 8yo son who we'll call Tony. They were playing Mario Kart with each other on their 3DS's, my oldest son knows to let the youngest win, otherwise, he'll throw a tantrum. The boys swapped DS's because Tony's needed to be charged and Jack didn’t really feel like moving from his spot.

As I said, Jack knows to let Tony win but for some reason, he didn't this time. Tony started his usual I didn't win tantrum and threw Jack's 3DS across the room. The console broke, the top screen came off the bottom and the buttons are unresponsive. Jack was upset, and that's why I got mad at him. He had been told repeatedly to let Tony win to avoid a tantrum.

My husband and my two girls (16 and 17) are saying that I should make Tony give Jack his 3ds, but I think it's Jack's own fault for giving him his one and then not letting him come first place. Jack is refusing to share anything with Jack and has hardly spoken to me in days so I'm left to deal with the constant tantrums on my own. AITA?

Amanda and Monica both agree that this bitch is an asshole. Come on Lady! What is wrong with you!? How will you ever teach your child that it is okay to lose, not to mention the fact that your 10-year-old has to suffer because you don't know how to parent.

ASSHOLE!
