I had a boss whos legal first name was "Gerald" but was known by "Greg" Everyone associated with our business knew to call him "Greg" and those people like sales people would call asking to speak to "Gerald XXXXXXX" We would know right away that they did not know Greg and would automatically be asked to leave a message. If they insisted, we told them he was out of the office even though he was sitting right next to you. Even folks at the top corporate level called him "Greg"

I regularly hire people at a college. If i see a resume more than 3 pages, it goes in the trash. I might read it later for kicks but i will never hire them. 1-2 pages is fine, but keep in relevant. 3 pages is really pushing it.

[@Jermbot15]

Yeah, at 3 pages you're not going to read a resume. If the guy actually has 3 resume pages worth of experience, you're either going to look him up other ways or pass on him as over qualified.

[@Andrew-ih2gz]

You mean you don't want to know that I learned Spanish in the third grade and attended Woodshop in highschool in order to hire me for an IT job?! How else will you know how amazing I am?

[@vexxama]

Good rule of thumb. At best theyre overqualified or have bounced around a few things while they figure things out, at worst they’re just padding it out to seem like they’ve done more than they have

[@Akku8581]

I have a friend who legit has 3-4 pages and no references. And the amount if achievements he has is phenomenal, but I keep telling him it's just too much.

[@darkhunter5293]

1st story: You dodged a massive bullet.

[@kpsonicdude]

Story 1: Wow, that ex-boyfriend is definitely toxic. It's not nice to judge people on the way they look. Don't get me started when it comes to cheating in relationships of forces your partner to do thing they dont want to do.Good for the OP for standing up for herself. I hope the ex-boyfriend learned a valuable lesson because he deserved it. I also hope that the OP in this story is doing well in her life.

[@michellecoleman5577]

Pfft don't ask stupid questions, Carol, if you can't handle the answer.

[@angelamurray2725]

Carole said OP disrespected her and wonders why. You don’t bash a kids bio Mum and wonder why. Good grief. I’m also a stepmum and I used to never say anything wrong until the bio mum lied about many things regarding me and our sons Dad. Then I told the truth. But she showed herself up. OP NTA.

[@Jermbot15]

Normally I am all about the step child doing a thorough and dispassionate job of assessing the work their step parent is doing to be a parent. It's so easy for children to take that for granted. But it sounds like this step mom has put in too much work alienating this poster.

[@jerichogarry]

First story: He had it coming, he had it coming? He only has others to blame!

[@lizziekaptain843]

Lol I didn't read this. I sang it.

[@Regimentblade]

If you had been there, if you had seen it, it betcha you would have done the same ‼️

[@princessmarlena1359]

Story 1: **waves conductor’s wand as the orchestra plays the last part of “The 1812 Overture”** Good for OP.

[@casualartist0580]

With the naming tradition, I have one in my family where all the men in the family have Paul as their middle name, because of my great grandpa Paul, but my brother has Paul as part of his middle name, like naming traditions are dumb people shouldn’t be pressured into it, and the parents have the right to name their kid how ever they like

[@dragonhanyu]

4th story: OP, not the jerk. If you don't wanna give your kid the same name as every guy in your family, that's your decision. Just remember, Tradition is peer pressure from dead people.

[@Tubb2581]

Story 5: It's a baby, relex. Unless they're watching the baby everyday when the kid grows up he's gonna say "why are they calling me...."

[@Bigdan678]

As an adopted person myself. I understand the want to know my birth parents. But that gives no right to blame the op if it goes south meeting them

[@QuickManEXE]

Story 1: Well done by the OP to ruin this huge jerks life, and he 100% deserved it too. People like him are among the lowest levels of trash and the OP did the world a favor by exposing him to everyone. Story 2: How on earth is any of this the fault of the OP here? The sister just clearly cannot handle both rejection and the fact that, for whatever reason, the birth family wants nothing to do with them. I get wanting to know your birth family if you are adopted, but if they don't, then you should just let it go. It's obviously going to sting, but no need to start blaming this on someone else and try to get them to fix it or do something. Story 3: No, OP is not a jerk here, but it sure sound like Carole sure has been over the years. I absolutely hate it when step-parents or new spouses come in and try to force things on someone else's children and talk major garbage about the other parent and then somehow have the gall to wonder why they arent liked or loved. Major tough love was needed here... if you can even call it love. I can almost guarantee that the OP will go low to no contact with Carole and the dad once they are able to. Story 4: OP is not a jerk at all here. These kinds of traditions really seem unnecessary and somewhat archaic. You should be able to name your child whatever you want, in this case Ezra, not something your family demands. Also, if this is how your family is treating Ezra now, even refering to him as "The Child", do you really want them to be around him growing up? They all sound terrible. Story 5: I call BS on the fact that the family says that none of this is personal, it 100% is and its pretty obvious. I get wanting some family time, but to constantly exclude the gf like this is really rude and uncalled for. The OP is really caught between a rock and a hard place, but moving forward, i would limit contact if you're ever able to move out, because it sounds like things are just going to continue to get worse. Story 6: The SIL here is a major drama queen here. The OP did absolutely nothing wrong here. The SIL is just trying to stir the pot here for literally no reason here, and if i were the OP, i would just tell her to screw off at this point. Some women like the SIL are just that petty and annoying when it comes to stuff like this.

[@DanielGonzalez-qk6sd]

Story 5: “they sound like they dont have a good reason for not wanting your girlfriend around”. But they do. The family wants to spend *family* time with OP. Not time with OP *and* their GF. And see, id be more sympathetic to OP and the GF if they were together for a long time but a year, really? Nah. Honestly if OP does what AITJ says thats a quick way to get the GF and Op seen in a bad light.

[@Side_Swipe20]

For the first time story BF: I made a calculated decision. Us:…… BF:…. But man am I bad at math

[@viviennemorgan7217]

the ex boyfriend wants op to expose him, so guess what she exposed her ex boyfriend by doing so i hope that he's happy for himself.

[@viviennemorgan7217]

so i hope that op will have a great time without the ex boyfriend.

[@Wolfgirlgamer23]

Story 3:op isnt the ahole and id start calling her step monster if she kept it up

[@KirbysPVS]

There are good ways and bad ways to uphold traditions. If the tradition was giving the first male child "William" as a middle name, then that makes way more sense than as a first name. I speak from experience as I share "Steele" as a middle name with many generations and plan to continue if I get the chance in the future.

[@idiotic_shapeshifter]

realized mid way through the video that the background footages player is the lethal company avatar

[@halahyari8246]

We have a saying in our country every chaild come with their name you just know when you see your child so no it's not your fault to want a special name for your child 😊

[@Dragon_Tamer777]

Story 1 reminds me of MK11 online fight, cuz she accepted the challenge.

[@user-ol9k]

😂😂😂what the heck Why did they name their own son this ?😢😢 😡😡

[@aelminiatures]

why did they name their kid after Jabba the Hutt?

[@kidflaxh5130]

story 5 the op does defend the gf idk what the narrator on about

[@Regden1000]

2nd story. OP isn't the jerk for not being interested in finding out who his biological parents are. I sometimes watch a dutch show called Spoorloos. It is show about adults, they were usually adopted as kids by parents from the Netherlands, who want to find their birth parents and the people of the show help search for their parents and film their experience. Sometimes the birth parents want to connect with the kid(s) they gave up for adoption and sometimes they don't want anything to do with them. So it is best that the OP's sister goes to therapy and learn to accept that their biological parents and family don't want anything to do with her. 3rd story. The OP isn't the jerk, the stepmom is, being pushy about having the OP call and think of you as his/her mother is already a wrong step but talking crap about the OP's biological mother who he/she loves is already too far. The stepmom needs to keep her jealously in check, I mean if someone start bashing something you love or someone you love so openly you wouldn't want to friends with that person much less wanting to treat them as family.

[@Nedvesperec]

To be fair,ezra is a really uncommon name

[@rinvfx]

Ezra 💀

[@SpencerMiller574]

Yeah, that poor kid is probably having a rough time now

[@RetrobowlsportsYT]

I mean Ezra is a goofy ah name

[@tylercanales5794]

I have to ask I’m not trying to make fun of the original poster, sons name and store number three. Are you guys fans of the actor?

[@vexxama]

The name thing is dumb. If you’re guilting and pressuring family into doing it, it’s no longer a tradition, it’s an enforced social obligation, similar sounding but different implication. If I got to that point in that family, I’d take my partners name, drop my first name and say I’m not letting a family tradition I had no say in decide the names of my children. If that’s the hill they want to die on when it doesn’t affect them in any way, their just selfish and meddling in other peoples lives for no apparent practical reason

[@spartan2199]

I disagree with you, with #5, sometimes you just want to spend time in family, without partners, nothing personal, just a family time, I agree that they could include her more often, but that's on the parents, and the plans they have, if the daughter is bringing her partner, that's another story.

[@v.crowley]

Story 5: im with the family on this one.. if they want to spend time together then its as a family.... OP's partner is just a girlfriend.. not a fiancee, not a wife... But is the current person they are sleeping with.. not a family member... And if the gf has to be that controlling to HAVE to be included in OP's time with his parents.. thats obnoxious

[@kidflaxh5130]

true

[@DoctorOaks]

I mostly agree, but I do think it partially depends on circumstances. Like how often do these family outings happen? If OP has very little free time and his family is trying to monopolize it then they could be the controlling ones here. However if it's like once every 2-4 weeks then the girlfriend needs to get over it. If she wants to get closer to the family then the two of them should make plans to visit with the family. Not her commandeer their family time.

[@v.crowley]

@@DoctorOaks nah.. gf needs to be considerate of OPs family or leave... .. I saw my gf .. maaaybe twice a year for the 6yrs we were together.. I accepted her family came first..that was part of the relationship

[@user-jr9ji2pe4b]

Hi is advocating

[@dogofwar6769]

Story 4: OP is the jerk. Not for ignoring the tradition, but for naming his kid 'Ezra'. Seriously, they have trouble with the name 'William' so they decided to name their kid after a crazed actor with nonce energy? That is a BigBrained™ move that's going to get that kid a _lot_ of trouble with bullies when he gets to school.

[@ruairi9109]

I thought that but I doubt people will know of the actor by the time the kid hits school

[@dogofwar6769]

@@ruairi9109 Well the internet is forever.

[@v.crowley]

I can see it... Kid hits middle school and will be bullied as "easy Ezra"

[@SalyxH]

uh where in the story did it say they named him after the actor? iirc it doesnt say that and you're point on "naming him after a crazed actor" is more so your opinion rather than a fact. just because you associate his name with the crazed actor, doesnt mean they named him after the actor.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

Maybe they like the name Ezra? It doesn't have anything to do with the idiot celebrity. That's like if I had a son or daughter and I called them something like "Donald" or "Elsa", they wouldn't immediately think "Oh you got named after the doofus president years ago!" or "So you're named after some Disney princess huh!".
