Man Doesn't Want His Child to Call His Mom's Boyfriend ‘Grandpa' Because It Feels ‘Disrespectful' to His Late Dad
'She kept referring to her partner as Grandpa to my son which I felt was disrespectful to my dad who is and would have that title,' he wroteNEED TO KNOW A man said that he doesn't want his son to call his mother's boyfriend 'Grandpa' The man explained that his father died four years ago, and he's not particularly close to his mom's new partner He shared his story on Reddit, where people weighed in on whether the man was being too harshA man said that he doesn't want his son to refer to his mom's boyfriend as 'Grandpa' — and it's causing tension within his family. The man detailed his story on Reddit's 'Am I the A------' forum, where he explained that his parents have been divorced since 'the early 2000s' and that his father 'unexpectedly passed four years ago.' He also said that his mother has been dating a man for about a year and a half. While he doesn't have a particularly 'good relationship' with the man, they "remain respectful toward each other.' The original poster (OP) went on to say that he and his wife just had their first baby together, adding that his mother and her partner recently visited his newborn son for the first time. 'She kept referring to her partner as Grandpa to my son — which I felt was disrespectful to my dad,' the OP said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The man said that he ultimately 'kicked up a fuss' about it, at which point his mother 'got mad' and both she and his mom's partner 'left abruptly.' The OP clarified that he didn't 'shout or swear' during the exchange, but he also acknowledged that he 'probably came across as abrupt.' 'AITA [am I the a------]?' he asked at the end of his post. The majority of commenters told the man that they understood where he was coming from in this specific scenario, and they hoped his mother would also eventually come to see his feelings as valid. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'NTA [not the a------],' said one person. 'She simply doesn't get to decide something like that for you or your son. Don't apologize to her. Her partner doesn't have to have a special title, and if she can't accept that, she doesn't have to see your child.' 'NTA,' agreed someone else. 'Four years in the context of grieving a parent, especially one you lost unexpectedly, really isn't much time at all.' The same person added, 'You just had a baby; the feelings about losing a parent as you enter [...] fatherhood yourself can't be easy to cope with right now. Plus, you don't have a great relationship with her partner. I think your mom crossed the line. How she reacts to you pointing that out will be pretty important.' 'NTA. They've only been together for a year and a half. Your mom is out of order here. I've got sauce bottles older than that!' someone else said jokingly. Others took a more nuanced approach. 'NAH [no a------- here],' said one person. 'You could (and probably should) have addressed the name thing beforehand. Blowing up at her, while understandable, wasn't the solution.' 'It's your choice, but I think it may be limiting,' said someone else. 'Your kid is not going to have the same dynamic as you do with your family/extended family members. [Your] mom's partner may not be close to you, but could end up being a loving grandparent to your kid and close to them if you allow things to unfold naturally.'

Lyall Cameron slammed for 'disrespect' as Rangers new boy comes under fire for Dundee 'jibes'
Lyall Cameron has been slammed for 'disrespect' over his comments regarding old club Dundee after his move to Rangers. Russell Martin pitched him in from the start in the thumping of Viktoria Plzen last night as he rang the changes following his weekend blast at his players for dropping points at Motherwell. The midfielder - alongside team-mate - Cyriel Dessers - were namechecked for praise and both started the 3-0 Champions League third qualifying round win with James Tavernier and Nico Raskin two of the four bodies to drop out of the XI. READ MORE: World media reacts as Rangers leave Viktoria Plzen 'burning' and praying for Champions League miracle READ MORE: How Tavernier and Raskin reacted to bad Rangers news says 'everything' as Russell Martin offers peek inside tough chats BBC Sport Scotland shared an interview with Cameron where he compared his old and new surroundings. He insisted it was like a different world while also making reference to him being 'a full-time football player' - a comment that hasn't gone down too well. Record Sport columnist Tam McManus was quick to react to the footage, branding it 'pretty disrespectful'. He wrote on X: "Second time he has said something like this. Pretty disrespectful to Dundee FC and the coaches who gave him the opportunity and platform to go and play for a bigger club." Speaking to BBC Scotland, Cameron said: "To be honest it's been a totally different world. The speed of play and intensity and everything is totally different. "It's almost like a different world for me, to be honest. A different job now that I am here. It is a full-time football player. Whereas it is a bit different in Dundee. "So obviously it took a bit of getting used to and I had a few niggles here and there just because the intensity and demands are so high. "Now that my body has got used to that, and I am kind of coping a bit better, I am really enjoying the challenge." Fans also took to social media to react to the clip. One said: "Really poor comments here, very disrespectful to where he came from." Another posted: "He's lost a lot of my respect there." A further punter added: "Please get him some media training. He is going to get himself into lots of trouble." On the park, boss Martin was full of praise for the 23-year-old after the opening day draw at Fir Park. That was enough to convince him to put him in from the off and he didn't disappoint his boss or fans. He said: 'Lyall was fantastic. His energy helped the team a lot and he did exactly what we asked him to do. 'He showed real moments of quality and his willingness to run for the team selflessly was immense. 'I'm really pleased with him because we've made a lot of signings and he's probably gone under the radar a little bit. 'But he's desperate to learn and do well. He has a lot of attributes and I've been really impressed with him. He'll help us.'

Polymarket slammed for ‘disrespectful' dildo throwing bets after second man is arrested at WNBA game
Critics are calling out Polymarket after it promoted bets on whether or not Women's pro basketball games will be interrupted by someone in the crowd throwing a dildo onto the court. 'Announcing: Dildo dailies,' the Polymarket Sports X account posted on Wednesday. 'You can now bet on which day(s) dildos will hit the WNBA court.' So far, bettors have traded almost $500,000 worth of bets on which games will be interrupted by sex toys being hurdled at the female athletes, even going as far as to bet on the colour of the martial aids. Yet many were not enthused by the new opportunity. 'This is so disrespectful to the women professionals who play in the WNBA,' one person said in response to the post. 'Imagine this was your daughter or sister and they played in the WNBA and this was being done at their games.' 'This type of stuff literally incentivises people to throw dildos onto the court,' said another. Viral trend It comes after a man was arrested at a Phoenix Mercury game on August 5 after throwing a dildo towards the court, allegedly hitting a man and his nine-year-old niece. It's the second arrest since July 29, when a sex toy was first thrown onto the court during a Women's National Basketball Association game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream. The promotion of betting surrounding the sexist trend could encourage even more copycat incidents, critics say. Both arrested alleged dildo throwers said they pulled the stunts in an attempt to go viral on social media. Polymarket declined a request for comment. To be sure, Polymarket isn't the only platform letting users bet on WNBA games being disrupted by sex toys. BetOnline, an online gambling firm that was among the first to let gamblers bet with Bitcoin in its online poker rooms, also offers a range of similar dildo-based bets. More controversy Polymarket jumping on the dildo throwing trend also feeds into claims that crypto has a misogyny problem. A 2024 report from Association for Women in Cryptocurrency found that 82% of approximately 400 women surveyed believed the industry is not free from harassment. Multiple women have spoken out about alleged sexual misconduct and said the crypto industry suffers from a culture of sexism. It's also another setback for Polymarket, which has been hit by several controversies in recent months. In June, bettors came to blows over the disputed outcome of a betting market that asked if Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky had worn a suit. In January, the betting platform faced backlash after it let users gamble on the level of destruction wrought by the California wildfires. Running interference In addition to disrespecting players, some have pointed out that the dildo-throwing markets could easily be manipulated. 'What would stop someone from making a bet then going to a game to throw said dildo on the court for the win?' one onlooker pointed out. 'We're entering the stage where prediction market bettors don't just predict outcomes, they interfere to make them happen,' John Wang, a crypto founder, said on X. The activity echoes previous viral crypto trends that have encouraged and rewarded reckless and outrageous behaviour. In November, a middle-school student went viral after netting $30,000 from a memecoin 'rugpull' on and raising his middle fingers to those he had just burned. The same month, a man livestreaming on faked his suicide in an attempt to promote his memecoin. Tim Craig is DL News' Edinburgh-based DeFi Correspondent.
