Dad Thinks Parenting Has Business Hours—Now Redditors Are Shaking Their Head

Husband (we will call Brad), and I have been together 2.5 years. Had our son in January. Things have been pretty great, but this had me feeling kind ?

Brad is diagnosed with autism and ADHD, which can make communication between us challenging at times, but we do our best. We live in Europe, NOT US. Since Brad has AuDHD, he only works at 50%, the other half is covered by a health insurance here on a temporary basis, and every few months he has to keep applying for more.

It is stressful, as we wait for him to hopefully get on a permanent coverage. Since this is so up in the air, instead of me taking a full year of mat leave, he took a majority of the days in case his temp health insurance is denied for some reason, then he can keep his work schedule at 50% and still get paid on the days he has off. Which means I went back to work part time.

I WFH as a private teacher. I choose my hours, since my students USUALLY live in different countries, I chose some in the afternoon when Brad is home with our son, and at nights, when my students would be awake and Brad is also home. I only have one student in the evening, 23:00 - 23:30 twice a week.

This is to help with some income, and we discussed this before I event went back to work. He had asked no students past midnight. So if Baby is having issues sleeping, he can take care...

AITA for forcefully converting my mom's office into my personal bedroom?

English is my 2nd language and I don't speak it on daily basis, so pls don't focus on my way of writing.

Im 16M living with my parents. Their house is very small: just 2 small rooms and 1 tiny common washroom. The first room is obviously my parents' bedroom. However, the 2nd one is my mom's office.

It's occupied by her big table, chair, shelf and other stuff. She's very possessive of her belongings and uses that office for her part-time job. So basically, I never had my personal space. Forget a room, not even a personal little corner.

All I've got is a small cupboard to store all my things. I've to still sleep in my parents' room. Nobody can live in the hall because there's no Air Conditioner there. (Our city is one of the hottest in the world).

To make things worse, I've come out to be a privacy & personal space prioritizing person. My sister (19F) left home for college last year. Imagine the living conditions when she used to live here as well.

I feel extremely suffocated, and have been asking my mom to empty her office to give it to me. There's already a study corner in her bedroom (which I currently use) she can make it her new working space.

But she strongly disagrees. Dad doesn't care at all. Recently I created some space in her office by pushing the table and other things in the corner tightly and started sleeping there. She absolutely hates it. A lot of fights are happening between me...

AITH for snapping and telling everyone that my ex's baby is not my responsibility?

I (24F) was seeing a guy (28M) for a few years. We weren't one of those couples posting each other everywhere or talking about marriage, but we were exclusive and spent most of our time together. Things got complicated last year and we ended things for several months.

During that time we were completely broken up and living our own lives. A few months later he reached out saying he'd done a lot of growing up, wanted a real relationship, and wanted to give us another shot. I still cared about him, so after a lot of conversations I agreed.

Everything seemed great for a while until a woman he'd briefly dated years ago announced she was pregnant. Turns out they'd hooked up during the months we weren't together and the baby was his.

He didn't do anything wrong technically because we were broken up, but the second I found out there was a baby involved, I knew I didn't want that life. I've never wanted to jump into a co-parenting situation, deal with custody drama, or build a future around a situation I had zero part in creating. I ended the relationship and thought that would be the end of it.

Instead, everyone started contacting me. My ex kept saying the baby wouldn't change how he felt about me. His relatives started telling me how much they loved me and how I was exactly what the baby needed. A couple of them even told me I'd be a better mother figure than the child's actual mom, which felt incredibly weird and inappropriate. Then...

AITA For Freezing My BIL's Number, Stopping His Business Cold?

A few months ago, my sister confided in me that she believed her husband was cheating on her. We made plans to find out for sure, and long story short, he was caught red handed. My sister is pursuing divorce and my soon to be former brother in law is fighting it tooth and nail.

She wants him out of the house and he refuses to leave. And the kicker is, he has still been in contact with his affair partner! My sister has been distraught watching this ass going goo-goo eyes over his phone to his side piece in their home.

Now here's the thing. I am the account holder for the family cell plan. Both my sister and the j__kass are on the plan.

So with my sister's blessing... I suspended his phone line. This made him BIG MAD.

He uses his cell for work and to run his business. He stomped and yelled and threatened but I kept that thing OFF and refused to reinstate service. So he took his phone and went off and created his own account.

However, they are unable to port his number without MY authorization. The guy has had this phone number for close to 20 years. It's the number that is on all his business cards and paid adverts.

It's the number that all of his clients and colleagues have. The number all his family and friends have memorized. He came to our house enraged.

My husband met him out in the yard and BIL was screaming at the top of his...

AITA for not complimenting my Friend's Weight Loss?

I (41F) have been friends with 'Kelly' (40 F) since we were in middle school. She has been overweight for most of her life. Her highest was around 350lbs.

For context I've been mostly around the 150 to 180 lb range since high school. Kelly has tried over the years all the diet trends you can think of and nothing really has worked. She will get going pretty well and then stop and gain the weight back.

I would always compliment and encourage her while she was losing but she mentioned this makes her feel self conscious and gets discouraged to keep going, since she feels like she is being treated differently. A little over a year ago, she really went all in. No fads or quick fixes.

Just changed her eating habits, committed to a walking plan and strength training, and other stuff. I'm not sure how much she has lost, but it has to be at least a 100lbs. So proud of her.

While at a party thrown at my house, one of the guest who had not seen Kelly in awhile complimented her for working hard and losing weight. Kelly responded: 'At least someone is happy for me. My so-called friend has not said anything about it and does not seem to care.' I was taken back and reminded her what she told me about praise.

She said I was just being a jerk and felt jealous about her meeting her goals and should have stilled gave at least some encouragement. So now I am confused and wondering if I...

AIO My sister opened up a credit card under my name and I feel like I need to snitch to my parents

I’m 20 she’s 32.

So last year in October my sister came to me saying that she was linking the families passports to are settled status accounts for the eu settlement scheme as we were going on holiday and she wanted to get it over and done with. My cousins were on the phone and were telling me not to give it to her cause I’ve told them all about her past with opening up credit cards and buying phones under other peoples names like my, dad and other brother. She told me she needed to scan my face I then did it and she went off.

A few months later in January I randomly decide to check my credit score it says I dropped by 100 points it states I had missed payment from a company named zilch so I go and check and it says the account was opened up in October 23rd the same day she asked for my details. I then go and ask her is this you she’s denies it I then decide to contact zilch for months and they wouldn’t do anything about it.

I then contact the financial obsumadan people I don’t tell them who did it but I tell them someone stole my details they do a whole investigation at this point it’s like 7 missed payments and they tell me there’s nothing they can do because the photo you provided for us and the face scan that was used to make the account are the same. I then go back to her and she says she...

I (M26) just got cheated on/dumped by girlfriend (F23). Have chance for revenge, should I take it?

Some quick context. My GF of 2 years had to drop out of uni last October due to money issues. I helped her move to my city to start fresh. After a few months of living separately and saving, we moved into an apartment together and she got an awesome job offer. Things were looking great.

Her new job requires her to attend a 3 month training course on a campus in a different part of the country. She’s 2 weeks into this course and she’s just told me that she’s ending our relationship because she’s started f__king another trainee. This means I now have to move out of our apartment because I can’t afford to live here by myself (whereas she can).

So I’ve lost my girlfriend and my apartment and naturally I’m pretty pi**ed. However I know that the training course she is on has a strict ‘no relationship’ policy amongst trainees, and is punishable by exclusion from the course. I’m contemplating sending an email to the company explaining the situation. I don’t have any proof but I’m sure if they monitored her she would get caught out soon enough and sent home.

I don’t know whether or not to do it. I feel like she has just ruined my life, and as much as I’d like to walk away from this situation, part of me wants to get some payback.

What do you guys think? D__k move or karma?

UPDATE: You’re all as indecisive as I am. I’m going day drinking with my Dad and will likely discuss this at...

AITA for telling my gf the reason she’s always sick of because of her poor hygiene?

I don’t think I’m in the wrong here but maybe I’m being unreasonable, I don’t know.

I 24F have been with my gf 22F for about 2 years now. She’s wonderful and I love her a lot. On our very first date, something I noticed was that she didn’t seem very concerned with cleanliness. Something to note is that masks were still mandatory where we live and so covid concerns were still very much a thing. We ended our date by grabbing a snack that she wanted us to bring back to her place. We got there and she immediately started taking everything out without washing her hands. Maybe I’m just a clean freak, but this surprised me a little. I brushed it off until she excitedly tried to get me to try some charcuterie jelly she had. She did this by dipping her finger directly into the jar and holding it out for me to try. At this point I felt pretty icky about it and jokingly said something like “and get a taste of all that stuff we were touching earlier?” (We were out and about, public transit, etc). She seemed a little embarrassed but agreed that was a little gross, but still didn’t wash her hands. This was the first day we knew each other.

To this day, I have not witnessed her wash her hands with anything more than water. And even that takes me asking multiple times. She will go about her whole day, use the washroom, etc. without washing her hands. She loves finding “treasures” when we’re walking around, like...

WIBTA for Giving My Stepson His Birthday Gift Despite His Mom’s Plea?

My husband Joe and I have been married for a few years. He has a teenage son, Jack, with his ex-wife Kim. Joe and I have a great relationship with Jack, who lives with us half of the time, and we are civil with Kim.

For a couple of years now, Jack has been into a sport that I am also into, and last year he decided to train in that sport seriously. He has been doing very well so as a reward and to encourage him further I decided that for his birthday this month, I would buy him an important ‘equipment’ used in our sport. He has always wanted to own one himself and if things go well it will be with him for the next ten years so I know he will be very happy with it.

Yesterday Kim called me and told me what gift she will be getting Jack (we do this now to avoid getting him the same gift, which has happened before). I told her that I got Jack the equipment for our sport. She was quiet for a while and then asked me if I could get another gift for Jack’s birthday and just give him the equipment in October.

Kim said that she knows Jack will absolutely love my gift, so if he gets my gift and her gift at the same time, her gift will be upstaged by mine and all of Jack’s attention will be on my gift. She said she has been saving for Jack’s gift for a while so she would like...

AITA for turning my Step-mom and my Dad laughing stock in front of the whole family?

Recently my dad and my step-mom "Sarah" decided to renew their vows since they both cheated on their partners they feel the wedding experience was ruined for them. They wanted a small together at their house to discuss some plans with the whole family, my wife(25f) and I(30M) informed them that we couldn't make it because my wife had to attend an engagement party with my mom(52F) but they insisted that my wife and my mom come directly to their house after their party.

My wife is Indian so she dressed up in her traditional attire and my made my mom wear it too because she really wanted to wear a saree and they both looked gorgeous so when they arrived at the everyone(my dad's side of the family and Sarah's friends) were fawning over them and if I'm not wrong some of my Sarah's male friends were hitting on my mom.

We were just hanging around the living room area when I saw my twin sons(4M) starting a fight because when one of them has something the other one gets jealous so I ran to put a stop to them because they might break it when I went there I saw Sarah and my dad just sitting on the sofa so I asked them what happened and they told me they feel the attention has been shifted from them (I knew they meant my wife and my mom) while they were telling me this my twins started fighting again so I said "Boys if you don't stop getting jealous of each other like your grandfather...
