AITA: 'He's a deadbeat dad': Mooching husband shames wife and moves out as punishment for taking a weekend to herself after she slaves over 4 children and a full time job without his help

AITA: 'He's a deadbeat dad': Mooching husband shames wife and moves out as punishment for taking a weekend to herself after she slaves over 4 children and a full time job without his help

When a couple decides to have children, it's usually an unstated agreement that the children are BOTH adults' responsibility. However, sometimes folks forget that when you rear a human child, it is a ton of work on your own and is a task best suited for both parents to pitch in. Now, when you have 4 kiddos, that is a responsibility that is obviously quadrupled. One working woman and mother of four kids, recently got into a fight with her deadbeat husband about their shared parenting and Reddit…

'Why can't you just stop being so spoilt?': Two moms battle over first class seat aboard long flight

When flying for an extended period of time, it only makes sense to sit in comfort if you can. That didn't stop this woman's stepsister in law from flipping out that she couldn't fly in style too! This woman asked r/AmItheA**hole if she was in the wrong when a fight cropped up between her and her step sis. Both have children – the OP has a 5 year old, while her SIL has a 7 year old. They decided to travel together for a visit to South Africa, though they booked their flights separately. The OP n…

AITA for not accommodating my niece?

'Your SIL is an entitled parent': Party host gets yelled at by her SIL over food choices

Planning and hosting a kid's birthday party is stressful enough, but this woman's entitled sister-in-law made it so much worse. This OP shared her story with the internet, since she was seeking helpful opinions on whether or not she was the jerk in this situation. As the OP, u/haley××2 wrote, she was planning a birthday party for her kiddo, age 8, and inviting a bunch of people over. The OP invited her sister in law and niece, age 6, to the party as well. Since her niece has several allergies,…

‘What’s the Worst Part of Having a Kid?’ : Funniest Relatable Parenting Confessions for the Crowd That Never Sleeps

‘What’s the Worst Part of Having a Kid?’ : Funniest Relatable Parenting Confessions for the Crowd That Never Sleeps

Were you one of those people who were warned beforehand about the struggles of being responsible for another human being? Or did you glide into the abyss, blissfully ignorant? Either way, they don't just sit there and look cute, as I'm sure you're well aware of now. They are little gluesticks, literally and figuratively. First, because they waddle around you constantly, just always… there . Secondly, they use actual glue and smear it on your couch, in the name of art. They sure are little monst…

"Dramatic" nanny quits after insane parent demands they come into work after being hit by a car

"Dramatic" nanny quits after insane parent demands they come into work after being hit by a car

Caring for other people's kids can be an enticing career for those who like working with children; the only downside is that—well… they're other people's children. This means that you have to deal with the often inaccurate perceptions of other adults, who hold tight to their wildly inaccurate beliefs, with these same adults also holding the final say over what goes with their children, no matter how damaging their decision might be. When working as a nanny, these problems intensify. Long and of…

This couple hired me, a complete stranger, to watch their kid for a date night. Now they’ve practically abandoned me with their kid. What do I even fucking do? I need to get paid and I also can’t leave their child home alone. They are just ignoring my message. Put DND on after I texted them.

Parents ditch babysitter with kids and put them on "do not disturb"

Parenting is exhausting; at its worst, it's like a marathon that you run uphill for 18 years with no water stations and no end in sight. That's why it's a godsend when you can find someone (whether a bribed family member or paid caretaker) who can take your child off you for a few hours. Of course, for some parents, this whole time is spent worrying whether or not the child is alright and being adequately cared for — others still might be able to enjoy their time but be relieved when they retur…

AITA for telling my parents that I make more than both my siblings when they told me to get a real job | I'm a nanny to 2 special needs kids. There's a very high demand for nannies for special needs kids because 3 special needs daycares in my county shut down, so I make approximately $120,000

'Childcare isn't a real job': Special needs childcare worker sets her parents straight, makes $120k a year

There's nothing like changing someone's mind by proving them wholly and completely to be out of touch. Being able to smack them over the head with an indisputable “I told you so.” works more wonders than any amount of arguing ever could have.

AITA for using flash cards to explain to my brother and his wife why they can't bring their rainbow baby to my wedding?

'They were both stunned': Entitled brother thinks his child is the exception to "child-free" wedding, gets hit with the hammer of obvious truth

There will always be people who consider themselves to be the exception — to rules, laws, or just plain old common etiquette. These entitled individuals think they're the main character but don't even stop to consider the fact that they're really just making themselves into one of many faceless, disposable goons in everyone else's day — like those hordes of aliens in the first Avengers who just mercilessly eradicated in the final act having received literally zero screen time. Anyways, this bro…

AITA for beating my coworker's kid at super smash bros. | This is where I totally wipe the floor with the kid. Like no contest at all. He trys several different game modes and rules to try and get a win in and he takes the l every time.

'It was a little awkward': Guy dunks on 8-year-old in Super Smash Bros, wonders if he's wrong

This will be the kid's supervillain origin story. I had to share this one just because of the sheer hilarity of the picture it paints. Just some grown-ass man absolutely and mercilessly annihilating the kid and repeatedly three-stocking him —something along the lines of the Billy Madison dodgeball scene. Were the OP's actions kind of mean? Maybe— but I would argue there's a hidden benefit here: He's providing (free) valuable life lessons to the kid that now the parents won't have to teach. Lear…

"It was then that a woman water walked over to us with a little girl in tow, demanding to know where the boy's mother was and why he was using me like a jungle gym.  Before I could reply the little guy rolled his eyes at the woman and said the following, at max volume. 'Ms. Karen Mommy asked Mr. OP to watch me...'"

'Are you really going to ruin that for her too?': Kid humiliates entitled pool Karen with uncomfortable truth "bombs"

Kids say the darnedest things, don't they? That complete lack of filter can simultaneously be the most hilarious, embarrassing, and cutting thing on this planet. There's nothing worse than being on the receiving end of an incredibly perspective comment from a child. There's something about the truth that a child perceives that leaves you utterly defenseless and without any recourse or response. After all, it's not as if you can respond with an insult back… Then you'd just be the adult that was…
