OtherA few years ago my brother needed help. I let him move into one of my rental properties and we did it all legal. Lease agreement and everything. Because I was renting to him at a breakeven point we agreed that he was responsible for all the maintenance of the house and yard. Well he has four kids. And the hot water tank isn't enough for his family and he wants a new one. I told him to go ahe...
OtherI took my son with me to the grocery store today. He is seven. I am a big believer in learning by doing. I like to give my son as interactive a role in things as possible, and if he wants to do som**hing himself I always at least let him try unless it's unsafe. When we got to the self checkout he confidently told me he could do it by himself, so I let him. There are about ten self checkouts and...
Food & DietHey guys, short time lurker first time poster, I'm not one to really do this but I'm genuinely wondering if I'm in the wrong. So my son had a friend over for dinner the other night. For context, they're both 13, and the friends parents are vegan. I don't know anything about vegan food and don't have many vegetables I normally cook - pretty much all I ever make for vegetable sides is b**tered...
Family ConflictI (25m) am a single dad to my 5 year old son and daughter. Their mom is alive, but left me and I have full custody. Yesterday I had to buy groceries so I had my kids next to me. An older guy was behind me in line and started asking me about them and I should have just said that I was watching them or som**hing but I told him that they're my kids. I don't look old at all, so of course he sta...
Family ConflictMy mom and I have just come off of a 3 year estrangement. Her and my wife hated each other from day one, just really clashed and my mom was going through some stuff in her personal life and acting out. We mutually agreed it wasn't fixable and we should go our separate ways. I recently reconnected with her at a party and told her that I wanted to try and fix things. My wife supported this. M...
OtherMy (F29) family jokingly refers to me as “Princess/The Princess”, because I have a reputation for being opinionated and sensitive. This is mostly because of sensory issues, so certain noises or textures grate on me to an extent that I will leave the room or avoid touching things. I’m also just a picky person and I like things how I like them. So my stepdad started referring to me as the Prince...
BoundariesI rent out the spare bedroom in my house for $800 a month (market rate in my area). I don't know my roommate very well, but we work for the same company. I work early mornings and she works late evenings. So we're often ships pa*sing in the night. On Friday my hot water heater broke. The home warranty guys said they couldn't get anyone out until Monday morning. It's hot as balls right now, ...
ParentingMy (M28) wife (F28) and I have two daughters, 6 & 5 years old, which is prime Disney age. They’re both super into princesses and all that. We’ve talked about taking them to Disney over the next few years as we know they’d love it. My wife has never been before, and I’ve only been once- when I was 10 years old. It was definitely a memorable trip for me as my family had to save up a while for it...
RelationshipMy ex-husband (who I'll call him by his fake name Tony) and I broke up 2 years ago after 26 years of marriage. We have four children together. Due to the s***idity of the time and social pressure, I added my husband's last name to my name. So all my documents like identification, driver's license, pa*sport, all credit cards, voter registration card have his last name at the end. We ended ami...
OtherAlright Reddit. I’ve been getting so much s**t for this that I decided to get a judgement on here. I feel like I’ve seen a post similar to this before but the judgement was split so I guess we’ll see. So I (26M) have a long standing friend group. Most of us having been friends since HS. This girl named Zoe (25F) has been part of the group since college. We’ve hung out plenty of times. But I...
Family ConflictI (M40) have full custody of my daughter(F12). Her mom only has once a month visitations. Recently she has been acting up and insisting on living with her mom because she thinks I'm a bad dad. I knew she couldn't live with her mom because her mom is a terrible mom. I know it because I've seen the way she treats her other kids which is why I tried so hard to get full custody. Also my daught...

My dad is 65 and retired now with a small but decent pension, my mom pa*sed away when I was 10 and my dad never remarried and never had another relationship to my knowledge. He raised me and my sister by himself and worked 3 jobs for over 10 years to support my sister and I through university. My dad is the hardest working person I'v...
