A Father Fired His Own Son. Was He Wrong?

It can be a great idea for family members to work together and other times…maybe not so much.

A father shared his story on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page about having to fire his own son and he wanted to know if he’s wrong for doing so.

Let’s check out the story.

AITA for firing my son from family work?

“Throwaway. First language is not English but living in UK for 10 years.My wife is from UK.

This is really creating problems in the house and my wife is currently at my MILs house. My son did not leave his room for a month except going to his therapist or to take his medications.

My son (21M) has returned to our hometown 5 months ago after 3 years failing at college also failing at various jobs he worked. He was graduated as a valedictorian at high school and was accepted to a really good college so it was a really bitter 3 years for all of us watching him fail.

When he returned to the home, we gave him 2 months to rest and then he started to work at my company as an intern. I thought it would help him develop life and work skills because he did not work until college due to really hectic school schedule.

In his first month,he was doing OK but at the second month,he started detoriating and he was really closed and only answered when he was asked something specific,also he started to come late and he was really looking dirty,also started to smell. His colleagues were really disturbed and one of them asked me to bring him to a therapist or call a therapist to his workplace.

I agreed and arranged a meeting with a therapist at our workplace with my son. At the end,he was diagnosed with cyclotymic depression with major episodes and therapist said he needs constant therapy and medication.

After all this news and with the complaints of my colleagues,I fired my son from the work.Well,this was big news for my wife and she accused me of infantilizing my son and never trusting. Well,I don’t. He is really incapable of taking care of himself,someone has to make him remember even to eat or take a bath or he just sleeps,wakes up and looks to the ceiling.

When I said this,she got really angry and said she was going to her mom’s house and taking our son,my son looked her and yelled “Leave!” She was scared and left the house and after that he started to cry and became a little kid.That night was hard and he was like a 10 year old in 21 hear old’s body.

I am currently at home most of the times and working from home,also the surges in the COVID cases in my area made it more possible.Also we are a healthcare software company for hospitals so WFH is really possible and I only go to in person work maybe once a week.

My wife is currently looking for divorce attorneys and even my mom and dad are accusing me for finishing my marriage. They all think my son has something he can come over and I am overreacting.

The only support I have is FIL(him and MIL are divorced since my wife was a little baby) and he is currently living with us helping me taking care of him. We are taking really slow baby steps and his psychiatrist said if it wasn’t COVID,he would be hospitalized to a mental health care clinic. He currently started to eat a full meal and we are really glad.

AITA for firing my son from family work?”

Here’s how people responded to the man’s story.

This reader said that the man’s son probably needed to be fired because it’s obvious he can’t handle any big responsibilities right now.

Another reader said that the man’s wife clearly isn’t grasping how serious the situation is or what their son needs right now.

This Reddit user pointed out that the son might need full-time care…and that his father isn’t the one who should be handling this.

Finally, a person argued that it just doesn’t make any sense for the man’s son to be working at all during this time. And maybe the whole family could use some therapy…

Is This Guy Awful for Telling Their Family a Secret About His Brother’s Wealth? Here’s What People Said.

The battle of the s*xes is always raging…and when there is money involved…well, let’s just say that some men get their egos hurt if they aren’t the big breadwinner.

And this story from the “Am I the *sshole?” page on Reddit puts that whole phenomenon front and center…and it got kind of ugly.

Let’s take a look at what happened.

AITA for telling my family that my brother earns less than his wife?

“My brother (M 32), who we’ll call Luke is a good guy, but he’s very lazy.

He’s always wanted money but never wanted to work for it. His wife; (F 30) who we’ll call Jane, is awesome. Me and my wife are so happy he’s with her because she’s just very kind and funny, and has become a good friend to us as well as family member, particularly with my wife.

She has a high paying job. She live in a nice house, buy nice things, have a nice car etc. My brother has a pretty normal job, he’s not very ambitious and now that he’s with her, he’s content with that (which is totally fine by the way).

Jane has told my wife a couple times that she doesn’t mind paying for everything, but that he doesn’t like to talk about it in public, and get defensive if she mentions anything that she bought when friends or family are present, I have noticed this too.

Well, my parents got vaccinated so we all went there for dinner. It was a great time. At one point, my dad is taking about finances and saving, etc. And my brother mentions the house “he bought” and the car “he bought”, me and my wife are rolling our eyes, Jane looks a little disgruntled.

And then, at one point he says “yes we have a simple relationship with money, I make it, she spends it!” Like a joke, but joking about the wrong thing if that makes sense, because he’s alluding to the fact that this is true.

So I say “Luke, that’s a bit unfair. Jane is the bread winner in your household, and she bought the house and car didn’t she?” He laughs and says “no!” So I don’t bother after that.

He called me later and blasted me saying it was none of my businesses and so what if she bought those things. I said he should be a little more appreciative and respectful.

We haven’t spoken since, and my mum and dad are annoyed that I said it because it made dinner awkward.”

Very interesting…

Let’s see how folks on Reddit responded…

This person said that the guy totally brought this on himself.

Another Reddit user called the brother a misogynist and that he’s acting out because he’s embarrassed about his situation.

This individual said that the man is discrediting all of his wife’s hard work. Not cool!

Photo Credit: Reddit

This reader said that he crossed two lines in his actions. Two very big lines.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Lastly, this person said that if she were in this wife’s position, she would not be happy at all. This guy sounds like a real jerk…

What do you think?

Was this person way out of line for telling their family about this?

A Man Asked if He’s Wrong for Giving Son’s College Fund to Best Friend Instead of Nephew? People Weighed In.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard a story like this one…

But that’s the beauty of Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page!

You get to read all kinds of stories about problems and dilemmas that folks are having.

And we think you’ll find this one quite interesting…let’s take a look…

AITA for giving my deceased son’s college fund to his best friend instead of my nephew?

“This has been causing a conflict with my entire family. And they think that I’m being selfish and unreasonable. Let me explain first.

I M39 lost my son in 2019 due to a chronic heart condition. He was 15 years old. It was devastating and I just couldn’t take it especially when my family did little to nothing to support me during these difficult times. They didn’t bring my son meals when he was at the hospital.

They didn’t let me go home and rest even for a few hours. They didn’t take care of other things while I had a lot to deal with I wasn’t offered any help just words. They’d just talk but do nothing.

Despite the struggle. I’ve created an account for my son’s college fund and kept putting whatever I could get at the time and me and my son would talk about that a lot. He was depressed but always believed that he was going to get better and continue his education and attend college.

I started saving money To keep him motivated and to make him feel like he could be like any other kid with hopes for a good future. He had a very close friend that’s about the same age as him.

They were friends for 5 years, and I can’t express how his presence in my son’s life helped him through the worst days, sometimes his friend would spend the night with us and try to get my son to do activities and lighten up his mood all the time. To be frank his friend was closer to him than his own family.

He never stopped visiting and asking how I’m doing after my son’s death. He’d show me handmade projects he made for my son and as a way to remember him and we’d sometimes just sit and talk together or cry together.

Last week, while I was with my family my sister asked me what I was going to do with my son’s college money. I didn’t wanna mention this but since she asked I told her that I will be giving the money to my son’s friend. She barely even recognized his friend and was confused and said that my nephew deserves this money since he’s family.

My mom agreed that I wasn’t thinking straight and that I should help the people close to me-family and that my nephew has a right to go to college and I was wrong for giving this “opportunity” away to someone else.

I didn’t know what to say they kept pointing out that I was making a mistake and how my nephew will resent me if he finds out. Thing is my nephew wasn’t close to my son I don’t even know why he’d be bothered. My sister went on about not being able to afford my nephew’s college I told her this was my decision and I felt more comfortable that way.

She started lashing out, constantly texting me constantly wanting to talk to me and ending up arguing. When I snapped she had my mom calling me basically guilt tripping me and telling me I’m wrong and that I needed to think about this.

It’s just too much pressure and I’m feeling lost and unable to figure out how to deal with this.”

Here’s what folks on Reddit had to say about this.

This person made a good point: it’s up to people to do whatever they want with their OWN money.

This Reddit user agreed that the man can do whatever he wants with HIS OWN MONEY.

Woman Asks if She’s Wrong for Not Wanting Her Wheelchair-Bound Father to Walk Her Down the Aisle

Just the title of this article by itself makes me sad.

But that’s why the “Am I the *sshole?” forum on Reddit gives us interesting human stories to contemplate.

A woman asked if she was an *sshole for not wanting her father, who is in a wheelchair, to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.

Let’s see what she had to say.

AITA for not wanting my dad to “walk” me down the aisle because he’s in a wheelchair?

“About three years ago my dad was injured in a really bad hit and run car accident.

He broke just about every bone in his body, and left him paralysed from the waist down. Our relationship has always been really good, but I hate seeing him in pain and admittedly try to avoid seeing him because it just makes me uncomfortable.

In November I’m getting married. I’ve been with my fiancé for 4 years and he and my dad get on really well. Naturally the discussion of who was going to give me away came up in the family group chat, and I kept silent after I realised my dad would be in a wheelchair.

We always talked about him giving me away and having a dance at my wedding and I don’t want to be reminded of what could’ve been at my wedding. I messaged my mom privately and told her I want my uncle to walk me down the aisle as we’re incredibly close.

She naturally asked why and I told her that my dad being in a wheelchair would add complications to the wedding. The walkway would have to be widened to accommodate his wheelchair and he wouldn’t be able to hold my arm or give me a proper hug.

She was outraged, called me an ableist POS and removed me from the group chat. My aunt has since called me telling me my dad is absolutely devastated. AITA?”

And here’s how folks on Reddit responded.

This person, who can relate to the woman’s story, said that she is definitely wrong in this case and the had a hard time believing that anyone could act this way.

Another reader called the woman out in a huge way.

This person made it clear: a wheelchair doesn’t make anyone less of a person.

Another person, who is disabled, also thinks that the woman is a major *sshole in this situation.

And finally, another woman talked about the role her disabled father played at her wedding. And yes, they also think this woman is an *sshole. I concur!

Wow…what do you think about what this woman did?

A Young Man Wonders Whether Telling His Rich Parents That ‘Lower Class’ Friends Are Better Than Them? Here’s What People Said.

We got some family drama here, folks!

And this time the story on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page comes to us from a teenage boy who had some choice words for his wealthy parents.

Let’s take a look…

AITA for telling my rich parents that my ‘lower class’ friends and their families are better people than they could ever dream of being?

“I’ll start by saying that I’m a 17M. Both my parents are very successful lawyers, and we live in a super nice house.

They have given me everything I could ask for, but they’re not exactly there for me emotionally. I can’t remember the last time we ate dinner together or had a decent conversation. Most of the time they’re not even home and it’s just me. I feel like a ghost in my own house.

We moved to a new town not too long ago, and my parents enrolled me in the more exclusive private school in the area. I’ve gone to private schools my entire life. But my experience at this school was horrible.

I’m short, effeminate looking, and obviously gay. The only reason I didn’t get my *ss seriously kicked was because my parents are rich.

I begged my parents to switch schools, but they were hesitant because the only other option was public schooling. I finally escaped the private school of circle jerking, and enrolled in this new school.

I guess I should mention that a few years ago, this school district expanded their enrollment zone to slightly cover a lower income area, which resulted in a handful of students from low income families being enrolled.

My first few days at this new school were brutal, with a lot of the same problems following me. Until I ran into Garfield (it’s a family name. I swear he’s not named after a cat).

He spoke up and said he would love to be my lab partner when no one else would. We quickly became friends and he introduced me to his childhood friend also attending the school named Eduardo.

Since my parents are so distant to begin with, they never noticed me spending so much time with my new friends. Garfield’s mother is a waitress and his dad a construction worker. Eduardo’s mother cleans houses and his dad works odd jobs, such as driving for Uber.

Both of their families are amazing and involved. I started dating Garfield and had real friends for the first time ever. Both Garfield and Eduardo have come over to my house about twice and met my parents.

The other day, my mother pulled me over and casually mentioned that I was spending a lot of time with that blonde boy (Garfield) and the Hispanic kid. She asked what their families did and where they lived, and I told her. She immediately became upset and said I was aiming way below my abilities and these were not the kind of influences I needed in my life.

I asked why, and she said we just live different types of lives and I’ll understand when I’m older. I freaked out and said both of them and their families have been there more for me in the six months I’ve known them than my parents ever have and that they’re cold, unfeeling snobs. My mom started crying and said public school has changed me for the worst.

I’ve never seen her cry before, and I’m starting to feel horrible. AITA for saying they’re rich hypocrites and that my friend’s families are better?”

And here’s what folks said in response to his story.

This person doesn’t think the teenager was wrong at all for what he said to his parents.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user thinks that the boy’s mom might actually be upset because she’s coming to terms with her life choices.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person said that wealth really isn’t a good indicator of what really matters in life: character and doing the right thing.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user said that the boy wasn’t wrong for what he said but that they also sympathize with the mom in this story.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this person said that the boy was not the *sshole here but that his mom, despite her faults, most likely spent her life thinking she was making the right decisions when it came to trying to make money.

Do you think this kid was wrong for what he said?

Or was he justified in speaking to his parents this way?

Was It Wrong to Press Charges Against My Son? People Weighed In.

People love to press charges against others…

But when you do it against your own child? That’s a little strange…

But that’s what went down when a parent decided to slap some charges on their adult son, and they took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to see if they were wrong for doing so.

AITA for pressing charges against my son?

“My son (28) was visiting us for a couple days and was at my house alone babysitting my daughters kid.

According to my son, the other day my 4-year-old granddaughter (his niece) pulled down the TV and broke it. My son told us that he took the TV to the dump as it was shattered and useless. My daughter and son-in-law (my 4yo granddaughters parents) felt very bad for what had happened and paid the cost of the TV that day.

My husband was watching our security cameras and our son’s story doesn’t hold up. We never see our granddaughter breaking the TV. All that we see is our son taking away the TV that is not shattered. We asked our son about this and he said that the security camera must have cut out the part that shows our granddaughter breaking the TV.

Eventually I got a call from my son’s girlfriend that lives with him. She said that she knew what was going on and felt guilty. She basically told us that our son had made up the story about the TV breaking and stole it and took it to their house to watch.

I filed a police report and his girlfriend let the police into their house to get us our TV back. We do plan on pressing charges against him. He stole our TV and made my daughter pay for it. That is messed up on so many levels. AITA for pressing charges?”

Here’s how people responded on Reddit.

This person said that the parent was absolutely correct to press charges and it’ll teach the son a life lesson.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person said that the parent was right in this situation and that the son needs a major wake-up call.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person said that pressing charges was completely warranted in this story and that the situation could have escalated even further if they didn’t do that.

Photo Credit: Reddit

But this person had a different take and said that this whole mess should have been handled in the family…

A Woman for Advice After She Found Out Someone Tried on Her Wedding Dress in Secret

Do you want a life tip that could potentially save you some major drama?

Never, EVER, touch a woman’s wedding dress. EVER.

I didn’t think there would be a whole lot of gray area about this, but a woman took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to ask if she was wrong for getting all fired up because she found out that not one, but TWO other people tried on her wedding dress…

Let’s see what went down.

AITA For demanding my fiancé and his mom to pay for a new wedding dress?

“Me 26F and my fiancé 28M been engaged for 4 months, we’re planning on having our wedding on October 18th.

My future mother in law kept annoying me and sending me suggestions for choosing the right wedding dress, and said that she knew better and tried to get me to approve of wedding dresses that she chose and when she couldn’t enforce her decision she demanded that I take her with me to buy my wedding dress so she could have an opinion.

Before I went shopping I called her to ask if she wanted to come but started making excuses about how busy she was with my sister in law, I went shopping with my mom and I was able to find a really nice dress although it cost me a little over what I saved up for, but it was worth it.

I made some changes to it and it was perfect, it arrived to my apartment at the end of the week, I made sure it was stored in a safe place so it doesn’t get ruined.

Yesterday, I got back from my mom’s house, and found that my fiancé wasn’t home neither was the dress, I called him immediately knowing that he must’ve taken it to show it to his mom since she continuously asked to see it and refused to have me send her pictures of it on Facebook.

I was so mad when it was confirmed that my fiancé took it to show it to his mom, he said he was gonna be home in 30 minutes after he went to the supermarket I waited for longer than I had to and then when he arrived I ran to get my dress that was buried underneath grocery bags.

I took it to check on it and it’s zipper was broken and the dress itself (fabric) was stretched out, I was like what the f*ck happened to it, my mother in law must’ve tried it on, because it looked ruined, the straps were almost loose.

I had to call my mother in law when my fiancé told me his mom and sister took turns to try it on, I was absolutely livid, she told me she did nothing wrong and that I was making a big deal out of it.

She said she’d get a replacement for the broken zipper, but I told her to pay for a new dress since it was stretched out and no longer fitting, she refused and said that I probably wasn’t happy with my dress choice and wanted to her to pay so I could get a new one.

I yelled at her for trying it on and ruining it, that she and my fiancé were responsible for ruining my dress so they should pay for a new one, It’s done, no longer fitting, the straps are in a horrible condition, my mom said she’d pay for fixing it but I just hate it now that someone else wore it before me.

I’m mad at both of them and seriously considering postponing the wedding.”

Uh oh…that was a terrible idea.

Let’s see what people had to say.

This person stated the obvious: her fiancé and his family were way, way out of line on this one.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The Reddit user was pretty mystified by the whole situation. I mean, who does something like this?

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person said that this is, in fact, a big deal, contrary to what her finacé says about the situation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

An individual made no bones about the way they feel: she needs to dump this guy ASAP.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Finally, this person also suggested that the woman shouldn’t marry this fella and that his family is and always will be a major headache.

Was This Guy a Jerk to Un-Invite His Parents to His Wedding? People Shared Their Thoughts.

Family drama is here in a major way!

We all have drama in our families on some level, but some folks really take it to another level, you know what I mean?

A guy took to Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page to ask if he was way out of line for uninviting his parents to his parents after his mom was…less than polite.

AITA for uninviting my parents to my wedding after my mom said “I don’t care about your f*cking wedding”?

“I’m engaged to the love of my life. We’ll call her Sarah. Sarah doesn’t have issues with my parents but there is a little tension on both sides and no one has attempted to be close, which is fine I guess. It makes me a little sad that they are not more excited about her.

Sarah asked my mom the other day if she would help make centerpieces. Sarah is into DIY but we are running out of time and she was asking around to see who would be willing to help.

She admitted to my mom that it was kind of grunt work and if she didn’t want to, no pressure. My mom got offended and said of course she doesn’t want to, we haven’t cared about her at all, so she doesn’t care about our f*cking wedding. This hurt Sarah but she didn’t fight back.

Sarah told me and I called my mom. Honestly I probably went into it a big aggressively, but I yelled at her for saying that to Sarah. My mom said that Sarah hasn’t included her in any of the fun parts, or cared about her opinion on anything, so why would she help make centerpieces. I asked her to apologize to Sarah and my mom said no, she was done talking about it, so I uninvited her to the wedding.

My dad sent me a text, because I said he could still come, and pretty much told me to f*ck off if I thought he would come without my mom. My mom is now upset because everyone is going to ask where she is. Sarah is very happy and feels like I defended her, and literally everyone else thinks I’m the *sshole.”

Let’s take a look at what Reddit users said in response to this story…

This person said they agreed with the man getting mad, but they would have handled it in a different way.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person thinks that the man’s mom (the mother-in-law to the bride) seems a little controlling and maybe shouldn’t be involved in some of these decisions…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another reader said that this whole blow-up could be a sign of BAD things to come.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another Reddit user said that the man is to blame here and that his bride-to-be isn’t in the clear, either.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And this person agreed that the man is also the *sshole here and that they’re taking advantage of the people in their lives during the wedding planning.

Uh oh…

A Woman Told Her Stepsister She Can’t Model Her Clothing Because She’s Obese. Was She a Jerk?

Whenever weight issues are brought up amongst friends, family members, or complete strangers, you know that it’s gonna be ugly and hurtful.

And this actually sounds like a pretty sad situation to me.

A young woman who is in design school was asked by her overweight stepsister if she could model her clothes…and then it went south in a hurry.

She shared her story on Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page. Read on to find out what happened.

AITA for telling my stepsister that she can’t model my clothing because because she’s obese?

“I’m currently in a design class in college and for one of our projects, we had to create a clothing line made out of sustainable materials.

Since I love sewing and thrift-flipping, I was super excited about this. I made all the clothes based off of my own size so there isn’t a lot of size variation.

Last week, I asked two of my friends who are close to my size if they could model and I think my stepsister may have overheard because later that day, she asked me if she could model too.

I wasn’t expecting this question so I stumbled and initially told her that I’d already enough models. She didn’t take this as an answer and asked if I could just let her wear one piece since she loved how they all looked. Recently, she’s been really into modeling and photography so I get why she was so adamant.

I insisted I had enough models and that I couldn’t let her, which really upset her. She ended up going to her dad crying about it and he brought the three of us together for “conflict resolvement time.” He was on her side and asked if I could just let her do one piece.

I was getting p*ssed at this point, but I continued to say no because I know her weight is a sensitive issue for her and her dad. He called me selfish and my stepsister nodded in agreement. This was my breaking point.

I said, “I’ve been saying no this whole time because I did not want to hurt her feelings. You guys wanna know the real reason? I don’t think she’ll be able to fit into any of the clothes I created. She’s obese and I designed the clothes to fit my body type. I’m sorry.”

Well, cue the waterworks. Her father just shook his head at me in disappointment and said I didn’t need to “stoop that low.” All of us are now p*ssed off.

AITA?”

And here’s how Reddit users responded.

This person said there’s no way she acted inappropriately. The clothes were for a specific body type and her stepsister clearly wasn’t in that group.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person thought it was okay for the woman to tell her stepsister NO, but thought calling her obese was not the best idea.

Photo Credit: Reddit

A self-described “fat girl” said that the stepsister was ridiculous to even ask to model the clothes in the first place.

Photo Credit: Reddit

This person believes that the stepsister is “pulling the fat shaming card” and is being manipulative about he situation.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Lastly, this person thinks that the woman was way out of line and could have handled the situation in a much better way. In other words, she could have been polite about it.

Last week, I asked two of my friends who are close to my size if they could model and I think my stepsister may have overheard because later that day, she asked me if she could model too.

I wasn’t expecting this question so I stumbled and initially told her that I’d already enough models. She didn’t take this as an answer and asked if I could just let her wear one piece since she loved how they all looked. Recently, she’s been really into modeling and photography so I get why she was so adamant.

I insisted I had enough models and that I couldn’t let her, which really upset her. She ended up going to her dad crying about it and he brought the three of us together for “conflict resolvement time.” He was on her side and asked if I could just let her do one piece.

I was getting p*ssed at this point, but I continued to say no because I know her weight is a sensitive issue for her and her dad. He called me selfish and my stepsister nodded in agreement. This was my breaking point.

I said, “I’ve been saying no this whole time because I did not want to hurt her feelings. You guys wanna know the real reason? I don’t think she’ll be able to fit into any of the clothes I created. She’s obese and I designed the clothes to fit my body type. I’m sorry.”

Well, cue the waterworks. Her father just shook his head at me in disappointment and said I didn’t need to “stoop that low.” All of us are now p*ssed off.

AITA?”

And here’s how Reddit users responded.

This person said there’s no way she acted inappropriately. The clothes were for a specific body type and her stepsister clearly wasn’t in that group.

Lastly, this person thinks that the woman was way out of line and could have handled the situation in a much better way. In other words, she could have been polite about it.
