Karen wants to give birth to her baby at my house. My brother has made a really weird request of me. He asked me if him and his girlfriend could use my house to give birth at. I didn't even know what he was getting at first, but he explained to me that their apartment doesn't have a bathtub. It's too small for an inflatable pool and it would attract too much attention if the birth was there and the neighbors will likely call the authorities. I have a house instead of an apartment and I have a bathtub and more room than them. My brother thinks I should be honored about this. I thought this was so weird. I thought they would go to the hospital, like normal, but they haven't used a doctor at all. So I have no idea how it works and if the hospital would ask who their doctor is. My brother said I don't have to be there if I feel uncomfortable. I don't have a problem with him or his girlfriend, but I feel strange at the thought of leaving the two of them alone in my house. I'm a guy and I don't have kids, so I admit to no experience in this area, but I'm also worried something could go wrong because neither my brother nor his girlfriend are doctors or have any medical training. My brother and his girlfriend have been saying how upset they'll be if I say no, that the mother being comfortable is what's most important and I shouldn't deny her and that I'll look like a jerk if I turn down their request because they don't have a backup house. I just don't get why they can't go to the hospital, even though I have not said it. My mom also hinted one time to me it would be a nice thing to do. Would I be the jerk if I didn't let them use my house for the birth? Because it makes me feel weird and uncomfortable and I would prefer they use a hospital? Not the jerk. I would not feel comfortable with a first time birth with no medical backup planned in my home. I mean, it's a strange request anyway. Plus, it requires a lot of flexibility. You could be on call for four weeks with everything that entails and then potentially not get your home back quickly afterwards, even if all goes perfectly. Direct them to find a doula or medical advice and go from there. There's no need to lend them your home. You would not be the jerk. This is a weird ask. It also comes with other questions and planning. How far do they live from you? Would they expect to live in your house for the last month of her pregnancy? Babies are notorious for showing up on their schedule and no one else's. It's kind of their thing. This would mean that you'd have to have an area prepped for a couple of weeks just in case. It's not a simple matter of them popping up at 6.30 for a 7pm reservation next Tuesday. Do they have a midwife? Where will she or he stay? Is someone else going to provide the supplies like towels and such? You're the jerk. The fact that your brother and his wife are even willing to welcome their baby into the world in your home is a huge honor. You refusing this opportunity speaks volumes about you and your lack of respect for them. Don't be surprised if/when they cut contact. Edit. Downvote me all you want. I could really care less. Well, what would you do in this situation? Would you let them have the baby in your house or not? Please let us know. Tell them to head over to our house. We've got to spare bathroom. They can pay in installments if they have to. Entitled sister-in-law stole our baby's name. Now she regrets it. My wife and I spent 4 years trying to get pregnant before the wrong side of 35. We are currently 33, respectively now, and are blessed with a wonderful infant son. My wife has a younger half-sister that she has been low contact with for some time. The woman is entitled and toxic, and her mother's golden child. We've refused to let her or my mother-in-law in the house since they both blatantly tried to make off with my wife's jewelry box a couple of years ago. The box contained a lot of valuable jewelry inherited from my wife's grandmother. Said jewelry is now in a safety deposit box, as per my suggestion. My wife and I had nearly given up trying to conceive when it suddenly happened, and we were ecstatic. After we found out we were having a baby, we started looking into names. I ended up suggesting the name of my Scottish grandfather, and my wife loved it, so that's the name we settled on. But we made the mistake of posting about it on social media. Well, no surprise to the stereotype in this mess. My sister-in-law was pregnant too, and was months further along than my wife, and also having a boy. She decided to claim my grandfather's name for her own son, and not just the first name, but the middle name too. We called her upset over what she was doing, and she smugly told us there's nothing we can do about it, which she was sort of right. There was nothing we could do about it legally, as it's not a crime to steal plan baby's names. We realized that drama was exactly what my sister-in-law wanted, and she thought that by taking the name for herself, we'd not be able to use it. I laughed and told her that while what she did was dirty and underhanded, we would keep our chosen name, and she could just deal with it whether she decides to go through with copying us or not. Well, my sister-in-law's baby daddy called me and said I was an unreasonable jerk for still wanting to use the name after sister-in-law claimed it. I said she claimed nothing, and since we couldn't own the name, then neither could they. Before he ended the call, he threatened me by saying I'd be sorry if we didn't change the name, then he hung up before I could respond. Months later, sister-in-law has a healthy baby boy and names him my grandfather's name. We did not show up for the birth, both because of the lockdown and because we simply didn't care to be there. Sister-in-law called us wanting congratulations, but we told her we simply didn't care, and that if she was still insisting we change our baby's name, then she'd be in for some big disappointment, because we were not. Sister-in-law demanded I put my wife on the phone, but it was already on speaker, and my wife spoke up and said she agrees with me entirely. We weren't changing the name. Sister-in-law hung up on us, but soon started sending emails with text walls of names, even suggesting similar ones. I responded back that the name was from my grandfather, and that's why we were not changing it. They shut up, and we didn't hear from her again until after our son was born. Two months later, we were blessed with our son. He came out perfect, and we named him just as we had intended. Well, no surprise, my sister-in-law called us a few days after the birth to scream in our ears that we had copied her son's name. I pointed out that she was the real copycat, since she had no familial ties to the name and we did, and anyone who looks at our family trees could see that. Then my wife spoke and said after the attempted theft of her grandmother's jewelry, she no longer considered Sister-in-law her sister, and would have nothing to do with her nephew either. For months, we were bombarded with messages and emails from my wife's side of the family. Half were on our side after finding out the whole story, the other half were not, and Sister-in-law's baby daddy, true to his word, showed up at my door to "make me sorry." I'm not sure what his plan was, but I pretty much towered over him. I'm 6'1" and well-built from regular exercise and three trips to the gym a week. He, on the other hand, was very skinny and about 5'6" with a baby face that was badly hidden by a slim beard. I told him my house has cameras, and to get off my property and never come back. He just yelled at me and drove off in his beat-up old car. "We all have somewhere we're trying to get to."

Gambling problem? Call 1-800 gambler. Sister-in-law and mother-in-law called us from a different number to yell at me for making Sister-in-law's baby daddy feel emasculated. I didn't even threaten the man. I just told him to leave and not to come back. And if he didn't want to feel emasculated, then he shouldn't have come knocking. Then they tried to bring up the issue of the baby name again and demanded we change our son's name as "he's so young, so there's still plenty of time to do it." We held our ground and told them that they were bonkers to still think they were in the right after they copied our choice of name just to try and get one over on us. I said Sister-in-law didn't even name her son out of love but out of spite just to try and stick it to my wife for no good reason. Then my wife called them both out on the way she was treated growing up. How entitled Sister-in-law and mother-in-law have always been and how she was glad to leave them far behind and she wants nothing from them and they won't have anything from us. That left Sister-in-law sobbing and mother-in-law called me a royal jerk before hanging up the phone. There was no contact again for a little while till Sister-in-law called us again some time later to bitterly tell us we had won. She and her baby daddy got in a huge fight and he left. He was apparently very sore that Sister-in-law didn't let him even give their son a middle name from his family. And he said he was sick of the BS and wanted his son named after him and not some guy he wasn't even related to. Sister-in-law finally caved and they got the boy's birth certificate reissued with a completely new name which cost Sister-in-law around $500 or so she claims. Sister-in-law then demanded we at least compensate her for the name change plus another $100 for the emotional damage as now she's going to have to get used to calling her son by a different name. We laughed and said this would have never happened if she hadn't stole our baby name to begin with and we didn't owe her anything. Since then we've been no contact with Sister-in-law and mother-in-law. But my father-in-law, who's a very nice man and divorced for mother-in-law for obvious reasons, would come by often and loves his grandson. From what he and other relatives told us, the situation between Sister-in-law and her baby daddy was pretty tumultuous but we don't care. Not our monkeys, not our circus. Am I the jerk for evicting him and his 13 year old daughter? My boyfriend, who's 34, of three years just moved in to my 32 female, three bedroom home five months ago. This home has been in my family for the past 70 years. I have a five year old son and my boyfriend has a 13 year old daughter. I made sure I moved all of my stuff out of my office and put it in the loft so she could have her own bedroom. I think it was about a month into him living here that his daughter wanted to move in with us full time as she doesn't have her own bedroom at her mom's. I was completely fine with this. Anyways, I started running into a lot of problems not even a week after she moved in full time. She became really entitled into manding, like demanding that my son trade rooms with her because it has a bigger closet and bitch to fit when I said no. Or demanding we buy her expensive clothes or makeup because I'm a real estate agent and I have loads of money. Call me crazy, but I'm not about to drop $120 on a pair of ripped up jeans or drop $200 on three pieces of makeup. Her dad works but his income is significantly less than mine so she really just expected me to be the one who spoils her rotten. Or pushing her plate of food away and saying "I'm not eating that, but you can cook me something else." I can deal with her childish tantrums and slamming doors, but she has now started to put holes in my walls and my boyfriend makes excuses saying he used to do the same thing and she will grow out of it. She torments my son. If he says anything to her, she literally always responds with "Oh, you're talking to me? Swap rooms with me and I will think about responding." Her dad literally never attempts to correct her behavior and I'm told I'm being too harsh if I do. The tip of the mountain for me here was two weeks ago. There was a foul smell coming from her room so I asked her to clean it because you couldn't see the floor. She said "Um, no, it's my room so I don't see why you have any say on how I treat my personal space." Her father actually agreed with her. Three days later, the smell had become so bad that I lost it. I told her to clean it or she was moving out. This was after I saw at least six used personal hygiene products thrown throughout her room as well as half eaten food and moldy drink cups. She starts crying and saying I'm treating her like she is Cinderella and I'm acting like an evil step mom. I told my boyfriend either he handles it or they're both gone. He clearly didn't believe me because he told me that I needed to lighten up because his daughter is having a rough time transitioning and being away from her mom. I gave it a week. Nothing changed. I went and got an eviction notice drawn up and gave them 30 days to vacate my property and told him he's lucky I'm not suing for damages. He says I'm the jerk for throwing away three years because I can't handle not having my own way. Am I the jerk? Not the jerk. Oh heck no. He's a bad father for letting his daughter behave that way and then getting angry at you for putting your foot down on her greedy and disgusting behavior. Yeah. Bye. Like father. Like daughter. You're definitely not the jerk here. I don't know why you would think otherwise. So what if she has to share her room with a sibling when she moves back in with her mom. It's not like she's homeless. I mean I feel like maybe she had benefit from therapy and learning some empathy but this is so beyond the pale for a parent to deal with especially when she's allowed to get away with it. In addition this type of behavior is something your son should not be witnessing let alone be around someone so out of control they're putting holes in your home and making at least one room a nearby old hazard. I'd also be worried about how you're now ex boyfriend would treat your son. Not the jerk. He's not parenting her. A parent steps in and protects both kids and he's allowing his daughter to mistreat what would have been a sibling. That's not remotely acceptable let alone the amount of disregard this child has for any authority figure. She has anger problems and thinks it's perfectly acceptable behavior to damage property when she's upset. She's not a toddler but she sure is acting like it. You have your son's emotional health to worry about. They are not homeless. They have their mom's house or other family to turn to. Well what would you do in this situation? Would you evict him and his daughter or not? Please let us know. I'd call the authorities is what I'd do that little animal needs to be in a cage. Am I the jerk for telling my dad that if he chooses to attend my stepbrother's graduation then he better forget about me? I'm an only child and my 18 female parents divorced when I was eight. My dad remarried when I was 12 and for a while everything was fine but after a few years of living there with them I started to notice that my dad preferred my stepbrother who's 13 now. They did more things together and started to ditch me to go to his games, his plays, his tournaments. For every 10 things I invited him to he only attended one maybe two. His wife always gave excuses. Her son is younger than me. They are really close. His dad is not involved and told me that at least I was lucky to have a dad with me and specifically one who was willing to share his love. Well my mom told him sad crap and gathered all the things to aim for soul custody when I was 13 and won it. Only then I saw my dad being hurt for me being taken away. I started to spend some time with my dad but only if he picked me up to do it. He still missed most of my things and I've always resented him and his other family for it. Since this is my last year I had a lot of significant activities. I had my last debate, my last volleyball game. I won best essay in my class, got into best 20 alumni and finally went to pick my prom dress. We all have somewhere we're trying to get to.

Some, if not all of these things, he missed because he was working or attending something regarding his family and I can't have it anymore. My graduation is December 15th. The same as my stepbrother's elementary school and when I told dad, he said that he would see if he could make it, which meant he wouldn't, so I came clear. I said that while graduating elementary school is nice and yay for him, I'm graduating high school and I'm on my way to university so he can't really compare those things. And if he chooses my stepbrother's graduation, he better forget about me. His wife flipped and told me that I was taking my stepbrother's dad away from a big day and I was being a spoiled brat. I told her that I couldn't be a spoiled brat if I was being ignored the whole time and that I wasn't talking to her. My dad looked shocked, so I said that he could be there for once or he can miss forever and left. But now that I'm cooled off, I'm starting to feel bad. I love my dad to pieces. I just want him there for me too and I surely don't want to hurt my stepbrother. I was wondering if I was the jerk for acting how I did because he's paying half of my college fund and I gave him an ultimatum. Plus, my dad is not prone to confrontation while my mother and I are. Not the jerk. Your ultimatum might have been a little bit intense, but I don't blame you for it. Use of observing and experiencing neglect wears on a person. You're 100% right. An elementary graduation doesn't compare to a high school one. Don't let anyone gaslight you into believing that your milestone doesn't trump an elementary school graduation. Your stepmom sounds like a nightmare and she's probably been more behind your father's time management than you realize. Her disillusioned that your dad has more parental responsibility to her son than he does to you is bananas. If you feel like you need to clear the air with your dad, I would suggest speaking to him in a place free of your stepmom and being ready to lay all of this on the table for him to see. He must have had the impression that his absence hasn't been bothering you, but I think it's time he woke up. Not the jerk. Not to hijack your story, but I went through something similar. My dad was in the military and started his second family after he and my mother divorced. He spent his leave time with them. When my older brother graduated, he didn't show up. When my graduation was coming, he told me he could not come because he had to take classes for work. I fell apart. I told him I didn't have to understand because I had done nothing but understand for 11 years. I told him I deserved to have him there and it wasn't my fault that he had missed so much. He was stunned. He also came to my graduation. Our relationship improved tenfold. We are very close now. I share this because it is somewhat similar to your experience. I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't come, but I know I would not have regretted calling him out. It isn't your fault that your stepbrother's father passed. It isn't your fault that your graduation and his event happen on the same day. You do not deserve to miss out on having your father there. Not the jerk. My dad did a bit of the same. Never showed up for anything concerning us. Never had money for us. Never took the time to make time for us, but he would do it all when he had stepkids. When he had stepkids, he became neglectful to his biological kids and would go back to being more attentive when single, which was rare. Fast forward nearly 15 years after my mom got full custody of me and we are extremely low contact. We wish each other happy birthday by text. That's it. It doesn't know my medical history and doesn't care. Doesn't know where I live now after I lost my previous apartment to a fire where he had a girlfriend at the time and made sure I knew I couldn't go live at his place even if he had three empty bedrooms. I never asked and wouldn't have considered an invite, but still. He knows I'm engaged because his brother saw the announcement on Facebook and refused to meet my fiance. Heck, I'm pregnant and don't intend to tell him. His neglect made both of us stop caring and sometimes he asks my brother why? Why don't I reach out? Why don't I care? And I really don't care. When I needed him, he was neglectful. And why would I care now that I don't need him? It's a natural progression. You are fighting for this lack of care not happening in your relationship. I never did. You're putting your sanity on the line to keep him in your life, but relationships are a two-way street and you just reminded your dad of that. You cannot be the only one to try. The only one to send invitations are the only one to care. He needs to realize that before it's too late. But I would look into therapy right now for yourself to talk about those fears he won't show up and about this unhealthy relationship. You need to learn to set boundaries in a healthy, non-emotional way because yelling ultimatums is not healthy and can backfire on you. All in all, you deserve better and your dad is a blind idiot that needs a kick where the sun don't shine. You can use extension cords. A few years ago, I was looking at a garage rental space for a workshop. I met with the landlord and everything looked great, except that there was only one outlet in this huge space, and it was at the completely wrong end of the building. I asked the guy about the electric, explaining I needed to run tools. He said, "Yeah, that's fine, and I won't charge you for electric." I said, "Okay, awesome. Is there any way I can have another outlet added further out in this space?" He seemed very confused and asked why I couldn't just use extension cords. I explained that I'd have to run one over 100 feet and it would cross over the garage door entrance and I'd be worried about the resistance tripping the breaker, which I didn't have any access to. Again, he seemed very confused. I simplified my explanation again, figuring he didn't know much about electrics, and he said, "Okay, we can definitely talk about adding an outlet." So, with my electrical concerns addressed, I agreed to come back the next day to put down a deposit and sign the lease. The next day I arrive, check in hand, and once again ask him about the electric. He again seems very confused with my issue, again asking why I can't just use extension cords. I patiently explain again, this time, saying, "Well, the junction box is right here. I could just run another line and I'll do everything to code." He says no, saying he doesn't want me messing with the electric. I figured and he's concerned with insurance, so I say, "What if I hired an electrician to do it and paid him for it?" It would make the space more attractive to future tenants. But again, he disagreed, and this time said, "I think you should just use extension cords." At this point, I was torn. I wanted this space, it was a reasonable price and size, but the electric was very important as well. I pushed the issue one more time, but again he wouldn't relent and said, "I don't want anyone messing with the electrical." Okay, fine. Me. Would you mind if I hung up the extension cords on the top of the wall so it's out of the way? Him. Yeah, sure, that's fine. Me. So it's okay if I screw or staple the wires up? Yeah, absolutely. No problem. Okay. So I signed the lease and a few days later went to the hardware store, bought 250 feet of 12x3 romex, electrical house wire for those not familiar, an outlet box, an outlet, and a pack of wire staples and a heavy-duty plug end. I looked up the local electrical code and went to town. I wired up an extra outlet just as an electrician would, complete with to-code wiring placement and staples and all, and then ran into the existing outlet and terminated it into the heavy-duty plug. I effectively made a really nice extension cord. This worked perfectly, never popped the breaker and was a lot safer than running a random extension cord across the building. The best part was his reaction. He didn't notice until I was about to leave and I asked him if he wanted me to take it down. He said, "Wait, you did that?" I thought that was just wiring that was already here. Then when I pointed out to him that he could just have it spliced into the junction box by an electrician, he was impressed and said, "No, that's fine. You can leave it."

I, 30 female, have been with my husband for seven years and married for four of them. I love him, and I'm genuinely happy with our marriage and the life we've built together with our kids. I was happy the day he proposed. I was happy during our honeymoon. We've had our ups and downs ever since, but overall I would say that I was happy. Although, I wasn't happy during the planning and actual wedding. Why? Because it wasn't the wedding I wanted. A few months into the engagement, my husband's grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and wasn't expected to live long. Our wedding was predicted to be the last big family event that she would ever attend. Of course, I felt sad and was more than willing to change the date of the wedding to better suit her needs. But what I was not expecting was that it would become her wedding, and I was to be treated like a figure on a playset. She picked out the venue, the color scheme, the food, music, the flowers, and even my dress. It all started out as subtle suggestions, but when I started to try and put my foot down, I was called a heartless bridezilla who couldn't honor a dying woman's request, and the fact that they were paying very little into the actual wedding would be a jerk thing to bring up. After a fight, my husband was told to reconsider the engagement if I couldn't do this one thing, and how a wedding was more important to me than actually becoming a part of the family. Knowing that I'd never win, I set in my car and cried for an hour, mourning the loss of the wedding I wanted, and in the end, let the in-laws have their way. I didn't even attend further meetings to discuss the planning, and left both the bridal shower and bachelorette party early. Once the actual day arrived, I swallowed my disappointment and just went through the motions. Since then, my sister and best friend each had their weddings, and I was made of honor for both, and was excited each time. I took my role very seriously and had a lot of fun. My cousin is getting married and asked me to be her maid of honor, and I jumped at the chance. Recently, I'd been spending hours on the phone and Zoom putting together a planning binder. My husband took note of my enthusiasm and made a joke about missing that energy on our day and brushed it off. After that, I cut down my wedding planning and his presence, but he wouldn't let up citing that we don't keep any wedding photos out, that I got rid of my dress as soon as I could, and how I looked so much more happy at someone else's wedding than our own. He wouldn't let up and eventually we got into a fight where I finally confessed that while I love him, I hated our wedding. My husband has now heard and giving me this silent treatment. Am I the jerk? Edit. I stepped away for a little bit, but I'm already getting so many wonderful comments and messages. Thank you so much for validating my feels, although there are some things that I wanted to clear up first. One, my husband's grandma passed a few months after we came back from the honeymoon, and she recounted our wedding as being one of the happiest moments of her final days, so I made the decision to not bring up how much it wasn't a good day for me, so my husband and I never really talked about our wedding in this way until now. Two, while I am into super planner mode for my cousin's wedding, I'm strictly adhering to the bride and groom get final say rule because I don't want to make others feel how I did. Hence the binder, so if they shoot down one suggestion, we've got three others. Not the jerk. I just don't understand. Even the dress? Like, when they told you the dress they wanted you to wear and you said no, they called you a bridezilla? Did you not respond with just to understand I'm the bride? It's my wedding. Am I really not allowed to choose the dress I'm going to get married in? I'm a bridezilla because I want to wear a dress at my wedding that I like and choose myself. Did any of you not choose your own dress at your own weddings? I have no issue with grandma choosing things as well, but she got to plan her own wedding and wasn't called a bridezilla. Is my opinion at my own wedding really less? It's great that you moved up the wedding for her, but your husband is the jerk for not protecting you, for not putting his foot down. Ask him if he knows anyone else in his family that didn't get to choose their own wedding dress. Not the jerk. Every time you try to have something of your wedding for yourself, you are a gas lid with guilt to make you conform to what they wanted. You're allowed to be upset over that. Your husband still doesn't understand this. Tell him, she won the other foot and hypothetically it's my mom passing and everything you want for our wedding is denied because it's not what she wants. She picks the color, your suit, every important detail and you're not allowed to have an opinion because she's passing. You're basically a doll that's getting dressed up and going through the motions of a day that you thought you would have had more of a hand in considering it's your darn wedding. Then try and see it from my point of view. New neighbor won't stop blowing leaves. OMG y'all, the neighbors from heck have moved in next door. This man cannot sit still apparently and has done more yard work than any person should reasonably do unless they're landscapers. It's every single day. I'd hoped once fall arrived it would calm down, but nope. Just to give y'all an idea, we live in a rural area but it's a neighborhood where you can shake hands with your neighbors from your kitchen window. Built in 1975 when people wanted neighbors close or something. I've lived here my whole life, bought the house from my parents and no one in this neighborhood is this loud. He's blowing leaves every single day for hours. Because we live in the country there's tons of trees and because no one else takes and it's Oklahoma, wind brings leaves from up the street into his and our yard. So most people just don't bother. I've always felt it's better for the grass, it's fertilizer. Not like leaves are going to hurt anything. Anyway, I normally just deal with it, but today I've got a migraine. My bedroom window is literally right next to this guy's driveway. After two hours I peeled myself out of bed, put on clothes and went to literally beg him to stop for the day. Y'all, I literally got on my knees, hands together and begged this jerk to stop. Two hours later he's still out there fighting the losing battle with leaves. They just moved in about four months ago and he has alienated every single neighbor with his obsessive yard work. I know this cause I posted on next door how rude he was to me. Basically told me, "Sorry, but not going to stop. Put on headphones and stop complaining." And everyone on my street and the street behind me jumped in to complain about him. Why did they have to move in here? Reply. Same with us in the downstairs neighbor who treats his patio as a woodshop, storage and garage. He never stops building, hammering, drilling all day, sometimes overnight, every single day, going on three years now. Next spring, we're out of here. He seems to be unemployed. From early mornings he's out there. He never sits down. Not only is he altering the apartment that he doesn't own inside and out, he's building robots made out of household items and he takes them out even at midnight underneath our bedrooms to test them. This patio is right underneath our bedrooms. Check your noise ordinance laws. If he's violating the hours, call the cops. OP. Wow, he seems to know the nuisance laws because he makes sure to only be working during those hours. I usually ignore it, but when I've got a migraine it's nearly impossible. What kind of selfish jerk continues doing something after a neighbor literally begs them not to for a legitimate reason? Just one day was all I was asking for. His response? "When will I get rid of my leaves then?" "I wanted to yell." "Look you jerk. All I'm asking for is one day without you making a ton of noise. Is that too much to ask you jerk?" "Plus, you aren't getting rid of them. You're blowing them into my yard. Jerk, I really want to move, but we are stuck."
