Welcome to R-slash, Am I the Butthole, where O.P. has an encounter with an entitled Karen. Am I the butthole for kicking out a family that gate crashed a private party? I booked a soft play for my son's birthday party. It has both public sessions and private sessions. By the way, a soft play is a massive indoor climbing frame covered in padding and safety nets with slides and ballpits, stuff like that.

I obviously booked one of the private sessions and didn't interfere with the usual times that's available to the, the public. When I opened the buffet, a woman I didn't know approached me, asking if her children could have some. I explained that I'd booked the venue for a private party. She said, That doesn't matter. My children want some food. I replied no, because the food was for the party. She walked away, telling her children to just wait until I left the food area. Realizing she wasn't taking my answer, I asked staff to speak to her. They did, explaining it was a private event and they needed to leave. She shouted that her and her children were not leaving and that I should be told to allow the children to have the food. I went back over, said again that it was a private

event, and she shouted, what is a sandwich? Repeatedly at me until I shouted back that she needed to leave. She did eventually leave flicking me off as she walked out the door. The soft play wasn't at capacity. And in truth, there probably was enough for them to have some of the buffet. But the she approached me with the assumption that I would say yes, and then blatantly planning to disregard my answer made me stay on my ground. So am I the butthole for kicking out the gate crashers? O.P., you get zero out of five but holes, but I think the way you should have handled that was to yell the definition of a sandwich at her, two pieces of bread containing meat and or other savory things such as peanut butter, and often including vegetables and some kind of sauce, or something

like that. Am I the butthole for telling my boyfriend that I'm not going to be anything like his mom? And if he expects that, we should break up. I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 25. This past week, we flew to his hometown. His grandma passed away and we flew there to stay for four days. I don't actually have anything bad to say about his mom. She's very sweet, warm, and welcoming. My boyfriend is number five of 13 children. The youngest isn't even a year old yet. His family home is huge and very clean and everyone seemed great. The issue I have is that my boyfriend's mom is and always has been a stay-at-home mom. While we were there, she was constantly busy. She did everything. She basically streamlined her husband's life. He doesn't really have to do anything

at home. She cooks, she cleans, she looks after the children. She even does his laundry and ironing. His dad really didn't do anything at all. Apparently, she even takes care of the yard and garden. All he does is maintenance. She also gets up before he does and makes his breakfast and lunch and gets everything ready for him, so all he has to do is grab it and go. My boyfriend said that once the kids get old enough, they have their own chores and stuff. But the mom did a serious amount of work. His dad owns some sort of contractor business.

As soon as he walked in the door after work, there was food on the table. And no one was allowed to eat until his dad sat down and ate his first bite and told his mom that it was good. The meal she cooked was absolutely massive. There was enough food to feed an army. She was cooking most of the evening. It was very good, but oh my god, it was a lot. I asked my boyfriend if this meal was special because of the guests, but apparently she always cooks enough to feed an army.

Lunch was pretty much just to eat whatever was in the refrigerator. Breakfast was also a massive meal that I have no idea what time she got up, but it was a big breakfast. The family did at least clean everything up, so she didn't have to clean, but oh my God, I do not envy her. When we were on our way home, my boyfriend was talking about his family and basically saying how much he loved the way they lived. And I told him I am absolutely not doing that at all. I don't want to be a stay-at-home mom. I have a career I love. I absolutely will not be streamlining his life.

I expect a basically 50-50 lifestyle. I'm not doing everything for him. He acted like he understood and said that he didn't expect me to be exactly like his mother, but he did expect me to be home more if we had children. I basically told him that if he wants to stay at home mom, he should break up, and he can find someone who feels the same way. Now he's upset and basically told me that he wanted some time. I haven't heard from him since Monday.

I'm not sure what to do. O.P., don't sweat it. You two are not compatible. You want the modern lifestyle 50-50. He wants the old-fashioned patriarchy, the man works and the woman stays at home and cooks and puts out babies and, you know, all that stuff. So, you know, not every relationship survives the, how are we going to divide chores and cooking and work conversation? Sounds like your relationship is yet another casualty. Am I the butthole for not making my daughter-in-law coffee and telling her I'm not a barista?

My son and my daughter-in-law, Emily, are staying in our home probably for the next month due to Water Day. damage in their home. The company is fixing the damage, but the flooring was damaged, so it's not very livable right now. They've only been here less than a week, and I'm having an issue. I work nights and come back home around 6.30 a.m. and then go to bed. My husband is usually up, so I'm making a coffee and breakfast before I turn in. It's just something I like to do. More quality time before he hits to work. I asked my son and Emily if they would also like their coffee or breakfast before they go to work. They said no to food, but yes to coffee. That was easy. I just made two extra cups. I asked them to tell me if they want me to change how to make their coffee.

I thought they would just say, use this cream, or a certain preference on blend. Emily texted me last night and said she left instructions for the coffee. This morning, I came home to very detailed instructions how to make a complex coffee. It was like a Starbucks drink. She wanted foamed milk on top, different syrups, a specific coffee bean ground fresh. and a different brewing method. We have a drip coffee machine. Most of the stuff was on the counter. I decided I wasn't doing that and just made the normal coffee. Emily wasn't happy, and we got into an argument before she went to work.

I basically told her that I'm not a Starbucks parista, and I'm not doing all that. She told me that I shouldn't have offered in the first place if I wouldn't make the coffee to her liking. We left on a sour note. I've been getting texts from my son about not being hospitable, so my God. so I'm having trouble sleeping at the moment. Should I just make the coffee? Yo, not being hospitable, you're letting them stay rent free for a whole month. How is a month of free rent not hospitable?

That is the definition of hospitable. They should be making you coffee. Wouldn't that be a nice thing to do like, hey, mother-in-law, thank you so much for letting me stay here. I know how to make these really awesome Starbucks-quality coffee. Would you like me to make one for you as a way to say, thank you for the month of no rent accommodations. Super entitled.

This lady sounds like the type of person who yells at their barista at Starbucks. I'm talking about the wife here, not O.P. O.P., you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving your entitled son and entitled daughter-in-law one out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for refusing to pay for my girlfriend's haircut after she donated her hair? So I'm a 26-year-old guy, and my girlfriend, who's 25, has been growing out her hair for years. She always said she wanted to donate it, and I thought that was a great idea. I even told her it was really sweet of her to do that.

Well, last weekend, she finally did it. She chopped off over 12 inches and donated it to a charity that makes wigs for kids with cancer. Amazing, right? Except now, she hates how short her hair is. She says she feels ugly, she misses her long hair, and she's been super upset about it. She booked an expensive hair appointment at a salon to fix it. Layers, color, extensions, I don't even know. And then she sent me the bill over $500, expecting me to cover it.

Her reasoning, she donated her hair to do something good, and I should support her because I encouraged her to do it. I told her that while I think what she did was amazing, I never told her to donate her hair. That was her decision. And I don't think it's fair to expect me to pay for it. for her to fix it now. She got really upset and said that I was being unsupportive and selfish, and she's now barely speaking to me. O.P., your girlfriend is 25 and is still this stupid and selfish

and entitled and expects everyone else to fix her problems for her? It's interesting how someone can be so selfless and donate their hair, but so selfish and expect everyone else to cater to them. O.P., you get zero out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for not selling my neighbor a thrift rocking chair that I just bought? I'm 27, and I just bought my house in July 2024. We've learned that most of the neighbors are old as hell, and are very nosy and ornery that young families are moving into the neighborhood in recent years. They'll just walk up to you and tell you this. I've been shopping thrift and estate sales to furnish this cute house. This morning, I came from an estate sale with a beautiful wing-backed rocking chair. I'm unloading it from the bed of my truck, when my neighbor

Carol, sticks her giraffe neck over the fence, and starts squawking about how beautiful it is. I said, thanks. I got it at an estate sale for $10. This triggered the parasites in her brain, and I kid you not, she teleported over to the truck. She starts going off about how much she needs a chair to rock her grandkids to sleep in, and how much she would appreciate it if it was hers. I told her I got it for my future babies to be rocked to sleep in, and that it still needs lots of work before it can be used. This is when she starts offering me money. $15 because it's more than what you paid for it. Then telling me that I don't need it because I don't have kids yet and her grandkids are only little for so long. After firmly telling her that I wasn't interested in selling it, she offered me

$20. I was standing in the bit of the truck looking down at her on the driveway and firmly said, no, Carol, I'm really not interested in selling this. Please go home. And I pointed to her side of the fence. Apparently, this was me shouting at her and being aggressive. She ran home and later in the day her husband said something to my husband as he was getting home from a game. Telling him that I spoke to her like a dog and was being a nasty neighbor and that my husband needs to straighten me out. Are my neighbor's nuts? Was I rude to her? O.P., just stop talking to. to your neighbors. It's very simple. Hopefully they die soon. You get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving your neighbor one out of five buttholes. Am I the butthole for docking my son's allowance the

amount that he made my premium go up? I'm a 50-year-old guy and I just switched insurance companies to try to save money because I've instituted a monthly budget to stop overspending in our family of five. The new insurance company asked for my 19-year-old son's driver's ed completion certificate. I contacted the company who said that he can't get the certificate because he skipped the online portion of the test. My son passed in the class and the road test, but he has an objection to online driver's ed because it's pointless. I explained that no matter how pointless it feels, it was a term of our contract with them and he broke it. And the result is that my insurance is $13 a month more than it would have been had he completed the course. I still give him an allowance and I've reduced it by that

$13 a month because I hold him 100% responsible for not completing his course, which cost $715, by the way. Am I the butthole? Am I being petty for nickeling and diming a young man and shaking him down to help pay my bills? My other option included just taking him off my policy and forbid him to drive it all, or make him reimburse me the 715 I paid him for driver's ed. I didn't do any of that. I think I'm invoking a natural consequence based on real world impact and not vengeance. O.P., if your son is 19 years old, that's definitely old enough to understand that actions have consequences, even if those consequences are nickel and dimey consequences.

I mean, every adult does eventually have to learn the lesson that if you overdraft in your bank account, you get charged, you know, whatever it is nowadays, 10 bucks, 20 bucks. That's just the way the world works. If you're not careful, everyone's going to nickel and dime you because everyone wants your money. O.P., you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving your ever-so-slightly spoiled sun, 0.5 out of five buttholes. That was our slash am I the butthole.
