Episode Date: June 23, 2020

r/AmITheA**hole In today's episode, OP lives with her boyfriend, and during the Covid-19 quarantine her boyfriend's parents come to live with them in her apartment. The problem? They are insanely entitled and are constantly undermining OP at every turn. They disobey her rules, call her names, and act like they own the house even though they're staying there for free. So, OP kicks them to the curb and then wonders if she made the wrong move.

Today's subreddit is R-Slash, and I, the Butthole, and next, a word from our sponsors. I, the Butthole, 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 accident.

He broke just about every bone in his body and left him paralyzed from the waist down. Our relationship has always been really good, but I hate seeing him in pain and admittedly tried to avoid seeing him because it just makes me uncomfortable. In November I'm getting married. I've been with my fiance for four years and he and my dad got 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 realized my dad would be in a wheelchair.

We always talked about him giving me away and having a dance in my wedding and I don't want to be reminded of what could have been in my wedding. I messaged my mom privately and told her I went 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 ablest piece of garbage, and removed me from the group chat. My aunt has since called me telling me that my dad is absolutely devastated. Am I the butthole? She's OP. That was uncomfortable to read. I have to imagine that when your dad found that out, that hurt more than when he got hit by that car. I mean, it is your wedding, so you have a right to arrange your wedding in whatever fashion you want, but

just because you have a right to be a butthole doesn't excuse you being a butthole. Am I the butthole for leaving the family restaurant and starting my own after finding out I wouldn't inherit it? My dad owns a pizza place that was handed down to him from my grandfather. I've been working at the pizza place my whole life, even part time while I got a business degree. I found out early last year that my dad had willed the restaurant to my stepmom. His reasoning being that she needs to be taken care of after he dies and that it would go to me after she died.

I was pissed and quit the next day. My dad ended up hiring two people to make up for the work that I was doing. Now this is the potential butthole part. A month after I quit, I found a great location where another pizza place had been shut down. I bought it and had it up and running in two months. My restaurant has take out only, but my business is doing extremely well. My dad reached out to me last September and said that his restaurant was losing business because of me and to please come back to the family business. He offered to buy my business so I would

get something out of it. I declined the offer. Now the craziness of 2020 happened and because my restaurant was already set up for takeout, I am only seeing a 5-10% drop in revenue. The family restaurant, however, is going under. Now there's a whole lot of arguing about me causing my dad's family to become financially ruined. Am I the butthole? So I realized things are a little bit different for the world of YouTubers. But if I had a kid and that kid decided to go off and make his own YouTube channel that became successful, I'd be so proud of him. So it's weird to me that your dad is getting upset at you for starting a successful

business. And honestly, it sounds like you're not the reason that his business is failing. If your pizza place can succeed in 2020, then there's really no reason that his place can't succeed in 2020 as well. My guess is that he's just doing a sucky job of managing it. I'll give you zero out of five but holes OP OP, and don't forget OP, you can always offer to buy your dad's restaurant so he can get something out of it. Am I the butthole for grounding my son after he said he got into an argument with my boyfriend over something from 10 years ago? My boyfriend, H, and my oldest son had a bad relationship ever since H had accidentally burned down our house.

What an opening sentence. He put in a pizza while me, my two sons and daughter went Ever since H had accidentally burned down our house. What an opening sentence. He put into pizza while me, my two sons and daughter went out to the mall, and H had forgot about it and left to go back to his apartment. When we got back home, our kitchen was on fire, and by the time the fire trucks got here, the whole downstairs was on fire. Our house was pretty much destroyed, and our husky passed away in the fire. When I told my boyfriend about it, he remembered his pizza.

He apologized and I forgave him but my son never did. My other two were too young to remember. My cousin said she could watch my kids until we got a new house and I stayed with H at his house. It was too small to hold all of us. A lot of our stuff was damaged but not enough to be thrown away so we got a new house two years later and my son still hasn't forgiven age. It only got worse when he got older. He would never say hello to HWNY came over and would always avoid him. Like one time when HWNY came over and I cooked dinner, my son ate upstairs instead of downstairs

with a family. Today, my son was on a call with his friends playing video games and my son lost and said, what the hell? So H went upstairs to his room to tell him, look, stop all that cursing, you're not grown, and my son pretty much ignored him until H said, why are you ignoring me, answer me, and my son yelled at him to get out of his room. After that, they got into a loud argument. I ran upstairs to tell them to stop and my son yelled out, have you not gotten it yet? I don't like you. You burned down our house and want to act like you're my dad, leave me alone. I told HL handle this and told my son that he's acting like a child

and that I understand that he was upset years ago, but now you need to let it go. It's been 10 years and that H has apologized and that he needs to forgive him. He said, I don't care, he's a stupid person who you took back after he burned down our old home with all our stuff and our dog. I'm not forgiving him. I don't even know why you took this patchy bearded idiot back anyways. Last week he made fries and left the oven on for an hour after he was done, and it didn't get turned off until I came downstairs and saw it was on, and he's an irresponsible

idiot. I told him he was grounded for disrespecting him and then he needs to get over it. I called my friend why to tell her what happened and she said, honestly, he kinda has a right to be mad. He lost his childhood home when he was 5 and his dog. So now I feel like I could have handled it better. So reddit, am I the butthole? Down in the comments, pick a suru sums it better. So Reddit and I the butthole. Down in the comments, Pixarous sums this up quite well.

You're the butthole. Even giving your boyfriend the benefit of the doubt with a fire, you then had your children move in with a cousin while you lived elsewhere. Your kids lost their house, their security, all their stuff, their dog, and you went and stayed with your boyfriend? Huge you're the butthole there. Second, you're the butthole was forgiving your boyfriend for something that he clearly does regularly that could lead to another fire and possibly killing you and or one or more of your children. Third, you're the butthole is letting him discipline your son for anything.

It's made worth that he's yelling at your son for saying the word hell. If my math is correct, your son is 15 years old. There is no reason to reprimand a 15 year old for saying hell. You will not have a relationship with your son when he's an adult and it's your fault. Yeah, the thing that bothers me the most about this is that there seems to be no effort to actually help your son deal with his loss. It seems that you're in your boyfriend's way of dealing with your son's grief is to say, sorry about your dead dog, suck it up kid, but you'll all be relieved to know that OP posted an update.

Am I the butthole for kicking my boyfriend's parents out of our apartment after his mom called me the B word? Back in March, my boyfriend's parents decided they wanted to come wake quarantine out at our apartment. For starters, they never asked. His mother called and told me that they were on their way and to prepare a spare bedroom for them. I was already apprehensive about them staying with us because his parents have always been extremely rude to me. They're

overly critical of everything I say to me. They're overly critical of everything I say and do. They're massive control freaks who feel entitled to always being charged. So right off the bat, things are miserable. They verbally abuse me daily. Tell me what I can and can't do in my own apartment and are overall just the worst. Out of everything, the air conditioning caused the greatest debacle. Where I live, it's been 85-90 almost every day. I normally keep my air on 70, but when they start complaining, I turn the air up to 75. This is already a little toasty for me, but I was willing to be a little hot to try to keep the peace.

This wasn't good enough for them. They don't want air on, period. They want the heat on, and they turn it on every single opportunity they get. I wake up in the middle of the night, covered in sweats. I've told them to stop countless times. Yesterday, I finally cracked. I put about 10 pieces of duct tape over the thermostat with a note attached to it that said, do not touch the thermostat while I'm at work. At 6 p.m. I walk into my apartment and I'm automatically hit

by a hotter and more humid heat than it is outside. The duct tape and note have been torn off the thermostat and they have the heat on 98 f degrees. I go into the guest room and say, why could you not follow the simple instruction of don't touch the thermostat? This is my home. I'm tired of you saying root things to me. I'm tired of you treating me like a child and creating your own rules for MY apartment. You either need to be respectful towards me and learn to accept my boundaries or go back to your

own house. His mother said, and I'd disdainfully quote, �You have no right to barge in here without knocking. That was not only an invasion of privacy, but you need to take that attitude out of your tone. I've dealt with much bigger B words than you before. She went on for 30 minutes and I just tuned her out. When she was done talking, I told her to get out. Now my boyfriend is angry with me because I couldn't just let her have their way. He wants me to call his mom and apologize, but I don't think I should have to. I may have been rude to her, but it was only because I've spent the past two months dealing with her abuse and trying to politely ask her to stop treating me this way. I got tired of politely asking someone to stop treating me like garbage in my own home,

in which I was letting them live in for free. I also got tired of my boyfriend refusing to defend me and allowing her to say and do whatever she wanted. I'm trying to understand their perspective, although it just doesn't seem reasonable to me. If Reddit determines I'm the butthole, I'll call and apologize. OP, if my girlfriend's parents treated me that way and she just let it happen, then I'd seriously consider dumping her.

That's not the type of family you want to be married to, and that's not the kind of support you'd expect from a wife. Am I the butthole for telling my husband I regret having our children and telling my daughter I never wanted her? She's Louise OP, I haven't even read this story and I already know you're the butthole here. I'm a 24 year old woman and I have four children. I had my first when I was 19.

My children are a 5 year old girl, a 3 year old girl, a 2 year old girl and a 1 year old boy. All of our children have been planned, but it's always been my husband pushing to have another. If he'd have let me, I would have stopped after our oldest. I never really wanted to be a mom, and don't feel as though I connect with him very well. A few nights ago, I was putting my eldest daughter to sleep when she started asking me loads of questions. She's a really curious little girl. I had a traumatic birth with her and post-natal

depression, so I always struggled with bonding, and still do struggle connecting with her. She told me she wants lots of babies when she's older, and still do struggle connecting with her. She told me she wants lots of babies when she's older, and then asked me how many I wanted when she was her age. I told her I didn't want Annie, and then I didn't even want Annie when I had her. I know she's only five, but she massively misinterpreted and got upset. I comforted her and put her back to sleep. In the morning, she must have told her father what had happened when he was making her breakfast, as I woke up to my husband to absolutely furious with me for traumatizing our daughter

and damaging her self-esteem. I told him she'd be fine, but he kept shouting at me telling me I was an awful mother. I replied that it's hard being a good mother to kids you regret having. He asked if I was being serious, and I said that I was being impulsive when I said that, but that I didn't want them and he knew that. He left the room absolutely furious with me and took the kids to his parents' house. Am I the butthole? I've never heard anyone say that a 5-year-old massively misinterpreted anything.

They can't misinterpret. They're five. What you said to your daughter was incredibly inappropriate. Even if it's true, that's something you just never say to a child. Opie, I think you need counseling. Am I the butthole for not waking up my girlfriend for her exam after I overheard her calling me a little B word? My girlfriend has online summer courses and she had an exam for one of them this morning.

I usually wake her up for pretty much everything because she sleeps through her phone alarm no matter how long it buzzes or how many she sets. She's joke that I'm her butler before and within the context of her relationship, it's okay so I don't mind. Obviously, I want to love my partner and try to make her life easy. However, last night, she was chatting with her friends and she thought I couldn't hear. She was bragging that I'm her little B and I do everything for her when she tells me

to, etc. It really hurt my feelings because they were making comments like, good, put them in his place. And she was agreeing. She specifically said, yeah, I'm not too worried about tomorrow because the B will make sure I'm up and he'll probably have breakfast ready for me too. I went to bed pretty hurt by it and come morning, I didn't bother to wake her up when her alarm started to go.

She usually only gets up when someone physically shakes her, but I let her turn off the alarm when she slipped back in the sleep and I turned around and went back to sleep too. When she woke up, she was yelling at me, saying I'm a butthole and I've cost her her exam and I'm a piece of garbage for what I did. Wait, hold on. Let me get this straight. Your girlfriend sets an alarm which wakes up both of you with the expectation that you, who is now awake, will wake her up. OP, your girlfriend sounds like a Karen in the making. I would get out of that relationship ASAP. Zero out of five buttholes for the making, I would get out of that relationship ASAP. Zero out of 5 buttholes for OP and the Karen gets 3 out of 5 buttholes.

Am I the butthole for telling my stepdaughter to stop using period products in the bathroom she shares with my teenage sons? I've been living with my new wife and stepdaughter for about 6 months now. She's 19, almost 20, and I have 3 sons, 18, 16, and 15. She's a really good kid, and she's a good influence on my sons. I really enjoy having her around. My wife and her daughter moved into my house and sold theirs. My stepdaughter's father is in-present in her life, nor is my son's mother. All four children share a bathroom.

My sons have never lived for a long period of time with a woman, nor have any of them had long-term girlfriends. They had short visitation periods when they were younger, but never lived longer than an hour, so living with two women has been unusual for them. My eldest son, 18, came to me last week and told me that his steps as their disposes offer used sanitary products in the trash can that they share. But doesn't use toilet roll or sandwich bags to disguise what they are, and it makes him uncomfortable,

which I think is reasonable. My sons are teenage boys and don't want to see their steps through his period products on full display. A few nights ago, I went into the kitchen to grab a snack and she was there doing some work for university. My wife had mentioned that she knew she was on her periods, so I took it as an opportunity to have a word with her. I told her my sons were uncomfortable and asked her if she'd mind putting her used products in diaper bags or flushing them down the toilet. She laughed and told me it was rich coming from a man who sheds like a gorilla and has produced three skidmark sons, which I thought was just an unnecessary attack. I've been nothing but nice to the girl and it's hardly a comparison. My son shouldn't be subjected to her unhygienic products if it makes them uncomfortable. She went on to lecture me about how tampons can't be flush and that it's hardly a comparison. My son shouldn't be subjected to her unhygienic products if it makes them uncomfortable.

She went on to lecture me about how tampons can't be flush and that it's bad for the environment if she uses diaper bags for everyone, which I think is just an excuse. I called her a scruff and told her that this was my house and that what I say goes. I later asked my wife if she could have a word with her and she told me I was being ridiculous and that her daughter has had her period for 10 years and knows what she's doing. When I told her it was making my sons uncomfortable, she said my sons needed to get a grip and turned over and went to sleep. This is a genuine issue to me and she didn't care enough to have a discussion about it. I asked my stepdaughter again in the morning and she did the same as her mother,

completely dismissed it. Both of them told me to stop being so silly, but I don't see how I'm being unreasonable when it makes my sons uncomfortable. Am I the butthole? Yeah, sorry buddy, but you're definitely the butthole here. Though I'm only going to give you like 1.5 out of 5 buttholes. Instead of shaming an adult woman about her body, you should have just sat down your sons and explained to them that this is something they're just going to have to deal with in life. I mean, trust me, if you don't have this conversation with your sons now, then their next

girlfriends are definitely going to have this conversation with them. So just tell your sons to grow up and then move on together as a family.
