r/AmITheA**hole In today's episode, OP went on a date with a guy who has some... interesting beliefs. He told OP that girls get periods from their butts. OP was shocked and asked if he was joking, and he said no. He actually tried to argue with her that she was wrong and he was right -- that women get butt periods. OP laughed at him, which led to him storming off and then breaking up with her. LOL WHAT? Get $90 off and a free gift at Sunbasket!

Welcome to our slash Am I the butthole where O.P. has a date who thinks that women have periods out of their butts. Am I the butthole for interrupting my ex-husband's birthday and taking my daughter home because she was there without consent? I'm a 35 year old woman and I got separated with my ex-husband who's 37 one year ago. We share custody of our 15 year old daughter. My ex-husband has her for certain days and his birthday didn't fall on one of those days. In fact, it fell on one of the days when my daughter was supposed to be with me. He called me so we could discuss letting him have my daughter on the day of his birthday, but I told him no because it's not his day to have her.

He got my daughter involved, and she said that she really wants to go, but I said no because I have my reasons. My ex-husband dropped it, but on the day of his birthday, I went to pick my daughter up from school, but I discovered that he had picked her up and took her straight to the restaurant where his birthday party was taking place. I was fuming, and I called him, but he didn't pick up. I then called my daughter and she said that she was with him. I used the location featured a tracker phone and got the address. I showed up and interrupted the party. My ex-husband started arguing with me, but I told him that he didn't have my consent to have my daughter with him that day, but he said that

my daughter wanted to be there for his birthday. My former mother-in-law tried to speak to me and I told her to stay out of it. Then I told my daughter to grab her stuff because we were going home. My ex-husband and family unloaded on me, and I tried to ignore them and just leave, but my daughter made it hard for me. I took her home eventually and grounded her for agreeing to leave school with her dad when it wasn't his day. Her dad called me yelling about how bitter and spiteful I was to deprive my daughter from attending his birthday. I told him its basic respect and boundaries, but he claimed that it was just me being

spiteful and deliberately hurtful towards him, and that I didn't even care how it affected my daughter. I hung up, but more of his family members started blasting me on social media, saying that I showed up and made a scene at the restaurant They win as far as calling me unstable. All right. I've got to ask you before I get into the analysis Did you guys notice what she did here when she was writing? Did you pick it up? It's kind of subtle. She said in her very first sentence we share custody of our 15-year-old daughter Then every single other time throughout this entire post, she never says our daughter again.

She only says my daughter. How many times does she do it actually? My daughter. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11 times she says my daughter. And one time, that one time in the very first sentence, she says our daughter. I feel like this really subtle cue

gives us a pretty good insight into what kind of person OP is in this post. Like, yeah, you share custody, but OP, do you honestly think that you're more entitled to your daughter than the father is? Because it kind of seems like it. Honestly, OP, your ex-husband is right, denying them like this on your ex-husband's birthday is

petty. It is unreasonable. How would you feel if your birthday happened to land on his day and he wouldn't let you see your daughter on your birthday? Would you be totally cool with it because it wasn't your day? No, of course you wouldn't be okay with it. You should have just been a decent person and allowed your daughter to go be with her father on her father's birthday. And then to top things off, when you brought your daughter home, you grounded her? You grounded her because she went with her father when it wasn't his date to pick her up. She's a child.

Why are you making her responsible for an argument between you and your ex-husband? She doesn't know what the situation is, like she may know there's a bit of friction, but she doesn't, she's not privy to your private conversations where she knows you decided this, he decided that, you're back and forth, like all she knows is, she comes out of her school, a parent is there. Okay, dad, cool, whatever, I'll go with you because you're my father, so this seems totally reasonable,

and you're gonna ground her for that? Ah, I have absolutely no respect for anyone who's willing to use their own children to get back at their ex-spouse. In my opinion, it's literally child abuse. You're willing to hurt a child just to hurt some other adult? That's messed up, man. I will say, though, definitely the husband shouldn't have gone to the school to pick up the daughter without permission, that's I'm pretty sure

It's illegal. It puts the daughter in an awkward situation. It's a very scary moment for you because you go to the school And you're like you don't know where your daughter is she supposed to be there. So that was definitely wrong He should not have done that. He should have had custody over that day But the way that he went about getting custody is was not correct for sure So for that I'm gonna give your husband two out of five but holes for you O.P. you get 4.5 out of five but holes. Am I the but hole for laughing hysterically after a date kept insisting to me that women That women have periods from their butts. I'm a 20 year old woman and there was this guy who was 22 who I'd gone on a few dates within the past couple of months.

He's nice, and so far we've only progressed to going on public dates, but about a week ago we finally decided to have a nice date at my place. Since it was gonna be at my place, I let him know before that I was on my period because I wasn't sure what expectations he had or where his boundaries were yet. And we agreed to just have a nice takeout dinner and watch a movie. He comes over, we eat, and sit down on the couch to pick a movie when he says that it sucks that I'm on my period.

Then he said how he thought that it was strange that women give birth from their vagina, but they have periods from their butts. This was a completely unprompted statement from him, and I'm still not sure how we got on that topic, to be honest. I asked him what he meant by that, and he said again exactly what he'd said before. I kind of smiled, assuming that he was just joking, and said, oh yeah, so weird, thinking that he was going to start laughing soon to end the joke. He didn't, and instead started to talk about his first and only girlfriend that he had in high school, and how she used to complain about bad period

poops all the time. At this point, I ask him if he's being serious, and he looks a little confused and says that he is. I ask him to explain how he came to that conclusion, and he explained that his first experience being around periods was his high school girlfriend, and before then, he had never received or seen much information. He understood that it was something that happened inside the body and that blood came out somewhere, but he assumed that the blood came out of the vagina until he heard her complaining and realized that it actually came out of the butt. This was very unexpected coming from a 22-year-old man. I somehow managed to keep my composure when I told him that periods do.

In fact, come out of the vagina and not buttholes. He looked confused and then a little frustrated and started insisting to me that I was wrong and then kept saying, are you sure? As if I was confused about where it came out of my own body. I explained anatomy a bit to him and how it worked, but he was very adamant. Eventually, he can see that most women must have periods like that, but some, like his ex-girlfriend, must have periods from their butts. He just couldn't understand no matter how many times I tried to explain it to him that

he just simply came to the wrong conclusion and misinterpreted his girlfriend's words. The whole situation became so much that I started to laugh. I was doubled over clutching my stomach, crying, laughing over this whole debacle. And he just sat there red face continuing to try to argue with me. Eventually he said that he was ready to leave and he did before we could watch a movie. I felt bad for laughing after he left, because I could tell that was the reason he decided to leave, and he also texted me later that night to say that he had done a little bit of research on his own, and he was no longer interested in pursuing any sort of relationship because he couldn't stand to be with someone who laughed at someone for not understanding. Am I the butthole? Wait, hold on. Does this dude think that butt plugs are a feminine hygiene product? Oh, it's that time of the month. Well, time to stuff my butt plug in and go about my

day. God, I've seen some pretty ridiculous examples of mansplaining in my life, but listening to a guy tell a woman, no no no no, your period comes out of your butt. Do you not understand this? It's probably the worst example of mansplaining I've ever heard. OP should have argued with him by trying to explain to him that one of the testicles makes pee and the other testicle makes semen. Man, I think I've said this before on this channel, but I distinctly remembered the last time that I had a gross misunderstanding about female anatomy, I was literally like elementary

school age. I felt that women had testicles, man, because you always hear boys have a penis, girls have a vagina, and I knew what those two things were, but that statement doesn't say anything about balls, so I figured, okay, well, it doesn't say that boys have a penis and balls, so I guess girls have balls too? Actually, remember asking a friend of mine who had a little sister, hey, so, girls have balls, right? And he's like, no?

I'm like, okay, well, what happens? Do they like fall, do they fall off later in life? So I thought they were born with balls and they lost them later in life. And he was like, no, what are you talking about? And I think it must have been either like kindergarten or first grade. It was a very, very early memory

because of how funny and embarrassing it was. This dude's 22. He's 22. Man, I was like 6 when I thought this. Haha, I can't stop laughing at the idea of a period plug. Hahaha. Could you imagine like going to CVS, are this supermarket, and you go to the hygiene aisle, and you see toothpaste, deodorant, feminine pads, butt plugs.

Am I the butthole for ruining my brother's date night and having him come pick up his three-year-old son after he dropped him off at my house right before my shift? I'm a 32-year-old guy and I have a 30-year-old brother,

Kevin, who's a single dad to a three-year-old. Kevin lives in the same city as me and we don't have any family or relatives here, just a few friends. Kevin has a habit of dumping his kid on me at random times to watch while he goes out on dates with women. So far, he's gone out on four dates while expecting me to watch my nephew. It bothers me because I have work commitments, I'm a nurse, and my schedule can be unpredictable. And so, he's caused me issues at work for dropping his kid off at my house

without telling me first. Last week, he did it again. He came over at 6 p.m. and entered my house with my nephew while I was showering and he left the house immediately. He has a spare key. I got out of the shower and I was shocked to see my nephew standing there alone. I asked where his dad was, and he said that he just left. I knew that he wanted me to watch my nephew. I called him several times on the phone, and he didn't pick up. I was so mad, and I was almost freaking out because I was getting late for my shift. I sent him a text telling him to come pick his son up right now, or I would call the cops on him for child abandonment. He texted me back, begging that I suck it up just this time because he had an important

date that he couldn't leave in the middle of. I told him I was serious and I would do it and I gave him 10 minutes to get home. He got home looking pissed and started yelling at me for ruining his date and making him leave in the middle of it just because I couldn't bother to skip one damn shift to watch my nephew. I told him that I never agreed to watch his son and he made me do it. He said that it was an emergency which made me laugh because calling a date night an emergency is just absurd. Long story short, he left with my nephew, but he hasn't stopped blaming me for spoiling

his date and probably causing damage to the relationship between him and his potential girlfriend. It's been a week and he's still salty about it, demanding that I make it up to him to call his date and lie to her and tell her some sob story about why he had to leave like that, but I am not gonna do that. Am I the butthole?

Um, well, if anything, OP, it sounds like him going off on days with random girls is how we ended up with a son in the first place. And yeah, it's surprising to me that you even feel the need to make this post in R-slash Am I the butthole because like, really, it's not your kid, it's his kid. And if he really wants to go on this so important date with the love of his life, then get a babysitter, like it's not complicated. What he's really saying here is that his ability to save, let's say, 20 bucks an hour to

pay a babysitter is more important than your privacy, your freedom, and your career OP. You can't just dump a three year old in someone else's apartment, like, okay, you were showering to get ready to go to work. What if, and this is a very plausible scenario? What if the kid gets bored because he's three? He goes off to some random room to play with stuff, then you get out of the shower, get dressed, and go to work without even realizing that the kid is in your house because he's quietly playing by himself in some random room. Then your three year old boy is just stuck inside your apartment, alone with no guidance,

no supervision, super dangerous. Oh, P, you get a rock solid zero out of five buttholes. I would also strongly recommend that you take back your spare key from your brother. Your brother gets 2.5 out of five buttholes. In no world is getting laid on emergency. Am I the butthole for cussing at a lady at the park? I'm a 14 year old guy, and I recently took my sister, who's four, to a park close to my

house. She was pretty excited to go because her dad bought her a bicycle and she wanted to try it out. When we arrived there, there was a lady with her two sons and a daughter. I made eye contact with the lady, and just smiled and waged at her to be nice. After 15 minutes or so, my sister was playing on the swings because she got scared and she didn't want to ride the bicycle anymore. I looked away for a second to say hello to my uncle since he lives close to us and he was passing by. And when I turned back around

to check on my sister, I saw that she was crying and the lady's sons were using my sister's bike. I approached the kids and politely asked them to please leave the bike alone and use theirs. To be clear, the three kids had brought their own bikes. They ignored me and continued to play with the bike. I went up to the lady to ask her if she could talk to her sons and she responded with, my kids are having fun and years isn't using the bikes, so I don't see a problem. I then responded with, I'm aware that she isn't using it, but it's her bike and your kids have their bikes, so I don't see a reason for them to use hers.

She then started going on about how I have no reason to talk to her like that if I was going around getting girls pregnant, insinuating that my sister was my daughter. At this point, I was pissed and I didn't want to deal with this lady, so I angrily said, Lady, she's my sister, and I believe I have the right to talk considering I'm not being a little b****. So I'm gonna ask again, are you gonna tell your little rats to get off my sister's bike or not? She then got up and told her kids to get to the car. Later when I got home, I told my mom about it thinking she would see it as a funny story,

but boy was I wrong. She started going on about how I was rude to that lady and that I need to learn to respect my elders. Am I the butthole? Nah, OP, I'm on your side on this one. You acted completely reasonable, you were polite, and after all, the bike is your property, not her and her kids' property. I don't even see the logical reason why they would need to play on a girl's bike when the boys have their own bike. So in my opinion, escalating the situation seems completely reasonable.

OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. The lady at the park and her kids get 2 out of 5 buttholes. Your mom gets 1 out of 5 buttholes.
