My mother died of cancer when I was seven. At that time, my father was no one.
Starting point is 00:00:30 to be found. He'd left my mother when I was less than one year old. I grew up with my mom and older brother. When my mom died, my brother became my guardian. He took good care of me and always made me feel safe and comfortable. He's been mother and father and brother for me at the same time. Two years ago, my father came back and asked to be part of our lives again. I'm currently 16. He said that he changed and wants to make things right. He initially used to come around once a week for a few hours, and it was nice. However, recently, in the past two months, he's acting creepy, which makes me uncomfortable. He texts me about my looks all the time. Tells me I look like a complete woman now. It makes me feel weird. Last week, he asked about my sex life, which I am not comfortable
Starting point is 00:01:18 talking to him about. He asked me if I watch adult videos, and if I do, what positions I like. I mean, this is creepy, right? I don't like it. My brother talked. to me about intercourse, but it was about safety and consent and things like that. Never these details that my father asks. I want him to stop these things, and that's all he talks about. Honestly, I want him to stay away from me. I don't like him. He gives me bad vibes. I know he's my father, but I don't see him as family. He's just another person to me, a creepy person who makes me uncomfortable. Should I tell my brother about these things and ask him to keep my father away? My dad has a good relationship with my brother. They've become close in recent months. Then three days later, O. P. Posted an update. I told my brother everything and showed him all the texts, as almost all of you told me to do so. He was shocked. For a few minutes, I couldn't say what he was thinking, but after that he told me that I should have told him sooner, and that he would make sure our father never bothers us again. For a moment, I thought that he was upset at me, but he was really furious.
Starting point is 00:02:26 at our father. He asked our father to come over, and he told me to remain in my room until he left. They ended up having a big fight, and they were loud, which I could hear. My father was yelling that a parent has a right to raise his daughter as he sees fit. But my brother told him that my dad doesn't even know how to spell the word parent. My dad eventually left. He sent me a text that, Your brother is way over his head. Don't choose him over your own father. I replied, with my brother's permission, I'll choose him over a thousand sperm donors like you. I don't want to see you ever again, and then I blocked his number. I'm very happy that my brother did this.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I feel much better and safe for now. He's always made me feel safe. When he has his own kids, I'm sure he'll be the most amazing father in the world as he's been one for me. He said that he'll also inform the police and school, and if my father tries anything, I should tell him immediately to maybe look for some legal way to keep him away. I just hope that my sperm donor of a father stays away from us forever. Super gross, disgusting story. As unlucky as O.P. is to have such a terrible father, she's even luckier to have such an amazing brother. Our next Reddit post is from R slash relationships. I am a writer, a serious writer
Starting point is 00:03:47 who's got her first book published and a few poems that made its way into the local paper. I make a living out of it. I also have a very secret blog that I used to publish. fan fiction under a pseudonym. I know that when we mention fan fiction, the first thing that comes to mind is that I'm an obsessed fan girl who writes countless OCs and all of them are in love with an alter ego of myself and blah, blah. No, I just really like exploring my favorite characters and the universe they live in. If I'm reading a book, playing a game, watching a movie, I sometimes think, what if, and I write it out. It's been my secret for a long while now. Well, it used to be. My boyfriend found my blog when I forgot to clear out my history on my laptop.
Starting point is 00:04:30 He's been mocking me for it. I'm not fragile. I can take mocking every now and then if I know that it's not really malicious. My boyfriend, on the other hand, keeps laughing and making jokes about me being a Tumblr girl, about me wanting to be with those characters and so on. It's to the point that he's read a few and started nitpicking and making fun of some of it. I talked to him, and he dismissed me. I finally snapped yesterday when he came over and I was writing, again for the local paper.
Starting point is 00:04:59 He said, Writing your weird smut fanfiction, fan girl? He meant it as a joke. He laughed, but I was already so cranky that I told him to leave. He looked at me puzzled and said that he was kidding, but I kicked him out. English is not my native language. I started learning English when I was nine years old, because there was no one to read or write fan fictions of a particular fandom that I was into in my native
Starting point is 00:05:23 language. Because of that, I learned English, and it saved my life when I needed a job but was inexperienced in a lot of things. But man, I could speak and write English fluently, and all of that is thanks to writing fan fiction. It means a lot to me, and I'm not hurt that most people think it's silly and make fun of fan fiction writers. I'm hurt because the boy I love is being horrible about it, and I'm this close to breaking up. I don't deserve to be mocked for something I like, especially when I don't judge him with the stuff that he likes. He wants to come over, but he doesn't think he's wrong, and he doesn't see how his behavior is hurting me.
Starting point is 00:06:00 What do I do? I learned a long time ago not to be ashamed of doing something that brings me joy, especially when times are hard enough already. But it hurts so much that my boyfriend thinks I'm a loser, and I don't know what to do. I'm starting to see him differently. Then, four days later, Opie posted an update. He and I have teased each other before.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I teased my best friend, and she teases me back. Stupid trash teasing. I still have some of my earliest fictions in English, and my grammar was awful, really awful, with sentences like, and he tried to think not about her. She throws that sentence back at me all the time, and it's always in good heart. It's always in a, oh God, look at the stuff you used to write, and look at you now. That is not what happened with my significant other and I.
Starting point is 00:06:45 He went out of his way to make me feel uncomfortable and hurt. That's why I came here for help, because someone I love was being cruel out of nowhere. And so, for the sake of this update, I need you guys to keep in mind that I'm in no way ashamed of writing fictions, and that my S.O's behavior was more than strange and cruel. He's never acted that way before, so I met him the day after so we could talk. He was pissed because I kicked him out. I was pissed because of his behavior. We went home, and I just straight up asked why my fics bothered him this much. He kept saying they didn't. that he was just having fun and all, and I explained to him how he made me feel.
Starting point is 00:07:23 He snorted. I told him that if he wasn't going to take this seriously, then he could leave again and not come back. After a while and a brief discussion about him being incredulous that I was so upset over nothing, he finally told me the real reason behind his actions, that he doesn't feel comfortable with me writing love-making scenes. This came out of nowhere, and even when this issue was discussed here, I was like, nah, he would never have a problem with it. He even praised one such scene in my book. Well, I asked him exactly that. Why did you praise that scene in my book? Why did he encourage me to write more of it? He said that he hadn't stopped to think about the consequences, that when I wrote it in my book, he didn't know or see how many people enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:08:08 But when he read the ones in my blog, he could see how many people reblogged it, he could see the comments, he could see everything, and it bothered him because I was his girlfriend. Okay, I asked him what he meant by that, and he said that I was putting myself out there by writing this stuff. I held back the urge to snap and calmly asked him again, what the hell he meant by that? He said he knew how guys think, and that they were seeing how easy I was, and I'd soon be getting stalkers because, and I quote, You like sex like a slut. Isn't that lovely?
Starting point is 00:08:43 He quickly tried to backtrack to tell me that he didn't mean it like that. He meant that I write detailed and explicit scenes, and that might give people the wrong idea. I asked him if I gave him the wrong idea when we have intercourse, and he just shut up. I think he realized how much of an idiot he was because he started apologizing. I just ended it. I ended it and changed my blog's URL. He's been calling and calling and calling, texting me. nonstop that he's sorry, but I can't look at him the same way. Even if I ever forgive him,
Starting point is 00:09:14 just no. I like intercourse, so that makes me a slut, but that's not a problem when I'm doing it with him. I'm just heartbroken over this, because I don't know, this came out of nowhere. Before breaking up, he said everything would be okay if I just never wrote about intercourse. I mean, really? No, I like it, I like writing about that. I like writing fix. I like it. It pays my bills. So, screw that. But in his mind, if I just stopped writing kinky love scenes, then he wouldn't feel insecure and wouldn't lash out like this. I'm glad it came out, though, this side of him. Still, it's just so freaking sad. O.P. Story reminds me, uh, apparently the longest fan fiction of all time.
Starting point is 00:09:58 I had to look it up. It's called, it's a Super Smash Bros fan fiction. It's called Super Smash Bros. Under Fire, the Great Adventure Saga. Oh, no, looking it up, it's the second longest. 4 million words. Anyways, the reason why I bring that up is because the reason why that person started writing a Super Smash Bros fan fiction was to practice his English. Hmm, looks like the longest fan fiction is 16 million words. It's called The Loud House. And it features a self-insert character who has a harem of female characters from universes such as Naruto and Jojo's Bazaar Adventure. Her next Reddit post is from R-slash nanny. I'm a full-time nanny for a stay-at-home mom with
Starting point is 00:10:39 an eight-month-old baby. The baby is honestly perfect, so sweet and happy, and naps great. I've been with the family for about seven months now. The mom and dad are both amazing employers. They're super nice to me. The mom gets me Starbucks and Asai bowls, even makes me lunch sometimes. I make 32 bucks an hour with great benefits in a medium cost of living area, so overall, this is a dream job. Here's my only issue. I'm pretty sure the parents are having passionate hugging sessions during the dad's lunch break, maybe every day or every other day. They go to their room, and I never see anything inappropriate, but sometimes I hear what I think might be the bed moving. It's not loud or anything, just enough to make me realize what's going on. Afterwards, her hair is messy,
Starting point is 00:11:27 clothes changed, that kind of thing. Today, I asked the mom what she was up to when she came out of the room and she didn't really say much. I kind of jokingly said, oh, were you napping? And she got a little red and awkward. That pretty much confirmed it for me. I know they're married adults and it's their house, but it still makes me feel a little uncomfortable since I'm there taking care of their baby. They're not being disrespectful or obvious, but it just feels weird. Would it be totally out of line to ask them not to do that while I'm working? Or am I overreacting and should just let it? it go. They really are such a great family, and I don't want to make things awkward if this is just me being overly sensitive. What would you do? Uh, I don't know what O.P.'s issue is. They're
Starting point is 00:12:13 quietly screwing in their own house behind closed doors. In the comment, yeah, okay, everyone agrees in the comments. People are calling out O.P. And O.P. responds, but I'm working. You don't think it's disrespectful to F word while someone's taking care of your kids under your roof? It's making me uncomfortable. They both go in the bedroom and come out mess. see hair and smiley. It makes me feel weird. Then in another reply, it's very awkward. They both come down smiley and happy and in a good mood. Like guys, I know what you just did. You just did it. And someone says, then quit. And Opie says, this is a super good paying job. The parents are beyond nice. This is the only flaw. I still think maybe I should mention it and maybe they'll
Starting point is 00:12:58 stop screwing during my workday. Wow, Opie is kind of a prude here. More comments from OP. It's weird because like she's giddy after doing it. A mood shifter. Happy. It's odd. Like it puts even more in my face, oh, I got laid. I think it's weird for adults to be doing it every day or every other day. There's other ways to support a relationship. For context, OP is 28. Then a few days later, O.P. posted an update. That Friday morning, I told my employer that I wanted to talk during the baby's nap, and she said, okay. I brought up how uncomfortable I felt about what I thought was going on, and I mentioned how I could sometimes hear or notice things that made me think they were doing it while I was there. I told her it made me uncomfortable, and that's when everything went downhill. She was very direct with me.
Starting point is 00:13:49 She said that my only job was to take care of the baby, not to worry about what she and her husband were doing. She told me that if I had downtime, I could watch TV or read a book. I told her it just seemed weird that she would come out with messy hair or different clothes, and she explains that sometimes they do workout videos in the room, sometimes it's intercourse, sometimes cuddling, sometimes it's just her napping. She said that whatever happens in her bedroom is none of my business. After that, things got really quiet. She would, wasn't mean, but I could tell she was uncomfortable and hurt. Then she told me I could go home for the day, and I just knew that meant that I was done. Later, she texted saying that they were going to move
Starting point is 00:14:31 in another direction, and that was it. I feel horrible. I know I crossed a boundary, and I regret bringing it up so much. I miss them terribly. The money was amazing. My boss was so kind, and their baby was absolutely perfect. I really wish I could fix this and somehow get my job back. my job back. Then another update. I sent a text message to my boss on Sunday morning and she responded this morning saying she forgives me and that she hopes I take this as a learning experience, but they will not hire me back. I miss her so much. She said she talked to her husband about everything and they decided to give me a month's pay until I find a new job. I honestly didn't expect that. It was really kind of them even after everything that happened. I missed my unicorn family so much. I was
Starting point is 00:15:19 completely in the wrong, and I take full responsibility for that. I know I hurt people who trusted me, and that's something I have to live with and learn from. I will... What? I will not be filing any sexual harassment report. Huh? What sexual harassment? The people who were telling me to do that were not giving me good advice, and I'll be keeping my distance from them from now on. I miss my nanny baby so much. I can't believe I won't be going back. It breaks my heart because they were such a big part of my life. I keep replaying everything in my head and wondering if there's anything I could say or do to make things right. I know trust, once broken, is hard to fix, but I wish I could show them how much I've grown and how truly sorry I am. I'm trying to find
Starting point is 00:16:02 a new job now, and honestly, everyone's been so rude. It's been really hard. I can't believe my old employer still paid me $5,200 after letting me go. That was so generous of them. I really didn't deserve it after everything that happened. To be honest, maybe part of the problem was that I was a little jealous of her. She's a stay-at-home mom, beautiful, only 28, rich, has this gorgeous home, and her and her husband are truly happy. She's such a good mom, and it just felt like she had this perfect life, her dream life, and I'm the same age, and I think that made me feel small in ways that I didn't even realize at the time. I hate admitting that, but it's true. Learn from my mistakes, guys. Don't leave a good family. Let everything go. Don't let jealousy or pride get in the way of
Starting point is 00:16:52 something real. Some things just aren't worth losing the people who truly care about you. Appreciate what you have before it's gone. O.P., I would like to feel sympathy for you, but I'm having difficulty getting past just how stupid you are. You got upset over the most normal, inoffensive thing possible, and then every single person on the internet was like, girl, don't do it. And then you did it and got fired. 32 bucks an hour. Also, OP says full-time nanny, which might mean
Starting point is 00:17:24 that she lives there as well. It's not exactly clear. But if she lives there, that also means she doesn't have to pay rent or utilities. So it's 100% pure profit, zero expenses. That's like a dream job for a lot of people. And she threw it away because the parents were secretly
Starting point is 00:17:40 screwing. Girl, how do you think they made the baby in the first place. That was our slash best of Redditor updates. And if you like this content, be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new Reddit podcast episodes every single day.
