Story 2: People have been attacking a different person dating a Dabi cosplayer thinking its OP. Guys, DONT ATTACK RANDOM PEOPLE WITHOUT KNOWING FOR SURE IF ITS THEM
Even if it is OP, still don’t attack them!
Amen!
Or yknow at all?
I agree with this too. Even if it is op and we know he's the ah. He will understand by the amount of people that tell him on reddit. We don't need to try to find him and attack him.
@@guitarbass22 only place you should "attack" op is in the post, just tell them how and why they're wrong
Garden Hose: Yo, all jokes aside, that kid needs a friend and it seems like you're in a good position to offer him some sort of guidance.
This is what I was thinking. I think the kid was enjoying the male adult figure spending time, talking, and listening to him. But also at the same time having fun.
I’m glad this is how the story turned out. Wife needs to chill
Sounds like they've become full-on frenemies to me.
.....and a cooling shower! 😂❤
@@lorilancaster5917 LMAO the wife is prob embarrassed i dont blame her 😂
That story with the kid being sprayed with the hose could definitely become a movie. I’m just picturing the kid being valedictorian at his high school thanking the crazy neighbour for spraying him with the hose and having great chats with him. 😂
3 words: Dennis the Menace
Great idea! I would totally watch that movie.
@@undrhilSaint Vincent
Definitely feels like the kid was looking for adult attention. He may not be getting attention at home so started off on the path of "any attention, even negative attention, is good". Now, he gets to cool off after soccer (what kid doesn't like to play with the hose when hot?) AND gets to have an adult show interest in him and what he has to say for 15 to 20 minutes. The fact they talk now tells me there is more going on.
Definitely NTA.
@jurgenvonjessica4656 you may be onto something here. Parents who actually pay attention to their kid, wouldn't just allow some rando to hose their kid down on the daily.
Story 1 : The way she has the audacity to both say "You should like your step daughters more if you want to stay with me !" and "I don't see why I should care for a kid that isn't mine" without seeing the hypocrisy in her words in baffeling.
She's so immature and deserves no husband or anyone that loves her.
Probably because in her brain it's different if you're a mother or a father. We all know men feel less affection in general, right? (yes, I'm sarcastic)
Narcissism, logic works in whatever way makes you right
It's almost like my stepmother, the difference is to her family is her, my father, and my half-brother; while my sister and I didn't get included even when we lived with my father and her.
She should know that marrying a person with children, children is part of the package.
Meanwhile, her don't have a good relationship with her own family 🤔
@@giuliaorati4724 i was about to ask if you was being sarcastic before reading the end because i'm one of those guys who was raised to enable my emotions not hide them like other parents sadly do
It's the son's birthday. He's the one who gets to choose. When it's the stepdaughters' birthday, they get to choose. Simple as that. Anything different is favoritism one way or another.
And yes, OP totally did the right thing. Erica is just as monstrous as OP's stepfather.
She made it clear that she expected OP to love her daughters like his own but she can treat his son not like hers? What twisted logic does she have other than she’s a hypocrite and possibly a narcissist?
Ditch the stupid erica heal the son
@@lorilancaster5917 Well, now she can dote on her dear children as much as she wants. I pity the poor man whoever gets wrapped up with that she-beast.
Agreed you can tell Erica didn't want to take care of ops son and it's sad how she treated him
@@sarahsimpson9937 I also agree Erica is a horrible evil stepmother especially forcing Op’s son Issac to babysitting her stupid twin girls and basically making him relive Op’s childhood trauma through his own son! I’m glad Op is getting a divorce from this evil woman
The idea of these two having a 15 minute conversation while getting hosed in the face the entire time is pretty hilarious
It really is. It’s funny and adorable and honestly heart warming. 😂
It does benefit them both. Op get to hose a kid and the kid get a cool bath
PPD is no excuse to treat people like shit. And I personally don’t care if she was suffering PPD, she needed that reality check.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves is when people treat others poorly and then use the excuse will I don't feel well, or in this case PPD. There is never an excuse to treat someone poorly for no reason.
I agree wholeheartedly. Not only that, but the rest of the family that defended her "just because she was suffering from PDD" need a slap in the face as well.
I had a coworker who would treat me like shit and be highly judgmental of me. Than he would blame it on his mental issues. I warned him multiple times to knock it off and to treat me and others with respect. He refused to listen so eventually when I had enough I got him fired.
@@Xolivas1 Doesn't seem like the stood up for the sister that much.

The garden hose story is the best story this year. I started laughing so hard when he said they started to chit chat
I've heard that story several times on diff channels and it makes me laugh just hearing the title now. It's suchma wholesome story of a kid finding a good parental figure and a safe adult to talk to. He clearly lacks il a male role model, or other shit going on at home and needs a positive figure like OP
I coulda sworn I've heard it on here before
He should thank the kid for the aeration of his lawn, it's actually good for it, lol
When I was a preteen in the late '70's, yeah, I'm that old. Anyway, I played pee-wee football, and with us living in Southern California, practice was hot. Where we lived, next door to us was an elderly widow (mid 60's), and she'd stand outside with her lawn sprinkler aimed at the sidewalk out front. She'd also have like a dozen gallon pitchers of tea or lemonade and cookies too. So when we'd finish practice, the entire team would walk to her house, play in the sprinklers, with cold drinks and cookies for a snack. All the kids enjoyed this until she passed away in 1990. That lady was the loving grandma for the young boys whose parents were in the military, whose real family was usually many states away. When she passed, her family was floored when over 500 former pee-wee footballers showed up to say goodbye. To Mrs Conchita Morales, we still love and miss you.
Just wanted to add some context, we all lived in base housing on NAS Miramar. Yes, the base where Top Gun was made. It's huge, and back then, it had its own schools on base. Her son was a fighter pilot, but was stationed temporarily overseas. Her grand daughter and grandson were 6 and 9, and they were like our little brother and sister. We loved the sprinklers after a hot sweaty practice, along with the cold drinks and cookies. Her grandkids were always included and protected by all of us because back then, there was a lot more racism towards Mexicans like myself. Arturo, Artie to us kids, was one of my best friends even though I was three years older. I also was his little sister, Elizia, I was her prom date since I was assigned there for temporary duty when I was in the Navy in 1986. I talked with Ma'ma about why she always treated us kids as if we were hers. She said we were hers, and she knew that our parent(s) being in the military a long way from family, that it was her duty to care for all of us as she hoped other grandmothers would if it were her grandkids. I had never took my Catholic heritage to mean much being half Mexican myself, until I met her. She taught me so much about God, relationships, and about life. That's why we all loved her, because she cared, for all of us kids, not just hers. Now, people deal with so much hate, and distrust, I know, I'm one of them, so that's one reason I miss her. She always told us kids till the day she died; to work hard, and play hard. To treat others with kindness, even when you know they don't do the same. To always give to help others and expect nothing back from them. To always respect yourself, and never let anyone's words make you doubt yourself. Most of all keep your family and true friends close because one day you will need them.
Her grandson John Lee, he's still a dear, close friend, more like a brother, and we talk almost once a week. Eliza and John are my twins Godparents, and I'm theirs. Sadly, I'm a widower, but their kids call me Uncle. This woman was just a wonderful person with a pure heart, and she left a legacy for hundreds of kids.
Story 5: Well, Sarah poked a bear, and OP unsurprisingly snapped and threw it back. I don't think Postpartum fully explains why Sarah was being so mean and calling OP an embarrassment, sounds like she just wanted to bully OP a bit
Sarah probably envies OP so she insults her to soothe her own insecurities.
I'm betting that Sarah was hitting the happy juice.
i dont think sarah was the sister tho, she said she was a cousin
But oh my god Op's comeback. Very spicy.
Yeah Sarah totally deserved it
I am a firm believer in going for the jugular. You come at me, I'll send you to therapy.
That stepmother is such a classic narcissist. So glad the husband is getting his son out of there.
Don't pathologize being an asshole. An asshole is an asshole.
She's like the evil stepmother out of Disney.
She said "Why would I care about a kid that isn't mine."
Pretty sure everyone did a double take. This b*tch actually said it.
I hope he takes her to the cleaners
@@lorilancaster5917who are the cleaners?
The cosplay story made me think of a double standard that just makes no sense. Usually women are told to cover up their breasts for modesty, but apparently a woman with a double mastectomy is ok. But then, of you wanna demonstrate proper breast cancer screening, you can demo it on a fat man with big boobs online without censorship, but not a woman with her own boobs. It just makes no sense.
Sadly the cosplay community is equally supportive as it is toxic as heck. Cosplay is for literally everyone no mater what age, gender, disability, race etc. People who are like OP are sickening and a reason some cosplayers retire certain cosplay, I put some of mine on hold for this reason, other times it is just nah this character is not interesting. I get really upset when people treat those that survive stuff like cancer, have either visible or invisible disabilities like crap.
// People like that OP are the total reason I got out of professional cosplay. Toxic fans and sexist creeps that have double-standards with only their interests in mind.
OP said his gf isn't into anime, but if she's cosplaying a very specific look Dabi has and not his iconic look then I feel it means she's pretty into anime (even though I don't think that look has even been animated yet, so she likes the series that much that she has read the manga). Also if she's cosplaying an anime character I think it means she likes anime. I think OP is one of those guys who quizzes girls on a topic their interested in to prove their actually a fan in that thing.
@Just a Sentient Mclaren P1
Na you can completely be into certain designs without being interested in a genre, anime itself, characters, show or such. There are some character and art designs even I like but I would never watch those shows, or say that I am into a kind of game, genre or so forth. American-style comics are an example. I absolutely dislike and don't read them but I've cosplayed a couple characters based off art either done by someone specific or something I designed that isn't an official/released at the time work.
Now that isn't to rule out that the girlfriend is not admitting to liking stuff (such as anime) to said boyfriend because said boyfriend would critisize them or the stuff that guy likes is......really skewed into things that are pretty gross and down the incel hallway of obsession; thus making her uncomfortable and not wanting to even broach the topic with them in the event that the guy goes on skewed conversations/topics that she doesn't want to really be involved with.
We just don't know. However, people that work in an industry (graphics, game design, special effects and makeup) can have talent/do work across many genres but don't necessarily like those things. Someone can be good at horror design but not be into horror movies. This can be one of those cases where an aesthetic taste matched a character design that they liked and fit for them but they don't need to like/watch anime to want to cosplay it.
Yeah that's what I was a little lost on. I was sitting here thinking the post itself was him being embarrassed about her being shirtless rather than her scars. I wouldn't mind the scars, I'd rather care that my gf was shirtless in front of other people lol. Sounds like the cosplay was super cool tho.
The garden hose story was wholesome in the funniest way possible, real "modern problems require modern solutions" type deal on the kid's end
I used to do marching band, so lots of time on a grass feild (or pavement depending on where at our school was free for us to reherse.) In the sun, and i can confirm that the kid is likely having the absolute best time getting hosed down.
I love both OP and the kid in this story. I started laughing even though I tried to take the story seriously.
Regarding the kid with the hose, I wonder how much (or little) attention he gets at home. It sounds like this little interaction between him and OP started out as a call for attention that OP unwittingly answered. Honestly, as long as the kid is okay with it and he's not getting hurt, it sounds like the beginning of a somewhat positive relationship. Wonder what'll happen if the parents find out.
I have a theory that the kid may not get a lot of attention at home and OP was the first person that gave him attention.
To come home fully wet after sports, i feel parents probably notice he must go do something but not care what, I'm glad op and hose kid have started to bond in their little way
Unless the kid is lying and saying he hoses himself down outside, I'm confused why the parents haven't AT LEAST come to see OP and talk to him.
Story 1: So I don't know if this is the definition of projecting, but Erica literally playing favorites while accusing OP of doing the same is pretty foul.
How cold of her, I hope she never marries again so everyone else can be spared from her abuse
It is the definition of projection.
What is projecting exactly?
"How dare you not love my kids as your own while I could never do the same to your kid!"
@@Luna_tech2 projecting is when you have an issue with something, you accuse others of having that issue instead :)
OP never said what happened to her ex, so I assume he dumped her for being the piece of garbage person that she is.
Story 2: Not only do you have a supportive girlfriend who’s willing to go to a convention with you even though she doesn’t know much about it, she’s also a cosplay master. And OP’s getting mad at her because shes flashing her scar? Also, because of what OP said about the rest of the fake scars looking real, most people probably thought it was just apart of the cosplay. YTA
He's upset it wasn't a sexy cosplay and instead technically a crossplay
It sounds like OP's not comfortable with her going shirtless in public, which is perfectly normal. Mastectomy or not, I wouldn't stay with a girl that didn't respect my opinion on that. He should have expressed his concern *before* the convention though.
@@seekeroftruth6728 He could've expressed that yes, but it isn't his body being displayed, that's the main reason he's TA
You all boiling, she should warm him that she was gonna go topless, yea she has no dutty to do nothing that she don't want but that's not how relationships work, You need communication and be tacteful, things You are okay with and You know may be sensitive to your partner, are things You need to talk first, some people don't like their partners showing underwear in public, some people are not okay with their partners showing their genitalia in public, en yea You may not care for what your partners thinks about your desitions but then what's the sensed to have a partner if You don't care.
Has he any right over her? No. But if she wants the Freedom to be single, she can be single, is he an asshole? Maybe, but he didn't say nothing, she asked and he answered it, yea he should be more tacteful too but if You are not ready to the listen what your partners thinks, then don't ask them.
The fact that he felt like he needed to state "It wasn't attractive" speaks volumes about what he actually feels despite trying to word the rest of the post in his favor. I am a woman cosplayer and there is definitely this huge expectation some guys have that we all dress as the cutest, sexiest, sluttiest girls from popular anime for "attention". As well as a stereotype that we're sex freaks. Neck beards will complain about these "fake fans" right up until they see someone like me or that girlfriend. Then they blow a whole new gasket, complaining about why we're cosplaying males or a character not meant to be hot. He was probably hoping she was cosplaying a character like Midnight so that he could tote her around the convention like a trophy. Having her instead doing a cross dressing cosplay of a badly scarred villain complete with proudly showing her mastectomy dashed his "sexy cosplay girlfriend" fantasy and "embarrassed" him as a result.
As a cosplay model and maker, I emphasize that cosplay is for EVERYONE. My hubby goes to cons with me because it makes me happy. He encourages me that I should love myself as I am and encourages me to enjoy cosplaying whoever I want.
There's characters he doesn't like to cosplay, but does so because he knows it means a lot. And makes me happy.
YTA BECAUSE YOU DISCOURAGED YOUR GF FOR HOW SHE LOOKED!!! Don't be surprised if you get dumped and known to the cosplay community as misogynistic and rude.
It seems that you don't know the definition of misogyny. Because nothing that happened in that story was misogynistic. He simply expressed a discomfort with her actions. She's 100% free to ignore his boundaries, and he's entirely free to not want a woman that does that.
@@seekeroftruth6728 It’s subtle but there the misogyny is there, even if OP doesn’t seem to realize it. OP seems to think that women with mastectomies should be ashamed of their bodies because they don’t have breasts. In reality; no one, regardless of gender, should be ashamed of their bodies, especially after surviving something as crazy as cancer. Sorry I’m not trying to be mean, but trying to explain. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Preach!
OP's gf sounds like a catch and OP is throwing that catch away because he's probably misogynistic. He's definitely rude, though.
@@your_local_questerian When a woman has standards, nobody calls her a misandrist. 🤔
The last story: Parents who let their kids run amok in places where hot food is being carried around are neglectful parents.
I remember helping cool a burn that a child recieved after having spaghetti spill on her. And she was sitting quietly at the table.
The parent sounds line an entitled butthole that needs to learn that no one wants to deal with their brats.
Yes! Those parents deserve a MUCH higher score.
Could easily end with someone accidentally dropping a piping hot pizza on a toddler. Those parents are stupid and I hope those kids somehow grow to be smarter than them.
Story 4: only people that's feel inferior to someone would care that much over them knowing to do one very small thing. She was the one who said something about not having a BF and children not you, and if you bring up someone's life you open the floor to them talking about your life. She's obviously jealous of you and felt like this stupid chopstick thing was a win for her, and it wasn't enough so she had to make you feel small to feel. Your comeback was perfect and I wouldn't apologize if she's not going to apologize for all the terrible stuff she said to you.
Yea the cousin clearly has a inferiority complex, but also probably a lot of stress with the new baby and badly behaved kids and the Ex.
OP is still fully in the right.
Wich is why the family defending the cousin is MUCH MUCH MUCH WORST then The Cousin, since they allow this behaviour. The Cousin needs therapy ASAP, but insted they let her get away with bad behaviour.... wich will make the cousin develop bad behaviours during her stress periods and make her a bully.
I also don't think the cousin is actually jealous of OP, that would have come out way before.. i think she just saw a dumb flaw and went with it since it made her feel superior.
As the family points out the cousin is under stress.. and trust me when I say.. The Cousin was stress relieving in the wrong way. The family should have NOT allowed it and told her off and tell OP: "Sorry she's under a lot of stress"
The family is litterly the biggest at fault.
And I know this out of the subject but in Japanese culture it’s actually acceptable to actually use your hands to eat sushi
Story 5 update Thank you all for the overwhelming responses! I’ve been wanting to put Sarah in her place for a while now - and I’m glad I did! However, Sarah’s Mom got involved and is mad at me.
Apparently, MJ told Sarah that him and his wife were separating. Sarah found out that he lied because she was secretly stalking his wife’s Facebook page - and got the shock of her life when wifey posted a newborn baby and MJ was there for the birth.
Sarah did the math and realized that he got both of them pregnant the week of his birthday. She confronted him and he confirmed it. He also said that she’ll have to get over it or he’ll leave. So, she stayed and is now constantly in shambles. Not my problem.
Now onto the problem. She kept the wife’s baby a secret and only told her mom, who told my mom, who told my sister and I. So, they said that they were pissed because I wasn’t supposed to repeat it.
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. After like a week, that’s all everyone talked about.
Sarah’s mom (my aunt) reached out to me this morning and she said that Sarah’s problem with me is that I always said I don’t like kids and only a “horrible person” won’t like kids - and that I was mean to her about her kids 2 months ago.
2 months ago she wanted to go to a party with MJ and asked me to watch her kids. ALL THREE OF THEM. FOR FREE. I told her no because they’re untrained, I don’t feel comfortable watching a newborn - and she’ll have to pay me to put up with the other two.
So, I guess that’s why she’s still holding grudges.
Regardless, Sarah’s mom said she was having a really hard time after finding out about the “outside” baby (who technically is the inside baby as Sarah’s baby is the outside baby but whatever) and she wants me to apologize for putting her business out there for everyone.
She got my mom and sister involved so I just called Sarah and apologized. She just said “I don’t care what you have to say” and hung up.
Regardless. I held up my end of the bargain. Hopefully this gets blown over soon because ya girl is TIRED.
Ah yes, the perfect way to keep secret information secret: tell everyone you know. That could never backfire. 🙃
Thanks for the update.
I feel so bad for you! I hope you're doing well and not Sarah-
(I want to say jk for the last part but a part of me doesn't want to.)
You don’t need to apologize. I’d tell her don’t dish what you can’t eat. Imagine being nasty over someone not use to chopsticks. It’s really not that big of a deal. That’s why they have training wheels. She needs to figure her life out. I’d stay LC with her.
Damnnn!!! I don’t care if she’s going through PPD that doesn’t excuse the cousin from being a bitch and escalating the situation further without Op saying anything! She got burned
Damn they really made OP apologize ? I would've revolted.
"I'm really sorry.. that you had your baby with a married man." *click*
Story 5: I believe this was described to me once as 'killing someone with a thousand little cuts while they respond with a claymore to the face'. A lot of small hurts people might respond to very mildly each time but that combined hurt being tossed back all at once shocks people into a harsh reaction despite it coming from the victim of much worse, extended pain.
Very classic reaction too, people get so used to the aggressor being an ass they normalize it, and when the victim has enough they direct their outrage to them instead of the instigator
This - good analogy to describe it too.
Whenever I see someone who unexpectedly* 'over' reacts to someone else's barb, I always wonder what else the barb-maker has been doing to the reacting person.
Bullies poke, and poke, and poke (and enablers enable, and enable, and enable) until the target has finally had enough and responds by blowing up at the bully. The bully then says 'see, that person is unreasonable and being terrible to me!' Too often, everyone around the situation then demonizes the victim in favour of the bully. So, I'm often the one saying 'well, of course that person blew up. It's unreasonable to think they wouldn't after everything bully has been doing'...
--
*People who are generally even tempered who suddenly explode angrily at the other person, as opposed to people who just flip out at the smallest slights and perceived slights.
Fair analogy, although these were not small cuts, Sarah went for the jugular, and OP brought a gun.
*First OP:* It's Isaac's birthday. If he wants to spend it at the arcade with his friends, then OP should honor that. I bet OP's wife wouldn't celebrate her daughters' birthday at the arcade "as a family"; she'd celebrate at the playpen thingy. That comment she made about OP's step-parenting was a low blow. OP WNBTA.
*First OP UPDATE:* I'm shocked, but also not that shocked by that plot twist. Shoutouts to the replies for suggesting OP talk to his son about Erica, and Shoutout to OP for listening to his son. Erica sounds like those single parents who believe "I should be top priority over your kid(s), and my kid(s) get top priority over you. OP's statement about not deserving his son's forgiveness broke my heart. I hope things work out for OP and Isaac (and the twins).
*Second OP:* As OP's girlfriend said, she's making the best out of the situation. Her cosplay sounds like it was well-made. OP is TA.
*Third OP:* I didn't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't _that._ OP and the soccer kid have a good thing; why ruin it? OP is NTA, and his wife needs to sit down somewhere, lol
*Fourth OP:* Now _that's_ what I call a READ! Something tells me OP's been told to "be the bigger person" a lot, and she finally snapped. OP is NTA. All that over some chopsticks, smh.
*Fifth OP:* I don't see the problem here. The kid invaded OP's and Jack's personal space, and OP told them not to. OP is NTA. Watch your dang kids, people!
This story is proof that single parents ought to remain single until all the kids are moved out and secure enough in their lives that they no longer need financial aid, advice, housing, food, childcare, or anything else from the parent.
@@agentzapdos4960 I wouldn’t go that far, but parents should definitely be very cautious when dating. No matter how much you love your partner, your kid always has to be your top priority.
S2: Nah, op isn't the AH. I wouldn't want my gf cosplaying around shirtless tbh. That's a simple ask imo. Don't show your tits
Story1; the hag used ops son as free babysitter and gone for hours because she doesn’t want to parent and most likely she was having a affair on top of it
Oooh!!! I didn’t think about that! I wonder if on top of everything else she was a SAHM?
@@lorilancaster5917 She’s not a SAHM. OP said in his update that Erica went to work and to drop off her daughters at school. But it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if she had a side piece.
@@kristashafer93098 I looked back and noticed that. I guess Erica wasn’t the trifecta of the horrible stepmother. But she still isn’t a good person
Can we point out that it's a 12yo babysitting two 7yo too? His son's not even a teen yet and shouldn't be babysitting anyone really
@@WolfgangDoW He was actually 14, but you're absolutely right. He's too young to be babysitting.
Story 4: I can relate to this story, I have an older sister who started popping out kids at 17. She used to ask me ALL THE TIME when I would have kids, I would always say "when I'm ready", the real reason I waited until I was 30 before I had kids was because I wanted to make sure I owned a house and had visited at least one other country before I had kids, as I did not want to be in and out of rentals and public housing with 5 kids to 3 different guys (or girls in my case).
Very smart.
Yeah, I'm sure the wife there in that story totally "prioritizes family over friends" when its her kid's birthday.
The 4th OP was lucky that management didn’t call the police because she would’ve been arrested for arson
It was a rather sick burn. Kudos to her.
Lol
The second story, as soon as OP explained the cancer, I knew he WTA. I had a feeling something like that story was gonna come out, definitely TA.
OP’s comeback in the chopsticks story had me fucking howling, good lord!
Nah but seriously, OP is NTA in that situation. As the age old adage goes, “don’t start none, won’t be none.”
Fr
The chopsticks story is so weird. I'm think the only way anyone would notice a person having trouble with chopsticks would be if you lived in a place where that was the main utensil, or maybe if you were failing so hard that food was getting everywhere and causing a mess.
Yes, I would not have asked for "Training Wheels" unless it was Sushi Bar in Japan, I would have asked for a fork. Although being a person who dislikes fish, would not have ordered fish especially raw fish. So would not have been in that type of restaurant in the first place unless it served steak or Shrimp, better yet Surf and Turf.
@@GhostRider-sc9vu I'm not a fan of fish either, but from knowing people who love sushi, not all kinds but a good many of them can start falling apart if speared with a fork. Some use the fork more like a scoop, and others just use their hands.
Technically sushi is supposed to be eaten by hand, not chopsticks. The important thing is that the food gets in your mouth, I couldn’t imagine making a big deal over chopsticks even in a place where that is the predominant utensil. Tangent: I had a friend when I was living in Japan who was born and raised in China, she held her chopsticks like she was stabbing something and somehow it worked! It was the most interesting technique I have ever seen. But it got the food to the mouth so who cares!
Or never having had to use chopsticks before bc she never had sushi in her life??? 🤦🏼♀️ the cousin needs to vent elsewhere (maybe scream into the pillow instead of being incredibly insulting to family members?) Sheesh. Some people...🙄
Till now, I still cannot properly use a pair of chopsticks. To make it better, I am a 24 year old chinese living in singapore. I kept crossing the chopsticks which is incorrect but, i mean if it works, it works. OP handed to her cousin a good nice emotional damage
Story 3: that Wes Anderson comparison is so perfect like the camera keeps cutting between them as they’re talking in the perfect middle of the shot.
“Hey”
“Hey”
“Waters colder than usual”
“Weathers colder than usual”
“…”
“Good game?”
“Not bad”
“…”
“This water really is cold”
“If it could be warmer it would be”
“Okay”
“Okay”
“Bye then”
“Bye”
😆👍Love this, I can see Bill Murray in the lawn chair, spraying the kid.
And we all know at the rising action of the movie the kid arrives at the house and the guy isn't there, kid waits for a bit but figured the guy had a thing to do.
Then he comes back and he's still not there, again and again no one and kid gets worried enough to come to the door, muddy and sweaty but worried.
Wife assured him that guy just went to a funeral states away and now kid contemplates the difference between kids and adults and how the little might they had might be unique to a guy his age.
And a week after that, guy showed up again and three hide moment is awkward, but then guy notices and points the house at himself and they both laugh
2nd Story: GF deserves someone better. She clearly has so much skill and deserves someone so much better.
I hope GF goes to more cosplays. But not with OP.
I get your point, but a girl with a double mastectomy has a limited dating pool. It might be in her best interest to consider his boundaries if she sees him as a long-term option.
@@seekeroftruth6728 better alone than in shitty company with someone who's ashamed of her scars.
Nah. There is no reason to stay with someone like that because of a "limited dating pool". Dw there are guys out there that aren't that shallow.
@@darkunykorn404she didn't ask for his boundries, she just didnwhat she wanted and that's her right but then she asked him after the fact and she got más because he was not okay with what she did. That's being childish and selfish, that's not how relationships works.
@@matilted and She's gonna have problem with all of them if she do things without thinking in her partner and them being mad when they answer her questions.
Story 1: The soon to be ex-wife neglects her stepson, forces him to do whatever his stepsisters want, keeps him away from his friends, and she only gets 3.5? She is straight up emotionally abusing her stepson, I think she deserves more, like a 4.5.
Yeah, especially if rSlash was giving the next story’s OP a 4, that ex-wife needs a 4.5 or 5.
He refuses to give women a high bad guy score.
@@Dragonmaster0118 it’s a problem with AITA in general, not just RSlash. I encountered it in the comment section of #1. People were making up outlandish scenarios in which the wife was somehow not completely responsible for her actions. (Pressured by a friend, insecure about her relationship with OP, worried that the son wouldn’t acknowledge the sisters as family, etc). All completely ridiculous, but it’s commonplace on AITA to assign less blame to a female AH. I guess that was my long way of saying that RSlash isn’t unique in his unconscious bias.
@@rowanisntreal can you link the story? I'd like to follow it to see any future updates.
@Dragonmaster0118 I mean, he gave OP in the first story of AITA for ruining my daughter's future 4/5 bad guys and he did give some women 5/5 in some of his older AITA posts
Story 1: woah 3.5 really? She basically verbally abused her stepson, used op truma against him and show clear favoritism. She's a horrible stepmom, wife, and human being.
And he put 4 for the story right after... I'd definitely upgrade Erica to 4.5 or 5 to be honest
Erica is definitely a 5
As a cancer survivor myself I'm cheering like a cheerleader for the girlfriend.
Lady, you're awesome with a big AWE.
Stay yourself and stay that kind of badass.
Love you :)
Ngl lowkey wanna see the cosplay now, its gotta be super goddamn cool!
Also congrats on surviving cancer, have a great life :D
And if bf was a true bf he would call out the people who stared at his gf negatively
I'm currently living with a breast cancer patient going through chemo and I think she's amazing. But yeah his girlfriend should find a new boyfriend because he's a POS
im sorry but i wouldnt want my gf being half naked in front of people like wtf... thats just weird
I’m a cosplayer and I think the girlfriend is totally in the right. She works in special effects, what did you expect? Of course she has burn special effect makeup! Every cosplayer cosplays for themselves and no one else.
I find it weird how many people feel entitled to women's bodies, especially if they're into cosplay
I'm so glad that the first story has an update because I would be fuming for an entire week thinking about it otherwise.
I want to try to find it in hopes of future updates
Story 2: OP's girlfriend (in my opinion) has a bigger pair than OP does. That took a lot of guts to do.
Last story: Note she had nothing left to say when you called her out on letting the kids scream around the restaurant. You didn't curse about the can you tell them to get from under your table, also small child touching a stranger's leg under a table is such a big know that I don't blame you for screening.
I have kids and I would b sooooo embarrassed if they were behaving like wild animals in public like that
Story 2: As someone who used to cosplay, the fact that OP sees cosplay as "something sexy" that is girlfriend would do "for [him]" tells me all I need to know about OP. He seems like the kind of person that makes female cosplayers uncomfortable because of an unhealthy amount of creepy staring. What a giant hole of ass.
Mastectomy or not the fact that she walks around topless is public tells us all we need to know about the gf. For the streets😂. When you're with someone only they get to see you, no one else (doctors being an exception). Even if they're single any girl walking around topless is for the streets
She literally told him "You're going to love this!" And dressed up as a a character that he loves on purpose to make him happy...
@@damannamhcab Kind of what I was thinking, OP may not have been totally aware of the emotion at the time.
@@damannamhcab it sounded like it was covered with makeup/prosthetics, and honestly so what if it wasn’t? Men walk around without a shirt all the time, and if you’re reasoning is “iTs DiFfErEnT, wE dOnT hAvE bOoBs” then she should be fine since she doesn’t anymore either. She put in a lot of effort to dress up like a character he liked, and it was clearly appreciated by a lot of the other fans of the show/character. Insecure man babies don’t get to tell other people how to dress and behave just because it fucks with their world view and fragile self esteem

Nothing is stronger than the love between a father and his son,. You have a duty to protect your child.
perhaps its fair.
@@1mol831 It's more than fair, It's about idea to get involved with single mothers,their single for a reason.
A father has a responsibility to protect his son,. The mother was emotionally abusing the kid and treating him like garbage,people like that Are disgusting and what kind of man would keep his child in the environment?. The only decision they made poorly was not kicking the wife out . Honestly I wish This man's luck.
@@mattwise8597 I don't think single parents should date AT ALL until their kids are grown up and independent to the degree that they will never need money, housing, childcare, food, or anything else from their parent.
@@agentzapdos4960 I agree completely with that,not to mention when you get involved with a single parent,.
There's a whole bunch of issues including respect from the children,stories like this only re-enforce not to get involved with people that already have children.
Honestly I feel bad for this guy but he chose to get involved with her and now he's paying the Price for that bad decision,i'm just glad He chose to protect his son,so many stories on here Where parents absolutely choose their partner over their child,it's disgusting
@@mattwise8597 When I said "single parents shouldn't date" I mean single dads as well.

So proud of that cosplay. She seized the opportunity and should know that she's amazing.
She went exposed and he objected, as he had every right to do. It's trashy, but hey, I guess she can be trashy if she wants.

Story 4: Ops roast made my day, her cousin was calling her an embarrassment and an idiot but Op roasted the hell out of her and somehow Ops the bad guy In this? This is basically don’t dish it out if you can’t take it. 😂
Here's an update from OP:
Thank you all for the overwhelming responses! I’ve been wanting to put Sarah in her place for a while now - and I’m glad I did! However, Sarah’s Mom got involved and is mad at me.
Apparently, MJ told Sarah that him and his wife were separating. Sarah found out that he lied because she was secretly stalking his wife’s Facebook page - and got the shock of her life when wifey posted a newborn baby and MJ was there for the birth.
Sarah did the math and realized that he got both of them pregnant the week of his birthday. She confronted him and he confirmed it. He also said that she’ll have to get over it or he’ll leave. So, she stayed and is now constantly in shambles. Not my problem.
Now onto the problem. She kept the wife’s baby a secret and only told her mom, who told my mom, who told my sister and I. So, they said that they were pissed because I wasn’t supposed to repeat it.
BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. After like a week, that’s all everyone talked about.
Sarah’s mom (my aunt) reached out to me this morning and she said that Sarah’s problem with me is that I always said I don’t like kids and only a “horrible person” won’t like kids - and that I was mean to her about her kids 2 months ago.
2 months ago she wanted to go to a party with MJ and asked me to watch her kids. ALL THREE OF THEM. FOR FREE. I told her no because they’re untrained, I don’t feel comfortable watching a newborn - and she’ll have to pay me to put up with the other two.
So, I guess that’s why she’s still holding grudges.
Regardless, Sarah’s mom said she was having a really hard time after finding out about the “outside” baby (who technically is the inside baby as Sarah’s baby is the outside baby but whatever) and she wants me to apologize for putting her business out there for everyone.
She got my mom and sister involved so I just called Sarah and apologized. She just said “I don’t care what you have to say” and hung up.
Regardless. I held up my end of the bargain. Hopefully this gets blown over soon because ya girl is TIRED.
@@shoshannagreen9233 she shouldn’t have apologized, fuck that family
First story, only a few minutes in, OP is NTA. Idk about y’all but that sounds…controlling? Issac probably won’t like the playplace, and the wife seems abusive….
First story: NTA. I jsut heard that she wanted to take her step son to a place that her daughters love ON HER STEP SON'S BIRTHDAY. She is grossly playing favorites.
With the update: This is literally Cinderella's evil step mom and the spoiled twin sisters! I can't believe someone could get close to that level of abuse and manipulation. For what I know about the fairy tale it wasn't much left before OP died "under mysterious circunstances".
That first story hit really close to home and now I'm sobbing because I'm happy a kid got the benefit of the doubt nobody had the decency to give me when I was a teen. That dad is a gem ❤
I rrally hope the father in the first story makes sure his son knows he isnt the reason for the divorce.
I hope the opposite, but not in a kid-feels-guilty kind of way. I hope that the kid realizes his dad stood up for him and did exactly what needed to be done to protect him, and that he's the most important thing in his dad's life.
I hope so too. He didn't cause the divorce, OP's ex-wife is.
Story 2: first of all you're at an anime convention, a place where there is no kind of body shame, unless you get the costume wrong. Second, most women are so insecure when it comes to that kind of scarring but your GF war proudly and used it in her cosplay like a champ, but instead of showing her some sort of moral support you're upset because people can see it and she wasn't we're wearing something sexy. Then even though that's her body and whatever anyone is saying behind your back will be solely directed at her, you're embarrassed for you not once did you mention being concern for how she feels. Don't be surprised if she doesn't call you.
He assumed she was gonna do something sexy _for_ him. 🙄
The moment you feel the need to say "it wasn't attractive" you know it's gonna be a fucking ride of a mental gymnastics post
The sushi one is obviously a case of being unable to take what she was dishing out. The sister was being rude but the moment it got flipped on her she got upset.
It was the cousin
There's no better partnership than a man, his garden hose, and the kid next door.
Story 1 I heard this one. Glad op got his son away from that.
Story 1: I’m glad OP’s dropping that horrible witch and pulled his son out of that terrible situation. I’ve listened to far too many stories of parents choosing the abusive partner over their children. OP did what his parent couldn’t. I just hope OP takes some time to find therapy for himself as well.
Story 2: Home girl spent countless hours putting her talent into a costume to not only support her partner’s interest, but to celebrate sticking it to cancer, and OP threw it back in her face. He wanted eye candy to show off. I hope she dropped his ass and found someone who doesn’t treat her like an embarrassment.
Story 3: OP and Kid Cleats are childish idiots, but cute childish idiots. Who knew they’d form a budding friendship?
Story 4: Cousin started it, OP finished it … and salted the earth. I’m not sure how long the cousin’s been acting like this, but there isn’t enough “burn heal” out there to cure that wound. (Also unruly kids at a sushi joint? I was expecting them to tear down the shoji.)
Last Story: Classic entitled parent BS. It’s not the restaurant’s responsibility to watch over your unruly demon spawn. Kid got lucky OP didn’t react by kicking.
Erica with twin daughters definitely gets a 5/5, that was actually child neglect and abuse, he is/was 13yrs old.
I remember the second story. Everyone trashed OP in the comments, it was very satisfying.
Real freaking funny (/s) how the mother in the first one tried to say OP was prioritizing his bio son over his step daughters when the mother was prioritizing her bio daughters over her step son....
Puts the PRO in projection.
I always hate the stories where someone is conscious about OTHER peoples scars.
Story 1: people do this all the time, they grow up with toxic behaviour and without knowing surround themselves with the people like that because they're so used to it they're often blind to the similarities and red flag. But in this case you didn't know because she hid it from you, and use your own insecurities as a weapon, but the second you realized something was wrong you did everything you were supposed to, then got your son out of that house, all wild reassuring him that no one is more important than him. Don't beat yourself up too bad, besides right now you should focus on doing damage control and getting yourself separated from that crap show.
The garden hose story cracked me up. Just imagining the whole thing is wild. That's something that's gonna build character one day. Not sure what type of character, but it's definitely something
Story 2: I have a massive scar across my stomach from a life-saving surgery that I had when I was eight. I used to be ashamed of it, but I'm proud of it now. If my partner ever criticizes me for not hiding it away, they'd be dumped so fast.
Story1: Erica accused OP of what SHE was doing AND manipulating him. Story 4: not the bad guy. Sticking up for yourself should never result in being a bad guy when all you are doing to turning the instigator's behavior back on them. Peop,e in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
We could tell OP the scapegoat of the family
1st story: Her accusation is an admission of guilt. *She* is playing favorites with her own girls over her stepson. It's *his* birthday. You have to accommodate *him,* not the younger girls whose birthday it's not.
Edit: She seriously told a man to his face that she didn't have to care about his son at all?
story 1 so Erica expects OP to treat her daughters the same as his son but doesn't expect that she has to treat OP's child the same as her daughters what kind of world does she live in
"You can't expect a mother to love someone else's kids" gives the same energy as "If I cheat it's your fault because you must have done something wrong!". The saddest thing is garbage men will say the same crap, using their gender to justify objectively bad behavior but both sides will ignore their own, point at the other and say they're the only ones that do it.
The world of entitlement apparently. 🙄
The garden hose story is so wholesome.
So a guy who says he was uncomfortable with the style of his gf gets a higher bad guy score than an abusive control freak stepmom? I think both are bad, but I see an abusive parent as WAY WORSE than a childish bf. Get you priorities straight, dude
How exactly is the step mom in the first story that abuses his son only 3.5/5, but the guy embarrassed by his GF's cosplay 4/5?
Classic R/slash. White knights women to no end. I think we can all agree that abuse is so much worse than mild embarrassment. But remember, there’s a woman there, so that means White knight time!
He won’t give women high bad guy scores.
I think its because the step mum didn't abuse her step son as badly as seen elsewhere on the channel and that the GF was a cancer survivor.
@@Dragonmaster0118 we get it, u hate women
@@Dragonmaster0118 Exactly! He always coddles the female 'bad guys'.
Story 1: I hope OP has recorded his conversation with his hopefully ex wife. That would be very helpful in case of a messy divorce.
"Why would I care about a kid that isn't mine?"
Jesus, who the hell hurt you Erica? That's foulest thing that has came out of his mouth.
Story 5: That doesn't sound like post-partum to me. It sounds like she's jealous of her childless sister. OP is NTA
Sarah's lowkey jealous of OP and now she's upsetti spaghetti that OP roasted her?
Yeah but OP is TA. Not for roasting her cousin, the cousin deserved it. But she literally called her cousins kids “rude pieces of sh*t”. Who talks about CHILDREN that way?
Story 1: So, she expects him to be a proper dad for her daughters but refuses to be a proper mother for his son? That is just messed up.
That story with the hose: This. This should be what the saying ‚Boys will be boys‘ should be about. Total harmless dumbassery. The true essence of friendship
This used to be what the saying "Boys will be boys," was about, until we swallowed the myth that boys are just defective girls.
I can't believe you didn't cover the spicy update to the 5th story. For anyone that wants to read w/o digging up the user, here you go.

1:38 Between both stepdaughters, that's 2 birthdays at the kiddy play place.
Second story: THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT BODY POSITIVITY SHOULD BE LIKE!! I only hope the girl loses some weight ( about 60-70 kg or whatever the boyfriend weighs) GOOD FOR YOU GIRL! Good for you!
It took me a solid minute to get the weight joke. I kept trying to remember if op mentioned his girlfriend being overweight.
i almost wrote a whole ass paragraph. you had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
2nd story: i would've been disappointed, at the most, for not getting to see a sexy cosplay, but while i don't like Dabi as a character, i do love his design. And i can tell from the description that she nailed it. My only concern would be if she properly covered her nippled, that's it.
She’s doesn’t have any nipples to cover anymore as she has no breasts from breast cancer and a double mastectomy there’s nothing to cover
Many times, with a double mastectomy, the nipple is gone if they don't do reconstruction. Question, though, why should she have to cover her nipples? Would I guy need to if coplaying that character? I am not familiar with the character's design.
@jurgenvonjessica4656 I wouldn't want my girlfriend flashing her nips at strangers, but if she doesn't have any, then fine. And I think Dabi's coat never shows his nipples. Similar to how some animated females who wear skirts never show their underwear, even when upside down.
@@magical_pixie_horse7346 If your imaginary girlfriend wanted to show her nipples, she could do that. You wouldn't own her body.
Story 2: the guy had stated that "I thought she would do something sexy for me" if you want her to dress sexy, WHY bring her to public if you are going to act insecure? Also she did dress sexy. Dabi is sexy and I bet she felt amazing
The second story is kinda messed up. I plan on doing a Dabi cosplay in the future, and my partner is supportive of this, though I haven't finalized it yet. This story's another case of forcing someone to be in one's certain male gaze. Maybe it's not, bur still
Cosplay story: i am not even halfway through the story and I already know he's TA. His (future ex, I hope) girlfriend is correct. She was absolutely making the best of things given her situation, and I for one adore how cool and brave it was of her to literally do all that! If he's so insecure, he can probably cosplay as a sailor moon or whatever.
Actually, I hope he does dump her for being socially inappropriate and rather trashy. It's not the scars, it's the inappropriate exposure.
But hey, I have social standards.
What's more "insecure?" A guy telling his girl that he thinks her actions were inappropriate, regardless of how she'll react? Or a guy being too scared to set boundaries because he's scared of her reaction? I'd say OP is very secure. Men are allowed to have standards too.
inappropriate about what? Being shirtless? She had a coat on top and makeup on. It's like a shirtless dude doing the same because she had a double mastectomy. There's literally nothing there but skin and scars. You're free to feel iffy but not to impose your feelings on anyone. Her body...
@@nopenopenopenope4076 Actually, I'm free to tell her that was trashy AF, dump her trashy ass, and find somebody else.
But thank you for imposing your feelings about this cosplay on the entire Internet while telling us about how we don't have the right to impose our feelings on anybody.
Expected whine "Why are you so worked up..." Hypocrisy pisses me off, toots.
@@seekeroftruth6728 Exactly, and telling your GF she just did something pretty trashy is a good standard. Mastectomy or no, that's trashy.

How in oblivion did the stepmom abusing a child get 3.5? That should totally be 5/5 ir at least a 4/5 the things she did that kid is going follow him his whole life.

Hes a simp. Panders to women, doesn’t hold them to the standard as men when giving scores.

@@yobabycolin2933and in the second story he gave the guy 4/5 buttholes for embarrassment, but the child abuser only got 3.5/5? He’s definitely white knighting women again.
How does the stepmother in the 1st story basically neglecting a child get a softer score than the guy who is embarrassed by his girlfriends cosplay?
The hose guy is amazing. He was like “let me chase this asshole kid away” and instead they ended up having a friendly relationship and routine after the kid’s soccer practice. The fact that the kid’s parents haven’t come looking for the poster tells me that the interactions aren’t at all upsetting to the kid.
One of the best ways to get rid of an enemy is to turn them into a friend.
As an anime and cosplayer enthusiast (I don’t cosplay sadly but one can dream) drawing up as any character for the sheer joy of it is what all people should do at any convention (if you want to of course) be who you want to be when cosplaying and enjoy yourself! Heck I’m a guy and there’s a female character I hope to cosplay one day when I get the confidence and opportunity to do it.

Small thing that’s been bugging me: the first story update was posted four days later, not the same day.
Also, Erica deserves a way harsher judgment, at least 4/5 if not more. What she did was verbal and emotional abuse of the son, gaslighting OP and weaponizing his trauma, minor parentification of the son, emotionally manipulating the son to hide the abuse from OP, and trying to drive a wedge between OP and the son.
story 1 beating breast cancer is already a big achievement OP is a big one AH because he thinks his girlfriend's scars are something she should be ashamed of and thinking her costume wasn't sexy
Please learn to count because this is starting to spread
Story 2: He should have been happy that she was supporting his hobby. 4/5 isn't to harsh.
have you seen what this dude has given 4 or 5’s to?? Based on his scale, which is wildly inconsistent, i’d say that story warrants about a 2.5, maybe 3. 5 is like beating your wife bruh, what if the dude is just not very emotionally intelligent and didn’t consider how his feelings would affect his girlfriend. It really wasn’t that bad
@bo_g4284 You know what I think you're right. I have a personal bias here that effected the score. I would be okay with right around 2.5 or 3. I was to harsh.
@@DaggersandDiplomacy Wow, a person with self awareness and humility online? Respect 🙏🏼
The story about spraying the kid with a hose made me laugh so hard. It's just so hilarious that the kid just kind of... accepted the punishment. He well knows that he should not be doing that, but also trusts OP to not overreact, so he does it, accepts the punishment, stays for a while and goes on his marry way. Great, wholesome story, love it!
The garden hose one: as long as the kid is okay with being cooled down with a hose after soccer practice, then it seems okay to me
Story 2: the whole "making her feel worse for her situation" is a BIG thing.
Sh trigger warning ⚠️
It took me tears to finally feel comfortable wearing short because (though my arms are bad) my legs are BAD for scars... I used to hate myself for them because I caused them myself which started the whole cycle again because I couldn't wear shorts in fear that I would get judged or trigger someone else. I spent 8 years not wearing shorts because I hated myself so much.
But after a while I kinda got sick of the heat waves and finally put shorts on and walked around town while my anxiety freaked out. There were no new ones so I didn't have to worry about triggering someone as much but still the pain was there.
Year 3 on wearing shorts in the summer. I call my scars 'tiger stripes' and so does my bf and he has not once made me feel bad about my scars. In fact when I start getting self conscious he reminds me that he barely sees them anymore. That "they are just like tiger stripes to me eventually you just stop seeing the stripes and you start to see the tiger"
Sounds like you found a keeper.
Honestly the garden hose story is fucking hilarious. Good on those two.
Story 6: When I was
Story 1: I’ve heard this story before. What’s worse, Erica KNEW what OP went through with his stepfather, and what does she do? Act exactly like OP’s stepfather, mistreat OP’s son and use OP’s trauma to manipulate him. Her asking why should she care for a child that isn’t hers, yet wanting and manipulating OP to care for her children is so hypocritical
Story 1: such terrible treatment by the wife to the step son. Absolutely awful.
I'm not gonna lie, if I dated someone who made such a good Dabi cosplay I'd probably jump them and- 🥵
When Rslash said "Ooh Ouch! Ooh BURN that one stings!" 😂 it made me pause what I was doing to laugh haha
That last story, just for a little info, its perfectly acceptable to eat sushi with your fingers. Its much the same as eating a chicken wing/drumstick. Eating it with the chopsticks is actually a novelty introduced for american tourists.
Most Japanese restaurants will offer you a hot towel to clean hands on before you eat with your fingers.
