    Nope, they’re wrong about the study regarding single parents. The study says that single dads have more success because ppl are more likely to OFFER help than single mothers. Ppl don’t offer help to single mothers, that’s the reason for the discrepancy, not because single mothers are less likely to accept help. Single mothers NEED help, that’s the whole point of the study.

      ​@@Rysco_creationsif you could think critically for a second you'd also be able to correlate that single mothers are usually on a lower income, in more deprived areas, have usually had to miss further education, are usually young themselves and/or impressionable and have less support and social stigma. So, it makes sense that children in that environment fair less than 2parent households or single father households where many of the issues take place. Not to mention that there are significantly more single mothers than there are single fathers. It also doesn't account for the absent fathers lack of accountability.

      It might be just sex for her, but it wasn't an innocent comment for him. And that's valid. Unfortunately, she won't have to live with it, knowing that for the duration of their marriage, she still felt that her ex was the best sex she's had, felt it so strongly that its her actual dying wish. That's gonna taint so many memories for him. Her husband is going to live with that statement and deal with the inherent insecurity that comes with a statement like that. It's not just sex for her current husband. The supposed love of his life is dying, and she wants to go have sex with an ex (assuming the ex is down). I'd be heartbroken.

    While this is a large generalization, it's so sad that moms often end up being the "annoying" or "strict" parent because they take on a majority of the mental load. At the same time, the dads end up being the "fun" or "easygoing" parent because they're just riding on the work their wife does. I feel so bad about viewing my mom this way growing up now that I'm an adult. I had to teach my dad how to cook a f*cking egg when my mom was sick.

      Yessss and then the fathers complain that the mother is a nag or too up tight. As the story says “she needs to lower her standards” but really majority of the time it’s the fact that the other person needs to raise their standards of what they consider good parenting or being a good partner. No wonder the mother in this story was so stressed she’s trying to do these incredible things to mold her kids minds into healthy happy adults and her husband doesn’t even see purpose in it. So of course she feels the need to take it all on her shoulders and over compensate for his lack of parenting. I see so much of myself in her because a lot of times my past partners would say I’m a “perfectionist” but really I just was raised well and like to do things the correct way. I don’t even have kids and I could see this becoming a problem in my own life. When becoming a spouse and parent you have to learn to be selfless sometimes and if something matters to your partner you help them do it because it’s for the best of the entire family. His laziness really showed through in the way he spoke about his wife and young children saying “they can just do it by themselves” sure maybe they could but they shouldn’t have to. They are kids and deserve parents who care enough to wake up and help them get ready in the morning for school especially when still in elementary. My mother always did that for me and I remember that even as an adult. My father however I could not remember a single morning of him waking me up for school making sure I was on the bus, making sure I had lunch money. None of it, we need to stop excusing fathers of absent parenting just because in most traditional families they end up as the financial provider.

    Story 5: As a kid I was expected to look after myself from 7/8. I washed and ironed my school clothes, made lunch, checked my own homework. As my little sister(2 years younger) started school her stuff was my responsibility as well. I was responsible for cooking dinner by 12, then laundry, garden work, cleaning the house. It was a lot for me, I became a very anxious child because of it. This is triggering that a father is complaining about the basics of parenthood and thinking his wife should relax and let their kids fend for themselves at 8!

      He is not being a present father, but on some things he isn't totally wrong. On some yes, 100%, he needs to get up in the morning for example. It's good for kids to be able to get ready for school in time but you need to teach them, not just leave them alone and hope they will figure it out.
      But for other thing, this mother reminds me of mine... and she would create very stressful situations (forcing me and my sister to do activities toghether because "that's what a family do", or wanting us to spend a certain amount of hours on homeworks, when I needed way less time and my sister needed more breaks to do well).
      At my father's house we were never neglected. If we asked, he was always happy do to activities with us and always ready to help with homeworks but he was definitely more relaxed and while I know my mother had my best interest in mind she was doing things in a way that didn't work for us

    Story 5 made me 😡. Absolutely a happy Mom is way important, but why dad would rather convince Mom to step down with him, over him stepping up occasionally* to assist her with the mental load? He sees her struggling and instead of “I got it babe” it’s, “join me in not participating.” It’s hard to believe that he is as involved as he claims when she’s so exhausted and he’s criticizing all that she does and justifying all that he’s not. There are many two parent households with only one parent parenting.

    Story 5: That OP is the AH. The reason his wife is strict is because he's slacking and she has to make up the difference. 99 times out of 100, when there is an imbalanced level of strictness, it is a polarizing, recursive effect. If the slacker steps up, the stricter one gets an opportunity to relax. But, if the stricter one relaxes first, the slacker just lets everything fall apart and then blames their spouse for slacking.

      People differ, so I think anecdotal situations aren't the best way to go about this. Like in my own upbringing, I was mostly left to do everything independently, and I don't feel neglected or that my parents are bad. But my younger brother needs more attention and hugs, or he feels that something is wrong. Also, just saying, as it relates to the parent being home vs. them being at work, if you aren't comfortable with them doing it alone when you're there, don't expect the kid to understand your circumstances just because you have work. Loneliness is loneliness. If you wanted kids, it looks like it's time for a job change (even though it might be hard). You're sticking to your principles, so make sure you are present to uphold them.

      I am an evening person so usually the kids (5 and 6) dress and eat themselves, then I do myself up, get them to kindie/school and go to work. My husband is often more hands on - he helps them find socks and hats, toasts bread and pours milk. If he's not there or he's sleeping, they do it alone. During my 6 years of parenting, I've made breakfast only occasionally on Sundays (smoothie and pancakes).
      What comes to screen time, if I'm busy, I try to use screens when possible, but not after 8 pm. Sometimes I tell them to close it and encourage to start games and outdoor activities now and then. Kids almost never spend 2 hours a day on screens.
      My kids are smart, independent, polite, caring, like cooking, listen to what I say.
      We spend time together. I often take them to longer trips, shops, work or friends, but rarely to zoos or parks.
      I think the husband definitely has a point! Why get a migraine and spoil my day, if mornings are just not my thing?

      8 is 3rd grade. First grade would be age 6, just so you know. That aside, I agree. Even when we made ourselves instant oatmeal or cereal for breakfast, my parents, especially my dad, was getting us up, making sure we brushed our teeth/washed faces, and that we actually made and ate breakfast if he didn't make it. By high school he didn't have to wake us up, but he at least checked to see that we did get up to start getting ready and had our stuff to head out of the door. Mom made sure our hair was still fresh and our clothes were ironed at that age. Just a hug and kiss from your parents out of the door is so important because things happen and that may be the last time you see each other. And we never left the house alone prior to high school. Had to walk with siblings, other kids, or a parent.

The amount of behaviors in schools now is insane. Kids are used to getting their way at home, being on technology 24/7, and have a lack of boundaries.

Considering this, I’m sure OP knew exactly how these people were and how out of control their kids were going to be (because their parents weren’t going to stop it, it seems), and they planned accordingly.

    The parenting story shows the problem with men these days. The mom is trying to get the kids out of the house to tire them out because then they won’t go to bed if they aren’t tired. If the kids don’t go to bed, the dad isn’t going to be the one handling that. I have an 8 year old and if we don’t do something fun for at least 4-6 hours a day on a weekend, he is bouncing off the walls. They need stimulation, and it sounds like the dad doesn’t get it. And it’s really weird for the dad to not take their turn getting the kids up. All of the responsibility falls on the mom, which is not ok if there’s a dad in the house. Heck, my husband is my son’s step dad and he takes on a lot more responsibility than this dad.

I have a son (he’s 19 now) who has adhd (I do too) and up until high school I had to make sure he got himself ready and out the door on time. In my case, I was a single parent. I had help thankfully from my parents, but getting him up and out the door could be so stressful if I just let him do his thing because ADHD and executive function are at odds in the brain. I had to make sure he did all the steps to get ready…I’m talking getting him refocused to brush his teeth, brush his hair, change clothes, etc. because he’d get so distracted so easily even with medication. This dad is sleeping in and missing that part of the equation. His wife may seem snappy and irritable, rigid (and she may be on some of it!) but it sounds like exactly what Morgan said..there’s no compromise or offer to help. He just wants to skirt on by doing the fun dad bit.

My mom and dad was up and making sure, we was ready at the right time. So if my sister needed it, there were help, but we were both very independent in the morning in general.

      Yeah my brother and I both had undiagnosed ADHD and needed different types of help leaving in the morning. I have terrible time blindness, so even though I knew how to do all the things to get out the door, I could get stuck on a step for too long without realizing it, so my parents helped me learn how to be more time aware and make sure I was getting things done by the right time. My brother on the other hand needed to be told all the steps otherwise he would forget a lot of them.
      There is no way that he or I could have gotten ourselves to school by ourselves until our later teens to be honest.
      I also think that this is not a crazy thing to ask a Dad to get their child do. It isn't some extra crazy step. It's the bare minimum.
      My Dad used to wake up and make us our eggs and cut up some fresh fruit even when we were in high school. My Mom would be helping my brother through his morning routine while he did that and then we'd quickly eat together. My Dad wasn't really and to do a lot of other cooking for other meals, but he was great at making eggs so he took full ownership of that meal 7 days a week.

As for the dad, if you didn’t sign up to be awake at 6:45 every morning for your children then you shouldn’t have been a father. Does he think she enjoys waking up that early every morning? Parenting never works when one is good cop and the other is bad cop. It sounds like he doesn’t respect her or her parenting style. I’m so sick of some people becoming parents and not want to parent

    For the wedding story, I am totally on the side of the bride. I know that a lot of commenters were talking about how communication was important, and how it was awful that the bride deceived them, but this was a situation where clearly the family did not respect the bride’s boundaries in the first place.
    Number one, the Mario kart music. They were letting their children play video games during the ceremony. That is really disrespectful, and if you actually cared and loved someone, you would actually honor the sacred moment of them being together and celebrating that.
    Number two, somebody at the wedding was giving out drinks to underage teenagers. That is a huge sign of disrespect, and also something that the bride and groom could’ve gotten in trouble for. If an emergency happened and the police had showed up and seen that, there is a possibility that the reception would’ve been shut down and people could’ve been arrested. Providing alcohol to underage people if it’s in the states, is illegal.
    Number three, the bride literally said that she wanted her wedding to be child free, but found out it would be a huge fight, and she didn’t wanna deal with it. If she had communicated her intention to have two ceremonies, I bet that would’ve been a huge fight too.
    This is a clear situation where clearly the bride wasn’t respected, and her wedding day was clearly not being honored by the family.
    Also, from what I understand, no one ever apologized to her for her dress getting messed up by the sick baby, and it sounds like they weren’t apologized to for the other chaos that happened. The bride was totally in the right here. 100% NTA. I think what she did was so clever, and she definitely went about it the right way. Honestly, this family kind of sounds like they suck. Throw the whole relatives away.

      also they were saying how messed up it was that she tricked them with the priest etc, but the way i understood it was that they had a church wedding (the big one) and them a more private civil ceremony (where they sign the government papers), which i thought was fine??
      lots of different cultures have multiple ceremonies, and i don’t know how common it if for christians but were i live people tend to do the religious ceremony with all the loved ones included and then a civil wedding that’s smaller (sometimes its just the bride, groom and their witnesses, that take a few hours to sign the government papers)

I don’t see how it matters either way. This solution should be seen as the one where everyone gets what they want. Unfortunately- some folks will be mad either way.

    Story 5: My 9yo brother has ADHD and absolutely CANNOT get ready on his own. He gets distracted by even the smallest things, so my mom still helps him get ready for school and while she and my dad are at work, I pick him up from school because there's no way he can get home by himself even if it's a short distance. Letting him wake up on his own and getting ready on his own is not an option. I also have a 12 yo sister. She should absolutely not be responsible for getting my brother ready, just like how OP wanted his kids to do. Kids don't like listening to their siblings, and kids should not be responsible for their siblings. I work at nights and sleep during the day, and I still get myself out of bed to pick up my brother BECAUSE HE'S A KID. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM. And the screen time limitation is absolutely a good thing. My family doctor recommended my brother have less screen time because of his ADHD, so my parents limit his.
    Of course, all of this is just based off of personal experience, and I'm not even a parent, but I still know what it's like for kids to get ready for school since I still live at home with my parents and some siblings. OP can get his butt out of bed an hour earlier to help at out least once a week (twice is ideal). He can plan outings, even if it's just something as simple as going to the park. He is not as involved as he thinks he is, and I'm glad reddit actually tore him apart and agreed he's the AH.

You don’t have to be rigid all the time. And 9 times out of 10, kids with strict parents tend to rebel more. Cause really, 2 hours of screen time? Weekly outdoor activities?

    About the double wedding story: why on earth is it “fake” to have 2 ceremonies? It doesn’t make either fake. Just one is for the masses and one for the bride & groom. Both ceremonies and vows are valid and plenty of people have gotten married and not signed the official paperwork to be legally married on the day of the ceremony or prior. If you don’t file the paperwork prior you technically won’t be legally married until the paperwork is in but that doesn’t make you any less a married couple. People need to chill and let the couple honor their the way they want as many times as they want.

Moms have to work more because of the wage gap that is very much so still around. Women are less likely to receive help because of the patriarchal expectations for women. Women are also less likely to find partners after having kids. So why do kids in single mom households have more problems than single man? MY question for YOU is WHY WOULDN'T THEY. They get scrutinized by society, no financial help, and are often overworked and isolated. DO BETTER.

Sooooo many couples do not do this and that's why we get so many crazy parenting stories from reddit.

    Story 5: 2 hours is the max a day kids should be using devices out of school work. There is research that has been done in this. My youngest is 7, he gets his own breakfast. The older teens have helped themselves to breakfast since they were around 5. It is teaching independence and life skills. I partner also takes the kids to school 2 to 3 times a week and that includes lunches and getting them ready. OP could get up once or twice a week and ensure the kids have eaten and out the door on the bus to give her a break.
    I use to take my kids out EVERY weekend. My partner worked away, so it was all on me. However, the planing was we are going here, we need these things, and kids packed their own bags. It sounds like she micro managers the planning from how he put it. But that could just be his perception.
    It feels like there is a massive difference in parenting styles and him not understanding the mental load the default parent carries. Can he name the kids teachers, what about doctors, or even what year at school they are in? Is there difference uniforms the kids have to have each day, if so, does he know that without being told. Does he organise and spend time one on one with each child? This is extremely important to have stable parent / child relationships.

      I swung from super excited to irrationally angry at the mention of that story again... was ready to just close the video in disgust before learning it's only on Patreon.
      Like, Morgan, PLEASE begging you to let it go. If you feel the need to put it on Patreon out of fear of the reaction, then you obviously know that the audience doesn't like it.... So what's the DEAL? What is that story doing for YOU? Is it the story itself that's titillating? Or is it the negative reaction of the audience that's enjoyable?

    For Story 6; As a photographer, I always ask couples if they're open to a separate day for pictures of either just them or parents and them. It opens up so much time and gets rid of an insane amount of stress. Not a lot of people are willing to but those that have done this said it's the best decision they made.

  • @Sande.cheeks
    @Sande.cheeks Před 8 měsíci +14

    Story 5 really made me think.
    I am definitely the kind of mom that wants to do all the things for my kids (they are toddlers so a bit different), and I do experience burnout from time to time. I did have to lessen my load for my own sanity, and to stop being such a stressed out mom, my kids don’t deserve that, so I CAN see where the dad is coming from.
    HOWEVER, I was also the kid who had to get myself and my younger brother ready for school starting at the young age of 7, and didn’t see my mom until 6 pm. She was a single mom who had to work so I can’t blame her as an adult, but as a child, it was hard. Making breakfast, making our lunches, sometimes dinner, getting the house picked up, and my brother ready and out the door, sometimes at separate schools. If my parents were just laying in my bed while I did all of these things, I’d wonder why my mom/parents didn’t care enough for me to help.
    I think it’s important for kids to learn how to do things on their own, but at the same time, kids are only kids once, and then they’re adults caring for themselves and others for the rest of their lives.. I don’t think parents appreciate those mundane things they can do for their kids, until they’re moved out and the house is always clean, and you never have to cook breakfast, or get kids out of the house at a certain time. It’s a sad feeling that you don’t understand until it’s too late.

  • @allisonmora5007

    For story 5: I used to get ready for school alone everyday growing up, used to put the radio to have some company and that shit still hurts me everytime I think about it and i was a teenager 14-18, for me it sounds like the mom is tired of the dad being a shitty partner that doesn't care about the well-being of their kids, so if he have to wake up an hour earlier half of the week he would just give a bowl of cereal for breakfast to their kids 3-4 times in the week, resentment grows over time and it consume you to the point you are irritated most of the time over the same behavior that doesn't change, the guy prefers to make his kids watch TV for 8 hrs straight so he doesn't have to work on giving his kids something to occupy their minds besides tv, all I can hear is shitty husband/dad talking

  • @Sarahpeaches333

    For story number 5....I was a really independent child because I was an only child and my parents had to work a lot. My grades suffered, I had behavioral issues and I really wish I had a little more discipline growing up. I don't blame my parents one bit because as immigrants they had to go to work to provide. Now if my parents were home and chose not to be parents....that's different. He's the asshole and she's awesome. I feel for her.

  • @cerrisalyn
    @cerrisalyn Před 8 měsíci +55

    As far as the 1st story.. The experience she is imagining, and literally dreaming of, is so far removed/in the past, and layered with her current situation… I truly feel that she is tarnishing her current relationship, with someone that seems to really love her, for this idealized moment that can never actually be recreated. Especially with the added pressure she’s putting on it, possibly unknowingly… She’s literally destroying her partners memory of her and their love before she’s even gone..

  • @madisonwatson8889
    @madisonwatson8889 Před 7 měsíci +9

    story 5 - this story is crazy to me. my brother is 13, turning 14 in feb. and both of my parents wake up almost every morning, make breakfast, and drive him to school because they enjoy being able to spend the school mornings with him since it won’t always be this way! of course there are some days where they are busy and he has to make his own breakfast or take the bus but as a 13/14 year old, he is completely capable. 8,10,12… no way. i think dad is for sure in the wrong. mom is doing her best, asking for help from dad and he is only giving bare minimum, telling her to chill. dad is the asshole, he obviously doesn’t care about his family the way mom does.

    Story 5 the mom is setting her kids up for success with structure! Teaching them routine and responsibilities. I get that she may need to calm down here and there but the father needs to step up!

    My only comment for story 5 about the morning schedule. I'm a pretty independent kid and did everything on time alone, but my friend I went to school with has ADHD had no time management skills as a kid. Her mom had to tell her how much time she had to eat and keep making her eat and not get distracted. So I can sympathize with the mom not wanting the kids to be late to school and keep them focused.

I may be wrong though. I think that mom sounds like a really good attentive mom. I can't imagine leaving my kids to get up by themselves and leave the house without a word. Loved the collab though.

    Story 6: I don’t think that OP was an AH. She didn’t want children at the wedding in the first place. But because the parents were paying for the wedding, and they did, she made a compromise and had the “fake” wedding where the children were allowed to come. As predicted, it was a disaster, so she had another wedding tailored to what she wanted.

  • @deltaloraine
    @deltaloraine Před 8 měsíci +23

    The parent story is really tough because everyone has a different view on what parenting should look like. I think establishing a schedule, enacting discipline, and planning enrichment activities for young kids is important for raising them. Not every family looks and acts the same, so there really is no right answer. I just think that if the mom is the only one putting effort into these things (and OP just gets to be the “cool dad”), it’s no surprise she’s feeling burnt out. Parenting is, ideally, a partnership, so they really need to team up and find a compromise.
