  • r/AmITheA**hole In today's episode, OP is the breadwinner in the family and her husband doesn't work. Her husband wants to go golfing with his buddies, but OP insists that they need to save money to fix their broken roof. So instead of accepting her answer, the husband decides to steal $6,000 from his wife's account to buy expensive golf clubs for a weekend getaway with the boys. When OP finds out and confront her husband, he tries to argue that she's being abusive and is controlling her life. WTF?

We also do not know what country they are from not the background of what was occurring, otherwise.

      I agree that this father is the real AH. He sounds like a petty, stingy, immature, authoritarian jerk. Everything in this post recks entitlement and tells me he’s controlling and manipulative. Then he tries to spin things his way to get what he wants and throws a toddler tantrum when it doesn’t work. Just like what he attempted in this post.
      (I’m pretty sure his ex and daughter laughed in his face when he made that demand and told him good luck in court.)

      Well it was already unfair for him to punish her for “not having respect for her family” because she didn’t text. He didn’t even care about or even bother to mention her reasoning, you shouldn’t force someone to like or communicate with their family, especially when it seemed like she never “cut off contact”. She texted them. Just not as much as he wanted, and so he took it out on her. And then telling the other child that Aria “doesn’t love us” is fucked up when that’s not even true. The post is trying to demonize a child after the parents were entirely in the wrong. We are only hearing this story from one side. We don’t know what actually went down or what actually goes on at the mothers’ house. It’s weird how he’s trying to paint this horrible picture of his teen daughter. Why would he try to make her pay the debt to him?!?!

      Same. I'm kinda in a similar situation with my fiance. I have a job and all but I'm super bad with money so all of it goes to her since I cannot be trusted. I don't really trust myself at all. I kinda have a history of over spending and stuff without meaning to. So if she says we don't have it then we don't have it. I'm not currently living with her or anything yet but we will hopefully soon. So basically anything that isn't for bills goes to her. And when we live together I'm just gonna flat out give it to her because I am not to be trusted. So I can't imagine stealing money like that at all.

      @Idiot_Juice Před 2 lety +4

      while im not defending the dad in the story, the daughters actions are so similar to what my sister was like when my parents split. my dad's mentally and emotionally abusive and my mum much less so (mostly a result of the ptsd of being controlled by him for 23+ years), and yet when they separated my sister chose to stay with my dad, because he was still living in the nice family home near the beach while mum was forced to rent a 2 bedroom unit/townhouse until that home could be sold and assets divided. he also let her get away with and even at times enabled her drinking, smoking weed, and going to 18+ festivals, all while she was 15-16 years old. she wasnt spared from his abuse, and would at times complain or even come crying to mum and i about him, but never chose to outright stop living with dad. in her words she would "manipulate him as much as he'll try to manipulate (me)".
      ill agree that the dad in the story saying to his other child that the daughter doesnt love them anymore is a very manipulative and very fucked up thing to say. but my mum also said some horrible things to my brothers when they wouldnt believe her about our dad's abuse and would even gaslight us. shes not a manipulator, and shes not a narcissist like my dad. shes a parent who said stupid shit to kids in a dark time, and i doubt theres a parent out there who hasnt. my mums no saint and i doubt the dad in this story is either. but if were to believe his claims that the mother is enabling the daughters behaviour, then im inclined to believe that the daughter did indeed choose to live with the mother just because it suited her needs better, much like my sister stayed with my dad.

    • @Idiot_Juice
      @Idiot_Juice Před 2 lety +3

      after re-listening to the story i wanna add: the dad has a younger daughter that hes still caring for, and yet the mother and daughter are demanding he still pay child support after she's turned 18?? i looked up the laws and seems like depending on the state (assuming america here) it can continue to 21, or continue if the kid still attends highschool and lives at home (not the case, the daughter was stated to have finished by 15yo), or as a college support. in other cases it can be a matter of no action being taken to have payments cut off, leaving the payee still legally obligated to keep making payments.
      again, its unclear whether the father has let the payments go on and then demand them back out of pettiness, or if its a case of the mother and daughter trying to squeeze pennies out of him. i will say that this part is still relevant to my own experiences, as my dad did his damndest to drag money out of my mum. its in the 5 digits at this point.
      from committing tax fraud to make his income seem lower than hers on paper, to arguing that since my sister was younger and still attending school that he should get more money despite me being a disabled dependent at the time (16 and with my mum, sister 15 and with dad, brothers weekabout with each parent), to lying about the amount of time per week my sister was even living with him once i moved out a year later so he could get even more money (she spent half her weeks with friends or her boyfriend), to feeding my 11-12yo brothers lies about custody and court proceedings and claiming that my mum was harassing him for money (it was the other way around) so they would hate her and want to stay with him, which ended up happening. my dad didn't pull his punches and dragged her to family court and family counselling over and over, but refused to get an actual legal childcare arrangement put in place because he knew at that point i would insist the courts interview me and id put him on blast. i was so eager to be put in front of a judge and ream him out to a courtroom but sadly i never got that chance.
      again my point is this shit can get really complicated from an outsiders perspective and those not intimately aware with most of the details surrounding child support and custody and the actual people involved shouldnt pass such cut and dry judgement.

He grounded his daughter for not sending HIM messages during her school trip, tried to gaslight it as "It shows you don't love your family", and tried to block her from going to a party;
    Also the whole "if you go to a friend's house, they need to come here the next time or else no way". No wonder she doesn't have many friends with such a stupid rule. Also, if my abusive father went all "Well sweetie, before we solve our differences, you have to pay me back what I rightfully had to pay you by law", I would be like "Okay them, bye, don't count with me to visit or talk to you ever again, not even at your funeral".

I shouldn't be forced to pay for a child I don't even know any more. Aria hasn't earned my money, she is living comfortably at her mother's house and sees me as an ATM, and I'm not willing to pay not even a penny. I'm planning to take this to higher courts, and all expenses on lawyers will be added to her debts. I told Aria that she could come live with me and we could forget about the debt, but she still chooses to live with her mother. She says she needs time to live with me again and she wants to go slow, but she's an adult and would certainly go live with her boyfriend without going slowly? Or even a friend. She wants everything while giving nothing in return. So if she's not even willing to come back to live with me, the debt will still be up."

      They are over seas. If it was a school trip to another part of the country than yeah its absurd. But to another country? Where you cant just drop everything you are doing and go to your child. Yeah. Expecting them to message regularly isn't over the top. That is pretty normal.
      The only thing that might be over the top is how much he demanded her to text him. Twice a day is perfectly fine. Atleast nice a day to make sure she is fine at the end of every night. If your daughter is missing for 48 hours in another country you'll likely never see them again. If they are missing for 24 you have a slight chance.
      Complaining about the requirement to text while in another country is idiotic. Do you think it is reasonable to not be contacted once during the trip? Because if so I have to say your a bad parent.

      About the friends: We don't know their role. i would agree to cutting them off, if they pressured the man into getting new equipment. but from the story, i only understood that those are some golf enjoyers who tend to play golf with him, that's reasonable. The husband should stop comparing himself with them, that's for sure

      I hope that Aria maintained secret contact with her sister, even if it is a half sister/step sister and had built up a relationship and told her that she didn't leave because she didn't love her. I have a friend who was kept from her siblings by her abusive mother (her father had custody of her). They all created secret Facebook and other social media accounts and kept in contact. They even managed to visit with one another a few times when they could sneak away, and went to cafes. However, if not, then I don't blame Aria in the slightest. If she broke contact with an abusive person, then sometimes that means cutting off contact with those closest to that person... even if that person is your sibling.

I would even make eye contact so that person knew I knew they were ready and was choosing not to go over. You know why? Because that sounds like the type of entitlement that wouldn’t tip me anyway.

  • @Arkryal
    @Arkryal Před 2 lety +8

    The second story, I feel bad for the guy. He's just clueless and insecure and looking to blame everyone but himself for his obvious failures in life.
    First, at 15, if a parent has done their job properly, there doesn't need to be a "strict" parent. At that age, they comprehend morals and ethics, they understand consequences, they know what's expected of them. At 15, barring some severe cognitive disability, they don't need a parent holding the reigns anymore. A good parent will back off, give their kid some freedom, knowing full well they will make some mistakes (and hopefully learn from them), and provide guidance and support from a discreet distance. He's treating a 15 year old like a 7 year old. He's just a bad parent. At 15, she's training to be a self-sufficient adult, not training to be a good daughter. This guy just needs that control because he's clearly very insecure.
    Second, he punished her because she called her mom to check in and not him? Funny thing about phones, they work two ways. He could have called her. This had nothing to do with the lack of communication, and she did check in with a parent, so she was compliant with the terms he set for her. This is because she fulfilled his demands on her own terms, not his. That wounded his fragile ego, and as the insecure often do, he over-reacted, imposing punishment for a perceived slight, in the misguided belief that punishment = authority = respect. If you want respect, that comes from communication, patience and integrity. At any point, he could have sent a text message saying "Hey, just reminding you to call me, as we agreed. Hope you're having fun." Instead he elected to stew over it and plot a punishment.
    And while this guy is clearly asshole enough that no reasonable person would want to live with him (Just the parts he admits to establish that, though I suspect this rabbit hole goes a lot deeper), It's awfully narcissistic to assume she chose to live with her mother PURELY out of spite for him, as if there were no other factors. Her mother lives closer to her school. She can visit friends and build other relationships while at her mother's house. A young lady may benefit from having a female role model around, and a mother could likely empathize with her in ways that would elude even the best fathers. He assumes her actions are vindictive because that's all he understands. He believes everyone perceives the world and responds to it the same way he does. If you believe everyone else in the world is racist, you're probably the racist. If you believe everyone else is an asshole, you're probably the asshole. And if you believe everyone is petty and vindictive, guess what....Call it karma if you like. You reap what you sow. Even if your unjust actions are not directly returned to you, it will feel as though they are because you never developed the capacity to experience things any other way.
    And FFS... Court-mandated child support is NOT a loan, lol. She doesn't need to repay that money. He's old enough to have a daughter in her early 20's. By that age (at least in the US) $18k is not supposed to be a lot of money. It's a lot of money for a young girl in college, but chump change for an adult. That's not even enough for a shitty car, lol. Why is this his line in the sand? If it's on principle, as he claims, then he's the one putting money ahead of his family. But I suspect he's just strapped for cash and desperate. He's a loser. Maybe it's drugs, alcohol, gambling, perhaps he's just too stupid or insufferable to hold a real job, but he needs money and will resort to guilting it out of his own children with cheap and transparent manipulation tactics. It's just sad.
    She didn't abandon him, she escaped him. And he's not even capable of understanding that.

      OP griping about having to pay child support makes me wonder if he refused to pay when his daughter fled his house to go to the safety of her mother's. However, if OP lives in a jurisdiction or a country where you've got to pay financial support to your children until they are finished their post secondary studies, that could also be why he's got to pay more money as well.
      However, I suspect that it's back child support payments that OP has to pay because he seems like he's the sort of toxic, manipulative, and abusive AH that would refuse to financially support his child because he feels like he's punishing his child for leaving him.

    Any man who would spend $6000 on himself before his kids is trash. Fix your house, keep your kids safe, get a job, do not spend money you don't have. Period.

    The bell at a restaurant!! Oh hell no. I’ve been a waitress for 15 years and this is NOT ACCEPTABLE at all. I’m American. We can’t stand people who do that crap. We are your server, NOT your SERVANT!!

    If I worked in a restaurant and someone was ringing a bell for me, I would purposefully take LONGER to get to them.

    "Of course she prefers her mother, because I am the more strict parent mimimimimi"
    No, she doesn't like you, because your rules are shitty. Rules are about learning responsibility. Something like cleaning your room, helping in the house, coming home at reasonable hours if the next day is a schoolday.
    Forbidding her to see her friends, if their parents don't want to drive around to your house is stupid. What did she do wrong in this situation, what is she supposed to do? Force the other parents? Steal your car and drive herself so you don't "have to drive her"?
    And than grounding her for doing nothing. She was at a trip WITH SCHOOL, for just FIVE DAYS, she send a couple of text and you call that "forgetting her family"? Thats a completely reasonable way of communicating for a 15 year old. She wasn't even partying with friends or whatever, she was on a school trip, gosh.
    And the punishment is to not go to a popular girls party she's been invited to - although she had already been punished and grounded. Yeah, that's how you make sure she won't be invited again and people in school will have something to pick on her. Good job, wow.
