The story about the kids: they are going to get bullied hard when their friends find out they still sleep in mommy's bed. OP's wife is the issue, not the kids. She's having codependency issues with the kids. I would set an ultimatum. The kids sleep in their own bed, or we get divorced.

As a kid who found it really hard to stop sharing a bed with my parents or brother I was still almost never bed sharing by the time I was nine. When I was nine I only ever slept in the same bed with my parents or my brother if I had a nightmare or a really, really bad day. These kids are going to be completely emotionally stunted if not pressed to be more independent and stop relying on the constant comfort of their mother/sibling. Step dad definitely NTA

I went looking for this story, and there is a little note at the end of the story that was not included by the reader. wife and daughter are both on the spectrum, son is adhd. I don't think the son's is relevant, but the wife and daughter does put a new twist on it. I have a daughter with Autism myself, so I'm very familiar with many of the potential changes to expected life style one may need to make to address anything that comes up. It doesn't make OP in the wrong by any means, but it does provide additional perspective that OP probably needs to tackle this from a different angle. There is probably a gap in communication happening, and possibly some other dependencies going on that are little more difficult to address. That said, they do need to be addressed, keeping in mind where on the spectrum each person is at. Without knowing this, it is hard to consider what the proper course of action is, and it would also provide context for whether anyone in the family is simply just catering to atypical behaviors, or addressing them. If things are being catered to, it can actually be harmful, even if it appears at face value to be helpful. That said, it would say it is somewhat telling how little OP values this aspect in that it was a side note at the very end of the story, more of an afterthought, when it is actually the biggest aspect of the situation to address when it comes to finding a solution.

[@sheila-bk8ds]

Kids used to share beds with siblings. I did until she joined the navy at 19. My momma share with her sister and brother. If that was the 1920s and 39's. My daddy shared with 4 brothers. Except when sick did I sleep with momma. And that ended when I was 8 or so. Not stunted but after 1yo should be in it's own bed.

Story 3: It's going to be a SHOCK for the kids when their peers, be they friends or future partners, learn of what is considered "normal" by their Mom's family of origin. If it's discovered by classmates it will be a teasing field day, if it's a partner this could be something that they'd find creepy enough to be a deal breaker. Story 5: If the Dad is ENCOURAGING this behavior, which seems to be the case with lines like "they should only get you the best," the nephew is going to find himself with DAMN few people attending his future birthday parties unless he's got a lot to offer them. Seriously this would seem bratty to most, & will only attract the most transactional "friends" who'd expect some level of "tit for tat," & unless the OP's family is in a position to at least have that as a carrot in the future, (via politics or business,) that is going to be one very lonely kid. Story 6: You summed it up, that just eating the toppings makes the remaining "pizza" just vaguely tomato-ish bread. That's just ruined pizza, so OP's BF is right to say it's ruined. It is perhaps overreacting to not be okay with ordering a new one, but damn that's inconsiderate.

Story 1: Wow, OP's mother isn't even subtle about her entitlement or lack of intelligence; she keeps calling it *HER* day. It's not *HER* day, if anything, it's OP's day (as well as their wife's of course). This is not *her* day, this is not something *she* has the right to complain about, technically it's not even really any of her business - she's involved because OP and their wife chose to involve her, and they can just as quickly choose to un-involve her, and all she can do (and from the sounds of it, would do) is complain.

Back in 2000 I had a c-section with my first child. My mil came that very day and proceeded to make herself at home. I had had some friends come for a short visit. They understood that I was still recovering. Mil didn't care. I had the curtains closed as the bright sunlight was hurting my eyes. I was also very warm so I had the air conditioner on. Mil came in, set down her bags and then proceeded to make my hospital room comfortable... for herself. 😮 she shut off the air conditioning entirely and flung the curtains wide open. I was furious. We were paying for this room and everything, not her. She really had no right to do all that. I got up and painfully hobbled to the air conditioner to turn it back on and then shut the curtains again. After that I turned to her and just glared straight into her eyes. She was in a huff and stomped her way into my bathroom. She locked herself in and stayed there for at least 35 minutes. I rolled my eyes and was glad she was out of sight. No one went to check on her or try to get her to come back out. When she came back out she just shouted "well I know when I am not wanted!" And stormed out. My mouth dropped open. I couldn't believe this much older woman was acting this way. I know it was her first grandchild but still. I was glad she left but hated feeling like I was the jerk...

It was sad as my mom lived over 2000 miles away and MIL was close by so that my son would have a grandma... thankfully he also had her mother, his great grandmother, nearby and she was a lovely soul. I still miss her to this day. My son was named after her late husband. She loved that so much. MIL would still see him now and then but I refused to go with him and his dad. I think that day one of the big issues was that I never said no or disagreed with her in all the years before my son was born. After my son was born though the rules changed and I put my foot down.

Story 3: The first time I heard it all I got was that the boy is nine and he's still sleeping in his parent's bed. The second time.. they're thirteen and nine? Unless they're both developmentally delayed, have major anxiety issues, or something else is going on they are both beyond the age of it being normal that they want to sleep with mummy every night. They need to be told to sleep in their beds and to respect the fact that mum and dad also need their own space and privacy. Once in a blue moon after a nightmare is one thing, but every night? And the fact the wife thinks it's okay that the kids take up so much room her own husband is left with no room to sleep? She has no respect for him, nor his boundaries. Maybe he should seek a therapist for the kids and one for them as a couple. This isn't normal nor healthy for relationship dynamics.

That’s true. The OP is the stepfather so the police are more likely to look at him instead of his wife, the kids’ biological mother. Nine years old is too old for a boy to be sleeping in his parents’ bed. I think the thirteen-year-old girl can get away with sleeping in the same bed as her mother if it’s just the two of them.

[@skylerlightning4620]

3rd story I feel like this have to be address, if your doctors advising you sleep on memory foam mattress due injury than it become way more problem if you can’t as that may end up making injury much worst. If injury had force you take time off work than you won’t be able go back to work if injury become permanent due not following doctors orders. Which mean you have to find a new job to support yourself and family which may make things way harder since be looking for completely different type of job than you previously worked.

At some point when I was talking to my brother I noticed the food was taking a while, so I gently went up to the cashier asking how long our order would take only to find out that it was accidentally dropped, despite the cashier weakly apologizing, I assured them it wasn’t a big deal because I could understand the stress they went through because of working at summer camp (which requires customer service).

Entitled mother…. First story… narrator sounds like one of Adam Sandlers voices lol. Love it

[@C0rran05]

Dear Am I the Jerk, you left out an important note at the end of the story (story 3), where it is revealed the mother and daughter have autism. As a father with a daughter on the spectrum, I ask that you not ignore such comments as it trivializes the condition. This is the single most important part of the conflict and the number one thing that needs to be addressed to resolve it properly. The fact that OP left it until a side note at the end shows that he also has trivialized it's impact, and while that doesn't make him an outright jerk, it also means that at the very best he is in neutral territory. He needs to educate himself a little more to understand autism, and then make sure he and his wife are actually on the same page in this conversation instead of assuming it, because when it comes to someone with autism, this can be very easy to do and never even realize it unless you specifically address it.

[@darkwarriormaster9644]

When and where did you find out that both the mother and the daughter are autistic?

My Mother said her daughter having a kid on her birthday was the best gift ever.

[@hinarahyuga1684]

Im on the story about the kids who can't sleep alone for some stupid reason. My thoughts are that no one is the asshole the step dad just didn't speak up until he got so mad about it that he blew up and now everyone in the family things he's an ass, the best fix for this is for them to get a big bed for one of the kids rooms and then if the mom wants to sleep with her kids and coddle them she can go ahead and do that.

I heard the third story, and all I could think of was “SCUSE YOU?” In my house that’s backhanded slap worthy

[@alpha-sama]

Story 3: This is unhealthy behavior, the kids and the mother seemingly have a case of codependancy. Kids regularly sleeping with their mom at ages 13 and 9 is wrong, but that aside, OP should not have to give up his bed for that. Story 5: OP is a better parent than the actual parents. I suspect that the parents aren't just enabling this kid's behavior, they're the ones who likely caused it by being crappy people. Story 6: I don't get why you would specifically eat the toppings unstead of just another slice. The boyfriend is right, you ruined the rest of the pizza that way. Though I do think it was unreasonable of him to remain mad even after you offered to buy him a new pizza, that was mature on your part.

For that second story. I think at some point I may have had to go to HR or something and go and I am concerned why I’ve got another employee tracking the amount I drink and go to the bathroom to tattle on me to my boss. It’s not affecting my work, so why does it matter how much I drink it’s not her space.

[@eddy_bee]

Story 3 to me is tricky, personally i wouldnt have kids co sleeping that long but part of that story that rubs me the wrong way it that it seems very sudden for the needs to change. He was fine with it when he was working nignts, got injured and itls now trying to put a hard stop. He is disrupting everyone elses routines. Not saying he isnt entitled to sleep in his own bed but there kinda needs to be an adjustment period especially if this has been the kids notmal for months if not years...

[@darkwarriormaster9644]

Aside from all the other issues, the OP is also dealing with a back injury.

[@WoodenRailwayWonderland]

Final story. Please tell me that everyone saying that OP is the jerk is just joking please cause this is ridiculous. If you’re being serious. It’s just toppings off of some pizza and anyway she offered to buy him another one. Why would you still be mad at someone after they offered to amend their mistake and then not accept it so you can still be mad? Please can someone and at least the narrator clarify that this is a joke.

[@royal-wolf]

9 and 13 are way too old to be sleeping in bed with mommy still. By grade school, the kids should be able to sleep on their own for the most part. There is wiggle room and exceptions, but by first grade, they should be fine

Bro I did it until I was in fifth grade because of my weeny ahh being scared shitless in the dark back then

She essentially ate the entire pizza without actually eating it. Its like eating all the insides of a sandwhich and leaving the bread, all ripped up for the next person.

[@apensalesman]

Story 3: yeah no unless its a cultural thing and not in the US, thats weird. Especially if the kids dont have development issues. By at least kindergarten we always slept in our own beds unless we got really sick or something. And then my folks would set up like a spare mattress or air mattress bed in their room for us to sleep on incase we needed something. If we heard a fellow 9 or 13 year old was still sleeping with their mom? Oh boy that would've been a field day at school...

[@alias-majik]

If I were an adult in that situation and found out I'd probably report it to CPS. The only time I've ever heard about kids that old still sleeping in beds with adults was when there was abuse going on.

The nine-year-old reaction is what gets me. Does he have some kind of developmental disorder? He’s having a meltdown. Every time he’s told to go sleep in his own bed. Something I have been doing since at least age 5, most likely longer. Sleeping in my own bed, not having meltdowns.

Good for OP for the malicious compliance. Pity the bad manager was promoted, but it's good the new manager is a good one. 3) It is time for the kids to learn to grow up and for OP's needs to be considered. Not a jerk. The grandparents are out of line. I think some marriage counseling might help with this situation, but if not, I honestly think it's time OP reconsider this relationship. 4) I feel sorry for anyone having to deal with someone like that. 5) Good for OP for not enabling this horrible behaviour. I'm glad it's not an empty threat but a promise. Not a jerk. Those parents are awful and raising am entitled monster. 6) If this was a pizza for two, why would OP think it's ok to just eat the toppings off the leftovers without checking if her boyfriend was expecting to eat more later. This was a jerk thing to do.

I totally understand the one about the pizza. I had a fried who would eat all the toppings leaving the crust and sauce. Once her boyfriend made a frozen pizza for her because she said she was as hungry. When he took the pizza out it was perfect the crust was a perfect golden brown the cheese was just the right consistency I mean everything perfect so he brought a couple of pieces out to her asking her to please eat the crust and everything because of how perfectly made it was and she did he wasn’t hungry yet and went into the office to get some work stuff done when he came back out for some of the pizza all the toppings were gone all that was left was the sauce and crust when he confronted her about it she was all like “oh I’m sorry did you want some’ and he was a bit mad so yeah totally get it

I was told this by a Nurse Practitioner/midwife… Entitled Grandmother (GM) was delighted to learn of her DIL’s pregnancy. She began to make delivery day plans. This was during Covid times so the Mother to be was allowed only to have one person in delivery. GM’s plan was to invite several of her female friends to watch the birth. She was given the facts by the Hospital. She went ballistic. Then she insisted that her Son could not be the one in delivery. It was woman’s time. No men allowed. Full filming of the birth was planned. The DIL didn’t want GM in the room. She wanted her husband. Moreover, GM was a firm CV-19 denier. Neither the Mom to be or Dad to be were not going to have GM to any baby contact until the infant had greater immunity.
