Also a lot of american football players do ballet. It makes them better at the sport and faster. Not to mention ballet is a tough, physically demanding passion. Good for the uncle being a good man. By the way being a male dancer doesn't make you gay. Fred Astaire was a dancer and known womanizer. I rather a man be passionate about something legal and enriching then being a garbage can like the deadbeat.

Story 2: In Op's defense, this incident happened while they weren't home, it's likely son has only been doing it when his parents weren't home since the initial scolding and Op only knows about this one cause you can't exactly hide a broken 75" TV, so the ESH votes don't make sense to me. Son and his friends are 17 or around that age, they're perfectly old enough to know better, they're not toddlers, host rules be damned, friend broke it, friend pays for it, and Son can help since his friends are his responsibility when they're at the house

[@Koji-Alistair]

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking, and that one you're the asshole comment was just dumb the friend is just as much to blame as the son they were told multiple times not to play hockey in the house, yet they still when ahead and did it anyway, so I think the friend should shoulder some blame for breaking the TV and should help pay for it.

It doesn’t matter that he was cross dressing. If he had done that with Charlie’s underwear, it still would have been fucking creepy.

[@dracawyn]

Story 4: if your roommate wanted to experiment with crossdressing, it is incredibly easy to order clothes online. But he didn't do that. Because it's not just wearing any women's underwear that's fun or exciting to him. It's wearing, touching, and looking at YOUR underwear. And that's a huge breach of trust and boundaries and is super creepy.

[@romonaelrod7870]

The broken TV story if I had kids and they broke somebody's TV I would feel at least partially responsible and offer to pay for part of the replacement costs. All of the kids are at fault for playing hockey in the house. I think the fairest thing would be for all of them to chip in on it.

[@samuelwolch1302]

First story: NTA. That man has zero right to call himself the child’s father. He’s emotionally and verbally abusive, as well as proving he only wants the bragging rights of fatherhood without the actual responsibilities. What a crack. Edit: and homophobic. He’s homophobic and sexist too.

[@Park-Kim_VMin]

[@insideAdirtyMind]

being a ballet dancer has nothing to do with being gay, I know a ballet dancer who said: "I am with a ton of beautiful girls all day long, every man who does not see this is stupid af." Ballet dancers are extremly strong, so I don´t know what men like the brother keep telling themselves.

[@babybookworm003]

[@lily-zg6io]

If he wants to claim that ballet is feminine and that male feminity is gay (did someone call the 40s?) also male ballet dancer are super masculine and athletic, how do people think that they do all those high jumps, and are able to carry a whole human on one shoulder and making in look so gracious? Athletes they are I'm telling you! My best best friend does ballet, is gay, I do ballet and I'm gay (he's a guy, I'm not) and I bet he's more athletic than that bloke

[@Davtwan]

“I got an epiphany. I have to be involved in my child’s life and be a better father!” “Oh oops, turns out I’m a piece of shit in other areas too.” Some people are just too far gone for redemption. OP may have gone for the kill, but he needed to put his foot down that this is _not okay._ Yelling in front of the son might not have been so good, but I understand this is something that should not be sugar-coated. If OP is concerned about the son hearing stuff like this though, then future confrontations can be handled by being firm and stalwart. Having a confident and authoritarian voice can be a good substitute for a yelling and abrasive one (and can make you look badass).

[@heavenleigh2768]

James Dean, Patrick Swayze, Arnold Schwarzenegger and plenty of other athletes have taken ballet. It's physically demanding, it teaches discipline and is a great workout all together. The muscles that dancers have is unreal. Can't wait for people to stop seeing ballet as just girls in pretty pink tutus🙄

story 2: the son and the friend should pay. The parent might have disciplined the son but hoped as 17 year olds the boys would know better, and the parents were at work so they might have assumed they could get away with it. Even if it’s an accident, the person who did the damage still had to pay. That’s how car accidents work. That’s how it literally all works as an adult, like if I accidentally bump into an expensive vase at a store and break it, I pay for the vase. Especially if i’m already running around and bumping into things and just generally already being an idiot, then i’d still pay for the vase. The kid didn’t even apologize, how is he supposed to learn personal responsibility, even for accidents?

[@sltslt24]

That's my thing like he didn't even apologize, that just shows the kid is an AH that's not taking any responsibility

[@kerribottriell-baxter7345]

Last story: Hell no! NTA! He invaded your privacy. This has nothing to do with him cross-dressing, not at all, this is to do with him going in your space and taking something that wasn't his.

[@WolframKKM]

Story 4: Send him a bill and kick him out. That's so fucked up. This was a complete violation of your trust, privacy and friendship - the cross-dresssing consideration is completely irrelevant.

[@mothertrucker936]

We’re all saying cross dressing but could it be an infatuation with her? Idk much about these things but yeah he should pay up . I guess once he saw the camera he figured, busted anyways so I might as well enjoy. But what an invasion of privacy. My home was broken into years ago and I felt so violated and everything I owned felt dirty. Very hard to get over.

[@greyscalesx]

@@mothertrucker936 yes idk why everyone is talking about cross dressing. It has got nothing to do with it. She said they bonded because they shared traumatic experiences. And if he was a cross dresser even though he shared the most intimate things with her, he didn't tell her that. So that means he would be hiding clothings in his room, buy his own, even have a lock. Do everything he can not to get caught, since he wouldn't want her to know. Cross dressers are just into the disguise, most of them aren't trans and some are straight. It isn't about identity, it's about the fun, the rush, reinventing yourself, never about being a boundary less snooping pervert. It doesn't make sense for him the steal stuff even knowing that there was a fricking camera right there. He would do everything not to get caught instead he did everything to get at her things knowing he might be caught. It was pointing at her door so after realising this he probably thought they wouldn't what he did exactly in the room and thought of excuse he would use when they asked him about it and went back in the room. They shared intimate things and have a close relationship, he is probably in love or obsessed with her. This is what some people with obsessive behaviours do. They want to be as close as possible to the person, so they'll steak their stuff and wear their clothes. To be as close as possible to what said person is physical contact with, they feel as is the person is touching them too. That lock isn't gonna change anything about that. He needs therapy and she needs him to leave.

[@fcold9402]

2. What i heard is op never called the other kids parents but is somehow mad they didn't apologize for something they may not know happened.

[@sltslt24]

The parents texted op but she didn't want to text them since she was having a bad day and didn't know what's wrong. Either way I would still call the other parent and ask if everything is okay and apologize not ghost the other family

For story 4...I really don’t think it was about cross dressing. He was standing in OP’s bedroom and kept going back and forth before he dug around in the drawer (this time, I’m sure this isn’t the first).

[@WolfgangDoW]

The fact he came back again after spotting the camera is just a piss take too Throw the whole Tyler out, he buys a new drawer of undies and finds somewhere else to live. You shouldn't need a deadbolt on your bedroom door, don't let anyone past the front door you don't trust

[@MaryTheresa1986]

Last OP: NTA, but Taylor needs to go. Sue him for the cost of the panties and deadbolt, and tell him he needs to leave ASAP. I'd also file a police report and restraining order because this isn't about cross-dressing. If it were, Taylor would've purchased his own panties. He is becoming fixated on OP, and that could be dang. Never be alone with him, and end the friendship as soon as possible.

I went to Best Buy and bought the newest model of the camera he had, and then I went to him, explained what happened and apologized while presenting the new camera. To this day, that roommate and our other roommate say I’m one of the best roommates they’ve ever had. And it’s because I respected them and their property, and took responsibility when needed. A bit different from the story, but I’d say I was probably 19 when this happened so not too off in regards to maturity and ability to take accountability and responsibility .

With the first story you're not in the wrong I get the feeling that your brother pretty much knew automatically that the kid was going to come to him at some point to ask questions and he just said I rather just come back into his life and Pierre periodically then to have my whole family basically say he didn't want nothing to do with me. That being said you're not in the wrong but I also get the feeling that your brother doesn't want his son to have any femininity in him when it comes to doing something that his son actually enjoy. Not to mention the fact that his son in the eyes of him is still a stranger to him. He wants to be the father but he doesn't want his son to actually do something he enjoys and I promise you the moment that your sister-in-law gets out you need to tell her straight up that she needs to either go to parenting classes or he needs to sign his rights over altogether because I get the feeling that your brother will never want anything to do with your nephew because he's one of those people that just doesn't care about his son but cares about the image that his son will have if he continues ballet when he's older.

I was good for about a 5-10min chat, but they wanted to chat for an hour or so every time they saw me. Plus another neighbor who could see my yard from his apartment would come out and just loiter around but not really have anything to say, I guess he was socially awkward but it would make me uncomfortable.

I took them back and never mentioned it, glad I'm moving out in a month cus I've always felt uncomfy by the fact that he stole my sexy underwear and probably did something with them since he had to wash them. If I could I would have kicked him out right then.

Story 2: all kids should pay equally but that would be impossible to enact I think as at least some of the other parents would refuse. I also don't understand why OP never messaged and then expected a message?

[@LadyLeomon]

1) NTA, he’s the poor boy’s _sire_ at best, he’s never been a father and the kiddo deserves better! 2) ESH, your son is a teenager, old enough to know better but the other one’s attitude is so bad, I’ve half a mind to tell your kid to go to his house and break their TV just to a) make things even and b) proof the boy is full of crap! 3) NTA, they’re neighbours not friends and they’re being hella rude and need to take the bloody hint! 4) NTA, this is SUPER creepy and it’s the least he deserves, he should be grateful you don’t press charges ... which you totally should btw. Thanks for the new vid WaffleBoss 💙🐱💙

Yes he should replace them. If he is a good friend have a convo and take him shopping. My only concern is if he is a predictor and not just a cross dresser.

Given the roommate was putting on her underwear, I would 100% also get an STI test.

[@op665]

If a 17yo kid broke my tv I’d have both pay to replace! If the friend is a puss an tries to run out tell them you’ll sue. It doesn’t matter if you’re an innocent bystander your guilty by association. In short you broke it you bought it!!

[@immortalsofar5314]

Not in the same ballpark but while playing with my cousin as a kid, her shoe came off and broke a mirror. I just told my Mum I did it - it seemed simpler and I was used to getting yelled at. Kid did offer to replace it with a TV the same size. These guys insisted on paying for a ridiculously overpriced model so, yeah, a 17-year-old suddenly feels hard done by. 17 is _not_ nearly adult. It was the worst year of my life until my ex cheated on me so it sucks, you still do really stupid sh*t and have all the responsibility with none of the privileges. You're going to have to meet part-way here.

[@elkevermeulen7343]

Doing ballet was the most physically demanding hobby I ever did. I didn't have the talent for it though so I had to give up. I still believe it's one of the toughest things to do, if you are tough enough to be a professional dancer, no one should mock that and it has nothing to do with gender. And for gosh sake, let a kid enjoy things. Great job OP and his girlfriend

[@Kairos_Akuma]

The Hockeystory: How is OP TA exactly? They told their nearly adult Son to stop doing this shit and he did anyways. Also is the ESH Commentor out if his mind!? OP even said if the Friend that destroyed the TV apologized proper and assumed responsibility, OP would have been fine with it. And it's only fair that both Boys pay up, because that's how it works in the real world. Also treating that boy like he did a bad thing only? No he didn't but the rest STAYED and apologized And not shirk responsibility through their parents.

I think the son from story 1 should watch Billie Elliot. It might make him feel better.

That's a creepy dude in the last one I would get rid of him fast please do an update on the last one

[@johnmarco3857]

story 2 . . to me im betting the other parent has not even heard about it . mother was given her # to call or text and didnt and i dont see a 17 yr old ratting himself out when a call was never made. talk to the other mother before calling her names for something she has no clue about

[@HonorWillow]

Story 1: why would that matter if it could turn him gay??? I really hope the mum has a will or something to make sure that if she dies that man doesn't gets the kid

[@Lisapizzza]

You know we love your videos because it's hardly been 10 minutes and there are already 55 comments

[@florinaschilean6143]

1st: NTA, GF "turning him gay" or brother turning him to an AH like him? tough choice LOL... In every eventuality, if your SIL may pass away, make sure that AH won't become your nephew's main provider/example to follow. 2nd: NTA, son and his friend are responsible, they have to replace the tv together. however, OP is at fault for asking for a new tv set, since the tv was used, if OP wants a new one, (s)he will have to contribute to it with a third of the price too. 3rd: NAITA, with neighbors may be slightly TA. OP lacks communication skills/ is too shy/introvert? 4th: NTA, invasion of privacy and great breach of trust. he is no friend! Also, what he did amounts to theft.

[@9999plato]

The son knew better than to play in the house and did it anyway. The fact that his "Friend" didn't own up or apologize should show your son that he has shitty friends and that he is always responsible for the company he keeps. Son can work and pay back for the TV for not following the house rules. He might be more careful next time. He will also choose better friends next time.

[@SilentDecepticon]

1: OP should tell his trash brother that real men take care of their children. He lost the right to have any say in the boy’s life when he ran away like a coward. 2: The son is way too old to be playing ball in the house. He would definitely be expected to pay for a new TV (which should be way less than $1700, wtf). OP can talk to the friend’s parents about it to see what they want to do about this, which might be that they insist that their son get a job and pay for half of the cost, or they tell OP tough luck. 3: The neighbours sound annoying AF, even if they’re trying to be friendly. I understand just wanting to sit somewhere and relax. 4: He can cross dress all he wants, but he needs to buy his own clothes. Stealing undies from a friend is creepy and gross. It’s weird that he saw the camera and came back again. Maybe he figured he was caught anyway so might as well continue. I would not be comfortable having this guy around.

[@jacquiethebibliophil]

Not good at physics but it would be a lot of wt a male ballet dancer has to lift when a 120 lb ballerina hurls herself into his arms, which he then must lift over his head. Mega muscles. Mega strength. I loved the reference to Patrick Swayze, BTW. I remember him crying during an interview (Barbara Walters, I think) when he described the pain he went through via his dad and other family members.
