[@rachel5399]

Right. I feel like shes definitely talked about it to them before and they don't do anything because he's "the baby." Being depressed is a genuine factor to consider, but he has to learn that his mess affects others, especially someone whom you share a bathroom with! That's just teaching him to willfully be inconsiderate. I feel like if you've never truly had to live with someone like that, you don't understand the constant and overwhelming frustration, especially when you go out of your way to not only have a clean space for yourself, but for the other person(s) involved. He's going to have a hard time in relationships. I bet their mom has to do all of the chores. They obviously have favoritism, and i know that for a fact because she's the first born daughter, and he's the "baby" son. So cringe how often that is the case. I honestly don't even feel like what she did was that bad. Having to live with someone who has no care or consideration for you and your space is very emotionally draining, and eventually, they're going to lash out in anger because that's all you've left them with. They tried being considerate, and asking nicely. They've tried being firm and stern. You get what you give, and honestly, his friends, who very well might become his roommates in a few years, deserve to see how their friend treats a shared space. Idk. I don't think it was that harsh. He's 15. He can get a learner's permit to drive, get a job, and vote in 3 years. He can start picking up after himself. That's pathetic, the amount of apathy that he has for their shared space, especially a bathroom, where one has to be a lot. Ain't no way I'm feeling bad for a 15 year old that can't wipe the pee of the seat, or get a piece of toilet paper and wipe his hair out of the sink. I was very depressed at 15, like I feel most 15 year olds are, and I was never doing nasty, inconsiderate things like that that you learn at 5 to correct.

[@khaleesireyna731]

Hey I want to give another perspective with the first story. A lot of times Girls are treated like a second mom while brothers are treated like babies that are helpless. We’ve all heard it “boy will be boys, boys mature slower, boys are messy etc . Y’all saying maybe the brother has depression. (Excusing harmful behavior because of mental illness is a whole other issue) but maybe he’s been raised in a way that he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Maybe that’s why the parents don’t step in because just like Mac they believe it’s “normal”behavior. Maybe the sister has been told she has to clean while her brother continues to make the mess. Maybe the parents have put her in a position in which she feels like it’s her job to correct the behavior.

[@breannastrickland2393]

This is a great point! That’s very accurate

I work as a life insurance salesman. A 5mo's life insurance costs less than $10 a month. And it's main purpose is that when the kid is an adult they automatically qualify for 75k in life insurance at lowest possible cost no matter how their health turns out between being 5mo to later in life. It's less than $10 a month to guarantee they'll be able to get it later in life even if they get diagnosed with disqualifying illnesses. Also there's a cash value to life insurance. When kid turns 18 they'll get a good chunk of what you paid into it back for college. For kids, life insurance is about securing their future not their death. It lowers their bills in the future and gives them some money for college

[@willamccartney]

good shit to know thank you

[@bch7905]

I was gonna say that redditor's response clearly showed they had no idea what they were talking about. "How is it investing for your daughter?" Uh actually if you can afford the life insurance it's a GREAT investment, arguably better than a trust fund. My parents gave me life insurance when I was an infant, I took over the payments when I became an adult, and now I feel secure enough that there is a rainy day fund, help for education or a even a house, and/or later passing on inheritance. The earlier you can get insurance, the better! ETA: I didn't read the OP replies to the post, redditor comment is valid IF the policy turns out to be a scam, which is unfortunately possible esp these days. Early life insurance only works if it's...yknow...legit.

[@autisticnation7140]

I think the life insurance on the baby is actually smart ... my parents did it for me as a child and after some time the insurance itself started paying for itself and would have saved me ever buying any (if my dad hadnt let it laps). We are low income and it was just for the off chance of death. which would have been over 10k funeral expense during emotionally traumatic event

I love parents who start a life insurance policy early. Not only do they usually set their kids up for success, by the time they're an adult it will pay for itself, and you'll be setting up their future family in worst case scenarios.

[@Froghart_02_22]

Just listened to the first story and this is totally a fucked up situation on all ends. Is she wrong for taking action? No. She deserves a clean space and that’s nasty. Did she choose the correct action? Absolutely not. She definitely should have handled it better. Honestly I’m shocked it didn’t solve the problem though Alright I’m on the last story: I think life insurance for a baby is a good idea honestly. She’s right, death can strike at any moment. It’s brutal, yes, but honestly? It’s awesome to be prepared. You don’t HOPE your 5 month old is going to die soon, but in the even that they do, that money is going to be incredibly helpful, especially if they do end up having to plan an early funeral. No parent wants to bury their child, and that money can help them focus of grieving rather than the money to pay for their funeral. Story time: one of my friends died in a car accident, she was 18. They had to make multiple fundraisers to pay for it. They couldn’t even grieve properly because they had to focus on paying for everything. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have life insurance from the start. It’s LIFE insurance, not death insurance 🤷‍♀️

[@dolphinbanana3053]

Honestly on the first one I see why she did what she did but like that's messy as shit

1.) It didn’t solve the problem because we have no idea why the brother is being this dirty. Is it careless or is something actually going on with him? 2.) Punishments like this hardly ever works to correct behavior and possibly can make it worse.

[@CanadianPineapplesandPizza]

But the main reason why people are so weirded out by the life insurance thing is because why is that the first thing the woman thinks of when thinking about her child possibly dying really early on?? Most people are not worried about money when their child literally dies, they’re worried about funeral arrangements, breaking the news to family and friends, etc. For a lot of people (including myself) it comes off as if she only cares about money. And also (like it’s said in the video), there are better ways to invest in your child’s future than a fucking life insurance. On another note actually, how do you even explain that to the life insurance companies? Do you just go “ah yes we’d like to apply our literal 5 month old kid for life insurance”

As the eldest daughter with a younger brother I really felt for the first girl, she handled it wrong but like I get it.

6:03 Honestly, while OP is the AH her parents are the problem here. I have three siblings and we currently only have one bathroom. One bathroom shared by SIX PEOPLE. If my older brother (23) leaves his facial hair in the sink he gets his told off. If I (21) leave my floss on the sink I get told off. If anyone leaves used razors lying around they get told off. If the youngest (14) leaves his clothes on the floor he gets told off. I don't care if your kids are teens or full ass adults they don't get to dirty up a shared living space. Period. Be the parent. What if the 15-year-old has depression? Get. Him. Help. Once again this is on the parents for not recognising their son's filth as an issue.

[@aidendaniels4063]

First story let me tell you I'm 32 years old and i have to clean up after my 70 year old dad who REFUSES to flush when he pees, or even lift the damn toilet seat. uses my razors, my shampoo, my soap effectively everything that is in teh bathroom and leaves it a damn mess. I've been taking care of this man since i was 10, and my parents have been married for almost 50 years now and he's been this way since the beginning. If you dont snip that behavior in the bud when they're young. they aint never gonna grow out of it. so I dont blame the sister.

[@MoistCrumpet]

In regards for the first situation, I completely understand why the girl is fed up. If my brother treated our bathroom like that I would be really pissed off as well. She summed it up pretty well - how his bedroom looks is none of her business, but the bathroom is her business since they share it. He does need to be taught a lesson and learn how disgusting his behaviour truly is. But the way that his sister went about trying to teach him a lesson wasn’t right. She kinda was the asshole, but so was her brother.

[@zoex3316]

[@zoex3316]

Why weren’t they saying anything about the bathroom 😭😭😭

[@hopsymopsy8352]

The bedroom still honestly counts as her business too tbh since dirty dishes will attract bugs and mice into the home cuz of the food plus the possibility for mold. I'm living a similar situation with my brother and while it may have not been the best way to go about it you have to take into perspective her brother clearly isn't listening to her, her parents aren't doing anything, and she seemingly has no power in the household so the only way reasonably would be to show it to people who's opinions he does care about. Sucks for him but ultimately it's his own fault.

[@erianle123547]

Bruh, the Gerber Grow Up Plan is amazing, it can be used for a college fund, to help pay for a down-payment on a house, and even as life insurance if your child dies. It can also be upgraded when the child becomes an adult, allowing them to maintain their insurance throughout their life. It's probably the best option out there unless you got lawyer money.

It's been to the point where we've had roaches accumulating over the house because dirty dishes and trash is left everywhere. I understand the world itself has bigger problems, but whenever i tell you I have a whole side of unpacked trauma and anger from all of their weight of not doing BARE MINIMUM CHORES put onto me because i'm the girl??? It's deadass a miracle i didn't burn the house down idk. It is every human being's responsibility to clean up after themselves. Even with mental illness like yes i have bad weeks where it gets pretty messy, but that's why you get help or find a way to regulate bare minimum self care so it never gets to be a real issue.

On the 1st one everyone sucks. I think the parents suck the most though. If they had stepped up and acted as parents she wouldn't have needed to go nuclear. When you share space, you clean up after yourself. Male, female, nonbinary, any age, it does not matter. You might help the little ones, but it is the rule of a healthy society. By doing nothing they are forcing her to live in filth, take on unhealthy gender roles, or to fight back. She fought back, but being 16, didn’t choose the best way. Parents are absolutely the AHs here though. 3rd story: i am a very picky eater. When i went to Indonesia as a teen i did struggle to find food that was not too spicy for my wimpy tongue. I ate what i could though, was grateful, and apologized profusely for being a wimp. I was desperate not to offend. I still probably could have done better, but i never would have just poured store bought American sauce on the food. That feels only a tiny step up from spitting on it. 4th story: i am pro life insurance. I didn't die, but i became chronically ill at 12. I can't imagine how expensive life insurance would be for me now at 37. I can't even afford to check. I would make sure it was a reputable plan, but if i could afford it, i would invest in a life insurance policy for my baby 1000%.

[@laurenk94]

The only one I can personally speak on is the life insurance one (my dad’s been teaching life insurance for 20+ years). Idk where the poster is from, but in my country, it’s cheaper to give your kids life insurance when they’re young before they have any issues that aging brings. My parents got life insurance on my brother and I when we were toddlers and it was stupid how cheap it was because we didn’t have any pre-existing conditions and aren’t usually what insurance companies are looking to cover. So it was only a couple bucks a month and, at least with the policy I have, the price didn’t grow as I aged, so I don’t have to pay some egregious amount of money every month.

[@jimjimjimmy7793]

People live in there own world

[@annabelledrake2027]

I know people who have life insurance at like 18-21. When you have a parent that depends on you because of their health, it makes sense to make sure that they have support in case something happens and you can no longer be there for them. The intention of life insurance is to make sure that if someone dies and they have people who depend on them to live, that those people aren't completely ruined by losing the person they depended on, the way people used to get absolutely ruined when the breadwinner of the family died. So kids don't need life insurance unless their parent depends on them either for physical aid or financially.

[@samg6940]

Maybe on the surface that should be the case, but dying in modern times is far more expensive than a lot of people can afford. When a sudden unexpected death is going to put thousands of dollars worth of strain on a family, it makes sense to ensure that everyone has a life insurance policy

[@lizzyrank5405]

I mean, id say to keep up on that. Kids should so funerals can be paid, but also, when they get older, they then already have life insurance and won't have to worry. All the parents(good ones) will just have to give custody to the kids when they are older.

[@bch7905]

Also life insurance payments for an infant is significantly cheaper than for an adult, you save a lot of money early on. I've had it since I was a baby and I took over the payments when I turned 19. I now have the option to cash out some if I need it while I'm living or save until I'm old and I can pass it on as inheritance or funeral costs. And yes it can also be used for education!

[@Cr3Ek_l0v3R]

There are 2 types of AITA. "Am I the a**hole for being tortured for my entire life by horrible favoritism a** parents?" "Am I the a*hole for setting a child on fire?"

I agree with the life insurance thing it sounds like a good idea. Death CAN happen anytime, and funerals are super expensive. Sounds like Dad needs to stop being a baby cause he is mad his wife is "always right" cause she has some common sense

Parents need to parent. Halloween boyfriend, it doesnt matter that he isn't gonna get girls with the costume. It matters that the costume is disrespectful to his relationship and thats a valid complaint.

[@definitelynotmeg]

the first story i’d say is an “everyone sucks here” verdict. i don’t think posting the snapchat story should’ve been the first response, but that family is teaching that boy he doesn’t need to clean up after himself. more likely, they’re teaching him that a woman will always be there to clean up his mess. doing himself and any future partners of his a huge disservice

The only time I touch reddit is to see gender affirming surgery pictures (healed fully or new) because I literally can't find them anywhere else. Seriously I struggled so bad trying to find a single medical website that had surgery pictures, just drawings. So in that sense, reddit is kinda cool for that.

[@ChristopherClyde12]

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.

Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counsellor, and how do i reach her?

[@ChristopherClyde12]

Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive.

[@connorjaap1020]

the first verdict is 100% NTA, the girl is being treated as a surrogate mother for this boy by his parents and by mac now ig, she reacted in a childish way because she IS a child and shouldnt have to tell her own brother to clean up for himself, thats the parent's job!!! favoritism/infantilization of brothers over sisters is a HUGE problem & creates boys who are completely dependent on a mother-figure & girls that think the world is on her shoulders.

[@jackieelizabeth8614]

While technically she's correct about him taking responsibility, what she did with his friends and social media is an absolutely AH thing to do

[@unchartedraider7547]

Basically yeah. She is in the COMPLETE right to be mad at it. She was however mad wrong about the method. The problem is frankly she has no real answer.

[@HopeIsADrug11037]

she has the right to be upset over a mess in a shared space, but she went about it in the wrong way. not to mention, this kind of messiness isn't normal, there's likely something going on

[@axxelloxzi8418]

I agree with the replies on this comment. Me and my sisters have a similar experience with our brother. While yes she has the right to be mad, she however does not have the right to share this private matter to anyone who isn't involve or isn't family.

[@hopsymopsy8352]

​@@jackieelizabeth8614how else was she supposed to handle it then? I can see the reasoning behind it if maybe she thought pressure from people who's opinions he clearly cared about more mattered. Her parents aren't listening to her. Her brother won't listen to her. She literally has no other way to try and get his ass into gear except maybe throwing a huge fit in which case her parents would have more than likely reacted in a similar fashion to this. She's nta plain and simple. If anyone's the asshole here it's the brother and some asshole towards the friends for just making fun of him and not actually holding him accountable too. Last ditch efforts are meant to be harsh but it's his own fault tbh

[@Zippy_815]

Getting life insurance for a baby isn't really about getting the payout in the event that they die (in most cases). It's about securing a low rate and ensuring benefits that don't have to do with death (like early payouts if you become disabled). The older you are, the more likely you are to have health issues that will either limit benefits, skyrocket price, or completely disqualify you. That said, it all depends on the plan she was looking at. There are a lot of scam policies.

[@kastle3646]

I'll be honest, as a parent, that 16 year old is not an AH. Those parents need to step in and handle the brother. When one of my kids refuses to clean, we handle that shit and we do it fast. We all have to contribute around here.

[@hannahhansen3005]

Many people have life insurance on their kids. It is nice to have for funeral expenses so you can go all out for your child one last time. Also that first one, sounds more like a male getting away with discussing behavior and the girl just having to deal with it. I wonder if they are from the Midwest. Sounds very typical for around here.

[@urmum5379]

Talking of messy brothers, when I went to visit my brother in university, we went to check if he'd been cleaning his bathroom (he has his own ensuite) and the toilet was spewing black??? And the sink didn't drain??? And the water coming out of the shower was mouldy and black??????? So yes, I do agree, brothers can be messy and not clean their toilets that spew an unknown black liquid, but they can still be good at showing love (except he's not good at that either)

[@melanopygus]

I get it could be depression but leaving your piss and pubes out when someone else uses that space is unsanitary and rude. I guess she felt that was her only option since her parents let him do it

[@Iwasgoofingaround]

Honestly, I believe the problem is the parent if the sibling resorts to that because the other was disrespectful, like if the idea of going to the parent didn't come up, that mean she tried but nothing happen (Even tough what she did was a bit over board, like it could have end up worse than just him complaning 💀)

[@hopsymopsy8352]

​@@melanopygushonestly as someone with mental health issues it doesn't seem like that. Depression affects everything so the fact that he's still clearly capable of taking care of his physical hygiene without complaint but not his space shows that he just doesn't want to clean up after himself. People with depression typically find it hard to clean after themselves AND personal hygiene

Bro I feel for the girl in the first story, I share a bathroom with my older brother (he’s literally 20) and he leaves his hair in the sink after shaving too. I complained to my parents about it but “he’s an adult, talk to him about it”, but I’ve talked to him about it and he just complains that I leave my hair in the shower. I used to forget to clean it out but the issue was brought to me, so I made a concious effort to change my habit (you know, like an adult) and now I don’t leave hair in the bathroom. He does though.

Tell me why then everyfreaking time thered be CRUSTY A$$ PISS ALL OVER THE TOILET!?!?! thankfully my bf sitis down when peeing most of the time and I make sure HE cleans the toilet(unless I do). Im tired of cleaning after mens shit and them not having the decentcy to make less messes.....😐 If i were to have a daughter id still have my bf or, son(if I have one) to clean the bathroom cause man its fuking gross to have your head near a piss covered toilet.

[@princesswhinybutt2941]

I think thw first one the girl handled it wrong. Its tough but if the kid is depressed then posting his messes around is probably going to make it worse. she probably should have done something big that would force the parents to actually do their job and care for their son

[@hopsymopsy8352]

Speaking as someone who's dealt with depression it seriously doesn't sound like he's depressed. He has friends (which is typically hard for people with depression to maintain) and he's able to take care of his personal hygiene without issue, if anything he's doing more for his hygiene than what's typically expected. He's just not picking up after himself and that screams entitled more than depressed. I agree with what she did and he should've gotten punished even after that he's 15 not 5.

[@SirSoup44]

Life insurance is a really good idea. My best friend's dad died when we were 10, and the money paid for everything. Because he'd had the policy for so long, there was extra money to take care of the kids and their mental health afterwards. It also paid for a car that my friend now had in her name and to her, its a piece of him.

Insurance story, I can't relate with the insurance in us. My mama got me and my brother life and health insurance the moment we got out of her womb. She's an insurance agent and just knew which insurance we needed and we were so glad she did it. My mama has asthma and my papa has high blood pressure, so looking at their health condition it was needed. I was epileptic when I was a toddler and had to spend half of my childhood in hospital. The insurance my mama took saved me. Edit: I just remember that in some companies they won't sell you health insurance policy without you already purchasing life insurance policy. And also, the younger the client usually the cheaper the cost because you can choose a longer payment plan, some companies also limit their clients age usually 65 max, and they also can reject you if you or your family history have chronic illnesses. Educational insurance is usually just a saving plan, so basically insurance companies just help you to save money by planning when you're supposed to save some money.
