Told My Rich Parents That My "Lower Class" Friends & Families Are Better People r/AITA

Story 2: NTA. Take the video to court and show it to a judge. Get the custody moved solely to you. If their father gets away with this, he's going to get it in his head that he can continue to emotionally and psychologically abuse them. Don't wait for your daughters develop PTSD to do this

She blames her CHILDREN for not wanting to come to a funeral? Then gets mad at him for keeping a memento? OMG, your minor children are not your emotional supporters. You are their support, not the other way around. Edit after comments: glad to see my sentiments echoed. On top of that I completely ran over the "choice" aspect because I was so flabbergasted at the other part. This lady has a lot of gall to give him a choice that wasn't really a choice. I was my mom's emotional supporter and it messed me up. My step-dad died when I was 8-9, my brother when I was 13. Being responsible for your parents emotional stability that young is a fucked up thing to make a kid take on.

[@ms.honiqualisha4529]

So I am gonna play the defense on story 2. Cause I think some people were going too far. Except for expressing his feeling about having another daughter , THIER IS 0 indication that he does not love/like his daughters. I think some of the commenters are going out of bounds to suggest changing the custody agreements.

[@Flufferz626]

@@ms.honiqualisha4529 he said he would "shoot myself" if he had another girl. He already had a son he has 100% custody from his first marriage/relationship with (no wonder he is on his 3rd baby momma) and both the 5 and 7 year old cried he said even before this event he likes boys more. Meaning he already favors the older half brother. Maybe you missed that.

[@ms.honiqualisha4529]

@@Flufferz626 Nothing said he favors the bother. The only information is he has a son. Nothing says he mistreats the daughters. Just he really really really does not want anymore girls. He was a dick for how he worded it , but nothing wrong with not wanting more daughers. Who knows, maybe the daughers are really bratty ? Maybe the mother teaches them to act up when they visit him ? Maybe he just does not know how to do lots of stuff with girls , but he still has them in his life. Fact is the mother is the center of this and this is all FROM HER perspective. So we dont know his side at all. She just wants to feel validated.

[@XcelesteXmagixX]

I hope the op in the story where the dad loves his sons more than the daughters saves the video clip to play for a judge to get full custody.

[@lily-zg6io]

Story 4: YTA because she gave her children a choice then was mad when they didn't make the choice she wanted, but above all, she was going to rely on her minor son for emotional support, which you never do as a parent. She even compared her relationship with her parents, and how they weren't there for her to her minor son not being there, as if the adult parent/adult child dynamic was the same as a adult parent/minor child relationship

[@ShatoraDragondore]

Story 2: Harsh as it is. At least the girls know where there fathers sands with them at an early enough age they can sperate and detach from him. Get the visitation change to just child support payments and move on. Hope Son one and two dont need an organ transplant he's going to start seeing those girls as a walking part shop.

I dont think they do. Just cause he does not want more daughters does not mean he does not love the ones he has. I mean if he hated them so much he would not even bother with coustody or trying to have them in his life in the first place.

@@ms.honiqualisha4529 It might have been mandated by the courts. Or cheaper child support if they where physically in his care for x days a month. I know my dad checked out of my upbringing as soon as he got a son. It happens. Even after the divorce, and I was part of the visitation. My dad was a cheep bastard and got a one room apartment. He vary well could have swung a 2 bedroom in our area. Beloved Brother got to sleep in the bed room with him. I got the floor in the living room, because a pullout was to expensive for a 2 nights of use a month.

[@sagesaria]

I'm so so so glad there are so many YTA judgements on story 4. I've been shamed for not attending funerals in the past, but I honestly *hate* funerals. I have the crushing atmosphere, I hate crying in front of people I may not really know that well, I hate sitting so quietly for so long, and I hate having my dead loved one and the entire concept of death perpetually in my face. My style of grieving is to withdraw and watch comfort movies, and if I talk to anyone about it, I want to talk online because then I can get my emotions out without being an embarrassing blubbering mess. My comfort is still valid even if my loved ones are dead, and I'm pretty sure they know I love them even if I'm crying for them in private and not in front of their family and friends.

Story 4: YTA. My grandfather also had dementia and forgot me a few years before he died. It hurt so badly I didn't want to visit, he even hit on the female family members, including me. I still went to the funeral but I mourned him years before he died. OP gave the kids an option and then emotionally blackmailed them with the choices they made. Awful.

[@alexmarian4642]

Story 3. NTA. OP can’t just magically stop snoring, it’s involuntary. Sure, he should probably go to a doctor, but it’s not like he could just get up in the middle of the night and go right that minute IDK what the GF was trying to achieve by waking OP up.

[@0Jenna7]

From what she was saying, as a comment to his post, she got fed up with having to sleep in the best guestroom and OP refusing to take steps to minimize the snoring (see a doctor). I'd say nobody is the TA, because OP can't help he snores, the partner can't help that she's disturbed by his snoring. And if you want a relationship to work you got to listen to your partner, try to understand their complaint, and work on resolving it. Especially when it comes to such an important matter as sleep. If you are sleep-deprived everything becomes so much worse. It's not really about who's an ass, it doesn't really matter. In a relationship, you have the choice to make it better, and you have the choice to make it worse. If you want to make it worse, you ignore your partner's complaints and don't take them seriously.

[@yourneighborhooddeadpool488]

Ugh, I got so pissed off when everyone was saying YOU’RE THE ASSHOLE OP JUST BECAUSE YOU DO SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL. I definitely snore, sleep walk, sleep talk the whole shebang, I can’t help it if I snore, it’s something that’s almost uncontrollable.

[@alexmarian4642]

HimuraMai; the Literal Dragon. If she was in a different room, she couldn’t have been kept awake by the snoring. Just annoyed that she couldn’t sleep next to her bf. IMO, in that situation it’s even more arsehole-y for her to wake him up

[@0Jenna7]

​ @Alex Marian Look, a bed is never just a bed when it comes to humans in general. So the fact that she can't sleep in the same room and bed as her partner is ultimately a big deal. Because sleeping isn't the only thing people do in bed. -Talk -Snuggle -sex And bond with each other. This issue in a way isn't about his snoring. The girlfriend has a very real problem and the boyfriend can help fix it. He isn't. Why? 1. He doesn't take it seriously. 2. He doesn't care. 3. It's not his problem. Conclusion. That's a bad attitude that'll lead to the relationship disintegrating. Thus the girlfriend woke him up. Repeatedly.

[@missmax2492]

​@@0Jenna7nah, you don't need to sleep in the same bed as a partner. This could have been solved by sleeping in separate rooms, she was petty and cruel. All she achieved is making them *both* upset. Make the guest bedroom her bedroom if it's seriously an issue. My mom snores loud af, so does my dad, even as a small child I was never entitled enough to consistently wake them for *hours* on end just to be petty. Go to bed first so that you're not hearing the story or if you are a light sleeper, get noise canceling headphones ffs

God that last story broke my heart, I remember being in the son’s position cause when my grandmother died everyone assumed I was fine because I was just quiet. I wasn’t, I was grieving and everyone just didn’t pay me any mind. Even going as far to say that I “didn’t really care”

[@nerdy_evy]

Story 3: ESH. The girlfriend went about it really rudely. She kept jabbing him and groaning loudly enough for him to hear instead of going into another room. Why is she the one that gets to stay in the bed and hes the one that has to leave? She could of calmly said "hey sweetie, you're snoring. Could you please go to the guest room?" Or get up herself and leave. Jabbing him and not letting him get sleep is rude. She also said he wasn't snoring that badly which means she was way over reacting. People kept saying he should've gone to another room, but she also had that choice. It shouldn't have been all on him. But also yes, he should've saw that it was disrupting both their night and should've fixed it

If you dont want to sleep in the same bed as someone, you should be the one to leave cause you are the one upset. I can totally see her being like that

Story 3: The snorer... oh boy, I was feeling this story. My husband is a snorer. When we first got together, it was a soft snore. Nothing I couldn't sleep through. The longer we were together, the louder it got. We talked about it, and he said, "When it happens, just nudge me, and I'll roll over." That worked for a while, but over the years, the snoring got louder and louder and the nudging wasn't working anymore. We talked about it again, and he said, "If nudging me doesn't work, give me a bit of a shove." So on to shoving... and that worked for a while. More often than not, I would go up to bed before him so that I had a hope of falling asleep before he even got into bed. Multiple times, I got out of bed and went somewhere else to sleep for the rest of the night. Several years ago, let me tell you... by this time, his snoring sounds like he's half drowning in a vat of pudding. I have mentioned this to him over the years, and he kept shrugging it off and the shoving is how we deal with it. Going to bed early only helps so much, because it's so loud that I was waking up multiple times to give him a shove so he'd roll over. Even rolled over, he still snored, but it was softer. So we're visiting his parents one day and at some point in the night, he got up to go to the bathroom, and he came back to bed and before long, he was snoring away. I gave him a poke... he continued to snore. I gave him a gentle shove, he continued to snore. I gave him a harder shove, AND HE SHOVED ME BACK. I was like, "What the hell!? You were snoring. You're the one who told me to shove you if you're snoring!" He was like, "No way was I snoring. I just got back from the bathroom. I wasn't even asleep yet!" I said, "Oh, so you're telling me that I have nothing better to do than to wake up in the middle of the night to shove you for shits and giggles?" And he basically said that he thought that's what I was doing. Because, you know, the nearly 20 years we'd been together at that point... it was toooooooooootally something that I was known to do. /sarcasm A little bit after that, and we're back home, and it happens again! Snoring, poke. Snoring, gentle shove. Snoring, harder shove... and he shoves me back. And I'm like, "No! This bullshit is NOT happening. You've been ignoring me over the years when I've told you you're snoring is getting worse. You've laughed it off when I told you that I've actually catalogued the different types of snores you have. You don't take me seriously when I tell you that you stop breathing in the middle of the night. You don't care about the sleep I'm losing. But I absolutely draw the line at you assaulting me in my own house, in my own bed." Again I got the same shit from him about he wasn't snoring, he'd just gotten back in bed, he wasn't even asleep yet, and I called bullshit on that hardcore. This was getting towards the end of the year, and I actually gave him an ultimatum that he needed to make an appointment for a sleep study before New Year's, or he could sleep on the couch. I was freaking done dealing with it. So he did it, and he went and guess what... moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. Breathing stopped several times a minute. Finally, my husband acknowledged that I wasn't just being a shithead toward him. He got a CPAP machine, and the both of us are sleeping so much better. I'm glad that this story had a happy ending, but I also see that it could progressively get worse over the years, and I really hope that the OP in the story listens to his girlfriend and takes her comments and complaints seriously before it gets as bad as it did between my husband and I. I was seriously considering leaving him over it. Not because of the snoring, but because he felt like it was okay to shove me back more than once, when I was only doing what he'd told me to do. I was very, very close. If he had never gone for the sleep study, best case scenario, we would be in separate bedrooms. Worst case scenario, we would be divorced, I have no doubt.

3rd story: a partner snoring makes me feel homicidal. Worst sound ever. Would 100% break up w/ someone who refused to deal w/ their snoring. Last relationship, I would sleep in my computer room when partner would start snoring, but then he would get up & say he could not sleep w/ me not in bed. Then I'd have to go lay down until he fell asleep & started snoring again. He knew that drinking alcohol before bed caused him to snore, but kept doing it. My cat snores, but it is cute & he doesn't make me overheat when snuggling. Cats > BFs

After decades of snoring spouses, we finally reached crisis point. I would go to bed late/exhausted because hubby was snoring.

I may be 30 years younger than my half-sisters w/ vastly different interests, but dad was always there. Camp, school, art classes, horseback riding, taekwondo, jujitsu ( the last 2, dad was just impressed I wanted to TRY them...he just said "well, your sisters had boy issues in their teens. At least I'll know you can kick the guy's *** if he gets out of line")....R.I.P. Dad. You were amazing

Story 3: Sleep apnea (SA) is a very serious condition and snoring is the primary symptom. SA can also cause various side effects...the worst being eventual heart damage. You may also be losing more sleep than you realize. A good friend of mine was diagnosed when she fell asleep at the wheel of her car in broad daylight and rear-ended a truck! According to my sleep doc, SA can also be hereditary. (Both my son and I are on C-PAP.) A sleep study ordered by a pulmonalogist will diagnose you.

[@toriibarlow]

My grandpa is like that dad and it was always so damaging to me (effectively the only granddaughter). I always saw his relationship with my cousin and was sad trying to figure out why i wasn't good enough. Like it was so obvious how mean he was to me waitresses and all would pull me aside in public and say something normally just to make sure i knew it wasn't okay to be treated that way.

[@toriibarlow]

I remember the last time a restaurant worker pulled me aside I was probably about 12 or so and I was out with my dad and grandpa. Every time anything for the table was needed my Grandpa would make me go get it because I guess that's the women's job and as the only woman at the table I constantly had to get up to fetch things for him and he was very rude about it. My dad did interject a few times. So I remember I went up to the counter to ask the worker for something and I must have looked so upset she made me feel so much better and even asked if there was someone that she needed to call for me. My cousin meanwhile would be treated like a king and spoiled in comparison. Even getting better gifts and opportunities.

I cried more at my grandfather's death than my grandmothers. Grandy was in a lot of pain for a long time. By the time she died, she was practically suffocating to death, hooked up to a machine to help her breathe. I was too scared to see her in that much pain. I still miss her a decade later and I believe that if there is a heaven, she's waiting up there for me to sit down together, drink milkshakes, and catch up (she texted me on her deathbed saying she'd take me out for milkshakes when she got out of the hospital). I didn't mourn her as much as I mourned everyone else because I was just grateful that she wasn't suffering anymore. I thought it was more important for her pain to end than for me to spend more time with her. I cried when my grandfather died because we bonded in the last year or so of his life. I never visited my grandmother at the hospital and he didn't get to be by her side during her last moments because his children, my parents, aunts, and uncles, didn't care if they made their own father miss his wife's last moments. We grew close as the two people who never got to say goodbye. When they had to put him in a nursing home, everyone was shocked and confused as to why he kept holding on. I mustered the courage to visit. He smiled at me and looked at me the entire time. Reached out to hold my hand (my mother cut in and snatched it herself, then bragged to everyone he was paying more attention to HER than anyone else). He died less than 12 hours later. I cried because he held on so that I could say goodbye to him, but my family was too selfish and entitled to recognize that. They'd shoot me down, yell at me, and call me a narc if I dared try to point that out to anyone. Let your kids mourn how they need to instead of being a selfish bitch and making it all about yourself. I'm still mad at my mother almost a decade later for not letting me have that last moment with my grandfather because she had to make everything all about herself.

3rd story: haha, proof that everyone should have their own bed! How can anyone not have their own bed? That should be awful!

You sound like you're feeling a bit better. ❤ And HELL YEAH the live stream was successful!! I loved the diversity of it. I listened to you brain children with a ladle while I did my homework. XD It was lovely. And now I need that game even though I'd suck at it.

[@morallygary9098]

Third story is an ESH and I don’t see how people aren’t recognizing that... Op could have left, could have looked into a solution at any point, but has not. But people justify the girlfriend being cranky and sassy at night because she’s tired, but... the thing most of them are calling him an asshole for are based on how tired he was? He was snappy because he was tired. It’s ESH because They’re both being real gosh darned petty, but god am I glad OP is still looking into solutions.

[@Shywest2010]

So this is random but has anybody watched a mark Narrations video and then get a notification about said video while watching? Because that just happened to me. Literally 4:42 into watching a video that was uploaded 7hrs ago and a notification pops up on my phone screen about this exact video being uploaded 🤣😂

[@J_e_s_s]

I hate when someone asks me a yes or no question when they're seeking a specific answer. I'm not a mind reader. No one is a mind reader. If she wanted a yes then why didn't she just ask them to attend with her? That is such a mind fuck.

[@TsukiKageTora]

Story 3. I get the Y T A comments but I’m going to say ESH. Instead of keeping OP up, the girl could have gone to the couch so both of them can sleep. Instead of keeping his girl up, OP could have gone to the couch so both of them can sleep. After that, they could look for alternatives to stop or reduce snoring so both of them can sleep in the same bed again. And until they find a solution that best fits them, they could switch who sleeps on the couch and who sleeps on the bed.

[@Flufferz626]

He should sleep on the couch since he is causing the issue. And should go to the doctor, snoring more often than not is a sign of some other underlying health order.

[@TsukiKageTora]

@@Flufferz626 he isn’t the only one that “should” sleep on the couch. She isn’t entitled to the bed. She wants sleep? She could have gone to the couch instead of purposefully waking her boyfriend up each time. As well as OP could have taken the couch instead of keeping her up. They should evenly take turns to sleep on the couch as neither of them are solely entitled to the bed when they invite/are invited to stay over. It’s simple temporary fix to a problem they should look into.

[@Flufferz626]

@@TsukiKageTora she said in her post that she had brought it up to him and offered he goes to the doctor. He reluctantly admitted in the update that she was true, but kept blowing her off because he was taught someone "couldn't help" snoring. She finally got his attention with slight aggression, because her talking to him wasn't working. He admitted that too in the update. He also revealed that he works a later shift and that she has to work early and is in a profession that likely earns more than him (dentist), so she has to work while he gets a few more hours sleep than her alone in his bed to snore away. Also people saying she is TA for making him lose sleep seem to forget that her waking him up means she is awakened every time she does so. Basically people calling her out didn't bother to pay attention.

[@TsukiKageTora]

@@Flufferz626 going to the doctor isn’t going to solve everything. What I said still goes: swap times sleeping on couch until they find a solution. Still pretty simple

[@Flufferz626]

@@TsukiKageTora but he refused to go at first when she brought it up. Snoring is a symptom of a bigger issue 99.9% of the time. He owes her for time she missed. He also gets the bed to himself because he works less hours and sleeps in whereas she goes to work (in a profession where she likely makes more money). And a profession where she offers to make sure for free that there isn't a dental issue. He gets more sleep than her even when she started jabbing him awake, he admits this in the update too.

First story, nta... but it sounded like a movie plot until the ending

[@jeancarbonneau6966]

In comparison to story 3, I've been told that I snore. I've had an ex-girlfriend who snored loudly when she was asleep. I've never bothered with my snoring because I've never been told by any of my ex-girlfriends. Only one of them told me that I snored and she nudges me to stop snoring without me waking up. To this day, I still don't know for sure if it is a nightly reoccurrence.

Story 2: NTA My dad had a total of 7 women in his marriage life. My mom, me, my two sisters and three granddaughters. My dad was happy with girls in his life Story 3: NAH Even with the snappy comment, I feel it’s because of lack of sleep. I snore. I snore and sound like a drunken sailor. 😂😂😂😂😂 but I don’t have sleep apnea. Because I’m fine when I wake up. Sometimes it’s the position of the head. If you snore and it’s not a medical condition, try rolling a towel to the base of your pillow. The neck needs to be supported.

[@rinpaisys]

Story 1: guess nobody ever taught OP’s parents that social class doesn’t determine whether or not you are classy. Guess you could say they need to go back to class to learn about the difference between class and having class.

I'm FINALLY eating WAFFLES while listening to your lovely voice!

[@firerosenight6937]

Story one "How do you know I've changed if you dont even know me?" Money doesn't mean happiness. I'd rather give up all my money for a good family, and I mean it. Those "parents" are horrible. And does that 'mother' even know her son is in a relationship? I doubt it. They aren't parents, there just providers of money and shelter. They did this, this is on them. They were never there emotionally, and that's extremely important for ANY relationship. Hopefully those "parents" won't try to separate them.

[@DarkCrystalSage]

I'm sorry, story 3 NTA: I've dealt with people who snore and I've just countered it with earplugs and return to sleep

[@punishedweeb3588]

I'd say that's a better solution than keeping someone up all night because they snore

[@DarkCrystalSage]

@@punishedweeb3588 Or at least put music on via headphones - at least...that's what I also do, sometimes I need Elvis Presley to lul me to sleep.

My mom’s boyfriend (at the time) scared the shit out of me. I walked upstairs and he like screamed snored and I almost jumped and almost fell down the stairs

[@bdhu2001]

Okay. The one with the funeral. OP is TAH, but I have two different takes. #1 the great grand parent lived far away & the funeral was the way of the son saying goodbye. But when the OP refused to take him, she told him that funerals weren’t important to saying goodbye or grieving. Thus, when the grandfather dies, the son has already grieved the grandfather he lost. The son grieved for the grandfather, when the grandfather stopped remembering everyone & realized the grandfather’s death was inevitable as the grandfather got worse. The son even told OP that he lost his grandfather, when his grandfather no longer remembered his mother. OP isn’t listening

[@stacynonyabizz4241]

i'm the snorer in my marriage. my hubby gets up around 6 am for work. i get up around noon because i work nights. my snoring keeps him from getting to sleep but does not normaly wake him. so i just stay up till after he has fallen asleep.on the rare occasion it wakes him he wakes me up and i go sleep on the sofa. this is after years of efforts like breath right strips ( repeated nightly use started taking skin off when removed) and other otc " fixes". theres always a work around if u try hard enough

[@novabrilliant4510]

Absolutely loved the live stream. The game you were playing looks interesting.

[@chetarisin3035]

snoring isn't something one can easily control. if the girlfriend didn't like the snoring, she could have moved. but she didn't and decided to keep op awake because she couldn't be bothered. i personally think OP should invest in these nose strips that help with snoring.

[@LilChuunosuke]

Story 1: I grew up getting bullied in private school and having rich parents. Public school was the greatest thing to happen to me. My parents also hated me being friends with poor kids, whose families were far nicer to me, but they had to get to work early and there were no private high schools nearby, so there was nothing they could do about it except try to convince me to stop. I hope OP's parents get their shit together before OP moves away at 18 and never looks back.
