Things at r/AmIthe*sshole are surely crazy.
Meet OP, a resilient mother navigating the challenges of co-parenting with Jake, her ex-partner. At 25, the narrative unfolds with OP's son expressing distress about visiting his father's house, citing bullying and mistreatment by his half-siblings. OP, attuned to her son's well-being, takes decisive action by hiring a babysitter to ensure his safety and emotional comfort.
Jake's lack of financial contribution becomes a focal point of tension. Despite having other children, Jake refrains from providing financial support, leaving OP to bear the financial burden of childcare on her own. The friction intensifies when OP, facing financial strain, asks Jake to contribute to the babysitter's fees.
Will OP find a resolution that prioritizes her son's well-being while addressing the financial strain she faces?
