Folks, I don’t say this very often, but…
This is insane behavior!
And I have a feeling you’re gonna agree with me when you sink your teeth into this story…
A teenager wrote it and she has some serious concerns about what her dad has planned for their house.
Read on and see what you think about this puzzling situation.
AITA for being uncomfortable with my dad’s 10 adult male illegal subcontractors coming to shower in my house while I’m home alone with my little brother?
“I (19 F) was happily painting in my room this morning when my mother came in and told me that this afternoon she and my dad would be going out to dinner, and that my dad’s new subcontractor crew of 10 adult males would be coming to my house to shower and have pizza that was my responsibility to order and get for them.
What?!?!
Worse, that they would be sleeping over upstairs/in our camper. I immediately got sick to my stomach at the thought of being alone in my home with 10 adult men that I had never met before and don’t even speak the same language as.
I called my father and explained my discomfort over the situation, and asked that he either make other arrangements (example: Have them go to our shop and use that perfectly good shower or that he stay home to be with them and go out tomorrow).
This guy is crazy…
He said no and that he deserves a break and I was being majorly over dramatic.
I admit, at this point I lost my cool and did not have the nicest tone (which was inappropriate of me and I can admit that) when I told him I put up with his nonsense all the time and that this was way too far.
I proceeded to get multiple phone calls from my dad, an accusing message that I was purposely not answering him (I wasn’t, I was with a friend at the time), and then when I did call him to attempt an adult conversation before work we had a berating conversation where he essentially gave me all the reasons that I am just an overdramatic spoiled brat.
He said, I quote, “you’re just a rude and disrespectful child so that means I get to be rude and disrespectful”.
This makes much more sense…
Anyway, I tried explaining to my father that if he wanted to be the one as a fellow adult male to host them, get them food, and have them shower than he was welcome to and that was fine with me.
I just was uncomfortable with being the one to do it by myself because I am a young female who is more than outnumbered by adult men I have never met in my life. Oh and by the way, he met these people this morning.
He said we’ll have a ‘conversation’ about it tomorrow so I am hoping for some impartial views to bring to the conversation.
I tried to write this as impartially as I could, but it is something I am still upset about.”
