Stepmom's Jealous Tantrum Over 5 Family Photos Backfires On Her

[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_00] Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. And let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys. Now today's first story comes from singeraware2658 from the AmITheArsehole subreddit. And it says, AmITheArsehole for not taking down pictures of my family in my own home.

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_00] To make my son's new wife feel more comfortable. I, late 50s, am a picture person. I have hundreds up in my home. It started when I was caring for my aunt with Alzheimer's and has just gone from there. I have three kids and four grandkids and as you can imagine, I love having photos of them up in my home.

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_00] My middle son, Gavin, 27, is no longer with my four-year-old grandson, Tommy's mom, Helena. They're still friendly and co-parent well and I see her often enough because I help with Tommy. Last year he married Sherry, also 27, after only being together a few months. But she seems sweet and like she makes him happy.

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_00] We had no issues until this summer when my son asked me to take down any and all pictures that Helena was in to make Sherry more comfortable. I don't have any of her alone. Just a few of the entire family and a few when Tommy was younger that my son is also in. I said no, it's my home and I like having them up. I certainly have added many with Sherry in them but it's silly to take some down just because Helena and Gavin are no longer together. It's still a part of our family history.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_00] He asked again a few weeks ago and I gave him the same answer and told him that I'd be happy to explain to Sherry but he dropped it. He called me yesterday and told me that it was the last time he was going to ask. The pictures needed to come down or Sherry wouldn't come to our house anymore. I told him that was ridiculous and he said it was important to him because they made Sherry jealous and it was affecting the way she was treating Tommy.

[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_00] I am appalled. Apparently Tommy mentioned the picture in my house and Sherry threw a fit and Gavin says that it's making his life difficult. He brought it up around my daughter, the oldest, who told her younger sister as well and they both agree Sherry is being ridiculous. I told him if your wife is treating Tommy poorly because of some pictures in my home then you need to think if this is the right person. Obviously he disagrees but he's been hounding me leading up to Thanksgiving.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_00] My husband is also on the side of we do not negotiate with terrorists but has also pointed out that they are married and we should pick our battles. I'm worried if I'm missing the forest through the trees. Just a quick edit. If there was abuse I would have already caught CPS. Sherry has decided when Tommy is there to make herself sparse and not be involved with him anymore. I've told Gavin that's not acceptable and he says he's working on it but there is nothing to report. And Helena knows all of this.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_00] Edit Thanks and I won't be removing anything and if Sherry wants to continue this toddler-like temper tantrum she is welcome to stay home alone on Thanksgiving. If she wants to grow up and realize that she married a man with a child she can come but I'll be having a serious talk with my son. My husband and I are well off and readily help our kids financially. He's welcome to cut me off over this but I doubt that will happen as we will react likewise. Also I counted a day when I was cleaning.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_00] I saw a max five pictures with Helena in them. The fact that this woman is throwing a fit about five out of hundreds of pictures is crazy to me. Maybe I'll put up more. Bloody hell this is absolutely messy isn't it? I mean what they got married after being with each other for only a few months and now the insecurities are really starting to come out. And I just feel so sorry for that kid that she's making herself what is it sparse around him.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_00] This is only the beginning of this you know. She's trying to erase the mum from her husband's life from the child's life. We've seen it many times in these stories. And the fact is Tommy has a mum. The mum was part of the family and that history exists. But now she's choosing to punish a four-year-old for actually having a mum. Gavin should be way more concerned about what his wife is doing to his son because you know that is awful. Just the thought process in itself.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_00] She thinks it's okay to do this. And I believe you're absolutely right to not remove the pictures. Even in a pick your battle situation you don't remove the pictures. Because if you start with this you know something else will come along further down the line. It just becomes one of those slippery slopes. And I think Gavin just needs a reality check. It sounds like he's rushed into marriage. And instead of actually confronting his wife's behaviour in this situation.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_00] He's trying to get everyone else to deal with it in some form or another. And I hope in some way or form either Gavin realises what's going on. Or the grandparents are able to protect that child. Because you know as I said it's a slippery slope. But my four cat says poor Tommy. Just wait until a new baby comes along. Absolutely. This is an Instagram says hopefully Sherry is kicked at a curb before that happens. Another commenter says she's already pregnant. 27 and married after a few months.

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_00] Majestic says quoting my husband is also on the side. If we do not negotiate with terrorists. And then says fucking MVP. Another one says that rotted wench is treating her new stepson like trash. And using pictures as an excuse. Even if the pictures come down. The terrorist will ask for more. And the next thing you know Tommy won't be able to even mention his mother. Then it'll be Tommy's mother can't come to the house to pick him up. Until finally Tommy should go live with his mother. Gavin married an asshole.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_00] Another commenter says honestly Tommy might be better off living with his mom. Strongflavor says yes. Let Tommy's mom and her lawyer know he's being mistreated by a step monster with his father's blessing. And see how long joint custody lasts. Chocolate says the fact that your son is not divorcing a woman who is mistreating his son is appalling. When you mentioned negotiating with terrorists you really meant it. Don't even think of appeasing this monstrous woman your son has chosen to marry. Opie says I agree.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_00] I thought he should have presented divorce papers already. But he's an adult. And I can't do it for him. He knows how I feel. So the update came in two months after this. And just said it's been a while since my last post. Gavin and Sherry's divorce was finalized yesterday. We are thrilled to put this awful chapter behind us. And hope Gavin has learned from it. Edit to answer your questions. A quick Google says that in my state uncontested divorces take like 4 to 8 weeks. Luckily it was on the shorter end of that.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_00] And Sherry's pictures came down when my husband banned her from our home due to her throwing a tantrum against Tommy. I wasn't there. That girl next to yours says. I'm curious as to who initiated the divorce. Sherry for the pics or Gavin for the crazy. Opie says. He said that he figured that being divorced was embarrassing. But not as embarrassing as staying married to her. Miss Catpants says. Always nice to read a happy ending. And Nep says. So are you taking down all the photos that Sherry was in?

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_00] I'm just curious. And I fully support you having whatever photos that make you happy in your home. I personally wouldn't want to see her face if I could avoid it. And that she isn't a mom to any of your grandkids. Opie says. Yes. They were taken down as they brought absolutely nobody here any joy. I didn't throw them away. They're still family history. But they've been relegated through a box on the floor in our basement. We think we've fixed the flooding issue. But I'm not losing sleep over it. Dazzling Doofus says.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_00] I'm envisioning you standing on a sweeping staircase in front of a huge gallery wall studying each pic individually. Going. This one doesn't spark joy. Yeet. Lanky says. Did I miss something? Original Post says that she had an issue with pics of his ex on his parents' walls. Now they are divorced. I feel like I missed a lot in the middle. Opie says. Adults who throw jealous temper tantrums in the middle of family holiday simply are not mature enough to be married. Horen says.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_00] So this went down during a family holiday gathering. Is it bad that I would enjoy hearing more about this? Opie says. I was not present. But from what I heard it was quite a scene that was caused by Tommy opening the back door and letting Sherry's dog out on accident. I understand that can be upsetting. But our backyard is fenced in and the dog couldn't go anywhere. And it seemed that things seemed to end in the best possible way in this situation.

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_00] And I really do hope that Gavin has taken that as a wake-up call to take some time to get to know someone before jumping into marriage and introducing them to your kid. Because as we always see in these stories kids need stability. And I really hope that Tommy is able to recover from that quickly. Because you know even though it's been months he was still exposed to that kind of behavior. That unstable behavior. Where someone's going to withdraw affection when they don't get their way.

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_00] But what do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. And let's move on to another story. Now our next story is titled. I allowed my 17 year old sister to move in with me. CT to NY. Dad is threatening me with kidnapping charges. Sorry for the huge post. Last year my sister then 17 and living in CT with her mother.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_00] Dropped out of high school and came to live with me. I live in New York State. Albany area. My mother is disabled by mental illness. And in her condition was neglecting my sister and my adult brother that lived there. Disabled with autism. Was physically abusive towards both of them. According to the custody agreement. My mother and father's divorce in 2006. It was dad that was supposed to be the custodial parent.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_00] And my mom was supposed to be paying him child support and getting weekend visitation. My sister lived with dad and his then girlfriend. Now wife. For about 3 years. And then sent her to live with mom. However my mom got the support order changed. But worked out an agreement with dad. She got to keep the SSI money. That was my sister's benefit instead of it being forwarded to dad for support. And he kept her on his health insurance. When my sister came to live with me last year.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_00] Mom told me she would send the benefit money on to me. For taking care of my sister. She didn't. Dad kept her on his health insurance. But refused to pay anything towards her online high school course. When asked saying he didn't have any money to spare. So I'm paying it because she needs a high school education. And it's only $50 a month. This year my sister turned 18. And has almost finished her online high courses. And has started looking for a job but is considering trade school. So proud of her.

[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_00] She'll be staying with me until she can afford to move out. My wife and I have agreed to that. And have no problem with that. In New York child support can be received up to age 21. So I filed a petition for child support for mom and dad through New York State. And the county court here sent out notices to them to appear for a court date. Dad received his yesterday and called me up. Asked me why I was doing this to him. Told me I need to drop the case because it's going to ruin him financially. And that technically what you did was kidnapping.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_00] Because nobody asked him permission when my sister was moving from CT to NY to live with me. When the court order still says she's supposed to live with him. But that he didn't want to go down that route because it's low. But that it's low of me to bring him to court about child support. So my question is. Do I need to worry about being arrested for kidnapping? Would I be better off dropping the child support case? Brick says to the OP. You don't need to be worried about being arrested for kidnapping.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_00] Because you never kidnapped her. You looked after your sister and went above and beyond for her. Your dad quite frankly is unsurprisingly an idiot. Imagine being a police officer and getting called to a kidnapping charge. Where the girl is happy to be there. Was given permission by the current parent. Is now 18 years of age. And was given an opportunity to get an education. The kidnapper is a family member. Who allows her to come and go as she pleases. And the complainant is a deadbeat dad.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_00] And said father said he would overlook said charge for financial gain. Be proud of what you've done. And who you are as a person. OP says thank you for the reassurance. And the kind words. Nespini says. So extortion. The police aren't going to get involved in a kidnapping. Where the victim was a consenting 17 year old at the time. And neither parent thought to report it. Until after she reached the age of maturity. The threat is largely empty. If by some miracle the police do want to talk to you about this.

[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_00] Don't respond without an attorney. And tell them frankly but politely. That you're not going to speak to them without one. But otherwise relax. Personally I would overlook your father's threats and ignore them. But however you choose to proceed. There's no point in engaging with them. The rest of this will be worked out. In the hearing about support. OP says this is also what I was thinking. But I'm prone to anxiety. And think I just needed to hear it from other people. That aren't emotionally involved in the issues themselves. Thanks for the answer.

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_00] L Convict says. Adding on to the previous poster. The only way the police would stay involved. Is if you press charges for extortion. Which would be well deserved. Although I'd suggest. Just cutting that jackass out of your lives altogether. OP says. I don't plan on pressing charges. I was really hoping it wouldn't get nasty. But here we are. I hate how money issues turn family members against each other. I think he feels I'm being vindictive. Because my sister hasn't had a good childhood.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_00] Well I'm angry about how my sister was treated by our parents. I'm not doing this for revenge. And I'm just trying to make sure. My sister can get what she needs. So it was a month after this that OP came in with an update. And said so. I had my day in court today for the child support hearing. Dad actually showed up for court. Instead of using the option of conference call like my mother did. My sister. Let's call her Valerie. Wanted to sit in the courtroom. In case the judge had any questions for her in particular. He didn't.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_00] But I'm proud of how brave my sister is for going to court. When she didn't have to. Because I could feel my heart beating in my throat the entire time. The judge started out by saying he was unsure. If a support order could be issued today. Given that Valerie is now 18. And NCT would be ineligible. But in New York would be eligible until 21. But then began asking some questions. Dad did a lot of talking first. Mostly saying how he had a court order that gave him full custody of Valerie.

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_00] And that mom was supposed to be paying him child support. Then he said how Valerie dropped out of high school. And left the state to live with me without telling him. Or getting his permission. And how he didn't know for a month after the fact. He complained that mom never speaks to him about anything. That I made no effort to have a relationship with him. And that Valerie doesn't either. Boo hoo. We're all ganging up on him. And he doesn't know what he did to deserve it. Sure enough. As a few of you kind folks mentioned. The judge asked him.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_00] Why didn't you know where she was for a month. If she was supposed to be in your custody. He then says that she was staying with her mother at the time. But that she would have had a place with him. And still does have a place with him. If she had asked. At that point sick of hearing him play the victim. I piped up and asked as calmly as I could manage. Why didn't she have a place with you 9 years ago. When you dropped her off at mom's house. Didn't tell her you were coming back for her. And then got rid of all of her belongings. My mother on the phone confirmed what happened.

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_00] And said that she had asked me if I could take in my sister. Because of my brother's violent behavior. Early in 2017. Valerie was 17 at the time. She moved to New York State. And is still attending high school to earn her diploma. Better late than never. And I've been her sole source of support ever since. The judge then reviewed the guidelines of the monetary support. My mother being disabled and on social security. Was to pay no more than $50 per month for support.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_00] Dad was to pay no more than 17% of his income. Which translated to roughly $800 per month. The judge asked me what amount I was looking for. My answer was that I just wanted some help with the groceries and the medical bills. So I asked for a total of $250 from dad. And the max $50 from mom. Dad tried to haggle me down to $200 per month. Because he just bought a house last year. You should have seen the look on the judge's face.

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_00] The judge reminded him that the guidelines recommend $800 a month. And I held firm on $250. Dad sighed. And said he'll have to go smoking to afford it. This is supposed to make me feel bad. The judge made the order effective until age 21. And I never did get in trouble for allegedly kidnapping my little sister. Thank you to everyone here. That gave me encouragement to see this through. And not fall for dad's intimidation tactics.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_00] And there was a lot of comments below this one. Saying you should have took the full $800. And take him for what he's worth. And I was thinking along those same lines as well. Because you're going to put it towards something else right. But a lot of people was arguing against that. Saying you know if you try to take him for the full $800. You know he's already pleading that he can't afford that now. And trying to get you down from $250. So there's no way you're going to see the $800. And it just makes it more difficult to actually get the money out of him.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_00] But what do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. And let's move on to another story. Our next story comes from Pixelated Trout from the Am I The Butt Face subreddit. And it says Am I The Butt Face? If I were to tell my roommate that I don't want to feed her dog anymore. Hi there. First post on this subreddit so apologies if I get anything wrong. But just need some advice. I've been living with my roommate for a little over a year now.

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_00] And she's had her dog since we moved in. She has a pretty active social life. So is out most nights or stays over at her partner's a lot. And leaves the dog at home. When we first moved in she would pay me whatever she asked me to feed her dog. Or make sure she has water and bring her in at night. At some point she stopped offering. And I didn't ask because I felt like it was too small a task to ask money for. Recently though I've been feeling more annoyed whenever she asks. Not because it's difficult to do.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_00] But because there seems to be an expectation of I'll do it. She'll go out sometimes three to four times a week and ask me every time. I don't know. I just want to know if it's unreasonable for me to feel this way. Because it feels like I'm looking after a dog without any of the benefits of actually owning one. I can't walk it. Let it in my room etc. I understand that's her choices as an owner. And I'm respectful to it. But again it feels like I'm raising to a point without any benefits.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_00] I also feel a bit disrespected in terms of she thinks I'm always available to do it. After a year of this happening. I come to the realization that I've put off activities etc. To make sure someone is at home for the dog and watching over them. I really don't want to do it anymore. And I don't know how to bring up the topic. I just wish she would plan time to do it herself. I wouldn't mind doing the favor every now and then. But I don't want to do it as frequently as I have been. Edit.

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_00] She'll also message me to do stuff when she's already out. Or if she's gone straight from work to do something. A commenter says to OP. Next time she asks. Put your shoes and coat on. And go sorry I can't. I'm on my way out. And leave. Even if it's just a walk or to the shop. Just make sure she can't leave you with a dog. If you're not there. She will have to do it. OP says yeah. I'll definitely do that next time. It just sucks that she'll message me at 2 when she's already out. Like you knew you were leaving. Why not do it beforehand?

[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_00] Commodore says. Not the buff face. You do need to have a conversation with your roommate. I know it's not easy. But this poor dog is stuck in the middle. With nobody who really cares about it. And it's not fair to the dog. Or to you. The next time she asks you to feed her dog. Or anything else related to the dog. Just flat out tell her that you have plans. And she will have to attend to her own dog herself. If she has the audacity to ask what your plans are. It's really none of her business. You should reply that your plans are. Not to own a dog.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_00] Or to be held responsible for anyone else's dog. Edited to add. That if she is not home and texting. Or calling you to take care of a dog. Tell her that she needs to come home to do it. Because it's not your responsibility. Hopey says thank you. No I really do just need to put my foot down. When it comes to this. I feel so bad for this dog. Because I want to do so much for it. But again. It's not my place since it's not mine. Guess it's given me a look into. How I wouldn't look after my own. Which I do want to eventually.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_00] And she's not too keen on to be honest. Kamala says. I understand that you don't want to punish the dog. Because its owner is an arsehole. But that's how and why your roommate is taking advantage of you. First of all. That may be her dog. But you take care of it at least 50% of the time. So now it's your dog too. Stop following her rules to the letter. You can't walk the dog. Let the dog into your room. Says who and why not? If you're taking care of the dog. You can take the dog for a walk if you want to. And let the dog sleep on your bed if you like that.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_00] If your roommate bulks. Then tell her. To take care of her own dog will pay you. Otherwise you'll consider the dog half yours. Most importantly. Stop changing. Proponing. Or cancelling your plans. To take care of her dog. If she asks you to do it. And you can't do it. Say no. If she calls you to feed the dog. And you're not home. Tell her no. She'll have to come home and feed the dog. Because you have plans. Why are you just doing whatever this person tells you to do? Is she your mother? If you make the choice to change your life. To accommodate her dog.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_00] That's on you. You can say no. If you can't help her out. And you say you will anyway. That's your choice. Of course that's assuming this is a real problem. Which it isn't. Since you tagged this post. Theoretical. If I'd read that first. I wouldn't have bothered answering. Hopi says yeah. Half of this is on me to be fair. I do need to get better with saying no. No matter what reaction I get from it. I've been friends with people in the past. Where I say no and it ends the friendship. But those have all been some poor choices in the friends I make to be honest. It's tagged theoretical.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_00] Because I haven't confronted her about it yet. If it's the wrong use of the tag let me know. But I do appreciate your comment anyway. I've been stricter with her about other things recently. And she's gotten a bit more distant. But I'm learning that I can't control people's reactions. So if that's how she responds to it. I'm going to do what I need to do. So I don't let people walk over me in the future. A commenter says. Sounds like you have a lot of hatred building up. Regardless of what you do. You probably should find some new living arrangements. Hopi says it's not that extreme to be honest.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_00] I just need to be more confident with voicing myself. Slash not being pushed over really. Let's face it. Your mate knows exactly what they're doing. They did all this over time. They started by paying. Then stopped. Then created this expectation. Of you looking after the dog. Without ever explicitly asking for it. Or any commitment really. And it's working. Because Hopi is conflict avoidant. Which they seem to be recognizing. Which is a good sign. And the commenters are absolutely right.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_00] That she just needs to be told. No. That's your dog. You need to deal with it. Which is a perfectly reasonable ask. And if she gets upset about it. It calls her out more than anything. Which. It can be difficult for people. Who's conflict avoidant. To do this kind of thing. I think there just comes a time. Where you really just need to do that. Otherwise. You're just going to be continued. To walk over again. And again. But Hopi comes in with an update. And says. Okay. So I thought I'd make an update. Because I actually did something about it. Lol. For some context.

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_00] I've been living with a roommate. For the past year. Who's asked me to feed. And give water to. Bring in her dog. When she goes out. Which is multiple times a week. To the point where she would message me too. Even when I was out. I ended up talking to her about it. When she started telling me her plans again. In summary. Saying that as much as I liked her dog. And wanted to help her. I wanted to step back. From doing those sorts of responsibilities. Because she's not my dog. Roommate said that she'd been meaning to talk to me about it. For the past couple of months. Because she's felt bad about me doing those things. But also.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_00] And I still don't know how to feel about this. Because she's worried. I'm getting too attached to the dog. And she's getting jealous. To be honest. I was more playful. When I greet the dog now. Compared to last year. Slash comfortable with her in my room. And I'd ask roommate. If I could walk her once. But she said no. So I didn't. But that seemed kind of ridiculous to me to say. I kind of used that. As more of a reason. To why I didn't want to be the one. Doing those things anymore. I did also ask her. Why she would message. To feed her dog. When both of us are out.

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_00] Slash she knew she was going out. She said because it was too late. And expensive. To get an uber back to our place. Which is why I feel bad. Still putting my foot down. About not doing this anymore. But again. Her dog. Her responsibility. I'm not doing it anymore. I did also ask her. To stop messaging me. For updates on how the dog is doing. As it makes me feel like. I gotta watch out for her constantly. I don't know if this is too far though. No. It's not. Good news though. Is that. I might be getting a pet of my own.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_00] I've been putting it off for a year. Because of her dog. And the fact that she didn't want me. To ask our landlord. Because of reasons. Like waiting until we've been there longer. Or until inspection. Or until lease is renewed. The goal post just kept moving. So. I just asked him myself. And he said he's more than happy for me too. Thank you for all the comments. On the previous post. Definitely a wake up call. Of how much I was letting her. Slash her life. Dictate my own for no reason. It feels nice. To not have that weight on my shoulders now. Commander says to OP.

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_00] She's going to keep dumping her dog on you. Nothing is going to change long term. Maybe for a week. If you get your own pet. While still living with her. You'll end up taking care of both. Roommates said. A comment about attachment and jealousy. As a means to deflect. Throw you off. And a touch of reverse psychology. See. I can take care of your dog. Without getting attached. Update us in a month please. I guarantee. She's still doing it. And blames you somehow. I'd love to hear what our rationale is next time. Commander says.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_00] Do not get a pet ball living with this woman. She'll see it as. Well if you can watch yours. Looking after mine won't be that hard. OP says. Maybe I should wait until I move. But also. No matter what. I'm not going to be watching hers anymore. I kind of don't see this as an issue. To stop me though. But I might be being dense. Someone says. What kind of pet is OP considering? OP says. A bird. I used to have one when I was younger. And wanted to get another for ages. Commander says. Why would you get a dog while living there?

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_00] That seems cruel. Because hers will feel much more neglected. OP says. Look. She won't even let me pat it now. Or let it come up to me. I think it's over. I'm moving out. As soon as the lease is up. I'm absolutely with those comments. On that situation. Of not getting the pet. Anytime soon. Especially in that place with her. Because. I just kind of feel like. You know. She's playing games in this situation. And she will continue to do so. And she's just genuinely. Not a good pet owner. I feel sorry for that dog. I mean.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_00] You've been caring for that dog. It sounds like at least 50% of the time. Yet. She won't let you bond with it. In any way. She won't let you walk the dog. She won't let you. You know. Have the dog on your bed. So she'd rather the dog. Just be wandering around the apartment. By itself. Lonely. Yeah. Fuck that person. But. If I was her. I'd be happy. That someone was looking after my dog. Show my dog love. And caring for it. Instead. She's getting jealous of it. I mean. It's just awful. But what do you guys make. Of this. Situation. Let us know your thoughts down.
