Would you have spoken up sooner, or waited for a private conversation?

Love how they expect a 19 year old to be understanding and emotionally mature, but 'daddy pants' shouldn't've read the room earlier trying to force the dad bombing on a teenager. Sure, OP isn't perfect, but just because he's nice n' eager, doesn't mean he gets to make a public speech and take control of the situation at her birthday. His action as an adult was was worse than what OP did as a reaction. Also, the mom should've stepped in sooner as she admitted she had been noticing her daughter struggle accepting his behavior and did nothing. Additionally, I don't think she looked down on her brother at all. She was simply surprised that he wasn't uncomfortable with the boyfriend trying to step into the dad role, which is valid to feel. It's not like she's forcing him to distance himself from the guy now that she knows the way her brother feels. In fact, OP was the only one who did the mature thing of facilitating open communication and setting things straight which is what the adults should've done in the first place instead of giving her flack for it. She absolutely didn't ruin her birthday. They did.

6:08 no he ruined it for her, she just ruined it for them in response, you guys really don’t get how weird and gross this is to do to a grown adult who young barely lived with out had involvement in raising them

@alexia2189 3 weeks ago (edited)

Nah, you missed the point. The girl doesn't have to accept the boyfriend of her mom as her dad. He is just a dude her mom dates. And the fact that the mom took his side, just shows what a disgusting pick me she is. She shouldn't wonder why her daughter doesn't talk to her in a few years. This "father" talk should have happened long time ago in between the mother and her kids and is not a thing you just spit out randomly on her birthday. I hope the girl is ok

@digiwatt 3 weeks ago

Sophie is way off mark here. One therapy of entirely unnecessary when the girl is setting boundaries. These are inconsiderate people shoehorning themselves into a role they haven’t earned with a grown and raised adult. He didn’t talk with her or ask her how she felt.

@DontLookAwayyyy 3 weeks ago (edited)

Respectfully I’d have to completely disagree on the 19yo being expected to hold back a conversation until a later time like an adult, but the ACTUAL ADULT not understanding it wasn’t the time or place for what he THOUGHT was a nice thing to say. Her birthday dinner was NOT about him, or even him THINKING he’s a father figure to her.

All of you missed the mark for this one. ESPECIALLY the comment on OOPs post saying men are oblivious, that just is another excuse to let men get away with being incompetent. The 19 yr old being expected to be an adult when she is not even yet fully developed mentally is what’s really bothersome.

@kaseebecerra9442 3 weeks ago

Sounds like dad in the cake story has an unhealthy relationship with food on top of being a crappy person

@Ahiruuriha 3 weeks ago

3:56 Regardless if it’s their birthday or not.
They do not have to play a role. If they do not see that person as their parent they do not have to acknowledge them as that.
Under no circumstance besides them WANTING to.
Period.
It may hurt the step father, but it’s not their concern, if he really was the father he claimed to be too, he would respect OP’s wishes and boundaries. Especially if they were close to their late father.
“Play a role” my ass, id rather be selfish. Why doesn’t the step father play the role as a respectful step father to someone who has a deceased father? God damn.

@cici4175 3 weeks ago

I’m sorry, but isn’t he mom’s boyfriend, NOT a step father?

@digiwatt 3 weeks ago

4:46 your birthday dinner is the best place to nip it in the bud

@sqeeksphantomchaos6155 3 weeks ago

Ya'll dropped the ball. Dude overstepped. It'd be one thing if she never had a dad but her dad is dead, he deserved the embarrassment

@gypsyrose-qq9nz 3 weeks ago

Moms BF over stepped . And 18 is the legal age to drink in England. Just like parts of Canada is 18 & 19.

@KanataSD 3 weeks ago

The bf hijacking her birthday to push on him being her father figure was selfish. It was the only time to shoot it down instead of having to deal with comments down the road.

@GalliaUchiha 3 weeks ago

if it's MY birthday and I don't want to be talked to about in a certain way and the other adult/s is/are being obtuse, I'm going to say something.

It's MY birthday and I'll bitch if I want to.

dude isn't my dad and never will be. and he hasn't been around long enough to have made any actual impression outside of being annoying. the situation screams of him trying only when other people are watching.

@ricardoospina5970 3 weeks ago

The reason story 2 confuses you is the doctor and the wife have the most legendary thing on reddit stories, a healthy relationship. Which never happens in these stories.

@biancaxsmith 3 weeks ago (edited)

No.. no one has the right to claim space where they haven’t been invited. It’s that simple. And while she’s internally grieving her Dad at her birthday. It’s really understandable.

@paper-glass 3 weeks ago

No she doesn’t have to play a role, it’s a random man her moms been dating for 2 years trying to replace her dead dad. No she doesn’t have to play along. SHE BEEN PLAYING ALONG. It’s weird of him for trying to say “you finally have a father figure” it’s disrespectful to her dead father. She’s an adult and didn’t have to play house with ppl. She’s respects her mom’s happiness and that she’s moving on, she respects him as her boyfriend but not overstepping. It’s her birthday there is not time and place. She never said she felt her birthday was ruined and it would be the boyfriend ruining her birthday for making the unnecessary comment.

@Spideymania 3 weeks ago

But she can legally drink. The drinking age is 18 in the UK.

@mikethefn 3 weeks ago

S1 If the step-dad had the audacity to say that in front of a group of people, he deserves the consequences of being called out in front of said group of people. OP just gave back what stepdad was dishing out. You guys are way off.

@ChristyWallin 3 weeks ago

Boyfriend uses a special event to t-r-y to insert himself into a role he’s clearly not been welcome. He’s the boyfriend not the stepdad which would only be one notch and clearly not a replacement for OPs dad. He got what he deserved and OPs mom fits right in with him.

OP, stay close to brother, he needs you but if you’re living in your mom’s house, start looking!
